"King" Obama Will Take 500+ Staff +++ Lots of Hardware To UK Visits---$$$$$$$

The article intimates that bho must represent the power of his office and the U.S. ..Or-am I reading into the whole 'larger than life' picture that bho wants to be 'ROYAL'...?!

This little clip shows that he does not believe in his own policy to foist socialized medicine on US citizens as has Britain because -he's bringing his own hospital!:

And should anything befall the President, a White House medical unit will be at hand to provide emergency care. The team consists of surgeons, nurses and other medical personnel and carries supplies of blood of the type AB, the president's blood group.

Our Oath Takers---Even Retired-Will Continue to Protect the Constiution....

Oath Keepers has become one of my very favorite sites...

I am linking a resent post because it gives the actual oath that our military BEST raise their arm and swear to honor...
An excerpt from the link below:

My New Years Resolution:
I have decided to reaffirm the vows in parts 1 and 2 of the oath I took back in 1981, and replace part 3 with: and that I will work to expose the criminal subversive elements within our Government, and do everything possible, within the limits of The United States Constitution, to bring them to Justice on the charge of Treason; and I will take every opportunity possible to educate myself and the Citizens of our great Republic as to our rights and responsibilities as Citizens, as long as I shall live, so help me God.


http://oath-keepers.blogspot.com/2009/03/soldiers-oath.html#comments

I highly recommend that you all go to the main site and read some of the absolutely awesome posts by those -both military and domestic - who have sworn to Protect and the Defend the CONSTITUTION of the United States ....

Brothers at War

In Theaters Now

Brothers at War

BROTHERS AT WAR is an intimate portrait of an American family during a turbulent time. Jake Rademacher sets out to understand the experience, sacrifice, and motivation of his two brothers serving in Iraq. The film follows Jake’s exploits as he risks everything—including his life—to tell his brothers’ story. Often humorous but sometimes downright lethal, BROTHERS AT WAR is a remarkable journey in which Jake embeds with four combat units in Iraq. Unprecedented access to U.S. and Iraqi combat units take him behind the camouflage curtain with secret reconnaissance troops on the Syrian border, into sniper "hide sites" in the Sunni Triangle, through raging machine-gun battles with the Iraqi Army. Ultimately, the film follows his brothers home where separations and life-threatening work ripple through their parents, siblings, wives, and children. BROTHERS AT WAR is a rare look at the bonds and service of our soldiers on the frontlines and the profound effect their service has on the loved ones they leave behind.

GOLD in CA...

One business in Chatsworth , CA is doing very well!
It does take WORK! Most Americans are used to WORK!
Our 'royals' in government are not used to WORK-It's time for that to change (an aside from me)>>

nbclosangeles:

.."for people willing to put in the effort, it's paying off.

"I just wanted a little California gold. That's all I initially started at," said David Perkins, an unemployed aerospace worker from the South Bay. "And, one thing led to another, and within my first year, I actually picked up close to two pounds of gold."

Where's the best place to find gold? In the Mother Lode country just east of Modesto, Calif., experts say.

But prospecting is not easy money. It takes time and a lot of hard work. John Gurney, who came out to California from the East Coast to find gold, was able to pull out about $35,000 worth of gold nuggets over a couple of months. Then there was a dry spell -- and now, John is at it again.

"Some days you sit here and make two cents. Some days you make a couple of hundred dollars. I had one good day and made about $10,000," Gurney said.

This was another one of those good days. Gurney was able to recover several hundred dollars in gold nuggets from the river. And, after running the dirt through a sluice, he took the rest down to the river and sifted out the gold.

"See these two pieces," said Gurney. "They're just sitting right there."

California's second gold rush has also created at least one recession-proof business.

Keene Engineering of Chatsworth, Calif., makes the equipment you need to find gold -- from plastic pans to large commercial rigs. The owners say their business has doubled.

"There are hundreds of people coming in here to buy gold pans and sluice boxes, and take their chances of finding gold in the local hills and mountains," said sales manager Patrick Keene. "There is a whole new flood of prospectors and miners." "

Google Instructions for Privacy-- Photos of YOUR House Can Be Removed From the WW Web TOOO!

Want your house removed from Google-
click and scroll to bottom of article for instructions:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1163778/Youre-Googling-The-Blairs-House-Commons-Google-boss-wont-THEIR-privacy-invaded-Street-View.html

Oh Heck-here are the instructions:

How to get your house removed

To remove your house from Street View, visit the website and click on the words ‘Report a concern’ in the bottom left of the screen. Then click ‘privacy concerns’, followed by ‘my house’ then ‘I have seen a picture of my house and would like it removed’.

A Google spokeswoman said requests for images to be removed were nearly always complied with. ‘All we ask is that the reporting form is filled in correctly.

‘If someone wants their house taken off, we will do what they want but only after we have verified that they are the homeowner.’

The 'royals' -that would be government officials- and Google head- demand their privacy- too bad it wasn't afforded to the children and families of AIG executives....

THIS JUST IN:
Germans are demanding that Google obey privacy :

Germans in the country's northern state of Schleswig-Holstein are threatening to take legal action against Google because of fears that its photographs of the region's towns and streets are in breach of the country's strict privacy laws.

"IT'S JUST A JOKE!"-Why Do Libs Always Use That Phrase?....

Sarah Palin is no longer under the 'gun' of the McCain campaign staff-so she can be herself and tell it like it is!
Thanks National Review for this:


Palin Hits Obama on 'Special Olympics' Joke

Gov. Sarah Palin responded to remarks made last night by President Obama related to the Special Olympics on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno":

“I was shocked to learn of the comment made by President Obama about Special Olympics,” Governor Palin said. “This was a degrading remark about our world’s most precious and unique people, coming from the most powerful position in the world.

“These athletes overcome more challenges, discrimination and adversity than most of us ever will. By the way, these athletes can outperform many of us and we should be proud of them. I hope President Obama’s comments do not reflect how he truly feels about the special needs community.”

Well, after the way his allies went after her, he really couldn't count on a full-throated defense of a boneheaded comment. Obama used the whole "it's just a joke" excuse with his "lipstick on a pig" comment, too.

Chaplain Told to Stop Using the Word GOD!!!

Christians - BE READY-We've been asleep-WAKE UP: C-CS

Signorelli said that she and other chaplains were told Feb. 23 to "cease and desist from using God in prayers."

Signorelli said her supervisor recently singled her out for delivering a spiritual reflection in the chapel that included the word "Lord" and had "a Christian connotation."

"But that was the 23rd Psalm," Signorelli said — not, strictly speaking, Christian, as it appears in the Old Testament.

"And I am well aware that there were people from the Jewish tradition in attendance. I didn't say Jesus or Allah or Jehovah. I used 'Lord' and 'God,' which I think are politically correct. I think that's as generic as you can get."

AAL-Ammunition Accountability Legislation-an Infringement on the SECOND Amendment....

My California friends - we are among the FIRST to have this imposed upon us...
Link below-to sound the alarm:

Ammunition Accountability Legislation
Remember how Obama said that he wasn't going to take your guns? Well, it seems that his allies in the anti-gun world have no problem with taking your ammo!
The bill 20 that is being pushed in 18 states (including Illinois and Indiana ) requires all ammunition to be encoded by the manufacture a data base of all ammunition sales. So they will know how much you buy and what calibers.
Nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009 unless the ammunition is coded.

Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be destroyed by July 1, 2011. (Including hand loaded ammo.)
They will also charge a .....05 cent tax on every round so every box of ammo you buy will go up at least $2.50 or more!
If they can deprive you of ammo they do not need to take your gun!
This legislation is currently pending in 18 states: Alabama , Arizona , California , Connecticut , Hawaii , Illinois , Indiana , Kentucky , Maryland , Mississippi , Missouri , New Jersey , New York , Pennsylvania , Rhode Island , South Carolina , Tennessee , and Washington ...
Send to your friends in these states AND fight to dissolve this BILL!!
To find more about the anti-gun group that is sponsoring this legislation and the specific legislation for each state, go to:

Military Equipment CUTS and CUTS in Medical for Veterans WOUNDED in COMBAT!!!

With the help of a Republican - Gates---
The article from MSM - is- of course -scewed- w/ wording like-generals 'protecting' their 'pet' 'projects'!! :

Two defense officials who were not authorized to speak publicly said Gates will announce up to a half-dozen major weapons cancellations later this month. Candidates include a new Navy destroyer, the Air Force's F-22 fighter jet, and Army ground-combat vehicles, the offi cials said.

More cuts are planned for later this year after a review that could lead to reductions in programs such as aircraft carriers and nuclear arms, the officials said.

As a former CIA director with strong Republican credentials, Gates is prepared to use his credibility to help Obama overcome the expected outcry from conservatives. And after a lifetime in the national security arena, working in eight administrations, the 65-year-old Gates is also ready to counter the defense companies and throngs of retired generals and other lobbyists who are gearing up to protect their pet project

From One of Our Best of the BEST and West Point Grad...

A poem from a hero:

America the beautiful,
or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride;
I'm glad they'll never see.

Babies piled in dumpsters,
Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty;
your house is on the sand.

Our children wander aimlessly
poisoned by cocaine
choosing to indulge their lusts,
when God has said abstain

From sea to shining sea,
our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love
and a need to always pray

We've kept God in our
temples, how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool,
and Heaven is His throne.

We've voted in a government
that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges;
who throw reason out the door,


Too soft to place a killer
in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby
before he leaves the womb.

You think that God's not
angry, that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait
before His judgment comes?

How are we to face our God,
from Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do,
but stem this evil tide?

If we who are His children,
will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face
and mend our evil way:

Then God will hear from Heaven;
and forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land
and those who live within.

But, America the Beautiful,
If you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God
withdraw His hand from Thee.

Groups including the Network of Religious Communities, Western New York Peace Center and the Erie County Coalition Against Family Violence say a statement by the New York president of the National Organization For Women is damaging to women and to Muslims.

“To associate something that’s going to happen to 1,300 women this year in this country with one religion not only does a disservice to her faith, but it also does a disservice to women who suffer abuse at the hands of men of many faiths and no faith,” Mihou says.

A B-24 J Liberator -ball gunner - asks his son to take him to the last B-24 in flying condition-You'll Love This Story...

Thank you - Third Wave Dave!


Be prepared with a tissue - if your eyes do not water- something's wrong with you:

My Father Asks For Nothing


(2006)My father asks me for nothing, really. Every three months or so, I take him to his doctor, who pokes about him wondering what keeps him animated, and that's about it. He's grown frail, and has discovered the joys of "Not Going." It takes a lot to get him to leave the comfort and safety of his house. I was really surprised when he called me on Saturday, because he asked me to take him somewhere.

My father was a ball gunner on a B-24J Liberator bomber in the Pacific during WW2. He rarely spoke about that. My father and his confreres considered themselves part of a thing greater than the sum of their parts in it --or so it seems to me -- and more or less did what was expected of them as a sort of unpleasant chore, kept themselves safe as much as was practicable, amused themselves when possible, and got back to being regular people as soon as they could.

As far as how practicable it was to keep safe hanging below a plane filled with four hundred pound bombs with nothing but the ocean beneath you to bore you and Japanese Zeros shooting at you to keep you interested in the trip, you can draw your own conclusions.

My father said that the last B-24 in flying condition was going to be at a little airshow nearby, and he wanted to go see it. Would I take him?

As I said, my father is very frail. His heart is big but not useful. His mind is sharp but not overused now. It takes quite a bit of effort for him to get down the hall and into a car. And there was nothing I could do to keep him from trying to climb in that plane when we got there.

I didn't try, actually; I just was sort of amazed, and wondered how I could help him. You entered the plane on a rickety jump ladder in the tail, walked through the fuselage filled with wooden ammo boxes and gun emplacemements, climbed around the retracted ball that was his home for forty missions, and then had to walk on a catwalk less than a foot wide between the bomb racks to get to the cockpit. All this for a man who needs a walker.

We went along the side of the plane, creeping along at the pace my father goes, my father assiduously avoiding walking between the fuselage and the props -- a habit sixty years old and more -- and he saw his chance. He ducked down and crept into the bomb bay.

Down came the hands. No one needed to be told who that man was, or why he was there. Everyone behind paused to wait patiently and respectfully, and everyone within reach helped me pick that old, frail, brave man up to look on the nuts and bolts of that totem of his distant life. And they thanked him, and they asked him questions, and marveled at him. A Brigadier General and a sailor and a J.A.G. and Vietnam vets by the handful pressed his hand for the piquant residue of that life that might be on it.

He just looked for one familiar face that he had not brought with him, but there were none.


My father asks for nothing.

Alexis de Tocqueville was the famous 19th century French statesman, historian and social philosopher. He traveled to America in the 1830s to discover the reasons for the incredible success of this new nation. He published his observations in his classic two-volume work, Democracy in America. He was especially impressed by America's religious character. Here are some startling excerpts from Tocqueville's great work:

Upon my arrival in the United States the religious aspect of the country was the first thing that struck my attention; and the longer I stayed there, the more I perceived the great political consequences resulting from this new state of things.

In France I had almost always seen the spirit of religion and the spirit of freedom marching in opposite directions. But in America I found they were intimately united and that they reigned in common over the same country.

Religion in America...must be regarded as the foremost of the political institutions of that country; for if it does not impart a taste for freedom, it facilitates the use of it. Indeed, it is in this same point of view that the inhabitants of the United States themselves look upon religious belief.

I do not know whether all Americans have a sincere faith in their religion -- for who can search the human heart? But I am certain that they hold it to be indispensable to the maintenance of republican institutions. This opinion is not peculiar to a class of citizens or a party, but it belongs to the whole nation and to every rank of society.

In the United States, the sovereign authority is religious...there is no country in the world where the Christian religion retains a greater influence over the souls of men than in America, and there can be no greater proof of its utility and of its conformity to human nature than that its influence is powerfully felt over the most enlightened and free nation of the earth.

In the United States, the influence of religion is not confined to the manners, but it extends to the intelligence of the people.

Christianity, therefore, reigns without obstacle, by universal consent...

I sought for the key to the greatness and genius of America in her harbors...; in her fertile fields and boundless forests; in her rich mines and vast world commerce; in her public school system and institutions of learning. I sought for it in her democratic Congress and in her matchless Constitution.

Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.

The safeguard of morality is religion, and morality is the best security of law as well as the surest pledge of freedom.

The Americans combine the notions of Christianity and of liberty so intimately in their minds, that it is impossible to make them conceive the one without the other

Christianity is the companion of liberty in all its conflicts -- the cradle of its infancy, and the divine source of its claims.

INTERESTINGLY-The fascist organizer-Saul Alinsky (just finished his book _ Rules for radicals_) quotes de Tocqueville but NEVER quoted the above!!! Alinsky did give credit to Lucifer in his book ..And to think that Alinsky in the model for H.Clinton-Ayers-M.Obama-Rev. Wrigtht-L. Farrahkan- AND B, Hussien Obama!!!

SO- this from Christian Soldier--

NO KING BUT KING JESUS--motto of the American Revolution...

"Not until I went into the churches of America...secret of her genius and power." Alexis de Tocqueville

Alexis de Tocqueville was part of my 're-learning' when I found that I had been lied to -by omission and commission by the text - book writers and teachers of my public schools.
I read that the motto of the Revolution was : No King But King Jesus!
When I was informed of the quote below -by Alexis de Tocqueville-it made sense that he would see where the underlying strength of the new nation came from:

I sought for the key to the greatness and genius of America in her harbors...; in her fertile fields and boundless forests; in her rich mines and vast world commerce; in her public school system and institutions of learning. I sought for it in her democratic Congress and in her matchless Constitution.

Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.

The safeguard of morality is religion, and morality is the best security of law as well as the surest pledge of freedom.

Homeschooling-Education-Martin Luther-Thomas Jefferson....VS.--the DARK SIDE...

The efforts of the Dark Side to wrest the education from parents and put into the hands of elitists -starting with the likes of John Dewey and his fellows meeting in a coffee house at the turn of the last century-to the Saul Alinsky-Ayers types has SUCCEEDED--we have lost at least three generations of young people to a LIE!

Martin Luther:
"I am afraid that the schools will prove to be wide gates to hell unless they diligently labour in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them on the hearts of the youth. I advise no one to place their child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Any institution in which men are not constantly occupied with the Word of God must become corrupt." Martin Luther

Thomas Jefferson-while President-was also the Superintendent of the Public Schools in Washington D.C.
Did you know that he demanded that the BIBLE be taught and read aloud? He knew and stated that without it-excellent education was impossible....

Enviromentalists Want to Ban Di-Hydrogen Oxide...

I love it when creativity is used to make a point..for common sense..
Thank you -Midnight Rider at IBA for this:

Benjamin Franklin - On Helping the Poor...

No need to add to this:

I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.”

-Benjamin Franklin, November 1776

Who Are the RACSISTS!-Whites Terrorized at Detroit City Council Meeting....

Thank you Gateway Pundit:

Whites Told to "Go Home" at Detroit City Council Meeting

The whites in the audience at a recent city council meeting were told to "go home" by the racist mob.

Monica Conyers, wife of Rep. John Conyers, with Reverend Al Sharpton and indicted former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick of Detroit.

'Terrorized' is MY wording and not that of Gateway Pundit.....

Question for all;
Where are the Al Sharpton - Farrahkan- Rev. Wright types for the whites?

I do not have a racist bone in my body but- it is obvious that certain others who wish to maintain power- continue to incite victim-hood ...

It is sad
but-it makes me mad (angry)...

Detroit - One of the First Socialist Cities-Homes for a $1.00 ...Socialism.....Welfare-Free Free Free except For Thee ...

I wasn't going to post this because I've posted about Detroit and Socialism before-remember the house for a $1.00 that is one dollar...but couldn't resist this one--
Thank you - Gateway Pundit :

Abandoned home in Detroit. (Flickr)

After years of corrupt liberal politicians and democratic policies it's come to this.
The median price for a home sold in Motor City is $7,500.
The Chicago Tribune and Ritholtz reported:

“It may be tough to get financing for a new car these days, but in Detroit you can buy a house with a credit card.

The median price of a home sold in Detroit in December was $7,500, according to Realcomp, a listing service.

Not $75,000. Remove a zero—it’s seven thousand five hundred dollars, substantially less than the lowest-price car on the new-car market.

Among the many dispiriting numbers that bleakly depict the decrepitude of this onetime industrial behemoth, the steep slide of housing values helps define the daunting challenge to anyone who wants to lead this shrinking, poverty-pocked city of about 800,000 people.
In August there were 182 Detroit Properties for sale for less than $1,000 on a Realtor.com search.

My father - a very hard worker- was angry that he had to support people ex.-women w/o husbands - having babies and going on WELFARE-
There are now many groups (community organizers) who 'help' w/ welfare-
free education for immigrants
free housing for non-workers...

free---free---FREE---
but not for THEE or ME!!!!
