Flashback: Candidate Obama Promises Not to Use Presidential Signage Statements

Because he's a well known liar.
===================================
"You see, when George W. Bush used signage statements, he was trying to accumulate power in the presidency, contra the US Constitution. Not so for Obama, though it’s unclear exactly why he would break such a definitive promise."

EPA Admits Jobs Don't Matter

According to an April 15, 2010 article written by Christopher Neefus of CNSNews:

“Americans now spend billions of hours each year doing their taxes, or pay someone else to help them. But the first 1040 federal income tax form from 1913, including the instructions, was only four pages long (the instructions covered only one page)…

“Today, the instructions for the basic 1040 tax form total 101 pages, and there are 76 lines that taxpayers must fill-in with information.”

================================================================
"The Environmental Protection Agency, which boasts 18,000 full-time employees, a $10 billion budget, and has the power to impose economy-crippling regulations on the American way of life, has admitted a dangerous truth: to them, jobs just don't matter."

Ron Paul sells his Texas house through Facebook

"Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men’s protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize gold and leave to its owners a counterfeit pile of paper. This kills all objective standards and delivers men into the arbitrary power of an arbitrary setter of values. Gold was an objective value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it. Paper is a check drawn by legal looters upon an account which is not theirs: upon the virtue of the victims. Watch for the day when it bounces, marked, ‘Account overdrawn.' "

Confederate Soldiers are American Veterans by Act of Congress

We Honor Our Fallen Ancestors

April is Confederate Memorial Month where various commemorations held throughout the month, primarily in the South. In the other states I would venture to say that most have never even heard of it, a combination performance of historical revisionism, political correctness, and amnesia. But I am happy to report that we are seeing more events being held each year,and better attended.

The anti-Confederate smear campaign is becoming recognized for what it always was, a political campaign to denigrate Southern heritage. The ignorance of this was on the scale of your left arm not liking your right arm and then beginning a process of eventual amputation. But this would include a period of cigarette burning and razor slashing to get the process rolling.

The country is thankfully waking up from this silliness. Veterans Today has made an editorial decision to dig into more of these suppressed historical events, especially those involving veterans. It will keep us busy for the rest of our lives.

I have begun working on my main Confederate Memorial piece for VT focusing in on some of the archival gems and bombshells that most Americans know little or nothing about our War Between the States, or War of Southern Independence as

Tips on What To Say if You're Carrying Concealed

N.C. lawmakers take up Planned Parenthood fight

A week after funding for Planned Parenthood was a key sticking point in the congressional negotiations to avoid a federal government shutdown, Republican leaders in North Carolina are seeking to bar the state from granting any money to the organization.

The women's health provider gets $473,000 through state safety net programs aimed at preventing teen pregnancies and providing birth control to low-income women. Some of the money is also used to combat sexually transmitted diseases and to support classes in parenting skills for young mothers.

But Planned Parenthood also uses private resources to provide abortions, which has made it a frequent target for many on the right.

A one-sentence provision added to the draft GOP budget this week does not cut the money that goes to Planned Parenthood. It specifically bars the state from making any grants or entering into any contracts of any kind with that one organization.

Rep. Nelson Dollar, chairman of the House appropriation subcommittee for Health and Human Services, denied the provision has anything to do with the controversy over abortion.

"People are free to conjecture as they will," said Dollar, a Cary Republican. "There are a whole host of programs being reduced. Planned Parenthood is not unique."

The Muslim Brotherhood in America Sharia and the Doctrine of Islamic Supremacism

Part 6 of 6

Mike Scruggs

Of the 114 chapters of the Koran, all but one begin with the words: “In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.” This and the transfixing rhythm of its words can mislead people whose knowledge of Biblical doctrines is shallow into believing that Islam is a religion like Christianity or Judaism. This is particularly true of the most recent generation of public school graduates who have been thoroughly indoctrinated on the benefits of multiculturalism, tolerance and diversity. They generally assume, as has often been proclaimed by the last three American presidents, that Islam is a “religion of peace and tolerance.” Were they better students of history and religion, however, they might at least be curious about why Methodist founder John Wesley wrote these words in 1841:

“Ever since the religion of Islam appeared in the world, the espousers of it…have been as wolves, and tigers to all other nations, rending and tearing all that fell into their merciless paws, and grinding them with their iron teeth…Such was, and is at this day, the rage, the fury, the revenge, of the destroyers of human kind.”

They might also consider the words of Winston Churchill:

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy…Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities…But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.”

Sharia is the body of Islamic Law covering every aspect of the Muslim life—civil law, criminal law, religious, social, and moral law. Sharia is derived directly and solely from the Koran and the teachings of Muhammad. Muslims believe that the Koran always existed and was given by Allah to Muhammad over several years through the Angel Gabriel. The Koran is thus the immutable will of Allah. Muslim scholars reached a consensus on Sharia interpretation by the 9^th century. The Koran and al-Sharia are thus considered immutable and absolutely authoritative. There is an important lesson for the West to be derived from this. Although one can find many “moderate” Muslims, there is no moderate Islam. Moderate Muslims are essentially secularized Muslims who still identify with Islamic culture. As author Serge Trifkovic has stated:

“Moderate Islam is like the unicorn. We can visualize a unicorn, but we cannot find one.”

Last week we concentrated on some of the doctrines of Islam: Jihad (holy war against non-Muslims), Teqiyya (deception to advance Islam), the Rule of Abrogation in interpreting the Koran (chronologically later verses cancel conflicting earlier verses), and the doctrine of Islamic Supremacism. Islamic Supremacism is based on numerous passages in the Koran proclaiming Islam to be superior to all other religions and ordained by Allah to conquer and dominate them. As we learned from studying the Muslim Brotherhood, stealth Jihad is their strategy until they are able to conquer or gain political control.

As Omar Ahmad, Chairman of the Board of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR, a Muslim Brotherhood front organization) said in 1998:

“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”

Three verses of the Koran are frequent justifications for Islamic Supremacism:

3: 110 “You are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind.”

98: 6 Non-Muslims are “the most vile of created beings”

48: 29 “Be merciful to one another, but ruthless to the unbelievers.”

The “Shahada,” the first of five Pillars of Islam, states: “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his Prophet,” This is undoubtedly the most frequently heard statement of faith in Islam and in its context clearly reinforces the Sharia doctrine of Islamic Supremacism.

There are many other Sharia doctrines that are not compatible with Western civilization. Apostasy, which is defined as leaving the Muslim faith or uttering a statement of unbelief or criticism of Allah, is punishable by death. This includes conversion to Christianity or other religions. Muslim jurists sometimes issue a “fatwah” calling for execution of an apostate, wherever found, by any Muslim. Many clerics believe that non-Muslim “islamophobia” is blasphemy and deserves an execution fatwah.

Islam is not compatible with democracy or constitutional government. Any system of man-made or non-Koranic law is considered illicit under Sharia. Koran verse 5:47 states, “And if any fail to judge by the light of what Allah has revealed, they are no better than unbelievers.”

In Sharia law the testimony of a woman is only worth half that of a man. Daughters receive only half the inheritance of sons. Muslim men may have four wives and unlimited concubines, but women have few rights in marriage or divorce. Women must not travel outside the home without a male guardian. A Muslim woman must have four male witnesses to make the claim of rape! If she fails, it is equivalent to admitting adultery, which could mean imprisonment or death by stoning. Homosexuality also requires the death penalty. Sharia permits marriage contracts with very young girls. Such marriages may be consummated when the girl is eight or nine

Muslim parents may murder children and grandchildren for violations of Sharia Law. These “honor killings” are sometimes executed by brothers and sisters.

The Koran and teachings of Muhammad are filled with hatred and suggested violence for Jews and Christians. Sharia stipulates mandatory amputations, crucifixion, flogging, and stoning for many crimes. Sharia is taught in 80 percent of U.S. mosques.

American Muslims are crying about religious intolerance toward Muslims, but the plain truth is that the Sharia doctrine of Islamic Supremacism leaves no room for tolerance of non-Muslims in Islam.

Lies About the U.S. Civil War (sic) 150 Years Later

"To seriously justify a war........would require showing that anything it accomplished could not have been accomplished without all the killing, wounding, traumatizing, and destroying."
