Fw: Fwd: President Obama Snubs England. Nobody Attends Lady Thatcher's Funeral
To:
President Obama was a no-show at Margaret Thatcher's funeral
despite being invited to attend and thus snubbing England's
invitation as a representative of the American people.
Joe Biden also refused, as did Hillary Clinton.
By the way, former Secretary of State George Schultz went to the funeral.
The British took note of the fact that the Obama administration
chose not to send a single senior member of the Cabinet.
In fact, no actively serving, elected Democrat attended Lady
Thatcher’s funeral.
The Obama Administration did, however, send a formal delegation
of 14 to the funeral of Socialist Dictator Venezuelan President
Hugo Chavez, who died last month.
Need any more RED flags???

Subject: Move over Jimmy Carter
To:
America has had some great presidents, many mediocre ones and a few bad ones. But we’ve never had one like Barack Obama. He’s the first who thinks the job is beneath him. He’s the first who turns political give-and-take into a crisis by refusing to negotiate with Congress. He’s the first who thinks the way to more power is to inflict pain on ordinary people. The move to barricade the World War II memorial reveals the mentality of a tin-pot dictator. The limited government shutdown did not need to affect the memorial because it is open 24 hours, without gates and often without guards.But to turn public opinion in his favor, Obama’s goons trucked in barricades to keep out World War II vets and other visitors. By one estimate, the barricades and workers cost $100,000. The same punish-the-people attitude led to shutdowns of other parks and historic sites that get no federal funding. “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting,” a Park Service ranger told The Washington Times. The ranger cited the order to close the parking lot at George Washington’s home in Mount Vernon so visitors couldn’t use it. The cheap trick captured the contrast between a revered president and the current one. I’ve been saying for a while that there is no bottom to Obama. He’s not just ruthless. He’s without scruples and honor. However the shutdown ends, it will bring only a temporary respite from the crisis atmosphere in Washington. When it comes to his countrymen, Obama always chooses conflict over cooperation.Meanwhile, Jimmy Carter can rest easy. We have a new worst president.

She didn't have the most pleasant experience. She should have left well enough alone.
We wanted to show you how it turned out. We hope this makes you aware of the quality of care you will receive from the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obama Care)
Please, PLEASE, PLEASE . . Don't get a Butt Lift using the Obama Care Medical Plan. The “Obama care qualified Doctor” was a 3 year med student from another country making 12 bucks an hour.

Subject: Storming the Barricades in Washington
I have worked in the government on and off for 40 years. During that time I became quite familiar with requisitions, bidding, awarding contracts etc. It is a time consuming process with bean-counters and pencil-necked bureaucrats every step of the way. The simplest requesttakes months.. not days or hours.
Now follow me please.. let it sink in of what it takes...... In less than 8 hours of the shutdown, miraculously, professionally printed 3X4 foot signs appeared all over the country in the tens of thousandssaying this [park, facility, etc. with custom logos for EACH parks name on it] was closed due to government shutdown.. let THAT sink in...
There has not been a government shutdown in 17 years. These signs were designed, specifications were determined, signs were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted, government contracts were awarded...... in 8 HOURS!!
The materials were then ordered and the signs manufactured then distributed by U. S. Mails or freight companies.. the fastest they could possibly have had them would be over-night...... ALL of this in EIGHT HOURS!!!!
Something as simple as a sign PROVES This shutdown was orchestrated and planned well in advance at least 6-8 month ago.
Millions of tax dollars were appropriated and spent in this process.... in 8 hours
There is a paper trail a mile long leading directly to the White House.. Like that's a big surprise...
However, something as simple as a freshly painted sign being made AND SHOWN in just a few hours raises suspicion... it seems like a simple overlook to everyone else, but after 40 years of Government work I knew the TRUTH was right there driven into the ground, or posted at the Main gate. Let me remind you, 10's of THOUSANDS were made! With the Parks names on them!! Common sense must kick in at some point. At LEAST 6 to 8 months ago.

FWD: Who decides how the US spends its monies
Subject: Who decides how the US spends its monies
To:
Who Shut Down the Government? » Commentary -- GOPUSA
There is really nothing complicated about the facts. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted all the money required to keep all government activities going -- except for ObamaCare.
This is not a matter of opinion. You can check the Congressional Record.
As for the House of Representatives' right to grant or withhold money, that is not a matter of opinion either. You can check the Constitution of the United States. All spending bills must originate in the House of Representatives, which means that Congressmen there have a right to decide whether or not they want to spend money on a particular government activity.
Whether ObamaCare is good, bad or indifferent is a matter of opinion. But it is a matter of fact that members of the House of Representatives have a right to make spending decisions based on their opinion.
ObamaCare is indeed "the law of the land," as its supporters keep saying, and the Supreme Court has upheld its Constitutionality.
But the whole point of having a division of powers within the federal government is that each branch can decide independently what it wants to do or not do, regardless of what the other branches do, when exercising the powers specifically granted to that branch by the Constitution.
The hundreds of thousands of government workers who have been laid off are not idle because the House of Representatives did not vote enough money to pay their salaries or the other expenses of their agencies -- unless they are in an agency that would administer ObamaCare.
Since we cannot read minds, we cannot say who -- if anybody -- "wants to shut down the government." But we do know who had the option to keep the government running and chose not to. The money voted by the House of Representatives covered everything that the government does, except for ObamaCare.
The Senate chose not to vote to authorize that money to be spent, because it did not include money for ObamaCare. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says that he wants a "clean" bill from the House of Representatives, and some in the media keep repeating the word "clean" like a mantra. But what is unclean about not giving Harry Reid everything he wants?
If Senator Reid and President Obama refuse to accept the money required to run the government, because it leaves out the money they want to run ObamaCare, that is their right. But that is also their responsibility.
You cannot blame other people for not giving you everything you want. And it is a fraud to blame them when you refuse to use the money they did vote, even when it is ample to pay for everything else in the government.
When Barack Obama keeps claiming that it is some new outrage for those who control the money to try to change government policy by granting or withholding money, that is simply a bald-faced lie. You can check the history of other examples of "legislation by appropriation" as it used to be called.
Whether legislation by appropriation is a good idea or a bad idea is a matter of opinion. But whether it is both legal and not unprecedented is a matter of fact.
Perhaps the biggest of the big lies is that the government will not be able to pay what it owes on the national debt, creating a danger of default. Tax money keeps coming into the Treasury during the shutdown, and it vastly exceeds the interest that has to be paid on the national debt.
Even if the debt ceiling is not lifted, that only means that government is not allowed to run up new debt. But that does not mean that it is unable to pay the interest on existing debt.
None of this is rocket science. But unless the Republicans get their side of the story out -- and articulation has never been their strong suit -- the lies will win. More important, the whole country will lose.

Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/1/13. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message.

Please do not delete this bit of US History of which many Americans have no knowledge. View it and share it and pray that we will never need such a response to government.
This film may explain why Obama's Department of Homeland Security put out a bulletin classifying "returning veterans," "gun rights advocates," and "people who carry copies of the Constitution." as a "Domestic Terror Threat." "An armed man is a citizen. A disarmed man is a subject.."
I was completely unaware of this event that took place in Athens , TN in 1946. I did not know an armed revolt on American soil by WWII veterans ever took place during our lifetime. A very sobering video to say the least.
Now the importance of the 2nd Amendment should be a little clearer to everyone.

These practices set a high standard for young people . . . . .

who is modest and keen on cleanliness.
* Any Japanese citizen who has a dog must carry special bags to pick
up dog droppings. Hygiene and their eagerness to address cleanliness
is part of Japanese ethics.
* A hygiene worker in Japan is called "health engineer" and can command
salary of USD 5000 to 8000 per month, and a cleaner is subjected to written
and oral tests!!
* Japan does not have any natural resources, and they are exposed to
hundreds of earthquakes a year, but this has not prevented its becoming
the second largest economy in the world.
* In just ten years Hiroshima returned to what it was economically vibrant
before the fall of the atomic bomb.
* Japan prevents the use of mobile phones in trains, restaurants and indoors.
* For first to sixth primary year Japanese students must learn ethics in
dealing with people.
* Even though one of the richest people in the world, the Japanese do
not have servants.The parents are responsible for the house and children.
* There is no examination from the first to the third primary level because
the goal of education is to instill concepts and character building.
* If you go to a buffet restaurant in Japan you will notice people only eat as
much as they need without any waste because food must not be wasted.
* The rate of delayed trains in Japan is about 7 seconds per year!!
The Japanese appreciate the value of time and are very punctual to minutes
and seconds.
* Children in schools brush their teeth (sterile) and clean their teeth after a
meal at school, teaching them to maintain their health from an early age.
* Japanese students take half an hour to finish their meals to ensure proper
digestion because these students are the future of Japan.
The Japanese focus on maintaining their own culture. Therefore . . . ..
* No political leader or a prime minister from an Islamic nation has visited Japan
- not the Ayatollah of Iran, the King of Saudi Arabia or even a Saudi Prince!!
* Japan is a country keeping Islam at bay by putting strict restrictions on Islam
and ALL Muslims.
1) Japan is the only nation that does not give citizenship to Muslims.
2) In Japan permanent residency is not given to Muslims.
3) There is a strong ban on the propagation of Islam in Japan.
4) In the University of Japan, Arabic or any Islamic language is not taught.
5) One cannot import a 'Koran' published in the Arabic language.
6) According to data published by the Japanese government, it has given
temporary residency to only 2 lakhs, Muslims, who must follow the
Japanese Law of the Land. These Muslims should speak Japanese and
carry their religious rituals in their homes.
7) Japan is the only country in the world that has a negligible number of
embassies in Islamic countries.
8) Muslims residing in Japan are the employees of foreign companies.
9) Even today, visas are not granted to Muslim doctors, engineers or
managers sent by foreign companies.
10) In the majority of companies it is stated in their regulations that no
Muslims should apply for a job.
11) The Japanese government is of the opinion that Muslims are fundamentalist,
and even in the era of globalization they are not willing to change their
Muslim laws.
12) Muslims cannot even rent a house in Japan.
13) If anyone comes to know that his neighbor is a Muslim then the whole
neighborhood stays alert.
14) No one can start an Islamic cell or Arabic 'Madrasa' in Japan.
15) There is no Sharia law in Japan.
16) If a Japanese woman marries a Muslim, she is considered an outcast forever.
17) According to Mr. Kumiko Yagi, Professor of Arab/Islamic Studies at Tokyo
University of Foreign Studies, " There is a mind frame in Japan that Islam is a
very narrow minded religion and one should stay away from it."
The Japanese might have lost the war, but they are in charge of their own country.
There are no bombs going off in crowded business centers, "Honor Killings", nor
killing of innocent children or anyone else.
Something to think about......

Subject: MARLIN FIREARMS CLOSING ITS DOORS-Important for all gun owners
Even if you do not own a gun you need to know this. I checked this
out on "Truth or Fiction" who verified it. I trust them more than
Snopes.
Marlin Firearms is already closing its doors! They are doing it to
us, America! This needs to be spread to all gun owners and
sportsmen/women. We cannot rely on the media to inform us of these
types of matters.
Something you may not know that Is happening ... Who
is buying the companies manufacturing guns??? For the last several
years a company called The Freedom Group has been buying up gun and
ammunition manufacturers. Some of the companies are Bushmaster,
Marlin, Remington, DPMS, Dakota Arms and H&R. Some people worry that
this Freedom Group is going to control most of the firearms companies
in the United States. If you control the manufacturers you can
decide to stop selling to civilians.
What a perfect way to control guns. Now if you do some
digging you will see that The Freedom Group is owned by a company
called Cerberus Capital Management. Guess who controls Cerberus???
GEORGE SOROS, Obama's chief financier!! He wants to restrict or ban
all civilian guns. Please pass this on to all your freedom loving
friends. This needs to come out. Why have we not heard about this in
the "mainstream" media? I would think this would be BIG news. (Soros
also owns Progressive Insurance). If you don't know who George
Soros is, you need to do some research. This One-World Government
atheist backed Obama with millions of dollars and Obama is a puppet on
a string controlled by Soros.

Sandy Hook and the Second Amendment
Susan Stamper Brown
December 18, 2012 1:00 pm
emotions running high in response to the heart wrenching events that took place
at the Sandy Hook Elementary School December 14, many of my liberal friends and
family members believe now is the perfect time for gun control
legislation.
heartbreaking as it is that 20 children in Connecticut will not have the chance
to open Christmas presents, celebrate birthdays, go on a first date, drive a
car, graduate, get married, and have kids, there are millions of kids out there
who will. And they are the reason why the rest of us need to fight for the
freedoms guaranteed to us in the Constitution which Progressives are so
predictably willing to give away.
Americans were able to corporately exhale upon hearing the news about the
Connecticut shooting, liberals hopped on the gun control bandwagon. One of
MSNBC's many loose cannons, Ed Schultz, went on a rant saying, "Hiding behind
the Second Amendment doesn't cut it anymore," and described our founders as
slave-owning bigots. It's real hard to wrap your hands around the hypocrisy of
those who cry giant crocodile tears over the loss of these 20 precious children
(and they should), but care little about millions of children who will never see
the light of day due to abortion.
here we go again; Progressives are manipulating the Sandy Hook massacre as a way
to strike down the Second Amendment. Truth is, gun control is like putting a
bandage on a gaping wound. Seems to me a better solution is to do something
about the culture of violence currently destroying our society from the inside
out -- and place armed guards in schools in the meantime. Chances are, had one
been at Sandy Hook, I wouldn't be writing about it today.
may date myself here, but when I was a kid, I didn't stay inside playing violent
computer games or watching violent movies; I played outside with real people who
picked flowers in the spring, climbed trees in the summer, jumped in leaf piles
in the fall, and ice skated on frozen ponds in the winter. And I grew up to be a
responsible citizen and gun owner.
I've written before, if you listen to liberals long enough it's not too long
before you find yourself in Bizarro World. And in the case of the Second
Amendment, Progressives like Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) pretzel it into
something it is not. On "Meet the Press" December 16, Feinstein inferred arming
school guards is a crummy idea because "the rights of the few" (i.e. the
millions who own guns) would, in her world, somehow "overcome the safety of the
majority." Say, what? Bizarro.
brokenhearted as we all are over what happened in Connecticut, gun control will
not stop those lacking certain emotional filters from doing bad things to
children — and others. Policies in China, for example, make it largely illegal
for private citizens to own and sell guns. Possession or sale of a gun can lead
to anywhere from a 3 year prison term to the death penalty. I digress to mention
that because the Chinese government has little regard for human life, gun laws
were devised to protect the tyrannical Chinese government from its citizens
rather than the other way around.
people find a way to do bad things, and in the case of the Chinese, crazy people
are still hurting children. Oddly, on the same day the Sandy Hook massacre took
place, a knife-wielding Chinese man stabbed almost two dozen children at an
elementary school in central China. And he found a way to do it although the
Chinese government recently enacted strict knife regulation measures after a
spate of deadly knife and cleaver attacks on school children in China in 2010,
killing 20 and wounding 50.
long, the Chinese will be eating steak with teaspoons, and so will we -- if we
relinquish our Second Amendment rights to those who would rather steal the
rights of the masses than address our society's moral decline. With that in
mind, the best gift we can give our kids this Christmas is a future filled with
the promise of freedom.
