No “American Muslim”
So. This show “ALL AMERICAN MUSLIM“…there’s so much wrong here. Muslims follow a theocracy that wants nothing more than to overtake the world. The Koran/Quran/Qu’ran is clear in that. And when they tell you, “No, we are peaceful people…” well, you need to look up the meanings of Kitman and Taqiyya. Muslims are required to lie to advance the goals of their pedophile prophet [may he rot in hell]. They MUST lie. And? Kill infidels [non believers] who will not turn allegiance to Allah. I’m not making this up. They brag about it a lot. And the ones who are supposedly the “fringe radicals”? There are more than you think. The biggest target of Allah’s Army? Americans. We are the ultimate infidel. Predominately Christian, independent, we love our Country…we do NOT follow – we lead. They hate that.
So, there really should not ever be a show called “All American Muslim”. They want everything we are not. Sharia law degrades women and children and keeps everyone who’s not in leadership under the thumb of the theocratic government. Beheadings, stonings, honor killings. Yes, they happen, in this day and age. They won’t show THAT on TV. But you can watch them on YouTube. It’s common place in the Muslim countries, but they lie about that, too. And they want that to be the legal process here.
I will never watch that show. I recently found that Lowe’s has pulled ads from the show/network. I love Lowe’s and I am proud to be a Lowe’s customer. Originally Home Depot was reported to have pulled ads, but now they say they have been “misrepresented”. Not sure what that means, but I won’t be shopping there until they clarify. So here’s the list and the article from my FB wall:

Don’t Touch My Junk!
I’m sorta torn on this. On the one hand, I want to be safe. On the other, I have no intention of flying til I know I can do it without being molested or irradiated. On the one hand, I am not very likely to ever be suspected of being a terrorist, except maybe by Nancy Pelosi…on the other, I am surprised daily at the Americans who clearly hate America. If anyone else touches you in an offensive way, you can have them arrested. The guy in CA isn’t wrong. So, I just don’t know. Like I said, torn.
Rush talked about it today, too:
There was a suggestion in my e-mail yesterday:
“Develop an enclosed booth that passengers step into but, instead of X-raying them, when the door closes, it will detonate any explosive device they have hidden on or in their body. The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth. This would be a win-win for everyone!
There would be no concern about racial profiling. The booth would eliminate long, expensive trials.
You’re in the airport and you hear a muffled explosion, followed by an announcement over the PA system, “Attention standby passengers, we now have a seat available on flight number…”
What’s not to like?”
I think it’s an awesome idea. Until then, I will have to be in the “thanks, but no thanks, I’ll just drive” group for now.
IDs for Illegals
I got this in my e-mail this am. A very interesting read. Certainly a major reason our “Presidente” will not be interested in controlling illegal immigration. Only in MEXIFORNIA… Or is it a sign of things to come??
The following was a narrative for the embedded pics in the e-mail. I found all of the pics on a YT vid, so it is below. Some of the text is describing the picture that was in that spot, but the video goes in the same order so you will get it either way.

IDs for Illegals: The ‘Matricula Consular’ Advances Mexico’s Immigration Agenda
Go ahead, try to enter Mexico illegally. Try and enter any other country illegally. I lived in Canada for 5 years and every six months had to leave the country and come back in and start all over again.
The Santa Ana, CA, Mexican Consulate set up a mobile Mexican Matricula Consular ID center on UNITED STATES PUBLIC SCHOOL PROPERTY- Capistrano School District at the Adult English Language Development Center located at 31351 Camino Real, San Juan Capistrano, CA .
The fee is $27 per matricula consular application.
When the Minutemen arrived at the Capistrano School District Adult School there was a hub of activity. A mobile Mexican Consulate center was in full swing.
Legal resident Mexicans have U.S. issued green cards, for identification.

Mexican Nationals in the U.S. ILLEGALLY do NOT have a green card and therefore need a Mexican matricula consular identification card – matricula means: of a like group and consular means: from a consulate.

Box of matricula consular application forms on US public school property (pic)
One Minuteman (pic)
After the Minutemen had been onsite for about an hour and a half, the mobile center was shut down – (pic)
Once Minutemen began to observe and report, documenting and photographing, the Mexican Nationals no longer ventured forth to the center and many, who had been in attendance, left the mobile center.
MEXICAN DIPLOMAT TELLS MINUTEMEN – LEAVE! (pic)
The Mexican diplomat, above, would not give us her business card nor her name. (pic)
The Mexican diplomat, above, approached the Minutemen as the Minutemen were peacefully strolling about – on United States public school property – observing and taking photos of the event.
Minutewoman – peacefully assembling on public school property. (pic) The Mexican diplomat repeatedly said, “This a private event for Mexicans only…You cannot be here…I am telling you nicely as I do not want to call the police. Please leave.”
Minutemen assembled on U.S. school property (pic)
Minuteman Project National Rally Spokesman Raymond Herrera said to the Mexican diplomat, “No, we will not leave. We are guaranteed freedom of assembly under OUR Constitution.”
I said to the diplomat, “The U.S. should adopt Mexico ‘s immigration policy.” “Oh,” she agreed. ” Mexico has a very good immigration policy.”
Mexican diplomat south side of the mobile center (pic)
The Mexican diplomat was particularly vexed by our photographing of the event. “DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS,” she commanded repeatedly. Minutemen stated that in the USA, we have the right to photograph in public. “No, you cannot take photos,” she insisted. Herrera and the diplomat then entered into a lengthy discussion in Spanish.
GANG MEMBER with application in hand (pic)
The man, above photo, displayed gang hand signals and yelled out “THIS IS OUR TERRITORY!” The Mexican diplomat witnessed and seemingly approved of the gang member at the “Mexican Only” event. (pic)
He appeared to be filling out an application – in his left hand above. Many have informally been told that in the Hispanic community only gang members wear black shoes. Note in the photo above, the only man in black shoes is the self-professed gang member.
DIPLOMAT ASSAULTS!
The Minutewoman, above, had been quietly photographing… (pic)
Mexican Diplomat has a matricula consular card in her hand. (pic)
Suddenly the door above opened, and the Mexican diplomat, came out yelling. The photo above is just before she lashed out. (pic)
To our utter amazement, the diplomat started to strike out at the Minutewoman! We were in a state of shock. As she yelled, she struck across the Minutewoman’s lower right jaw and lip, several times.
The Minutewoman above, in her left hand, used her sign as a shield, while pulling her camera back from the assaulting Mexican diplomat. Ten minutes after the assault the Minutewoman still had a “stinging” sensation on her lip and jaw area. (pic)
POLICE ARRIVE (pic)
Police arrived after the assault.
The police said they had been called by the consulate as they had reported that the Minutemen were inside the building yelling and pushing about. We never entered the building and had been quietly moving outside, on school property.
Herrera spoke with officers then requested they interview the diplomat. Per the officer’s request, the diplomat came forward. (pic)
“They must leave,” she said to the officer. But the officer replied, “No, this is a public school and they can be here.”
The diplomat then said that we must stop photographing them. “Ma’am,” the officer informed her, “You are in a public area and they can photograph.”
The officer then asked her, “Do you have the paperwork to use this facility.”
“Yes,” she replied.
“I would like to see it,” the officer said,
“I don’t have the paperwork with me,” she said back to him.
“I would like to see your identification,” the officer said.
“No, you can’t,” she said to the officer. The officer at this point followed her inside of the building. “I have no identification with me. I did not drive, “she finally said as the officer pursued the issue. At this point, the door shut and the officer remained inside of the building.
OFFICER ON THE PHONE (pic)
After the officer spoke with the diplomat, he returned to his vehicle and spoke on his cell phone for about 15 to 20 minutes.
After he hung up, he met with us. He said the consulate did not have paperwork but that he had spoken to the individual who had granted the use of the school. He said that we could continue to assemble on the school property.
He appeared sympathetic about the Minutewoman assault, but said the Mexican Consulate staff had diplomatic immunity.
MEXICAN CONSULAR VEHICLE (pic)
Please share this! Americans must know what is happening behind our backs, in our own country!
What is a Matricula Consular card?
Matricula Consular cards are identification cards issued by the Mexican government to mainly illegal immigrants living in the United States. Currently, more than 350 financial institutions accept Matricula Consular cards as proof of identification thereby allowing thousands of illegal immigrants to have access to mainstream U.S. financial services.
What it means to be an American
This is the best explanation of what is wrong with this country right now. Please listen.
Oh, yeah!
Now this is awesome. I would love to see these all over by November…just because it would mean people are waking up!
My fervent prayer to God every day is that people wake up. That the bonds of stupidity and socialist thinking fall from their poor sheep-like minds like they did from people like David Horowitz and Whittaker Chambers. Maybe it’s rare, I don’t know. But that is my prayer. Please God, touch their hearts and minds. Amen.
And if a billboard maybe is the thing that makes them wake up and smell the bullsh!t, then I am happy to be a part of it. I am not involved in any way, except as a financial contributor. You can contribute, too, if you like…click on the billboard above.
Please ring some phones!!
Please remember that the current Obamacare legislation:
- Cuts Medicare for seniors by $500 billion.
- Will lead to doctors – and medical institutions – refusing to treat Medicare patients.
- Forces every American to buy health insurance under the penalty of a fine or jail.
- Establishes a Medicare Advisory Board of government bureaucrats empowered to ration health care for seniors, cut their benefits.
- Will not lead to a cost savings once the doc fix is added, and it will be.
There is so much more wrong with this bill. The fact is we may never have a better opportunity than now to stop the radical Obamacare.
It is urgent key members of Congress hear from you.

Tell your Congressman you OPPOSE the Obamacare Plan and that they must vote AGAINST it!
Tea Party Tomorrow!
We were THISCLOSE to packing some clothes and heading out at midnight last night to drive to DC.
That’s when we would need to leave to make it there. In the end, we discussed what responsibilities we had here at home, with an elderly mom and jobs and a mortgage to pay. We decided it would be difficult at best to make it there in time, and that it would make it next to impossible to pay our bills if we used the money on gas, food and hotel rooms for a trip to this rally.
Then it hit me. THIS is why the Tea Party movement is an incredible phenomenon in and of itself! Most conservatives, regardless of party affiliation, are RESPONSIBLE people who pay their own way and don’t expect handouts. Much too responsible to drop all the things they have to do for their families and their employers, or employees, to just run to a rally. No matter how important the protest.
I have been to several. We have given up lunches and rearranged schedules to dri
ve as many as 7 hours to attend them. It’s THAT important to us that this travesty called “health care reform” not be passed into law. The double counting, fuzzy math, backroom dealing, stealing from the elderly and flat out LYING in this bill…not to mention the fact that they are disregarding the directive of the American people AND the CONSTITUTION to do it!
There are are so many people that don’t see the whole picture. We do not have people dying in the streets for lack of health care. Doctors and hospitals aren’t turning people away for lack of insurance. I worked in health care for over 20 years. We saw people without insurance all the time. Medicare and Medicaid need to be fixed and expanded, if there really are people not covered. Absolutely. Do THAT first. And the insurance companies need to have some guidelines as to not being able to drop people when they get sick. That’s why we pay for insurance in the first place. Duh. Allow insurance sales across state lines. Make them work for our business. But this bill doesn’t do that and will end the health care we have now…the best health care in the world. Health care workers need to CALL THEIR REPS! Tell them to VOTE NO!
This makes me so sick. I just watched Pelosi…again…say she is assured of a victory “for the American people”. This health care travesty is NOT what MOST of us want and I am livid. They have no business issuing “rights” and the folks that elected them to office don’t either. I will be here tomorrow, calling whoever I can to beg them to vote no. Please do the same. Call them. E-mail them. Go to their office. Please ask them to vote no. This is not what we want.

VERY helpful info from the corner:
Thursday, March 18, 2010
If you want to make your voice heard on the health-care bill before the House votes on Sunday, you’d better do so quickly. To make things easier for you, here, organized in alphabetical order by state, are the 40 key Democratic members of Congress whom Jeff Anderson and Andy Wickersham identified in a Critical Condition post last week, together with their direct Capitol Hill office phone numbers. (I haven’t kept track of all the developments since then, but it would be useful to congratulate or berate your member, as you see fit, if he or she has firmly adopted a position.)
The “(S)” means that the member voted for the Stupak amendment last fall.

Call to Rally in D.C.
The liberals are trying to push this vote through on a Sunday during Lent to keep us from being able to contact our Reps and voicing our opinions. So, Reps. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and Steve King (R-IA) to try to organize a tea party rally at the Capitol on Saturday. If anyone is available at this short notice to go to DC, you can RSVP at the site below. If you want to support those going, check out the site anyhow. I will be praying for everyone who can make the trip and calling to see what else I can do to help.
Let’s not forget these are the same folks who have been screaming about a woman’s “RIGHT” to choose what to do with her own body regarding abortion…the killing of another person for your own convenience. And yet…they want to make it Federal law that the Government can tell EVERYONE what they can do with their bodies regarding healthcare!! As usual, they make no sense at all. Don’t sit back and let them vote this in to law!
People’s Saturday Surge on DC
Miss me yet?
OMG, this is hilarious.
You know what? I do. And not for the reasons that you might think. Sure, I felt safer and less like we were headed into a Socialist situation. There was plenty of partisan bickering then, too, so that’s not new. But, dang, did we see Bush as much in 8 years as we’ve seen Obama in one? The press corps were complaining they hadn’t seen Obama in “awhile”. Really? Cuz I see him everywhere. Every day. Speeches and speeches worth.
Anyhow, the billboard. Could be Photoshopped, but it’s not. This is actually a real sign and it was paid for by a group of small business people in Wyoming, Minnesota who feel like Washington DC is against them. I feel like Washington DC is against Americans in general. Even those that voted for them. I still feel like both sides of the aisle think they were elected to royalty instead of public service. Especially the “Commander in Chief”. He basically said today that he will do what he wants, regardless of what is decided in Congress. Really? So, basically, he is the King and we lowly subjects do not have enough sense to know what we want.
He said today that the “public soured on process…contaminated how they viewed substance”. Really? Guess what? I think we were “soured” on the substance…the pork, the idiocy, the audacity. There are some really simple things to do that cost nothing. Let’s try those first! What is wrong with allowing insurance sales across state lines as a starter? It would cost NOTHING and it would spur competition and lower prices, better coverage, more customer service. What exactly is the problem with this? It could be done in a matter of weeks. It would NOT take 2900 pages of BULLSH!T to put in place. NO one would have to be paid off to vote for it. Even better…make it a stipulation that any company that sells health insurance may NOT drop a customer due to illness and they cannot deny policies to those with pre-existing conditions. There, done. You want to be in the health insurance business, you play by these rules. Doesn’t take 2900 pages.
I wonder how it is that Washington DC is rife with people who have NO common sense at all. Oh. Maybe it’s that the people who voted them into office had none. Sure sucks when your fellow Americans vote based on a false promise of transparency and lots of free goodies from the government. Oh, wait. The free goodies are NOT from Obama…they are from you & me, the TAXPAYERS.
Yeah, I miss Bush. I coulda lived without this particular change.
Well said, Harold
Found this on the internet…and Snopes has it verified. As “proud” as Michelle Obama is “finally’ feeling of our Country…I am equally ashamed of this administration and hoping it lasts no more than one term. We cannot afford more.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don’t believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos’n Mate. Now I live in a “rest home” located on the western end of Pearl Harbor allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.
One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.
So here goes.
I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.
I can’t figure out what country you are the president of. You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
# “We’re no longer a Christian nation”
# “America is arrogant” – (Your wife even announced to the world, “America is mean-spirited.” Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)
I’d say shame on the both of you but I don’t think you like America nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.
After 9/11 you said, “America hasn’t lived up to her ideals.” Which ones did you mean?
1. Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British ?
2. Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War?
3. I hope you didn’t mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellahs I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around because we stand for freedom.
4. I don’t think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.
Take a little advice from a very old geezer,young man. Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don’t, I’ll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their
people like slaves.
And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don’t want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts who was putting up a fight? You don’t mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don’t want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.
One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life but you’re the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you’re not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you’re thinking of.
You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.
You’re not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That’s not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now. And I sure as hell don’t want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.
Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes
