Freedom Of Religion
Apr 1, 2015 Commentary, Political
The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment is pretty clear. It states that Congress can’t make any laws establishing religion (as in a state sponsored one) and that it can’t prohibit the free exercise of religion. This means anytime, anywhere.
[note]Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. ~ First Amendment US Constitution [emphasis mine][/note]
There are business owners who have deeply held religious convictions and they have refused to do things that they feel violate their beliefs. Many hold that if they participate they are as guilty of the sin, as defined by their religion, as the people committing it.
Indiana is catching hell for a religious freedom bill that assures business people will be protected if they follow their religious convictions. There is nothing in the law that allows discrimination though you would be hard pressed to find that information in the MSM.
There is also nothing that mentions gay or lesbian or any other form of sexual deviancy (and yes, they are deviants from the norm). You would also be hard pressed to find that out in the MSM.
You see, the media, fueled by the radical homosexual community (and liberals, of course), has made this all about homosexuals. They have their panties in a wad over this law and they are spreading the lie that it targets them.
The federal government has this very law, signed by Bill Clinton of all people, and many other states have the law as well. When Clinton signed the law liberals applauded. Now they are attacking Mike Pence for the very law they cheered when Clinton signed on the dotted line.
Let us be clear. You have no right to do business in a shop. You have no right to that owners business. He has no right to your patronage. He is free to decide what he will and will not do and you are free to decide whether or not you will shop there.
The big difference is the shop owner can’t discriminate against YOU. He can’t decide not to do it because you are gay or black or anything else. He can decide not to do it because of what you want [him to do] if it violates his religious beliefs.
You, on the other hand, are free to discriminate against the shop owner for any reason. If you don’t want to shop there because the owner is gay or black or white or whatever you have the right to discriminate that way and the government cannot arrest you for it or fine you for it or force you to shop there.
Should a black baker be required to bake a cake for the KKK or skinheads? Should a Jewish baker be required to bake a cake for a neo Nazi group?
Should a Muslim deli be forced to make you a ham sandwich or cook you bacon for breakfast?
If these things would violate their religious beliefs then they should not have to do them.
The outcry from the gay community is deafening but I never hear any of them attack a gay baker who refuses to make cakes for straight people.
I use a baker for most of the examples because this is what started all this mess but there are plenty of other examples (including my Muslim pork example above).
Should religious hospitals and clinics be forced to provide abortions or birth control if it violates their beliefs?
Should a person of religious conviction be forced to provide some service to a porn shop? Suppose a very religious air conditioner repair person was called to give an estimate and arrived at a porn shop. Should that person be forced to provide the service or should that person be able to decline?
Should a gay florist be forced to provide the floral arrangements for the Westboro Baptist Church (you know they hate gays and blame everything bad on them, right)?
The law in Indiana is to protect people who act in accordance with their religious convictions and does not allow discrimination.
Unfortunately the MSM and the radical homosexuals do not understand this. They are only tolerant of other people’s views as long as those views agree with their own.
If I owned a bakery or any other business I would have a sign that said what the business will not do. Imagine telling the gay folks I will bake you a cake but I will not do any gay themes. It would be helpful to post that sign and then list other bakeries (or businesses similar to yours) that will provide the service.
Perhaps, and this is me thinking outside the box, these folks could move on and find a bakery (or other business) that WILL provide what they want. There are plenty of other places that are more than happy to take your money. Why cause problems?
Because that is the agenda.
Destroy religion. Destroy opposition. Make homosexuality normal.
Sorry but it is not and it never will be.
FWIW, I don’t care if you are gay or straight, black white or any other color and I don’t care what religion you are or what sex you are (or anything else that makes you different from me). Treat me right and I will do the same to you.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Then There Should Be No Negotiations With Iran
Mar 31, 2015 Political
The Obama regime is negotiating on behalf of Iran in a move that will help that nation get nuclear weapons. They can call it what they want but John Kerry and Barack Obama do not like Israel and they want to strike a deal with Iran that helps that nation achieve nuclear weapons. He wants to strengthen Iran and weaken Israel which is why Obama released the information on Israel’s nuclear program.
[note]For those who lack basic comprehension skills, the information is from 1987 but was declassified a month ago.[/note]
I find it strange that barack Obama, a man who is against nuclear weapons and wants to get rid of them, is helping Iran achieve those weapons. Iran is unstable and run by a bunch of nuts who want to dominate the region and put an end to Israel.
That leads me to this.
The commander of the Basij militia of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said that “erasing Israel off the map” is “nonnegotiable,” according to an Israel Radio report Tuesday. Times of Israel
There should be no doubt as to these people’s intentions. Obama recently said he took Bibi Netanyahu at his word regarding the two state solution but for some reason he will not take these nuts in Iran at their word.
These people have been saying for a long time that they want to wipe Israel off the map. This latest information not only affirms this policy but states it is NONNEGOTIABLE.
SInce this is the case there should be NO negotiations at all. The Obama regime should pull out of talks with Iran, sanction them and tell them if they enrich Uranium we will wipe THEM off the map. We absolutely should not throw our ally Israel under the bus.
Unfortunately, Obama is not a leader and he will do everything he can to help Iran.
Given the above statement and the fact that the regime has not broken off talks there must be a reason.
And that reason is that Obama hates Israel. He is an antisemite and he agrees with Iran as to what Israel’s fate should be.
I am embarrassed for our nation. It is embarrassing that we have a child running things and we have allowed this antisemite to piss all over our ally.
I am disappointed that Congress has failed to step up and stop all of this. I know, I know, they are telling us what they are going to do but they have spines of jello so they will cave.
I am also quite disappointed in American Jews who, by and large, continue to support Democrats when that party is full of antisemites who continually aid Israel’s enemies.
In his book Audacity of Hope Obama writes:
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
The ugly direction is coming from the Muslims particularly those in Iran and Obama has been true to his word because he never indicated from which direction the wind had to come. He is standing with them and against Israel (among others).
Well I stand with Israel against those enemies, foreign and domestic, who would seek to destroy her.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Eleanor Holmes Norton Needs Remedial Driver’s Ed
Mar 27, 2015 Political
The attitude in DC is that the laws and the things the commoners are required to do just don’t apply to the elites. They don’t pay their taxes, they exempt themselves from laws, they drive under the influence, they run their own servers and one of them uses his pen and phone to circumvent Congress and violate the Constitution.
Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, the non voting member from DC, is one such person who thinks she does not have to follow the same standards as the rest of us. Se was recently recorded as she attempted to park her car. The lines marking the spaces were on one angle and she tried to park on another angle. As seen in the video every other car is angled in the opposite direction in which Norton tries to park.
She wanted that spot and she wanted to park facing the direction she did and nothing, including the correct way, was going to stop her. She is recorded for a number of minutes and she rubs against a properly parked car at least once. There is no indication she left a note letting the other driver know his car had been struck. Once again, the rules don’t apply to her. Perhaps she could not fathom that she was wrong because she is an elitist member of Congress so it must have been the others who were in the wrong.
Of course there are many reasons this could have happened that might have nothing to do with entitlement though I am sure that mentality played into it. It is quite possible that at the age of 77 she could not comprehend that the other cars were parked on a completely opposite angle. Perhaps she thought she left a note like she claims (even though the recording does not show her doing it) but she was frazzled by the 30 minute parking ordeal and failed to do so.
Perhaps she is just incompetent.
Maybe, given her past of seeing racism in everything, she was dead set against parking in the direction of the lines because they were white.
Hell, for all we know she was distracted because she was practicing her hands up don’t shoot move so she could impress her friends.
Holmes has made some really stupid statements in the past so her intelligence has always been in doubt and her inability to park in the correct direction (forget the lines the cars were all facing a different way) does nothing to dispel the notion that she is not very bright.
I am glad that a few folks were there to record this otherwise she probably would have denied the entire thing. She did claim to leave a note even though we do not se her do it (she and someone else just walked away) so it would not be beyond reason that she would deny ever parking that way or ever striking another car.
After all, she is the one who said:
“You don’t have a right to know everything in a separation-of-powers government, my friend. That is the difference between a parliamentary government and a separation-of-powers government.”
You don’t have the right to know…
But we do know. We know you either can’t drive or don’t think you should have to do what everyone else does.
Probably a little of both.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Did Obama Get Thirty Pieces Of Silver?
Mar 26, 2015 Political
Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver (Matthew 26:14-16). I wonder if Obama was paid that sum as well after he betrayed our allies in Israel by disclosing their nuclear weapons secrets.
There is a report on the Israeli program (the program includes assessments of other nations as well) that was produced in 1987. The document WAS classified until just recently.
It is no secret that Obama does not like Israel and he absolutely hates Prime Minister Netanyahu so much so he sent people and used taxpayer dollars to try and unseat him in the Israeli election.
That did not work so now Obama is getting vicious. The document was declassified last month and the regime had it published thus violating a long standing agreement not to disclose the information.
There is no doubt the release was aimed at harming Israel because the information regarding all the other countries and their nuclear programs has been redacted.
The actions of Obama are petulant and are not what one expects from a leader. He has disgraced this nation by stabbing an ally in the back.
There is nothing good that can come from releasing this information and Obama knows that. He knows it will embolden Israel’s enemies and will open the nation up to further harassment from its neighbors.
There are many things in this world that people can forgive but betrayal is not usually one of them. When someone betrays your trust it is hard to ever trust them again.
Obama might have intended to only harm the Israelis but he harmed this nation as well. How many other allies will look at this and wonder if Obama will betray them as well? How many nations (particularly Israel) who might have secret information about us will feel free to release that information and harm us? There are plenty of unintended consequences that will come from this and none of them will be good.
I have never understood how American Jews could support Democrats yet they continue to do so. I hope this is the final straw that will lead many of them out of the bondage that is the Democrat party.
Obama is a tyrant and I can only hope that when Netanyahu acts he does not hurt America. I do not think he is a petty leader like Obama so I doubt he would do anything to our nation like Obama did to his. But if he did who could really blame him?
I have an idea that might help Bibi respond and help America (and the world) while giving Obama what he deserves.
If any of your intelligence assets have copies of the documents Obama has locked up now would be a good time to release them. Birth certificate, college transcripts, college applications, passports and anything else you might have (or could get) would help the cause if they could see the light of day.
It is important to note that after Judas’ betrayal he returned the silver and hanged himself.
Did Obama hang (metaphorically) himself (and G-d forbid this nation) with this betrayal?
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Maybe Obama Should Have Listened
Mar 25, 2015 Military, Political
Or perhaps he is finally getting it (I doubt it).
Barack Obama announced yesterday that he will not go ahead with his planned troop drawdown in Afghanistan. His original plan was to cut the nearly 10,000 troop strength in half.
During a meeting with new Afghan president Ashraf Ghani Obama announced the change in plans.
He has been warned for years about cutting strength in that fragile region of the world. He went ahead with his plan to remove troops from Iraq and the lack of a strong presence there helped create the monster known as ISIS. His actions have cost the US all the gains made during the hard fought wars.
One can debate whether we should have been there in the first place but the reality is we went there and since we did we had an obligation to keep the gains we made.
Obama was warned time and again that drawing down too soon would end in disaster. He did not listen and now that region is in a whole lot worse shape then when he took office.
He thinks he is the smartest man in the room so he did not listen because he was hell bent on doing everything he could to end the wars he never supported.
I want our troops to come home as much as anyone else but I know they do not want to come home if it means losing everything they gained. Their Commander in Chief betrayed them and they don’t like it.
[note]The rules of engagement need to be eased so our fighting forces can unleash hell on the enemy. We cannot bridle our warriors and watch them die. Let them fight and eliminate the bad guys and end this once and for all. HOOAH[/note]
Perhaps he got the message and it finally dawned on him that cutting troop strength in Afghanistan when ISIS and other bad players are raising hell would not be a wise idea.
Obama is keeping our strength up in Afghanistan and now it is time for President Ashraf Ghani to step up and get his country in shape. We can help the guy but they need to work harder than they have in the past.
They cannot continue to live under the blanket we provide without taking on more responsibility.
If I recall correctly Mitt Romney was more inclined to let the Generals decide the issue though he did agree with Obama on some points. Obama was determined to take the decision himself. It seems that every time you turn around Mitt Romney was right about the things going on in the world. The MSM and liberals bashed him at every opportunity but more and more we are seeing he was right.
But how can you compete with the smartest president evah?
How’s that working out for us?
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
