"My Comments"

In response to an article in Politico http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1009/28256.html

Sen. Snowe and Sen. Collins, Go Home To Your Liberal Democrat Party!

There is nothing unique about Sen. Snowe, or for that part Sen. Collins, voting with the Liberal Democrats. I believe any full report will show that Sen. Snowe and Sen. Collins both vote with the Liberal Democrats at least 2 out of any 3 critical votes in the US Senate.

It makes you question as to why either one of the two continue to claim themselves as Republicans. Both are two of a few more who make Americans ask, ‘What is the difference between Democrats and Republicans?’ It is these 2 Liberal registered Republicans In Name Only (RINO), along with a few other Moderate to Liberal Republicans who continue to negotiate away the precious fiscal and social values within our GOP Platform. In giving away our precious fiscal and social values, the Democrats win, and American Conservatives lose.

ObamaCare, as it is currently being presented, and Cap and Trade, is an additional tax and/or penalties on the individual, as well as businesses. Everyone should know that all businesses must pass all taxes and penalties along to the consumers. These additional taxes and/or penalties on the taxpayers, and/or consumers, become more burdensome. Additional taxes and/or penalties on businesses make their own businesses less competitive in the world market, forcing layoffs and/or putting them out of business, thus creating more unemployment. The only solution to that cure is to put tariffs on imports forcing Americans to purchase American made products. That is fine, except until all other nations impose additional tariffs on American imports. When American businesses are not exporting their products and/or services, as foreigners are not purchasing because of increased pricing due to their own nations’ tariffs, this forces the American businesses required to lay off employees and/or go out of business. Forcing ObamaCare and/or Cap and Trade deteriorates out fragile economy.

Now would be an excellent time for Sen. Snowe, Sen. Collins and a few other RINO’s these to join President Obama’s Socialist program and Sen. Specter to go Liberal/Socialist to leave himself a legacy. This Obama Socialistic idealism is destroying the values for our forefathers’ freedoms.

In your support, Sen. Snowe and Sen. Collins, go home to your Liberal Democrat Party!

Allow others to save our American economy. Let the Conservative Freedoms ring!

Hannity: Why I Couldn’t Be A Republican

This morning's news out of Washington brought some bad news when it was announced that Senator Olympia Snow had voted “yes” on President Obama’s healthcare legislation in the Senate Finance Committee. “I’ve got to tell you, this vote is why I don’t want to be a republican,” fumed Sean, “I want no part of the Olympia Snow’s or Specter’s who just aren’t standing on conservative principles.” President Obama would have you believe that Sean Hannity is a “tool of the republican party” but after hearing remarks like that it’s pretty clear that, once again, the President is wrong. {Article - LA Times} http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/10/snowe-votes-yes-vote-on-health-care-reform-can-obama-white-house-really-claim-bipartisan-victory-.html



"Daily Motivations"

Set aside time for structured "play time." Real innovation does not happen by accident. The capacity to creatively improvise is an important factor in differentiating businesses that are successful in the face of change from those that are not. -- JoAnna Brandi



"Daily Devotions" (KJV and/or NLT)

The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease (Lamentations 3:22)

Does your God have a personality? Does He have emotions? Does He care about our lives? It's fashionable to believe in a god who is an impersonal "force." Does it really make a difference?

A brilliant young student named Judson didn't think so. He had rejected the God of the Bible whom his dad worshiped. Traditional faith, according to his professors and friends, was so much superstition.

But one night, lodging at an inn, he couldn't sleep. The occupant of the room next door was suffering, groaning, and calling out. Judson thought about death for the first time, and wondered what lay on the other side. He reassured himself with the idea that he had many years until that question would become relevant. He imagined how his friend Jacob Eames would laugh at his questions. Eames loved making fun of spiritual faith.

The next morning, Judson was told that the man next door had passed away in the night. "So sad--it was a young man about your age," said the innkeeper. "His name was Jacob Eames." Indeed it had been the very friend who had crossed Judson's mind.

A few months later, Adoniram Judson prayed to begin a relationship with the Christ of the Bible. He went on to become the pioneer of American missions, and a committed follower of a personal and loving God.



"The Patriot Post"

"In reality there is perhaps no one of our natural Passions so hard to subdue as Pride. Disguise it, struggle with it, beat it down, stifle it, mortify it as much as one pleases, it is still alive, and will now and then peek out and show itself...." -- Benjamin Franklin



LIBERTY

"In his address to Congress, President Obama made clear that he and his allies know how to spend your health-care money better than you do. It's a matter, you see, of 'shared responsibility': You share your dollars with the feds, and the feds are responsible for making your decisions. ... On 'shared responsibility,' the president brooks no dissent. 'Unless everybody does their part, many of the insurance reforms we seek -- especially requiring insurance companies to cover preexisting conditions -- just can't be achieved,' he said. 'That's why under my plan, individuals will be required to carry basic health insurance.' This requirement is known as the 'individual mandate.' The president's proposal is historic -- though not in a good way. Never before has Congress forced Americans to buy a private good or service. In fact, for those with a traditional understanding of the Constitution as a charter of liberty (as opposed to the 'living' version), the list of Congress's powers in Article I, Section 8, grants it no authority to require any such thing. ... Requiring everyone to buy government-specified health insurance, whether they need it or not, is an unacceptable violation of personal liberty. It is a way of taxing healthy people without calling it a tax. Since that is an irresistible temptation to politicians, the list of required benefits would be certain to keep expanding. The choice between freedom and responsibility, as the president and his congressional allies portray it, is a false choice. We can and should have both." -- The Heritage Foundation's Robert Moffitt



THE GIPPER

"The Founding Fathers established a system which meant a radical break from that which preceded it. A written constitution would provide a permanent form of government, limited in scope, but effective in providing both liberty and order. Government was not to be a matter of self-appointed rulers, governing by whim or harsh ideology. It was not to be government by the strongest or for the few. Our principles were revolutionary. We began as a small, weak republic. But we survived. Our example inspired others, imperfectly at times, but it inspired them nevertheless. This constitutional republic, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, prospered and grew strong. To this day, America is still the abiding alternative to tyranny. That is our purpose in the world -- nothing more and nothing less." -- Ronald Reagan



INSIGHT

"Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and gave him triumphal processions. .... Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the 'new, wonderful good society' which shall now be Rome's, interpreted to mean 'more money, more ease, more security, more living fatly at the expense of the industrious.'" -- Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 B.C.)



GOVERNMENT

"As Harvard economist Greg Mankiw writes, 'In light of the shifting baseline, it is impossible to hold the administration accountable for whether its policies are achieving their intended effects. The administration, however, has not been particularly forthright in admitting to this lack of accountability. Indeed, the act of releasing quarterly reports on how many jobs have been 'created or saved' gives the illusion of accountability without the reality'. This lack of accountability -- this claim of success no matter what happens -- should surprise no one. Many of us warned about it months ago. Remember, Obama didn't promise to create 3.5 million jobs. He promised to create or save that many. There is no way to test that. If you still have your job, does that mean Obama saved it? If an entrepreneur created a new job, in spite of Obama's destructive anti-business regulatory apparatus, does Obama still deserve the credit?" -- columnist John Stossel



FOR THE RECORD

"[T]hough barely reported, Obama made this statement in his U.N. speech: 'We have fully embraced the Millennium Development Goals.' I'm not sure where he got the authority to make that unilateral declaration, but he nonetheless made it. I guess now that he's president, he can sometimes just issue fiats instead of having to deal with the cumbersome legislative process.... So why do you suppose the evil Bush administration opposed the innocuous-sounding 'Millennium Development Goals'? Well, how about its multi-pronged assault on America's national sovereignty? It commits participating nations to be bound by the International Criminal Court treaty; support regional disarmament measures for small arms and light weapons; and press for the full implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity, which Wikipedia describes as 'an international legally binding treaty' that includes among its goals a 'fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from genetic resources,' the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, described as 'an international bill of rights for women,' and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which purports to be a 'legally binding international instrument' that gives children the right to express their own opinions 'freely in all matters affecting the child' and requires those opinions be given 'due weight.' The Millennium Declaration also affirms the U.N. as 'the indispensable common house of the entire human family, through which we will seek to realize our universal aspirations for peace, cooperation and development.' Indeed, under President Obama, 'We Are the World.'" -- columnist David Limbaugh



CULTURE

"Just to recap, [Roman] Polanski drugged a child put in his care for the purposes of a photo shoot. He tried to bully her into sex.. She said no. He raped her anyway. He pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse but fled the country before sentencing, allegedly for fear the judge wouldn't keep his end of the plea bargain. He spent the subsequent three decades living the life of a revered celebrity in Europe. He never returned to America because there was a warrant for his arrest. In a bit of ironic justice, he was apprehended en route to Zurich to receive a lifetime achievement award. That ceremony will apparently go on without him. ... It all boils down to the fact that Polanski is famous and talented and an Olympian artist, living above the world of mortals. Indeed, if he didn't rape that girl -- and he did -- Polanski would still be considered a pig in most normal communities. This is the man who, after all, started dating Nastassja Kinski when she was only 15 and he was in his 40s. His taste for teenage girls is an established fact. His defenders don't care. They are above and beyond bourgeois notions of morality, even legality. And that's the main reason I am grateful for this controversy. It is a dye marker, 'lighting up' a whole archipelago of morally wretched people. With their time, their money and their craft, these very people routinely lecture America about what is right and wrong. It's good to know that at the most fundamental level, they have no idea what they're talking about." -- columnist Jonah Goldberg



FAITH AND FAMILY

"In the midst of grappling with a scattering of thorny issues, President Barack Obama took time to lend a fatherly hand this week. Your little Jake, it seems, doesn't spend enough time under the gaze of the state. As it turns out, Jake is at a tragic disadvantage when competing against Yuri from Kazakhstan. If you believe this tale, the administration has an answer for you: Kill summer vacation, and add a few hours to the school day. 'Young people in other countries are going to school 25, 30 percent longer than our students here,' Secretary of Education Arne Duncan claimed.. 'I want to just level the playing field.' He, generously, wants to level the playing field for your children. Hey, admittedly, I'm not a product of the dazzling Hungarian school system, yet I can't help but wonder: With the pitiful performance of so many of our school systems -- Duncan left Chicago's schools with a more than 40 percent dropout rate -- doesn't it seem counterintuitive to extend this interaction? Where, after all, is the evidence that longer days translate into smarter kids? We will hear all about Sweden, Belgium and Denmark's longer days and high test scores, but as The Associated Press points out, kids in the U.S. spend more 'hours in school (1,146 instructional hours per year) than do kids in the Asian countries that persistently outscore the U.S. on math and science tests -- Singapore (903), Taiwan (1,050), Japan (1,005) and Hong Kong (1,013).' In the U.S., we also piddle away more funding per student on education than nearly any other nation in the world. Employing Duncan's decidedly non-Singaporean calculus, this would necessitate a cut in education spending to achieve higher results and 'even the playing field.'" -- columnist David Harsanyi



THE LAST WORD

"It's hard out there for a first lady of the United States. Take it from travel-weary Michelle Obama. On Tuesday night, she boarded a luxury 757 for Copenhagen. Think of the stairs she had to climb. Oh, the agony of the feet! Upon arrival, Mrs. O, her 'chit-chat buddy,' Chicago-based talk-show queen Oprah Winfrey, and Chicago powerbroker/interest-conflicted real estate mogul/senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett immediately embarked on a grueling, grip-and-grin campaign to secure the Olympics for their hometown. Our smile muscles ache in sympathy. You will be comforted to know that the gracious FLOTUS feels your pain for her pain. 'As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the president to come for these few days,' the first lady told a group of fellow Chicago 2016 boosters, 'so many of you in this room have been working for years to bring this bid home.' Translation: Thank me, thank you, for all we do. Never has self-congratulatory gratitude been raised to such an art form, but there was no time for loyal subjects to dwell." -- columnist Michelle Malkin

Please contact your Representative to make sure they sign a letter opposing President Obama's Safe School Czar Kevin Jennings

Help Remove (Un)Safe School Czar Kevin Jennings

With each new nominee in the Obama Administration comes more and more revelations on how they seek to undermine America's morals and economy. However no Administration official is more deserving of removal than Kevin Jennings, whom President Obama put forth to run his Safe Schools program at the Department of Education. What is Mr. Jennings' definition of a "safe school?" He has proudly boasted of an incident (when he was a teacher) in which upon learning that a young boy in his class was having sex with a much older man, he did nothing to discourage him. The only advice this future "Safe Schools" czar gave the young boy was "be sure to bring a condom."

Additionally, according to Mr. Jennings, it is heterosexuality that is the problem in our schools. In a speech that Kevin Jennings gave to a group in Iowa, he said, "Every time kids read Romeo & Juliet or they're urged to go to the prom or whatever it is, kids are aggressively recruited to be heterosexual in this country." Recruited to be heterosexuals? Does Kevin Jennings actually believe that a child's sexual orientation is the product of some educational conspiracy? The only conspiracy I'm aware of is Jennings' attempt to indoctrinate kids with a pro-homosexual agenda.

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) agrees. Earlier this week, he launched a campaign to oust Jennings (and his radical record) from the Department of Education. In a letter that he's circulating to his House colleagues, Rep. King tells the President, "There is more to safe and drug-free schools than can be accomplished from the narrow view of Mr. Jennings who has, for more than 20 years, almost exclusively focused on promoting the homosexual agenda."

He's taken up our cause -- now let's help him advance it. Contact your congressmen today and urge them to sign on to Rep. King's letter.

Thank you and God bless you.

Court Hears Third Appeal In Ten-Year Battle Over Censorship of Poster With Jesus

Tomorrow (Wednesday, November 15, 2009) morning a federal appeals court in New York City will hear oral argument on behalf of a former kindergarten student whose art project was censored. Mat Staver will argue the case of Peck v. Baldwinsville School District before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, the court that has ruled twice in Antonio’s favor.

Liberty Counsel filed this case in 1999, after Antonio was punished for including a figure of Jesus in an art project to show his viewpoint on saving the environment. Antonio’s poster contained cutout figures and other artistic work, including children holding hands around a globe, people recycling trash, and children picking up garbage. On the left side of the poster was a bearded man wearing a robe kneeling with one knee to the ground and hands stretched toward the sky.

To Antonio, this figure was Jesus. This poster was displayed for part of one day on a cafeteria wall, along with 80 other student posters, but unlike the other posters, Antonio’s poster was folded in half to hide Jesus. This censorship gave a terrible message to Antonio and other students that they must leave their faith at home.

The Court will start hearing cases at 10 a.m. ET, and oral argument in the Peck case is expected to begin by 11:15 a.m.

Please pray for a final victory in this case and that God is glorified. Forward this email and ask others to pray during the hearing and to pray afterwards that the Court will make a good ruling.

Limbaugh dropped from group seeking to buy Rams

By R.B. FALLSTROM
AP Sports Writer

Rush Limbaugh

http://www.wabcradio.com/news.asp?c=5145&url=http%3A%2F%2Fhosted%2Eap%2Eorg%2Fdynamic%2Fstories%2FF%2FFBN%5FRAMS%5FLIMBAUGH%3FSITE%3DWABCAM%26SECTION%3DHOME%26TEMPLATE%3DDEFAULT

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been dropped from a group seeking to buy the St. Louis Rams. Limbaugh was to be a limited partner in a bid led by St. Louis Blues chairman Dave Checketts, but Checketts said in a statement Wednesday that Limbaugh's participation had complicated the effort. The group will move forward without him.

Checketts said he will have no further comment on the bid process. Limbaugh did not immediately respond to an e-mail sent late Wednesday seeking comment on Checketts' decision.

Limbaugh said on his radio show earlier Wednesday that he had been inundated with e-mails from listeners who supported him in the bid.

"This is not about the NFL, it's not about the St. Louis Rams, it's not about me," Limbaugh said. "This is about the ongoing effort by the left in this country, wherever you find them, in the media, the Democrat Party, or wherever, to destroy conservatism, to prevent the mainstreaming of anyone who is prominent as a conservative.

"Therefore, this is about the future of the United States of America and what kind of country we're going to have."

Limbaugh's bid ran into opposition from within the image-conscious NFL on Tuesday when Colts owner Jim Irsay said he would vote against the radio personality. Commissioner Roger Goodell said the commentator's "divisive" comments would not be tolerated from any NFL insider.

The league tries to avoid getting snared in controversial issues outside sports, which has caused Limbaugh trouble in the past. In 2003, he was forced to resign from ESPN's Sunday night football broadcast after saying of Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb: "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well."

The Rams had no comment, reissuing a statement from Oct. 5 in which owner Chip Rosenbloom said a review of the team's ownership was under way and the club will make an announcement when it's over.

Checketts, the chairman of SCP Worldwide, announced that Limbaugh had been dumped toward the end of a news release.

"It has become clear that his involvement in our group has become a complication and a distraction to our intentions; endangering our bid to keep the team in St. Louis," Checketts said. "As such, we have decided to move forward without him and hope it will eventually lead us to a successful conclusion."

The move was hailed by the Rev. Al Sharpton, one of the most vocal critics of Limbaugh's bid.

"It is a moral victory for all Americans - especially the players that have been unfairly castigated by Rush Limbaugh," Sharpton said in a statement. "This decision will also uphold the unifying standards of major sports."

Sharpton added in a telephone interview that major sports leagues shouldn't welcome owners who are "divisive and incendiary."

Every major pro sports franchise has dealings with its community, he said. "It's unfair for taxpayers to be underwriting people who denigrate them," he said.

Checketts said Limbaugh would have not had any say in the direction of the franchise "or in any decisions regarding personnel or operations."

Before getting dropped, Limbaugh said he had no intention of backing out.

"I'm not even thinking of caving," he said. "I am not a caver. Pioneers take the arrows. We are pioneers. It's a sad thing that our country, over 200 years old now, needs pioneers all over again, but we do."



Forget the people - ram healthcare bill through

Jim Brown - OneNewsNow

http://www.onenewsnow.com/Politics/Default.aspx?id=720284

A healthcare reform expert says Democratic leaders in Congress who are seeking to pass healthcare legislation before Thanksgiving are "deceiving themselves into thinking they know what's best for the American people."

The Senate Finance Committee is expected to vote today on a healthcare reform bill authored by Senator Max Baucus (D-Montana) that would create new taxes and regulations to pay for a massive expansion of the Medicaid entitlement program. Although the Baucus proposal has been billed as the most "moderate and reasonable" of five committee healthcare bills, a new study prepared by Price Waterhouse Coopers estimates that by 2019 the plan will raise the cost of healthcare for an American family of four by $4,000 each year. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the measure will insure only 94 percent of Americans -- leaving 25 million people uninsured.

Politico reports that in an effort to pass healthcare reform before Thanksgiving and avoid conference committee, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) and other Democratic leaders are considering attaching the entire healthcare bill to a shell of a House tax bill that passed earlier this year.

Grace Marie Turner, president of the Galen Institute, says if Democrats use such a parliamentary maneuver, they risk an enormous political backlash from American taxpayers.

"Last time around during the 'ClintonCare' debate, [Democratic] Senator [Jay] Rockefeller was quoted by one of the newspapers in West Virginia, his home state, saying 'We're going to pass health reform whether the American people like it or not,'" Turner recalls. "You know, I'm really thinking right now that that seems to be the approach -- 'we're going to pass this bill whether the American people like it or not.'"

Turner says proponents of ramming healthcare legislation through Congress quickly are attempting to justify their strategy by saying that in Canada, healthcare reform was not tremendously popular before it was passed, but the elite and the political class decided to enact socialized medicine anyway, and now all Canadians love it. However, Turner says Canadians love their healthcare system "if they're not sick" enough to need medical treatment in the U.S.



ACLU wins 2nd suit against DeWeese over courtroom poster

By JAMI KINTON • News Journal

http://www.mansfieldnewsjournal.com/article/20091010/NEWS01/910100316

MANSFIELD -- Judge James DeWeese must take down a framed poster of the Ten Commandments -- for the second time.

Finding for the Ohio ACLU on Thursday in its second lawsuit against the Richland County Common Pleas judge, federal district court Judge Patricia A. Gaughan ordered DeWeese to remove the display as it unconstitutionally endorsed particular religious views over others.

DeWeese could not be reached for comment.

The Ohio ACLU first filed suit in 2002, challenging the constitutionality of a poster of the Ten Commandments that DeWeese hung in his courtroom. The civil rights organization won that suit in 2004, a ruling that was upheld on appeal. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the case in 2005, settling the matter with the lower court's finding for the ACLU.

The ACLU filed its most recent suit in 2008, after DeWeese put up his current display, headlined "Philosophies of Law in Conflict," which includes what he describes as humanist principles posted alongside the Ten Commandments. Accompanying the side-by-side lists is a statement saying DeWeese believes in "moral absolutes" such as the 10 Christian principles taken from the Old Testament rather than what he called the moral relatives of the second set of precepts.

Gaughan made her ruling Thursday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio in Cleveland.

"We are pleased the court saw through this transparent attempt to sidestep the Constitution. Even with a few minor alterations from his original 2002 display, it was clear that Judge DeWeese's intentions to promote a particular religion remained the same," Ohio ACLU Executive Director Christine Link said Thursday.

"We feel very strongly about this because the First Amendment is extremely important," ACLU attorney Mike Honohan said. "I don't think it's any coincidence our forefathers put the freedom of religion and speech together in the First Amendment, and we certainly don't want to allow these rights to erode."

DeWeese will have 30 days to decide whether he wants to appeal the decision.

Ohio Sen. Bill Harris, R-Ashland, who voiced support for DeWeese during his original suit, said he was disappointed in Thursday's ruling.

"My personal thoughts are that he ought to be able to have the Ten Commandments as a guide for what he believes in and stands for -- but that's why we have courts and sometimes courts rule in ways we don't like," Harris said Friday. "I think the Ten Commandments set standards for doing right and being honest and shows a commitment to other people, serving other people and sets forth the principles we all should live by.

"I think he's an outstanding justice and I applaud him for him trying to retain these Ten Commandments for everyone to see."



(Formerly) Mainstream Media Pronounced Brain Dead, Plug to be Pulled

Texan2driver's Blog

http://texan2driver.wordpress.com/2009/10/13/formerly-mainstream-media-pronounced-brain-dead-plug-to-be-pulled/

This just proves that there is no brain activity in the media formerly known as mainstream. They are doing the usual liberal “you didn’t hear me say what you heard me say” routine, a.k.a. REVISIONIST HISTORY. First, Obama and the state run media sell Stimulus 1 as “shovel ready” for immediate results in the economy. Now they are saying they didn’t say that. Sorry, we have it on record. Then you get this real gem of sound logic from the NY Times.

They also knew that the size of the final package – which was whittled down in part to ensure its passage in Congress – was not big enough to completely offset the projected drop in the nation’s economic output, which administration officials believed at the time would perform at $2 trillion below its capacity over the next two years.

Let me see if I can simplify their logic for you. I have a one gallon bucket (representing the economy).. That bucket gets a hole in it and begins to lose water (wealth and jobs). Rather than drilling for more water (cutting taxes and removing impediments to businesses that create jobs and wealth), I will dip water from the bucket and pour it right back into the bucket and say that I am refilling it (the “stimulus” money was taken from the “bucket” of our economy without creating more jobs or wealth). The bucket continues to leak, and even more water is evaporating with each dip from the bucket. Got it?


Media Campaigning for Second Stimulus Package

By Candance Moore

Eight months after President Obama signed a stimulus package worth $787 billion, less than half the funds have been spent and nearly half of Americans want the remainder to be repealed.
Of course, that hasn't stopped the mainstream media from pushing for more.

Recall that before the first bill was even signed, Reuters hailed a statement from billionaire George Soros warning that it wouldn't be enough. In July, NewYork Times columnist Paul Krugman called the bill "inadequate" and bemoaned fiscal conservatives for their "bittter and unrelenting" skepticism.

Now, despite unemployment approaching double digits, the federal deficit exploding, and rumors flying that the world is dumping its dollars, liberal newpapers have unabashasedly increased their call for more "stimulus."

An October 6 article from the NY Times first provided some revisionist history to advance the fiscally-challenged cause:



Obama Aide: Fox News Our 'Opponent'

By: John Rossomando

http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/us_tv_obama_fox/2009/10/12/271219.html?s=al&promo_code=8BAE-1

Fox News seems to enjoy being on the White House's enemies list.

A festering enmity between the Obama administration and the cable network boiled over Sunday when The New York Times quoted White House communications director Anita Dunn as saying of Fox: “We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent.”

Fox Senior Vice President for News Michael Clemente fired back at what he called the White House’s “attack mentality.”

“Perhaps the energy would be better spent on the critical issues we are worried about,” Clemente said in a statement the network issued.

If Fox’s ratings are any clue, the administration’s attacks seem to be having the opposite of their desired effects. As of last week, the network has averaged 1.2 million viewers throughout the year, up from around 1 million viewers a year ago. This surpasses the network’s previous viewership record of 1.1 million viewers, which was set in 2003, the year the war began in Iraq.

In June, President Obama attacked Fox without mentioning it by name, saying it was devoted entirely to attacking his administration and that its coverage of his actions were all negative.

“Every time they [attack], our ratings go up,” Bill Shine, Fox’s senior vice president for programming, told the Times.

A Fox executive who declined to be identified said the attacks could solidify the network’s base. He quoted Fox Chairman Roger Ailes as having said: “Don’t pick a fight with those who like to fight.”

Paul Rittenberg, the network’s top ad executive, said, “People who watch Fox News believe it is the home team,” but Democrats don’t see it that way because of its critical coverage of the president and his political agenda.

Dunn’s comments followed press reports that Ailes had met with top Obama adviser David Axelrod for coffee in New York in what Politico called “a Fox summit.”

The White House communications director also took aim at controversial comments various Fox hosts have made against the administration.

These have included comments by immensely popular host Glenn Beck, whose 5 p.m. show has become a “cultural phenomenon,” with 3 million viewers, according to Shine.

Beck was credited with forcing the resignation of former green jobs czar Van Jones, whom he described as a “communist-anarchist radical.”

Weeks earlier, Beck came under attack from the Color of Change, a group Jones helped found, after he called the president “racist” during a Fox and Friends segment, which prompted several advertisers to pull their spots from his program.

Rittenberg, however, says the boycott has had no impact on Fox’s revenue because the advertising has been shifted to other parts of the day.

The administration also bristles about certain hosts' advocacy of the Tea Party movement.

Fox recently bolstered its Fox Business unit by hiring libertarian journalist John Stossel away from ABC, and it reportedly is trying to woo administration critic Lou Dobbs away from CNN. Dobbs met with Ailes last month over dinner, the Times reported.

“As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that is the way legitimate news agencies behave,” Dunn said.

Last month, the president appeared on all of the major networks’ Sunday talk shows except for Fox News Sunday, which the White House called an “ideological outlet.” This prompted Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace to call the administration “the biggest bunch of crybabies I have dealt with in my 30 years in Washington.”

Dunn dismissed Wallace’s comments as juvenile and said the administration would talk with Fox but said the White House would not "legitimize them as a news organization.”

The network defends its presentation of the news as objective during its news hours of 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m., including the anchor Shepard Smith's evening newscasts. Dunn even acknowledged that Fox reporter Major Garrett, its chief White House correspondent, is fair.



Brannon Howse's New Book

The People & Worldviews Destroying America From The Grave

Brannon reveals how the worldviews of 21 dead people are still influencing every aspect of American life and vying for the hearts and minds of adults and students. Whether we are discussing, law, science, economics, history, family, social issues, education or religion, the people and worldviews seeking to further their agenda in these disciplines are almost always connected back to four major forces.

Through this book you will come to understand the oppositions worldview, heroes, goals, strategies, masking terms, networks and targets.
