He explained that the IRS should be allowed to probe all political groups, except the organizations that has a high concentration of blacks, because that would obviously be racial profiling.</p>

Medical documents are verifying that the King of Pop had over 25 facelifts. The skin on his face was said to be so tight, that his children would often bounce quarters off of his cheeks as he slept. All three of his kids have emphatically denied that is true, and said it was nickels</p>

Simpson comments on Jodi Arias getting convicted for first degree murder, in which he blamed her legal counsel. He stated that because her lawyers should have been aware that the brutal murder was going to be a high profile case, they should have fought to move the trial from Phoenix, to any court in California. He explained by saying that the Golden State would be better for Jodi, because they have plenty of agents that can secure book or movie deals for misguided attention seeking jurists that will deliver a moronic verdict, as well as for deranged murderers that are usually free.</p>
<p><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-11314" href="http://www.redstatereport.com/2013/05/unconfirmed-breaking-newsmay-21st/irs-sign-building-jc-620xa/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11314" title="irs-sign-building-jc-620xa" src="http://www.redstatereport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/irs-sign-building-jc-620xa-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>BREAKING NEWS –</strong> Washington, D.C. – Christian organizations nationwide are outraged at the IRS’ plan, to audit God. The Internal Revenue Service is demanding to know what were his building expenses and how were the funds distributed when He created the universe. They also want to know, that after book of Genesis if He ever wrote humans off as a loss.</p>

They explained that because the IRS is a federal agency, they are obligated to protect its own. Thus, they said that they will continue to give additional scrutiny to any conservative groups that publicly states that they want a smaller federal government, or want to limit its growth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have gotten used to democrats coming up with convoluted reasoning&#8217;s behind all their moves.  Usually the reasons or blame belong to Bush or now the republicans.  This even though neither Bush nor the republicans in Congress are responsible in the slightest manner for whatever the problem is.</p>
<p>Republicans are responsible for the errant messages put out by Susan Rice about Benghazi.  Republicans are responsible for the lack of security in Benghazi.  Blame goes on and on.</p>
<p>On the other hand we have Obama and his minions selling Obamacare as the best thing since before sliced bread.  They are still trying to sell the idea that Obamacare will save people money.  During a <a title="Obama: $1 trillion in Obamacare spending is historic 'tax cut" href="http://washingtonexaminer.com/obama-1-trillion-in-obamacare-spending-is-historic-tax-cut/article/2529406">mothers day address</a> Obama described the law as:</p>
<blockquote><p>“largest health care tax cut for working families and small businesses in our history. “</p>
<p>His argument was a Hail-Mary effort to redesignate subsidies for individuals to purchase health insurance on government-run exchanges as a “tax cut.” But according to the Congressional Budget Office, these subsidies actually qualify as more than $1 trillion in “Exchange Subsidies and Related <strong>Spending</strong>.”</p>
<p>Far from being a historic tax cut, Obamacare actually qualifies as one of the largest tax increases in history. It contains roughly $1 trillion in taxes — on insurance plans, medical devices and investment income. And many of the taxes will end up falling on the middle class.</p></blockquote>
<p>Ok, so now a historic tax increase is actually a historic tax Cut!</p>
<p>If that is not psychotic enough, a democrat representative Congresswomen<a title="Video: Obamacare will improve… marriages?" href="http://hotair.com/archives/2013/05/11/video-obamacare-will-improve-marriages/"> Janice Hahn stated</a>:</p>
<p><a href="
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDpzw7HH4WA">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDpzw7HH4WA</a></p>
<p></a></p>
<blockquote><p>“It’s an interesting angle, to talk about people who really only have jobs for the health insurance as being one angle to that. I had a friend who got married to the wrong person just so she could have heath insurance. So, we’ll also have a lot of less bad marriages as a result of this.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Thank god, Obama is there to save potential bad marriages.  I know I had always made sure that young girls made sure they were dating men who possessed good healthcare.</p>
<p>I know so many people who made that mistake&#8230;.wait&#8230;..no I don&#8217;t.  I know people (men and women) who made a mistake getting into marriages they shouldn&#8217;t have, maybe for money (although I don&#8217;t know many women who actually made this mistake, I guess the women I know are not shallow) or confuse lust for love (the biggest cause) but nobody I know married anybody for insurance.  That does not include those marrying somebody with a huge life insurance policy.</p>
<p>Democrats are a seriously twisted group.  It is even more disturbing that the mainstream media will back these idiots.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-11268" href="http://www.redstatereport.com/2013/05/whats-so-bad-about-china/obama-2-2/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11268" title="obama-2" src="http://www.redstatereport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/obama-2-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>OK, China is a murderous communist state, but when looking at some aspects of China&#8217;s government I can&#8217;t help thinking I am looking into a mirror.</p>
<p>During the election, Donald Trump made an impassioned request to hold China&#8217;s feet to the fire when it came to currency manipulation.  It is true that China does seriously manipulate their currency, to the point one would believe their house of cards will come tumbling down any time now.  Then I look in the mirror at the reflection and I see the Obama administration doing the same thing.  Timothy Geithner (a tax cheat) has been very loose with the Quantitative Easing, going through 3 in Obama&#8217;s first term.  The manipulation with the  Q.E.&#8217;s is having the government buy their own bonds, with borrowed money.  Most other country have lost confidence in the US dollar  so they have not been investing in US backed bonds, which allows the government to continue to borrow money at low interest rates.  Geithner has been throwing $ billions (of borrowed money mostly from China) into the three quantitative easings in which the Treasury Department is buying it&#8217;s own bonds.  It&#8217;s all about paying the piper, much later (like after Obama is gone from government).</p>
<p>Question: What will happen when a China&#8217;s financial chicken&#8217;s come home to roost, especially when they hold a majority of the US bonds?  Obama can&#8217;t afford China&#8217;s financial difficulties, just as China can&#8217;t afford ours.  It&#8217;s like having two criminals depend on each other&#8230;do you really want to depend on a criminal, especially when you are guilty too?</p>
<p>As if our financial house of cards isn&#8217;t bad enough, there is one more even more diabolical similarity between the Obama administration and China.</p>
<p>China has long been in violation of religious freedom and human rights, nobody questions that, but does anybody remember Obama has his<a title="By the way, the guy who made the YouTube video that didn’t cause Benghazi just got a year in jail" href="http://dailycaller.com/2012/11/08/by-the-way-the-guy-who-made-the-youtube-video-that-didnt-cause-benghazi-just-got-a-year-in-jail/"> own political prisoner</a>?</p>
<p>Benghazi is finally in the eye of the MSM asking what really happened.  By the way, welcome to the party MSM, really late but still welcome.  We are finding out all kinds of information, like what really caused the attack.</p>
<p>You might be surprised to find, nobody in any part of intelligence or counter-terrorism ever believed the attack was anything other than a well planned terror attack.  You know what that means?  The attack did not happen because some independent person made a film (and a poorly made one at that from what I understand) critical of Islam.</p>
<p>That person was arrested by the Justice Department (for reasons I&#8217;m sure China will use with their next political prisoner) and sits in jail to this day.  This author is being used by the Obama administration as a scape-goat  to hide the fact the State Department and maybe Obama himself, left those in Benghazi to be slaughtered without doing anything prior to or during to help these American citizens.</p>
<p>Even though the truth is filtering out, the Obama administration is happy to leave this innocent US citizen (and bad film maker) to rot in jail.  This is the definition of a political prisoner.</p>
<p>When we point a finger at China, just remember there are three fingers pointing back at US.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-11255" href="http://www.redstatereport.com/2013/04/syria-are-you-serious/us-obama-worried/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11255" title="US-obama-worried" src="http://www.redstatereport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/US-obama-worried-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>At this point in history, I&#8217;d say the US is experienced in conflicts within Muslim countries.  We did need to go into Afghanistan and kick some Taliban butt (and did a good job of it, until they escaped into Pakistan), then we entered Iraq.  A lot of people say it was a bad decision, I will say it was the necessary decision at the time.  I can just see a number of people having seizures at their computer right now, so hear me out.  We had just chased al-Qaeda out of Afghanistan, not defeated them, we could have either invaded Pakistan (a country who is supposedly an ally, but had done nothing &#8220;wrong&#8221; at this point in history), declared complete victory and pulled completely out of the region leaving al-Qaeda time to plan another 9-11 or we could have found another front for the War on Terror.  Enter Iraq and Hussein, who conveniently was trying to shoot down our fighter planes, was funding terror groups and was in complete violation of all the UN resolutions.  For good or bad we had our new front for the war on terror.  Iraq is working out better after the Bush plan ended the conflict there, than Afghanistan is going for us now.</p>
<p>That brings in the new conflicts.  First there was Egypt, a complete misread (I hope, or Obama is a completely dangerous) which is under the control of the Muslim Brotherhood.  The Muslim Brotherhood is installing Sharia law, which is not friendly to women or religions other than Islam and is well known to be parent group from which al-Qaeda was spawned.  Oh yeah, the Obama administration keep sending these guys F-15 fighter jets during the sequestration to boot.</p>
<p>Now we have Syria.</p>
<p>The news is all a blaze about the use of chemical weapons and who used them.  Obama did promise, any use of chemical weapons would cross a virtual &#8220;red line&#8221;.   The mainstream press is sure Assad is the culprit, but I have learned to never believe the MSM, they will spin a story to their own benefit.  What if it was Assad who used the chemical weapons?  What do we do then?</p>
<p>Yes, the Syrian president is a dictator and ruthless.  That is on one side of the conflict, on the other side are the rebels, who have been getting their weapons from the Obama administration.  Who are the rebels?  Mostly they are either a part of al-Qaeda or sympathize with al-Qaeda.</p>
<p>If Obama decides to get more involved in Syria because Assad used chemical weapons against the rebels (remember they are mostly al-Qaeda), then what is Obama&#8217;s ultimate goal?  Is he hoping for a peaceful, loving country if al-Qaeda gets control of Syria?  That kind of thinking has not really worked out well for Egypt.  The Brotherhood makes constant threats to Israel and is getting real cozy with Iran.  Call me crazy, but that doesn&#8217;t look like a winning strategy for America.  Is it bad to use chemical weapons on al-Qaeda and their sympathizers?</p>
<p>Basically, is Syria worth spilling one drop of blood from our precious fighting men and women, who have already given so much?  Iraq may end up a success story, of sorts, but I doubt Afghanistan will especially with an administration that is not committed to winning the conflict in Afghanistan.  The Rules of Engagement are so restrictive, our military basically can&#8217;t do anything until after they have been killed, then they can shoot back.</p>
<p>What would we be fighting for?  If we get more involved and Assad wins, we have teed him off, royally.  He will not be a friend of ours anymore.  If the rebels win&#8230;.well, they will thank us&#8230;then blow us up!  This is truly a Lose-Lose situation.</p>
<p>My suggestion: Get as far away from Syria as we can.  Get out completely.   That country is a cluster $#@% and getting involved further is to guarantee disaster.</p>
<p>Egypt should have taught the US something.  Sometimes a dictator is what is needed to keep some very bad guys under control.  It took a long time for me to realize that, but I now feel, maybe Assad is exactly what Syria and the world needs&#8230;A ruthless dictator to control the ruthless murderous Islamic terrorists.</p>

<p>NASA has normally been a trusted partner in this fairy tale, but maybe no longer.</p>
<p>From a study done by none other<a title="Solar Storm Dumps Gigawatts into Earth's Upper Atmosphere" href="http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2012/22mar_saber/"> than NASA</a>:</p>
<p><em>“Carbon dioxide and nitric oxide are natural thermostats,” explains James Russell of Hampton University, SABER’s principal investigator.  “When the upper atmosphere (or ‘thermosphere’) heats up, these molecules try as hard as they can to shed that heat back into space.”</em></p>
<p>So, carbon dioxide and nitric oxide reflect heat back away from earth.  If we didn&#8217;t have CO2 then earth would literally burn up from solar flares and the liberals are trying to rid the planet of this protective chemical compound.</p>
<p>NASA scientists are estimating sun flares to be reduced dramatically <a title="NASA Warns Earth May Be Entering a Period of “Global Cooling”" href="http://chemtrailsplanet.net/2013/01/13/nasa-warns-earth-may-be-entering-a-period-of-global-cooling/">causing global cooling</a>:</p>
<p><em>NASA reports this week that we may be <a title="on the verge of another Maunder Minimum" href="http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/08jan_sunclimate/" target="_blank">on the verge of another Maunder Minimum</a> (a period with an unusually low number of sunspots, leading to colder temperatures):</em></p>
<blockquote><p>Much has been made of the probable connection between the Maunder Minimum, a 70-year deficit of sunspots in the late 17<sup>th</sup>-early 18th century, and the coldest part of the Little Ice Age, during which Europe and North America were subjected to bitterly cold winters. The mechanism for that regional cooling could have been a drop in the sun’s EUV output; this is, however, speculative.</p>
<div>
<p><a href="http://science.nasa.gov/media/medialibrary/2013/01/08/sunspotnumbers_strip.jpg" target="_blank"><img title="NASA: We May Be On the Verge of a Mini Maunder Event" src="http://science.nasa.gov/media/medialibrary/2013/01/08/sunspotnumbers_strip.jpg/image_full" alt=" NASA: We May Be On the Verge of a Mini Maunder Event" /></a></p>
<div>The yearly averaged sunspot number for a period of 400 years (1610-2010). SOURCE: Courtesy of NASA Marshall Space Flight Center.</div>
</div>
<p><strong>The sun could be on the threshold of a mini-Maunder event right now</strong>. Ongoing Solar Cycle 24 is the weakest in more than 50 years. Moreover, there is (controversial) evidence of a long-term weakening trend in the <a id="FALINK_3_0_2" href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/nasa-we-may-be-on-the-verge-of-a-mini-maunder-event-is-a-planetary-cooling-spell-straight-ahead/5318725#">magnetic field strength</a> of sunspots. Matt Penn and William Livingston of the National Solar Observatory predict that by the time Solar Cycle 25 arrives, magnetic fields on the sun will be so weak that few if any sunspots will be formed. Independent lines of research involving helioseismology and surface polar fields tend to support their conclusion.</p></blockquote>
<p><em>NASA explains that interactions between the sun, sources of cosmic radiation and the Earth are very complicated, and it takes an interdisciplinary team of heliophysicists, chemists and others to quantify what is really going on. And the Earth’s climate is also affected by cosmic radiation.</em></p>
<p><em>So – even if NASA’s prediction of a period of an unusually low amount of sun spots is proven correct – it is hard to know whether that will lead to a large or small reduction in temperature trends.</em></p>
<p>If you want to affect the CO2 production in this country, link CO2 to global cooling.  After this winter, which seemed to last forever, I would be more likely to drive my Tahoe less if it meant we would advert a mini ice age.  Of course I don&#8217;t think they had many cars in the 17th and 18th century, so maybe I shouldn&#8217;t worry about the CO2 output in this country.</p>
<p>My advice to the global warming worshiping liberals; don&#8217;t get rid of your winter clothes yet, you may need them more than you think you will.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The House has finished their investigation into the Benghazi debacle and has now released the report from the investigation.  Of course the mainstream propaganda machine (the press) will not release the report, <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/InstaBlog/2013/04/23/House-Releases-Report-on-Benghazi-Attack">so here it is</a>:</p>
<div>
<p>A report on the Benghazi attack by five different House committees has made the following findings.</p>
<div>
<div id="content_0_divMainContent">
<div>
<p><strong>Before the Attacks</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>After the U.S.-backed Libyan revolution ended the Gadhafi regime,<strong> the U.S. government did not deploy sufficient U.S. security elements to protect U.S. interests and personnel that remained on the ground.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Senior State Department officials knew that the threat environment in Benghazi was high and that the Benghazi compound was vulnerable and unable to withstand an attack, yet the Department continued to systematically withdraw security personnel.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Repeated requests for additional security were denied at the highest levels of the State Department.</strong>For example, an April 2012 State Department cable bearing Secretary Hillary Clinton’s signature acknowledged then-Ambassador Cretz’s formal request for additional security assets but ordered the withdrawal of security elements to proceed as planned.</li>
<li><strong>The attacks were not the result of a failure by the Intelligence Community (IC) to recognize or communicate the threat.</strong> The IC collected considerable information about the threats in the region, and disseminated regular assessments to senior U.S. officials warning of the deteriorating security environment in Benghazi, which included threats to American interests, facilities, and personnel.</li>
<li><strong>The President, as Commander-in-Chief, failed to proactively anticipate the significance of September 11 and provide the Department of Defense with the authority to launch offensive operations beyond self-defense.</strong> Defense Department assets were correctly positioned for the general threat across the region, but the assets were not authorized at an alert posture to launch offensive operations beyond self-defense, and were provided no notice to defend diplomatic facilities.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>During the Attacks</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>On the evening of September 11, 2012, <strong>U.S. security teams on the ground in Benghazi exhibited extreme bravery</strong>responding the attacks by al-Qa’ida-affiliated groups against the U.S. mission.</li>
<li><strong>Department of Defense officials and military personnel reacted quickly to the attacks in Benghazi.</strong> The effectiveness of their response was hindered on account of U.S. military forces not being properly postured to address the growing threats in northern Africa or to respond to a brief, high-intensity attack on U.S. personnel or interests across much of Africa.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>After the Attacks</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Administration willfully perpetuated a deliberately misleading and incomplete narrative that the attacks evolved from a political demonstration caused by a YouTube video.</strong>U.S. officials on the ground reported – and video evidence confirms – that demonstrations outside the Benghazi Mission did not occur and that the incident began with an armed attack on the facility. Senior Administration officials knowingly minimized the role played by al-Qa’ida-affiliated entities and other associated groups in the attacks, and decided to exclude from the discussion the previous attempts by extremists to attack U.S. persons or facilities in Libya.</li>
<li><strong>Administration officials crafted and continued to rely on incomplete and misleading talking points.</strong>Specifically, after a White House Deputies Meeting on Saturday, September 15, 2012, the Administration altered the talking points to remove references to the likely participation of Islamic extremists in the attacks. The Administration also removed references to the threat of extremists linked to al-Qa’ida in Benghazi and eastern Libya, including information about at least five other attacks against foreign interests in Benghazi. Senior State Department officials requested – and the White House approved – that the details of the threats, specifics of the previous attacks, and previous warnings be removed to insulate the Department from criticism that it ignored the threat environment in Benghazi.</li>
<li><strong>Evidence rebuts Administration claims that the talking points were modified to protect classified information or to protect an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).</strong>Email exchanges during the interagencyprocess do not reveal any concern with protecting classified information. Additionally, the Bureau itself approved a version of the talking points with significantly more information about the attacks and previous threats than the version that the State Department requested. Thus, the claim that the State Department’s edits were made solely to protect that investigation is not credible.</li>
<li><strong>The Administration deflected responsibility by blaming the IC for the information it communicated to the public in both the talking points and the subsequent narrative it perpetuated.</strong> Had Administration spokesmen performed even limited due diligence inquiries into the intelligence behind the talking points or requested reports from personnel on the ground, they would have quickly understood that the situation was more complex than the narrative provided by Ambassador Susan Rice and others in the Administration.</li>
<li><strong>The Administration’s decision to respond to the Benghazi attacks with an FBI investigation, rather than military or other intelligence resources, contributed to the government’s lack of candor about the nature of the attack.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Responding to the attacks with an FBI investigation significantly delayed U.S. access to key witnesses and evidence and undermined the government’s ability to bring those responsible for the attacks to justice in a timely manner. </strong></li>
</ul>
<div>[Bold typeface is in the original document.]<strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div>After reading the report the question now is, what will the Congress do with this information?  Does this warrant impeachment proceedings against Obama?  What price will Hillary Clinton pay for her gross negligence?</div>
<div>If Boehner had a set of testicles, I would expect the Impeachment to begin relatively soon, but we have already established Boehner is lacking that part of his anatomy.</div>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
</div>
</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-11233" href="http://www.redstatereport.com/2013/04/boston-truths-and-lies/to_tell_the_truth_2000-2002/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11233" title="To_Tell_the_Truth_2000-2002" src="http://www.redstatereport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/To_Tell_the_Truth_2000-2002-150x144.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="144" /></a>After the tragic bombing in Boston, I pretty much had already figured out the bombers were neither extreme right wing or left wing nuts.  How did I know that?  The target!  Extreme right wing nuts would go after government buildings while the left wing would attack anything that represents money, i.e. Wall Street.  Attacking a street full of innocent bystanders didn&#8217;t fit either freaks book of horror.  Not according to the mainstream press however.</p>
<p>Erin Burnett of CNN<a title="CNN's Erin Burnett Surprised Bombing Suspects Aren't 'Stereotypical' Americans" href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/04/20/CNN-s-Erin-Burnett-Assumed-Terrorism-Suspects-Were-Stereotypically-White-Americans"> seemed indignant </a>when it was found the bombers were Islamic and not what she hoped were WHITE possibly conservative bombers.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;They are young. They&#8217;re white. They&#8217;re very confident. They kind of look like college kids,&#8221; Burnett said on the Thursday evening edition of her low-rated primetime show, &#8220;Outfront.&#8221; </p>
<p>Later in the show, when Rep. Mike McCaul (R-TX) mentioned that he knew the, &#8220;Justice Department has requested the assistance of foreign countries in terms of foreign travel&#8221; about the suspects, Burnett seemed shocked. </p>
<p>&#8220;On foreign travel?&#8221; she incredulously asked. </p>
<p>McCaul said there, &#8220;may be some sort of foreign connection here.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Wait,&#8221; Burnett interrupted. &#8220;Let me make sure I understand. Sorry, I want to make you understand. So they&#8217;re still looking into the possibility that even though these two kids look very, very stereotypically like they&#8217;re from here that this may be linked to a foreign terror group?&#8221;</p>
<p>McCaul then reiterated that it was &#8220;unclear and the nationalities are very unclear from the images that you see.&#8221; </p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m sure they had to pick Erin up off the ground sobbing as it became clear the two brothers are Islamic extremists.  Burnett did everything she could possibly do to make sure her viewers (all 5 of them) thought these guys were regular WHITE college guys, probably conservative as well.</p>
<p>We all heard the supposition all last week, from Salon magazine hoping, maybe even praying that the bombers were homegrown WHITE guys, to the talking heads (butts would be a more apt description) on MSNBC and CNN making sure to interject that this bombing, even though it had the earmarks of al-Qeada was probably homegrown and most likely right wing.</p>
<p>I will admit, there was one real BIG surprise from the entertainment world.  Bill Maher blasted Islam and defending Christianity.  Check out the <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2013/04/20/bill-maher-violence-islam-christianity-liberal-bullshit/">video here.</a></p>
<p><em>This week, <a title="Bill Maher: 'Liberal Bullsh**' to Compare Islamic Terror to Christianity" href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2013/04/21/bill-maher-islam-liberal">Maher obliterated </a>a guest who dared compare Islamic terror to crimes committed by Christians</em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>You know what — that’s liberal bullshit right there … they’re not as dangerous. I mean there’s only one faith, for example, that kills you or wants to kill you if you draw a bad cartoon of the prophet. There’s only one faith that kills you or wants to kill you if you renounce the faith. An ex-Muslim is a very dangerous thing. Talk to Salman Rushdie after the show about Christian versus Islam.</p></blockquote>
<p><em>The guest in question, Brian Levin, serves as director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at CSU-San Bernardino. When Levin brought up Islamic terrorism critic Pamela Gellar to bolster his flailing case, Maher served up one more obvious truth.</em> </p>
<blockquote><p>As many people have pointed out — ‘The Book of Mormon,’ did you see the show? … OK, can you imagine if they did ‘The Book of Islam?’ Could they do that? There’s only one religion that threatens violence and carries it out for things like that. Could they do “The Book of Islam” on Broadway?</p></blockquote>
<p>I found myself picking up my jaw from the floor as well.  I&#8217;m sure Bill Maher standing up for Christianity in anyway is a sign of the apocalypse.  I have to give him kudos when he is right and although this is as rare as winning the Powerball Lotto, he is on the mark.  Don&#8217;t expect this to last however.  Life will return to normal with Maher, very quickly. </p>
<p>Last week proved to be a big defeat for the left, not only was the right wing not responsible for the terrorism in Boston, but al-Qeada might have had a big hand in it, even though Obama destroyed them. </p>
<p>Time to lick some wounds.</p>

<p><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-11214" href="http://www.redstatereport.com/2013/04/unconfirmed-breaking-newsblakes-advise-column/creamowheat/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11214" title="creamowheat" src="http://www.redstatereport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/creamowheat.bmp" alt="" width="185" height="164" /></a></strong>Because I always lived in big cities, my recent visit to a farm was quite a disappointing experience. After sitting outside for hours in a field near some crops with a cup in my hand, I learned that no “cream” comes from “wheat”, which proves that the title of that food is very misleading. I also discovered that “corn” cannot “stalk” anyone, and there aren’t any red bulls either.</p>

<p>My best friend just emailed a picture of her newborn baby. I hate to say it, but it is beyond ugly. I know when I see her next week, she’s going to ask me what do I think. Should I be honest, should I be deceptive, or avoid the question altogether?<strong><br />

<p><strong>Dear Gwendolyn,</strong></p>
<p>If it’s your best friend, you obviously have to be sensitive to her feelings. But, she should be sensitive of how you are affected physically, especially if the sight of this child makes you nauseous. Using some tact and compassion, tell her that the medication you have to take to avoid your stomach from feeling queasy from looking at her baby, is not covered by your health plan and is costing you a fortune. Hopefully she’ll be understanding enough not to hold anything against you. If she happens to get mad at your honest assessment of the situation, tell her you’re only human, even though her child doesn’t appear to be. I hope this helps.</p>

<p>I have selenophobia (fear of the moon). I won’t even go outside at night knowing that big thing is floating in the sky and staring at me. What can I do about this? I tried writing my congressman to see if he could have it moved to another part of this planet, but he has yet to respond to any of my countless letters. What should I do?</p>
<p><strong>Signed Taylor, from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma</strong></p>
<p><strong>* * * * * * * *</strong></p>
<p><strong>Dear Taylor,</strong></p>
<p>I’ve always thought the moon was beautiful and romantic. The soft glow has inspired many a poet throughout history. Thus I don’t understand why you’re exaggerating your self importance by assuming that a satellite 240,000 miles away would squander it’s time glaring at you, out of all the billions of people on this planet, especially in that dusty state in which you reside. However, you just may be able to bond with your congressman, because many of them are also mentally unstable. Legend does tell us that certain type of people are dramatically affected by the moon. When it appears, do you quickly grow fangs, fur, and a tail? If your answer is yes, start wearing a flea collar, and take two silver bullets and call me in the morning. I hope this helps.</p>

<p><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-11218" href="http://www.redstatereport.com/2013/04/unconfirmed-breaking-newsblakes-advise-column/ask-blake-picture1111-2/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11218" title="Ask-Blake-Picture1111" src="http://www.redstatereport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Ask-Blake-Picture11111-150x150.png" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Dear Blake,</strong></p>
<p>I am in my second year of college, and I am outraged at my parents! They refused to let me go on spring break this year, and ordered me home during that time period. I will admit that the last spring break, I was so wasted, that I slept on a park bench for two days before I sobered up. Even with all that in mind, as a college student I feel my parents should be legally obligated to indulge me in my rite of passage. Do you back me up?</p>
<p><strong>Signed Conrad, from Tallahassee, Florida</strong></p>
<p><strong>* * * * * * * *</strong></p>
<p><strong>Dear Conrad,</strong></p>
<p>I suggest that you draft a letter to your parents, expressing exactly what you conveyed to me. This will provide them with a hard copy of something they can laugh at, when they aren’t blaming each other for your conception. Are you kidding me? You really think you parents should be obligated by law to finance your drinking binges, along with whatever other creative entertainment you want to be involved in? Are you affiliated with a fraternity or are you independently stupid? You didn’t name the college you attend, so I’m assuming that either you haven’t taken any courses in “common sense” or your school doesn’t offer any. Hopefully, one of these days, the high concentration of senior citizens in your state will rise up against the ongoing reckless buffoonery of college eggheads on spring break, and starting running you guys over in their motorize wheelchairs. No matter how severe your injury, I seriously doubt if any court in Florida will convict them. I hope this helps.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-11202" href="http://www.redstatereport.com/2013/04/main-stream-media-is-racist/55_xlarge/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11202" title="55_xlarge" src="http://www.redstatereport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/55_xlarge.jpeg" alt="" width="221" height="168" /></a>We have all known for a long time, the main stream media is liberal even socialist, but I truly believe the MSM is racist!  When you look at the evidence I think it is obvious.  Sure the media cheers for, even covers up for Obama and they praise black sports figures and even laud some over other sports figures (until they show they think for themselves, i.e. Robert Griffin III).  I summit this is all to make them feel better about their racism.  I mean just look at how the  MSM treats black conservatives.  They are called Uncle Tom&#8217;s and tokens to make conservatives feel better about their racism.  I believe they doth protest too much to hide their racism.</p>
<p>I shall give you my proof.</p>
<p>Have any of you heard about Dr. Kermit Gosnell of Philadelphia, PA?  Why is he important?  He is on trial for murdering infants.  Dr. Gosnell is an abortion doctor who has been known to abort babies well beyond the allowed gestation period for an abortion, which is 24 weeks, beyond that is the third trimester.  He also has been reported to slice the spinal cords of these babies after they have been forcefully delivered, in order to kill them (finish the abortion).  Many of these babies are to a point in their gestation, they could survive given the proper care.</p>
<p>The <a title="Kermit Gosnell: US abortion doctor could be put to death over 'baby charnel house'" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/9991030/Kermit-Gosnell-US-abortion-doctor-could-be-put-to-death-over-baby-charnel-house.html">descriptions given</a> by many employees and nurses that have worked with Dr. Gosnell are truly sickening and extremely horrific.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Why is this an example of racism?  Well, have you heard much about this?  Of course not.  If not for the local Philadelphia news along with Fox News and conservative talk radio this case wouldn&#8217;t have been heard from.  For proof of this I posted a picture of the seats saved at the trial for the national media.<a rel="attachment wp-att-11200" href="http://www.redstatereport.com/2013/04/main-stream-media-is-racist/gosnellmediaseating/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11200" title="Gosnellmediaseating" src="http://www.redstatereport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Gosnellmediaseating.jpg" alt="" width="333" height="249" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The seats are pretty empty, but how does this prove racism?  Did I mention all the mothers and babies are black.  Yes, Dr. Gosnell has been performing acts that only a Hollywood horror producer could come up with, on black victims and the main stream media is silent.  Would they be silent if all these babies belonged to good looking white mothers?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We have heard nearly everyday about the victims and parents of the Sandy Hook massacre, which was indeed horrific, but how many times has the MSM talked about the hundreds of young black murder victims in Chicago?  How many black children died at Sandy Hook?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I know the President has been pushing the Sandy Hook narrative, but what of his back yard?  Is Obama totally oblivious to the plight of young black children in Chicago?  Illinois and Chicago have some of the toughest gun laws on the books, yet hundreds of disadvantaged black youth are getting gunned down in Chicago without a peep from the national media.  But this narrative doesn&#8217;t help push gun control of AR-15&#8242;s, because the killings in Chicago are mostly from gang members use of handguns.  Guns I might add the government will never be able to control.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Yes, the media does highlight some in the black community, for a feel good story, but when it comes to stories that may move people to cry out for change, well, when there are democrats in power the media is silent.  Rahm Emanuel is the mayor of Chicago and abortion is the sacrament that the left celebrates.  These are pillars of the democrat party that can not be touched, so the black community is a useful tool when necessary for the media, but the lives of black youth doesn&#8217;t trump the need to keep the democrats and abortion looking good.  The media&#8217;s lies through omission would suggest a deep seated racism and they refuse to help save the lives of these many young black children.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The mainstream media is just a propaganda wing of the democrat party now, not unlike Joseph Goebbels&#8217; propaganda wing for Hitler.  Hitler made the Jews his useful tool while hiding the hideous truth, today&#8217;s media is doing the same thing to the black community.</p>

<p>D.C. Comics is wading back into the LGBT community (You have to add a Q to the alphabet soup now, which stands for questioning).  Last year D.C. introduced a &#8220;gay&#8221; character to their line up.  The character happened to be a much forgotten character, Alan Scott&#8217;s Green Lantern, which is different than the Green Lantern we are all used to, Hal Jordan.  Before Alan Scott, D.C. had the lesbian Batwomen.  Nobody knew there was a Batwomen, but apparently there is.</p>
<p>Now D.C. is going all out with this current character who is coming out of the closet.  <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2013/04/10/Batgirl-Comic-Character-Comes-Out-as-Transgender">Batgirl </a>will announce that she/he is transgendered and bisexual!</p>
<blockquote><p>This month&#8217;s issue reveals that secret. In a face-to-face discussion, Barbara Gordon and her roommate have a serious chat in which roommate Yeoh reveals that she is really a he and bisexual as well.</p>
<p>So, <em>Batgirl</em> number 19 marks the debut as the very first &#8220;real-world&#8221; transgendered character in all of mainstream comics. By &#8220;Real-world&#8221; that means a character that is merely transgendered in the &#8220;real-world&#8221; sense, not changed via some sort of superhero-styled transformation.</p></blockquote>
<p>OK, now we find out that Batgirl, the once loved Barbara Gordon, daughter of Batman&#8217;s friend commissioner Gordon, shaves not only her/his legs but his/her face as well.</p>
<p>Let me get this straight (if I can actually use the word &#8220;straight&#8221; when discussing this).  Batgirl was a guy, but is now a girl and in addtion to that is bisexual?!  So if she was a he and Batgirl perfers girls, does that make him/her straight?  What is it called when a transgendered person likes a person of what once was the same sex?  I think I have just found the definition for the &#8220;Questioning&#8221; definition within the LGBTQ alphabet soup.  My head hurts now.</p>
<p>I would be a little worried about this superhero.  This is one very confused superhero.  How can you expect her/him to figure out a criminal mastermind, if they can&#8217;t even figure themselves out?</p>
<p>OK Batgirl/guy please don&#8217;t get offended if I call in Batman instead of you.  Batman is a very confident, self-assured individual who is never confused, so I have the confidence that if I&#8217;m threatened by a criminal mastermind, Batman will be able to figure him out as he has long ago figured himself out, to be a straight, focused, maybe angery, intellegent person.</p>
<p><strong>WARNING:</strong> The left is co-opting the english language again.  No longer are those of us who are heterosexual, normal or straight, we are <strong>Cis-gendered</strong>.  From the same story:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Look, we have a problem most media don&#8217;t have, which is that almost all the tentpoles we build our industry upon were created over a half century ago … at a time where the characters were almost without exception white, <strong>cis-gendered*, </strong>straight, on and on. It’s fine&#8211;it&#8217;s great that people love those characters. But if we only build around them, then we look like an episode of The Andy Griffith Show for all eternity.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>There is no such thing as normal anymore, we are all different definitions of normal.  This is a very steep slope we are going down.</p>

</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She asked, “What’s that?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>I said, “A rifle.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She asked, “What kind?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div><em>I replied, “It is called a Garand.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div><em>She rather loudly said, “I don’t care if it is a grand rifle or not. Is it an assault rifle?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div><em>To which I replied, “I don’t know. I don’t know what an assault rifle is. You say it’s a rifle used in war, yet you say that my musket and muzzle loader are not assault rifles.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She calmed down (a bit) and asked, “Anything else?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>I said, “I have an MG-.30, and an MG-.50. I‘m also part owner of an Apache. But they are not rifles.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She stated, “Well, then, I’m not interested in them. Anything else.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>I replied, “Well, yes. I also have a 12-gauge and a 20-gauge pump. They are not rifled though.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She said, “I’m not interested in pumps; I’m interested in guns.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>I replied, “Well, then, I have a Colt, a Luger, a Glock, a bazooka, a Parabellum, a Kalishnikov, a Henry, a Uzi, a Llama, and a Beretta&#8211;but they are not rifles.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She then said, “I’ve had enough of this. I think you’re toying with me. Let me see your leg.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>I then said, “Excuse me, but before you look at my leg, I have a few questions to ask of you.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She replied, “Of course. What are they?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>I said, “I have given you a lot of information about my guns. I am somewhat concerned about your knowledge and ability to assimilate, make coherent sense of that information, and report it correctly. Do you know the difference between a .22 caliber and a .223 caliber? It’s a rather fundamental difference.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She replied, “Actually, I don’t.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>I said, “I see. Let me ask some more relevant questions. “How much money do you make?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She said, “That’s personal, why do you ask?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>I said, “Well, in pushing the Health Care Act, my president cautioned the population about doctors that would amputate a leg rather than treat a cut because they make more money that way. Consequently, I wish to know if you are financially troubled. What kind of car do you drive? What are your house payments? How much is your mortgage? How much credit card debt do you have? Do you have a student loan; if so, how much?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She said, “I’m not going to answer those questions. You have no right to ask them.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>I then asked, “Do you have training and education in homeopathic techniques? Do you know the benefits/effects of CoQ10, ginseng, fish oil, Creatine, BCAA, and other such herbal treatments?” Do you know the difference between Panax ginseng, American ginseng, and Siberian ginseng?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She replied, “Well, no.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>I then asked, ”Well, have you studied it at all?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She replied rather defensively, “NO; it’s all a bunch of hogwash anyway.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>I said, “Oh, then you have read the research on it. What have you read?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She then said, “I don’t waste my time reading such things. Why are you asking me these questions?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>I said, “Well, if I’m going to turn my body over to you for treatment, I believe it is reasonable for me to know something about your motivation, training, experience, and competence. Do you know anything about the practice of holistic medicine?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She said, rather angrily “No, I don’t.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div><em>I said, “Oh. O.K. How much experience do you have in practicing medicine?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She replied, “Well, not very much.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>To which I said, “Well, we all have to start somewhere. What medical school did you go to; what is its rank in terms of other medical schools; where did you intern; and where did you do your residency? What is the rank of the hospital where you did your internship and residency?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She rather peevishly said, “All my credentials are posted in the waiting room.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>To which I said, “Really? The rank of your medical school is posted in the waiting room? Do you have any experience with leg injuries? If so, how much?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>I guess that was too much for her. She rather crossly said, “I think it would be best if you saw a different doctor.” and started to leave the room.</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>I said, “You know, doctor. You asked me irrelevant questions about my guns, and I answered them. Whether or not I own guns is really none of your business and has absolutely nothing to do with any treatment you might prescribe. On the other hand, I ask you questions quite relevant to my situation, and you refuse to answer them. Isn’t that somewhat backwards?”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>She said, “But I HAVE to ask those questions. It’s the law.”</em></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<em>To which I replied, “Actually, it is NOT the law.&#8221;</em></div>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>Currently it is not law, federally, to ask these questions, but obviously some states are making it the law.  You still have your right to privacy, exercise it.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-11173" href="http://www.redstatereport.com/2013/04/7-yr-old-walk-on-scores-nebraskas-final-touchdown/jackandrex/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11173" title="JackandRex" src="http://www.redstatereport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/JackandRex-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>I have been highlighting Universities that don&#8217;t exactly set the example for morality and standards for other institutions in this wonderful country.  Now is my chance to do the opposite.  I am going to highlight a great moment in college history, the event occurred yesterday April 6, 2013.</p>
<p>April 6th was the date on the University of Nebraska&#8217;s annual red-white spring scrimmage/game.  As I was driving home from my job, I remembered the Spring Game was on the radio and the first play I heard was a play that will live in my memory forever.</p>
<p>I got home and described the play to my 15 year old son, a rabid Husker fan who knows all the players.  I told him a new I-back, Jack Hoffman had been put in the game and scored on a 69 yard run.  My son had heard a little bit about the run but didn&#8217;t pay a lot of attention, his first question was,<strong> &#8220;who is Jack Hoffman, is he a walk-on?&#8221;  To that I answered, &#8220;Yes!&#8221;  Yes, Jack is a walk-on</strong>, not in the football sense, but he first walked-on to Rex Burkhead&#8217;s heart (Burkhead was Nebraska senior running back last year, nicknamed Superman for a very good reason) over a year ago.  Rex found out Jack was suffering from brain cancer and immediately adopted his fight and cause as his own.  Through Rex, Jack became very close to the Nebraska football team and then the entire state.  You see, Jack walked into all our hearts and then yesterday, he walked into the hearts of the nation, with the help of a great football team.</p>
<p><a href="
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jmisv1Spck">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jmisv1Spck</a></p>
<p></a></p>
<p>The radio play-by-play is included in the video.  The color commentary that didn&#8217;t make it into the video started before the video in which Matt Davidson (color commentary) described the new I-back that was getting inserted into the game:  &#8221;We have a new I-back entering, he&#8217;s a little smaller in stature than any other I-back&#8221;, from there the video picks up the audio.</p>
<p>It is heart warming to be able to tell a story about a University and a sports team that did things the &#8220;right&#8221; way, and Nebraska accomplished that in their Spring Game.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s to Jack Hoffman, the most loved walk-0n, maybe in the nation.  Keep walking-on, No keep running on and scoring in life and beat that cancer!</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t end this without a&#8230;&#8230;GO BIG RED!!!</p>

<blockquote>
<p id="yui_3_8_1_21_1365090000900_213">Two gay seniors at George Washington University say they feel alienated because the chaplain at George Washington’s Newman Center rejects homosexuality, and they aren’t going to take it anymore.</p>
<p id="yui_3_8_1_21_1365090000900_204">The seniors, Damian Legacy and Blake Bergen, have announced a coordinated campaign to rid the campus of the Roman Catholic priest, reports The GW Hatchet, the school’s independent student newspaper.</p>
<p id="yui_3_8_1_21_1365090000900_211">They also assert that 12 or more students have quit the Newman Center in recent years because they can’t tolerate Father Greg Shaffer’s ardent anti-gay �“ and, for the record, anti-abortion — beliefs.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Hmmm, image that, a Catholic priest who is against the gay lifestyle and against abortion?!  Who would have ever believed that??  Students at colleges and universities across the nation are beginning a Nazi-like cleansing of these institutions of beliefs or ideology other than their own.  They are fine with religion as long as the religion supports their lifestyle.</p>
<p>What makes Fr. Shaffer so hated?</p>
<blockquote><p>Legacy and Bergen say they are primarily upset about the counseling Shaffer offers. They say he urges students who have homosexual feelings to lead a life of celibacy.</p>
<p>Catholic Church doctrine maintains that homosexual desire isn’t a sin, but acting on that desire is,according to the website Catholic.com.</p></blockquote>
<p>So students are trying to banish Fr. Shaffer from GW because he is trying to help all people reach their ultimate goal&#8230;Heaven!  How dare he!  I&#8217;ll bet he gives the same advise to unmarried opposite sex couples.  Doesn&#8217;t Fr. Shaffer realize his views are so out of date?  Doesn&#8217;t God change his definition of sin based on the current culture that dominates a particular area?</p>
<p>It is indeed sad that most young adults are more interested in the pop culture than working hard to maintain an ordered society.  These are the same people who also believe the government is the answer to all problems.</p>
<p>I pray there will be a change of hearts in America.  Right now we are headed in the same direction as Rome, a distant memory of a once great society.  I&#8217;m sure George Washington is turning over in his grave right now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-11154" href="http://www.redstatereport.com/2013/04/university-pro-lifers-same-as-white-supremacists/johns_hopkins_university/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11154" title="Johns_hopkins_university" src="http://www.redstatereport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Johns_hopkins_university-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>If anybody expects colleges or universities to be institutions that foster independent thought and self reliance, you are stuck a couple decades in the past.  Only one method of thought is allowed on college campi now and that is the liberal ideology.  These are bastions that would make Lady Gaga and Madonna feel right at home, but brillant minds from the farm or country would feel alienated.  If you wear rainbow colored clothes your in good, if you wear cowboy boots get used to being attacked.</p>
<p><a href="http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/university-compares-pro-life-students-to-white-supremacists.html">Johns Hopkins University </a>is a great example (although I doubt any students there have ever wore cowboy boots-it&#8217;s a metaphor). </p>
<blockquote><p>The Student Government Association at Johns Hopkins compared pro-life students to white supremacists and denied them official club status at the school.</p>
<p>&#8220;They were denied status because students on the student council felt being pro-life violates their harassment policy.&#8221;</p>
<p>One SGA member said they objected to the pro-life displays at Johns Hopkins, saying she &#8220;felt personally violated, targeted and attacked at a place where we previously felt safe and free to live our lives.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another SGA senator said &#8220;we have the right to protect our students from things that are uncomfortable.  Why should people have to defend their beliefs on the way to class?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m sure the GLBTQ (gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgendered, and questioning) Grad Student Association doesn&#8217;t make students question their deeply held Christian beliefs or make the students feel uncomfortable.  Yes, the GLBTQ grad student association is an actual recognized club at Johns Hopkins.  And we all know the GLBT community is just a peaceful community, who would never want to make anybody feel uncomfortable, just aske the 11 year old and 14 year old girls who&#8217;s <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/03/31/Children-Viciously-Attacked-For-Testifying-Against-Same-Sex-marriage">lives were threatened </a>after they testified against gay marriage.  These people are the kindest people in the world, unless you disagree with them, then they hope you die a painful death with the Bible shoved in your mouth.</p>
<p>This is the same University who&#8217;s students protested the invitation of Dr. Ben Carson to speak at the commencement after Dr. Carson made statements <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/344291/dr-carson-banned-commencement-speech-john-fund">defending traditional marriage</a>.  Dr. Carson stated that nobody should challenge the meaning of traditional marriage, be they gay, NAMBLA or those who prefer bestiality.  Those words have caused a firestorm of response.  Perhaps he could have stated it better, but if marriage is redefined to include gay people then NAMBLA  and the guy with all those sister wives will be in line to get the definition expanded, so Dr. Carson is right even if his words seem harsh.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t know who Dr. Ben Carson is, then you have been living under a rock (just kidding).  He is the man who had the bravery to speak in front of Obama about how bad Obamacare will be and gave a much better alternative.  Here is the video:</p>
<p><a href="
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFb6NU1giRA">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFb6NU1giRA</a></p>
<p></a></p>
<p>Johns Hopkins is just the current University  in the news about these issues, but unfortunately these actions are not limited to Johns Hopkins.  These actions take place on nearly every campus in the U.S. to include many so-called Catholic institutions of higher learning.</p>
<p>If you are a conservative, maybe cowboy boot wearing student, be proud of who you are and don&#8217;t shy away from these narrow-minded liberals.  Follow the lead of Dr. Carson and be proud of your conservative values and do what Dr. Carson is doing, which very few Republicans in D.C. are doing,  LEAD!</p>

<p>All this is to save money, that can be used to fund Obamacare, so why then is Medicare/Medicaid <a href="http://cnsnews.com/news/article/medicaremedicaid-reconsidering-whether-pay-sex-change-surgery">considering covering for sexual </a>re-assignment surgery??  Ok, if I&#8217;m asking liberals to make sense, I have the problem.  Liberalism has no relationship to common sense or reality, I already know that.  They will just continue to spend money on their pet constituents while making the rest of us pay for their parties.</p>
<p>Here is the low down on the Medicare/Medicaid decision:</p>
<blockquote><p>In response to a formal request from a transsexual woman, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced on March 28 that it has launched a formal &#8220;reconsideration&#8221; of its current refusal to cover surgical treatment for &#8220;gender identity disorder.&#8221;</p>
<p>CMS says it will consider all public comments, and it is particularly interested in clinical studies and other scientific information pertaining to transsexual surgery.</p></blockquote>
<p>In case you are wondering, how much surgeries like this <a href="http://www.surgeryencyclopedia.com/Pa-St/Sex-Reassignment-Surgery.html#b">would cost</a> you and me, here are the numbers: For a male to female the cost range is from $7,000 to $24,000.  I&#8217;m sure the cheapest figure is for men like John Boehner who are already missing their testicles.  The figure to go from a female to male with an <a href="http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/">adadiktomy</a> (pronounced: add/a/dick/to/me) surgery, is around $50,000.</p>
<p>The possibility of adding this surgery to an entitlement that is already cash strapped and reducing reimbursements,  makes all the sense in the world, right?</p>
<p>Perhaps the decision makers at Medicare/Medicaid are getting their wisdom from the following preacher, who <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/03/27/Pastor-Jesus-Didnt-Know-Everything">suggests Jesus was wrong </a>about gay marriage.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;If Jesus were alive today, he would be more inclined to say, &#8216;you know, I didn&#8217;t know it all&#8230;&#8217;&#8221; &#8211; Rev. Oliver White, Sean HannityShow, March 27, 2013</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Reverend (If you can say that after the above declaration) White continued to say that he did not believe the definition of marriage that Jesus spelled out in the<a title="PASTOR: JESUS WAS WRONG ABOUT MARRIAGE" href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/03/27/Pastor-Jesus-Didnt-Know-Everything"> Bible is correct</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure God (Jesus is part of the Holy Trinity, therefore he is God) is relieved to know that Rev. White would forgive him for making such a mistake.  It&#8217;s good to have mere mortals around to remind God, he is wrong!  Need I say anymore about Rev. Wright?  I would stay as far away from Rev. Wright as I could, I&#8217;m not fond of getting hit by lightning.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-11109" href="http://www.redstatereport.com/2013/03/government-cuts-military-but-wont-touch-planned-parenthood/us-navy-troops-2/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11109" title="us-navy-troops" src="http://www.redstatereport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/us-navy-troops-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>The sequester cuts are suppose to be played out as extremely painful to the American public, that is unless you want an abortion.  Why would Obama cut out White House tours and cut the military as opposed to cutting the nearly $540 million per year that goes to Planned Parenthood?  I know, the military cost a lot more than that, but the White House tours don&#8217;t!  Some of you feminist might even make the argument that PPP is necessary for all those poor women who can&#8217;t afford pre-natal care.  The problem isn&#8217;t the pre-natal care, it&#8217;s the abortions PPP performs and can not prove it is not using federal tax dollars to fund abortions.</p>
<p>When the government has to cut it&#8217;s largess why does it not look to cut the things that make sense?</p>
<p>To fund PPP goes way beyond the Hyde amendment, PPP abortions have been dangerous<a title="COLORADO LAWSUIT EXPOSES TRUE NATURE OF PLANNED PARENTHOO" href="http://blog.alliancedefendingfreedom.org/2013/03/14/colorado-lawsuit-exposes-true-nature-of-planned-parenthood/"> to some women</a>, not to mention the babies:</p>
<blockquote><p>From Colorado comes yet another horror story illuminating the true nature of Planned Parenthood – the nation’s largest and most politically powerful abortion provider, which actually prides itself on having helped to kill nearly a million babies over the last three years.  While masquerading as a friend of women and a family-planning organization, this billion-dollar international corporation concentrates on meeting its ever-rising quota of abortions, and draws nearly 50 percent of its financial support from your tax dollars.</p>
<p>Forty-year-old Ayanna Byer entered a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs with the intent of having an abortion, but changed her mind when she learned the staff couldn’t provide her with the intravenous anesthesia they had promised her for the pain. Despite her protests, the abortionist went ahead with killing the child inside her, while she lay there, wide awake, hearing everything, and in considerable pain. He then sent Byer home. Two days later, she was in an emergency room, where doctors tried to repair the damage of the botched procedure.</p></blockquote>
<p>Ms. Byer was fortunate, but deaths have occurred from botched abortions.  It hasn&#8217;t come too far from the feared back alley abortions, pro-abortion fans refer to in a foreboding manner. <a title="Planned Parenthood Clinic Where Tonya Reaves Died Tells Women No One Ever Hurt By Abortion" href="http://godfatherpolitics.com/7767/planned-parenthood-clinic-where-tonya-reaves-died-tells-women-no-one-ever-hurt-by-abortion/">Tonya Reaves</a> went to an Planned Parenthood abortion mill in Chicago and came out in a body bag.  There are many stories like these, but how about planned deaths of born alive abortions?</p>
<p>State Senator Barack Obama supported a bill to allow abortionist to finish the job, if a baby was born alive following a botched abortion but fortunately there has been a<a title="Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Has Stopped 11,000 Abortions" href="http://www.lifenews.com/2012/04/19/partial-birth-abortion-ban-has-stopped-11000-abortions/"> ban of even partial-birth abortions</a> since 2007.  This hasn&#8217;t stopped one particular so-called doctor in Philadelphia.  <a title="Abortionist Charged with 7 Counts of First Degree Murder for Aborting Living Babies" href="http://politicaloutcast.com/2013/03/abortionist-charged-with-7-counts-of-first-degree-murder-for-aborting-living-babies/">Dr. Kermit Gosnell was facing charges</a> for using a pair of scissors to cut the spinal cord of late term aborted babies who were still alive.  Here are some of the, I warn you, gory details, as told by nurses for Dr. Gosnell:</p>
<blockquote><p>In July 2008 of a baby labeled ‘Baby Boy A.’ According to the records, the baby was deemed to be 29.4 weeks of development, far surpassing the states 24 week limit for abortion. The 17-year-old mother was given a drug to induce labor and when Baby Boy A was born 13 hours later he was alive and had all the appearance of a healthy baby boy.</p>
<p>“After the baby was expelled, Cross notice that he was breathing though not for long. After about 10 to 20 seconds, while the mother was asleep,<strong> ‘the Doctor just slip the neck (spinal cord),’</strong> said Cross. Gosnell put the boy’s body in a shoebox. Crossett described the baby as so big that his feet and arms hung out over the sides of the container. Cross said that she saw the baby move after his neck was cut, and after the doctor placed it in the shoebox. Gosnell told her, ‘it’s the baby’s reflexes. It’s not really moving.’”</p></blockquote>
<p>Ashley Baldwin, another clinic employee testified in the grand jury report about another baby:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Ashley heard the infant cry. She saw the baby move while it was on the counter. She estimated the infant was at least 12 inches long. When Doctor Gosnell arrived at the clinic, he snipped the neck, and said there is nothing to worry about, and he suctioned it.”</p></blockquote>
<p>This is all to describe the kind of medical care that President Obama has supported and continues to support.  I still question why we are continuing to fund Planned Parenthood, maybe it&#8217;s because they have such caring employees, watch the video below:</p>
<p><a href="
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkynAqt1k10">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkynAqt1k10</a></p>
<p></a></p>
<p>The following video shows Planned Parenthood is in lockstep with Dr. Gosnell.  Again why are we giving PPP our tax dollars?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Honestly this issue deals with more than just DOMA at the Supreme Court.  The supreme court has taken up the issue of Prop 8 from California, which defines a marriage as between one man and one woman.</p>
<p>Both Prop 8 and DOMA are being litigated by gay rights advocates and supported by a few unsuspecting allies.</p>
<p>First, what are my feelings regarding the outcome of these cases in front of the supreme court?  I have already found out my abilities to predict individual justices on this court is severely lacking.  I was completely floored by the betrayal of the Constitution by Chief Justice John Roberts with respect to Obamacare.  I will never assume he has originalist beliefs anymore.  Justice Roberts apparently just wants to be liked in the D.C. area more than he cares about being beholden to the original intent of the Constitution.</p>
<p>If I were to guess, and thus I shall guess: I predict SCOTUS will uphold Prop 8, therefore being true to Federalism (10th amendment) while striking down DOMA.  If this can be done while protecting the states that reject gay marriage, then I will be content with this potential ruling, but DOMA was passed, in part, to protect states that don&#8217;t recognize gay marriage from being sued by states that do allow gay marriage, (i.e. will a gay couple be able to get the state they are married in to sue a state which they live in, but does not allow gay marriage, in order to have their marriage recognized in that state?)  Upholding Prop 8 would seemingly protect the federalism issue, but what of state vs. state?</p>
<p>Who are the unsuspecting allies I alluded to earlier? <a title="O'Reilly: Gay Marriage Critics Just ‘Thump Bible’" href="http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/bill-oreilly-gay-marriage/2013/03/27/id/496571?s=al&amp;promo_code=12F25-1"> Bill O&#8217;Reilly</a>!  Yes, the General in the war against secular progressivism.</p>
<p>On the O&#8217;Reilly Factor, Bill stated;</p>
<blockquote><p>Supporters of gay marriage have offered a &#8220;compelling argument,&#8221; while opponents have done little more than “thump the Bible.”</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9X9tYmllps">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9X9tYmllps</a></p>
<p></a></p>
<blockquote><p>“That&#8217;s where the compelling argument is. We&#8217;re Americans, we just want to be treated like everybody else,” he told his guest, fellow Fox News host Megyn Kelly.</p>
<p>“That is a compelling argument. And to deny that, you&#8217;ve got to have a very strong argument on the other side and <strong>the other side hasn&#8217;t been able to do anything but thump the Bible.”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Bill, you sound like a good little secular progressive.</p>
<p>I have never been a big fan of O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s, mostly because unless it&#8217;s child rape or Christmas (which may change) O&#8217;Reilly hasn&#8217;t got the testicles to fight for conservative issues.  Maybe this issue is showing his true stripes.</p>
<p>If O&#8217;Reilly had been listening to the debate at the Court, he would have found &#8220;the other side&#8221; is making arguments outside the Bible in that the federal government has been defining marriage forever, in tax laws and beyond.  It is not the states that forbid polygamy, it&#8217;s a federal law that forbids that, so therefore arguing the federal government has no business defining marriage would then naturally allow all kinds of marriage.</p>
<p>Not one mention from Scripture was made by the &#8220;other side&#8221; in front of SCOTUS.</p>
<p>Anyway, what is wrong with using the Bible?  It sets forth rules that govern moral successful societies.  Once a society strays from the moral bedrock which it&#8217;s stands on, it falls, just<a href="http://www.roman-colosseum.info/roman-empire/reason-why-the-roman-empire-fell.htm"> look at Rome</a>.</p>
<p>I guess to O&#8217;Reilly, those of us who stick to our guns and our Bibles are hay seed hicks, not worth of his omnipotence.  Well, Bill, you are not worthy enough to lead America against the secular progressives.  You just gave into the &#8220;holy grail&#8221; of secular progressives, from here all other moral issues can be easily toppled.</p>
<p>Hand over the silver stars on your shoulders, Benedict O&#8217;Reilly (Arnold).</p>

<p>Most of the energy for bans has moved to the state level with a few states taking most guns away from their citizens, Colorado being the most egregious with bans on all semi-automatic weapons.  This includes the most popular shotguns used for hunting.</p>
<p>I live in Nebraska and as such I am mostly protected from leftist lunatics like those in Colorado.  Be that as it may, that doesn&#8217;t stop some liberals (of which there are very few, they mostly left for New York and D.C.) in this state from trying a micro-ban.  The mayor of Omaha (a city I fortunately do not live in)  has decided (after 4 years) that there is just too much gun violence in north Omaha.  There are not too many citizens from this state that would disagree with mayor Suttle about this, it is just convenient he only recognizes this problem right before election time.  Mayor Suttle, in a new campaign ad, has decided it&#8217;s time for an &#8220;assault weapons&#8221; ban in the city of Omaha.</p>
<p>Since it is election time, all the candidates for mayor are hitting the air waves giving interviews.  This probably was not a good idea for Jim Suttle as he granted an interview to<a href="http://www.kfab.com/main.html"> KFAB</a>&#8216;s <a href="http://www.kfab.com/pages/ChrisBaker.html">Chris Baker</a>, which will probably be his last on Chris&#8217; show.  Chris Baker was very nice and polite, he just shot multiple holes in the mayors reasoning for his proposed ban.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kfab.com/player/?station=KFAB-AM&amp;program_name=podcast&amp;program_id=ChrisBaker.xml&amp;mid=22975289">Listen to the interview here</a></p>
<p>If you want to skip directly to the mayor, skip to the 7:00 minute mark</p>
<p>The extent of the interview was mayor Suttle insisting that people were tired of the gun violence in north Omaha (which is primarily gang related violence) and he is going to do something about it, by banning guns.</p>
<p>Chris Baker asked the very common sense question:<strong><em> How are you going to get the guns out of the hands of the law breaking gangs?</em></strong> Sure it&#8217;s easy to get the law abiding citizens to give up guns, but I don&#8217;t think the gang members are going to obey this new law.  The mayor tried to skirt the question by insisting Chris was focused on the wrong thing.  Just allow him (Suttle) time to get a ban in place and then they will figure out the enforcement issues later.  Listen to the interview above, you will either laugh out loud at mayor Suttle&#8217;s stupidity or you will want to punch a hole through something.</p>
<p><strong>Right there is the truth!</strong> It doesn&#8217;t matter that liberals will never be able to get guns away from law breakers, they just want the guns out of the hands of good law abiding citizens.  <strong>Mexican drug lords and gang members make no difference to liberals, they just don&#8217;t want you to have a gun.</strong></p>
<p>In the case of mayor Suttle, he will never be able to get a gun ban put in place in Omaha, the city counsel will never allow it.  The proposal is just a simple campaign strategy for a candidate who has nothing good to run on.</p>
