The Reality behind these COEXIST bumber Stickers
Here's a little something to think about the next time you're stuck in traffic behind one of those idealistic 20-somethings with a sterilized brain full of Hopenchange and a "COEXIST" bumper sticker on the ass end of his Forester.
- That's it! Wonder if the Christmas celebrators got offended at people who did NOT celebrate Christmas and threw a fit? How come 9% of the people get to decide whether or not a Christmas tree is up in a place? I'M OFFENDED YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE! I"M OFFENDED YOU DID NOT WISH ME A MERRY CHRISTMAS! It's a lot easier to keep what you got then it is to get it back once you've lost it! Don't lose Christmas!
"When Churchill saw America’s principles of liberty, constitutionalism, & limited government, threatened with the rise of the welfare state, he admonished America to resist this soft despotism. In “Roosevelt from Afar,” Churchill admits that the American economy was suffering when FDR took office, but FDR used this crisis as an opportunity to centralize his political authority rather than to bolster the free market"
A face of evil on planet Earth.
Son using a government SUV? $27,000 in concert tickets? Two laptops (what's on them?). This is a family of ill repute. What is up with this? Michigan, I am angry with you, Illinois is supposed to be the center of the corruption universe. You are putting us off!
I hope that when it all comes down we will understand what got us here. I hope my friends who have lived from government largessse will understand how totally bankrupt we are when it all stops. I hope my good friends who love mercy like Terry Bobzien will understand that we are now at the end of our cultural rope. T...hat wanting to do right has put us in the place where we no longer can. And this

A Rampant poisonous cancer in Gov't. Like a demonic BLOB DEVOURING everything good & Godly.
The economic catastrophe is generated by stupidity in Washington DC
My brother died of the complications of type one diabetes at 50 yrs old. Childhood Onset. Diagnosed at 9 yrs. Ron Santo was diagnosed with this disease at the age of 18, and was given a life expectancy of 25 years. He made it to 70. Pretty good and a great career. He will be missed. I hope he is clicking his heels in heaven now.
I picked up a hard copy of this new age magazine filled with gurus, witchcraft and deception. It was in a gas station near Rockford IL. Free. Cherry Valley has a Spiritualist Camp very close to this gas station. This magazine is published in Morton Grove IL. The rising up of the demonic is being paralleled by a higher standard of God flooding in. Yet, we do NOT dare for a moment to pretend evil is not on the earth
See MoreNepotism is a bane in many Churches. Doesn't work very often. There are a few exceptions. Fewer than we know. God has no grandchildren. Only Children. He also has no GrandProphets, GrandApostles, GrandPastors, GrandEvangelists, GrandTeachers. HE alone give gifts as HE decides. This is a curse on the Body of Christ. The price gets paid. I think a person CAN be the son or daughter of a great church leader, but they must hear their call from the throne of God for themselves. Piggyback means someone is going to fall off.
See MoreI have known of a couple places where it DID work, but only after either the Sr was gone (Joel Osteen) or if a son goes off and establishes his own call and bonifides on his own. THEN he can come back, take over, and really make it work. CBN's Robertson the younger. The worst is for a young man or woman to grow up in the church his or her dad pastored and then take a leadership role. It usually ends up shipwreck. I wish it weren't true. People get hurt.
Don't let anyone disdain you. Not for age. Not for education. Not for understanding. Not for nothing. You are what you are on a journey to better. Those who look down their noses at you fear what you might become. They fear you may demonstrate the invalidity of their attitudes. Look at how the Republican Blue Bloods treat Sarah Palin. Look at how liberals deal with her. YET she is unwavering. Be like that.

Our Government is perpetuating a structured devaluation in property values, by way of building the amount of foreclosures, the renting of foreclosures and the general increase of mortgage rates. EVERYONE should be able to afford a house…even if your on unemployment…lets get rid of the mortgage interest deduction and devalue them more…..then we can have socialized housing….WE the Government will tell you where you can live.
Get ready for a grocery store near you yo close….they have been cutting their margins and many will close….stock up………….cause the prices will increase necessarily along with water, electricity…..Oh, forgot that our Government purchased over 25% of the GM’s electric vehicles….sitting in a lot near you. The grid is not equipped to handle the charging of these vehicles, plugging one in is like plugging in a small house…on the surge they require….so now the electric providers are scrambling the upgrade their systems to handle 3 vehicles plugged in one the same block….that won’t blow a transformer and shut everyone down. But don’t worry…we have have the Government agency the P.U.C. or public utilities commission that was there to make sure the public utility made enough income to pay it’s union employees, while not ever upgrading their systems…..for decades…..were in great hands relying on our Government….just the tip of the iceberg were hitting.

Does Obama’s nominee for head of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives oppose the Second Amendment? | The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment
Things had been looking up for gun-rights activists. In 2008, the Supreme Court ruled in D.C. v. Heller that Washington’s handgun laws were unconstitutional. In the summer of 2010, in McDonald v Chicago, the court expanded that ruling to apply to handgun laws in all 50 states.
Even President Obama seemed relatively open to Second Amendment rights, saying on the campaign trail: “I believe there is a Second Amendment right. I think it is an individual right. I think people have the right to lawfully bear arms.”
Now, it seems that when it comes to Obama and guns, he was for them before he was against them.
Last month, the president nominated Andrew Traver to be the new director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE). But while gun-control advocates are lauding Obama’s nominee, others are worried Traver will implement strict gun rules by way of bureaucratic regulations

With United Nations climate negotiators facing an uphill battle to advance their goal of reducing emissions linked to global warming, it's no surprise that the woman steering the talks appealed to a Mayan goddess Monday.
Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, invoked the ancient jaguar goddess Ixchel in her opening statement to delegates gathered in Cancun, Mexico, noting that Ixchel was not only goddess of the moon, but also "the goddess of reason, creativity and weaving. May she inspire you -- because today, you are gathered in Cancun to weave together the elements of a solid response to climate change, using both reason and creativity as your tools."

There are some surprises. I think there are more than we know. I also think that "Republican" is the wrong nomenclature. Conservative. Many will be surprised at 50 Cent. I wasn't. Fitty has great prophetic destiny ahead of him. I am a little surprised Eminem wasn't on the list. He is.
""Cancun climate change summit: scientists call for rationing in developed world Global warming is now such a serious threat to mankind that climate change experts are calling for Second World War-style rationing in rich countries to bring down carbon emissions"". This means they want YOU to reduce your standard of living...

Family: New Jersey man serving 7 years for guns he owned legally

EVERYTHING Brian Aitken was or had worked for was wiped away one winter afternoon after his mother called the police on him.
Separated from his wife, the entrepreneur and media consultant, now 27, had moved back home to New Jersey from Colorado toward the end of 2008 to be closer to their young son.
In between jobs, his well-oiled life was running ragged, and on Jan. 2, 2009, when his ex canceled his visit with their son, he became distraught, muttered something to his mother, and left his parents' home in Mount Laurel, N.J.
"He said something that scared her, things that a guy will only say to his mom, like . . . 'Life's not worth living anymore,' " said Larry Aitken, Brian's father.
Sue Aitken, a trained social worker, decided to play it safe and called police, but she hung up before the 9-1-1 dispatcher could answer. Police traced the call and showed up anyway, and found two handguns in the trunk of Brian's car. And now Brian, her middle child, a graduate student with no prior criminal record, is serving a seven-year prison sentence for weapons charges.
