The inference of this article is that parents are choosing Roman Catholic Schools instead of Public schools for reasons of religion. Others would say that the parents are choosing the Roman Catholic schools because of the potential for a better education for their children at the Christian schools. What do you think?

It is time for regime change and the place is Washington, DC. As this very fair and insightful article tells us, all of the ideologically motivated “changes” of the Obama Administration have damaged the USA. Why?
1. The Obama Administration was from the very first, an ideologically motivated administration. That of itself is not surprising since most elections are about ideas. a. However, the Obama administration has plenty of ideas but no experience in governing a nation. b. The ideas of Mr. Obama and his appointees were hidden under benign liberal slogans like, “hope and change” but were actually revolutionary Maoists, socialist, egalitarian, and even in some forms communist political philosophies. c. Others may have had the same ideas but the Obama administration actually tried to implement them with the aid and protection of a main stream news media that covered up all facts and fed the American people carefully selected pabulum. ( this was ridiculously illustrated by the reporting that Mr. Obama was “losing sleep” (poor baby) over the debt debate and recently was forced to curtail his Cape Cod luxury vacation because of Hurricane Irene. ( I wonder if he was afraid to bail water at the multi million dollar mansion in which he resided?) Folks, the main stream press, as you know, actually reported these items to get our sympathy for our President!
2. The Obama administration has not presented any plan for the economic recovery of America. instead they have passed that off to the Republicans in Congress. It seems that they have reversed the tried and true axiom of our government, namely, that the President proposes and the Congress disposes. (Maybe the President has never graduated from the Illinois Senate?)
3. The President actually thinks that the identification of the problem is the entire scope of his job and that the rest of the government is supposed to come up with the solution. Okay! But when they do come up with the solution, such as the numerous Republican legislative proposals, he has his henchman Harry Reid say, Dead on Arrival in the Senate and if that fails, he tells the problems solvers that he will veto their efforts. And he does all of this while going on record saying that we need more cooperation and collaboration in Washington.
4. Lastly, and this is simply my personal pet peeve…I do not think that Barrack Hussein Obama likes America. Oh, yes, he likes Air Force One. He uses it as his personal private plane while at the same time criticizing corporate executives for using private company jets. Oh, yes, he likes the massive serving staff of the White House, that caters to his whims ( as they did for other Presidents) but Obama at the same time tells us to stop eating at fast food restaurants, and to tighten our belts and learn to give up our perks and share the wealth…all the while he luxuriates in the splendors of the perks we lavish on our Presidents…and all the while, I believe, he doesn’t even like us.
There is a solution to all of this. It comes in November 2012 when the citizens of this great nation should tell Mr. Obama, “Thanks, but no thanks.” Give him his pension and get him out of the White House before he completely destroys the nation we love and he doesn’t even like.
British aircraft fired cruise missiles at a headquarters bunker overnight in Gaddafi’s birthplace of Sirte. A city beyond rebel control, on the Mediterranean coast 450 km (300 miles) east of Tripoli, some believe he might seek refuge there among his tribesmen. Loyalist forces also still hold positions deep in the Sahara desert. “Sirte remains an operating base from which pro-Gaddafi troops project hostile forces against Misrata and Tripoli,” a NATO official said, adding that its forces had also acted to stop a column of 29 vehicles heading west toward Misrata. In Benghazi, rebel military spokesman Ahmed Bani said the bombing in Sirte was aimed at ammunition stores and depots for Scud missiles. “Maybe the mercenaries will run away,” he said, referring to suggestions Gaddafi’s forces include hired fighters from Chad and other sub-Saharan African countries. “After this bombing, maybe the people there will try to rise up.” he added, saying TNC commanders were also in contact with tribal chiefs in Sirte, hoping to avoid bloodshed. Such negotiations will be a major challenge across the country for Libya’s new rulers as they try to meet expectations of young men now bearing arms and to heal ethnic, tribal and other divisions that have been exacerbated by civil war. This writer asks your indulgence as he screams objection to the wholesale killing tactics of the NATO military alliance. There is just no way any reasonable person can say that innocent civilians are not being slaughtered wholesale by the powerful cruise missiles that NATO is using to bomb the free people of SIRTE into submission. It does not matter to NATO that the free people of Sirte do not want the European imposed Rebel government. Rate this: Rate This Share this: Share Like this: Like Be the first to like this post.

I really thought that there was a chance for a candidate that I completely trusted. I am an independent and lean heavily toward the Republicans. I thought and still think that Ryan/Rubio is the ticket. Alas, that Ryan just will not run for the nomination. For me, this is a sad thing.

NATO is deciding who is right and who is wrong. That’s okay inside NATO, but Libya was a sovereign Country. NATO is deciding who will live and who will die. Nobody can imagine that the NATO bombs do not kill Libya civilians. But the NATO people say that is okay that the supporters of Gaddafi die. NATO is deciding the fate of all of the residents of Libya. The rebels are already detaining wounded civilians for interrogation and execution. But NATO says this is okay because the wounded are Gaddafi supporters and they deserve to die. NATO is taking sides at every turn of this phony war for the oil wealth of Libya. In this article we read that they are bombing the tribal home and birth place of Gaddafi. Why? Because these good innocent and freedom loving people are choosing to support Gaddafi. This is wrong according to NATO and therefore we will bomb them into submission or death! All the while the American public is duped into complacency because Gaddafi is BAD and the rebels are Good. If all of this were not happening right in front of us, it would not even be worthy of a second rate 1950’s fantasy movie. Sadly, it is happening and all of it is blatant aggression of the (N)orth (A)tlantic (T)reaty (O)rganization (NATO), a western European, white and Christian military alliance with major support from USA, against one small North African Dessert country called Libya. Population six million. Race and color is brown. Religion is Muslim. WHERE ARE THE AMERICAN LIBERAL PROTESTERS? WHERE IS THE AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL? Will no religious group, other than the Vatican support peace in Libya? Why did Sarkozy turn a Judas against Gaddafi? Why did Obama betray his African brother? Why did Russia’s Putin become the lap dog of the French and British when he refused to veto the betrayal agreement crafted by the United nations? It’s all about the revival of French and British Colonial Imperialism and Obama’s Napoleanic dreams of his Arab Spring!
http://www.nowpublic.com/world/us-transfers-libyan-money-lockerbie-victims This writer can not even imagine the pain and suffering caused by the loss of a loved one through acts of terror. In fact, I cannot really imagine the pain and suffering from loss through accident. However, civil courts and governments made legally binding deals called monetary settlements. The perpetrator payed a fine and the victims accepted the cash. While all is not forgiven, the family is regarded as duly compensated and the perpetrator is released from further court action. Read this very informative article concerning the Lockerbie and Berlin Disco settlement and note the significance of the Vast Oil deposits for American companies. Also note that the deal was legal. It was carried out by the USA Secretary of State and that there were binding agreements attached about the regard the USA promised to have toward the Libyan government. It did not include an escape clause that the USA could change it’s mind after the deal was done and it did not contain a secret protocol allowing the USA to use NATO and the United Nations as a phony front for the overthrow of the Legally recognized government of Libya.
What do you think of Representative Paul Ryan and his chances for the Republican Presidential nomination?
http://news.yahoo.com/explosions-gunfire-rock-tripoli-rebels-advance-005332618.html
We need a leader and Representative Paul Ryan is the man of the hour. He understands economics. He also understands the economics needed to get the USA back into play as the greatest economy in the world. This will not only help America, it will help the world. Yes, I am bold enough to say that a Paul Ryan Presidency will make the world a better place.
He is also a very good communicator and what he tells you is the truth. Today we have a lot of double speak, mis-speak and down right lies. We also have a huge amount of political theater by the ” I will veto it Obama” and the “dead on arrival Reid.” We need Paul Ryan because he has sound financial ideas, these ideas are part of an all encompassing plan, and if we implement the plan we will stop this double dip recession, save medicare and Social Security and put America back to work on the road to prosperity.
Paul Ryan loves America. He is a proud citizen of our nation and he has served in our Congress with dignity and integrity. There is little likelihood that like Obama, Ryan would appoint people to his cabinet who, like the President, do not love America .
The names of the people who are endorsing a Ryan bid for the White House show that he would unite and strengthen the Republican party, (see names in the article). It also indicates that Congressman Ryan enjoys across the spectrum political support.
Although I cannot promise it, I also believe that if Paul Ryan wins the nomination from Mitt Romney, that Governor Romney will commit his strong campaign force behind a Ryan drive for the election.
Paul Ryan is a good campaigner, and will be a match for Obama. Paul’s love for the truth will not allow Paul’s respect for the institution of the Presidency to limit him as he refutes the smear campaign certain to be launched against him by the Obama White House.
In every area and according to every criteria, a Paul Ryan Presidency will be very good for America. He is the leader we need.
