American Life - First thoughts about

GONNA TRY AND TAKE THIS MOMENT TO SHARE WITH YOU THE THINGS THAT WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT: The revelations by former Essence Magazine editor Constance White both intrigued and concerned me. Not to say that I was surprised, but I admittedly long for the days when Susan Taylor stood at the helm of the magazine, and Essence represented something black, extraordinary and authentic. There was a time when we fully understood that the power of media wasn't just for making money, it was also for shaping minds. In fact, [Adolf] Hitler once said that if you want to control a group of people, all you have to do is control what they read, watch and hear. For much of my life, when I thought about Essence Magazine, I thought about black women. Now, when I think about Essence, I think about what white people want black women to become. The mind can be under occupation in the same way that one colonizes a foreign country, and in the space of African American media, it's difficult to argue that we're not a conquered an ...

Where do you locate yourself on the political spectrum? Are you liberal or conservative? On “the left”, “the right”, or perhaps you’re a bit of both (“moderate”). It is no secret that American mass culture often blunts the capacity for civic engagement and political awareness. Yet those who pursue a...

Clifford Joseph Harris, Jr. (born September 25, 1980), better known by his stage name T.I. or T.I.P., is an American recording artist, producer and actor. He is the founder and co-chief executive officer (CEO) of Grand Hustle Records. Life and career Early life and career beginnings T.I. was born Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. on September 25, 1980, in Bankhead, Atlanta, Georgia. Raised by his grandparents, he began rapping at age seven. As a teenager, he was an drug dealer. He was at one time known as Rubber Band Man, a reference to the custom of wearing rubber bands around the wrist to denote wealth in terms of drugs or money. By age 14, he had been arrested several times. He was nicknamed "Tip" after his paternal great-grandfather. Kawan "KP" Prather, a record executive, discovered and signed T.I. when he was a teenager. Upon signing with Arista Records subsidiary LaFace Records in 2001, he shortened his name to T.I. out of respect for label mate Q-Tip. In 2009, T.I. appeared as himself on an episode of ...

ALL UTAH RESIDENTS! Dozens of animal shelters throughout Utah still use carbon monoxide gas poisoning to kill homeless and unwanted animals. Legislation that would restrict this archaic method of killing has been introduced in the Utah Senate and desperately needs your support in order to pass. House Bill (H.B.) 150, Animal Shelter Amendments, would prohibit, with certain exceptions, animal shelters in the state from using carbon monoxide gas to kill animals when illness, injury, disease, aggression, or homelessness necessitates euthanasia as an act of mercy. If it becomes law, all animal shelters in Utah will be required to use only humanely administered injections of sodium pentobarbital to euthanize ill, injured, and hopelessly homeless animals, except in limited situations. PETA opposes the use of gas chambers in animal shelters under any circumstances, but this bill is a step in the right direction and could make a difference if passed. Please ask your state senator to support this vital piece of leg ...

SHARE this with ALL you know.WASHINGTON POST HITS OBAMA! Finally, the Washington Post speaks out on Obama! This is very brutal, timely though. As I'm sure you know, the Washington Post newspaper has a reputation for being extremely liberal. So the fact that its editor saw fit to print the following article about Obama in its newspaper makes this a truly amazing event and a news story in and of itself. At last, the truth about our President and his obvious socialist agenda are starting to trickle through the protective wall built around him by our liberal media. I too have become disillusioned. A brilliant commentary out of none other than the Washington Post. 18 Jan 2013 By Matt Patterson (columnist - Washington Post, New York Post, San Francisco Examiner) Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, the result of a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so ...

△▵ How an American Lady Found Islam ▿▽ « Finally I Got My Questions Answered ! » My name is Kawkab, and I’m a convert to Islam for almost 24 years now. Before I was Muslim, I was baptized Greek Orthodox, and I went to a Catholic high school, so I had a lot of different religious backgrounds. I studied different religions. I searched for about seven years. I had a book of questions, and then when I met the Muslims and I started asking my questions, everything just started to make sense and for the first time I got my questions answered Who is God? What am I doing here? What’s the purpose of life? You know, things that were out there but nobody wanted to answer or said were mysteries. They couldn’t explain things to me in a way that made sense. Catholic priests had talked to me about things, other pastors and people, nothing made sense. And their attitude, the way they dealt with me was not the same as that of the Muslims. It was remarkably different. So for me, it wasn’t just learning abo ...

Jim Limber, also known as Jim Limber Davis, was a mulatto boy who was briefly a ward of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America. He was under the care of the Davis family from February 1864 to May 1865. His real name may have been James Henry Brooks.[1] On February 14, 1864, Varina Howell Davis, wife of Jefferson Davis, was returning home in Richmond, Virginia, when she saw a black boy being beaten by a black man. Outraged, she immediately put an end to the beating and had the boy come with her in her carriage. He was cared for by Mrs. Davis and her staff. They gave him clothes belonging to the Davises' son, Joe, since the boys were of similar age. When asked his name, he just said "Jim Limber."[2] Davis arranged for Jim to be freed from slavery. It is unknown if Davis actually adopted him. There was no adoption law in Virginia at that time, so any adoption would be an "extralegal" affair.[3] Jim was with the Davises when they were forced to abandon Richmond before the Union Army c ...

Today is my new Fathers day and a day I will mark on my calender forever. My popps is one of the most amazing men out here. A real All- American, who takes care of his family, a successful entrepreneur and business owner all thanks to his hard work, faith, and dedication. A real handyman who inspects every aspect of your home to insure safety before making your home purchase/sale. A guy who can rebuild engines, reconstruct party buses, fix up anything to do with a home, build massive floats for parades, build a tree-house (that is more like a house in a tree), and so much more. He practices religion and does what he can to be the best Christian he can. He practices healthy eating habits and teaches everyone around him great life lessons.

The Truth About Yoga By: Justin Park The myriad benefits attributed to yoga-weight-loss, heart disease protection, freedom from depression-are enough to get anyone on the mat, but do they hold up to modern scientific investigation? New York Times science writer and long-time yogi William J. Broad decided to find out. For his latest book, The Science of Yoga, Broad took a deep dive into the research to reveal which promises the ancient tradition can-and can't-deliver on. "Yoga makes you feel good-every practitioner knows that. But the science is catching up to explain why," he says. Here's the real deal on seven big claims yoga makes: Claim 1: Yoga Makes You Feel Good True. One of the major reasons for yoga's popularity-and perhaps why devotees are reluctant to critically *** the practice-is that yoga just makes people feel good. Recent research is able to put that feeling in more technical terms. In 2005 a pair of comprehensive reviews of the research on yoga's effects on anxiety and depression found t .. ...

What is Apartheid? Apartheid means “apart-ness” in Afrikaans, the language of white Dutch colonial settlers in South Africa,. Doctrines: White people are racially superior to blacks and other people. Blacks and other races should not challenge or compete with white South Africans for control over the country’s land, resources, economy and political power. After 1948 this doctrine was formalized by the Nationalist Party into a comprehensive system of laws and practices governing every aspect of black people’s life (control) and to ensure a total separation (apart-ness) between blacks and whites of SA. Unlike apart-ness, togetherness will foster living together in mixed cities and economic competition by the races thus exposing the false premise of white racial superiority giving rise to demands for political representation. In summary, the motives shaping apart-ness is to preserve white economic and political power through laws justified by racial prejudices. Under pressure from the international c ...

Spiritual Discernment Spiritual discernment is the ability to see life from God's perspective, it requires that we know how He thinks and acts. (Ref. Heb.4:12-13) "12. For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, andable to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do." (Heb. 4:12-13) New American Standard Bible. (NASB) King David viewed the world from a God-centered perspective. He marveled at the Lord's creative power in the world, relied on Him for protection and strength, and proclaimed allegiance in his writings. He also prayed fervently and frequently, lifting requests in the morning and expectantly awaiting a response (Ps. 5:3). At night he'd continue communing with God (Ps. 63:6) (NASB) In our circumstances, we can see God's actions only from the .. ...

Dear Tolfe Lee, The most dangerous phase in the fight to defeat the gun grabbers’ all-out assault on our Second Amendment freedoms is upon us. I’m talking about the gun grabbers’ “Plan B” alternative – a triple threat designed to sound more “reasonable” to the public than a total gun ban. But don’t be fooled, there’s nothing reasonable about this new scheme. It’s every bit as destructive to our gun rights as everything else the gun grabbers put forth. After I explain why this “Plan B” triple threat is so dangerous, I need you to take IMMEDIATE action by signing your “No Gun Deals” petition. If you’ve already signed your petition, please consider chipping in $10 or $20 to help alert more Americans to the gun grabbers’ “Plan B” triple threat. Then, I need you to forward this email to every pro-gun person you know and ask them to help fight back by signing their “No Gun Deals” petition, as well. The "Plan B" alternative has three components: Fictitious “gun traffic ...

I received this e-mail from a friend the other day, everyone needs to read this if you never read anything else, it will open your eyes if it don't give you a heart attack. “I am a witness to history. “I cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history. If you remember the plot of the Sound of Music, the Von Trapp family escaped over the Alps rather than submit to the Nazis. Kitty wasn’t so lucky. Her family chose to stay in her native Austria. She was 10 years old, but bright and aware. And she was watching. “We elected him by a landslide – 98 percent of the vote,” she recalls. She wasn’t old enough to vote in 1938 – approaching her 11th birthday. But she remembers. “Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force.” No so. Hitler is welcomed to Austria “In 1938, Austria was in deep Depression. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unemployed. We had 25 percent inflation and 25 percent bank loan interest rates. F ...

Thanx Sue for this... “We need,” said American author, Henry Beston, “another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals... We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err... They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves within the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.”

Anyone who has had a conversation with me that's last more than a minute knows I am a huge fan of This American Life. Last week's episode of the podcast was about coincidences. I've always been aware of many things in life that are random, yet perhaps fated. But this week's podcast was about reruns, mostly of television. The first act was about a documentary that starts out with a guy taking pictures out on a street and a camera man happens upon him and decides to film him for a while. The kid then goes on to perform in drag with a long blonde wig for a talent show. So, I'm listening to this on my ipod and taking bob for a walk. We go down stark and I glance down a sidestreet and a guy is taking pictures in the street. Maybe he's just a realtor getting ready to post a listing. Walk another block and a bunch of stuff is thrown out by the garbage can on the front yard...including a long blonde wig. It's Portland, there's probably wigs all over this town. Start to head home and the podcast wraps up with a gr ...

Team “Ray’s” of Hope Well it is that time of year again! We will be raising money for the American Cancer Society by walking in the Relay for Life walk on April 19th.

So please make an effort to attend on one for both nights, Tuesday March 13th and Thursday April 2nd 4:00 pm to Closing. Thank you. Susan Huff

“Consider how textbooks treat Native religions as a unitary whole. The American Way describes Native American religion in these words: “These Native Americans [in the Southeast] believed that nature was filled with spirits. Each form of life, such as plants and animals, had a spirit. Earth and air held spirits too. People were never alone. They shared their lives with the spirits of nature.” Way is trying to show respect for Native American religion, but it doesn’t work. Stated flatly like this, the beliefs seem like make-believe, not the sophisticated theology of a higher civilization. Let us try a similarly succinct summary of the beliefs of many Christians today: “These Americans believed that one great male god ruled the world. Sometimes they divided him into three parts, which they called father, son, and holy ghost. They ate *** and wine or grape juice, believing that they were eating the son’s body and drinking his blood. If they believed strongly enough, they would live on forever ...

Ya know what really cool? With 5 minutes of basic instructional anyone can play a Wispa Native American Flute. I tested this out on my mom when she visited a few months back. She turned 80 the other day. At 79 she was playing the beautiful scale within 5 minutes. Is that cool or what? First instrument she ever played in her entire life. 5 minutes! lol !

Man, as a guy who voted for Obama. I'm so glad you Republican's waited till now to post your anti Obama propaganda. Cause had you posted these well thought and brillant blogs he would've surely lost the election. But wait, y'all did post and rant prior to the election. And Obama still whipped Romneys yuppie punk *** BAD. But how did this happen. Are you all so smart that it was just over everyones head. Nooo, I looked not one of you is a member of the mensa society. No ivy league collage graduates. None of you have cured a disease, no one has come up with a better way to get to the moon, or invented a better mouse trap, or created a widget. Hmmm what happened? Could the answer be simpler. Such as maybe your a bunch of whiney *** pansies who didn't get there way. Or brain washed drones listening to to much talk radio. I am a student of and for life. So if you can give me guidance I do appreciate that. That being said there are 3 R's that I do pay some attention to. And that's because they seem to have achi ...

Branches of the "Commandment Keepers" exist in many American cities such as Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Cincinnati, Chicago, Ohio, Virginia, and New Jersey. In 1965, the "House of Judah" was founded by William Lewis in Wetumpka, Alabama. The group later purchased a twenty-acre tract near Grand Junction, Michigan where they practice a communal life-style. Black Hebrews feel that by reclaiming their Israelite identity they have also recovered an important part of their ancestral heritage. They hold to the conviction that their "Hebrewness" is directly traceable to their African forebears of Israelite extraction who were brought to this country during slavery. They are cognizant and proud of their non-Hebrew African heritages but like many other people with mixed backgrounds they opt to give certain of their forebears a more pronounced place in their identity. Black Israelite groups in America are decentralized and varied in ideology.Unlike white Orthodox Jews, Black Hebrews reject the Talmud, a ...

I am American. I hold no romantic illusions of any other homeland. This is my homeland. I rejoice only in the stories of my American ancestors and heroes. I hold their commitment and vision in my heart. I have no other culture, American is my culture. I hunt, I fish, I give God his glory. I have a healthy distrust of government figures there for I am armed. I will give my life for my nation, for my culture. Patriotism that has been passed down to me and courses through my veins. it can not be stopped by a stoke of a pen.

Real MOM Question: What do you think is causing the rise in true food allergies (not intolerances) in children today? I suspect many things like GMO the way our foods are processed today, vaccines, some maybe genetic. It's frustrating not knowing especially with no one in the family with food allergies. Just like thoughts from others who deal with this on a daily basis.

Women Diabetes can be especially *** women. The burden of diabetes on women is unique because the disease can affect both mothers and their unborn children. Diabetes can cause difficulties during pregnancy such as a miscarriage or a baby born with birth defects. Women with diabetes are also more likely to have a heart attack, and at a younger age, than women without diabetes. For women who do not currently have diabetes, pregnancy brings the risk of gestational diabetes. Based on recently announced diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes, it is estimated that gestational diabetes develops in 18 percent of all pregnancies but disappears when a pregnancy is over. Women who have had gestational diabetes or have given birth to a baby weighting more than 9 pounds are at an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes later in life. The American Diabetes Association supports the "Gestational Diabets Act of 2011" which seeks to reduce the incidence of gestational diabetes (GDM) and prevent women afflic ...

I know this is a long read but stay with me for a minute, please Here is what has me all twisted. as some of you know I have considered myself Agnostic for most of my life. I am not a sky is falling kind of person. I believe that *** near anything is possible but not always likely. Since I started the Government is taking your rights a little at a time page, I have been educating myself with the current politics and events around the world. before a few months ago I pretty much didn't care, the government is corrupt and whats going to happen is going to happen and there wasnt much I could do about it. Well when they started talking about gun control I perked up.. I own guns and believe it is our right to own guns as American as the Constitution states. I realized how little I really knew or understood the politics that go on and started self educating myself. I read more in the last few months than I have probably read my entire life. During the course of this education I started actually seeing how peop ...

Apparently, society wants to be even more invasive in the lives of clergy families since we are now getting two new reality shows - the Sisterhood and Pastor's Daughters. For the record, these record "normal" pastoral families as well as Honey Boo-Boo portrays my life as an obese American.

Sometimes in life I have to wonder if the government will ever decide that what is best for America supersedes the typical party line. When will both sides realize that paying off the debt and balancing the federal budget is in the best interest of the American People? As long as the government keeps handing out money to people who don't want to make strides to improve themselves, we as Americans will keep going down this road to be more and more like Greece. It really makes me mad when I think of all the people who are on Welfare and Food Stamps that make more money that hard working individuals that are trying to improve themselves and make the world a better place to live. We are heading down the wrong path to a "what can I get for doing nothing society" and away from being self reliant. It make me even more frustrated to think about people who aren't willing to do their part to make America better. Also, why is it that the people defending the country end up taking the brunt of the budget cuts? ...

It's really sad that our government continues to limit/ harm our military. They cut their pay, take away jobs, now take away their school. All these things the government promised they would uphold if these brave men and women put their lives on the line. They still ask them to fight in wars that we have no business in anymore. Yet continue to spit in their faces. Its about time our government leaves our military alone and start treating them with the respect they deserve. They do keep your *** safe, so be thankful! It's about time people stop thinking about themselves and about the bigger picture. Our country is being ruined.and its not going to be pretty or the home of the free if we continue to stand by and allow this to happen!!!

Remember: not all who work in the industry, but ALL WHO ARE UPFRONT and HAVE A VOICE, entertainment industry or political, ARE SET FORTH BY THE ESTABLISHMENT... Those of us who go AGAINST this NEW WORLD ORDER are pushed aside and shut up. That's why US GOVERNMENT, even if here legally, even if I had no authrization to go back to Iran, even if my husband was 3rd generation AMERICAN, prevented me having a green-card to work in the entertainment industry.

If you work in the corporate world, here is your pyramid: your chances of getting to the top are slim to none. You exchange your life for the corporation that signs your paycheck and controls everything you do. You have to be where the company wants you to go if you want to climb up the pyramid. They don't care if you have to uproot your family and they don't care if it hurts your kids. You are trapped in the corporate American pyramid. In my pyramid, there is no trap, there is no limit on how successful I can become, based on my goals and hard work. I can live anywhere I want and go as high as I want. There are no glass ceilings in my pyramid. There is no age, race or sex discrimination.

What a disgrace to Mrs. Nancy Reagan! Boycott this movie! America , we must not forget! JANE FONDA NANCY REAGAN This cannot go around too much. Those of us that were living in those years will never forget that she was a traitor and did a lot of damage to our boys. She has now been chosen to play Nancy Reagan in her life story. I am sending this one out because so many do not know this truth... and also because she was on 3 times this week talking about her new book... And how good she feels in her 70's... she still does not know what she did wrong..her book just may not make the best list if more people knew... also... Barbara Walters said: Thank you all. Many died in Vietnam for our freedoms. I did not like Jane Fonda then and I don't like her now. She can lead her present life the way she wants and perhaps SHE can forget the past, but we DO NOT have to stand by without comment and see her "honored" as a "Woman of the Century."

f we don't find intelligent life in the galaxy, humanity will create it. We might contrive new entities through artificial intelligence. It could happen the American way - by encouraging more and more of us to diversify in new directions, with new interests and passions and quirky viewpoints. And of course, diversity spreads whenever we add new intelligent life forms called our children. Then there is the idea of creating other kinds of beings to talk to through some change in the animal species that already exist around us.

WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM. Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950's for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms.

Here is a our separation agreement: --Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult p ...

I am tired of the constant harsh and vile beliefs in this state of Georgia by pests who consider them selves rational to a cause in effecting individuals from gaining their education and goals in life: weather paying a bill or heading to work, I am a witness to having these evil bashes take place upon me as a victim in the state of being a threat to these individuals as some goal or trophy in appearances as follows: A graduate with so certifications (Job Corps) A graduate with so grade "counts" (Georgia Perimeter College) A women who is married and faire in her promise to mate(Faithful) An Arab, who is a legal and lawful citizen in Georgia (DeKalb Police and Officials) A family member who is good enough (Mom and Brothers) and A sick person who is not and never has been "Mental" by any illness as birthed to "Grady Memorial Hospital" ("Behave Heath" in Georgia Systems and so on. I am under the influence and the interpretation that there is a flaw in the legal system as has been displayed in local news to f ...

There has to be more. More to us then we currently are. I refuse to believe we have reached the pinnacle of what it means to be human. It may take weeks, months, years, or even decades but I will find that more. Lennon could not have been imagining the way our world "lives." Routine daily life and savoring a few moments? That isn't living. Living is more than can be expressed, our greatest minds have struggled to even find the words to describe the beauty that is life. So I refuse to see our lifestyles as the top of the mountain. I refuse to see all this suffering and stand by, because it means giving a little. I refuse, refuse all that has become considered "the norm." I refuse to wait for someone to say something. It may take all my life, all the money I ever earn, all that my life could have been but I will find that more. I only hope you find yours as well.

Add some perspective! A couple of questions/answers from one of the guest speakers (Rev. Mary Hulst) at this upcoming LIQUID CONFERENCE! Q: Why is the church considered not relevant to young adults and the world today? Why do young adults leave the church after high school and college? And what can we do about it? A: Being part of the church is hard. Who wants to join a messy group that will ask you to serve, to tithe, to obey Christ? Good data shows that if students are in loved in church during college, they will join a church after college. We need to have students who are okay with messy and don't see church as entertainment. We need North American culture to make this shift too... Q: The term "liquid" is being thrown around a lot here within the confides of this conference. How has this symbolic word been incorporated in your own personal life/walk with Christ? A: Ummm... Good question! I think the images of both thirst and baptism come to mind. I love it that we are baptized in liquid and that we .. ...

As a geezer, I proudly claim memories of Captain Kangaroo. I was one of those kids each morning that helped the Captain (played by Robert Keeshan) wake up Grandfather clock. In the afternoon, it was the Mickey Mouse Club. Sometimes, they would show the "Adventures of Spin and Marty"; my favorite. In the evenings, I could sometimes watch "The Twilight Zone" and even then, thought Rod Serling was a bit freaky. I also watched Alfred Hitchcock step into his rotund silhoette every week with his mystery show. Then, on Sunday nights, it was the Ed Sullivan "Really Big Shew". The Beatles first appeared on American television on that stage. Back in those days, televisions were, of course, black and white and far less reliable than today's units. The insides were aglow with many vacuum tubes and the antennaes on the top were often adorned with extensions made from aluminum foil. If the TV stopped working, repairmen would actually come to your house, open their big box of tubes and testers and make the rapair right ...

Jinnat (Ghost) → Splitting of the Moon Posted on June 13, 2008 by adeelayub “The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder” [Qur'an 54:1] Narrated Abdullah: The moon was cleft asunder while we were in the company of the Prophet, and it became two parts. The Prophet said, Witness, witness (this miracle).” Here is the scientific proof of Surah-AL-Qamar. This picture shows the location of the “Rocky Belt” which shows the moon was once split. The unbelievers of Makkah said to the prophet that if you are truly a prophet split the moon and if you do we shall believe. It was a full moon that night… And so the prophet prayed to Allah to grant him this miracle, and the moon was split. Half was seen over Mount Saffa, and the other half was seen over Mount Kaikaan. The people said that the prophet has placed a spell on us, however if he played a trick on us, then he can’t play a trick o ...

The Ryan budget proposed by the House this week would balance in 10 years without raising taxes. The first budget proposed by Senate Democrats in four years includes nearly $1 trillion in new taxes and would not balance the budget EVER. And Reid and Pelosi would have us believe they’re fiscally responsible. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

Don't worry be happy. The Big guy will take care of it all if you believe just put your life in his hands it will work out.and the moon will come out tonight and the stars will put on a show after the sun go down tonight in the west sky from C.moon to right . Just after dark. So look to the sky see the wild night!!!

My day went from silly postings into a silly argument. A thread caught my attention where someone read that the Irish flag is banned in an American state. Now I am being told that the confederate flag is illegal in the United States by a different poster in that thread. I weep for a generation that clearly has access to the Internet, but does not understand the concept of looking up things to see if they are true or not

FROM Kevin Anett How the Mighty have Fallen: The Next Steps in Reclaiming our World and Ourselves. A Special Communique from ITCCS Central ... Our complete Common Law Court proceedings in Case No. 1: Genocide in Canada by Church and State March 12, 2013 In just over one month, history has been made. One Pope has fallen, the Vatican is in disarray, and heads of state are evading arrest warrants after being publicly tried and sentenced for Crimes against Humanity. And thanks to the February 25 verdict of our Common Law Court, the legitimate authority of the Vatican and the British Crown has been disestablished by the fact that their heads of state are now wanted criminals. As at the Nuremberg Trials, not only criminal actors but the system they represent have been lawfully judged and sentenced before the world. Our Common Law Court verdict has given all of us a rare historical opportunity to reclaim power from those who have for so long usurped it. The question now faces us: Will we do so? To grasp the mome ...

The thing is it takes a lot more than time and effort in this world to be successful. "live the American dream" they say. Well they leave out the fact that you need an education to live the dream. An education cost more money now then ever before. If you're paying for an education, are you just paying America to " live the American dream"? Paying for the better things in life, chasing a dream that cost, and realizing it doesn't get easier.

In the light of the cardiac test I'm begrudgingly scheduled for later today I was reminded how lucky I am to live in a country with universal health care. I mean, it would suck to live in some horrible place that doesn't have universal health-care like Mongolia or Turkmenistan... oh, wait they have it, um, Columbia? Peru? Nope they have it, too. Azerbaijan? Algeria? Argentina? Nope... they all have it, too. Maybe some tiny county like Lichtenstein or Andorra? Nope, they have it, too. Moldova? Kazakhstan? Qatar? Them too... remind me... I forget... what backwater reject of a country thinks universal health-care is a bad idea?

the truth - and why the small strides for justice we DO make are slow in coming and done by a small group of people...:( - It would be so great to once in my life really see what could happen if the majority of the american citizenry stood up together, relentlessly fighting the multi facited "good fight" today.

YOU WILL PROBABLY NEVER SEE THIS AGAIN Thought you'd enjoy this! It's one you want your Children and Grandchildren to read. They won't believe this happened, but it DID. Harry & Bess (This seems unreal.) Harry Truman was a different kind of President. He probably made as many, or more important decisions regarding our nation's history as any of the other 32 Presidents preceding him. However, a measure of his greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House. The only asset he had when he died was the house he lived in, which was in Independence Missouri . His wife had inherited the house from her mother and father and other than their years in the White House, they lived their entire lives there. When he retired from office in 1952 his income was a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year. Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and personally licking them, granted him an 'allowance' and, later, a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year. After President Eisenhower ...

Dear Fellow Patriot, I'm not known as one to mince words. On FOX, CNN, Meet the Press, and every TV show I've ever been on, I've said what I meant and meant what I said. That's why my life of service is rooted in leading. It's why people like you respect me for saying what I think - candidly, hon¬estly, and succinctly. As a Member of Congress, I was only one vote out of 435. But I was one of a few who once wore the uniform of the United States Military and who understood how to wield and preserve American power. We love our great nation too much to sit back and take our loss in 2012 as the final verdict on America. That's why I intend to use the newfound freedom I've been given to take my efforts to defeat the Obama liberal progressive agenda to the next level. Today I'm thrilled to introduce our new PAC, the Allen West Guardian Fund. When I give the opening keynote address at CPAC on Thursday, I will outline the Guardian Fund's plans to double our efforts to expose and combat the Obama Administration an ...

Ashland, Oregon – The Southern Oregon Repertory Singers, under the direction of Dr. Paul French, present their fourth and final concert of the season, Night Songs, on Saturday, April 20 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 21 at 3:00 p.m., both at the SOU Recital Hall. American icon Morten Lauridsen’s Nocturnes, based on ‘night’ poems by Rilke, Neruda and James Agee, will be featured on the program. The poems are some of the most haunting and lovely examples of their genre. In 2006, Lauridsen was named an 'American Choral Master' by the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2007 he received the National Medal of Arts from the President in a White House ceremony, "for his composition of radiant choral works combining musical beauty, power and spiritual depth that have thrilled audiences worldwide." In spring of 2012, Lauridsen made a trip to Southern Oregon for the viewing of the 2012 documentary film based on his life entitled, Shining Night: A Portrait of Composer Morten Lauridsen.

A Canadian's view on terrorists Maybe being a hockey commentator makes a difference. DON CHERRY, Canadian Hockey Commentator for CBC Television, was asked on a local live radio talk show, what he thought about the allegations of torture of suspected terrorists. His reply prompted his ejection from the studio, but to thunderous applause from the audience. HIS STATEMENT: "If hooking up one rag head terrorist prisoner's *** to a car battery to get the truth out of the lying little camel shagger will save just one Canadian or American life, then I have only three things to say: 'Red is positive, black is negative, and make sure his nuts are wet."

Ive thought alot about some recent events and Ive done my best to not just speak before thinking. Those who know me know that I have trouble with that so anyway here goes. Every meeting someone is asked to tell y they relay. I have never stood up to take on that task so here goes.I am Tammy and I am a Relayer. I started this not long after my own diagnosis and not because I actually wanted to do it but because a very important family member asked me to do it. I started to relay for Amanda Burrows. As the years have passed Ive met some of the kindest, big-hearted people in the entire world now I relay for me and for them. As of late Ive discovered how very self centered a few of the people involved in the Venango County Relay truly are. There are so many people in this craphole of a town who have sacrificed so much of their time and effort and yes money to make our Relay rock out! I know for a fact that there is blood,sweat,and tears involved with no complaints. So much is done for the benefits of so many ...

Just to get this off my chest: Have we gone so far as a society to see that the american family is being torn apart. Has our generation gone so far away from the original path not to understand the importance of family. Has the hunger for wealth and greed grew so deep within our culture that we'll do anything to obtain it. Even at the detriment of the unwilling and unsuspecting. With the world forming and shaping the way it is, can't we see that it's geared for the demise of our children. Yet we perpetuate the ongoing of this downward spiral. This is not an inherited trait, this has been taught, learned, and developed. My heart is falling out of my chest right now. If a man has to fight to be a father of a child he helped bring into this world, then what is the true pleasure of being a father in the first place? It doesn't make you a strong woman by weakening a man. A strong woman is made when she takes charge, leads, and support when the man is weak! I live for my family and my kids. I'll get over it. Bu ...

ON ENGLISH FOR YOU MY FB FRIENDA - YOU HAVE TO STAY TOGETHER WITH YOUR PREDIDRNT In a way, capitalism has reached limit in its development. In order to survive as such, changes in capital distribution must be done. Basic investment capital and workforce play main roll in its creation and development. The problem is that those two factors are not in balance. Workforce is not getting the basics incomes in order to have decent life. In this position they are forced to take bank loans with interests and soon they are not able to pay the debt. On the other hand, the quantity of products rapidly grows because people cant afford to buy them. Technology is one of the main cause of this problem nowdays. For capitalism, to survive as a system, it is necessary for main capital to be shared equally. This would lead to the strengthening of the capitalist system in general and that is the only way out of the crisis. This problem is realized by President Obama and his plan is to share that capital and also to make democ ...

It seems like the admonition that Senator Kerry uttereded while running for president about government having to much control is manifesting. They are passing their own laws and draining our economy while we blindly watch, (well, some of us anyways). Our countrys economy is not in a recession. It is being re-appropriated as the congressional leaders see fit under the whims of the current dictator. Who is by the way the most destructive and self-centered leader we have ever had. America will never be the same. It is in decline and changing allegiances and allies. Which will by the way have the consequences of fractioning this country once again into civil war. It amazes me when I talk to people to hear their pride and blindness, (America will never fall, we will recover from this), it already has, it will not. It has already been taken over and the victors are already applying their authority to our ways of life. Daily they subvert the American publics minds with their perception. Only Americans do not rea ...

(Comments on a post about Hugo Chaves death - )... Forrest Somma: Hugo Chavez had one of the worst human rights records in recent times. It is estimated over 10,000 people were tortured and then killed without trial under his iron fist dictatorship. Anand Sarmad: Most Americans have being brainwashed and especially YOU southerners still eat this mutated junk food that your media are serving... Hugo Chavez as another Fidel Castro certainly was not a saint, but both dared to avoid your "help" and that hurts...

Lindsey Graham, “No one wants to displace a willing American worker, but I can tell you that in South Carolina there are certain jobs that as an employer you can advertise all day long, every day of the week and you are not going to get that workforce. I want it to be a win-win for everyone where someone overseas can come here temporarily and improve their life and help our employers. Do you agree with that?” Quote from video, and Graham was speaking directly to someone in the committee hearing. Graham and McCain, two of the Gang of 8 on immigration reform, will not release information regarding the contents of the bill saying, “You don’t want to leave it hanging out for two weeks and get shot up.” Well, I guess Graham thinks they need to pass this bill so they can all read it.

The History of Pin-Up Art Prehistoric man obviously had some degree of veneration for the female form, judging by Paleolithic sculptures of well endowed women. Anthropologists are unsure if they symbols of fertility or erotic talismans passed around by horney hunters. These Venuses served a need or the common good somehow, even if they don't follow our strict definition of pin-up... Ancient Greeks were unashamed by modern standards in acceptance of the nude figure. The original Olympics were contested by naked athletes. Male athletes. Still, there are many examples of Hellenic Godesses, all in fashionable dishabille. The Greek Gods also had a tendency to interact with mere mortals in many carnal stories. Depictions of these sorts of encounters call for a degree of audience participation, understanding and involvement. In Pompeii and the Roman world, erotic art was woven into the fabric of everyday life. Frank sexual depictions were found in public marketplaces, murals and sculptures. Once Christianity bec ...

Top 5 Ways to Practice Non-Conformity in the Matrix The human mind is easily programmed, and human behavior is largely autonomous once the sub-conscious has a suggestion of what to do. By default, people seem inclined to conform to the ideas, environment and behaviors around them, at least as a means of survival and of fitting in. Unless an individual takes charge of their own mind and their own behavior, most people are content to follow along with what other people are doing, even if that means doing something self-destructive. As we grow, we learn how to play and interact with others, and we learn how others react to us. We begin to develop an understanding of which behavior is acceptable and which is not, and if we are paying attention, we realize that there is a subtle system of rewards and punishments involved in social interaction. Adherence to this system is what keeps society together, and depending on what rewards and punishments appeal to us, we choose which ideas and behaviors to conform to an ...

Bob here. Maybe it's just me, but I have seen a fair amount of glee and satisfaction about the Kwame Kilpatrick verdict. "Oh yeah, Kwame got his, didn't he?" type comments. Now, don't misunderstand me. I support the verdict and I do believe he must pay his debt to society. He needs to go to prison, to be sure. I guess I just, as a Christian, feel a measure of compassion for him and especially his children. I think we need to make sure we are not spitting on him and laughing as he goes to prison, but instead praying for him that he would have his eyes opened and his heart softened so he can see the crimes he truly committed, and seek forgiveness. We also need to pray for his kids. Well, that's my take. What's yours?

Fox News dropped Sarah Palin After Contract Negotiations Fail Published on Jan 26, 2013 Sarah Palin is out at Fox News after contract negotiations fail. Palin made a reported $1 million per year, but Fox executives frequently complained she failed to meet ratings expectations. Sarah Palin is out at Fox. Some say she quit Fox News, while others speculate she was given the cold shoulder by network executives. Palin was initially hired as a regular contributor for Fox News back in January 2008, around the same time her book, Going Rogue: An American Life, became a New York Times bestseller.

Pode ser fake mas era bem coisa do Ben ter esse enfoque positivo sobre a religião, a frase registrada dele é essa abaixo, mas sabemos que gostava de vinho e cerveja: For the record, here, in a letter addressed to André Morellet in 1779, is what Benjamin Franklin actually did say: Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine, a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.

Thanks to all those who attend "OUR National Dilemma: Gun Violence in American Life" yesterday evening in Urbana, Illinois. This was a great opportunity to raise issues and provide action steps for gun violence reduction efforts. But it was also an important occasion to LISTEN INTENTLY AND LEARN ABOUT the concerns folks have about gun violence as it intersects with a host of issues including: race and masculinity, parenting boys-to-men, the rural vs. urban divide, the role of faith communities, the Obama presidency American military culture and more. Despite the frigid weather, I am grateful to the thoughtful crowd committed to help each other think through these complex issues. Thanks to Rebecca Ginsburg and the Educational Justice Project (EJP) community at UIUC for the invite and continued support of ICHV in Central Illinois. ---Nicole

"Make No Bones About It." “The United States is a fake country that has no culture. It’s easy to manipulate such a country, and to channel its people. The U.S. has a facade shown to the rest of the world, but few know of its reverse side as thoroughly as Indians do. The picture people see is not the reality of today’s United States. Even the President who’s in office today wasn’t really elected, like back in the year 2000. Young people certainly strive to get here to achieve their dreams. But really anyone coming only has one reason: they want to become rich and successful, and they want to get their opportunities to succeed. Once you talk to them you realize they don’t even dream of anything beyond money-making. This was the reason Europeans came here. This is the principle of the American Life. The world is sick and tired of American prosperity. The world is waking up.” - Russell Means
