Common Misconceptions

Conflict and Conciliation: Faith and Politics in an Age of Global Dissonance
Despite the peaceful foundations of global monotheistic religions, the broad diversity of interpretations can lead to a sharp paradox regarding the use of force. Inevitably, we must ask ourselves: How can those who ascribe to peaceful beliefs suspend their own moral foundation to beat the drums of war? ... read more

My cousin recommended this blog and she was totally right keep up the fantastic work!
Protest music seemed to be making a bit of a comeback during the dark era of King George the W but has since sputtered off. Nice to see people trying to keep it alive ...
Ironic - I couldn't think of a single example yesterday of forcing Americans to purchase coverage and then this came through today. It's a good point and would make a legal challenge to the HCR all the more interesting ...
Acclaimed Singer-Songwriter Nona Hendryx has stood up to Limbaugh on her new project
"The Ballad of Rush Limbaugh", to raise money for Haiti Relief.
Nona was outraged at Rush Limbaugh’s recent insensitive and hateful remarks after the catastrophe in Haiti. With a long history of writing edgy, provocative and often political leaning songs she decided to strike back. “I’ve been so pissed off with Rush Limbaugh (for a long time) and his insensitive, racist commentary,” she says. “The final straw was his ill chosen or mean/hateful comments about American relief efforts for Haiti. So instead of just fuming and ranting myself, I wrote a song.”
Felicia Collins, the guitarist for David Letterman’s house band, joins Hendryx on guitar.
The result is “The Ballad of Rush Limbaugh”.

Hi Patricia,
Apologies to you for this - I'm normally quite good (in fact, since I use WLW for my blogging, the source/attribution links are supposed to be automatically inserted). I've just reopened the blog after finishing my thesis, so I suppose the kinks have yet to be worked out. Thanks for the reporting and I have updated the post accordingly.
best,
Jay

why don't we hear about the following?
This is very important, please take the time to read it.
This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. About a year ago I would have voted for Obama. I have changed my mind three times since than. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with. About six months ago, I started thinking 'where did the money come from for Obama'. I have four daughters who went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans.
I started looking into Obama's life.
Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California. He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. 'Barry' (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan. During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a 'round the world' trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia, next Hyderabad in India, three weeks in Karachi, Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family. My question -
Where did he get the money for this trip?
Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York. It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia? It's not cheap! to say the least.
Where did he get money for tuition?
Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. a year. Why Chicago? Why not New York? He was already living in New York.
By 'chance' he met Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria, and a real estate developer in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association'. About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School. Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School?
Where did he get the money for Law School?
More student loans? After Law school, he went back to Chicago. Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented 'Rezar' which Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago. In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with 'seed money' for his U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans -
Where did he get the money for the property?
On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.
Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy?
On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was 'sacked' after the press found out he was having regular contacts with 'Hamas', which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran. This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will 'Take care of things'.
Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan? They are in charge of all those 'small' Internet campaign contribution for Obama.
Where is that money coming from?
The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East?
And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on 'This Week' with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, 'My Muslim faith'. When questioned, 'he made a mistake'. Some mistake!
All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008.
Now the BIG question - If I was able to find out all this information on my own,
Why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting this?
A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - 'Beware of the enemy from within'!!!
C'mon... he was a man of peace... pieces of this, pieces of that... whatever he could make a buck off of...
She's magnificent! Mom & Dad did an outstanding job!

Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition; but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express. --Joseph Addison
Not a day goes by that I'm not grateful for my daughter.

Truth is in reality probably not..................
No whoever our White Houdr hired to back anything up is probably not "Right for the job". Either way as American's we all need to fully understand this....Our government takes our votes, then does what they want!!! That is the one real truth here in the U.S.
Everyone here hate Micheal Moore for pointing out things we already see but wont admitt to!
Yet here we are calling him a liar, a commie, and the list goes on...Yet when you look into what he says all the facts point to the one real fact he is simply trying to enlighten by use of fact......
In the end what it all comes down to is this... American citizens need to feel as though they are on top. even when it comes to selling fruit on the highways! They may buy some tainted fruit, but in the end they know that in this economy, they may be that mexican...
Can anyone our government hires for protection all the way down to condom disposal be trusted? Nope...it all comes dopwn to how popular are you..Much like Miss America!! He said "whoooooooooo" and seemed happy so lets not vote for the crazy person...Yet here we are a lady as president, or a black dude...
In the end we were forced to choose too soon or not! Here we are...Other candidates sre even more real than the dolls that are popular, yet we allow the media to tell us who the real choices are!
Hillary stuck with a man that got a blow job! Obama has an anti gay preacher in his archive! Who wins?
The person that has a nice smile sadly the truth wont set America free! Both are jokes! But one will win...Much like when America voted for a chimp and "Won"..................We got Bushy!
in the real end.......Its a popularity contest not a legitimate vote....
We vote for the person that looks ok on the telivision and pretend I am lying I dare you!!!!!!!!!!!
