The overwhelming defeat unseating so many Democrats in the House of Representatives was awesome. More amazing than that is the number of state house and senate members, governorships, and secretaries of state, that were elected in many states throughout the country. In Georgia, for instance, Republicans won all fifteen seats up for grabs, leading to many defections of Democrats by switching to the Republican Party. Many Congressional districts will be re drawn, and hopefully David Scott won't be my Congressman for very much longer. However, the Courts in Georgia are still very liberal and may overturn many district maps like they did in 2002 when the district I'm in was gerrymandered so as I was in the same Congressional District as the M.L.King Jr. Center. If you want to talk about being disenfranchised, David Scott did everything he could to make sure whites got no favors from his office. Mr. Scott is going to find himself very lonely in the upcoming Congress, probably joining John Lewis in reliving the glory days of the Civil Rights movement. Even though Scott and Lewis, with a super majority in the House and filibuster proof majority in the Senate, failed to deliver on any of their campaign promises and blaming the Tea Party on their inherit racism, and the GOP on their racist policies by going against their messiah, Barack Hussein Obama. Their constituents re elected them handily anyway. As the fabricated man President, Obama is losing his grip on reality and supporters and staffers are deserting him, and he has resorted to using the race card more and more. It doesn't seem to work as it once did; designed to intimidate and silence his critics; going to the same old playbook one time too many, making the same old unfounded charges. Once, I had a Georgia State professor tell me, that the definition of insanity includes doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;If these black elected officials are intent on keeping the topic of racism going and who's racist and who is not, should look in the mirror. They are the ones making demands and if they don't get their way, then the other guy is a racist. They are the ones who keep driving in the wedges. They will continue to do so as long as there is a compliant liberal news media, now nothing more than a propaganda machine for the Left, that covers every Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton, news conference, or any impromptu news conference on the State Capitol steps, like its a page one, life or death situation. The Reverends know that they can count on the media to run with any press release, true or not; to cover for them when they are found out. Remember when Jesse was caught paying off his mistress, his love child's mother with Rainbow Coalition funds; a crime that PTL Jim Baker went to prison, and the infamous Tawana Brawley was attacled by supposedly white supremisists, and the Duke University Lacrosse team members of gang raping a black stripper. The most recent example I can think of right now is when there is any criticism of Obama, it is categorized as racist; not because of his Marxist policies, and his hard left wing agenda. That's what you get when a South Side Chicago crack addict and community organizer, and Saul Alinsky subscribed Socialist agitator is elected President. He couldn't have become President without the help of the liberal, left leaning, race conscious news media and a politically correct, &lt;strong&gt;"&lt;em&gt;enlightened"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; academia who thought it would be cool for a black man to be President. A black man was elected President, without any consideration for his qualifications and his political beliefs. Now, we as a nation are paying dearly for the journalistic malpractice of the major media for their failure to properly scrutinize the candidate Obama and the indiscretions of the &lt;strong&gt;"useful idiots"&lt;/strong&gt; that inhabit our college campuses. Realizing that my opinion doesn't amount to much because I have long been accused of being a racist, I'm no longer going to hold back what I really think and I am going to say what I want to say regardless of the racist charges being made against me. Taking the very un politically correct position that I feel that the &lt;strong&gt;poor&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;under&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;educated &lt;/strong&gt;blacks that crowd into public housing and the ghettos in our inner cities &lt;strong&gt;are their own worst enemy.&lt;/strong&gt; The Civil Rights Movement was in the sixties; and now we are half century later, and fifty years of failed liberal policies, their plight really hasn't improved much. As long as they keep listening to the Revs. Jackson and Sharpton, Democrats who keep them in their back pocket with unfulfilled or promises they have no intention in keeping; and other charlatans out to make a name for themselves, will continue to hang onto the &lt;strong&gt;plantation mentality&lt;/strong&gt; and their situation will remain hopeless. But of course, they remain, and are content to receive their pittance of a check, live in substandard housing, in an environment of decadence, crime and violence, and for the most part live as they always have. They are essentially &lt;strong&gt;too lazy&lt;/strong&gt; to move out of their comfort zone, even refusing to speak the king's English; basking in their jive talking ignorance; not using what educational opportunities and self improvement programs, at huge costs, more than &lt;strong&gt;ONE TRILLION DOLLARS &lt;/strong&gt;since the implimentation of the Great Society by President Lyndon Johnson, to the taxpayers of this country, which has gone out of its way to provide for them. They show no gratitude in the least and demand that society give them more. Indelibly written in their weak, entitlement expectant minds, fed by decades of vote buying promises by Democrats, they threaten to take to the streets, rioting in order to get whatever it is they're demanding. Forty years as a photojournalist, I have personally witnessed how Food Stamp, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment benefits, Social Security and other social providing programs have opened a Pandora's Box of fraud and corruption by a few have made things worse for those who genuinely need the programs. Food Stamps up until recently could be bought, bartered, and sold undervalue for cash to acquire items other other than food; such as beer, liquor, cigarettes, lottery tickets, and even crack cocaine. Now a debit card is issued, making it more difficult for the average recipient to buy anything other than food. The welfare system is broken and the solution Democrats have come up with, is more and bigger bureaucracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Obama was supposed to be the answer to all their problems, but now that he has not delivered, they still refuse to see the truth for what it is. Saying, &lt;em&gt;"Obama promised me a new house, a new car, a new refridgerator, and I'm still waiting. I'm beginning to think he just said that to get me to vote for him."&lt;/em&gt; NO! You voted for him because he is black; period. You didn't get the things he promised you because he is a Democrat; but the labor unions and his other special interest groups got theirs. They can blame the Tea Party and the GOP all they want, but it does nothing to solve their problem and drives the wedge even deeper. I think what is happening with the Tea Party is that they are getting numb to all the race baiting and baseless accusations, and becoming tone deaf to all the whining and moaning by the liberals and the Left. This is what Jesus meant when He said, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;the poor you will always have with you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Obama was supposed to be the great healer, closing the racial divide, making us one big happy family. It didn't take long after Obama was elected that I noticed a shift in the attitude of many blacks I came in contact with on a daily basis. It seemed as though they were now carrying a chip on their shoulder and showing &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;whitey&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; that we are in charge now. They wear T shirts saying so, and bumper stickers gloating the fact; not exactly racially healing. I was not alone in this summation; studies are showing that the racial divide in this country is as big or bigger now under this President than at any other time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Fifty years of Liberal policies have all but bankrupt this nation. Worse than the financial crisis we find ourselves in, is the moral cesspool; and tolerance, which led to political correctness is probably the biggest contributor. Political correctness to people like you and me is nothing more than censorship. It is designed to keep us from speaking out against the moral feces that is being continually thrown at us; abortion, same sex marriage, gay rights, and a host of other diametrically opposing views we have with the Left, like categorizing the Holy Bible as hate speech. Even some Conservative radio talk show hosts are on record as saying how they have no objection to what goes on in a bedroom of two consenting adults, even though it goes beyond what we believe and profess to be as Christians. Talk radio show hosts or not, they are guilty when they become apologists for gays and their perverted agenda, like a white female TV talk show host did when she took out a two page ad in the New York Times apologizing for some remarks she made on the air. The talkers are oblivious to the fact that they are being used to advance the Left's radical views in this way. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Now we are in a fight for our freedom. The sacred and dear Godly precepts and ideals that our founding fathers intended for us are being threatened as they have never been before. Personally, I pray for this country everyday; praying that this nation will turn around and God's will be done in the United States of America just as it is in Heaven. &lt;strong&gt;I pray that this nation will re emerge as the greatest nation on earth; that city on the hill; the beacon of hope, freedom, and justice for all the world to see, and everyone will see without a doubt that there is indeed a God in the United States of America, and it is the Lord.&lt;/strong&gt; You call me any derrogatory word you want, but I'm no longer going to be intimidated or restrained for declaring what I believe to be the truth. If you are offended by this article, then you are part of the problem; &lt;strong&gt;I'm no longer apologizing for what I believe to be the truth.&lt;/strong&gt; Call me anything you want; I don't care.

Harry Reid was re elected and remains Majority Leader in the US Senate and Nancy Polosi was re elected, although no longer Speaker of the House, &lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 186px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 218px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541617755567868354" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TOfH_OmeycI/AAAAAAAABQE/fduigksHlGk/s400/Nancy%2BPolosi%2BQueen%2BFreak.jpg" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TOe8c1u4owI/AAAAAAAABP0/Z_oYsnq3lkg/s1600/SanFranFreaks01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 165px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541605070148772610" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TOe8c1u4owI/AAAAAAAABP0/Z_oYsnq3lkg/s320/SanFranFreaks01.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;she remains in the House fighting to keep her job as Minority Leader. Other disappointments include the write in victory of Linda Murkowski as Senator from Alaska, thanks to Democrats that crossed over and voted for her rather than their own candidate. We have the National Republican Senatorial Committee and mighty mouth Karl Rove to thank for that. Neither will the National Republican Congressional Committee, for their treatment of Christine O'Donnell and their lack of support for other Tea Party candidates. Neither of these GOP organizations will receive a dime from me for a political party contribution. From now on, I will contribute directly to the candidate and not the party. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The people of Nevada that voted for Harry Reid, one of the major sources of their economic woes, (worst in the nation) are simply stupid. Even though Reid sold his soul to be reelected, and was behind in the polls up until the last day, the Reid voters cowed down to the labor unions and the casino owners. I don't buy their pitiful excuse saying that they were pressured into voting for Reid. The last time I checked, there were private voting booths in Nevada and once you go in there, no one knows how you voted; or at least they aren't supposed to know; but that's another issue. There should be an audit on the election process in Nevada as well as other states where voter fraud had been reported.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Listening to radio talk show hosts Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, I was somewhat encouraged; this is only the beginning; our fight has only just begun. We have to build on what the Tea Party has started. The Tea Party must not rest on its laurels; this is no time to stop now. The Tea Party must remain focused on the 2012 elections, and winning the presidency. Not only to we have the task of defeating the Jackasses but the Rino's within our own party. Already there is talk that some of the GOP blue bloods have not gotten the loud and clear message that the Tea Party sent them. Intent on moderating and compromising with Jackasses, is no way for winners to act, and by doing so will will paint a large target on the backs of any who want to cross the aisle, including Grassle in Indiana and Graham in South Carolina, both of whom are up for reelection in 2012 and could face Tea Party candidates in the primaries of those states. Limbaugh and Levin both agree that the era of bipartisanship is over.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Knowing that Republicans will be controlling the purse strings in January is somewhat comforting, however what these lame duck Jackasses do to spite the electorate until then is frightening. Thankfully, right now, the Jackasses are in disarray and hopefully there will be gridlock and nothing else damaging to country can be implimented. A number of Jackasses who remain once the Republicans take over, can see the writing on the wall and are afraid to do anything in haste because it may cost them their job. Meanwhile, the GOP is showcasing its lineup of potential presidential candidates, like Christie in New Jersey, Jindel, in Louisiana, Pawley in Minnesota; anybody but Sarah Palin. The GOP establishment is in for a rude awakening. The Tea Party candidate of choice right now is without a doubt is Sarah Palin. Whether or not she runs remains in question, but as her popularity continues to grow, and the political clout she carries, I think she is getting the feeling that she stands a really good chance of winning the nomination. Once she announces, she will be unstoppable. It is amazing, that the more the left and the media persecute her, the stronger she gets.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Locally, there is an exodus of conservative Democrats in Georgia, switching sides. All fifteen state wide seats were won by Republicans. That makes for a larger majority in both the Georgia House and Senate. Congressional districts will be re drawn and some of the Democrat gerrymandered districts will be reshaped. Hopefully, David Scott will not be my representative for very much longer. The cities however will keep asking the state for money because they can't sustain all the social programs they use to buy their votes to stay in power, and they will continue to slide downward, even during the best of economic times. This pattern is true throughout ninety five percent of the other cities in this country that are controlled by tax and spend Jackasses.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some photos that were taken recently in San Francisco. This people are constituents in Nancy Polosi's Congressional District. If you were wondering how the hard left looks, here are some examples. This explains how she was re elected and why California, perhaps the most beautiful state in the nation has turned into a political cesspool.&lt;br /&gt;The inmates are now running the insane asylum.&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TOe8Rso1NhI/AAAAAAAABPs/TxyX0FbRuxQ/s1600/SanFranFreaks02.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

These are only just a few pictures; thousands more can be found on the Internet. What is troubling to me is, that there are pockets of these kinds of radicals in every major city in this country. Although, small in number, the are a potential threat to the security of this country by spreading their poison wherever the go. This is what we middle Americans are up against. Just because we won a huge election, that doesn't mean these misfits, perverts, and social slugs are going to go away. The heathen will always yell louder and longer trying to wear you down until you don't care anymore. We cannot afford to let that happen.

Her name was Dolley, a rather large woman, almost twice her husband's weight. He was quiet, very reserved and some say was introverted. She was gregarious, the life of the party, and doted in the finest fashions. He was intellectually a genius, soft spoken, a deep thinker. She surrounded herself with Washington in post American Revolution high society while he worked in the presence of men like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. They were the perfect couple.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;He served in our first Congress, drafting many bills that became basic laws for the structure of the new nation. He wrote the first ten Amendments, often referred to as the Bill of Rights, of the Constitution of the United States, and he is often referred to as the Father of the Constitution, a title he protested. He wrote, "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;the &lt;span style="color:#0645ad;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Constitution&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;was not, like the fabled Goddess of Wisdom, the offspring of a single brain. It ought to be regarded as the work of many heads&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;and many hands".&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; He was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers which explains and how the Constitution should be interpreted. He wrote paper number ten, in which he explained how a&lt;strong&gt; large country with many different interests and factions could support republican values better than a small country dominated by a few special interests.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;For his many contributions, Madison is considered one of the founding fathers of this nation. He joined ranks with Thomas Jefferson in advocating states' rights, opposing John Adams and Washington in their belief in a single Federalist central government. He opposed Alexander Hamilton in creating a national bank, but reversed himself when he realized that the country needed such an institution. He saw the need for a system of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;checks and balances&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; that would prevent a tyrany of the majority, neccessary for setup of a democratic republic. He and Jefferson formed the Democratic-Republican party, now the Republican party. When Jefferson defeated John Adams to become our third President, Madison became Jefferson's Secretary of State and was instrumental in acquiring the Louisiana Purchase which effectively doubled the size of the United States. Even though small in stature and had health problems, he was elected the fourth President of the United States, and after his death was considered one of the bravest men to ever occupy the White House. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;While Washington City was under attack by the British in the &lt;strong&gt;War of 1812&lt;/strong&gt;, Dolley Madison, the first lady, ordered everyone to evacuate the presidential mansion, but was insistent in staying herself, to save important documents, including the original Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and the standing Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington that hangs this day in the Rotunda of our nation's Capitol. She risked her life, putting everything on the line, before the invading army burned the White House into a crumbling shell. Dolley Madison is revered as the most important first lady in this nation's history, preserving our country's heritage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;A devout Christian, he defended Baptist preachers charged with preaching without a license as a young attorney. Being blamed for starting the &lt;strong&gt;War of 1812&lt;/strong&gt;, referred to by his adversaries as "Madison's War", he watched from Virginia as Washington City burned. The real reasons that we went to war was because of treaty violations by the British in international waters. They were raiding American vessels and taking men against their will and pressed them into service into the British Navy. Madison believed that the British were deliberately provoking America into war so that they could reclaim the colonies lost during the &lt;strong&gt;Revolutionary War&lt;/strong&gt;. He may have been right, because America did not have a standing army, only a few state militias of young inexperienced soldiers. The British thought that the American resistance would be crushed, and for a while, it looked that way, because they were no match for the most powerful armed force on earth and scattered in panic. The British Army marched vitrually unopposed into Washington. As the glow of the fires illuminated the storm clouds above, Madison prayed that God would preserve his beloved nation. He realized that if the British won the war, the fledgling American nation would be repossessed by England and that everything that he and our other founding fathers had worked for would have been in vain. Miraculously, a hurricane came ashore as Washington burned, the storm sweeping the invading British army into disarray as it extinguished the fires. A tornado touched down leaving a half mile wide swath through the center of the city. An entry in the diary of one British soldier, wrote, "it was though the finger of God had come down out of heaven." Many British soldiers were killed and many others were seriously injured. The next day, the British retreated as a battered, defeated army. On horseback, Madison rode through the city rallying the Americans. Even though in bad health, he was on horseback for four days urging the inexperienced militia men together to defend Baltimore. Many in Congress wanted to move the capital city to Philadelphia, but Madison insisted that the capital not be moved because we as country should not allow a foreign power to determine where our capital should be. Madison urged that the government locate to a hotel within the city. Congress convened in the city post office. The cry reached far and wide as incensed Americans rose up in vast numbers. Together, James and Dolley looked upon their burned out former home, realizing that they would never live their again. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Even though a peace agreement was agreed to in Ghent, Belgium, it took weeks to reach Washington. The British claim that the war was a draw, but it was the Americans who defined themselves as a nation not to be trifled with. In the four days of constant bombardment of Ft. McHenry in Baltimore Harbor, it was then that Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner, put to the tune of an English drinking song, it became our national anthem. The frustrated British had given up trying to get the Americans to surrender, and left.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Madison was not a perfect president. He admitted that there were many mistakes made during his administration, but he was virtuous enough to reverse himself and change his position when he saw that his way was wrong; for example, he changed his position on having a national bank and the need for a centralized federal army as George Washington had campaigned for. . After his presidency, Madison became concerned about his legacy to the point where it almost became an obsession. Although He was blamed for dragging America into the War of 1812, he was vindicated after his death because of what he did helping form this country, up to and to the end of his presidency. He left the White House a poor man; his Virginia tobacco plantation failing. Upon his leaving the White House, he retained all his personal writings and memoirs, saying that they could be sold and money used to support Dolly upon his death. Suffering in bad health and degenerative mental illness, he went about editing his letters and memoranda, changing the wording, which often changed the meaning. Some historians say that he feebly tried to forge Thomas Jefferson's signature on a letter he claimed to be written to him by Jefferson. Others say that Jefferson was getting up in years and that his handwriting showed it. Some historians theorize that Madison was trying to come to terms with his guilt in some of the bad decisions he made; and by editing his personal papers was his way of correcting those mistakes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Madison was not judged on what he did in the final years of his life, but on all his many accomplishments and contributions that he made in helping to create this nation. In many public school today, little is being taught about our founding fathers. This brief historical vignette is only meant to pique your interest so that you can learn more about James and Dolley Madison on your own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-9161003237079084451?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/9161003237079084451/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=9161003237079084451' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/9161003237079084451'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/9161003237079084451'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2010/10/little-jimmy-and-dolly.html' title='LITTLE JIMMY AND DOLLEY'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TLxmAc3YiPI/AAAAAAAABLs/Kgw4-sRFAQ0/s72-c/200px-Dolley.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-8005695441908257797</id><published>2010-10-06T07:00:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-10-06T07:22:57.442-04:00</updated><title type='text'>...AND THERE WILL BE WALING AND GNASHING OF TEETH</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;It's pretty much old news now, but welcome news just the same that he Tea Party Movement is continuing to grow while the remote possibility of a third party of elite Republicans loom in the near future. We are only a month away from mid term election day and polls are showing Tea Party and Conservative candidates both in the House and the Senate races will not be hurt significantly if such a third party of fired rinos comes into being. Washington establishment Republicans are still reeling over the loses of Senators Murkowski and Castle in the GOP primaries and yet they refuse to believe that this is nothing more than a fluke. Karl Rove, George W. Bush's campaign architect has been the voice of the GOP establishment and has made it very clear that they are unhappy with what's happening in the shake up of the party. There are other GOP members of Congress that have been targeted as well. The GOP hierarchy refuses to recognize that there is an unparalleled, unprecedented Conservative movement in this country and the people as a whole are fed up with politics as usual.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Meanwhile, there is panic among Democrats; many of which are regretting listening to Bill Clinton and voting for the universal health care bill. Democrat leaders Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are on record as saying that once the bill is passed that the people would embrace it. Now it is shown not only were they are wrong, but once the people have learned what's in the bill, the disapproval numbers have gone up to seventy-one percent. Add that to the over all Democrat Congress' approval numbers which is in the single digits, there is going to be a blood bath on election day. Most Washington beltway insiders are saying that Democrats could loose as many as thirty seats in the House, which would give the GOP control by a slim margin, and there is a very real possibility that they will lose the majority in the Senate as well. However, there are many of us that are believing that the blood letting will be much worse than that; there could be as many as eighty to one hundred Democrat seats lost in the House. The reason: The red states are going to remain red, and in most battleground states, the Democrats are going to be big losers. Only in the big cities, Atlanta for instance, where the Democrat legislature gerrymandered Congressional districts have succeeded in creating a huge entitlement mentality constituency;  will retain their seats. Representatives John Lewis and David Scott will have little trouble in keeping their seats. I could be wrong about David Scott; I hope I am. Nancy Pelosi may possibly keep her seat, but she definitely will not be Speaker of the House. The latest poll numbers are showing that Harry Reid doesn't have a prayer of being re elected.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;President Obama is acting as if he is already a lame duck president and many of his staff are abandoning him; David Axelrod, the latest, and Rahm Emanuel who first thought about running for the Illinois Senate, and now the Mayor of Chicago, where he is more at home. If the turnout is as big as most of us would like to see, there will be a major House cleaning. Even if we don't take back the Senate, the Democrats that succeed in retaining their seats will lean more toward the middle and away from the radical left. Most Conservatives and Tea Party participants, made up of Independents, Democrats, and Libertarians, have targeted others in the 2012 elections. Political opportunists such as Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and liberal Republicans Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine may face opposition within the party because historically they have voted alongside Democrats on some of their agenda items in which most of us are opposed. We already know that the GOP hierarchy does not like us; they didn't like Ronald Reagan and they look at Sarah Palin as an embarrassment. It's hard to believe just how out of touch these GOP blue bloods are.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The question now is; what can we expect after November 2nd? First: the Democrats will try to sneak through as many items on their agenda as they can, even though they are going against the will of the people. After January 20, the new Republican Congress will try to repeal the health care bill, and cut taxes, and cut spending on a large scale to get the stagnant economy moving again. It will probably take two or more years to undo the damage the present administration has perpetrated on the American people; that is if we remain focused and united in our efforts. Hopefully, there will be a major restructuring and overhaul of the Federal government and a significant downsizing of meaningless government programs that benefit only a few at tremendous expense, and departments that were created to reward Democrat supporters. If the Democrats, out of spite do so, it will be death of their party as we know it and anyone in their right mind will never believe them again. It will take them forty years to recover from this defeat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;One has to bear in mind that the left are like spoiled brats who start throwing temper tantrums whenever the don't get their way. No matter if they are trounced in November, they will not be going away. What this will do is make them yell all the louder, demanding minority rights, and voicing their discontent in every way imaginable. You can expect major civil disobedience just as they did during the Vietnam War and anarchy in massive demonstrations in which they will resort to acts of sabotage and violence; all this even though a mandate was handed to them that the American people reject Socialism, Marxism, and any other "ism" if it goes against the US Constitution. Yes, there will be waling and gnashing of teeth.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;What should be done? There are several things which I think should be done, but prioritized as not to conflict with existing programs that everyday people rely on; medicare, for example. I would like to see those that were instrumental in going against the will of the people and the US Constitution be prosecuted and made to answer for their crimes before the new Congress. There were hundreds of violations of the Constitution, including over one hundred fifty violations and abuses of power by President Obama alone. Depending whether or not the &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Republicans take over the Senate as well, I think there should be a move to impeach President Obama and remove him from office. Also, once and for all time, require Obama to prove his citizenship status. If he refuses to supply documents to show that he is indeed legitimate or doesn't comply with Congressional demands, or that it is discovered that he fraudulently qualified himself to run for president, there will be a move to impeach and remove the usurper from office. If that event comes to pass, Obama should be tried in a criminal court and if found guilty, sentenced to prison. That also goes for anyone that aided him and was involved in the scam against the citizens of the US. If there is insurrection as a result, it should be met with force and those who resort to criminal activity should be prosecuted; no deals compromised It boils down to this. Are we a nation of law and order, or are we not?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Just because we win this November doesn't mean that these radicals are going to shut up and retreat into a dark closet somewhere. Our battle will only have just begun. We must work to win in 2012 and beyond. Meanwhile, you can expect plenty of waling and gnashing of teeth. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-8005695441908257797?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/8005695441908257797/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=8005695441908257797' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/8005695441908257797'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/8005695441908257797'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2010/09/and-there-will-be-waling-and-gnashing.html' title='...AND THERE WILL BE WALING AND GNASHING OF TEETH'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-2385983383805958962</id><published>2010-09-16T23:06:00.008-04:00</published><updated>2010-09-17T03:41:38.463-04:00</updated><title type='text'>RNC VERSUS TEA PARTY NOT COOL</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TJMSs_QPS7I/AAAAAAAABI0/JOuHVa7Px_Q/s1600/article-1213056-0666DB48000005DC-801_634x330.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 208px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517774532562078642" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TJMSs_QPS7I/AAAAAAAABI0/JOuHVa7Px_Q/s400/article-1213056-0666DB48000005DC-801_634x330.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Victories by Tea Party candidates over Republican rino incumbents this week has got the Republican National Committee upset. Christine O'Donnell's victory over her incumbent Republican opponent Mike Castle in Delaware has even got Karl Rove, George W. Bush's campaign manager saying things that have gone against the grain of Conservatives. His own words slamming O'Donnell have done more to hurt his own image a lot more than that of Ms. O'Donnell. Rove can expect sales of his recent book to take a sharp nose dive. Castle was labled Obama's Republican; going with the Democrats on several of their agenda items.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TJMYqcv9ThI/AAAAAAAABJE/Ei91fYco9RY/s1600/190px-Castlemn.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 155px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 194px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517781086009904658" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TJMYqcv9ThI/AAAAAAAABJE/Ei91fYco9RY/s400/190px-Castlemn.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TJMYaK9pZJI/AAAAAAAABI8/NyaYPJwRuwU/s1600/Christine+O%27Donnell.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 146px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 187px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517780806357574802" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TJMYaK9pZJI/AAAAAAAABI8/NyaYPJwRuwU/s400/Christine+O%27Donnell.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They cite O'Donnells historical money problems; who hasn't had money problems? I certainly have come close to being bankrupt myself. They also have tried to paint her with having a checkerboard past; being of questionable character; accusing her of things that losing opponents resort to; slinging mud regardless whether their accusations are true or not. Nonetheless, they have nothing to do with the issues that we as a nation are facing. O'Donnell denies all these petty accusations as being false. The GOP blue bloods haven't been this irritated since Pat Robertson went up against George H.W.Bush back in 1992. Wheeling and dealing by GOP insiders managed to manipulate the primaries to make sure that George H.W. Bush got the nomination. Bush's presidency wasn't very good; a compromiser who tried to "get along" with the Democrats, was a one term, mediocre president. Again, in 2008, the same type of back room wheeling and dealing by the RNC along with the help of the media delivered to us the worst possible candidate to run against Barack Hussein Obama. They used their phony polls along with the help of the media to tell us that John McCain was the only GOP candidate that stood a chance against Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again, these Northeastern rinos have revealled their true selves by sneering at their Conservative counterparts. What this tells me is that these Washington ruling class elites are worried that they are losing control of the party. No doubt, they are going to do everything possible to paint those of us in the Tea Party as as ignorant, religious zealots, rebellious upstarts that have an intolerance for moderate Republicans and others in the GOP tent. What tent? They have come out and said that O'Donnell has no chance to win Joe Biden's old Senate seat. The Tea Party movement is continuing to grow and the entire Washington establishment is worried; not just Democrats, but Republicans as well. This DC cocktail crowd for the most part cannot see what's coming for them and a lot of them are in for a rude awakening. Those of us in the Tea Party are tired of the way we are being ignored by this present administration and we are really mad at the Republicans that we have been supporting and loyal to all these years that have gone along with President Obama's agenda. There is plenty of evidence to support the belief that there is little difference between the two major parties as far as creating bigger and bigger government and putting the burden upon on the average everyday American to support it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The RNC came out after Christine O'Donnell's shocking victory the other night and issued a statement that they would not give financial support for her. O'Donnell replied that she would go it alone if she had to, adding that their track record of backing candidates wasn't very good anyway. The RNC chairman issued a statement Wednesday amending their remarks saying "of course we are going to support Ms. O'Donnell with the maximum allowable amount of money as they will for all the winning candidates." This was said only after they were besieged with thousands of threatening emails from RNC contributors from accross the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sad fact is, the Republican establishment doesn't like our brand of conservatism. They don't want issues like abortion, homosexual marriage, and our desire for a smaller, leaner and efficient government to turn off the moderates and independent voters. They don't want to associate with the common everyday, hard working folks that we are; only our money. Although not quite as bad as the Democrats, the GOP members of the House and Senate need to wake up and realize that they work for us; not the other way around. Even if these GOP candidates that won don't win in November, their unseating the incumbent is still effective in that we have sent them a clear message. We are not going to put up with those members of the House and Senate that continue extravagantly governing our country at our expense without being held accountable. The RNC needs to be reminded that we don't need them; that it is just as easy to give to individual candidates rather than bankroll their staff and find themselves looking for a job like some of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few months ago, I predicted that there would be a battle in the Republican party. It was one of the few times that I was right. You should be aware, the Republican establishment doesn't like Sarah Palin, even though she attracts large enthusisastic crowds wherever she goes. They didn't like Ronald Reagan either, and Palin is unquestionably a Reagan Conservative. Not only that, she has a lot better track record with candidates she has endorsed than the candidates that the RNC have put up and endorsed. She is an embarrassment to those in the cocktail party Washinton ruling class and it won't surprise me if they will try the same tactics on her they tried on Christine O'Donnell if and when she decides to run for the nomination. If you listen to talk radio, you have heard those from within our party that Sarah Palin is unelectable. This coming from the people who gave us John McCain; who in their right mind is going to believe that? There's one thing the Tea Party people all agree on, and that is we are not going to let the RNC or the media tell us who our candidate will be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Jackasses on the Hill are in a panic. They are abandoning Obama and many who are seeking reelection are not asking for his help. Many subordinates within the Democrat Party, that once was tagged Obama's army are deserting their leader like rats leaving a sinking ship; only about 300 of the original 6,000 remain. The not so mainstream media are starting to recognize that the Tea Party movement is real and will have an impact on these mid term elections, but are downplaying our effectiveness and the losses won't be that big and that the Jackasses will remain in control of Congress. Many are still in denial. Some of the commentary made by so called big news media commentators is laughable, especially those at MSNBC and CNN. Obama's White House Staff are having to answer questions while their leader is on one of his many vacations or out playing golf. Obama appears to me that he his recognizes the fact that he is only going to serve one term which is why he is acting like a lame duck president. It wouldn't surprise me either that after the November elections, he tries to deceive us again saying that he has changed and is trying to redeem himself, and wants to work with the new Congress in straightening out the mess he has gotten us into. I am personally hoping this will be a massive defeat for the left and the liberals; so much so that it will take them forty years to recover. I want to see this president called up by the new Congress and tried for the many violations against our Constitution and violation of the oath of office of the president to unhold the Constitution. If this new Congress doesn't do that, then the problem will not have been solved by their taking over, but they will remain part of the problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Tea Party was birthed out of frustration for the politics as usual, and the arrogant attitude of those who we elected to office. We have decided to take matters into our own hands and if the RNC won't join in, they will be left behind. If they want to hold their nose when they go into the voting booth, let them. We've been holding our noses for years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-2385983383805958962?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/2385983383805958962/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=2385983383805958962' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/2385983383805958962'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/2385983383805958962'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2010/09/rn_16.html' title='RNC VERSUS TEA PARTY NOT COOL'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TJMSs_QPS7I/AAAAAAAABI0/JOuHVa7Px_Q/s72-c/article-1213056-0666DB48000005DC-801_634x330.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-1296605947960433132</id><published>2010-09-16T23:06:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-09-16T23:07:06.549-04:00</updated><title type='text'>RN</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-1296605947960433132?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/1296605947960433132/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=1296605947960433132' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/1296605947960433132'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/1296605947960433132'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2010/09/rn.html' title='RN'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-7259800725440685129</id><published>2010-09-11T18:46:00.009-04:00</published><updated>2010-09-11T21:40:24.344-04:00</updated><title type='text'>TOLERANCE GAVE US POLITICAL CORRECTNESS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TIwJMOvH5nI/AAAAAAAABIE/2kiKmxP4ieE/s1600/capt_a1de4e74d67f7f7908ba1cc58364c51d.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 307px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 345px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515793749340841586" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TIwJMOvH5nI/AAAAAAAABIE/2kiKmxP4ieE/s400/capt_a1de4e74d67f7f7908ba1cc58364c51d.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;September 11, 2001 is the one day that over shadows December 7, 1941. Those of us who were around a television set that day will never forget those horrific images of the burning World Trade Towers and their subsequent collapse, killing almost three thousand people just going about their daily work. Today, the President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, commemorated that unforgettable event on his weekly radio broadcast, heard by thousands of people nationwide. Whoopee! He lectured us on being tolerant toward the Muslim people. Some of his comments made me want to puke. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Friends, it's tolerance that got us where we are today. Tolerance has taken form in the practice of political correctness. Political correctneess was devised to keep people silent because we don't want to offend anyone; regardless if they are pro-abortion, a homosexual, Communist. or a Muslim. Being the bad nation that we are, according to the left wing useful idiots, we shouldn't say things that will upset them; things like the truth, for example, or they might get mad at us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Now, there is a controversy that has been going on near ground zero in Manhattan where the religion of peace wants to build a mosque so they can gloat their victory and rub it in our faces. This not &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TIwOIUpeP7I/AAAAAAAABIM/YWZDU3HZaio/s1600/MG_0282.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 345px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515799179766415282" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TIwOIUpeP7I/AAAAAAAABIM/YWZDU3HZaio/s400/MG_0282.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;only has the people of New York in an uproar, but the entire US as well. Below are some pictures of a peaceful demonstration by New Yorkers a few weeks ago when this started brewing.&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TIwOpaR3uPI/AAAAAAAABIU/gTN6Tbtg_6g/s1600/MG_00833.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515799748213717234" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TIwOpaR3uPI/AAAAAAAABIU/gTN6Tbtg_6g/s400/MG_00833.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Another demonstration is planned for Sunday, July 12. Mayor Bloomberg who is feeling the wrath of the New York voters has ordered an army of police officers to keep order at the site. The only one I see out of order are Bloomberg and his cronies who have had their palms greased. There is an angry mood in this country and if the government keeps pushing its weight around, anarchy will take over and people like Bloomberg will pray that the US Constitution, which they abhor, will save them. We can solve this whole problem by dumping a truck load of dead hogs on the proposed site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515801007753136834" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TIwPyubeCsI/AAAAAAAABIs/Gu9xqV44BlA/s400/MG_0109.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TIwPc5hLC6I/AAAAAAAABIk/U-wVw7YrehA/s1600/MG_0200.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 224px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515800632772725666" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TIwPc5hLC6I/AAAAAAAABIk/U-wVw7YrehA/s320/MG_0200.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 287px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515800103969306722" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TIwO-HknOGI/AAAAAAAABIc/dgDXF3UeHYU/s400/MG_00311.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;There has been a lot of talk recently that the sitting president of this country is a Muslim. Frankly, I believe he is; there are logical reasons as to why I believe this. I also believe that he is not legally qualified to be President of the United States; that he is either not a citizen or a dual citizen, either one disqualifies him for being president. The President can continue his string of lies; his entire life is one big lie. He can spout of his pretentious, self-righteous platitudes, lecturing us on being tolerant as long as he wants, but no body's buying it anymore. Beware, Mr. Obama, sir, the truth will find you out, as demonstrated by the number of your supporters are now abandoning you. Hopefully, when Conservatives take over next January, you will be a eunuch of a president, which won't be too difficult since you were already nuetered from the start. Hopefully, the Republicans first order of business will be to repeal all this Socialist, Marxist nonsense, and have one committee after another start a string of investigations bringing up certain members of this president's administration and Congress on corruption charges. Oh, is there ever going to be a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-7259800725440685129?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/7259800725440685129/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=7259800725440685129' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/7259800725440685129'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/7259800725440685129'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2010/09/tolerance-gave-us-political-correctness.html' title='TOLERANCE GAVE US POLITICAL CORRECTNESS'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TIwJMOvH5nI/AAAAAAAABIE/2kiKmxP4ieE/s72-c/capt_a1de4e74d67f7f7908ba1cc58364c51d.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-6393431680066325381</id><published>2010-08-07T12:00:00.010-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-07T15:00:24.998-04:00</updated><title type='text'>THE WAR HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;     Where do I begin? President Barack Hussein Obama continues his rampage of trying to ram his Marxist Socialist agenda down the throats of the American people. As he does so, he's adding to his ever growing list of Constitutional crimes against the citizens of this country. Even though his poll numbers are the worst of any president in history at this point in time in his presidency, he has demonstrated that he doesn't care; as if he believes he and the Democrats will be able to buy their re election with all the slush funds they have created from your tax dollars. Their plan all along has been to take some of the money that was supposed to go to the TARP bailouts and use it to pay for their re election campaigns. We are at war folks, make no mistake about it. Even though most polls show that every Democrat is in deep trouble, they are going to launch an all out assault of the airwaves, cable, and the Internet with political ads and infomercials against the rest of us. You think things look good for us? Well, the money hasn't begun to flow yet; the bribes and political payoffs, and the traditional October surprise the Democrats always seem to come up with along with a few dirty tricks thrown in. Add to that their smear campaigns with the assistance of the not so mainstream media. It's enough to make one vomit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;     Meanwhile, the Republicans are sitting by as if they are assured of a massive victory and have decided that doing nothing is the best course of action. They are not seizing the opportunity that they have of really offering a substantive alternative to what the Democrats are giving us. It's as if they are afraid to attack President Obama and the Democrats' policies as if this was going to hurt their chances of being elected. When you have rino Republicans like Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina who desperately wants to be a media darling on the order of John McCain with the Washington political clique, and other Republican Senators like Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine, and other Republican moderates, its enough to put doubts in one's mind if the GOP can win this mid term election this November. Lindsey Graham, by the way, voted for the affirmation of Elena Kagan for Supreme Court Justice. Another political activist judge now sits on the highest court in the land. I hope the fine people from the state where I was born wake up and see what a super charged political opportunist they have elected as one of their senators. He is definitely one of those Republican senators that need to be challenged by a real Conservative in 2012.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;     Being a member of the news media for forty years, I made a lot a friends who just happen to be African-American. As a matter of fact, during my recent illness, all of the former associates that came to visit me, were black. It has not always been that way. In my early years, I was branded a racist because of my Conservative views; mainly because I worked among Liberals at the time and they had little tolerance for a person like me. I out lasted all of them. There's one thing I have to admit though, and that is, I cannot understand the black mind set especially in the realm of politics. At the risk of alienating some of them, I find that I have to say this. I think the one thing that I didn't do that made it possible to acquire a lot of African-American friends is that I didn't discuss politics with them. Every time I tried, it was like trying to talk to a stone wall about my Conservative beliefs. I have found that when most of them hear the word Conservative, they naturally think of the days of "Bull" Connor, George Wallace, William Fullbright, Orville Faubus and other infamous segregationists. By the way, all the above mentioned were Democrats. I finally realized that people, regardless of what color they are, believe what they want to believe regardless of the truth. Meanwhile, I just let them talk, and believe me, I heard my share of Bush bashing from most of them. If you have ever taken the Dale Carnegie course on &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;How to Win Friends and Influence People, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;one of his key points in learning to make friends and influence people is to avoid arguments. According to Carnegie, sooner or later the one on the opposing side after they have talked themselves out, will become curious enough to ask what you think. Well, I tried that and I can't remember any of them ever asking me what I think. Therefore, since they won't ask, I will tell them. It was a Republican President who came up with Emancipation Proclamation, Abraham Lincoln. It was a Republican President who signed into law the Voting Rights act along with a considerable number of Republican Senators who overcame the Democrat resistance. It would not have happened had not been for Republicans. It was a Republican President, Ronald Reagan who made the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday a reality after many failed attempts by Democrats. The Republicans are not their enemy; yet ninety five percent of them will vote Democrat this fall. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;     It is the Democrats who are perpetuating the class envy and racial division in this country. The Democrats can can always count on the black vote by promising them things that they have no intention in delivering to them. I would like to say to all of them, your chosen party has bought you with broken and false promises. I would like to ask them; when are you going to wake up? If you think that President Obama is going to give you a house, a car, or a new refrigerator, just because you help vote him into office, you are fooling yourselves. It's time to forget about skin color, and stop using the race card. Your country is under attack by leftist Marxists who are nothing but liars, cheats, frauds, inside traders, political hacks and operatives and they will say or promise you anything to get elected. For a real change, why don't you listen to Herman Cain on the radio, or read commentaries by Star Parker, Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams; all black by the way, instead of listening to the rhetoric of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the NAACP? If you think I'm lying, let me ask you, how many do you know who are out of work, and did any of you get anything this President promised you? Barack Obama has failed in everything on his agenda he's tried to do except for the Obamacare which is a very watered down version of what it originally was and stands very likely to be repealed once Republicans take back the House and Senate. He blames Republicans for his failures, but the truth is that Democrats had a super majority in the Senate and a larger majority in the House. The Republicans could do nothing to stop him. It was lack of unity within his own party who is the blame.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;     The Democrats have always been very adept at blaming others for their mistakes. The current recession is a result of policies implemented by the current Congress and the President. When George W. Bush left office, we were in a mild recession with unemployment around five percent. Now its close to ten percent. The Democrats had control of both the House and Senate with a super majority, filibuster proof senate. Bush is on record as warning the Democrats that the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage companies were in trouble and needed to fixed. Chairman Barney Frank and Senators Chris Dodd and Charles Schumer said no, they didn't need fixing. Well, now the mortgage lending industry bubble has burst and they are blaming Bush. It wasn't Bush or the Republicans who forced banks into putting people in homes with hefty mortgages they couldn't possibly pay back. Its always easy to blame someone else for your mistakes. President Obama can blame George W. Bush for all his woes, however, this president is responsible for all this mess and its going to get worse. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;     Most of you have faith in God and you have to realize that you freedom and liberty are at stake. This present administration and the Democrat controlled House of Representatives and Senate are out to replace God as your true source and provider. They want to keep you in a state of want and need because they can count on you to take the bait of false promises they throw out to you. They want to keep you "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;down for the struggle&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;" as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the NAACP keep reminding you. Its all about &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;THEM CONTROLLING YOU&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. The Republicans are not your enemy; YOU are your own worst enemy by buying into the rhetoric of Jackson, Sharpton and the NAACP who long passed its usfulness and now just a bastion for corruption, and supporting the Democrat Party. Forget about skin color for once and put away the race card; they no longer affect people as they once did. It's long past time to wake up to the truth. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Why did I just get the feeling that I addressed a brick wall?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-6393431680066325381?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/6393431680066325381/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=6393431680066325381' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/6393431680066325381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/6393431680066325381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2010/08/war-has-only-just-begun.html' title='THE WAR HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-7821776923217946437</id><published>2010-08-02T21:48:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-02T10:12:48.988-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Oath Keepers</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Recently, I watched the John Adams mini-series which first appeared on HBO and now available on DVD and Blu Ray. Like many of you I was taken with the painstaking detail that author of the book, David McCullough went to in documenting the life of one, if not the most important of our founding fathers. If you haven't seen it; I highly recommend it. The reason why I bring this up is that this historical epic gives a very accurate portrayal of not just Adams, but others, like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, who were instrumental in creating our country. Turning thirteen individual British colonies into a single nation instead thirteen individual countries was nearly an impossible feat, but was done in spite of all the obstacles. The shaping of our national documents, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution alone demonstrates the tremendous faith in God of these brave men who literally faced the gallows if they failed. This is to me why these documents are sacred to the millions of us who place such importance on the cement that holds this nation together and guarantees our liberty and freedom. Yet, now, not since the time of Adams has our country been threatened; not by a foreign enemy, but from within.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don't have to be reminded of the blatant attempt by the present administration in Washington that is trying to undermine, even do away with our Constitution and turn this nation into another mediocre socialist country. I am optimistic that this attempt, even thought out and years in the planning by the liberal left will fail. I am hopeful as most of you are that the mid term elections in November will take care of those responsible but realizing that it will take years to clean up the mess they have made.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The TEA party movement has united this country like nothing has before. People are fed up with the out of control Congress and are willing to do just about anything to get their country back. About a year ago, the Obama Administration was considering recalling a number of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan to be used if any insurrection might come about. Such a move by this or any administration to use our troops against its own citizens is considered treason. Someone must informed the current occupant of the White House that would be a most unwise move to make. One reason is that our troops take an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and they will not obey an order from any politician or party, including the president to break that oath. One reason while I am safe in saying this is because of a group people who take that oath very seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe you have heard of them; maybe you haven't. The Oath Keepers is an association of active and reserve military personnel, local and state law enforcement officers, veterans and others are sworn to protect the US Constitution. Like the Tea Party movement, Oath Keepers is growing at a phenomenal rate. When I read the Oath Keepers pledge I felt good that if anything like a hostile takeover by the left will be short lived. Here is the reason why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;We will NOT obey any order to disarm the American people.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. We will NOT obey any order to conduct warrant less searches of the American people, their homes, vehicles, papers, or effects -- such as warrant less house-to house searches for weapons or persons.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. We will NOT obey any order to detain American citizens as "unlawful enemy combatants" or to subject them to trial by military tribunal.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a "state of emergency" on a state, or to enter with force into a state, without the express consent and invitation of that state’s legislature and governor. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty and declares the national government to be in violation of the compact by which that state entered the Union.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to "keep the peace" or to "maintain control" during any emergency, or under any other pretext. We will consider such use of foreign troops against our people to be an invasion and an act of war. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies, under any emergency pretext whatsoever. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10. We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;As you would expect, the left is crying "foul" and is in its usual name calling mode; calling us racists, bigots, and hate mongers. I think the majority of the right now are calloused enough to the point that it isn't taken as seriously as it once was Right now, the Jackasses in Congress are in a panic because according to tracking polls, most of them are in trouble and are facing defeat this November. They are even more dangerous when they find themselves boxed in a corner and they will try to do anything to turn things around. Even if there is a sweep in both houses of Congress this fall, they will try to ram everything they can through just for spite.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;The first American Revolution was over taxes. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Taxation without representation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; was the mantra of the day in 1776. The people got fed up being taxed to pay for England's war with France. Today, the Jackass controlled Congress is out of control and has placed this nation is debt so deep that it will take our great grandchildren to pay it off. Perhaps it is time for another revolution and for the same reason; Taxation without representation because it's obvious they are ignoring the will of the people and taxing us into the poor house.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;President Obama and his administration had better take heed because he is in danger of becoming a neutered president who could be impeached and removed from office just for the lack of confidence in his incompetence by the American people, and imprisonment if he tries to use our troops against us. Thanks to the Oath Keepers, I think that scenario is unlikely to happen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;If you would like to know more about Oath Keepers, or would like to join, go to &lt;a href="http://oathkeepers.org/"&gt;http://oathkeepers.org/&lt;/a&gt; If you are a veteran or currently serving in the armed forces, a police officer on any level, a firefighter, or just a patriotic American willing to take up arms to defend our Constitution, you are eligible. Let the left know that we mean business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-7821776923217946437?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/7821776923217946437/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=7821776923217946437' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/7821776923217946437'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/7821776923217946437'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2010/07/oath-keepers.html' title='Oath Keepers'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-6350171315739599737</id><published>2010-06-07T13:00:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-07T13:00:07.810-04:00</updated><title type='text'>IT'S STILL TOO EARLY TO DECLARE VICTORY</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;My Grandmother Casey had a couple of down home proverbs involving chickens that she told me and are as relevant today as they were fifty years ago. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Don't put all your eggs in one basket&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;don't count your chickens before they hatch.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; This is especially true in the world of politics. I have seen public opinion turn on a dime, 180 degrees practically overnight. Over confidence can be a killer and if you ask the Jackasses in the House and Senate, they saw perfect examples of this in the election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts and governorships in Virginia and New Jersey. We have a golden opportunity here in a few months to get the country moving again in the right direction in a thorough cleansing of the House and Senate. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;First, let me be perfectly clear. I am not a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Republican&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and in no way, shape, or form a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jackass&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Pure and simple, I am a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Reagan Conservative&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. It just so happens that the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Conservative &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;base thus far resides in the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;GOP.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; I have reached the teetering point and will shoot straight from the hip; I don't like &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;career&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; politicians, period, even though I have friends that are politicians, they are well aware of how I feel about their profession. When I was a photojournalist at WSBTV in Atlanta, I covered the Georgia Legislature for many years. The Jackasses controlled both House and Senate and the Spoils system was well in play (You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours) and I saw first hand how politics worked, including the back room wheeling and dealing.  After a day in the Capitol, I came away feeling sleazy. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;In Washington, Capitol Hill is crawling with career politicians who have become spoiled. Nearly all of them are just like you and me when they first went in, but now are millionaires. How does one become a millionaire when their pay is hardly enough to cover their expenses in Washington? Politicians are experts at spin and double speak; talking out of both sides of their mouth, saying what they are for without saying what they mean. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jackasses &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;just happen to be better at it than &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Republicans&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. There is an &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;anti incumbent movement&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; taking place; no politician is safe. Republicans are acting very smug that this year's mid term elections are going to give back to them both the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;House&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Senate&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Republican National Committee &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;has been telling us for some time that the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Reagan brand of conservatism&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is dead and are already telling us that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sarah Palin&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is unelectable, already raising money for the candidates they will select for us and putting out phony polls to promote their other typically wishy washy Republican candidates. The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;not so main stream media&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are also trying to plant the idea that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Palin&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is not electable. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Republicans&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; inside the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Washington beltway&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are out of touch with the rest of the country and don't have the foggiest notion that the rest of the country is anti Washington spin style politics. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;What the RNC, the not so mainstream media, and the Jackasses on the left fail to realize is that, we are not going to let them select our candidate for us&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. We are not going to allow them  to give us another John McCain. One thing is for sure; there's going to be a fight within the party.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;At this moment, I am  being critical of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;GOP&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; because I'm  going to do what I can to keep the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;GOP&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tea Party&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; united. If we are to win, we must must be of one mind and one accord. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;We must put away any notion of a third party; itself a recipe for defeat.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; The&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; RNC&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is still being run by the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Northeastern blue bloods&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; who blamed &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Conservatives &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;for &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;John McCain's&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; defeat in 2008. That is partially true because McCain did little to inspire the party to get enough of us out to the polls. Many &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Conservatives&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; saw McCain as little more than the lesser of two evils. McCain's strategy to take the high road and not answer the false accusations the Obama campaign threw at him was a losing strategy if there ever was one. His first two debates were lame, and it wasn't until the third debate that he started to challenge &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Obama&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;; too little and too late to launch any kind of offense. Looking back now, we can clearly see it was the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jackasses&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, the not so main stream media, the Northeastern blue bloods (who wanted us to believe that we had to be more like the Jackasses in order to win) that by using skewed polling data and outright fraud and deception, selected the weakest of all the candidates for us. Sorry, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Steve Schmidt&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; (McCain's campaign manager) and the rest of you Rinos;&lt;strong&gt; that's not going to happen again. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;John McCain&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is a perfect example of the career politician who wants to write himself a lasting legacy; thus we have the&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; McCain-Feingold Bill&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, of which parts of the law have been struck down by the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Supreme Court&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. The "Maverick" went against the will of his constituents trying to grant  amnesty to illegal aliens. Another GOP &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Senator, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; who like &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;McCain &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;went against the wishes of his constituents by crossing over to the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jackass&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; side of the aisle for some back room wheeling and dealing. Graham also had designs of being President, but now I am convinced that he will never see the inside of the White House except as an invited guest. Both men proved that they cannot be trusted. The people from &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Arizona&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;South Carolina&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; do not easily forget. It will be a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;major surprise to me that McCain will win the nomination for the senate seat he now holds.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; When will these &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;political opportunists&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; wake up and see that they were sent to Washington to represent the people and not to come up with new entitlement programs and raising our taxes to pay for them? The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Prescription Drug Bill&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; was the latest example of how the citizenry objected when they found out that it would be their children that would have to pay for their parents drugs. The electorate objected yet the Republicans pushed it through anyway to show the citizens they can be as benevolent as the Jackasses when it comes to giving them  your money, or rather you children's money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;The&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; Tea Party&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; movement has opened the eyes of many, having put the fear of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;God&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; into many non conservative party members. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;John McCain&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;flip flopped&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; on his position on amnesty, and&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; Lindsey Graham has returned to the reservation.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; The people in Arizona aren't so sure and have put up a genuine Conservative candidate to challenge McCain. McCain realized that his re nomination was in trouble when he pulled in some political markers from Sarah Palin to get her to stump for him. Even with Palin campaigning for McCain, it's going to be close. There is a movement to purge all Rinos and liberals from the party. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Conservatives are the number one voting block in this country&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, and are poised to take back the party and if the so called Rinos and liberals want a piece of the action, then they are the ones that will need to get on board.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;One has to wonder, why is the&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; left and the liberals and some Republicans so afraid of Sarah Palin?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;persecution of Sarah Palin&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; by the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;not so main stream media&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and the left has had the opposite effect of what they were trying to accomplish. It has only made her a stronger candidate. From what I've observed, Sarah is handling all this quite well. The primaries are still two years away, and that's plenty of time for Mrs. Palin to acquire enough political savvy to become the first woman President of the United States. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-6350171315739599737?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/6350171315739599737/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=6350171315739599737' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/6350171315739599737'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/6350171315739599737'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2010/05/its-still-too-early-to-declare-victory.html' title='IT&apos;S STILL TOO EARLY TO DECLARE VICTORY'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-3427353723918930764</id><published>2010-03-30T11:01:00.009-04:00</published><updated>2010-03-31T01:09:17.426-04:00</updated><title type='text'>DEMOCRATS CLAIM PALIN AND TEA PARTY OF INCITING HATRED AND VIOLENCE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Hogwash! The&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; Jackasses&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in Congress are now faced with having to look at the American people and pretend that they somehow have become political martyrs because they passed a vastly unpopular bill that slightly more than a third of the electorate wanted. Not only did they pass it, or rather ram it down our throats, using every dirty conniving trick imaginable, including some that had no precedent, has many constitutional lawyers stating, the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Obama Universal Health Care Law&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; will eventually be overturned by the Supreme Court. As of right now, since the law was passed with no bi-partisan support, there have been over 150 lawsuits filed, many by governors of a number of states and constitutional watch dog groups, and there's expected to be more. One such watch dog group who has been following this whole mess says that they have over fifty reasons why this law is unconstitutional and should be overturned, citing violations of parliamentary procedures when they couldn't muster enough votes for the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;nuclear option&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, a simple majority up or down vote, and unprecedented corruption throughout the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jackass Party&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;; using bribery, backroom closed door dealing, changing and even inventing new rules so that they could get their law passed even though two thirds of Americans are opposed to it. In other words, keep changing the rules until you win. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Now that Congressional approval has dropped into the single digits, and facing a mass firing this November, they are trying desperately to distract the citizenry by pretending to be the defender of the little guy and doing what is right and that they are being persecuted for it. They are also experts in painting themselves as the victim when things don't go their way. The fact is, everyone in politics, or in civilian life for that matter, regardless of what side you're on, is going to receive threats. I read once that a girl who was trying out to be a cheerleader for a high school, with the help of her mother, issued a death threat to a another cheer leading candidate. Both mother and daughter were tried and convicted for their maleficence.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jackasses&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;know that what they did was going to have far reaching ramifications. They have reached the bottom of the barrel of their scumbag tactics in blaming the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tea Par&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;ty movement in stirring up hate and violence against them. Any nincompoop can plainly see what they are up to their old tricks by levelling unfounded charges against those who disagree with them. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Scorched earth politics, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;used extensively by the Clinton Administration, has been used by the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jackasses&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; going all the way back to the Reagan Administration, using every unseemly dirty underhanded weapon they can find; including character assassination, impugning the reputation, spreading malicious gossip. using lies and slander in the process of destroying anyone who opposes them. There have been many Republicans who threw in the towel and gave up a career in public service because it wan't worth the grief for the money they were receiving. Does the name Trent Lott, Tom DeLay and George Allen ring any bells?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;no longer not so mainstream media&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; have so many leftist ideologists within their ranks that they are in lockstep with the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jackasses,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; propagandizing the voters with their left wing brand of news reporting, chronicling the news as they would like it to be and withholding the truth to suit their sordid agenda. All one has to do is to see their sliding ratings numbers, loss of revenue, numbers of people that are being laid off, their cannonball drop in the polls of their own members of Congress and their President, all of which are falling off the edge together like lemmings over a cliff. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In their feeble attempt to defend the despicable actions that define them, the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jackasses&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and their cohorts in the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;no longer not so mainstream media&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; once again are circling the wagons by counter attacking, taking on &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sarah Palin&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, and the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tea Party&lt;/em&gt; for&lt;/strong&gt; instance, accusing them of stirring up hate and insurrection in a blatant attempt to silence the truth. They claim they are receiving death threats and obscene phone messages, and their offices are being trashed. When the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jackasses&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; paraded themselves up the Capitol steps in front of the crowd of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tea Partiers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; who went to Washington to show their opposition to the bill, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jackass&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Representative&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;John Lewis of Georgia&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; claims that someone in the crowd yelled out the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"N"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; word to him and another black congressman. Of course, as usual, there was no evidence of this. As a matter of fact, the only one to receive a death threat in which their was evidence and a subsequent arrest was that of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, a Republican&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In the President's &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;State of the Union Address&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, which was more of a pep talk than a state of the union speech, he admonished the Supreme Court in front of both houses of Congress. Observing some of the expressions on the Justices' face, Obama did not do himself any favors. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Justice Roberts&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; said that Obama's remarks were troubling and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Justice Alito&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; scowled and mouthed the words &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"not true"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; when he bashed the court on their decision overturning part of the McCain-Feingold law. After a string of setbacks for the Obama administration, the President is becoming more and more confrontational, finding it difficult to blame former president, George W. Bush for his troubles. Making the late night talk shows, and now the early morning news shows, Obama is now engaged in the same rhetoric that Bill Clinton used during his administration claiming there was a vast right wing conspiracy mounted against him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Now that the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jackasses&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; have painted large targets on the back of their heads challenging any fringe nut case to make an assassination attempt because of what they did, has become a major concern for the Tea Party because most assuredly, if something like that did happen, they would be blamed for it. Not to put it passed some over zealous left wing lunatic to try something like this to start a war between the two parties, let us make it perfectly clear that we condone nothing at all in the way of violence to settle any differences we have, preferring to sweep them out of office in the election process this November. So, the next time you hear a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jackass &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;trying to paint himself as a victim, just remember it's all hot air, the same kind that is expelled from their rear ends. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-3427353723918930764?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/3427353723918930764/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=3427353723918930764' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/3427353723918930764'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/3427353723918930764'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2010/03/democrats-claim-palin-and-tea-party-of.html' title='DEMOCRATS CLAIM PALIN AND TEA PARTY OF INCITING HATRED AND VIOLENCE'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-3010888162227346066</id><published>2010-03-13T07:49:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-13T10:49:02.877-05:00</updated><title type='text'>CHANGE THE RULES UNTIL YOU WIN</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;How long must one keep beating a dead horse until it stays dead? Just when you thought the bill was all but dead, only two weeks ago, the Republicans had succeeded in stopping the Obamacare Healthcare Reform Bill without having to cast one vote. The Democrats under Nancy Pelosi in the US House of Representatives had failed to coalesce their own members into getting enough votes to pass their own bill. Even with using the Nuclear Option, a straight up or down vote with a simple majority winning, they could not get enough votes to pass the bill. During this time, President Obama was skipping around the nation speaking to union members and and other special interest groups with broad mainstream media coverage, to make it appear that these were just ordinary American citizens clamouring for health care reform as though this was still 2008 and he's still on the campaign trail. Obama met with Democrats on a couple of occasions, telling them that this bill is more important than just them; in other words, walk the plank for me so I can have my legacy. A two thirds majority of Americans do not want this bill in any way shape or form, however, that doesn't seem to matter to the Obama and some Democrats; they are simply not listening. Those Democrats like Pelosis herself, David Scott and John Lewis of Georgia, and others who are in districts where their jobs are secure are backing the President and Pelosi one hundred percent. The Democrats that don't live in secure districts are worried; that if they go along with this debacle of a plan, they will lose their seats in the upcoming elections. Those, both in the House and Senate can read the poll numbers and are aware of the outrage that will come if this thing is passed. Even though you don't have the votes, even under the ploy of the Nuclear Option, which the Democrats vehemently opposed just three years ago, are flip flopping, changing the rules once again trying to set a precedent in the House of Representatives by passing the bill without voting on it, thus undermining parliamentary procedures and the US Constitution. The scheme is then for Pelosi to take the bill to President Obama for him to sign and they will work to reconcile the bill once it becomes law. The vote is supposedly next week, but don't count on it. Things will probably going to heat up between now and then and given the track record of the Democrats lately, it still may not happen. The Republicans, in the meantime, need to hang tough and make as much noise as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passing a bill without voting on it is a new low for the Democrats. What do you expect from a party that uses deception, bait and switch, bold face lies, bribery, fraud and Chicago thug style politics to intimidate its members? Already, petitions against this are being circulated, and Republicans are getting ready for this last push by the President and the Congress to get this debacle of a bill crammed down the throats of the American people. If this passes, you can expect such outrage that the Tea Parties would seem like a high school pep rally by comparison. I would hope that Republicans have some constitutional lawyers waiting in the wings just in case this thing does pass so they can immediately take it to a district court and have the results ruled unconstitutional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing is perfectly clear out of all this. The American people don't want any part of Socialism.&lt;br /&gt;A large number of those who supported Obama in the past are beginning to wake up and see for themselves what this already an enigma of a man is all about. As Obama's approval numbers continue to plumment, many Democrats are starting to distance themselves from him; simply because they want to keep their jobs and not lose them so the messiah president can build a monument for himself. Even so, many Democrats are going to lose their jobs in November and there will be a new Congress in January. I just hope and pray that they realize this is going to happen regardless of how they vote because congressional job performance has been rated at an all time low, and  don't cast their vote just to spite the American people in retaliation. As one liberal Democrat said recently, if it's defeated this year, well introduce it again next year and the next year, and the next. What he's hoping for is for the American people to become so weary of hearing about it that they will give in and let the proponents have their way. That's going to be hard to do when you no longer have control of the House or the Senate and after the elections next fall, you'll succeed only in wasting your breath.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Daniel Casey 2010&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-3010888162227346066?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/3010888162227346066/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=3010888162227346066' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/3010888162227346066'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/3010888162227346066'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2010/03/keep-changing-rules-until-you-win.html' title='CHANGE THE RULES UNTIL YOU WIN'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-5807962881910838180</id><published>2010-02-19T07:11:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-19T05:20:22.438-05:00</updated><title type='text'>DEMOCRAT HOUSE OF CARDS IS FALLING DOWN</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The Democrats are still reeling from their worst defeat since the 2008 elections. The election of Scott Brown to replace Martha Coakley who took Edward Kennedy's Senate seat when the most powerful member of the Senate died from cancer, has sent shock waves through the Democrat Party like a triple dose of Epsom Salts. The Democrats noticed only a week before the election that Coakley was in trouble and that it was going to take an all out media blitz for her to just survive the election. Even Messiah President Obama went to Massachusetts to stump for her. Most Democrats felt that Coakley would make it through, especially since Massachusetts is the bluest of blue states. One can imagine the rudest of rude awakenings when the Dems realized that their candidate had been defeated, by a political unknown with a twenty-six point disadvantage just six weeks before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was not a wake up call for the Democrats; it was a blow upside the head. Suddenly, as if by magic, the election of Scott Brown made them realize that the electorate has had its say and that&lt;br /&gt;everyone of them are vulnerable in the 2010 mid-term elections. Add to that overturning of the McCain-Feingold law regarding campaign financing reform (I could not understand why George W. Bush didn't veto this bill) which in a five to four decision, the Supreme Court Justices returned a part of the First Amendment, Freedom of Speech, to the American people. This means that money from citizens and corporations could be donated to fund media advertisements of pushing or challenging particular causes up to the day of the election. Under McCain-Feingold, no contributions would be allowed sixty days prior to the election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big liberal spending Republican John McCain now realizes that part of his legacy has been done away. McCain, is crafty and camelion like. Lately, I have been receiving requests from his re election fund pac, and in it he is trying to come off like he is a Conservative. Personally, ever since he took part in the infamous Gang of Fourteen, seven Republicans and seven Democrats, going against Bush on a few items in his  backroom dealing with Democrats, I have not trusted him. Once he is re elected, what's going to prevent him from being the maverick and going back to his old tricks? The citizens of Arizona are very mindful of being betrayed by McCain regarding illegal immigration which is why there is another Republican, J.D. Hayworth, challenging him for his seat. Just a couple of weeks ago, Hayworth looked as if he had a chance at unseating the controversial Senator, but then McCain called in Sarah Palin to show her support for him, and now the gap between McCain and Hayworth has substantially widened. Palin had to do this for McCain even though she had rather not; but it was a political payback because if it hadn't been for McCain, Palin would still be an unknown. There are many Tea Party participants that are angry at Palin, but she had to do what she did; certainly a no win situation for her, but something she can easily recover.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader, is so far down in the polls that pollsters are saying that their is nothing to save his seat in November. As for Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, many on the left are abandoning her because she and Reid have not been able to get one item on their agenda. The War is still on in the Persian Gulf, Guantanamo is still open, the carbon tax (Cap and Trade) has not been implemented, the Global Warming hoax has been exposed, and the Universal Health Care Bill is dead. Pelosi is being challenged from her district and don't be surprised if another Scott Brown type Conservative emerges and dislodges her from her seat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there is Messiah President Obama, and his totally inept administration; a failure in everything he has tried to do except the destruction of the US economy. Talk about beating a dead horse, he once again is trying to resurrect the all but dead health care bill in cahoots with Pelosi and Reid in coming up and passing the bill for Obama to sign and then reconcile the bill once Obama has signed it. This is clearly is a last ditch attempt to get something through, but a large number of Democrats both in the House and the Senate are distancing themselves from the President. Obama has been talking tough again, calling Republicans the party of no, sounding much like he did on the campaign trail, only this time the people aren't buying it. Now trying to warm up to Republicans, whom Obama blames for his failures, his overtures are received as luke warm at best, many believing that the scheduled meeting with Republicans later on this month is nothing more than a political ploy to show that it is the Republicans that are causing the gridlock. No Mr. President, the gridlock is coming from your own party because they too are beginning to see just how radical leftist you and your ilk really are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I can say about the Vice President is, keep it up Joe; your mouth is still big enough to fit in another foot or two. In a little one on one barb exchanging between the former Vice President Dick Cheney, Biden really came off as the illiterate doofus he is, claiming that the War with Iraq wasn't worth the money, a contradiction to what he said a few years before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire Democrat Party has been targeted for defeat this November. Congress' approval have hit an unprecidented low, and President Obama's approval numbers are still in free fall. As the economy worsens, you can be certain that he will not have a second term. At the beginning of 2009, things looked very gloomy for Conservatives, but 2010 looks very promising indeed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-5807962881910838180?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/5807962881910838180/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=5807962881910838180' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/5807962881910838180'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/5807962881910838180'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2010/01/democrat-house-of-cards-is-falling-down.html' title='DEMOCRAT HOUSE OF CARDS IS FALLING DOWN'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-7688418078679542659</id><published>2009-12-26T11:08:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-26T11:40:48.538-05:00</updated><title type='text'>AVATAR: A CULT CLASSIC FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL KOOK FRINGE LEFT</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SzYzrzbaZhI/AAAAAAAABBI/YXATxWmMX6Y/s1600-h/Avatar+Promo.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419576029219546642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 226px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SzYzrzbaZhI/AAAAAAAABBI/YXATxWmMX6Y/s400/Avatar+Promo.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Like many of you, I succumbed to the advertising blitz put on by Twentieth Century Fox in pumping up the hype of James Cameron's latest excursion into fantasy with his &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;AVATAR &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;by dropping $ll.50 to watch it in the full glory of &lt;strong&gt;Imax &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;3D&lt;/strong&gt;. I am not going to tell you to save your money and wait for it to appear on DVD, or blow it off altogether. It is superb when comes to the technical merits of the film, even though I was a little disappointed that the image was not as crisp and sharp as one would expect for a film in &lt;strong&gt;Imax&lt;/strong&gt;. There were previews of coming attractions in both &lt;strong&gt;Imax&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;3D&lt;/strong&gt; that were sharper and clearer that provided something to compare it with.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419585055002927922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SzY75LF3IzI/AAAAAAAABBg/nQ5j9OFicfk/s400/avatar_(2).jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Wouldn't you like to sit down and watch a movie without having to be fed a near subliminal message promoting the Green movement, anti war, anti military, and other left wing agenda items? But of course, that's about all you get out of Hooeywood these days. Basically, the premise of the plot is simple; man is bad, having used up all the earth's natural resources; going to another planet to exploit and plunder its resources, first by destroying its greenery Amazon rain forest style. The military is very bad, using highly mechanized weaponry to displace the indigenous inhabitants of the planet much like our pioneers did when rounding up the Indians and putting them on reservations. In this movie, man didn't do it for gold, but because the cat like, yellow eye, blue skin people with tails live on top of a the largest known deposit of an element used in anti gravity transport. We are supposed to empathize with them because they are at one with nature, and even their spiritual life revolves around a great big tree. I kept saying to myself; it's only a movie; it's only a movie. The film is about forty minutes too long. I remember asking myself, how much longer is this going to go on? I don't know whether Cameron thinks we're all stupid or if he planned it to be patently obvious to what his intentions were when out spending &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Titanic&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in production costs into this excursion into the world of ludicrous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419583757193798658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SzY6toYDZAI/AAAAAAAABBY/7o6DAdhgKYk/s400/Avatar+promo+5.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Sam Worthington and Zoe Zaldana did well in their roles as did Sigourney Weaver, but the story was basic and predictable. The direction it was taking was obvious in the first ten minutes. Cameron's writing was typical for the Hooeywood tripe coming out today with its not so well hidden agenda messages. It seems that film makers today want to take credit for everything. They not only want to direct, but produce and write the script as well, which to me is egotistical, narcissistic and in this case the feeding of the insatiable leftist ego of James Cameron. Sorry Cameron, if you had allowed pre release reviews of this movie, you would not have enjoyed the smash opening you did, which I suppose was a good business decision in itself. Knowing what I know now, I would have waited for the rental DVD to satisfy my curiosity. Perhaps I shouldn't rush to judgement here; if I had won 300 million in the Big Game lottery and spent it all producing a movie, maybe I would want my name plastered as many times as I could all over it. Technically, this movie is extremely well crafted and should win awards for innovations in the special effects and artistic design departments. It's too bad that such good production values are wasted on a worn out premise. One thing for sure, this is going to be a cult classic for the environmental kook leftist fringe here and the Socialist/Marxists in the rest of the world. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419581641204736658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SzY4yds8opI/AAAAAAAABBQ/cyO6-N-oKBs/s400/001b6e5b4f7f7662f38a817d3eb3d3eb.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-7688418078679542659?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/7688418078679542659/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=7688418078679542659' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/7688418078679542659'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/7688418078679542659'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2009/12/avatar-cult-classic-for-environmental.html' title='AVATAR: A CULT CLASSIC FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL KOOK FRINGE LEFT'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SzYzrzbaZhI/AAAAAAAABBI/YXATxWmMX6Y/s72-c/Avatar+Promo.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-6285472857503755251</id><published>2009-12-24T19:04:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-25T13:03:47.341-05:00</updated><title type='text'>THE CHRISTMAS PRESENT FEW OF US WANT</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;There were doubts that Harry Reid and the US Senate would get the necessary votes to push the Obamacare Health Care bill through, but would end up deadlocked in getting the sixty votes needed to start debate. Until late last week, it was not a done deal; the bill still had to be voted on, and a lot of hope was placed on Senator Ben Nelson, Democrat from Nebraska. In the wee hours of Sunday morning, all hope was dashed when Nelson sold his vote for $100,000,000 much the same way Senator Mary Landrieu did in Louisiana, enabling the Democrats to get their bill passed without bi partisan support. The Democrats got their sixty votes ending any chance of a filibuster. I am very proud that Republicans showed solidarity and stuck to their guns despite the fact the sixty votes were finally gotten by the Democrats, even though none of them had a chance to read what was in the bill. Does that sound like prudent and responsible management of the business of the people to you? This action only proves that what we have been saying all along; this is about getting you to serve them and not about them serving the people. They are well on their way to achieving the ultimate leftist dream; the government of the government, by the government, for the government. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;The immediate reaction was that the Democrats won and the Republicans lost the battle. Polls show that an overwhelming majority of voters objected to this bill and did not want it. The Democrats ignored the polls, and the will of the people and pushed it through anyway. The reason being that this bill was not about protecting the people, but was a power grab by the political class as it is done in Europe among other Socialist, Marxist countries, about controlling the people. They have already established footholds in controlling industry, banking, education, and now health care. 2010 is an election year in the US House and Senate, the bill still has to be cleaned up and the differences must be hammered out through both houses of Congress before the bill can be taken to the President for his signature. Unless Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi succeeds in dispensing of the rules before the bill is worked out in conference committees, there will be fights between the different factions, especially in the House where most of the left wing radicals reside. The Democrats now totally own this bill; they cannot blame Republicans for its failures or for the strife that it sure to come from within the Democrat Party. The longer it takes to work these things out, the closer it gets to the 2010 elections, and as it looks based upon the most recent polling data, there will be a massive house cleaning in the House of Representatives. There will be some Senators that will lose their seats that will do away with a veto proof, filibuster proof majority that the Democrats now enjoy, and we'll have to wait until the 2012 elections for the house cleaning of the Senate to be completed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Democrats have created slush funds with your money to buy off whatever they need to win or keep the seats that they have in the upcoming elections. They are also taking a calculated risk in hoping that the American people have a short memory and that they will one day soon realize that the have been handed a tremendous gift by the Democrats in Washington. Polls indicate now that this plan is not going to work, however as we all know, anything can happen in the world of politics. Given their track record of late, the infighting that is sure to come could wipe out any progress they have made; let us hope so. This happens when you try to fill a tent that tries to include everybody. Conservatism is on the ascent and the winds of political change are beginning to wane for the Democrats. What I am saying is, its not over; not by a long shot. Even though this country went for Obama and the Democrats the last election, I still have faith in the American people that we will take corrective action at the polls late next year. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419183361879808066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 58px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SzTOjjmNmEI/AAAAAAAABBA/bri81atL2aE/s400/MERRY+CHRISTMAS.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-6285472857503755251?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/6285472857503755251/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=6285472857503755251' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/6285472857503755251'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/6285472857503755251'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2009/12/have-democrats-signed-their-own-death.html' title='THE CHRISTMAS PRESENT FEW OF US WANT'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SzTOjjmNmEI/AAAAAAAABBA/bri81atL2aE/s72-c/MERRY+CHRISTMAS.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-5894199127219414127</id><published>2009-12-01T01:53:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-07T00:42:11.878-05:00</updated><title type='text'>THE FOUR CORNERS OF DECEIT IN THE UNIVERSE OF LIES</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;May all credit be given to &lt;em&gt;Talk Radio King&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Most Influential Conservative &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SxyTcSJ6YjI/AAAAAAAABAo/MWbzNVjewKg/s1600-h/today_parcolmem44_4091_ImageFile.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412362966311526962" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 219px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 127px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SxyTcSJ6YjI/AAAAAAAABAo/MWbzNVjewKg/s400/today_parcolmem44_4091_ImageFile.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Voice in America&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Rush Limbaugh&lt;/strong&gt; on his brilliant assessment and analogy of the two spheres of thinking prevalent in American politics today. Limbaugh has appropriately called these two spheres as the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Universe of Reality&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Universe of Lies&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Within the Universe of Reality is where most of us reside. We are grounded in, firmly planted if you will, in the principles and precepts of the Judo-Christian teachings found in the Bible and in our historical documents. We adhere to those ideals that were the guiding force for our founding fathers when they drafted our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Their influence is felt in the wording of the Declaration of Independence and the Gettysburg Address. The other Universe, the Universe of Lies is one that is based on deceit, misinformation, spin, out right lies, and fraud. It is the goal and the agenda of the Left, at the present and hopefully not for long, the ones that are in charge of running the country right now to turn this exceptional nation into another second rate Socialist country. Their means to pull this off is what Limbaugh calls the Four Corners of Deceit; four distinct establishments, that touch all our lives in one way or another.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The first corner of deceit&lt;/strong&gt;, is the government. It is the Obama administration who is trying for the largest power grab in the history of this nation by taking over one fifth of our economy by instituting a colossus of a bureaucratic nightmare called Universal Health Care. Siding with misplaced Communists left over from the collapse of the old Soviet Union and the Cold War, he and his ilk want to restructure the economy of this country so that it will be fair to everybody, by taking away from those who labored and giving it to those who did not, in the form of redistribution of wealth and if has to, and if it has to bring on the collapse of our economy to accomplish this, so be it. Also, he wants complete control of the educational system so that our children will become little left wing kool aid drinkers. Think I'm kidding? Have you seen the videos of the children in some of our Northern Metropolitan areas singing praises to their leader, Obama, UMM, UMM, UMM! It is also his goal to take over the banks and major corporations, so that he can remake our economy. Why do you think that all these bailouts have government strings attached, which leads me to the question, why is it that non union workers must bail out the unions?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The second corner of deceit&lt;/strong&gt;, is the mainstream media; the New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, and big Hollywood entertainment; also scores of left wing bloggers on the Internet. They have become nothing more than agenda driven propagandists for the left. They no longer do their jobs as responsible journalists, but deliberately not cover stories that need to be covered, and spin and prop up and offer cover to those whom they support. The candidate Obama was not vetted by the mainstream media, and the man remains an enigma who has the uncanny ability to take both sides of an issue. Broadcast news anchors, Charles Gibson, Katie Couric, and Brian Williams are making so much money that if they do their jobs with integrity, they will risk losing all that money they are making. They can pretend they are truly objective, but anyone with half a brain can see that they are not. This was most evident in the 2008 campaign where they put out scewed polling data as legitimate news stories essentially influencing the electorate that John McCain was the only Republican who had a chance against a Democrat opponent. As the pollsters are now showing Obama losing support at an unprecedented rate; his job approval rating now in the mid to low forties; it looks to most political prognosticators that he will not be reelected. There is also a strong possibility that the Democrats will lose control of the House and the Senate in the 2010 elections. Recently, another perfect case in point is the manner in which they are attacking Sarah Palin; trying to get a head start on the onslaught that is yet to come, when she becomes a viable GOP candidate for President. Sarah Palin is becoming a media star much to their dismay with her ability to attract crowds by the thousands wherever she goes, and it's all they can do to diminish her influence by reporting rumors and lies as legitimate news stories concerning her.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The third corner of deceit&lt;/strong&gt; is academia. Corrupted at almost every level; from elementary school to the institutions of higher learning. Liberals have gained control; selecting much of the curriculum and succeeding in the dumbing down of students in our public schools. By rewriting the history books, and offering substitute elective subjects such as black social studies to offer a more favorable view of black history, omitting important facts and changing the truth if it interfere with the distorted version of the truth they are trying to unload on the rest of us. Our colleges and universities have become havens for social malcontents, Socialists and other radical left wing organizations. Where it used to be that our colleges were a place that encouraged free thinking and the bringing forth of new ideas, political correctness has been implemented to silence any opposition or shut down any debate to anything that the left would have us believe. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The fourth corner of deceit&lt;/strong&gt; is the scientific community. As it is now being revealed, the climate change and global warming fiasco has been nothing more than a hoax contrived by the left to be used to unite the people under a common cause so that they can push the Socialist agenda through on the rest of us. This is a scam that would eventually cost the taxpayers of this country close to a trillion dollars, taxing every aspect of our lives. As the truth has become known in the last couple of weeks with the posting of emails from a hacked site and posted on the Internet, the elaborate scheme is unravelling. Left wing newspapers like the New York Times and the Washington Post are doing all they can in discrediting the information as being illegally obtained; using the same defense that lawyers use in criminal cases in that it can't be admitted as evidence in a trial. Did anyone hear of a trial concerning this going on anywhere? Left wing Democrats are circling the wagons in defending the perps, saying that these emails do nothing to discredit the global warming cause; but then why are they badgering law enforcement to prosecute these villains? Illegal or not, the truth is being revealed as more and more of those in the corrupt scientific community are starting to bail in exchange for leniency when it comes down to the time when many of these purveyors of junk science start losing their tenure and people start going to jail. The support of Climate Change and Global Warming legislation is plummeting. Even in Copenhagen, where the hearings on these topics is to be discussed, support is in a nose dive as more and more of the emails are posted and analyzed and the information gleaned is disseminated. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Thank you Rush. You have done this country a great service. There is no substitute for the truth, and as long as you pursue the truth, your popularity will continue to grow. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412362389393535522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 485px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 65px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SxyS6s98ciI/AAAAAAAABAg/56E50AmdHV0/s400/RushTop.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;                     IN ATLANTA NEWS TALK 640 AM MONDAY -FRIDAY 12:00 -3:00PM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-5894199127219414127?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/5894199127219414127/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=5894199127219414127' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/5894199127219414127'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/5894199127219414127'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2009/12/four-corners-of-deceit-in-universe-of.html' title='THE FOUR CORNERS OF DECEIT IN THE UNIVERSE OF LIES'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SxyTcSJ6YjI/AAAAAAAABAo/MWbzNVjewKg/s72-c/today_parcolmem44_4091_ImageFile.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-1006101364153564089</id><published>2009-11-24T11:37:00.011-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-24T17:15:08.987-05:00</updated><title type='text'>THIS THANKSGIVING IS AN EXCITING TIME FOR CONSERVATIVES</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;We, as Conservatives have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. A few months ago, things looked very bleak for us on the horizon. However, much has happened recently that is starting to make our future a lot brighter. We are witnessing the disintegration of the Democrat Party. Why am I saying this? I am seeing signs that the American people are beginning to wake up. They are discovering that they have been lied to; for example, the Global Warming fiasco has been nothing but a scam from the get go. Recent postings on Internet blogs have revealed many emails and documents of a global conspiracy exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit and released 61 mega bites of confidential files onto the Internet. Once again, the Internet and Talk Radio have revealed to us the magnitude and scope of of a world wide scheme that would surrender the sovereignty of the United States to a bunch of second and third world dictators (aka, the United Nations) in forming a one world government. Of course, the Left is scurrying to cover their tracks and dumping files in order to cover up their conspiracy, and to discredit the damning information as having been illegally obtained. Many are saying now, that an insider, a whistle blower may be responsible for making the information available. The left have lied, deceived, covered up, withheld and stifled any dissemination of any evidence or commentary opposing the Global Warming and climate change scheme, which has been discovered as nothing more than a vehicle for advancing a leftist power grab in this country and around the world. The man occupying the White House presently is the face placed on this agenda, and to many, he is as much a fraud as he and what the Left represent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwwNBY_wnFI/AAAAAAAABAA/JsspQcRwGPA/s1600/DENVER+OBAMA+SIGN.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407711570106031186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwwNBY_wnFI/AAAAAAAABAA/JsspQcRwGPA/s400/DENVER+OBAMA+SIGN.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the wake of the incident that happened at Fort Hood, Texas two weeks ago, where thirteen people were killed and thirty others wounded by an Islamic fanatic disguised as a Major in the US Army, anti Muslim sentiment has been building. President Barack Obama is bearing the brunt of much of it as the above sign indicates. David Sirota, a liberal talk show host from AM 760 in Denver condemned the sign saying that "&lt;strong&gt;Conservative hatred of Barack Obama has gotten out of control&lt;/strong&gt;." May I remind Mr. Sirota and all the rest of the Liberals who for eight years attacked my President, George W. Bush on everything he did, no matter what it was; it was wrong or they could have done it better. Liberals fail to realize that &lt;strong&gt;what goes around, comes around&lt;/strong&gt;. Sirota is quick to pull the race card; that's what they do when they can't win an argument on a level playing field because they have only lies and no facts to back up anything they say. There are many patriotic Americans that share the same opinion that I do; all we want is to know the truth. The truth has nothing to do with race. Look at the two documents below; the one on the left is the certificate of live birth issued by the State of Hawaii, and the other is a purported ge&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwwcFzZ9JqI/AAAAAAAABAQ/wfap_62zS_4/s1600/lucassmithkenyabirthcertificate.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407728138589120162" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 255px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 338px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwwcFzZ9JqI/AAAAAAAABAQ/wfap_62zS_4/s400/lucassmithkenyabirthcertificate.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;nuine birth certificate issued by the hospital of birth in the African country of Kenya. The one on the left is not a genuine birth certificate, but the one Obama used to prove his citizenship. The one on the right proves that he is a citizen of Kenya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwwbuP2oSMI/AAAAAAAABAI/_-drVrP3DGI/s1600/Obama+Hawaii+Certificate+of+Live+Birth.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407727733908719810" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 261px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 241px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwwbuP2oSMI/AAAAAAAABAI/_-drVrP3DGI/s400/Obama+Hawaii+Certificate+of+Live+Birth.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwwbuP2oSMI/AAAAAAAABAI/_-drVrP3DGI/s1600/Obama+Hawaii+Certificate+of+Live+Birth.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwwbuP2oSMI/AAAAAAAABAI/_-drVrP3DGI/s1600/Obama+Hawaii+Certificate+of+Live+Birth.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Obama White House has spent over a million dollars in trying to stifle any evidence dealing with Obama's non ligitamy as President of the United States. He has yet to show any proof that he is indeed a citizen of the United States. The truth is, the evidence is mounting and I believe that in time, Obama will resign to keep from going to prison. If that happens, the Watergate Scandal of the 1970's will be trivial in comparison.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Liberals have been having a hard time lately. The Cap and Trade Bill which is tied in to the global warming fiasco has been exposed as the biggest scam ever perpetrated on the American people. Even though the US House of Representatives pushed through the Universal Health Bill, it doesn't look like its going to make it through the Senate. President Obama's job approval numbers continue to fall; he has yet to achieve anything on his agenda. The Democrat controlled House approval numbers are the lowest they have been in over forty years. With all the negative news out there, Democrats are starting to dessert a sinking ship, and in most tracking polls, it is highly likely that there will be a flip in power in the 2010 mid term elections. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The Democrat Party has been having rumblings of discontent the past few weeks. Leftists are growing ever more impatient with Obama because he has yet to bring into reality anything on their agenda. ACORN, the same group who is presently trying to reacquire Federal Funds that have been shut off as a result from the scandals involving ACORN employees teaching young women prostitutes and their pimps how to set up and run a business. While the initial wave of scandal has receded, now another scandal involving ACORN in San Diego is now surfacing as they are locating young women immigrating to the United States in finding employment as prostitutes. This is of course doesn't include the scores of complaints concerning ACORN involved in voter registration fraud.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Then there is the matter of Obama's foreign policy. He continues to bow to foreign leaders, a precedent, and the media continues to spin for him. This does not sit well with the American people. I have seen nothing on any news channels or Internet blogs that his Asian tour accomplished anything. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday Night Live&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, a long time running political satire comedy show on NBC, is now making fun of Obama, not of his appearance, but his policies, regarding basically everything from his stimulus plan and the cash for clunkers program. His indecision regarding Afghanistan is apalling and it is costing American lives. Almost daily, we are being told that a decision is coming soon. We all know the reason why Obama is doing this; he's trying to appease his base politically and again, this only demonstrates the incompetence of him and his administration. What are we to expect from an administration who gained power through deceit, lies, misinformation, glitter, and fancy rhetoric? We are witnessing a failed presidency and it leaves us all with the question, when will all the economic carnage stop? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A lot has been made of the vote that took place in the Senate last Saturday night. What that vote means is that Democrats got sixty votes to start debate. You can rest assured that Republicans are ready for this debate. There are already signs that rifts are taking place among the Democrats, and support for the Obama Universal Health Care Bill is steadily losing support. Citizens from those states that have Democrat Senators are being told by their contituents that they do not want this bill. Polling data is showing that support among the electorate has fallen below thirty eight percent. Most of the political experts that I listen to are saying that the Obama Universal Health Care Bill will be a dead issue. The Senate has to pass it in order for the President to sign it and make it law. Of course, the will stall the vote until after the new year, but the longer the Democrats stall, the more support it loses.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Another bright spot is the immigration issue. The Democrats would like nothing more than to grant amnesty to twelve million illegals in this country. Not only that, they would like to grant them fast track citizenship enabling them to vote as soon as possible. Polls again are showing that those politicians in favor of granting amnesty are in trouble. John McCain is being challenged by another Republican in the upcoming primary in Arizona, and right now he has only a two percentage point lead over his rival; but McCain has flip flopped on the issue and is now in favor of not granting blanket amnesty as he once was. McCain is finding it hard to find contributors to his campaign fund which can be explained as both being the state of the economy and those who have soured on his wayward maverick style of politics. Lindsey Graham, from South Carolina, one of the seven Republican non conservatives called the &lt;strong&gt;gang of fourteen&lt;/strong&gt;, the others being seven Democrats, who sided with McCain originally on the immigration issue, was recently censured by the State of South Carolina when he went against his constituents wishes and voted with Democrats on the Universal Health Care Bill. This may be the reason why Graham has been very vocal in opposing the Obama Administration on a number of issues recently. Apparently, Graham was called on the carpet and was read the riot act, that if he pulled such a stunt again, he would be recalled. I once had a confrontation with Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss in the parking lot of WSBTV when he sided with McCain and Lindsey Graham over the McCain-Feingold Bill which was supposed to correct the corruption in campaign contributions, which as you can tell, has not done the job that it was intended to do. There is more corruption now than there ever was. These Senators and Representatives need to be reminded that they are sent to Washington to represent the wishes of their constituency and not to conduct business as usual in back rooms or as they seem to think it needs to be. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;We have a lot to be Thankful to God for and we must not lose sight of those principles and precepts that our forefathers fought so hard for, and the gallant men and women who gave their lives in preserving this, the Greatest Nation on Earth. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Dan Casey 2009&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-1006101364153564089?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/1006101364153564089/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=1006101364153564089' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/1006101364153564089'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/1006101364153564089'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2009/11/this-thanksgiving-is-exciting-time-for.html' title='THIS THANKSGIVING IS AN EXCITING TIME FOR CONSERVATIVES'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwwNBY_wnFI/AAAAAAAABAA/JsspQcRwGPA/s72-c/DENVER+OBAMA+SIGN.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-7758691597207939636</id><published>2009-11-19T16:12:00.013-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-19T19:12:28.610-05:00</updated><title type='text'>PALIN SNOWBALL STARTING TO ROLL</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwXbi7yN52I/AAAAAAAAA_w/dJ3yen1VKuI/s1600/Sarah+Oprah+1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405968320938501986" style="DISPLAY: block;

The station reported that Sarah Palin's appearance on Oprah was the best ratings the Oprah show had received in over two years. The numbers wouldn't probably mean anything to you, but to the TV News station, in the November ratings sweep, they couldn't have come at a better time. I am not an Oprah fan and haven't been since I discovered that she was emasculating the male population of this country turning them into a bunch Mr. Moms. I did watch the show and I'll have to admit that Oprah seemed to be very fair in her interview with Sarah. Oprah is a woman who likes to surround herself with those that possess star power, usually people like Tom Cruise and Tyra Banks; in other words people in the entertainment world. I thought the interview went well even though it dealt more with Sarah and her family's private life than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405927636046527698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 224px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwW2iwwFPNI/AAAAAAAAA9I/los1lMNFbTk/s400/50493548.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Wednesday, Sarah kicked off her nationwide bus tour to promote her new book&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; Going Rogue:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;An American Life&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. She arrived in Grand Rapids, Michigan, greeted by about four thousand people of all ages who braved the sub freezing temperatures all night long in line to get one or two of the thousand copies to be personally autographed autobiographies by Sarah herself. The event had the trappings of a political pep rally in which thousands were cheering and chanting, Sarah! Sarah! Sarah! There was even a country music band playing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405927865503760050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 399px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 289px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwW2wHi8vrI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/IaE2g36QUOc/s400/r2100974916.jpg" border="0" /&gt;                                                                                                                           Reuters&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405927255820262450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwW2MoTE3DI/AAAAAAAAA9A/ovDSKHGxApc/s400/going_rogue_new.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the 2008 campaign, one of the times that Palin went Rogue was when the John McCain campaign decided to pull out of Michigan because Obama had a two digit margin lead over McCain. The McCain campaign organizers were miffed because she went public in saying that she wished she could go to Michigan and tell them that the Republican party had not forgotten them. Apparently, those remarks which angered the McCain camp resonated well with the people in Michigan and they showed their appreciation by showing up as they did. Palin compared the people of Michigan to those in Alaska which comprised of Hockey Moms, and folks with traditional families and that she identifies herself as one of them. Palin, born Sarah Louise Heath, is originally from Sandpoint, Idaho, another border state with Canada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Already, the Palin book has raised the ire of McCain campaign staffers as they deny most of the charges Sarah makes about them in the book. McCain himself has gone on record defending his campaign manager Steve Schmidt and senior advisor Nicolle Wallace whom Palin accused of putting reigns with a bit to keep her from being herself and talking about the issues and attacking Obama on his weak points when McCain himself said he wanted to take the high road. When they finally realized that Palin was more of an attraction than their candidate, and having more of an effect their candidate, they removed the reigns, but then it was too late. McCain lost the election and it wasn't even close. Of course, the not so mainstream media are doing all they can to discredit the book. The Associated Press has assigned eleven reporters to fact check the book for accuracy, something they did not do with their man Obama. CNN put together a panel of judges made up of college age women, a Libertarian, a Conservative, a Republican, and an Independent to evaluate the Oprah interview; labeling it boring and lacking in substance, the area of political revelation as opposed to the soap opera aspects of the interview.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405969808922113442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwXc5i9J9aI/AAAAAAAAA_4/lM6_LeRHluc/s400/cap0004.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, as you might already know, the attacks on her have already begun by the left leaning liberal media. Palin accused Newsweek for being blatantly biased by putting a sexist photograph of her on the latest cover of their magazine. I was watching 2012, the movie, where there was a dead moose in the scene, and the comment was made by one of the actors that it looks like Sarah Palin has been here. The fact checkers at Associated Press have come up with more stuff about her past taxes. and of course Palin comes back with, "and they are still making up stuff about me" Another expose has revealed that she actually had a tanning bed in the state house; how absolutely horrendous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405928172129418386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 302px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwW3B90M_JI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/0Oa5-nTj-Lg/s400/palin_cover.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of now, Palin has not announced her intentions for the 2012 elections but there are a bevy of Republicans that are taking a serious look at the one candidate they all have to overcome if they have any hope of winning the nomination. Their hope lies in the remote possibility that Sarah decides not to run. However, with receptions like the one in Grand Rapids she would be hard pressed not to run. The Palin snowball has started to roll and the intended candidates Huckabee, Romney, Pawlenty, Giuliani, Gingrich, and others yet to announce, Palin already has an advantage that will be most difficult to overcome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405957100327738658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 146px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwXRVzwJHSI/AAAAAAAAA_I/iXdoPfwiG_8/s400/top-banner.jpg" border="0" /&gt; DONATE TO THE SARAH PALIN POLITICAL ACTION&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;COMMITTEE FUND &lt;a href="http://www.sarahpac.com/"&gt;http://www.sarahpac.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dan Casey&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-7758691597207939636?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/7758691597207939636/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=7758691597207939636' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/7758691597207939636'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/7758691597207939636'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2009/11/palin-snowball-starting-to-roll.html' title='PALIN SNOWBALL STARTING TO ROLL'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SwXbi7yN52I/AAAAAAAAA_w/dJ3yen1VKuI/s72-c/Sarah+Oprah+1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-3884033851556906731</id><published>2009-10-23T01:26:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-23T06:12:56.923-04:00</updated><title type='text'>SARAH PALIN TO APPEAR ON OPRAH</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SuGBM38aAoI/AAAAAAAAA6s/np2pWdkuGGA/s1600-h/20091015-tows-cookie-johnson-1-290x218.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395735886742291074" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 290px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 218px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SuGBM38aAoI/AAAAAAAAA6s/np2pWdkuGGA/s320/20091015-tows-cookie-johnson-1-290x218.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SuF8QxEddqI/AAAAAAAAA6c/RTdAU6bsFJM/s1600-h/Oprah+Winfrey+overweight.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SuFx5bMkxQI/AAAAAAAAA6M/QiEqYB5waic/s1600-h/going_rogue_new.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395719059933545730" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SuFx5bMkxQI/AAAAAAAAA6M/QiEqYB5waic/s320/going_rogue_new.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Just when we thought that hell would freeze over before &lt;strong&gt;Oprah Winfrey&lt;/strong&gt; would ever allow &lt;strong&gt;Sarah Palin&lt;/strong&gt; on her show, the most unlikely invitation was extended to her. She will be on the show to discuss her new book on November 16, the day before the book is released. The November sweeps will be in full throttle, the most important rating period of the year. Since Oprah came out and openly supported &lt;strong&gt;Barack Hussein Obama&lt;/strong&gt; for President, both are from Chicago, &lt;strong&gt;her ratings have declined.&lt;/strong&gt; When Obama took Oprah with him to Stockholm to try and bring back the 2016 Olympics to Chicago, and the city and Obama were eliminated in the first round with only 18 votes, Orpah was handed a rude awakening. Her waning influence in this country along with her non existent influence in the rest of the world only added to the humiliation to the President as he became the laughing stock for the rest of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason Oprah was reluctant to allow Palin on her show goes back to 2000 when Ge&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SuF2dsjnZ5I/AAAAAAAAA6U/R8GdryhfazE/s1600-h/Oprah+Winfrey.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;orge W. Bush and Al Gore were running for President. Bush was a virtual unknown to most people including myself, and the images that I saw of him were of news clips of him campaigning before the primaries in different states. Oprah had Al Gore on her show, and Gore had the opportunity to go before the American people at the time when "The Oprah Winfrey Show" was at its zenith. &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SuF-WAZbVLI/AAAAAAAAA6k/WCbcV-TAPU4/s1600-h/Oprah+Winfrey+overweight.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It's no secret that Oprah is Democrat and she is a big contributor to the Democrat Party. George W. Bush jumped at the chance to be on the show when Oprah invited him. Bush made the most out his appearance by giving Americans an opportunity to see him up close and personal. Oprah admitted later that it was a big mistake, and regrets ever having Bush as a guest. If Bush had not appeared on Oprah, Gore would have more than likely would have won the presidency and the environmental nut cases would be running the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This invitation matter is a mystery for me. Why would Oprah Winfrey ask Sarah Palin to be on her show? Didn't she learn anything from her mistake in 2000? Or is it something other than just the ratings? In my opinion, I think that Oprah's rude awakening stemming from the Olympic bid has in fact opened her eyes; seeing her candidate and friend's approval numbers drop at an unprecedented rate, she's become disillusioned and now looking at Obama as nothing more than an empty suit. Seeing Sarah Palin's book jump off the charts before it has been released has stoked her curiosity and with her show needing a boost in the ratings, and the election still three years away, she is taking a calculated risk. Also, I think Oprah realizes that Sarah Palin has genuine star power, being a woman who has risen from obscurity to national prominence in less than a year, she would like to get to know such a person. Unlike Hillary Clinton, Sarah doesn't make people mad. Oprah also gets what she wants, and her curiosity concerning the title &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Going Rogue"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has piqued her interest.I seriously doubt that she would have Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, or any other male Republican candidate as a guest on her show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This past weekend, the Republican organizers, the same ones that backed John McCain all the way, met behind closed doors to discuss ways of stopping Sarah Palin and the Conservatives before Palin's snowball starts gathering momentum. A Rasmussen poll shows Palin is in third place at the moment behind Huckabee and Romney. The liberal media once again is trying to select our candidate for us by pumping up Governor Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, being called the new rising star in the Republican Party. The current crop of GOP House and Senate members with the exception of some hard boiled Conservatives have been a disappointment to me. Most Conservatives have grown weary of the Democrats blaming us for their sins and our own don't fight back with spirit and conviction, allowing us to be continuously slapped in the face. Frankly, &lt;strong&gt;I'm tired of the McCain and Bush Republicans who have turned our party into a party of wimpy moderates who keep turning the other cheek.&lt;/strong&gt; This is why most Conservatives and I like Sarah Palin and are willing to throw all our support her way. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't care much for Oprah Winfrey. I don't like what she has done in feminizing the male population, and turning a great many of them into a bunch of girly men. However, she still has a large audience Sarah Palin can take advantage of this opportunity. The election is still a long way from now and polls don't mean much other than keeping track of the popularity of the candidates. Right now, Palin is attracting only 18 percent, with Huckabee leading, Romney close behind, but once she appears on Oprah, you can expect her numbers to rise. Don't be surprised if you see her bust out of the pack. Once that happens, the other candidates are going to have to resort to hardball politics in order to gain any ground on her. Sarah Palin has already been vetted with a fine tooth comb, and she is perfectly capable of handling any attack from the other candidates and the media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Casey 23 October 2009&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-3884033851556906731?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/3884033851556906731/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=3884033851556906731' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/3884033851556906731'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/3884033851556906731'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2009/10/sarah-palin-to-appear-on-oprah.html' title='SARAH PALIN TO APPEAR ON OPRAH'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SuGBM38aAoI/AAAAAAAAA6s/np2pWdkuGGA/s72-c/20091015-tows-cookie-johnson-1-290x218.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-2679817339851975212</id><published>2009-10-17T14:42:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-17T15:53:42.340-04:00</updated><title type='text'>THE PRIDE BEFORE THE FALL</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The man who would be president of the world spoke before the United Nations Assembly in New York City a few weeks ago, and won the praise of thug dictators, delegates from European Socialist and Marxist regimes, and enemies of the United States, while at the same time thumbing his nose at our friends and allies. We are fortunate indeed that we have veto power to negate anything this group of radical psycho ward inmates come up with. The UN could come to an abrupt end if we just stopped footing the bill for the rest of the world. The biggest obstacle to prevent this from happening is our own State Department and all the bureaucracy that lies therein. As our president apologized to the rest of the world for our taking the leadership role and placing our national interests above every other country, many of us couldn't believe what we were hearing. It left many of us seething in anger after our initial reaction of wanting to vomit. One thing for certain came from all of this, Barack Hussein Obama revealed once and for all who he is, and many in his own Democrat party began distancing themselves from him. Every day that goes buy, something many of us already knew, is revealed about this enigma of a man. Every time he opens his mouth, he is either contradicting himself, flip flopping on an issue, having to spin his way out of a lie, or sticking his foot in his mouth big time. It is safe to say, Obama has lost his magic, his luster, and his great oratorical ability as his declining poll numbers are showing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;About two weeks ago, President Obama was awakened at the White House to learn that he had won the Nobel Peace Prize. He quickly accepted it, thinking that this was exactly the thing he needed to give his sagging approval rating a boost. He was given the Peace Prize when he has done nothing for peace. It turns out that the Socialist Leftist that make up the Nobel committee &lt;strong&gt;did not award him on things or accomplishments that he did in the past but what he is going to do in the future&lt;/strong&gt;. Obama now finds himself in the company of Yassir Arafat, Al Gore, Michael Gorbachev, Jimmy Carter and scores of other Euro style Marxists and Socialists and dictators. The Nobel Prize has become a joke and a mill stone around his neck. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;After eight years of Bush bashing, Obama is now feeling what it's like to be the brunt of the late night stand up comics. A furor among the liberal media developed a couple of weeks ago when a skit by Saturday Night Live poked fun at the President's failure to get anything done in his first nine months in office. Jay Leno, now in prime time and since having Conservative talk radio king Rush Limbaugh on his show and noticing the reception that Limbaugh had when he was introduced as his guest, has now officially taken aim at Obama. Now, there not a day that Leno doesn't make a joke out of something Obama said or did within the last few days. Tweaking the noses of Liberals is what I enjoy most, but seeing the radical Left going into fits of rage is absolutely funny. It seems, according to the latest polling data, that Obama is losing favor among the Libs as well the radical left as he finds it impossible to please or fulfill any the promises that he made to get their votes. We are still in Iraq, we are still in Afghanistan, Guantanamo is still open, there is no health care law, there is no green house gas (Cap and Trade) law in place, the economy is still getting worse even though they try to spin it as though it has turned around, and finding out that their biggest problem is not with the Republicans, but members in their own party.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;As more and more truth is being revealed about the Obama Administration, one thing that has been categorically denied by those in charge at the White House is there is no "White House Enemies List." As a student of history, I have to chuckle because if there was anytime that an administration needed an enemies list, it's this one. There may not be a tangible "enemies"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;list but there are other memoranda that give out implicit instructions that certain news organizations are to receive preferential treatment over others. Fox News has found it necessary to assert itself in being included on certain presidential trips and to gain access to certain areas where other mainstream media have been given. This is particularly noticeable in White House News Conferences where few questions from Fox reporters are given opportunity to ask questions. The reason of course is that they know that Fox reporters will ask the questions that the other news organizations won't or afraid to ask. Recently, Obama appeared on several Sunday political talk shows on all three major on air networks to pitch his Obamacare health plan. The truth is, he has no health plan of his own and he is banking on his suave rhetorical, oratorical skills to sway the public with more Leftist lies. He would not appear on Fox, but he would appear on the David Letterman Show; Letterman himself being exposed as the philanderer and tyrant he is. Obama's approval numbers are anywhere from forty seven to forty percent depending on which poll you're looking at. The White House issued a directive to the Democrat polling company not to do any more polls or comment on any other polls. Another independent poll was done and showed that if an election would be held today, any Republican challenger would easily defeat Barak Obama.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In December, the nations of the world are to gather in Oslo, Norway to sign a treaty that would virtually set up a world government under the auspices of the United Nations. We know that Obama would sign this treaty and join in this fiasco if given the opportunity. What we think this would do is have the United States and other wealthy countries to give up their capitalist systems and surrender their sovereignty to this consortium of psycho ward inmates to take from us and give to those others who have suffered from our exploitation of the world and them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;All this is to be under the guise of &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;global warming&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;climate change&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; because we are the world's largest contributors of global green house gases. The only gas we should be worried about is the gas which is coming from the mouths of these liars, cheats, and frauds. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;How delusional they must be if they think we the American people are willing to give up our liberty and freedom and accept a Marxist Socialist government which is made up mostly of tyrants, fascists, third world dictators, and Soviet style Communists. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;For this the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Obama, not for anything to promote peace, but for the agenda that is hoped for by the Left he will do.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Within the past two days, President Obama went to San Francisco where he was met by thousand of demonstrators. These demonstrators, even though some were Conservatives, were mostly Leftist, supporters of Obama that have grown very dissatisfied with the man because even with a Democrat controlled House and Senate is unable to get any of their agenda passed. Liberals among his own party are starting to question his logic and decision making abilities. Meanwhile, President Obama still sits like &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Humpty Dumpty&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; on his wall, smug, arrogant and condescending, and now even the not so mainstream media is beginning to ask questions. Some are beginning to see for themselves that Obama is nothing more than what we said he was, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;an empty suit.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Though I consider myself an evangelical, full gospel Christian, I try not to interject religion into this political blog. But if you asked me how a man like Barack Obama who tagged himself as the symbol of hope and change and some even called a messiah, putting himself on a pedestal fell from popularity so quickly, if I was limited to just one answer, I would have to say, &lt;strong&gt;Obama should have never picked a fight with God.&lt;/strong&gt; That's precisely what he did when he abandoned Israel and started appeasing the enemies of Israel and the United States. When it comes to &lt;em&gt;global warming and climate change&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;God is not going to be mocked&lt;/strong&gt; and certainly &lt;strong&gt;no one is going to tell Him how He is going to control His weather&lt;/strong&gt; especially when such a preposterous presumption is forced upon His people causing them to suffer so that their livelihood is stripped from them and their wealth is given to those who didn't do anything to earn it. If you are a Bible believer, which I am, you know that God stands with the nation that stands with Israel. He said when He made His Covenant with Abraham, "I will bless those that bless you, and curse those who curse you." Genesis 12:3. For a more in depth look into this premise, go to my blog, &lt;a href="http://covenantrewards.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://covenantrewards.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; and scroll down to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS YOU AND CURSE THOSE WHO CURSE YOU.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; For this reason, I sincerely believe that all the predictions concerning global warming and climate change are proving to be wrong by those who are trying to force this lie upon us in order to get us on board with the rest of the world in accepting this New World Order. Obama has nothing but failure to look to because nothing on his agenda is going to materialize. As for the big World Conference in Oslo, I predict will also fail because most of the largest world producers, China, Japan, India, Russia, and the United States are going to reject it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Confidence in the American people is one thing that offsets any fear that I may have of the menace that resides in the Left. A lot of voters, many for the first time were caught up in the fervor of the progressive notion that a non white can be President of the greatest country on earth. Very few of these new voters took into consideration what the man stood for if there was anything in his background that may cast doubt upon his qualifications. These are the ones that are going to feel it most when Humpty Dumpty falls off the wall, quickly disillusioned that this whole political process is nothing more than smoke and mirrors, spin, half truths, and outright lies. Many are going to see that the man in the White House never had any intention of paying their light bill, or buying gas for their car, or saving their home. Many will feel that they are worse off than before, while many will believe what they want to believe regardless of the truth. Meanwhile, Humpty Dumpty is still flailing away, adhering to the belief that he can talk his way out of anything.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-2679817339851975212?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/2679817339851975212/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=2679817339851975212' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/2679817339851975212'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/2679817339851975212'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2009/09/pride-before-fall.html' title='THE PRIDE BEFORE THE FALL'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-8058475722689519097</id><published>2009-10-02T15:13:00.013-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-09T03:36:00.474-04:00</updated><title type='text'>THE COMING PALIN-McCAIN SHOWDOWN</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/Ss7nlLxhTaI/AAAAAAAAA5o/PFb-rZz2fN4/s1600-h/McCain.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390500430010731938" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 285px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 262px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/Ss7nlLxhTaI/AAAAAAAAA5o/PFb-rZz2fN4/s320/McCain.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/Ss7lUDoGENI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/Zljqaesxjwo/s1600-h/McCain.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The Washington beltway Republicans are doing their best to resurrect the surefire strategy that secured the Republican defeat in 2008. They are going to do this like we haven't heard it before to attract moderates, both Democrats and Republicans, and independents. Notice, the word Conservative wasn't mentioned. In the flaming liberal rag &lt;strong&gt;Politico,&lt;/strong&gt; a new face has emerged, &lt;strong&gt;Tim Pawlenty&lt;/strong&gt;, two time governor of Minnesota is being showcased as the new rising star in the GOP. I had to laugh when I read that &lt;strong&gt;John McCain, Mr. Loser&lt;/strong&gt;, is working behind the scenes with 2008 campaign architect &lt;strong&gt;Steve Schmidt&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;now there's a winning combination if there ever was one&lt;/em&gt;, in revamping the party. After the GOP defeat in 2008, Schmidt made the TV political talk show circuit blaming Conservatives for their defeat. When I went into the voting booth, I held my nose while voting for McCain. The only reason I and a lot of other people voted for him was because it was a vote against Obama. A lot of Republicans did not bother to vote giving the reason that Obama would fail and would give us another Reagan which has proved to be disastrous for the country. The best thing that came out of the McCain run for the Presidency was his pick&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/Ss7la6IRoCI/AAAAAAAAA5g/U2jLiWWPNqE/s1600-h/Palin+campaigning3.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390498054452387874" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 411px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 262px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/Ss7la6IRoCI/AAAAAAAAA5g/U2jLiWWPNqE/s400/Palin+campaigning3.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of Sarah Palin as his VP running mate. Even while most of Obama's agenda has failed to materialize, a lot of damage has happened with our foreign policy, military and national security. The same news media that spotted Obama 25 points, securing him to be the first non white to be President of the United States also selected McCain as our nominee, the weakest possible GOP candidate by splitting the Conservative vote between Huckabee and Romney. Night after night on the evening news, using skewed polling data, it was being falsely reported that McCain was going to be the GOP nominee early in race. Now, McCain is having trouble in his reelection bid for Senator from Arizona, is having a hard time raising funds and is going to have trouble securing his own seat. The notion that he is heading up this &lt;strong&gt;effort to reshape the Republican party is absolutely ridiculous&lt;/strong&gt;. McCain and his entourage should pack it in and leave it up to the new people with fresh ideas and more in touch with mainstream America, instead of trying to become like the Democrats. If the McCain/Bush Republicans succeed in their efforts of once again excluding conservatives, their defeat will be inevitable. One possible reason is that a third party will rise up, splitting the GOP and it will secure Obama's reelection. On the other hand, the Conservative movement is on the ascent and &lt;strong&gt;the favorite Conservative candidate at this point in time is Sarah Palin&lt;/strong&gt;, even though she hasn't said anything about her future political intentions. Given the success of her new book, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Going Rogue: An American Life,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; which is already number one at Amazon and Barnes &amp;amp; Nobel more than six weeks from publication date, if won't take much to convince her to run.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The Republican Party has a lot of money and it is going to back the candidate they want to be the nominee, and Sarah Palin will not see any of that money until her nomination is secure. However, Palin's Polictical Action Committee has collected over a million and a half dollars and she hasn't even announced her intentions yet. She has paid out about $700,000 in contributions to other Conservative candidates running for governor and the House of Representatives in other states. Grass roots Conservatives like myself will contribute to Palin's campaign rather than contribute to the RNC. If Palin does well during the first few primaries early in 2012, momentum will build and once the snowball starts rolling, there will be not be any way the Republican blue bloods, the Rinos, the news media or anyone else for that matter can do to stop her. The RNC will be faced with having to accept her as the candidate, with resistance and reluctance, even trying to change the rules in which delegates are chosen, just the way they did with Reagan in 1980. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;While it is still two years away from any serious consideration, the Republican field is expected to be quite large. As it looks right now, according to the beltway pundits, Mitt Romney is the front runner. Mike Huckabee, Rudy Guliani, George Allen, Tim Pawlenty, and Sarah Palin. Already, Palin is being assailed by the Republican blue bloods and Steve Schmidt, the so called architect of the 2o08 campaign has gone on record saying that Sarah Palin would be a disaster for the country. If I were a betting man, as of right now, I would put my money on Sarah Palin to be both the Republican nominee and the next President of the United States. Of course, as we all know, that in politics, anything can happen between then and now. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am definitely not in favor of starting a third party movement in this country.&lt;/strong&gt; That is exactly what the Democrats need to salvage their miserable excuse for a political party. If you look at the numbers, the &lt;strong&gt;Conservatives are the largest voting block in this country&lt;/strong&gt;. With all the TEA parties and townhall meetings where Conservatives have spoken up, it is clear that there is a new optimism, a stirring of rebellion against the status quo. John McCain and Steve Schmidt represent the old Republican guard that has adopted the strategy that becoming more like Democrats is the answer for regaining power. George Bush was our president for eight years and during that time he did some good things but he also went against Conservatives on a number of issues. Signing the McCain-Finegold bill which inhibits free speech in the guise of campaign finance reform and the perscription drug bill were more in line with what the Democrats are trying to do in this country. An overwhelming majority of Conservatives believe that ideology is flawed and what is causing discord among the GOP and goes against what the Republican Party stood for generations. &lt;strong&gt;Conservatives want limited government, less government intrusion into our private lives which can be interpreted as liberty, and less taxes which in itself is the catalyst for a robust economy and low unemployment.&lt;/strong&gt; George Bush did not fit the Conservative template and was not as good of a president that he could have been. During his last year in office, he burned most of his political captial and alienated some that had been loyal to him throughout his term in office; Dick Cheney, his vice president was one of them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conservatives don't need to start a third party. Conservatives need to take back the party from the Bush Republicans, the blue bloods, Rinos, and moderates&lt;/strong&gt;. They can do that if they become united under a single candidate. I believe that Sarah Palin is that person that has the star power to do it. Once the primary process gets started and Palin gets more delegates than the other candidates, don't be surprised if you see the Republicans try to change the rules and do away with the winner takes all the delegates and come up with another system to try and knock Sarah Palin out of the race. I remember when Pat Robertson, of CBN, ran as Conservative against George Herbert Walker Bush, and was racking up delegates left and right. There was an outcry from the Northeastern blue bloods that their party was being hijacked by outsiders, meaning Southern Conservatives. There was a lot of back room wheeling and dealing and George H. W. Bush became the Republican nominee. Bush won the election against Democrat Michael Dukakis, and promptly went to bed with the Democrats , after promising no new taxes and then giving us the largest tax increase in history. Bush was more of Democrat than he was a Republican, and he lost to Bill Clinton in his bid for reelection, thanks to a third party candidate that entered late in the race, named Ross Perot. Perot only got thirteen percent of the vote, but it was enough to keep George H.W. Bush from staying in office in a race he could have easily won in a two man race.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Whether the Republican Northeastern blue bloods succeed in getting their candidate, he will still have to overcome Sarah Palin. Like it or not, the blue bloods are going to have to face the fact that &lt;strong&gt;Sarah Palin is going to be the new face of the Republican Party&lt;/strong&gt;, just like they did with Reagan. Once they are faced with an overwhelming delegate count, the snowball effect will assure her of the nomination sooner than it normally would. This time, the press isn't going to be able to spot Obama 25 points nor are they going be able to uncover anything that can hurt Sarah Palin since she has already been unscrupulously vetted by an overwhelmingly biased news media. So in the meantime while I wait on the primaries to start up in two years, all requests for money from the McCain camp will find their way to the trash can. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-8058475722689519097?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/8058475722689519097/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=8058475722689519097' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/8058475722689519097'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/8058475722689519097'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2009/10/palin-mccain-showdown.html' title='THE COMING PALIN-McCAIN SHOWDOWN'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/Ss7nlLxhTaI/AAAAAAAAA5o/PFb-rZz2fN4/s72-c/McCain.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-7100556734920575330</id><published>2009-10-01T19:47:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-02T13:32:15.860-04:00</updated><title type='text'>STAR POWER: 7 WEEKS FROM RELEASE DAY AND ALREADY NO. 1 AT BARNES AND NOBLE &amp; AMAZON</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsVF9-pMj_I/AAAAAAAAA34/ag52R-4_ssc/s1600-h/top-banner.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388055643381717202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 225px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 344px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsY4D33OWNI/AAAAAAAAA4Q/KE9639n_2_0/s400/capt_d413db538b214457bb8d9b6a07c6a30f_books_palin_cover_nyet754.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsVANhEuSOI/AAAAAAAAA3o/ZViXN3hDYmk/s1600-h/palin0306_03-06-2008_T6CT2QL.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mike Huckabee doesn't have it.

Preorders for the former Alaska governor's book have made it No. 1 at Barnes &amp;amp; Noble. com and Amazon. com&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;seven weeks from it's release date.

Palin, who moved her family to San Diego, California so she could be close to her "ghost writer" Lynn Vincent, stayed out of the spotlight for the last few months so she could devote most of her time to the book. A spokesman for Harper Collins said that based on preorders, that the initial printing will probably sell out but is prepared to initiate a second printing before that happens. Already, the critics are out and are trying to trash it and it's not known if it hasn't even been put to print yet, let alone has any of them read it. The truth is, the book is already a best seller and all the Left and the critics are going to do by trashing it is help sell more copies. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsU4osz3bbI/AAAAAAAAA2w/5R771bpr_XA/s1600-h/070726-F-2616H-021_AK_Airmen_Ramstein_3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387774801093291442" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 317px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsU4osz3bbI/AAAAAAAAA2w/5R771bpr_XA/s400/070726-F-2616H-021_AK_Airmen_Ramstein_3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The Left and Democrat Liberals know that Sarah Palin is capable of garnering the same kind of fervor that got their candidate Obama in office and are scared to death of her. The &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; knows it full well because they have done their best to destroy this woman. They vetted her with a fine tooth comb, an hundred times moreso than their candidate Obama, who is still an enigma. When they couldn't find anything to disparage her, they started fishing expeditions, hoping to find something that could disqualify her as a potential candidate. When that failed, they began using the Dan Rather technique, making false charges hoping that something would stick. Before the 2008 election, Katie Couric of CBS diliberately went out of her way to confuse Palin on loaded foreign policy questions in her one on one interview; to make her look ditzy and uninformed. Couric went on the David Letterman Show following the Palin interview, denigrating her in front of a national audience. That didn't surprise me, but Letterman joining in the piling on process, did. Palin got the same treatment from Charles Gibson and Barbara Walters of ABC, and Brian Williams and Chris Mathews of NBC/MSNBC. These so called objective broadcast journalists, the so called icons of fairness and objectivity have proved they are only the face for the propaganda machine of the Left and the Liberals in the Democrat Party. Of course, they would blame talk radio and the internet for their downward spiral into the ratings toilet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsU3kGvOYjI/AAAAAAAAA2g/kvo6axldSms/s1600-h/33955_palin_newsweek03_122_363lo1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387773622642172466" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 285px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsU3kGvOYjI/AAAAAAAAA2g/kvo6axldSms/s400/33955_palin_newsweek03_122_363lo1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Why do they consider Sarah Palin the greatest menace in this country? Because she has succeeded as a woman without having to go through them. She infuriates the National Organizaton of Women because she didn't abort Trigg, her Down Syndrome son, and proved that she can be both a mother and wife, and a CEO at the same time. She wears her Christian faith on her sleeve which makes her a target for the Hollywood entertainment establishment who see her as a threat to their permissive adulterous and alternative lifestyles. She likes to hunt and fish, in which the PETA whackos find offensive, and she's in favor of developing Alaska's oil reserves which would benefit the Alaskan economy, but of course is taboo as far as the enviromentalist extremists are concerned. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387772797719278434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 226px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsU20FqR82I/AAAAAAAAA2Y/JjlYzSiJNLE/s400/Palin+and+Trigg.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Democrat Party in Alaska and the National Democrat Party did their best to neutralize her by obstructing everything she tried to do for the people of Alaska, including character assassination, launching fifteen ethics violation lawsuits against her, and using lies and rumors when attacking her and her family personally. She mounted personal legal bills of over a half million dollars, and two million dollars to the State of Alaska. She was cleared of all charges of ethics violations made against her, but her enemies weren't satisfied, coming at her from all sides, to the point when she realized she was fighting a losing battle. She faced the reality that she had lost her effectiveness to govern the people of Alaska. She had already decided that she would not seek reelection which in effect make her a lame duck governor. She thought she could better serve her state by resigning and handing over the reigns to the lieutenant governor. She shocked the political world by announcing that she was resigning her position as the CEO of Alask&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsU7AcZRKNI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/BKKY_2I0LJc/s1600-h/palin0306_03-06-2008_T6CT2QL.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;a. Once again, like sharks circling in the waters and basking in political victory, her political enemies came at her with merciless criticism, branding her a quitter among other derogatory names when times got tough. However, the citizens of Alaska and the people of the United States saw what was going on. They saw how the Leftist Democrats with the &lt;em&gt;no longer &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsVAcA9fdTI/AAAAAAAAA3w/44uZHCkiH_s/s1600-h/palin0306_03-06-2008_T6CT2QL.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387783379257095474" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 151px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsVAcA9fdTI/AAAAAAAAA3w/44uZHCkiH_s/s200/palin0306_03-06-2008_T6CT2QL.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; ganged up on Senator Ted Stephens of Alaska charging him with corruption and using his office to sell political favors. There were some Republicans that urged Stephens to not seek reelection and did nothing but offer condolences and little to nothing to support him. Those Republicans that refused to come to Stephens' aid were defeated in the election. Ted Stephens was exonerated of all charges, but only after the election when he lost his seat in the Senate, enabling the Democrats to have not only a majority, but a filibuster proof Senate. The Republicans found themselves not being able to stop anything the Democrats wanted to push through. After a few days, after the initial shock had worn off and the political experts had stated that Sarah Palin had committed political suicide, the people started to see clearly what Sarah Palin had done. She had not committed political suicide but rather &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sacrificed her queen in order to win in a game of chess. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Almost immediately following her announcement, the Sarah Palin Political Action Committee announced that there was a sizable bump in contributions to her campaign fund. She has long past the million dollar mark and that's before she has made any kind of announcement regarding her political future. After Palin's resignation became final, she was free to go on the speaking tour. She immediately set out to support candidates who were running for governorships across the country. Everywhere she went there was uproarious applause and standing ovations. Just returning from Hong Kong, she is in big demand as a speaker and she is not in the least timid when it comes to criticizing the Obama Administration over its Socialist agenda. Michael Reagan, son of the late President Ronald Reagan said at his announcement of his running for governor after Palin's introductory speech, that Sarah Palin sounded more like his father than anyone else in the political arena.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387775483516909330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsU5QbCVdxI/AAAAAAAAA24/FDvFent0D9U/s400/sarah_palin_republican_national_convention_2008_09_03_0321.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sarah Palin is the antithesis of Barack Hussein Obama. She is everything he is not. She is patriotic and will not apologize to anyone for being an American. She believes in hard work and good family values. She has good common sense, and exercises it while governing. She sold the State of Alaska's corporate jet on Ebay, telling everyone that a state with as few citizens as Alaska cannot afford and does not need a corporate jet. She connects with people, and when she is invited to participate in an event, tens of thousands of people show up, just to see and hope to get to meet her. She does not mince words; saying what she means and meaning what she says. There is no spin, double talk, or any need to lie; being up front with everything, every issue. You know where she stands on everything. This doesn't suit the Republican blue bloods of the Northeast, but neither did the one she emulates; Ronald Reagan. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387776046144026546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsU5xK_F97I/AAAAAAAAA3A/umGv_0hw1eA/s400/sarah_palin_cff_requested_231_123_185lo.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Recently, I was speaking to a friend, a paid employee in the Georgia Republican Party who worked on the Mike Huckabee campaign in 2008 and hoped to do so again in 2012. He was genuinely concerned that Sarah Palin was going to be the biggest obstacle for his candidate&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsU6TCJ6z9I/AAAAAAAAA3I/-QfS0GggE0o/s1600-h/WGCL-HD+2008-09-03_224742.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387776627889065938" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 226px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsU6TCJ6z9I/AAAAAAAAA3I/-QfS0GggE0o/s400/WGCL-HD+2008-09-03_224742.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;to get the Republican nomination, and if she caused the same kind of hoopla this time around that she did in 2008, she was going to be the clear undisputed winner. Another Republican delegate told me pretty much the same thing, however he went as far to say that if he saw that his candidate was not doing well, he was going to ditch him a get on board with Palin. The reason, he said, was that we are not going to allow the news media to select our candidate this time around. Another friend of mine, an evangelical Christian and Tea Party participant told me recently that he was going to be a Palin volunteer. I asked, what if she decides not to run? He being very bold in his answer said, she's not only going to run, but she is going to be the next President of the United States. I asked, how's that? He said, God has raised her up for this time; that there is nothing the Left, the Democrats, the news media, the Rinos, or the Northeastern blue bloods, can do to stop her. She is God's candidate and will win in a landslide. I would think that both Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee would take exception to anyone claiming to be God's candidate. However, Sarah Palin has yet to let us know what her political intentions will be. It is still two years from any serious considerations by those contemplating a run for the office of the presidency. That which is being said about her now is being said within the Conservative movement. Among hard core Conservatives, they believe that they already have their candidate, and it's Sarah Palin. Already, the no longer mainstream media is trying to minimize her presence and they aren't doing a very good job of it. An example, a writer for the New York Times wrote an article saying that Palin may be positioning herself to run as Libertarian. That's not reporting; it's wishful thinking. Why would she run as a Libertarian when she right now appears to be the strongest Republican challenger? One thing is for sure, the Left State Run Media in this country are going to pull out all the stops to make sure Sarah Palin is not the Republican nominee. I say fine since they did her a favor by vetting her with a hundred times more scrutiny than they did Barack Obama, and they couldn't come up with anything that would stick. I join with Rush Limbaugh and all the others that hope Sarah Palin's book sells five million copies. It's going to be fun watching the libs and those on the left go nuts and fall apart in front of our very eyes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387790826805355394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 146px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsVHNhPXY4I/AAAAAAAAA4I/IzV_lCgRMqM/s400/SARAHPAC.COM" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsU794BvnTI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/M6EDSNLdrrk/s1600-h/sp_photo_4.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-7100556734920575330?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/7100556734920575330/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=7100556734920575330' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/7100556734920575330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/7100556734920575330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2009/09/star-power-7-weeks-from-release-day-and.html' title='STAR POWER: 7 WEEKS FROM RELEASE DAY AND ALREADY NO. 1 AT BARNES AND NOBLE &amp; AMAZON'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SsY4D33OWNI/AAAAAAAAA4Q/KE9639n_2_0/s72-c/capt_d413db538b214457bb8d9b6a07c6a30f_books_palin_cover_nyet754.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-3969785581049893572</id><published>2009-09-22T17:23:00.015-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-23T18:59:26.919-04:00</updated><title type='text'>FAILURE!

It's too early to start dancing in the streets, but the two biggest items on the Obama and the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Left's&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; agenda appear to be doomed. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Universal Health Care&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Health Care Reform&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; which is now being touted, is divided big time in both the Democrat House and Senate with the so called &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;public option&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; all but dead. The&lt;strong&gt; Cap and Trade Bill&lt;/strong&gt; which is supposed to be used to limit the greenhouse gases that are responsible for &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Global Warming&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, is nothing but a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;tax&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; on industry and looked upon as a&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; job killer&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is also very unlikely to become law either. Now exposed as nothing more than a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Socialist power grab&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, the Left is losing on all fronts. The Republicans can do nothing to stop these bills because the Democrats have a super majority, filibuster proof Senate and have a large majority in the House of Representatives, yet the Republicans are the ones being blamed for the failure of fruition of the bills because they refuse to come on board. The fact is, the Democrats do not need one Republican vote to push these bills through. Recently, Conservative "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Blue Dog&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;" Democrats have picked up on this and are concerned that if they go along with Speaker Polosi's and the Obama Administration's proposals, that they will voted out of office in 2010. They have finally shown some backbone and have stood up to Speaker Nancy Polosi in the House, but damage is occurring at an alarming rate; our economy has been trashed, and unemployment is the highest it's been since the depression, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;unbelievable military concessions&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; have been given to the Russians, and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;our military is being seriously downsized&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; despite pleas from our Commanders on the ground in Afghanistan, saying that if we don't get forty thousand troops, the war there may be lost. As this inept, impotent, and unqualified President arrogantly displays his proficiency as a&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; community organizer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, the polls are showing a decline in support for this president and his agenda. The White House has ordered the Democrat pollster not to do any polls. They have done their best, along with the help of the big three news networks to minimize the affect of the tea parties in towns across the country and have blatantly under reported the massive Tea Party on the Mall in Washington. Obama has taken once again to the Sunday News Shows and even to the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;David Letterman Show&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; on CBS to muster support, and try to bring up his sagging 42% approval rating. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Once an approval rating drops below forty percent, there is no recovery.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; When Obama invited leaders from the House and Senate to the White House for a recent pep talk, he told them that if his Health Care Reform package did not go through that his term in office would be regarded a failure.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You would think that I would be elated at this, but in reality I have this queasiness in my stomach. What scares me is this. Obama said within the last few days that regardless if Republicans got on board or not, he would exercise the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Reconciliation rule&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, or the so called &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Nuclear option&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. This is where the bill is put to a simple up or down vote with nothing but Democrats voting for it. The Democrats have heard from their constituents, and have seen the polls; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;the American people do not want this.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Therefore, the Nuclear option will fail.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; It's almost a given that Obama will not be re elected, unless a third party conservative enters which would enable Obama to remain president. Barring that from happening, Obama will essentially become a lame duck President with nothing to lose. This is where real damage can occur when all the radical left wingers that make up his administration start using any means necessary to get their petty whacked out agenda items through while they still can. Obama's czars which are not subject to House or Senate approval can do some real damage; one example is the environmental extremists adding 132 different species of plants, insects, and animals to the endangered species list. The recent shutdown of irrigation pumps in the San &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Joachin and Sacramento River Valley of California&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, the largest agricultural producer in the country, are putting farmers out of business because of a tiny shiny blue minnow sized fish called the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Delta Smelt&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. On August 31, 2007, Federal Judge Oliver Wanger, ordered extensive water usage restrictions which caused &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;water rationing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in the area. Now, the farmers are finding themselves at the mercy of the environmentalist wackos. Instead of capturing a few thousand of these tiny fish an building an exclusive hatchery for them, they have decided to put the needs of the fish before the needs of the people. That's what happens when the &lt;strong&gt;"&lt;em&gt;Hell No, We Won't Go" &lt;/em&gt;spoiled brats and cowards of the sixties grab power with deceit, lies, political maneuvering and manipulation, out of the Marxist playbook, by any means necessary. These are the people that make up the Obama Administration. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Obama Administration is faced with other problems as well. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;ACORN&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, a rights group which has been suspected and in some cases found guilty of voter fraud faces new charges down in Florida and other states around the country. Obama and his close associate &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bill Ayers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, convicted of trying to bomb the Pentagon is closely associated with this group. An undercover documentary crew has exposed &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;ACORN employees&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; giving advice to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;prostitutes and pimps&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in how to set up a business in an impoverished area and how to avoid paying taxes, in cities like Baltimore, Washington, and New York City. In the last few days, it has been reveal led that the scam is more widespread than it was first thought. Both Houses of Congress have voted to de fund &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;ACORN.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; The group which was originally founded register minority citizens in inner city neighborhoods to vote, has hired former Massachusetts Attorney General to do an inside investigation. Already critics are saying this like the wolf guarding the hen house. The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;ACORN&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; scandal continues to grow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those of us that have opposed this president's agenda are now called, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Nazis, mobsters, and you know they are getting desperate when they start calling us racists.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Frankly, I've been called a racist so many times that it doesn't bother me anymore, because I know it's the Democrats and the Liberals on the Left who are the real racists. One thing I have noticed, that when you go to the web sites of the big three network broadcast news outlets, they have done away with means to leave them emails. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;AARP&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, historically a lobbying group supporting senior citizens, has now made it clear that they support &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Obama's Health Care Plan&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, (&lt;strong&gt;he has no plan&lt;/strong&gt;) by running ads during the NFL games and in other prime time programming. Once AARP uses up their money, they are going to find it more difficult to refill their coffers because their membership has drastically dropped off. Nevertheless, Obama is a prideful man as he continues to fight his losing battle and I predict that we will see more craziness from these people as the future unfurls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When South Carolina &lt;strong&gt;Senator Joe Wilson shouted out "YOU LIE!"&lt;/strong&gt; during Obama's address to both Houses of Congress, to push for support of his party's Health Care Reform, Democrats expressed their phony outrage and demanded an apology. Wilson apologized once and the White House accepted the apology, but there were those that thought they could make some political hay out of it. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Congressional Black Caucus&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; being one of those groups that demanded that Wilson apologize on the House floor. The Democrat House officially &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;rebuked him&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; which was &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;laughable&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; even made a House Rules list of names you could not call the President, and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Liar &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;was one. Members could not refer to him as being a&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; hypocrite, dishonest or dis ingenious&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;; how appropriate that they ban all the names that they are which was in itself a study in hypocrisy. Many of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;independents, moderates and young impressionable college age liberals&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are beginning to wake up to see the change that the President promised. Once again, the liberal press is spinning and trying to prop up this man whom they have so much of their credibility invested. When the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pew Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; last week released new polling data showing that the press' credibility here in this country is at its lowest level since the early eighties. Now, finally some of the Left leaning news media are beginning to show signs that they are getting sensitive to being called &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;propagandists.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; I remind them, all they have do is do their job the way it is supposed to be done, cover the news in a fair and balanced manner, not under reporting or failing to report legitimate news stories, and getting their facts right, the criticism will go away. I doubt that will happen any time soon and their ratings will continue the downward spiral. Don't worry, New York Times, &lt;strong&gt;Obama will come to the rescue and bail you out.&lt;/strong&gt; If you think the left leaning broadcast news media are going to change, you are delusional. As long as they have any viewers at all, they will continue to procreate their warped view of the world as they try to push their propaganda on the rest of us.

I'm not fooling myself that there will be a lot of people that will think that this is a massive right wing conspiracy to get him out of office because he is black. However, if this is to be the case, it should not end with him resigning from office, but proscecuted to the full extent of the law in a public trial where all the evidence and testimony can be seen. Discovery alone could reveal hundreds involved, including members of the House and Senate, the news media, and state and local individuals involved in the coverup. This would make the Watergate&lt;br /&gt;Scandal of the seventies look like a Sunday School picnic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;click on image to make it bigger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/Sqv-axHwKgI/AAAAAAAAA1g/Nt5j7KYxI6Q/s1600-h/lucassmithkenyabirthcertificate.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380673915640097282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 291px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/Sqv-axHwKgI/AAAAAAAAA1g/Nt5j7KYxI6Q/s400/lucassmithkenyabirthcertificate.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THIS IS A REAL OFFICIAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE COMPLETE WITH FOOTPRINT.

When Obama travelled to Hawii to visit his dying grandmother, I'm sure he as a matter of convenience made sure that everything concerning this green piece of paper that some 0ne appropriately compensated, sat down at a typewriter to fill out, was substantiated and properly presented. This is not proof of his citizenship. His own African grandmother, on record, stated that he was born in Kenya because she was there when he was born.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When Senator Joe Wilson of South Carolina yelled out, "You lie!" from the floor of President Barack Hussein Obama's address to both the House and the Senate earlier last week, the Democrats expressed their outrage, as phony as it was, saying that the senator should be censured and forced to make an apology from the floor of the House of Representatives. This was a perfect illustration in the studies of hypocrisy, typical of the Democrats. Wilson apologized to Rahm Emanuel in private, but has stated that is as far as his apology goes. Wilson showed that there is at least one Republican with enough guts to publicly standup for our side. I am appalled that there were Republicans that admonished Wilson for his improper decorum. I have personally grown very weary of limp kneed Republicans who will not stand up for our side. For eight years, we had to endure "Bush lied and people died." Of course, the not so mainstream media's convenient memory doesn't bring up that Democrats made faces, hissed and booed while President Bush was giving his State of the Union address. Wilson, told the truth, about only one of the lies that Obama was feeding to the American people. Obama's entire speech was a lie. His entire life if a lie. He is a chronic pathological liar of unprecedented proportions. He is a bigger liar than Bill Clinton. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I've had some Christian friends tell me that we should pray for our leaders. Even though I find it difficult, I do pray for Barack Hussein Obama. I pray that the Lord will keep His Angels around him; to keep him safe, and that no weapon formed against him shall prosper. The last thing I want is another martyr with his own holiday. I pray for his Salvation and that he will have a change of heart and a renewing of the mind. However, I do pray also that the truth about him will become known, whether it suits me or not, and I pray that the wicked will not succeed in their attempts to change this nation to something other than what our founders intended.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Abraham Lincoln once said, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"You can fool all the people some of the time; you can fool some people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE CASE OF THE MISSING DOCUMENTS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SqwY9EFqmeI/AAAAAAAAA1o/XdoKlNxRpvk/s1600-h/Peter+Faulk+as+Colombo.bmp"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SqwgQFSFigI/AAAAAAAAA1w/69slIc8J4E4/s1600-h/Peter+Faulk+as+Colombo.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380711115468933634" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 182px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SqwgQFSFigI/AAAAAAAAA1w/69slIc8J4E4/s200/Peter+Faulk+as+Colombo.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah . . . Sorry to bother you Mr. Obama, Sir Excuse me Mr. Obama, I mean President Obama, sir. Um . . . know you are busy and important and stuff. I mean trying to push through your universal health care bill is very important and . . . ah . . . I hate to bother you. I will only take a minute ok, sir? See, I have these missing pieces that are holding me up, and I was wondering sir, if you could take time out of your busy schedule and help me out. You know, no big deal, just some loose ends and things. Hey, you have a nice place here! You've really decorated the White House up real nice here. The wife sees how you and your wife live on TV all the time and says boy she wishes she had digs like this you know? Is that painting real? Really? Wow. I saw something like that in a museum once! Oh, sorry sir. I didn't mean to get off the track. So if you could just help me out a minute and give me some details, I will get right out of your way. I want to close this case and maybe take the wife to Coney Island or something. Ever been to Coney Island ? No, I didn't think so. . .Well, listen, anyways, I can't seem to get some information I need to wrap this up. These things seem to either be "locked" or "not available'. I'm sure it's just some oversight or glitch or something, so if you could you tell me where these things are . I . . . have them written down here somewhere . . . oh wait. Sorry about the smears. It was raining out. I'll just read it to you. Could you help me please find these things, sir?• Your Occidental College records• Your Columbia College records• Your Columbia Thesis paper• Your Harvard College records• Your Selective Service Registration• Your medical records• Your Illinois State Senate records• Your Illinois State Senate schedule• Your Law practice client list• &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;A Certified Copy of your original Birth certificate&lt;/span&gt;• Your embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth• Your Harvard Law Review articles that were published• Your University of Chicago scholarly articles• Your Record of baptism. Oh hey . . . listen! I know you are busy! Is this too much for you now? Tell you what. I will come back tomorrow. Give you some time to get these things together, you know? I know you are busy, so I will just let myself out. I will be back tomorrow. And the day after. . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ARE THE NOT SO MAINSTREAM MEDIA GOING TO PERPETUATE THE LIE? IT'S ALREADY CLEAR THAT CNN INTENDS TO DO SO. I don't put any faith in the big three news broadcasters that they are going to do the right thing either; after all, they did every thing they could to get this man elected and they will probably continue to prop him up simply because they will have to admit they failed to do their job and not carefully examine their candidate Obama. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I learned&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;back in 2000 that people are going to believe what they want to believe regardless of the truth. They will turn a blind eye and tune out any mention of the real truth and will spend the rest of their life if neccessary to convince others that what they believe is the real truth, regardless of supporting facts, or witnesses. It's sad, but I hate to think about it, that when the truth finally comes out, there are those who are going to take to the streets because they will be convinced that this whole thing is a mass, right wing conspiracy. There will be violence; there will be bloodshed, but this will have to forcibly dealt with if America is to survive as a nation. I pray to God that it doesn't have to come to this. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;John 8:32&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-2998794402294780978?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/2998794402294780978/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=2998794402294780978' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/2998794402294780978'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/2998794402294780978'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2009/09/so-you-wanted-proof.html' title='THE BIGGEST FRAUD EVER ON THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/Sqv-axHwKgI/AAAAAAAAA1g/Nt5j7KYxI6Q/s72-c/lucassmithkenyabirthcertificate.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-7945924275259433213</id><published>2009-09-06T14:39:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-06T17:31:06.572-04:00</updated><title type='text'>SORRY CHARLIE, BUT ONLY JOURNALISTS FAITHFUL TO THEIR PROFESSION ACHIEVE HONORABLE STATUS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;When ABC News anchor Charles Gibson announced his retirement last week, I admit I was somewhat surprised. After all, Gibson had achieved all that he could from his forty year career as a broadcast journalist; celebrity status, and had gotten very rich. Usually anchormen in his league keep going. Certainly, ABC had not asked him to step down, after all Gibson had been bought, gift wrapped, and delivered successfully under the guise of objectivity the left wing liberal message that his benefactors at Disney and ABC wanted to convey to the American public. I am among those who wondered whether Gibson was retiring because he had a guilty conscience, or that he wanted to be out of sight and thus out of the way when the finger of blame started pointing to the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;not so main stream media&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; when their man whom they helped get  elected as President of the United States was exposed as a liar and fraud when his administration and presidency begins to unravel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a newsman myself, I had the opportunity to work some of the same stories that Gibson did; among those, the 1988 Democratic Convention when it was held in Atlanta. Even though we were working side by side, in his professional liberal arrogance, I was one of those whom he chose to avoid and ignore. I was still employed at WSBTV News in Atlanta when Gibson sat in on one of our morning meetings when all the reporters, writers and producers got together to discuss what we would cover that day. I had planned to use that opportunity to confront Gibson and call him on his left wing bias in covering the national political beat. Unfortunately, a story broke and I was sent out, not being able to sit in on the meeting, and Gibson carried on not knowing that he had dodged a bullet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charlie Gibson is charming alright; he has a standing open invitation to every cocktail party from New York City to Washington, D.C. He is the face of ABC News and his very presence commands respect. However, I find it hard to respect a man whose bias was so blatant in the coverage of the last election political campaigns. There is an indelible imprint in my mind of how he hammered away at Republican Mitt Romney on his Mormon background, and would not let up, following up with more and more questions about his faith and religious beliefs, as if it had&lt;br /&gt;everything to do with his role as President of the United States. Not that Mitt Romney had a successful background in business and had turned not one, but two corporations around, and was a Republican governor in a very blue state, Massachusetts. I fault Romney by being too gracious and magnanimous, who should have after a warning to move on, didn't get up and walk out on the interview. By contrast, ABC used George Stephanopolis to interview Barack Obama. All the questions by Stephanopolis were soft ball pitches, correcting his misstatements, and even putting words in his mouth. Over the years, I had seen a number of Gibson's news stories and even though I thought he leaned a little to the left, I allowed him some latitude and I reserved passing judgement on him. However, that changed as it became more obvious as he became comfortable in his anchor chair that he was compromising his principles in order to please his corporate bosses because he was making so much money. Gibson realized that could quickly end if he decided to exercise his principles by going off the reservation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did Charlie Gibson step down because he had a guilty conscience? It's quite possible. Even though a rich man, abundantly financially secure, he wanted out because he was finding it very difficult living a lie; that he no longer felt good about himself because he saw himself, not as the responsible journalist in search of the truth, but as a merely the face of a propaganda machine. Perhaps by stepping down, he's going to explore other avenues much like other famous news men did; like David Brinkley and Mike Wallace; looking for a chance of redemption. It doesn't matter much to me, however, Charles Gibson is just one of many broadcast journalists who have betrayed their profession, because like Judas Iscariot, they took the money.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-7945924275259433213?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/7945924275259433213/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=7945924275259433213' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/7945924275259433213'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/7945924275259433213'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2009/09/sorry-charlie-but-only-best-journalists.html' title='SORRY CHARLIE, BUT ONLY JOURNALISTS FAITHFUL TO THEIR PROFESSION ACHIEVE HONORABLE STATUS'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-1205729652863833458</id><published>2009-08-07T04:39:00.012-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-07T07:35:42.360-04:00</updated><title type='text'>LIARS, CHEATS, FRAUDS, ANTI-SEMITIC, EURO STYLE SOCIALISTS, LABOR UNION GOONS, AND CHICAGO THUG POLITICS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SnwA9KyrtXI/AAAAAAAAA1I/bYgPy4BWSqk/s1600-h/obama_toga.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367165906787743090" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SnwA9KyrtXI/AAAAAAAAA1I/bYgPy4BWSqk/s400/obama_toga.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;THE NEW ELITIST FACES OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND THE ULTRA LEFTIST BARAQ HUSSEIN UBAMA ADMINISTRATION&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SnwA1tmkrSI/AAAAAAAAA1A/Pa4pKhTQ_M8/s1600-h/FACE+OF+THE+DEMOCRAT+PARTY.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 86px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367165778693238050" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SnwA1tmkrSI/AAAAAAAAA1A/Pa4pKhTQ_M8/s400/FACE+OF+THE+DEMOCRAT+PARTY.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING YOUR LIFE MISERABLE.

Just look at the Socialist Republic of California. As Margaret Thatcher, as I'm sure there are others who have said, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"the problem with socialism is that you soon give out of other peoples' money."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; There's also a saying that, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"so goes the way of California, so goes the rest of the country." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;It's a pity that one of the most beautiful, scenic states in the country has become the &lt;strong&gt;political cesspool&lt;/strong&gt; that it has. What's frightening to the rest of us is that our Speaker of the House of Representatives &lt;strong&gt;Nancy Pelosi&lt;/strong&gt; is from that state and is trying to push the rest of us into becoming like them. Fat chance of that happening now that universal health care and Cap and Tax are being exposed as liberal leftist sophistry and folly that most economists say would be disastrous for the country. It has been well publicized the last few weeks that California is broke, bankrupt, and facing growing unemployment.&lt;strong&gt; There are fifteen other states facing jobless numbers of more than ten percent, and they are all controlled by Democrats.&lt;/strong&gt; Governator &lt;strong&gt;Arnold Schwarzenegger&lt;/strong&gt; is now in the position of having to cut services and some social programs. There has been the suggestion placed out there that &lt;strong&gt;legalizing and taxing marijuana&lt;/strong&gt; could boost revenues by 1.2 billion. There is no way to fund the many social programs without raising taxes, again. I think that California is just about ready to join the rest of us; that they've had enough. Even the liberal left leaning Hollywood mucus membrains are starting to admit that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;they didn't vote for this.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; How convenient; where's George Bush to blame?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Now, the vote on Universal Health Care has been pushed back to October. &lt;strong&gt;Thank you blue dog Democrats.&lt;/strong&gt; I have been praying that there would be some in the Democrat Party that would stand up to Speaker Polosi and say no. I mean, NO! The President, himself, called on individuals, conservative Democrats (blue dog) putting pressure on them by saying that if his health care plan is not passed, his term as president would be ruined. I've got news for you, Mr. President. It ain't gonna happen. Now, that more people have the opportunity to study the bill, they are going to learn of the horrendous, radical leftist ideology that it contains; things like euthanasia, rationed health care for the aged, and limits on the kinds of treatments that are going to be doled out by a monstrous bureaucracy that will have to be created. People are going to see just how their elected officials have tried to rush this through before people had a chance to look at it. They are going to see the lies, the deceptions, and the faulty logic behind it. This alone could put the leftist Marxist Socialists back where they belong; in the backwoods near Eureka, California, the hippie capitol of the US, where they take pride in producing the most potent marijuana on the planet. Obama might get some semblance of reform in line or two as a token gesture to save face, but nothing anywhere near where it was originally proposed. Also, the Cap and Trade bill, designed to put limits on industry as to how much carbon emissions can be allowed, which imposes heavy penalties and taxes on industry has been exposed as the jobs killing bill that it really is. This summer has been the coolest one on record for many states, and &lt;strong&gt;global warming&lt;/strong&gt; as a political issue is slipping further down the ladder of importance in the eye of most Americans. More Americans than not think, now think that global warming is a myth; which it is. Cap and Trade may not be dead, but its future is doubtful.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;California is one state that has established its Democrat power base by making promises to deliver on social programs and services. The rich Hollywood entertainment industry was instrumental in projecting the image that they are compassionate and all inclusive, and so-so politically correct. You can come to California and be whatever you want, without fear of being shunned by the religious right, and no one will label you an adulterer even though you've been married five times, or a fornicator because you enjoy recreational sex, whether it be straight, gay, or a mix of the two. You can come to California and change your sex, and the state will even pick up the tab. You don't have to practice birth control because abortions are performed routinely and the state in some cases will pick up the tab. You can come to California and get a job, a driver's license, and receive welfare and free medical care even though you are not a citizen of this country. You can establish permanent residence by just having a baby, at taxpayers' expense, and receive all the benefits and entitlements as its citizens. And the best of all, someone else is paying for it. If you are a throwback, a hippie left over from the sixties, this is paradise, a Marxist dream come true.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;One of the major problems for California is the em balance of those who pay taxes and those who don't. In recent years, the problem of illegal immigration is one that a lot of Californians bury their head in the sand about. After all, these are the ones who drive their limos, do the housekeeping, cook their meals, and work in the Napa Valley vineyards of Nancy Pelosi and corporate farms picking the produce for the market. You don't have to pay them much or provide them with benefits because the state can make up the difference or provide them what they need. Of course, it is the ones who pay taxes that are footing the bill. Many hospital emergency rooms have had to close their doors because illegal immigrants have been using the emergency rooms as doctor's offices, treating everything else along with emergencies.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Anchor babies, the preferred way of securing permanent residence, is in much needed reform. If a baby is born on American soil, then it automatically becomes an American citizen. All the parents have to say is my baby is an American. This problem has been addressed by the California Legislature and has made its way into Federal Court. The ACLU and other Hispanic organizations have fought against any type of reform because they say that it is in direct conflict with US Constitution. How convenient; the ones who keep trying to change the Constitution use it whenever they need to protect one of their own interests. It is amazing that many of the illegals that crossed the border, illegally of course, have an attitude that this land was once theirs and somehow it was stolen from them. Where have we heard that before? Of course, not a word of that is true. When the State of Texas was formed in 1836, Sam Houston defeated Mexican Generalissimo Santa Anna, the Mexicans that were living in Texas were not deported, but allowed to stay and become Texas citizens, and later US citizens. The same was true in California. Only a handful of those crossing the border illegally were actually descended from ancestors who once lived in California.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;It is a given that if all the illegal immigrants in California would leave the state, or cross back over the border from whence they came, there would be plenty of jobs available for citizens which means they would be paying their fair share of taxes, instead of not paying taxes and sending much of their cash across the border. Less money would be spent on social programs for non citizens, health care and other benefits, and California once again would be able to pay its bills and serve the legal citizens. However, the Democrats want to grant blanket amnesty and allow all the illegals to stay so they could eventually become new Democrats at the expense of the ever decreasing number of citizens who are leaving the state because they are fed up with high taxes. New York and New Jersey are facing the same kind of problem even though not as severe.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The problem of anchor babies is not going to go away because it is a wedge issue that is just as divisive as many other issues that are facing California and the rest of the country. There is a legal solution, but enforcing it would resort to one side calling the other insensitive, heartless, and downright mean. Of course, no Californian wants to be called heartless, insensitive and mean, so they remain silent and the problem never gets confronted. California has become a victim of its own unbridled political correctness. No where in California State law is there a provision that says that parents of a child born in California has any legal rights other that those that are provided for any other non citizen. In other words, there is nothing that anyone, Mexican, Hispanic, or otherwise are entitled to certain rights and privileges simply because their child was born on California soil. Californians are going to be faced with having to make a decision, and whatever they decide, its going to set off a firestorm of controversy. California doesn't have to legislate new laws; there are already laws on the books and they must enforce them. When it comes time to leave, a visa or work permit expires, they have to go back and apply again, properly awaiting their turn. But of course, they will come back with, " mi nino es un US citizen." The person at the Department of Immigration needs to reply, "Oh! Really? Well, the baby can stay, but you have to leave."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Casey 2009&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-8927072679030757531?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/8927072679030757531/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=8927072679030757531' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/8927072679030757531'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/8927072679030757531'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2009/07/baby-can-stay-but-youve-got-to-go.html' title='THE BABY CAN STAY, BUT YOU&apos;VE GOT TO GO'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-9146963235478084616</id><published>2009-07-19T23:35:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-19T23:51:50.509-04:00</updated><title type='text'>CALLING ALL BUBBAS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I'm not trying to be funny or condescending. After all, you my friends are the backbone of this country. You are the ones who took up arms and defended this nation. You are the ones who went to the aid of those who desperately needed someone to help them in a time of tragedy or disaster. You are the ones who occupy the church pews on Sunday and pray to God for this country in times of crisis. You are the ones who proudly stand in attention whenever the Stars and Stripes pass by, or line the streets, roads and highways as a fallen hero passes. You are the ones who place your hand over your heart whenever you recite the Pledge of Allegiance. You are the ones who make the real sacrifices; the ones who are self-reliant and utilize the spirit of self determination and the desire to make one's self as good as you can make it. No, that's the last the thing I would do is to make fun of or speak demeaning of you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Even though the Left looks down on you, making a joke of you having a gun rack in your pickup. Calling you redneck, hayseed, or sod buster, and even other less charitable derrogatory names, you believe in hard work and that a man is worth his wages. You have served your country, community, your church, your schools, and your family well. However, I say this with the utmost seriousness and sobriety, you may have to be called upon again to come to the aid of your country. We are well aware of our enemies abroad, but there is a greater, more destructive enemy within the borders of this country.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;This enemy hates this country and are led by a president who has travelled to Europe, Asia, and Africa and has apologized for our inhumanity and greed. He has consorted with our enemies and has turned his back on our allies. He has told the world that we are no longer a Christian nation and that he would do everything in power to bring us in line with the rest of the world. This enemy has used deceit, out right lies and fraud to seize power in this country in the name of &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;change.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Change for what? Socialism, Marxism, Communism? The radical Left in this country with unmitigated influence from Europe is now in charge of setting the agenda and the direction of which this country should go. America, the only bastion of exceptionalism, the once proud &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Light on the Hill&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;/em&gt;as &lt;strong&gt;Ronald Reagan&lt;/strong&gt; so aptly put it, is slowly having its lifeblood sucked out of it by those who take what they will from those who worked hard for themselves and their families and give it to those who did little to nothing for it. Take from the achievers and give to the non achievers, a familiar topic on talk radio, which by the way as you well know, is under attack along with the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, the freedom of speech, and the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The political climate within this country has never been so divisive and volatile. Our Lord said to his followers, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;a man cannot serve two masters; he will love one and hate the other.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; He also said, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;a house divided against itself cannot stand. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;The&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; hope and change&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/em&gt;that was promised turns out to be socialism, and has won the support of a generation of spoil brats who have been indoctrinated by the radical socialists that teach in our college classrooms. Parents who saw to it that their children would have the best education, the best of everything else have not done their children any favors. Instead, they now have thirty year old children who are still living at home, afraid to get out of their own. Some realize that it would take many years to accumulate all their parents did, so why bother? They are content to stay at home and wait til daddy croaks leaving everything to them. Others are graduating with degrees only to discover that there aren't any jobs, or at least any lucrative ones available. Don't be surprised to see the divide also take root in families across this nation. It is part of the radical Socialist plan, whether it be Fascist, Marxist, or Communist, to create rifts in the family, pitting the children against their parents. This actually took place when the Third Reich took control of Germany prior to World War II. The Apostle Paul warned of this in his letters in the New Testament.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;The radical Left has made many promises to those on the other side of the social cultural war that is going on this very moment. Class warfare, aligning one group of citizens against another is just one method of sewing discord and class hatred among the citizens. The Left has told their supporters that it is their right to expect a lot more from the government; providing them with free housing, all of life's necessities without having to pay for them. Who is going to pay for it? The rich; the wealthy have gotten rich by taking it from them; they're just taking back what is rightfully theirs. Health care is not something that you acquire for yourself; but it is your right to have the government to treat your diseases and infirmnatives, to supply all your needs from cradle to the grave. Now we have a president, many who make reference to as a messiah, one who has promised hope and change, has promised many things but he has yet to deliver on a single one. What we have is ten percent unemployment in sixteen states. Some change. He has gone on record as saying that things are going to get worse before they get better. Better for who? Why does economic misery have to be necessary to level the playing field for some and put the ones who make this country work be taxed into poverty? We are already working for the federal, state, county, and city government in some form for five months out of the year. You don't have to look far to see that this system doesn't work; just look at California.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Why has this happened? In my opinion, we didn't pay attention. We put too much trust in our elected officials, and now the system has become corrupt. Now, that we are finally waking up to see what is happening, nothing is being done because we have become a nation of cowards. We have become afraid to speak up; political correctness has become the norm, and some fear that they may be called a racist, bigot, selfish, unpatriotic, or homophobe. Political correctness is the Lefts way of getting those who oppose their views to "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;shut up"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;; nothing more than that. Don't let anyone out there think for one moment that I am suggesting insurrection in the form of civil war between those who are ideologically opposed. I am one who believes that our liberty and our American way of life is being threatened as never before in the history of this country. What I am saying is, that it may become necessary for you defend yourself and what you believe in again; not on the foreign field, but here on American soil. I don't care what laws Congress passes; &lt;strong&gt;do not ever give up your guns, no matter what.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Be vigilant&lt;/strong&gt;. The day may come when you may have to use them. As actor Charleton Heston once said in a speech to the National Rifle Association, &lt;strong&gt;"the only way they will get my guns is out of my cold, dead hands."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;If you are offended by my remarks, thank you for taking the time to read them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-9146963235478084616?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/9146963235478084616/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=9146963235478084616' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/9146963235478084616'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/9146963235478084616'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2009/07/calling-all-bubbas.html' title='CALLING ALL BUBBAS'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-4247712674249187711</id><published>2009-07-11T10:49:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-11T10:51:04.387-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Republican'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Conservative'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='National Politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Palin'/><title type='text'>VIRTUES OF INTEGRITY AND SELF SACRIFICE HAVE THEIR OWN REWARD</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SlibvjA7zhI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/-mvSKyr4sis/s1600-h/Sarah+Palin+RNC+1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357202997912522258" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 328px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SlibvjA7zhI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/-mvSKyr4sis/s400/Sarah+Palin+RNC+1.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SlibYtKBOkI/AAAAAAAAA0I/M_nW3eoVksA/s1600-h/TSCC_PromoUHQ_005.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SliZidDohaI/AAAAAAAAA0A/YE8fP7cOVOo/s1600-h/sarah_palin_republican_national_convention_2008_09_03_0252.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SliY5JeJ2XI/AAAAAAAAAz4/To3CQxeNZCc/s1600-h/01125111_Par_89380_ImageFile.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;It has been a week now since &lt;strong&gt;Sarah Palin&lt;/strong&gt; made the announcement that she would resign near the end of this month as &lt;strong&gt;Governor of Alaska&lt;/strong&gt;. The Washington beltway insiders all sounded the death knell for her political future having been blinded by the fact that they know little to nothing as how the rest of us think even though they make their living by trying to tell the rest of us how and what to think. Far from being alone in my opinion that Mrs. Palin &lt;strong&gt;did not&lt;/strong&gt; throw in the towel as a result of the &lt;strong&gt;character assassination&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;strong&gt;politics of personal destruction&lt;/strong&gt; put forth by the &lt;strong&gt;Democrat Party&lt;/strong&gt; in Alaska, in a ruthless and relentless attack on she and her family. Nor did she resign because of the &lt;strong&gt;news media bias&lt;/strong&gt; and persecution, and disrespect in the form of &lt;strong&gt;crude humor and tasteless vulgar jokes&lt;/strong&gt; by certain individuals on &lt;strong&gt;late night television&lt;/strong&gt;. She resigned because she had lost the ability to govern because of &lt;strong&gt;obstruction&lt;/strong&gt; by the opposition party, &lt;strong&gt;frivolous lawsuits&lt;/strong&gt; of ethics violations of which she has been cleared of all fifteen, costing the citizens of Alaska two million dollars, and running up personal legal bills of a half million. Sarah Palin made a &lt;strong&gt;personal sacrifice&lt;/strong&gt;; for the good of her family as well as the citizens of Alaska. By resigning, she hands over the reigns to the lieutenant governor who is more right wing than she, thus preserving the Conservative movement. Palin is now free to move onto the national stage where she will always be welcome, drawing large crowds and receiving standing o's. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When she made her announcement, all the political pundits joined in unison that she made a mistake, a huge political blunder, and she had just as well give up any aspirations of ever being president of the United States. I'm sure that would suit the Obama administration just fine just as it would the Republican wannabes who saw her more as a nuisance than an obstable that must be overcome. Now that the fallout has settled, a clearer picture is emerging, and some, even though not all, are now saying that &lt;strong&gt;she may have done the right thing&lt;/strong&gt;. Palin's &lt;strong&gt;Political Action Committee&lt;/strong&gt; is reporting that they have received a considerable bump in contributions and that it is increasing day by day. Most Conservatives I have discussed this with feel that this was a good move on Palin's part as she moves forward to the rest of her life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palin's critics have said that she doesn't have the stomach or the resilience necessary to be a major factor in the upcoming 2012 presidential race. I could not disagree more. There has never been a woman in the history of this country that has had to go through what she has had to go through. She was vetted with a hundred times more scrutiny than Barak Obama, and did surprisingly well as a rookie while being interviewed by Katie Couric, who in my opinion, did everything in her area of expertise to make Palin look bad. Couric appeared on Letterman's late night show following her interview of Palin gloating of her journalistic expose, criticizing her lack of experience and credibility. Perhaps its Couric's lack of professional ethics and credibility that put her and CBS dead last in the evening news ratings. Couric, one day, may find herself alongside Dan Rather on the dung heap of incredulous news anchors. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Alaskan, as well as the national Democrats, think that they have succeeded in driving Sarah Palin out of office. What the Democrats fail to realize is that Conservatives make up forty-eight percent of the voters in this country. Nearly all of them have a favorable opinion of Palin and right now she's the biggest name on the news next to Michael Jackson. Unlike the juking, moonwalking weirdo that now occupies the grave, Palin's future is a lot brighter. One liberal commentator said during the week that he is afraid that the same kind of cult like fervor that put Obama in the White House may do exactly the same thing with Palin. If the economy continues to worsen, and Obama's honeymoon with the media starts to wane, no matter who the Republican nominee is, will more than likely win the presidency in much the same way Ronald Reagan did in 1980. Michael Reagan, whom Palin introduced as a candidate for governor a couple of weeks back, said that Sarah Palin sounded more like his father than any of the other Republican hopefuls. There's one thing certain; Sarah Palin is not going away and is going to be a thorn in the side of Democrats like they never imagined. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't it ironic that Sarah Palin, who has proven she has done nothing wrong, whose integrity shines and is picked up by the people who make this country work resigns her office of Governor for the good of her state, and Mark Sanford, the Governor of South Carolina who went awol from his job and ran off to have an adulturous liason in Argentina, still has not and may not resign? Realizing that Sarah Palin's future lies in the hands of Sarah Palin, and no one else, she may be holding back to see what public opinions has to say regarding her resignation. Most Conservatives, including myself, realize that its still early, nevertheless anxiously awaiting to hear what she plans to do. I would like to think that her resignation was a strategical move, much like a good chess player who would sacrafice his queen in an apparent blunder and then come back to win the game in a few moves. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-4247712674249187711?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/4247712674249187711/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=4247712674249187711' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/4247712674249187711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/4247712674249187711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2009/07/virtues-of-integrity-and-self-sacrifice.html' title='VIRTUES OF INTEGRITY AND SELF SACRIFICE HAVE THEIR OWN REWARD'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SlibvjA7zhI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/-mvSKyr4sis/s72-c/Sarah+Palin+RNC+1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-1064071324107068715</id><published>2009-07-05T22:34:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-06T00:07:55.775-04:00</updated><title type='text'>SARAH PALIN: THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE US?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SlF4jx5hSBI/AAAAAAAAAzw/1FImC5dsciM/s1600-h/sp_photo_4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355193988005578770" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 157px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SlF4jx5hSBI/AAAAAAAAAzw/1FImC5dsciM/s200/sp_photo_4.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SlF3alWRIjI/AAAAAAAAAzo/v3Tob06Dv9Q/s1600-h/WGCL-HD+2008-09-03_223354.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;When the political pundits in Washington last Friday heard that Sarah Palin was going to resign as governor of the State of Alaska on July 26, it was a bombshell. Already the character assassins were out to pick up where they left her in their quest to destroy any chances of she becoming president. The left wing bloggers on the Internet were saying that the reason why she was resigning was because she was to be indicted in a matter of which she had already been cleared while she was mayor of the town of Wasilla in that state. Palin's attorney fired a warning shot across the bow of the Washington Post and the New York Times and other news agencies that if they tried to advance this rumor as a legitimate story that she would take them to court and she would sue for defamation of character with malicious intent. So far, none have reported the rumor. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Even though Palin has not announced any of her intentions, most feel that she is getting geared up to make a run for the White House. This has not only the Obama administration concerned, but the Republican establishment is worried as well. They have reason to be nervous, Palin draws crowds everywhere she goes, and receives standing O's at every speach she gives. Most of the Conservative base is coalesced around her, and most feel that she is the front runner even though she has not given any indication that she is going to run. She was a much better campaigner than John McCain, so much so that they had to put restraints on her. When they finally loosened the reigns, it was too late. The Republican hierarchy is saying that her resigning was a fatal mistake, eliminating any chance at all that she might have had. It certainly seems reasonable for them to say that given that Mitt Romney, Mike Hucabee and probably a dozen other hopefuls are foaming at the mouths sensing that the Obama administration is doomed to failure.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Probably the most ambitious Republican candidate is Mike Hucabee. He has written a book and already making the political talk show circuit. A lot of Conservatives believe that it was Mike Hucabee that gave us Barak Hussein Obama when he refused to bow out of the race when his chances were a long shot at best. I for one felt that Mike Hucabee put his own political ambitions over the good of the country allowing John McCain to become the Republican nominee when he was considered to be the weakest of all the candidates. McCain's refusal to get down and dirty, exploit Obama's weaknesses and lack of experience, practically handed him the victory. The McCain campaign committee, typical Republican Northeastern blue bloods who have proven over and over again that they can't win elections, was as inept as usual. The best thing that came out of the McCain campaign was the introduction of Sarah Palin to the American people.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The notion by Republicans that Palin made a mistake by resigning as Governor of Alaska, may have some merit, but not enough to sway most Conservatives. Why? Since the presidential election, her political enemies in Alaska have been busy; dredging up things of which she had already been cleared of any wrong doing, ridiculing her in the press in which they were willing accomplices, even attacking her family, and filing nuisance lawsuits which was costing Alaskans millions of dollars as they tried to harass her out of office. These are the same people who leveled false charges against Senator Ted Stephens right before the senatorial election of which he later was cleared. For such a small constituent base, Alaska is no different than any other state when comes to dirty politics.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Sarah Palin is a viable candidate even though she has not formally announced her intentions. She is not afraid to stand up against Obama, and she doesn't need a teleprompter. She is in touch with the Conservative base and has demonstrated that she is level headed and has good common sense. It doesn't bother me that she resigned as Governor of Alaska, because I think she was doing what she thought was best for the state, unlike some other politicians I know. As for me, I'm putting my money on Sarah Palin&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-1064071324107068715?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/1064071324107068715/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=1064071324107068715' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/1064071324107068715'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/1064071324107068715'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2009/07/sarah-palin-next-president-of-us.html' title='SARAH PALIN: THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE US?'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SlF4jx5hSBI/AAAAAAAAAzw/1FImC5dsciM/s72-c/sp_photo_4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-7427313776688210394</id><published>2009-06-28T07:04:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-28T16:52:24.521-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics: Election 2008'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='first six months'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><title type='text'>OBAMA: THE FIRST SIX MONTHS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;As I gird myself for the onslaught of charges of racism against me for being another in a growing list of critics of Barak Hussein Obama and his administration, I need to point out that I haven't written a word criticizing the man or his policies for his first six months in office. This time a year ago, I didn't think it was possible for the greatest nation on earth to be where where we are now. I confess and forced to admit that I had much more faith in the American people and didn't realize just how effective the lies, deceit, misinformation, and slanderous smearing of our candidates by the Democrats had been. We also need to acknowledge how instrumental the national news media was in giving Obama at least a twenty five percentage point advantage in the way they covered the his campaign; not vetting the man and giving him a pass on all his gaffes, misstatements and double speak. Even now, they are nothing more than cheerleaders, giving him credit for things he had nothing to do with; ie the Somali pirates and the rescue of the captain of a pirated merchant ship.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Now the racist part.&lt;/strong&gt; The Republican Campaign Committee stated early on that the issue of race would not be an issue; of course we know, the real racists are the ones in the Democrat party, who brought up race every chance they got. They used race whenever someone dared to question the Obama facade, or inquire about his past associates and dealings. We still don't know until this day if Obama is still hooked on crack because his medical records are still being withheld. The same with his birth certificate; he has yet to produce a valid birth certificate stating that he is indeed a citizen of the United States and qualified to president. The media says that this election was not about race. It was all about race; they were determined that a black man was going to be president no matter what he stood for. There are still so many questions and very few answers. Thanks to the journalistic malpractice of the big three broadcast news organizations, and the dying print media, we know less about this president than any of the forty three others. Our academia crowed about the Ascension of our society, that we had reached a cultural milestone as it has become cool for a black man to become the most powerful man in the free world. In reality it is a study of how a former Southside Chicago crack addict with ties to a unrepentant domestic terrorists (&lt;strong&gt;William Ayers &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Bernadette Dorn&lt;/strong&gt;) and Chicago organized crime figures, Let us not fail to mention the racist &lt;strong&gt;Reverend Jerimiah Wright&lt;/strong&gt; whose church he attended for twenty years, and &lt;strong&gt;Louis Farakhan, &lt;/strong&gt;a radical Jew hating Muslim whom he spent considerable time with during the million man march in Washington, D.C. in the early nineties. Of course, none of this was revealed during the vetting process of the candidate Obama by the not so mainstream media, because there was no vetting. Thanks to the under educated masses tutored by the liberal public educational system, millions of fertile, politically correct, simple minds were primed for indoctrination into socialism in the largest power grab in history. Obama, the messiah, the savior of America, master of taking both sides of an issue, an orator, as long as he has a teleprompter, can convince his subjects that economic misery is necessary in achieving a fair and just United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the first six months, all I have seen from the Obama administration, and a few spineless and traitorous Republicans (Arlan Specter) is a lot of irresponsible spending of money that we don't have yet. The bailout of banks and lending institutions, and car companies(in reality a bailout of the labor unions)and a lot of promises that things will eventually get better, is the plan. Economists say that this is not designed to put us back on track, but to destroy capitalism as we know it; in other words, Marxism; to each man be given according to his need. Even now, Obama supporters before the election are saying, I didn't vote for this. Even Hollywood is beginning to see that when Obama says he is going to take from the rich, and redistribute the wealth, he is talking about them. I recently saw a bumper sticker on the car of an Obama supporter; My God! What have we elected? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Recently, we have seen how House Speaker Nancy Peloisi has tried to ramrod several left wing agenda items through the legislative process before the July fourth break. Rushing them through without giving the members a chance to read over the bills before voting on them. Some damage has been incurred and now it's up to the Senate to bring things to a halt. Pelosi may have over reached in trying to bully junior members of Congress into voting her radical left wing agenda; global warming and universal health care. Several Democrat moderates are acting very skittish and fear that if they go along with her, they will lose their jobs in the elections next year. Pelosi has threatened them with political paybacks if they don't. Now that the government is in the banking , automobile manufacturing, and home mortgage business, to most economists, this presents a frightening scenario. Nearly all of them are predicting an economic collapse on a world wide scale. Everything that I said that would happen if Obama was elected president is happening, and nothing seems to be working for the Democrats which is precisely what was predicted. Things are not only going to get worse before they get better according to Obama's&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;own words, they are going to get much worse. This time, they can't blame George W. Bush.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;We all have to wonder what the future holds for us. The Obama forecasters predicted that there would be ten percent unemployment by the end of the year. It's almost that now and we just entered summer. Already, Obama's job approval numbers are below those of Jimmy Carter at this point in time in his administration. The not so mainstream media keep telling us that the worst is over and there is actually a little improvement; all spin, lies designed to prop up and protect their man whom they have so much invested. In reality, nothing has improved, only gotten worse. Get ready to be taxed into poverty and a depression that will rival the one of the 1930's.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;What has Obama done in his first six months? He has proven that he knows little to nothing about economics, foreign policy, and that he can look into the camera and lie just as well as the most astute politician. The Obama administration is a house of cards; some one is going to come along a pull out one the cards and everything is going to come tumbling down. Yes, I see nothing but failure for the Obama administration on the horizon and the public is quick to learn that "&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the truth will find you out&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt; " In this case, much sooner than expected.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of you that were offended by my remarks; that's okay. I forgive you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-7427313776688210394?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/7427313776688210394/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=7427313776688210394' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/7427313776688210394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/7427313776688210394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2009/06/obama-first-six-months.html' title='OBAMA: THE FIRST SIX MONTHS'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-5756964411094723813</id><published>2008-11-04T20:39:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-05T01:15:43.039-05:00</updated><title type='text'>GOD HELP US ALL</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;THE 2008 election is over.  We lost.  I am not going to make excuses as to why I was so wrong in my predictions except to say that I had put my faith in God and the American people, and failed to realize just how gullible most of us are, and just how far to the left we have moved.  Needless to say, I am bewildered as to how I could have been so wrong. Please don't hold it against me, that I was trying to instill some hope that we  had a chance even though I knew the odds against us were great. I am not blaming God, don't misunderstand this.  I am equally &lt;strong&gt;guilty of presumption&lt;/strong&gt;, assuming that God was going to bail us out again. I don't think I have ever prayed as hard as I have the last few days. I was not only praying for victory, but an overwhelming victory.  As Christians, we have been given the authority to &lt;strong&gt;call into existence of things that are not as though they are.&lt;/strong&gt; I'm sure that there were a lot of other evangelical Christians praying as hard or more so than I.  Perhaps they were praying that &lt;strong&gt;His Will&lt;/strong&gt; would be done, and that's what happened. Perhaps &lt;strong&gt;God Will&lt;/strong&gt; was contained in the results of last evening; I don't know; I can't see the broader picture, but I am sure that He still has His hand on the United States of America.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I am reminded of a sixties protest song by Bob Dylan, &lt;em&gt;"The Times, They Are A Changin'."&lt;/em&gt;  As one line in the lyrics said, &lt;em&gt;those now first will  later be last&lt;/em&gt;. I'm sure Dylan, a leftist icon,  is realizing that his prophetic song is finally coming true.  I am disappointed, as I'm sure most of you are, but this is something we can survive and instead of dwelling on how we lost, let us plan on coalescing the conservative base, even forming our own party if we have to.  The Republican blue bloods have demonstrated once again, they don't know how to win elections, and we must boot them out if we are to ever get control of the House and Senate, and most certainly, the White House. Of course, you can expect the Northeastern Republican blue bloods, who tried to redefine conservatism,  to blame conservatives for our loss.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Democrats being in charge of the Executive Branch, and both the House and the Senate really scares me.  The last time that happened, Jimmy Carter was president.  Carter was a liberal, but he was no radical.  Four years of Carter ineptitude gave us Ronald Reagan, and under Reagan's leadership, our country prospered with unprecedented economic growth.  I remember shooting an interview with political reporter Bill Nigut, at the home of Hamilton Jordon, Carter's Chief of Staff, a few years ago, a short time before he died from cancer.  Jordan recalled that Carter was single issue, agenda minded toward civil rights and with his close association with the Martin Luther King Jr. Center and the King family, was aware that he was treading on politically unstable turf.  Jordan tried to warn Carter that he was jeopardizing his chances for reelection if he kept up the  civil rights agenda as his number one priority. Carter was highly critical of the Soviet Union's civil rights violations and diplomatic relations with the Soviets were among the lowest during the Cold War. In an act of protest, Carter kept Americans from participating in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Many Americans were outraged by this and a number of books were written of how Carter stole the dreams of hundreds of athletes.  The Soviets boycotted our 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles as retaliation.  When Carter handed over the Panama Canal to Panamanian dictator Manuel Noreiga, that angered a lot of people. He did this without consulting the  American people. Carter's lack of foreign policy experience caused him to unwisely withdraw support from the Shah of Iran, a friend and ally of the US,  which  allowed the Islamic extremists to take over Iran.  Carter's appeasement only made things worse, and the Islamic militants took 52 American hostages at the US Embassy in Tehran and  they remained prisoner there for four hundred forty-four days.  Carter authorized a Delta Force rescue, but it backfired when a sand storm came in,  causing one of our attack helicopters to crash and eight American Delta Force soldiers were killed  The mission was aborted.  The original plan was flawed and their was no contingency plan to fall back on.   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The Carter administration was in shambles, inflation and interest rates were in the double digits, gasoline prices were out of sight, and the economy was the worse since the depression; far worse than it is now, using an indicator known as the misery index. I remember refinancing my house to get some debt relief, paying 17 percent interest. The hostages were finally released the day when Ronald Reagan was sworn in as president. Reagan defeated Carter in a landslide, however Carter's legacy in dealing with radical militant Islamics is still very much a reality in the Persian Gulf and Middle East, today. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;From all that I've read, nearly all the economists are telling us that Obama's plan for the  economy is a recipe for disaster. Of course, Democrats shouldn't find it difficult to blame it on the Bush Administration and the Republicans, because Republicans for some reason don't want to get down to their level in defending themselves.  The Democrats were responsible for the financial mess on Wall Street with the collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  Even now, when the Republican strategists had a golden opportunity handed to them as a campaign issue,  some Republicans joined with Democrats in bailing them out, instead of saying, "this is your mess, you clean it up." I'm sure this is one reason some Republicans lost their reelection bid.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I'm finished making predictions.  I've done all I can.  I had put my book writing on hold while doing this blog and I will finish the work I had started,  which is  nearly finished.  I hope that changes by the new government will be thought through and slowly implemented.  I am out of debt, and my home is paid for, so I'm a lot better off than most people and I should be able to wait out the new administration, hopefully if I live long enough.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A word of advice, if you can, get out of debt.  We will see just how much faith Wall Street puts into the new administration in the next few days. Don't wait for that magic check to come in the mail because campaign promises, especially those concerning money, are seldom kept.  It comes down to this, revamping the health care industry and the environment will take priority over  you; you can count on it. Historically, anytime the Democrats give you anything, they plan to take it away later. The Democrats can't wait to get their hands on your money because they have a lot of social programs they want to get underway, and global warming and green house gases are at the top of the list. All those who voted for Obama may  wake up one day soon and discover that his mathematics doesn't work.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Abraham Lincoln in one of his essays wrote these words over 150 years ago. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You cannot help the poor, by destroying the rich.  You cannot strengthen the weak, by weakening the strong.  You cannot bring about prosperity, by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up, by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man, by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage, by taking away men's initiative and independence.    You cannot help men permanently, by doing for them what they could and should, do for themselves.  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;With that, I'm Dan Casey and I'm signing off.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-5756964411094723813?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/5756964411094723813/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=5756964411094723813' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/5756964411094723813'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/5756964411094723813'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2008/11/god-help-us-all.html' title='GOD HELP US ALL'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-1438370295307023061</id><published>2008-11-03T08:57:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-03T11:24:47.742-05:00</updated><title type='text'>PSYCHOLOGICAL VERSUS SPIRITUAL WARFARE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;HERE it is, election eve.  Many of you are like me, experiencing pre-election jitters.  Last night, before going to bed, I made the mistake of going to the Drudge Report to get the latest headlines. Not to besmirch Drudge or his web site, I wish I hadn't.  The polls concerning the election were still there, looming, ever present, and psychologically discouraging.  All along, I had been predicting that John McCain and Sarah Palin would come from behind and take this election.  According to all the polls, except one, had Barack Obama comfortably out in front and John McCain about five to six percent behind.  A wave of fear washed over me, and I jumped up from the computer and went straight to my bedroom where I poured myself out before the Lord.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;THE time that I spent in prayer didn't matter.  I had been psychologically been beaten up by those news reports, and to get right to the point, I began scolding God.  Why, Lord, how can this be? Is this nation that far gone?  Have we moved that far to the left that we are no longer who we used to be?  How can a man of honor, a man who has served his country both in the military, even spending five years of his life in an enemy prison, and  twenty-six years serving his country as a public servant, be passed over for another   man who at best is an enigma, a fabrication, of questionable character, a deceiver and a known liar?   I confessed to the Lord that I was upset and tried to explain to Him that I wasn't mad at Him, but just overwhelmed by all this fervor and passion that had been building up in me for months.  Here, I have been offering encouragement to the small number of readers that I have, and here I find myself in need of encouragement.  I really needed a Word from the Lord.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;THE &lt;strong&gt;Lord&lt;/strong&gt; has spoken to me on a number of occasions.  In 1989, I was working as a news photographer, editor, and live truck operator for WSBTV News.  I had been sent to Coweta County where a tornado had been spotted, and was told to sit and wait until my assignment desk received information of any storm damage and they would dispatch me to it.  While I was waiting in the parking lot of a Gulf service station at Collinsworth Road and Interstate 85,  a tornado suddenly appeared only a few hundred yards from me and heading my way.  I was sitting at the editing console in the rear of the live truck and as I witnessed a vacant building across the road from me vanish before my eyes, a voice spoke to me, &lt;strong&gt;"GET OUT OF THE TRUCK!"&lt;/strong&gt; I made no effort to save the truck; there was no time.  I got out and about fifteen to twenty seconds later, I saw my five ton television live truck, flip end over end, tumble down along side the frontage road, coming to rest nearly four hundred feet from where it was.  If I had been inside that truck, I would have been killed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;ABOUT four months later, I went to Henry General Hospital, as it was known then, with chest pains.  While there, I went into cardiac arrest; my heart stopped beating.  After forty five minutes of cpr and defibulation, I regained consciousness.  A white light was shining brightly in my face. As my vision cleared, I could see a number of doctors and nurses hovering over me The same inner voice that spoke to me that night in Coweta County spoke to me again.  "I am the Resurrection and the Life.  Any man who believes in Me, though he were dead, yet he shall live."  These are the same words that Jesus used when he raised Lazarus from the dead.  Of all the Bible versus there are, why were these spoken to me? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;SIX years later, after another heart attack, I was at Georgia Baptist Hospital  in Atlanta. The back side of my heart was dead and I was barely hanging onto life while on a heart pump.  During that time, I was in a fifteen day coma.  While in the coma, I drifted back and forth from semi-consciousness to the spiritual realm.  To shorten a very detailed and highly descriptive story, I had a visitation from  the Lord when I found myself in the &lt;em&gt;Valley of the Shadow of Death. He told me, &lt;strong&gt;"You will live and not die."  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;During my  recovery, I was the recipient of many miracles, no doubt the result of thousands who were praying for me. A few months later, I received a heart transplant,  the heart of a seventeen year old, and I've had that heart over twelve years.  The miracle was not the transplant, but the Lord keeping me alive when the odds were against me, long enough for me to get a transplant. My healing has been such that I no longer require the anti-rejection drugs the doctors said that I would have to take the rest of my life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;THE reason I bring these events up is because, once again, I was in need of a Word from God.  I recited my daily confession with special emphasis on certain parts of it.  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I am of the faithful of God, for He has given me the faith to move mountains.  Therefore, nothing to me is impossible because with God, all things are possible. I am more than a conqueror for I can over come any obstacle or stumbling block placed before me by the enemy.  No weapon formed against me shall prosper....I have success in everything that I set forth my hand to accomplish,  for I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  I walk by faith and not by sight.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;ONCE I had quietened down, I waited upon the Lord.  My mind was replaying all the things that I had learned over the years; and then it dawned on me.  The polls;  these polls are nothing but a tool of the enemy. He is using these polls to &lt;em&gt;psychologically&lt;/em&gt; discourage all of us to the point that we won't bother going to vote because it will be an exercise in futility. This is nothing but a strategy of the devil, nothing more than another one of his deceptions.  This type of strategy has been used by leftists the world over in manipulating the masses; a tactic right out of the Marxist play book.  Another thought came to me, one that I had mentioned to you in previous posts; this is &lt;em&gt;spiritual warfare.&lt;/em&gt;  As the Apostle Paul wrote, &lt;em&gt;"&lt;strong&gt;we war not against flesh and blood, but of the rulers, against the powers, against the principalities of darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;TO sum it up; the enemy is using psychological warfare on us, and we must engage the enemy on our terms, using &lt;em&gt;spiritual warfare&lt;/em&gt;.  I asked the Lord, what else can we do, Lord."  The Lord said to me, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"the battle is not yours, but Mine."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; How can this happen,  O' Lord? &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Not by power; not by might, but by my Spirit,"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;says the Lord. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We are not to surrender to our emotions&lt;/strong&gt;; and I confess I came very close to doing just that.  Remember, that &lt;strong&gt;fear &lt;/strong&gt;is an emotion, and it is the&lt;strong&gt; opposite of faith&lt;/strong&gt;.  If you haven't voted yet in early voting, please make every effort to vote.  It is isn't over until every one has voted, and every vote is counted.  Election day is tomorrow, and with the exception of those in a few states that have had early voting, everyone else votes tomorrow.  There is plenty of time for a mighty move of the Spirit of the Lord.  There's expected to be a record turnout and as long as there are people in line, the polls can't close until everyone has voted.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;MEANWHILE, pray for the Mighty Move of the Spirit to take place. Pray specifically that those people, especially Christians,  who have been caught up in the Obama hype and have been deceived into thinking that he is going to solve all their problems have their spiritual eyes opened.  Pray that they will have second thoughts, and vote for the two people that are right for this country, John McCain and Sarah Palin. Once you have voted and prayed, submit to the Lord; the battle is now His.  If all of us on this side of the line drawn in the sand do this, I am confident that we will be victorious.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Daniel Casey 2008&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-1438370295307023061?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/1438370295307023061/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=1438370295307023061' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/1438370295307023061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/1438370295307023061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2008/11/psychological-versus-spiritual-warfare.html' title='PSYCHOLOGICAL VERSUS SPIRITUAL WARFARE'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-6795475337966286472</id><published>2008-11-02T01:05:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-11-02T01:04:40.348-04:00</updated><title type='text'>DON'T LET BIG MEDIA POLLS SCARE YOU INTO NOT VOTING</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;THE &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; have a lot to lose if Obama loses this election. It seems that they have placed all their eggs in one basket. They have pulled out all the stops and are no longer denying that they are completely in the tank for Barack Hussein Obama, sacrificing their once honorable profession and credibility. They are still using their skewed polling data in predicting the outcome of this election. The latest New York Times/CBS poll has Obama not only winning, but winning by a landslide. They did this is 2004 with Kerry and with Gore in 2000. They are doing this trying to tell voters the election has already been decided and your vote is not going to change the outcome, so you can save yourself a long wait in line by not voting. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;BACK in 2004, I vividly recall that exit polls by big media at polling precincts were showing John Kerry with a six percent edge over McCain. They were doing this while the polls were still open. I remember Sean Hannity on the radio pleading with listeners, &lt;em&gt;"if you haven't done so, please go vote. There is still time."&lt;/em&gt; You can expect them to use the same tactic this time. Big media is trying to recapture their glory years when they could make or break presidents, decide elections, and force public policy to change or wars to end. Over the course of time, they have been gradually losing their credibility and influence to where they have very little if any left. Somehow, they feel if Obama can win this election, then this will restore them to the pinnacle that they once were perched. I've got news for them, even if Obama wins, they will be held in such contempt by mainstream Americans that they cannot economically survive. If McCain wins , the network news outlets will probably start revamping their staffs and many of the reporters, correspondents and commentators replaced, and news shows restructured in order to win back viewers. There are a lot of political talk show commentators that are going to be looking for jobs. Either way, the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; are going to be the big losers. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;EVEN though we are in the eleventh hour, finally some newspapers have taken the bold step of endorsing the&lt;em&gt; other&lt;/em&gt; candidate. &lt;em&gt;The Washington Times, Dallas Morning News, and New York Post &lt;/em&gt;have come out and endorsed John McCain. Reporters on the Obama press plane from those three newspapers were told to get off the plane. I suspect panic is starting to build among the Obama campaign staffers. You can expect more newspapers to come out and endorse McCain, and those that don't, you don't have to be told where they stand, because they have been for Obama since the campaign started. Don't expect the Atlanta Journal-Constitution to endorse McCain.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;IT has been an uphill battle for John McCain and Sarah Palin. A lot of Washington insiders have said that McCain started to aggressively go after Obama too late in the game and it is unlikely that he will have enough time to overtake him. I was one of those that was really furious with the McCain campaign for ignoring the conservative base and trying to attract moderates and independents. The first two debates were boring, boring and boring. When the Sarah Palin-Joe Biden debate attracted more viewers, the research driven McCain people took notice of how Sarah Palin went on the offense and really connected with the people. They also noticed the huge crowds that Sarah Palin was attracting, and the undeniable coalescing of the different Republican factions that energized and put new life into an uninspired campaign. Sarah Palin undoubtedly was the best decision that John McCain has made because if there is one thing that you can point to that turned this campaign around, it was Sarah Palin.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;IT'S a given that the McCain campaign made a mistake in not going after Obama earlier. However, this weekend before the election, they have bought up commercial time around the NFL football games. They are running ads attaching Obama to Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers. Even though there were opportunities that were missed, these last attack ads seem to be working. The Obama campaign is outraged and crying foul. Polls are indicating that McCain and Palin are making a big move and there is definitely a shift in voters in the works. There was an extraordinary percentage of voters that were still undecided going into this weekend, and historically, undecided voters will go for the old familiar face rather than the new one. Looking back with 20/20 hindsight, McCain realizes that trying to go the &lt;em&gt;high road&lt;/em&gt; with the Democrats is not going to work for you. There were many opportunities that were passed up exploiting Obama's weaknesses, especially his lack of experience, only 143 days of in the US Senate, and two years as a community organizer, associated with ACORN which has been implicated in voter fraud in a dozen or more cities around the country. ACORN is also trying in Virginia to deny the military stationed overseas their right to have their votes counted while registering homeless people who have no identification or legal address. The thought of Obama sitting down and talking with our enemies who are close to being completely defeated doesn't register well with the American people. For someone to be so anti military, who would want this man Commander in Chief of our armed forces or trust him with our national security?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;FRANKLY, Sarah Palin has done a better job of campaigning than John McCain, but there is still time to persuade some more of those leaning toward Obama to vote for McCain. I can't see that happening for Obama because more and more people are discovering that he is nothing more than an empty suit, spouting platitudes that others before him have said. His whole campaign is nothing but an illusion, promising change, nothing but masked Marxist socialism, making promises that he cannot keep or has no intention of keeping. In reality, there is about ten percent of the populace that believe that Obama is going to raise their standard of living and improve their lifestyle. It didn't happen with &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"The Great Society"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and it ain't gonna happen with Obama becoming president.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;THERE is a beautiful feature about the voting booth. It is called, the secret ballot. Once you are inside the voting booth, it's completely private. You can change your mind if you want to in case you're having second thoughts and no one but you and the Lord above will know. Election day is three days away, and in most parts of the country there is no early voting, and there is opportunity for anyone to change their minds just in case they are having doubts. I expect that there are going to be a lot of people that were once for Obama will be changing their minds. Of course, if you are in one of those states that allow early voting and you have already voted, you're locked in and there's no way to change your vote. Just remember folks, to use a &lt;em&gt;Yogi ism&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;"It ain't over til it's over."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;THERE has been talk within the political tv talk shows, namely CNN, that blacks will take to the streets and riot if Obama loses this election. I hope that doesn't happen, but if it does, the blame will be on the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream &lt;/em&gt;media, because they have f&lt;em&gt;ailed&lt;/em&gt; in telling the American people the truth. They have failed in &lt;em&gt;informing&lt;/em&gt; the public about the character flaws of their candidate, pumping him up, promoting, and covering for him. They have glossed over his weaknesses, and have attacked Sarah Palin relentlessly. They have been saying all along that we are in a recession, when weren't, and trying to blame the current economic crisis on the Bush Administration, when it was clearly all Democrats that were responsible. They have been telling the public for weeks that Obama's victory was certain and that the election was only an annoying formality. If there is anarchy, you can blame it squarely on the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt;. And I think they should be held accountable for their journalistic malpractice and deception in their shameful attempt to put a Marxist in the White House. If McCain wins, we are going to have a very hard time trying to convince them we did not cheat to win or steal this election. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;ALL along, I have maintained that we are going to win this election; not Republicans, not Conservatives, but Americans. This is going to be another record turnout; it has to be for us to win. All of us know what is at stake and we must vote, everyone of us, and I don't care if you have to stand in line for hours in the rain; it's that important. Once you have voted, pray to our Lord for our nation. I believe in the United States of America. There is no country on earth that is more generous that we are. We have given more in research for Aids and to hunger than any other country. We have more missionaries into the foreign fields at risk to their own lives in trying to win souls for Christ, helping those in the mission field acquire the &lt;em&gt;abundant life&lt;/em&gt;. We do this because we want to, not because we are forced to. I don't want the government taking that priviledge for serving God away from us, or doing away with the tax exemption for those of us who tithe. I firmly believe that God Exalts the Righteous Nation. We can once again, as Ronald Reagan so aptly put it, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;be that shining light; the beacon on the hill for all the world to see. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;We need not only be victorious, but we must be undeniably, overwhelmingly victorious. We need to send a message loud and clear to all those that oppose us and try to destroy our way of life, that we reject them and their flawed ideology. We need to send a message loud and clear to the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; that we are not going to put up with their twisted propaganda even if it means them going out of business. And we need to send a message loud and clear to the rest of the world, we are &lt;strong&gt;One Nation Under God&lt;/strong&gt;, the &lt;strong&gt;United States of America.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Casey 2008&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-6795475337966286472?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/6795475337966286472'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/6795475337966286472'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2008/10/dont-let-big-media-polls-scare-you-into.html' title='DON&apos;T LET BIG MEDIA POLLS SCARE YOU INTO NOT VOTING'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-2914753253758092129</id><published>2008-10-30T12:32:00.009-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-30T23:13:31.642-04:00</updated><title type='text'>OBAMA HEADING FOR WORST DEFEAT SINCE McGOVERN '72</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;YOUR EYES do not deceive you. The above headline is my prediction of what the outcome will be on the day following the 2008 presidential election. You may ask, how can this be when all the polls say exactly the opposite? My answer is this. I rely on other indicators that I am basing my prediction on than what the polling companies are using. Early voting in Florida is indicating five percent more Republicans are voting early than Democrats. In California, another state that uses Republican and Democrat ballots, show the number of early voters about even. I am of the opinion, that there are a lot more Democrats dissatisfied with their candidate than Republicans dissatisfied with John McCain and Sarah Palin. I cannot emphasize enough that massive voter turnout on our side is key for this to happen. &lt;strong&gt;YOU MUST GET OUT TO VOTE!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DEMOCRATS are assuming that all Democrats are going to vote for Obama and he will be lucky to get eighty percent of the Democrat vote because there are a lot of die hard Hillary Rodham Clinton supporters who feel their candidate was denied her rightful place in history because of the &lt;em&gt;super delegates&lt;/em&gt;. Clinton won eight out of ten of the last state primaries, clearly demonstrating that her strength was gaining and Obama's was waning. There are a lot of single women, college age and young professionals who have become enamored with Sarah Palin, and there has been a sharp drop off in this demographic group for Obama. Since Sarah Palin's appearance on &lt;em&gt;Saturday Night Live&lt;/em&gt;, there are a number young males that were pleasantly surprised and equally impressed. They are not automatically dismissing her has they once did, and it has become evident that she has picked up support in this group as well. The ratings for that particular &lt;em&gt;SNL &lt;/em&gt;broadcast, NBC enjoyed the highest rating in fourteen years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OCTOBER of this year, has seen three times as many polls taken on head to head match ups between the presidential candidates as they were in 2004. They all virtually have been in favor of Barack Obama, but they have been all over the place regarding the gap between them; as little as two and a much as twelve percent. Now, only five days before the election, the gap is at three percent, within the margin of error, making the election a tossup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HISTORY is on my side. In both 2000 and 2004, the polls were saying that Democrat candidates Al Gore and John Kerry were out in front by double digit numbers, but Bush miraculously came from behind to win. Bush, in the 2000 race, actually lost the election in the popular vote, but won in the electoral college. Thank God for the electoral college; it kept large liberal socialist states like California and New York from electing the president for the rest of the country. Each state has a number of electoral college votes based up that state's population. All a candidate has to do is get one more vote than his opponent and he takes all the electoral votes for that state. Bill Clinton, even though he only won the election in 1992 by only forty three percent of the total vote, he won because he got more electoral votes than George H.W. Bush, thanks to the seventeen percent that Ross Perot received, depriving Bush reelection. Clinton also won in 1996, again with only forty six percent of the vote against Bob Dole. Again, third party candidates kept any one candidate from receiving a majority of the vote. This year, Libertarian candidate Bob Barr, even though a protest vote against John McCain, will not be much of a factor in the race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MILLIONS of people like me have been praying for our country; holding special prayer services, and joining with others from around the country in praying for our leaders and that the evil that is coming against us will be defeated. A spokesperson from the Obama campaign boasted that they too had a lot of Christians, even some &lt;em&gt;evangelicals&lt;/em&gt; supporting their candidate. No doubt, many have been deceived, even many of our own. There is no question that race does play a part to in choosing Barack Obama while nothing else matters, even with those calling themselves Christians; including infanticide, the withholding of life sustaining care for babies that survived a botched abortion. Also, there are a lot of ignorant Christians who believe that he will be able to save them from their economic woes and raise their standard of living. For sixty years, the Democrats since Franklin Delano Roosevelt have been making promises that they were going to make things better for them and gave our country the biggest transfer of wealth and give away program in history, ten trillion dollars in President Lyndon Johnson's "&lt;em&gt;The Great Society&lt;/em&gt;." The last time I checked, they are still poor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO, how does God honor the prayer of some of his children and not honor the prayer of others in the flock, since God is neither liberal or conservative? The fact is, there are a lot of financially poor Christians who have been taught by those false teachers that should know better, that teach God's favorite people are the poor. First and foremost, &lt;strong&gt;poverty is a curse&lt;/strong&gt;, not a blessing. Relying on the government to provide for them is not faith. Therefore, if you are praying without faith and not within His Will and His Word, your prayer probably will not be answered the way you want it. The Bible clearly states that &lt;strong&gt;one must have faith to please God&lt;/strong&gt;. For in Mathew, it says, &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;B&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;lessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. &lt;/span&gt;When Christ said this in His &lt;em&gt;Sermon on the Mount&lt;/em&gt;, he wasn't talking about a person's economic situation, but their spiritual condition, and as the left tries to use the Word of God against us, they conveniently leave out the words, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;in spirit&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Another verse the left love to use against us, &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;for as you have done to the least of these, you have done this unto me." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Again, Jesus was talking to us as individuals, not governments, when he said, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;when I was naked you clothed me; when I was hungry you fed me, when I was in prison you visited me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; As Christians, I'm sure you actually did, or have all given into or supported various ministries that did these things. We didn't have to be forced to do it by the government. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHILE in Bethany, just outside of Jerusalem a week before His crucifixion, Jesus was staying at His friend Lazarus's home. While Jesus was there and the house was full of people, a woman came through(probably the woman caught in adultry) broke open an alabaster jar of nard, a very expensive ointment and spread it on his feet and then wiped His feet with her hair; worshiping Him. Judas Iscariot saw this and complained to Jesus that this was wasteful; that the nard could have been sold and the money given to the poor. Jesus said, "&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;the &lt;strong&gt;poor you will always have with you&lt;/strong&gt;, but I will only be here for a little while and she is preparing me for my burial." &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Notice here who was doing the criticizing.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;That's right, the one who betrayed Him; reminding you of anyone?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;WHENEVER &lt;/span&gt;Jesus was making reference to charity or generosity concerning the poor, He was talking about using one's own resources; not taking from other people to give to them. As far as I'm concerned, taking money from someone who labored hard for it, whether its by the government, or strong arm goons, is &lt;strong&gt;theft.&lt;/strong&gt; As Christians, most of us give into various ministries, charities, and to missionaries voluntarily because we want to. There is nothing &lt;em&gt;patriotic,&lt;/em&gt; as the left would have us to believe that it is, to being taxed into poverty so that money we worked for be given to someone who didn't so that we can be all be the same. Which do you think is more in line with God's Word; give a man a fish as a meal for a day, or teaching him to fish so that he can provide for himself for a lifetime? When Joe the Plumber asked Obama &lt;strong&gt;why he wanted to raise his taxes&lt;/strong&gt;, and Obama answered by saying so &lt;strong&gt;he could spread the wealth around.&lt;/strong&gt; What do you think that would do to the American dream? I think that revelation about Obama and his warped Marxist philosophy started to get people to think and the one issue that was the turning point in the McCain campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ELECTION day is still five days away, and a lot of people wait until they get into the voting booth to decide whom they are going to vote. Already in Georgia, about a fourth of the voting eligible people have already voted, including my wife Meg and I. Georgia has already pretty much been decided that it will be a red state. And there are several &lt;em&gt;swing states &lt;/em&gt;that could go either way. Indicators are that the swing states are leaning toward McCain. Polls are tightening up and it is Obama that is fading, just as Gore and Kerry did before him. When Gerald Ford lost to Jimmy Carter, time ran out on Ford. If Gerald Ford had access to the Internet and campaigning had gone on another week, Ford would have won. Today, Obama is in prevent defense and is trying to run out the clock. The Obama campaign has spent twice as much as McCain's and have resorted to the old Democrat playbook in trying to scare seniors, and using the race card. The Democrats created the financial mess we are in and are using that as their October Surprise. The people are beginning to realize, that it was the Democrats who are largely responsible for raising their taxes to bail them out. Add to that, voter fraud by ACORN, illegal foreign contributions, and the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; propping him up, promoting, and covering for him. Buying a thirty minute time slot before a world series game for an infomercial, did not boost their numbers the way they hoped. They have exhausted their arsenal, and indicators are showing that he has been and is continuing to lose ground. The Obama people are beginning to show signs of panic, and the political talk show commentators are starting to squirm, covering their tails, the same as they did in 2000 and 2004.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE attacks on Sarah Palin from the left, the Democrats and the media have been relentless. They attacked her, trying to break her, force her to quit because they know that she will be a force they will have to deal with in the future. She is still here, and she is drawing big crowds. On the other hand, the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; give a pass to Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden, who I had predicted would bow out for health reasons, is still there and he is helping us a lot more than he is helping Obama. He continues to put his foot in his mouth. Obama kept him on anyway, because Obama is a prideful man and its hard for him to admit that he was wrong in choosing Biden. In this case, I'm glad I was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PROBABLY, the one factor that is in my opinion is the most important, is not even figured in with the polling companies, but resonates with me, is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;faith&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;em&gt;Faith&lt;/em&gt; being the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. I have faith in God first, and secondly, I have faith in the American people. I believe that most American people hold fast to our values and principles and do not want socialism. They want to pursue the American dream because they believe in Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. This is a time of testing and our &lt;em&gt;faith &lt;/em&gt;will make us stronger. Once you have voted, and prayed for our country, you have done all you can do. From here on, the &lt;strong&gt;battle belongs to the Lord&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;He is our Banner, He is our Victory, He is our Champion, He is Our Glory and the Lifter of Our Head. It is in Him that We Live and Move and Have Our Being. AMEN.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Casey 2008&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-2914753253758092129?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/2914753253758092129/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=2914753253758092129' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/2914753253758092129'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/2914753253758092129'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2008/10/obama-heading-for-worst-defeat-since.html' title='OBAMA HEADING FOR WORST DEFEAT SINCE McGOVERN &apos;72'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-3097391170124530535</id><published>2008-10-28T02:45:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-28T02:41:26.340-04:00</updated><title type='text'>WHAT'S SO DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS TIME?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SQazCAx-eII/AAAAAAAAAsQ/tuYWNV4mqAo/s1600-h/Obama+Seal+reduced.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262090061779728514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 376px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SQazCAx-eII/AAAAAAAAAsQ/tuYWNV4mqAo/s400/Obama+Seal+reduced.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;While &lt;em&gt;Instant Messaging&lt;/em&gt; with a liberal friend in the media last week, he suggested that I was not only putting my neck out on the line, but playing Russian Roulette with three bullets in the gun; in other words, putting my credibility on the line in a precarious and reckless manner. He was, of course, referring to my insistent predictions of John McCain and Sarah Palin being victorious on election day this November fourth, when all the evidence was contrary. If he is referring to polling results as being evidence, I think not. Opinion polls of something that hasn't happened yet is not evidence. As a matter of fact, which I stated in my reply to him, history is on my side. Both Al Gore and John Kerry had what seemed insurmountable leads over George W. Bush late in the race, but they both lost. My liberal friend had the last word, which I allowed him to have, when he said, " things are different this time. He has a better campaign manager, better PR, and a lot more money.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't have any opinion on the first assertion, that Obama has a better campaign manager, David Axelrod, but I agree he does have a lot more money. Not only does he have the backing of billionaire George Soros, he has the backing of billionaire Oprah Winfrey, and the left wing Hollywood entertainment industry, and for PR, he has as his press corp, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC along with the big print media. They are doing an outstanding job in propping up, promoting and covering for thier candidate. Believe me, there is plenty to look into regarding Barack Hussein Obama and the&lt;em&gt; no longer mainstream media,&lt;/em&gt; turning a blind eye, have not scrutinized him anywhere near the depth they researched and dug into Sarah Palin's background and private life. John McCain's life has pretty much been an open book, focusing instead on his age, and his ties to George W. Bush, and the economic failures of the Bush economy the past eight years. &lt;em&gt;I thought the last eight years were pretty good myself because my wife and I got out of debt and paid off our house. &lt;/em&gt;They have concentrated their efforts on Palin, stooping so low in going after her children. There are a lot of unanswered questions about the sources of a lot of Obama's campaign contributions. There are allegations being made that a considerable number of Obama's contributions came from foreign sources, and private donations exceeding the legal limit; both against the law, but carefully hidden with the means of creative bookkeeping. Nothing is being done by the Justice Department into looking into this matter and only a half-hearted effort into all the allegations of voter fraud by ACORN. A Federal Judge dismissed the lawsuit that a Pennsylvania attorney filed to force Obama to prove his citizenship by submitting his original birth certificate. Obama has not proved that he is a citizen of the United States, because the birth certificate he provided was not even a copy of the original, but a substitute which appears to have been altered, according to those contesting this matter. There is a huge opportunity for the biggest political fraud in the history of American politics to be put over on the citizens of the United States.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I have to admire McCain and Palin for continuing to campaign hard as they have because it seems that the entire world is against them. The United Nations came out this week endorsing Obama. The news agencies continue to report that Obama is still leading in the polls and continue to ignore or refuse to report stories of important things that have been discovered about their candidate. For example, television interviews he made in the 1990's and in 2001 using his own words, back up charges made against Obama that he is a Marxist, and at the very least, a socialist. It is clear to me, that big media in this country are also leftist socialists because they are now nothing more than &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;propagandists&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; for their candidate. The Democrat Party should change their name to the Socialist Party of America, because that's what they are. We stand to lose a lot more if Obama gets elected, and its even more frightening if they get a super majority in the House of Representatives and a sixty seat, veto-filibuster proof Senate. Not only will your taxes go up, but &lt;strong&gt;God will be replaced&lt;/strong&gt; by the new re-structured government. Even our precious Constitution and other founding documents can be rewritten if they have enough votes. These tax and spend liberals have a ravaging appetite for more money and they will look for other ways to get it; for example, they will seize your &lt;strong&gt;401K and pension plans&lt;/strong&gt; and incorporate them into Social Security. You will no longer get to deduct your &lt;strong&gt;tithes and offerings&lt;/strong&gt; to your church from your income tax. Socialism has never worked anywhere it's tried; it just spreads the misery around and taxes you into poverty. This is socialism's ultimate goal, to make you completely dependent on the government. A major cause of some of the problems our nation is facing today is that we have a lot of atheists in charge of important departments and government programs. You will really know they are in charge when they remove &lt;strong&gt;In God We Trust&lt;/strong&gt; from our money and government buildings, and &lt;strong&gt;One Nation Under God&lt;/strong&gt; from our Pledge of Allegiance. Of course, you can expect them to &lt;strong&gt;come after your guns&lt;/strong&gt; because they are not going to allow anything that can possibly be used in an insurrection against them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;People like me are called alarmists and of course they will try to silence me or anyone that opposes them. Truth will be what they say it is, and it will be relative at that. You see, its all about having power over other peoples lives. They want everyone to be just as miserable as they are. It's not fair for you to have more than others, so if you have a cow and your neighbor doesn't, the the state will take your cow so everyone will have the same. However, the truth is, the elites aren't part of the single class that you will belong. They don't shop in the same places, they don't go to the same government schools or live in the same kind of houses. They can do pretty much whatever they want when they want, and all the while, they will be looking down their noses at you. I know this sounds really extreme, but this is what socialism is like in Europe and the socialists here in this country want us to be a member of the world community, and be like them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;During the last mid-term congressional election, Republicans lost the majority by a razor thin margin, as little as a few hundred votes in some areas. Right now, the approval rating of Congress is at an all time low. Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are confident they are going to increase their numbers in the House considerably, and the same for Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats. I expect them to retain a small majority, but that's all. Frankly, the whole lot of them, including some Republicans need to be fired, however we need to keep what we've got and add to it if we can; even if it means holding our nose while we are in the voting booth. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;All the indicators are that this is going to be a another voter record turnout and I feel this is going to work in our favor just as it did in the last two elections. Meanwhile, my neck is still on the chopping block, but I trust my instincts whether anyone else does or not. Can ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, Associated Press, Zogby, Gallup, and Politico be wrong? YES! John McCain will be the oldest elected President, and Sarah Palin will be the first woman Vice President, and Barack Hussein Obama and the rest of his Marxist Socialist ideologues will fade into obscurity for a while, but will be back in 2012.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Casey 2008&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-3097391170124530535?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/3097391170124530535'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/3097391170124530535'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2008/10/whats-so-different-about-this-time.html' title='WHAT&apos;S SO DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS TIME?'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SQazCAx-eII/AAAAAAAAAsQ/tuYWNV4mqAo/s72-c/Obama+Seal+reduced.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-552904681272285408</id><published>2008-10-24T19:02:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-24T21:41:07.605-04:00</updated><title type='text'>DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP NOW!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Obama is in trouble; even though you wouldn't know it by the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt;. There has been a strategy change by the Obama camp in the last couple of days because new data has surfaced and has suggested that there aren't as many Democrats voting for him as has been presumed by the polling companies. There are a lot of Hillary Clinton supporters out there who feel they've been stiff-armed by the DNC and the super delegates and they have thrown their support behind Sarah Palin, because she is on the ticket with McCain. A little background; Al Gore had ninety percent of the Democrat vote, and John Kerry had eighty-nine percent of the vote; they both lost to George Bush even though the polls had both candidates out in front of Bush right up to election day. Big media is trying to keep this hush-hush, but according to some lesser known pollsters, Obama is only showing about eighty percent support from traditional Democrat voters. There is also the &lt;em&gt;Bradley effect;&lt;/em&gt; a large percentage of people who tell you they are going one way, but voting another. They do this to keep from being bothered by over zealous campaign workers and some  take pleasure in contaminating the polling results of the pollsters.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The polling companies also ignore the lessons of history, and they keep making the same mistakes over and over. Polling companies historically skew, over sample and pad the results for whomever they are working. Apparently the Obama campaign is aware of the shift  because their latest round of political ads are aimed at seniors, saying that McCain is going to take away their medicare and risk their social security; a thirty year old ploy to scare the senior citizens, retirees, and the elderly. If they are so far out ahead, why do they have to resort to lying, and old lie at that?   Another revealing set of numbers, the active deployed military vote, even though a smaller percentage, has not been factored in, and it is overwhelmingly supportive of John McCain. Also, the number of first time voters that the Obama people were counting on, simply aren't there; they &lt;strong&gt;show up for rallies, but they don't vote.&lt;/strong&gt; This was the case in the last two presidential elections. A lot of students are away at school and they are already registered back home and it's too expensive to go back home just to vote.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;McCain and Palin are right on track; day by day the gap is slowly closing, and right now, some of the more historically accurate polling services are saying that this election is a toss up. A couple of Yogisms here: &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It ain't over until it's over&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;it's deja vu all over again&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. As I have stated over and over. The &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; are not telling you the truth. They are reporting the news they want it to be instead of what it really is. They are now telling their viewers that Sarah Palin is dragging down the McCain and the Republicans when the exact opposite is true. There are still about eleven percent of undecided voters out there, and you can bet that the greater majority of them are going to vote for a proven man, not someone they know little to nothing about. The &lt;strong&gt;Joe the Plumber&lt;/strong&gt; message has been very effective in waking up a lot of blue collar workers. By far, blue collar workers are patriotic, hard working Americans, and what Obama revealed, in his own words, "&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I'm going to spread the wealth around&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, " has resonated with them when they have traditionally have voted Democrat. Of course, a lot of the hard core union hard hats  will put their wallets before their country. I simply cannot accept the premise the greater majority of Americans want Socialism and are willing to allow these people of questionable character have more intrusion and authority over their lives. I also feel, that even though our country is lagging behind in education as compared to other countries, I refuse to believe that there are that many bottom feeders that stupid to put the man, Barack Hussein Obama in the White House.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In the wake of Colin Powell, former Bush appointed Secretary of State, coming out in support of Obama, there have been also defections from a number of rino Republicans, even some self styled conservative beltway columnists. This is a good thing for us because it lets us know who they are. What are they going to do when McCain wins? They have all bought into the notion that Obama has already won the election and that they want to make sure they are on the invitation list for all the Washington insider cocktail parties. As for Powell, his endorsement will secure him an important position in the Obama administration, no different from any other Washington politician who is &lt;strong&gt;looking out for himself&lt;/strong&gt;. I have always had my doubts about Colin Powell and I felt that he was not carrying out the Bush agenda as Secretary of State because there was a lot of &lt;em&gt;undermining&lt;/em&gt; of Bush policy going on in the State Department while Powell was there. Even though the present Secretary of State, Condaleza Rice, disagrees with Bush on a lot of matters, she is faithful to carry out his directives. In Powell's public announcement, he stated that his decision &lt;strong&gt;was not about race&lt;/strong&gt;. Talk radio host Rush Limbaugh raised some controversy this week when he said on his radio show, that the Obama endorsement was &lt;strong&gt;all about race&lt;/strong&gt;. He put the question to his audience, "tell me Secretary Powell, if it isn't about race, then tell me how many &lt;em&gt;under qualified white &lt;/em&gt;men have you thrown your support behind?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Never before have I witnessed such over confidence by a political party. &lt;em&gt;The no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; execs are wondering how they are going to keep their audiences tuned in when the election is going to be decided so early in the evening? The Obama campaign is already erecting the stage for the victory celebration at a park in Chicago on election night. I really believe that the Democrats are not only &lt;strong&gt;counting their chickens before they hatch&lt;/strong&gt;, but are planning for the &lt;strong&gt;most expensive wake in history.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A news story that I read yesterday disturbed me. It said that police agencies in some of the larger metropolitan areas are preparing for violence and rioting if McCain wins this election. They are going to feel just like they did in 2000; that the election was stolen from them. Now who do you think gave them the reason to think the election was stolen from them? Perhaps, if the the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; had been living up to their responsibility of reporting the news truthfully, and giving an accurate picture of what was happening, without propping up, promoting, defending, and covering up for their candidate, we wouldn't be having to defend ourselves and trying to convince them that we didn't steal the election. If anyone is at fault in causing violence, even though it has unintended consequences, it is the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; in their journalistic malpractice who is responsible.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;This has been an uphill battle for us ever since the campaign began. Our battle has not only been against Obama, but with big media; all three broadcast networks, MSNBC and CNN, but the big print media and the entertainment establishment. Add to that voter fraud from ACORN.  Obama should be out in front by twenty plus points, and right now he is only slightly ahead. We can win this. Be sure to vote. I don't care if you have to stand in line for six hours in the freezing rain. Don't you dare give up now!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Casey 2008&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-552904681272285408?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/552904681272285408/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=552904681272285408' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/552904681272285408'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/552904681272285408'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2008/10/dont-you-dare-give-up-now.html' title='DON&apos;T YOU DARE GIVE UP NOW!'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-3041031139755783992</id><published>2008-10-22T13:30:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-22T13:30:00.734-04:00</updated><title type='text'>OBAMA.

The sampling technique used is much wider than the ones used by the major polling companies. The polling companies take their samples for the most part from larger metropolitan areas where they think is a more representative cross section of voters than the ones who occupy most of middle America, referred to as fly-over country. It is a known given that metropolitan areas are more more liberal than everywhere else because most large cities have Democrat controlled governments; like Atlanta, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. It shows a completely different picture than the one the no longer mainstream media have been presenting to the American public. Why is there such a large discrepancy between this poll and the other polls put out by ABC and the Washington Post, and other no longer mainstream media outlets? It all has to do with what are the polls being used for in the first place. In the case of the no longer mainstream media, polls are used to form or change public opinion. Many time this past year, polls have been used as headline news stories by the media, a real irritant to me, because they are no longer giving us the news, but propagandizing; reporting the news they want it to be rather than what is actually happening. It is no secret that eighty-five percent of journalists, whether they are in the broadcast or print side, are Democrats, and they want the news to fit the news template they want to happen. If you don't believe me, look at the past three elections. The polls were not even close and completely opposite of what they predicted. Even on election day in 2004, John Kerry was supposed to have won the election based on exit polls; but George W. Bush won by six million votes. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The no longer mainstream media has gotten desperate in forcing a Democrat president on the American people. They have sacrificed their credibility and have resorted to journalistic malpractice of propagandizing instead of informing. They have reported a terrible economy when it wasn't, have kept telling us the War in Iraq is a quagmire, our prestige and prominence in the world has been lost; nothing but Democrat talking points. This election year, they have pulled out all the stops because their credibility has been trashed, and they think that only a Democrat victory can restore them to a place of respectability. I've got news for them. Even if Obama wins and this country goes to hell because of it, they are going to be blamed and the resentment and hatred for them will be magnified ten fold. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The tactics used by the no longer mainstream media are not new. They were perfected by the Marxists going all the way back to the 1917, Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, when Czar Nicholas and his family were assassinated and Vladimir Lenin and the Communists took over. It was a campaign of misinformation, lies and deceit to achieve their goal of domination. They believed that if you repeat a lie loud enough, often enough, and long enough that it would become true. This concept was introduced first to the &lt;em&gt;enlightened ones&lt;/em&gt;, the&lt;em&gt; intelligentsia&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;academia&lt;/em&gt;, in the universities; referred to as &lt;em&gt;useful idiots&lt;/em&gt; by Josef Stalin, who were used to spread the flawed political philosophy. The ignorant, uneducated masses were very susceptible to the propaganda that was being fed to them and as had been done with the S&lt;em&gt;torming of the Bastille Prison&lt;/em&gt; in France, brought down King Louis the XVI and his Queen Marie Antoinette a century earlier; the same tactic of turning the citizens against the government, had accomplished the same thing in Russia. Their strategies included the sabotaging of their own in order to blame it on the government. &lt;strong&gt;Do you the&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;see similarities in the current political situation in this country, especially in the area in which our once trusted news media is now the media arm of the Democrat party? &lt;/strong&gt;Using their propaganda machine, the Bolsheviks spread rumors, and outright lies to blame the country's ails on the government. Of course, the opulent lifestyle of the Romanov's, the royal bloodline of Imperial Russia didn't help matters. It was a demonic Russian Orthodox monk named Rasputin that wedged his way into the Royal family and Czarina Alexandria, the wife of Nicholas fell under his demonic spell when he miraculously healed one of the royal children who was ill at the time. Royal blue bloods were very susceptible to hemophilia and would contract diseases that ordinary people were immune. Rasputin became very close to the Czarina and a very influential family advisor. Eventually, Rasputin's advice brought down a Royal House that had ruled in Russia for over two hundred years. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In order for Communism and Socialism to get a foothold, there must be a lot of poverty and enough people to believe that the government is the answer to all their needs. Class envy must be prevalent, and in the United States, the only time class envy exists is when one political party panders to those that feel as though they are entitled or owed something to them by the government. There are about ten percent of our population that believe that it is the government's responsibility to provide all their needs from cradle to the grave. This group, referred to as the poor, losers in life's lottery, do little to nothing to help themselves, and &lt;em&gt;poverty&lt;/em&gt; is their &lt;em&gt;comfort zone&lt;/em&gt;; don't dare ask them to get out of their &lt;em&gt;comfort zone&lt;/em&gt; by going to work or make any kind of effort to better their situation. These dysfunctional human beings contribute little, produces the least, but expects the most from the government, sit around and wait on their government checks and complain that it isn't enough; not even a thank you to those who had their hard earned money taken from them and given to those who did nothing to earn it. This is the group Jesus referred to as, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the poor you will always have with you&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. There is one political party that panders to this group and have been making promises for over sixty years, beginning with the &lt;em&gt;New Deal&lt;/em&gt;, and the last time I checked, they are still poor. You guessed it; the Democrat Party.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Now, the hard left and liberals control the Democrat Party. About forty percent of the American population calls themselves Democrats. They are made up all sorts of radical left wing groups, led by a considerable number of draft dodgers and anti war malcontents from the sixties. You will find abortionists, gay and lesbians, National Organization of Women, environmentalist extremists, Marxists, Communists and Socialists within its ranks. The Civil Rights Movement has had its credibility compromised by their association with these fringe groups. There are few original Democrats left, most who have left the party and now reside in the Republican or Libertarian parties. They make their homes on the campuses of major universities and you can find them at busy intersections downtown on a Friday afternoon with their &lt;em&gt;War is Not the Answer&lt;/em&gt; signs. The Marxists, Communists and Socialists are flexing their muscles with their charismatic candidate for President, Barack Hussein Obama, the great unifier; the &lt;em&gt;messiah&lt;/em&gt; as referred to by Louis Farrakhan; and Superman as Obama suggests himself. With the help of the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media,&lt;/em&gt; the Democrats are being sold the notion that they are going to control three branches of government; the Executive Branch with Obama as President, The House with at least two hundred and fifty Democrats seated , and a filibuster, veto-proof Senate with at least sixty members. I think the American people realize what would happen to their country if that happened, because there would no longer be any checks and balances and the Democrats could remake the country into whatever the want. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives has been spouting off a lot lately, confidently saying that the Democrats are going to pick up anywhere from thirty to fifty seats in the House. I have my doubts about that, especially so when Congress' approval numbers are lower than the &lt;em&gt;lame duck president, &lt;/em&gt;George W. Bush. Also, it is fresh on the people's minds about the bailout which the Democrats pushed so hard for, and most people now realize that it was Democrat policies and programs, like the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fiasco, that they stood in the way of reform, put this country in economic chaos when those two enterprises went belly up. I personally feel they cannot fix anything but raise taxes which is only a band aid for a symptom and not a fix for the problem. Corruption within the Democrat Party is the real problem and Nancy Pelosi falls into that category along with Harry Reid, who has had questionable real estate deals of his own in Nevada, his home state. All the names surrounding the collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are Democrats, like Rep. Barney Frank, Sen. Chris Dodd, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelick, Jim Johnson, and Barack Obama himself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Personally, I am against voting early because it expands the opportunity for voter fraud. Also, the campaign is not over, and if suddenly a startling revelation is made public about a candidate, and it effects how you feel politically, then you are stuck. There is no way to change your vote. Obama, just yesterday in Florida, was encouraging his supporters to vote early; probably to lock up their vote just in case someone &lt;em&gt;lets the cat out of the bag&lt;/em&gt; about him. Georgia, being one of the few states to allow early voting, has shown that a greater number of Democrats are voting earlier than Republicans and Independents. This of course is something else the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; can use in spreading their misinformation. Right now, I am so concerned about everyone voting, I will encourage you to go ahead and vote early since you know that there is nothing that can change your mind. Meanwhile, pray for America and our candidates will be victorious on election day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Daniel Casey 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-3041031139755783992?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/3041031139755783992'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/3041031139755783992'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2008/10/obama-pelosi-reid-dont-count-your.html' title='OBAMA.

Joe, real name Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, was the one who asked Obama at a rally last Monday, &lt;strong&gt;"why do you want to raise my taxes?"&lt;/strong&gt; Obama's answer was recorded for everyone to hear,&lt;strong&gt; "....I want to spread the wealth around."&lt;/strong&gt; McCain referred to that statement during the debate and it was the turning point for McCain, putting Obama on the defensive. This of course caused the political analysts at the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; to start scrutinizing Joe the Plumber, trying to discredit him. After the debate, it was all I could do to keep from puking at the commentary that was being put out by the phonies that call themselves broadcast journalists. It got worse in the following days as Joe the Plumber appeared on a couple of early morning news shows and gave a press conference attended by the big media. Below are some of the asinine statements by these so called political experts in the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media &lt;/em&gt;followed by my own commentary of these knuckle heads. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;JOHN BERMAN: It doesn't actually appear he's a licensed plumber, and, it does appear there are some issues about past taxes. There are records of a tax lean filed against Joe! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I have had two plumbers to do moonlight work for me the last year and neither one had a license. All a license is, a piece of paper that you file with the city or country to let them know to tax you. I have had a second job as a wedding and special events photographer and never once did I have a license to do business. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;WYATT ANDREWS: The man whose personal story steered a presidential debate over taxes, owes some $1,200 in back taxes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;So what? Taxes are a real burden when you are trying to make a living working for yourself, trying to support your family and keep the business going. Does that make his question any less valid? Owing $1200 in back taxes probably makes him more concerned that he has to pay more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;DAVID "RODHAM" GERGEN: When we found out he was Sam the Non-plumber, it changed a little bit. (he! he!) Why the McCain team didn't vet the guy... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A perfect example of how the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; try to discredit or even destroy some one that shines the light on their fabricated candidate who reinvents himself every day. As for using his middle name, my late brother in law went by his middle name because the family could distinguish him from his father who had the same first name, which by the way was &lt;strong&gt;Sam&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;ROLAND MARTIN: Joe, you know, the fake plumber...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Really? Does he use pvc fake pipes and fake pvc cement, and crawls under fake crawl spaces under other people's houses.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;ANDERSON COOPER: Joe is not actually a licensed plumber. He admits he's not making anywhere close to a quarter million. His name is actually not Joe; at least that's not his first name. His name is Sam: Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Maybe he's looking for the American Dream; perhaps one day owning his own company where he hires a lot of people and he makes more than $250,000 a year. If he's going to be penalized for being successful, and have his money that he earned given to someone who didn't earn it, why bother?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;CHRISTOPHER HAYES: There's this tremendous gap between the mythical creature of Joe the Plumber and the actual real-life guy, and we see this time and time again. Sarah Palin is a perfect example. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hypocrite!&lt;/strong&gt; You accuse this man and Sarah Palin being mythical when your man, Barack Hussein Obama, the one you continue to cover for, prop up, elevate, praise, and promote, won't even produce a valid birth certificate to prove that he is actually who he says he is or that he is actually a citizen of the United States?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;It is no wonder hardly anyone watches these leftist political talk shows. They are nothing more than propagandists who are trying to force a Marxist president on the American people, using phony contrived polls, spin, deception, out right lies, and character assasination to discredit or destroy anyone who shines the light on them. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The polls between the two presidential candidates are tightening and Obama is in prevent defense, trying to stop the McCain-Palin rush at the finish line by running out the clock. To use the NFL analogy, how many times when you have seen two teams go into the fourth quarter and one team has a two or three score lead on their opponent, and they decide to sit on their lead and try to run out the clock. They go into prevent defense, trying not to give up the big play, but in doing so, give up a lot of yards, enabling the losing team to make a good comeback and win in the final seconds. This happened last Sunday between the Atlanta Falcons and the Chicago Bears. I am going to shout from the roof top when their man is defeated. What are they going to do and where are they going to go when all that they have done, all the misinformation and bias, twice the amount of money of their competitor has been spent trying to buy the election, and sacrificing the good name of a once honorable profession. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Of course, the Plumbers locals have come out against Joe the Plumber because he is not one of them. Really? I wonder why so many companies that allow their employees decide whether or not they would want a union, more often than not, turn down the chance to be unionized. Walmart being one; Delta Airlines, another. There are a lot of people who feel they don't need a union. I have been a union member, but not for long, because they had lost their effectiveness a long time ago. Living in a right to work state like Georgia, you're only giving your money away and are getting little to nothing in return. Sorry, but unions have out lived their usefulness and often find themselves on the losing end in bidding for contracts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;As for Joe the Plumber, he has tweaked the noses of the lib media. His question has made a lot of Americans aware of what we will lose if the Democrats and the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream&lt;/em&gt; media have their way. Now they are crying, foul and are claiming that Joe was a plant by Karl Rove; how absurd. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;There is a backlash forming against Obama, and their own internal polling data is showing indicators for concern. The Obama campaign has purchased thirty minutes of airtime on &lt;strong&gt;Fox&lt;/strong&gt;, before a Major League Baseball playoff game to try to win back some of the support that have lost. Meanwhile, the McCain-Palin surge is contiuing, with crowds at rallies getting larger and the excitement building. Obama is not attracting the large crowds he once was, and now people are growing weary of seeing his face on television everytime they turn around. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;There are about twenty percent of undecided voters that are starting to take a close look at the candidates, and its looking a lot better for McCain than for Obama. This is going to go down to the wire. This election if not over, by a longshot. I think the Democrats, the no longer mainstream media, and the Obama campaign are in for a rude awakening on election night. The plannned, big Obama victory party may turn out to be an expensive wailing wake and a gnashing of teeth prelude to their just reward in the coming days. Neither are the Democrats, who have been saying all along they will have a veto proof, non filibuster super majority in the House and the Senate, nor will pick up any where near the number of seats they have predicted, and will barely maintain control. Don't think twice about it; we are going to win, and the Democrats and their accomplices in the&lt;em&gt; no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; are going to be the big losers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Casey 2008&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-776733518579268269?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/776733518579268269/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=776733518579268269' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/776733518579268269'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/776733518579268269'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2008/10/joe-is-not-real-plumber-because-hes-not.html' title='JOE IS NOT A REAL PLUMBER BECAUSE HE&apos;S NOT A MEMBER OF THE UNION'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SPoSODgjTZI/AAAAAAAAAsA/1vKrbZoF8tY/s72-c/Joe+the+Plumber+with+Obama.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-8762160729669700610</id><published>2008-10-15T21:53:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-16T01:33:44.500-04:00</updated><title type='text'>WAIT! HEY DEMOCRATS:THE ELECTION'S NOT OVER</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Listening to the post debate discussions on the broadcast networks was a gut wrenching exercise in trying to keep one's self from puking. I'm not going to get into any specifics, but I feel sure you know what I mean. Even before the debate earlier in the day, the political hacks that call themselves broadcast journalists were giving their last rites to John McCain. Tonight, according to the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt;, it's over for McCain; he didn't do well enough to overcome his voter deficit. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Already, Nancy Polosi and Harry Reid are busy mapping out how they are going to redirect the country the first 100 days after the election. The pollsters are showing Barack Obama with a substantial lead in some states with a slim lead in others. The Obama people are rubbing their hands together with anticipation. The &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; are still reporting the news as they want it to be rather than what it really is. For example, they know that Sarah Palin is drawing large crowds, and Obama is not. Also, a lot of Hillary Clinton supporters have raised a half million dollars for the McCain-Palin campaign, but are reporting that Sarah Palin's hostile, inflammatory rhetoric is driving away moderates and independents. That, of course, is designed to get her to be quiet and tone down her message. Moderates are liberals pretending to be undecided when they are liberals first, any way. Independents for the most part are Democrats in waiting. Thank God for Sarah Palin's passion. In the final outcome, her growing popularity is going to be the factor that decides the election. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The current economic situation is not helping the Republicans even though they are &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; the ones who caused the worst financial crisis since the Depression. Our candidate has taken the populist approach in condemning Wall Street when he could have been all over this issue. The turmoil in the stock market is &lt;strong&gt;reacting more out of fear&lt;/strong&gt; that Obama may be the next president; not because of the bailout, which some are saying is not enough even though it is a bad deal for taxpayers. The Democrats keep repeating the lie that Wall Street greed and capitalism is being blamed when Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac went belly up are clearly the reason why so many banks have failed. Wall Street did not invest in sub prime mortgages, nor did it give loans to people who couldn't pay them back and put people into homes that they couldn't afford. This was a Democrat program through and through, starting with Jimmy Carter, amplified and embellished by Bill Clinton, and defended vigorously by Democrats much in the same manner they defend Social Security, which according to most financial experts, is hopelessly doomed and will collapse under its own inefficiency. It doesn't matter that Rep. Barney Frank, Sen. Chris Dodd, Sen. Chuck Schumer and even Barack himself, all Democrats, received large campaign contributions from Fannie and Freddie and they are the ones that kept saying that there was nothing wrong with the two mortgage lenders and continued to run interference for them. There's a long list of names, and the only ones being mentioned are Democrats. Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson, Jamie Gorelick; all connected to the Obama campaign in some way, have all received huge salaries and bonuses, and sweetheart deals based on cooked books; fraud on a grand scale. The Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac debacle is reeking of corruption in high places and they should be prosecuted. However, if Obama is elected, forget it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Two years ago, when the Democrats took control of both Houses of Congress, ran on the &lt;em&gt;"Republican culture of corruption"&lt;/em&gt; clause in campaigning against the GOP. With the help of their accomplices in the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt;, they jumped on a Florida Congressman who sent some inappropriate text messages to a Congressional page. The Congressman, Mark Foley stepped down, and the Democrat that replaced him, Tim Mahoney, is now involved in a scandal that minimizes Mark Foley's untimely bad judgement. The news media had known for months about Foley, but used it as an &lt;em&gt;October surprise&lt;/em&gt; and chose to break the story a week before the mid-term election. It cost the Republicans a seat in the House. Mahoney, on the other hand is accused of paying $121,000 in hush money to a woman whom he was having an affair, which Mahoney denies he used campaign funds to pay off the woman. Now, DNC Chairman Rohm Emmanuel is implicated in a subsequent cover up and the spin doctors are in a tizzy trying to explain all this away. Of course, the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; are trying to put this under the radar and are doing their best to ignore the story.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Add to that, &lt;strong&gt;ACORN&lt;/strong&gt;, a Chicago, community action group, funded by the American taxpayers, benefited from the generosity of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with other people's money, in which Barack Obama has been involved, is being investigated in about fifteen states where voter fraud is being discovered. &lt;strong&gt;ACORN&lt;/strong&gt;, which has close ties to William Ayers, a former member of the radical&lt;strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;sixties&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; anti-war and government group, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Weather Underground&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, a bomber of government buildings in Detroit and Washington where there were people killed, and now a college professor in Illinois. Obama denies any association with Ayers, but it is known that he launched his political career in the living room of Ayers' home. Obama's book, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dreams of My Father &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;may not be authored by Obama at all, but ghost written by Ayers, because it reads like Ayers and doesn't sound much like Obama at all. The truth about this will come out, hopefully before the election. In the third and final Presidential Debate, Obama denied any association with Ayers when confronted by McCain. This lie will be exposed and it could cost Obama the election, that is if the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; start doing their job. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The figures don't add up when it comes to campaign financing. How is it that Obama has received two to three times as much money, supposedly from grass roots supporters? There is fraud here as well; and campaign financing laws have been broken as well money being received from other countries; some donors with radical Muslim connections and enemies of the United States. When is the Justice Department going to start investigating this? After the election? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;There are other cases against Obama and his campaign, and I think the polls leading up to election day are going to be just as wrong as they were in the past two presidential elections. When people start looking closely, and I don't think a lot of them have yet, ask themselves the question whether or not they can trust this man whom they know so little. I think that once they are inside the voting booth, most of them may feel they will have to vote for McCain, whether they like him or not.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Watching the debate was hard for me because I just can't stand to look at a liar. John McCain did display a little fire when he confronted Obama on William Ayers and ACORN and while Obama sat there beside him looking at the desktop, laughing at McCain's &lt;em&gt;preposterous&lt;/em&gt; accusations, McCain came off as being being wide eyed, deadly serious; almost angry. Obama, again tried to claim that he wasn't going to tax middle income Americans when he was caught on tape just the day before when a plumber, a small business owner asked him why he was going to raise his taxes? Obama said on tape that he wanted to spread the wealth around. McCain did well in describing his economic strategy in lowering taxes to jump start the economy and create jobs. Obama, is now trying to appear more conservative than any other time in the campaign, and I personally don't think its working for him. McCain, after all is McCain, and I felt as though he did better than the two prior debates, but it took a while for him to get wound up. The political analysts are saying that McCain is resorting to smear out of panic because he is so far behind. I suppose if you are so deep in the tank for a candidate like the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; is, you'll say anything to prop up your man even though your credibility is shot to hell; you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Only nineteen days to election day. Voter turn out is going to be another record number. Don't let the long lines scare you. Get there early, but be prepared to be in line for a least an hour if you're not there when the doors open. Just make sure you vote. Don't listen to the broadcast news propagandists; they are trying to discourage you by telling you that it's pointless for you to stand in line for such a long time. I don't care if its raining cats and dogs, make sure you are there. If you have early voting in your area, take advantage of it. Just make sure you vote. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Casey 2008&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-8762160729669700610?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/8762160729669700610/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=8762160729669700610' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/8762160729669700610'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/8762160729669700610'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2008/10/wait-hey-democratsthe-elections-not.html' title='WAIT!

It's no wonder considering all the media bias in reporting polls as news stories on a daily basis, and the airwaves are saturated with Obama for President ads. The Obama campaign has received almost half a billion dollars in contributions, a lot of people are wondering how is it that he is able to collect three times more than John McCain? Then there is all the talk about voter fraud, how ACORN is about registering homeless people who don't have proper id or a legal address as voters and then hand delivering them over so they can vote absentee, and what's to prevent them from going to another side of town and doing the same thing, again, again, and again? Of course there are people like me, who have the opinion that the McCain campaign has dropped the ball and hasn't done what it takes to win elections. Yes, we are deeply concerned because we have a lot to lose. I know, its hard to remain optimistic, but perhaps the following might provide some comfort for you. The following prophesy was received by a member of Living Way Church in Stockbridge, Georgia and wishes to remain anonymous; so don't ask.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD AND YOU ARE MY SHEEP. I KNOW MY SHEEP AND MY&lt;br /&gt;SHEEP KNOW ME. THEY RECOGNIZE MY VOICE WHEN I SPEAK AND WILL NOT BE&lt;br /&gt;DECEIVED BY THOSE WHO COME AS WOLVES DRESSED LIKE SHEEP. THROUGH MY&lt;br /&gt;PROPHETS I WILL SPEAK TO MY SHEEP AND MY SHEEP WILL KNOW MY&lt;br /&gt;PROPHETS FOR MY PROPHETS WILL SAY MY WORDS AND WARN THEM WHEN&lt;br /&gt;THE FALSE PROPHETS COME TO LEAD THEM AWAY. THE FALSE PROPHETS WILL&lt;br /&gt;COME AND PROMISE MUCH IN THEIR LIES AND DECEIT. THEY WILL NOT STEAL MY&lt;br /&gt;SHEEP BECAUSE MINE KNOW THE SHEPHERD'S VOICE. THOSE THAT ARE NOT MINE&lt;br /&gt;WILL BE DECEIVED AND WILL FOLLOW THE WOLVES DRESSED LIKE SHEEP. THEY&lt;br /&gt;WILL OPPOSE THE SHEPHERD AND WILL TRY TO STEAL HIS SHEEP. MY TRUE&lt;br /&gt;SHEEP WILL TRUST THE SHEPHERD AND REMAIN WITH ME, BUT A FEW WILL BE&lt;br /&gt;DECEIVED AND LEAVE THE FLOCK, AND THEY WILL BE EATEN BY THE WOLVES&lt;br /&gt;DRESSED LIKE SHEEP.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;THE GOOD SHEPHERD REQUIRES ONE IN GOVERNMENT TO LEAD THE SHEEP. I&lt;br /&gt;HAVE RAISED UP ONE, IN WHOM THERE IS NO GUILE, FOR THIS TIME WHO WILL&lt;br /&gt;LEAD THE SHEEP THROUGH CHAOS AND TRIBULATION; WHO WILL DEFEND THEM&lt;br /&gt;WITH HER LIFE. SHE IS THE NAME SAKE OF THE ONE WHO WAS THE MOTHER OF&lt;br /&gt;THE CHILD OF THE PROMISE, WHO BECAME THE FATHER OF NATIONS THROUGH,&lt;br /&gt;WHICH MY SON WAS BORN OF WOMAN. MANY WILL OPPOSE AND SLANDER HER;&lt;br /&gt;WILL SAY ALL SORTS OF EVIL AGAINST HER FALSELY, BUT I WILL STRENGTHEN&lt;br /&gt;HER AND SHE WILL STAND APART, AMONG KINGS AND OF MEN.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;I, THE LORD HAVE SPOKEN THROUGH HIS PROPHET.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Many of you probably don't put much credence in so called &lt;em&gt;modern day prophesies&lt;/em&gt;, but I do, because I want to. I find those words comforting even though it mentions nothing about the upcoming election. It does say to me that we are to remain true to our principles because &lt;strong&gt;God&lt;/strong&gt; retains control of the situation, and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;all things work to the good to those that love God&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; I know that with &lt;strong&gt;God&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;all things are possible&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. We are &lt;strong&gt;overcomers&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;we can overcome any obstacle or stumbling block placed before us by the enemy.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; So it doesn't make any difference how much money the other side spends trying to buy the election, nor does it turn a lie into truth, or how many fraudulent voters become criminals in the process. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;God's Will Shall Be Done on Earth as It is in Heaven.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Casey 2008&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-5263327580153833553?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/5263327580153833553/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=5263327580153833553' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/5263327580153833553'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/5263327580153833553'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2008/10/sarah-palin-prophesy.html' title='SARAH PALIN PROPHESY'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-3687262012036964758</id><published>2008-10-09T07:49:00.010-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-09T10:44:56.217-04:00</updated><title type='text'>IT'S TIME FOR A REALITY CHECK</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;You may be wondering why there hasn't been any&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; SCREEMIN' EAGLE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; newsletter posted by me this week and I offer my apologies. It's not that I hadn't written one, as a matter of fact, I have written two, but my wife Meg advised me not to post the other one. The other one was written following all the recent news reports by the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; regarding the financial woes we and our country are experiencing and all the finger pointing at Republicans from the other side. The title of the other article was, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;HOW DOES A CHICAGO SOUTH SIDE POT HEAD BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; I have to admit, it was the strongest, most negative report I have ever made against those on the other side and Meg warned me that it would put my credibility in danger, sounding as venomous and hostile as their attacks against us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was born out of my frustration of our candidate, John McCain, in failing to take the initiative in laying the blame for this mother of all financial messes on the Democrats. It is clear to anyone with any idea of what's going on that this is a problem that came about as a result of Democrat programs and policies. We had an opportunity to score big points with this one, but instead we find ourselves defending ourselves because once again the Democrats have turned the table and are blaming us for a mess they created. McCain, speaking in New Mexico earlier this week, stepped up his attack on the Democrats blaming them for the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac scandals. When hearing this, like many of you, I was both surprised and glad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, for the &lt;strong&gt;REALITY CHECK&lt;/strong&gt;. There is a reason for my passion regarding this year's election. It's what we have at stake and what we as Americans stand to lose if the other man wins the presidency. At no time in the history of this country, since the &lt;em&gt;War Between the States&lt;/em&gt; have the differences been so starkly defined. This is clearly a war, a culture and ideological war between two diametrically opposed governing philosophies; free enterprise and Marxist socialism. It's a lot more than paying more in taxes and redistributing the wealth; its what you stand to lose in freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the Democrats win the presidency and as most political pundits have predicted, win a veto proof Senate majority and pick up another thirty to fifty seats in the House of Representatives, along with an already liberally stacked Supreme Court, there will no longer be any checks and balances, and they will be able to implement any program or policy they want, unrestrained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They would be able to impose whatever ludicrous law they want on the citizens of this country. They would be able to &lt;strong&gt;remove&lt;/strong&gt; tithes and offerings to Churches and religious institutions as tax deductions. They would &lt;strong&gt;secularize&lt;/strong&gt; the government to the point that they will remove &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;One Nation, Under God&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; from our Pledge of Allegiance and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;In God We Trust&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; from our currency and public buildings. The&lt;strong&gt; Gay and Lesbian Agenda&lt;/strong&gt; would become interwoven into the fabric of our society. They would be able to &lt;strong&gt;tell&lt;/strong&gt; you where your child will go to school. They &lt;strong&gt;will&lt;/strong&gt; tell you where you will go to receive your health care. They will be able to tell you what kind of car or how many you may own. They would &lt;strong&gt;stifle free speech&lt;/strong&gt; and shut down anyone critical of them. They would &lt;strong&gt;silence talk r&lt;/strong&gt;adio by re implementing the &lt;strong&gt;fairness doctrine&lt;/strong&gt;, which isn't fair at all because they already have control of big broadcast, print media and the entertainment industry. If that doesn't frighten you, then you are blind, deaf and dumb and would stand to benefit in what they have to offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is within their &lt;em&gt;Grand Plan&lt;/em&gt;, call it &lt;em&gt;Central Planning&lt;/em&gt;, where the government will control everything, from Washington. States rights would all be but negated entirely. If these Marxist-Socialists have their way and get at least half the people in this country receiving some sort of benefit from them, then they will perpetually entrenched in their seats of power, because it will be very unlikely they would ever be voted out of office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Presidential Debate this past Tuesday night was boring, but it was another look at how the left has gotten control of the media in this country. Tom Brokaw, since his retirement, the leftist that he is, from NBC has made it clear where his positions are politically, was the moderator of the debate, stayed clear of any topics that their candidate, Barack Hussein Obama would be considered vulnerable. There were questions about global warming, climate change and the environment, health care, the bad economy which they hope to pin on the Republicans, and who would you name as Secretary of the Treasury if elected president? There were no questions regarding,&lt;strong&gt; abortion&lt;/strong&gt;, the continued &lt;strong&gt;War on Terror&lt;/strong&gt;, the&lt;strong&gt; military&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;homeland security&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;immigration&lt;/strong&gt;. Obama supported &lt;strong&gt;infanticide&lt;/strong&gt; as a legislator in the Illinois State Senate and McCain could have made a lot more of it. McCain did blame the financial crisis on the Democrats, but it wasn't enough. The debate had better ratings than the first one, but not by much and it didn't factor much in the polls of the two candidates because objectively, neither candidate scored big on the other.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Most tracking polls have both candidates about even, a couple give Obama about a two percent edge, but that's well within the margin of error. John Kerry had an eleven point advantage over George W. Bush at this stage four years ago, and this has the commentators on the liberal political talk shows on MSNBC and CNN already preparing to blame racism on Obama's defeat in case he loses. James Carville, on CNN, even eluded to race riots would break out if Obama was leading in the polls going into the election and he loses. Of course, memory fades from them as John Kerry was leading in the exit polls on election day four years ago and lost by six million votes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will let you in on a little secret. I am not voting for John McCain this November. Shocked? Actually, you shouldn't be. I am voting for Sarah Palin. Yes, I contributed to McCain's campaign but only after I got that letter from the RNC and Sarah Palin. Palin, lately has taken it to Obama and she does not mince words and pulls no punches. She is doing what McCain should be doing. If McCain loses, there will be no one's fault but his. If he wins, it won't be because of anything he said or did; it will be because of Sarah Palin. We all know that McCain is not a conservative, just like George H.W. Bush was no conservative, and George W., well he's conservative on some things and not so conservative on others. We all know where Sarah Palin is on all the issues; she doesn't have to pretend, or deceive anyone into believing that she is someone other than who she really is; which is why I think she is so popular. Being the most impotent candidate the Republicans could put up, McCain does have one excellent executive decision to his credit, and that saved his campaign; naming Sarah Palin as his VP running mate. Joe Biden is the ball connected to Obama's chain; McCain is the ball that is attached to Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin's biggest task will be dragging John McCain across the finish line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Casey 2008&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-3687262012036964758?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/3687262012036964758/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=3687262012036964758' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/3687262012036964758'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/3687262012036964758'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2008/10/its-time-for-reality-check.html' title='IT&apos;S TIME FOR A REALITY CHECK'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-7484895394244639512</id><published>2008-10-03T12:05:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-03T12:50:04.738-04:00</updated><title type='text'>SARAH PALIN, THE NEW ESTHER?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The following is an article sent to me by one of readers of this blog. I was taken by it, especially following up the piece I posted yesterday, October 2. What follows is a reprint from the Strang Report on October 2. The person sending it to me says she was moved to tears and when I read, I was too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HERE'S ONE FOR YOU... a prophecy for Sarah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This just came out in the Strang report.. Oct 2 A burden for prayer came over this pastor and he wept and prayed for Sarah and McCain and the Lord spoke a message to him and told him to give it to Sarah and McCain personally.... the story tells how the Lord got him face to face with them and holding hands in Lebanon, Ohio...and he gave both Sarah and McCain the message from the Lord, and Sarah cried, and Todd her husband cried, and McCain thanked him profusely.... you'll like this one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pastor Mark Arnold of Lebanon, Ohio, writes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sept. 9, the McCain/Palin bus came through a little town called Lebanon, Ohio. The Lord allowed me to go to the rally [to give McCain and Palin] a message that He wanted me to personally deliver. Sunday Night: A burden hit me that would only shake me to my knees--I prayed and wept for our nation. Never has my heart been so broken before God. I literally interceded for these wonderful people who do not deserve all the hate against them. The God-haters are going to try everything to stop them, but they will not succeed! God is not pleased with the “bashing” in the news of this “anointed” person [Sarah Palin]. He has called her for this time! I promised God that I would pray and hold them up in prayer. I would “listen” out and be mindful of where they were.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following day is important in this time line ... because I didn't even know until God spoke to me. Monday and into Monday night: The burden of prayer was so heavy that I was literally shaking and could not stop weeping. I didn't know that they were coming to Ohio. I prayed and walked and wept and walked. I prayed and prayed and wept and prayed.Tuesday at 2:00 am, God spoke these words to me: “Go turn the radio on!” Immediately the reporter's words were, “McCain &amp;amp; Palin bus to be in Lebanon later this morning for a 10:00 a.m. rally!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immediately on hearing that news, I heard God again. God said, “You are to go. You will meet them and give them a message for Me!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I prayed as an intercessor and went to a place in prayer that I don't think I've ever been … because the Lord had just visited me … and I knew I was on a “mission.” I had now been up since Sunday night … and now it's Tuesday and I've got to go on the “Word of the Lord.” He sure became my strength as this unfolds. I didn't stop praying until I drove over to the town and parked the car. The news would later report they were expecting 5,000 people, [but] the actual head-count of those who had been scanned was more than 10,000 people.I simply obeyed … and God actually told me where to stand, who to talk to … and when to be on the move. I had sure learned on the mission field, when God wants to open a door, He will do it at the appropriate time. He always has someone to assist … and even those standing beside you may just be an angel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I struck up a conversation with an agent on the ground. He simply said, “I can't allow you to stand here!” Here is where the bus was going to actually pull up to. They had to make a much larger perimeter, so the entire area was now being moved back several blocks. The only other thing he told me to do was to go through the metal detector zone and just watch from the back. So, that's what I did. Due to [the] sensitivity of the Internet, I can't share much of the story. As to what happened next, [it] was a definite God thing all the way. Looking over the shoulders and backs and heads of all those people … I knew it would take a miracle for what God told me to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was standing there, two Boy Scouts came running up my back. Literally, they almost knocked me to the ground because they were running so fast behind me, up my back and over to the right. These Boy Scouts were about Junior High age. Their Scout Leader and several others were behind them, but as the two out front [were] trying to push through the crowd, saying they were late, the smaller scouts were left in their dust. The Scout Leader, who was with a McCain rep. from the State, grabbed me and told me [to] bring the other Scouts up front as they try to keep up with the first two that just came through. I just became the leader of the rest of the Scouts to lead them right up front and center. As the rep. was shouting back at me to bring the Scouts forward, the people parted just like God parted the Red Sea. I marched those boys right up front and to the right of the stage as one was looking from the back. When I got there I was fifteen feet from the podium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God said, “Stand here, and don't move from this spot.”Within five minutes the bus pulled up, and around the other side McCain, Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd, stepped up and the speeches took off. I was where God placed me … and even Sarah Palin and Todd were standing on my side of the stage. I made eye contact, I gave them thumbs-up gestures … and I knew they were just happy to see me standing there. Ha ha. When they came around the podium and started on the other side, I knew they were coming right toward me. A little lady who stood by me, reached up and told the rep. that they had promised a picture with her because she was the one who had lost a son in Iraq recently. The rep. confirmed she would get a pic with them and they would talk to her. When McCain came to hug her … he immediately shook my hand and following his moment with her, I shook his hand as he grabbed my hand, now for the second time, and I said, “God wants you to know that I'm praying for you, Sir!” He thanked me and kept smiling. I repeated that phrase to him five times. He grabbed my hands and looked right into my eyes and said, “I won't make it without prayer. Sir, thank you for praying for me, and don't let one day go by that you don't pray for me. I need all the prayers that I can get. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”As he moved to my right, Sarah Palin came over to my left side … standing over the crowd and then looking at the little lady who had lost the son. It took a moment for her to shake some hands and people were pushing in all around. Sarah came and got on her hands and knees on that side of the stage and hugged that little mom, telling her, “It was not in vain.” She promised her support.It was at this moment Sarah Palin reached out for me to help her up, and as I was assisting her to stand, I was now face-to-face with her, and God said, “Open up your mouth and I will fill it.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is what came out, “God wants you to know that you are a present-day Esther!”[She immediately began to cry!]“God wants to tell you that you are chosen for such a time as this!”“You are called, and chosen to be a leader.”“Don't lose heart and don't fear man.”“The news and naysayers and criticizers are going to be very hateful toward you … and in the days ahead they are going to turn up the heat … but do not fear.”“You are a present-day Esther.” You are an Esther. You are an Esther!“Keep your eyes on God and know that He has chosen you to reign!”“Stay strong ... be strong ... don't tire. Don't be weary in well-doing. Be strong.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her husband, Todd, came over, and I told him what I told her. He began to cry.I emphasized the fact that he was to guard her at this time … and know that “she is God-called and God-anointed.”“This is a God-thing and your wife is a present-day Esther ... she is for God to use at this time ... she is an Esther ... she is an Esther ... she is an Esther.”“You will be hated … but stand strong … God has called both of you to stand!”“We are praying and I am praying for you!”At this moment, McCain came right to where I was finishing talking to Todd, and I told Mr. McCain exactly what I told to Sarah and Todd Palin.“Mr. McCain … they are called of God and she is an Esther.”“Don't lose hope and don't lose heart.”“We are praying for all of you!”He shook my hand and with a deep look of understanding what I had just said, he said, “Thank you for your prayers and support ... I really do mean that!”And he turned and shook more hands … and I watched them as they went through the crowd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I got to my car I sat there for quite a long time … knowing the God of the universe had just used me to deliver a message confirming to Sarah and Todd to realize they are truly chosen vessels of God. I wept. I have not stopped praying and crying. My heart is full knowing they had to have all the staging and all the hype and all the crowd … but the God of heaven and earth … wanted to give them a divine God-appointment! To God be all the glory and honor. If anyone wants to know if I believe God can speak. Yes … absolutely, is my answer! Be praying for me … and let me know what you think about all of this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pastor Mark Arnold&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial" href="http://www.agreeinprayer.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.agreeinprayer.com/&lt;/a&gt;MEA31975@&lt;a style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial" href="mailto:aol.comMEA31975@gmail.com" target="_blank"&gt;aol.com&lt;a style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial" href="mailto:MEA31975@gmail.com" target="_blank"&gt;MEA31975@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tel: (513) 291-0425&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-7484895394244639512?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/7484895394244639512/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=7484895394244639512' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/7484895394244639512'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/7484895394244639512'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2008/10/sarah-palin-new-esther.html' title='SARAH PALIN, THE NEW ESTHER?'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-4369902366168558765</id><published>2008-10-02T08:26:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-02T11:21:17.285-04:00</updated><title type='text'>SARAH PALIN, McCAIN'S ONLY HOPE</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SOTa6hhJ5gI/AAAAAAAAAm4/pVTJQkMYltc/s1600-h/Pied+Piper+Obama.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252563764385539586" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SOTa6hhJ5gI/AAAAAAAAAm4/pVTJQkMYltc/s400/Pied+Piper+Obama.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;October is finally here and as expected, the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; is doing whatever it takes to put their man Barack Hussein Obama into the White House. They are no longer trying to hide their bias; now all but endorsing their man. They continue their malpractice of broadcast journalism which sickens us who experienced the &lt;em&gt;golden age&lt;/em&gt; of television news. The news has always been liberal, but at least there was an appearance of objectivity and the anchors during that time at least did a good job of concealing their prejudices and biases and for the most part, an attempt was made to see that both sides of a story were covered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last evening, I made an attempt to watch some of the ABC Evening News with Charles Gibson. The first block of the news was politics, mostly centered around the bailout of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Wall Street which then transcended into the campaigns of the two presidential candidates. As expected, and history proves this because the technique is the same, the big three broadcast news orgs are using polls to tell the American people that it all but over for McCain. Any seasoned observer of politics in this country is not fooled by the spin and the misleading propaganda that is being put out by ABC, CBS, and especially NBC, who is by far and away the most flagrant user and guilty of journalistic malpractice. A good five minutes was devoted to explaining why McCain is losing ground and why Obama is gaining. Some of the tracking polls have Obama up by eight or nine percent. A couple of these polls have some credibility and this has me concerned, may be why this could be a true picture of what's going on. McCain, so far, has been a very impotent candidate. He has not attacked Obama on his weaknesses. He has not challenged him on his prior drug use or asked if he is still using illegal drugs. He hasn't been asked about his relationships with Chicago kingpin Tony Resco or William Ayers, a radical left wing saboteur who tried to bomb government buildings in Washington. He hasn't been asked about his financial dealings and where he got his money to go to Harvard? Or about political contributions from outside the United States, clearly against all campaign finance laws. Here are some more questions that McCain could have asked Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why are you hiding your Occidental College records? your Columbia College records? your Columbia Thesis paper?Your Harvard College records? Where is your Selective Service Registration? Your medical records? Your Illinois State Senate records? Your Illinois State Senate schedule? Your Law practice client list? Where is your certified copy of your original birth certificate? Your embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth? Your Harvard Law Review articles that were published? Your University of Chicago scholarly articles? Your Record of baptism? We know why the no longer mainstream media hasn't asked the questions and are trying to put anyone else off limits to asking these questions; because if the people knew who your really are, they would leave you like rats leaving a sinking ship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't fret Obama. You should have little to fear. Remember Marion Berry when he was Mayor of Washington, DC, who was caught trying to arrange a drug deal with FBI undercover agents. Even after he served time, the people in Washington reelected him mayor anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of conservatives are miffed at McCain for taking the populist opproach in attacking Wall Street investors and free enterprise as the reason for the corruption that clouds Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and saying that we all must share the blame. &lt;strong&gt;Road Hockey!!! &lt;/strong&gt;The only names I hear being mentioned are, Franklin Raines, Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama, Dick Durbin, Jamie Gorelic, Jim Johnson, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi; &lt;strong&gt;all Democrats&lt;/strong&gt;. And now they are ganging up on the poor regulator saying it was all his fault.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people I have talked to recently are fed up with Congress and are opposed to a bailout. But this is an election year, and politicians like Saxby Chambliss, Republican Senator from Georgia is being motivated by a spirit of fear instead of doing what is right. Chambliss has been a major disappointment for me, being one of those politicians who joined up with another crossover the aisle Republican Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and other renegade Republicans, claiming that's the only way things can get done is by bipartisanship. Why is it Senator Chambliss that &lt;strong&gt;whenever you get things done, or fix things, it always costs the taxpayers money?&lt;/strong&gt; I am perturbed by George W. Bush, another one who is trying to say we are all the blame and we must do a bailout. The problem is not Wall Street, or free enterprise; its you &lt;strong&gt;Democrats&lt;/strong&gt; and your incompetent cohorts in the House and Senate. Now the mantra is, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;its not for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; its for the economy. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;And who do you think is getting blamed for the economy? I'm sorry Mr. McCain, but you are doing a sorry job in placing the blame on the very ones who created it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of you are really concerned that we may lose this election this November. That's because you have been listening to the evening news. They cannot be trusted and my advice is, don't watch the evening news; it will only dishearten and discourage you. Just make sure you show up to vote this November. &lt;strong&gt;Fear not&lt;/strong&gt;; &lt;strong&gt;let not your heart be troubled&lt;/strong&gt;. I am going to stick my neck out again and say, that John McCain will win this election. It is not because of what he did o&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SOTfaDzCl-I/AAAAAAAAAnA/-dP_LhqgXnc/s1600-h/sp_photo_4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252568704209819618" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SOTfaDzCl-I/AAAAAAAAAnA/-dP_LhqgXnc/s400/sp_photo_4.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;r what he says. It's because, at the last minute, the people who don't know who Barak Obama is, will not risk this country to someone they know so little about. Of course, that will be offset by John McCain's lack of political savvy and aggressiveness. The one thing that the polls don't show is the effect that Sarah Palin will have on this election. Why do you think the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; are trashing her whenever they can? Why have they gone to so much trouble to dig up dirt on her? Why does the left consider Sarah Palin the &lt;em&gt;Most Dangerous Woman in America?&lt;/em&gt; Why is it that Oprah Winfrey will not have Sarah Palin on her Show? I will tell you why. &lt;strong&gt;Sarah Palin&lt;/strong&gt; will be the reason why John McCain will win this election, probably in a squeeker when it easily could have been a landslide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Casey 2008&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/275977736157022716-4369902366168558765?l=www.screemineagle.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/feeds/4369902366168558765/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=275977736157022716&amp;postID=4369902366168558765' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/4369902366168558765'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/275977736157022716/posts/default/4369902366168558765'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.screemineagle.com/2008/10/sarah-palin-mccains-only-hope.html' title='SARAH PALIN, McCAIN&apos;S ONLY HOPE'/><author><name>Dan Casey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13115291578989870474</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/TEC8CZdVB9I/AAAAAAAABDI/eQDf1WyibYw/S220/Dan+Portait+gate+yellow+and+white+cu+01.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jl-ffYC66AY/SOTa6hhJ5gI/AAAAAAAAAm4/pVTJQkMYltc/s72-c/Pied+Piper+Obama.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275977736157022716.post-7531124718423017410</id><published>2008-09-30T06:23:00.010-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-30T11:19:13.431-04:00</updated><title type='text'>INCOMPETENT DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP SHINES</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;This time a year ago, I did not have a clue that I would be doing what I am doing today. Recently retired from WSBTV for health reasons, where I had been a photojournalist for forty years, I thought I would serve the Lord in some way instead of wasting away my remaining days. Frankly, I didn't think I had long to live. My pastor at &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Living Way Church&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; in Stockbridge, Georgia, Scott Reece, started his own blog at &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MY CHURCH&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and notified members of his congregation about it. He was the one who inspired me to become a blogger. I was looking for something I could incorporate my journalistic background onto the written page; already involved in the television ministry at Living Way which I started in 1999, shortly after my wife Meg and I became members. I have been struggling to keep that going and there were times that I got so frustrated with it, I stepped away from it. Having my own blog seemed like a good thing for me. The intent, I suppose was more for selfish reasons than anything else; wanting to leave to my grand children something written down so they would know who I was after I am gone. I give Pastor Scott credit for the idea of my first blog, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COVENANT REWARDS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, which is still around, but is sort of in hiatus until after the upcoming election.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COVENANT REWARDS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; wasn't getting the attention I thought it deserved; seems like people just don't want to take the trouble to go blogging, so I started emailing it so they would at least have to open it up to see what it was before tossing it. The themes were topical, and relevant to today, and I really tried to keep politics out, but they somehow kept finding their way back in. To solve that problem, I started &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;SCREEMIN' EAGLE, Rantings of a Stark Raving Mad Conservative, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;keeping the two subjects separate. This was another suggestion by my Pastor Scott Reece. I told him that he needed stop giving me ideas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;SCREEMIN' EAGLE&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; took off and now I am getting emails from people I don't know asking me to add their name to the emailing list. Apparently, a lot of you have been forwarding these articles to friends and relatives which I really appreciate. Thank you. Now, I am committed to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;SCREEMIN' EAGLE.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Even though I don't receive one dime in compensation, it will continue because I am dedicated to preserving our Christian principles, our nation's precepts and principles on which our country was founded, preserving the American model of exceptionalism in the world, and pursuit of the American Dream and excellence. It is my ultimate goal to re establish the goal of &lt;strong&gt;Ronald Reagan&lt;/strong&gt; as the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;United States of America&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; as being the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Shining Light on the Hill &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;for the world to see. I am going to use &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;FREEDOM OF SPEECH, AND FREEDOM OF THE PRESS&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; to accomplish this goal, hopefully preventing the &lt;em&gt;radical&lt;/em&gt; left who make their home, who have co opted and now &lt;em&gt;control&lt;/em&gt; the Democrat Party in this country, from stealing it and redirecting us toward &lt;em&gt;socialism&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Marxism&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;There is one thing I want to make perfectly clear to all of you. These people will stop at nothing, will stoop to the lowest level, and spin, deceive and deliberately lie and use the power and influence of the &lt;em&gt;no longer mainstream media&lt;/em&gt; to accomplish their goals. The Banking and Wall Street Financial Crises, the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Scandals, and the screaming and yelling of the Democrats the past few days are indicative of the battle that is mounting. The very ones, the ones who are chairing the committees, the ones doing the questioning should be the ones being questioned. People like Barney Frank, Jamie Gorelick, Chuck Schumer, Chris Dodd, Franklin Raines, and even Barak Hussein Obama, the fabricated man who no one seems to know much about, all have received considerably large campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, these two entities looking more and more as the reason for the housing and credit crises of today.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Of course, the Democrats, known at being experts at re writing history couldn't blame the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac debacle on the Bush Administration. Ever since President Bush took office, from 2001 until 2008, has requested that there should be some over sight into the operations of the two enterprises. The White House has furnished documentation that proves that the Democrats were informed, but anytime any mention of over sight or and over haul was shouted down or ignored altogether. Our presidential candidate, John McCain should be jumping all over this; perhaps he will, but I hope it won't be too late. Democrats do well whenever the economy is tetering, even though their policies are the cause. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A brief lesson in history to give you some idea as to where we are and how we got here. Here are the principal characters in this fiasco.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In 1997 President Clinton's&lt;strong&gt; HUD&lt;/strong&gt; secretary, Andrew Cuomo, former governor of New York, famous for pouring $200,000,000 into New York states' education system and failed to raise the grade point average one point, claimed Fannie Mae had exhibited &lt;em&gt;racial discrimination&lt;/em&gt; and proposed that 50 percent of the GSEs' loan portfolio be made up of loans to low and moderate-income borrowers by 2001. Andrew Cuomo, known as Andrew the Pious, made a series of decisions between 1997 and 2001 that gave birth to the country's current crisis. He took actions that helped plunge Fannie and Freddie into the sub prime markets without putting in place the means to monitor their increasingly risky investments. He turned the Federal Housing Administration, FHA, into a sweetheart lender with sky-high loan ceilings and no money down, and legalized what a federal judge has branded "kickbacks" to brokers that have fueled the sale of overpriced and unsupportable loans. Three to four million families are now facing foreclosure, and Cuomo is one of the reasons why. This is what you can expect from liberals when they are in charge, and they want to raise your taxes so they can throw more of your hard earned money down their many rat holes&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;At the time, Democrat Cuomo said "GSE presence in the sub prime market could be of significant benefit to lower-income families, minorities, and families living in under served areas..."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The term affordable housing as come to mean housing the owners don't have to pay for and are paid by the taxpayers, a Marxist idea if there ever was one. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Rep. Barney Frank, Democrat from Massachusetts, whose former boyfriend worked for Freddie Mac, probably Fannie and Freddie's biggest defender, "I think it is clear that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are sufficiently secure so they are in no great danger... I don't think we face a crisis; I don't think that we have an impending disaster....Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do very good work, and they are not endangering the fiscal health of this country."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Rep. Maxine Waters, Democrat Representative from the Socialist Republic of California, "I have sat through nearly a dozen hearings where, frankly, we were trying to fix something that wasn't broke. These GSEs have more than adequate capital for the business they are in; providing affordable housing. As I mentioned, we should not be making radical or fundamental change. If there is anything to fix or improve, it is the regulators." This is the same technique they used when Democrats, during the impeachment hearings of Bill Clinton, went after the prosecutor, and tried to discredit Ken Starr. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Rep. David Scott, my congressman from Georgia, another race card elected representative, &lt;em&gt;champion of a woman's right to choose&lt;/em&gt;, went on record saying, " affordable housing goals for both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae require that 50 percent of units should be built for low-and moderate-income home buyers, and 20 percent for very low-income families. Yet, from 1998 to 2002, African-American home ownership rates only rose from 45.6 percent to 47.3 percent, less than 2 percent compared with the white average increase from 72 percent to 74.5 percent, huge gap remains. Clearly, the mission of Freddie Mac, and especially Fannie Mae, is to close that gap..." They did, Congressman Scott, and now we have this mess. Another example of incompetent leadership that results in failure, hurting the ones that they are allegedly trying to help. Actually, the numbers are higher than that because of foreclosures and negative equity in houses that are owed more than they are actually worth. And you want us to bail you out so you can fix this?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Rep. Gregory Meeks, Democrat from New York, addressing the regulator at one of hearing on Fannie Mae, "I have to go to another hearing , I will try to be just real quick... I am just pi****off because if it wasn't for you I don't think that we would be here in the first place. ...we are faced with is maybe some individuals who wanted to do away with GSEs in the first place, you have given them an excuse to try to have this forum, and mission of what the GSEs had, which they have done a tremendous job... There has been nothing that was indicated is wrong, you know, with Fannie Mae... The question that then presents is the competence that your agency has with reference to deciding and regulating these GSEs." A classic example of how Democrats who try to divert attention from themselves and accuse others of creating their messes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Franklin Raines, Chairman and CEO of Fannie Mae, in six years made $90,000,000 dollars in commissions and bonuses that came from numbers that were fraudently cooked to show tremendously higher numbers than they actually were. I wonder why this man is still walking around and not in an orange jumpsuit. "In 1994, we launched our trillion-dollar commitment, a pledge to provide $1 trillion in financing for 10 million underserved families before the decade was over... In 2000... we launched a redoubled new pledge... to provide $2 trillion for 18 million underserved families before this decade is over. We are one of the best capitalized financial institutions in the world, when compared to the risk of our business" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Rep. Barney Frank, again, "I don't see any financial crisis."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Rep. Arthur Davis, another one of those liberal do-gooders who represent &lt;em&gt;all the people&lt;/em&gt;, meaning the poor and underserved, "A concern that I have... is you are making very specific... broad and categorical judgment about the management of this institution, about the willfulness of practices that may or may not be in controversy. You have imputed various motives to the people running the organization... That sounds to me as if you have gone from being a dispassionate regulator to someone who is very much involved and has a stake in this controversy... And I will follow up on Ms. Waters's point because I think it is very well taken: Her observation is that the political context surrounding your investigation was that serious doubts were being raised about OFHEO... In fact, frankly, doubts were raised about your leadership of OFHEO. And all of a sudden, the response to that is to produce an enormously critical report." That's right; you give it to him; the nerve of you questioning our &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;good intentions&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. And there are those who want these people running a national health care system.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Franklin Raines, Chairman and CEO of Fannie Mae, again, "these assets are so riskless that their capital for holding them should be under 2 percent." Thus, we have sub prime mortgages and no one need worry that we are serving those who need serving most.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Former President Bill Clinton sent shock waves through the media this past week when he admitted that the Democrats were guilty of destroying Fannie and Freddie, and responsible for the current crisis that threatens to bring the entire U.S. economy to the brink of recession. "I think that the responsibility that the Democrats have may rest more in resisting any efforts by the Republicans and the Congress or by me when I was President to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac." Another attempt by "Slick Willie," any one with any intelligence can see, is trying to pump up his pitiful legacy by attempting to remove any blame for himself. It was Clinton who embellished what former President Jimmy Carter tried to do in getting more for low and middle income people into &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;affordable&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; housing. The man who ordered Attorney General Janet Reno to go after banks and lending institutions, threatening them with harassing lawsuits and investigations if they didn't end their red-lining practices and lend to low and middle income borrowers, who knew they would pr
