The Twin Towers lighting up the night sky as we remember the victims of 9/11 and pray for America.
Today is 9/11/12. Never forget September 11th – WE REMEMBER. Tyranny, terrorism, Muslims willing to die to kill others. This is a reality and the world we live in today.
Together we must stand united and fight extremism wherever it stands. Fight for freedom, justice and Christian moral values. Honor life and fight for the oppressed. Fight for those women in Muslim nations who have no say, no free rights, no freedom of religion, of the press, of assembly, of speech… no rights to pursue happiness as THEY see fit.
Truth. Justice. And the American Way. That is who we are. THAT is what we stand for. Wherever the oppressed may be.
President Barack Obama remembering 9/11 in 2009.
President Bush and Vice President Cheney remembering 9/11 in 2004 with victim families.
Remembering 9/11 from President Barack Obama today:
“Eleven times we have paused in remembrance and reflection, in unity and in purpose. This is never an easy day, but it is especially difficult for all of you, the families of nearly 3,000 innocents who lost their lives.
But no matter how many years pass, no matter how many times we come together on this hallowed ground, know this: That you will never be alone, your loved ones will never be forgotten. They will endure in the hearts of our nation because through their sacrifice they helped us make the America we are today, an America that has emerged even stronger.”
… Israel is the only country that has a 9/11 Memorial with every victim’s name. Never forget our closest ally.
From Israel In L.A. Facebook Post:
On this solemn day, our hearts and prayers go out to the victims of the 9/11 attacks and their grieving families. As the Israeli architect of the 9/11 memorial in NYC said about his creation, we now have a place to remember and reflect as a community. http://isra.li/remember
Photo: The “Living Memorial” in Jerusalem. The only 9/11 memorial outside of the US to include the names of all the victims and their country of origin.
Remember the fallen heroes.
Remembering 9/11 today from former President George W. Bush and Laura:
On this solemn anniversary, Laura and I hold the victims of September 11th in our thoughts and prayers.
An amazing photo from September 11th of our heroes.
Remembering 9/11 from Sarah Palin:
“We remember that eleven years ago today nearly three thousand of our fellow Americans were killed by evil men. Every year on the anniversary of 9-11, we read out the names of those who died and comfort their families, and at military recruiting centers throughout the country, young men and women choose this day to enlist to serve their fellow Americans and ensure that something like this never happens again. While some try to move on with their lives and let the tragedy of that day recede in their memories, our men and women in uniform remain ever vigilant for us.

This is supposed to represent Obama’s “Absentee In Chief” status, and the fact that he hasn’t done enough to reach out to the other party, such as have WEEKLY jobs conferences with the intent of bringing Republicans and Democrats in Congress together to solve the economic crisis.
Instead, as you know, he is out campaigning to try and hold onto his job as President against challenger Romney Ryan 2012.
Whatever you think of the concept for Empty Chair Day though, you gotta admit it’s a pretty hilarious and awesome stunt. Clint had no idea what he was getting into, eh.
… Paul Ryan endorsing P90x and Insane, two workouts that make him buff as hell with 6-8% Bodyfat.
The Romney Ryan and Obama Biden ticket will represent the buffest, fittest Presidential candidates the United States have ever seen.
Way, way outside the mainstream, considering that over half of all Americans are overweight or obese.
Regardless, these guys are in tip-top shape. Mitt Romney runs three miles EVERY morning, Paul Ryan maintains 6-8% bodyfat and does the intense P90X and Insanity workouts on a regular basis, President Obama plays basketball regularly and Joe Biden is as fit and spring as 70-year-olds come.
Mitt Romney, Barack Obama and Joe Biden are all buff and as fit as can be.
I personally think this is awesome, and that our Presidents should be role models in the fitness category if possible. Nothing against those who aren’t, as most of us aren’t, but if they are; all the more power to them and I think it sends a good message to young people.
Hopefully more people will get into P90X and Insanity workouts as Paul Ryan endorses it and discusses it more. It’s becoming more and more popular as word-of-mouth spreads about it.
Here is a fun video of Barack Obama shooting hoops, showing off his insanely smooth stroke! This is such a cool video. As a Basketball fan myself and three-point shooter, I love to see our President shootin’ around!
Awesome artwork from a great educational cartoon on why to vote for Romney this election.
This awesome Why To Vote Romney Ryan Obama vs Romney Election 2012 Fiscal Irresponsibility video describes why the November election is so important and possibly the most important U.S. election of our American lives.
Beyond that this artistic piece shows the creation process as he draws caricatures of Romney and Obama, while also diagramming exactly what he is discussing as he informs us how the United States got into the position it is in and why the upcoming election is so important.
It’s an outstanding video, even if you may disagree with some of its connotations. For example, I do not have a high opinion of the Mormon church, and they, doctrinally, do not qualify as Christians without some caveats in the view of this evangelical.
However, despite those minor disagreements (God is the only who can judge, ultimately), I think most of the video is spot on and everything is fantastically conveyed. Two thumbs up from me!
You can all abortion whatever you want to call it. The act is murdering an individual. Factually.
People are NOT “products” and neither is a fetus. While that may sound like common sense, this absurb stance on another soon-to-be-son or daughter was the counter-argument proposed to my Pro-Life stance by a fellow friend in an extensive debate I had with him on the topic of abortion and life.
One one side (mine), you have someone who believes that all-life is precious, even the tiny innocent human to be born as the result of rape or incest. On the other side (my friend) is the belief that an unborn person is a “product”, and can thus be disposed of at the whims of their mother. Two competing views.
In my mind, while the mother’s life is of the utmost importance, just as important is the PERSON she is carrying inside her. As soon as conception has been made and a human being, your son or daughter, is growing inside you, you forfeit the right of considering your body your own. Anything and everything you do effects your little one, and if they die inside you, YOU DIE. If you are murdered, they are murdered. It is not one murder, it is considered TWO.
This, as everyone knows, is the natural cause and effect of sexual intercourse and unprotected sex. Regardless of the circumstances, that person growing inside you is an innocent boy or girl who deserves their own shot at life. That is my stance as a Christian, Conservative and Republican, and always has been.
This topic was the debate subject I had when my dear childhood, lifelong, liberal Democrat friend called Paul Ryan a “prized asshole” (a phrase I would never use for anyone, I should add. I don’t use that kind of obscene language) over Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney’s Vice Presidential choice’s refusal to support abortion even in the case of rape or incest.
Here is our conversation in full, followed by more observations by me at the end. This will give you a clear definition on where I stand as far as abortion is concerned.
A fantastic picture of our next Vice President of the United States.
Democrat: What a prized asshole. “Paul Ryan Refuses To Say Abortions Should Be Available To Women Who Are Raped” – link.
Me: Just saw an interview with a woman born of a rape. She values her life just as much as you value yours.
Democrat: That’s cool. I once took a psychology class and in the class was a girl who was the product of rape. She said she would have preferred that her mother never had her because she always saw the pain in her mom’s eyes when she looked at her. Even after her mother had more children from a loving relationship, her mom always had a different look and treated her differently then she did her siblings. She said that her mom had a hard time raising her and it was an intense emotional struggle for her mother.
I’m also sure that you’re familiar with the 13th amendment, right? You know what it means and what it stands for. A woman is raped and then a product is made. The mother is then a host for that product… involuntarily.
The product then feeds off of and grows within the mother… without her initial consent. It’s then brought to term and a laborious and painful birth ensures. It was never the intent of the mother to go through with this, the product and constant reminder of a time in which something happened to her that took away her freedoms and it continues for 9 months.
No sense to be so overjoyed. It’s just another product growing inside you, right?
Then come the emotional bondage of give it away to a system of orphanages and foster homes that is broken and underfunded to which the kid has little chance at a normal life or whether to keep it and have the woman remain a slave to the horrendous event and the kid to have “special” treatment as in the case of the student I shared a classroom with.
Taking away the right of a woman to choose her own, something that you believe was imbued to you by a creator (the right to choose) and something that is reinforced by our government (the pursuit of life, liberty and property/happiness), is committing her to slavery/indentured servitude.
Not you or I or anybody in the Whitehouse has the right to say what a woman can or cannot do when it comes to this, for it would be unconstitutional.
Me: Actually it says all have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Once another human being is growing inside you, your body is not your own. Anything and everything you do effects that life, which is why there are warning labels in places that serve alcohol.
Both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have pro-life records, though one has flipflopped on the issue.
As Ron Paul said, you treat pregnant women as two people, not one person. You may forfeit a life as a “product”, which speaks volumes, but many people see it differently. And that life has every right to be given a chance at life despite the circumstances of its birth. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Democrat: Actually, if you look up the history of the phrase, you’ll find that it was intended to mean property and did say it but was changed to say the latter.
I didn’t forfeit anything. A child is a product. Life is a product. Humanity is a product. One of the definitions of the word is “1. Something produced by human or mechanical effort or by a natural process.”
Once a child that was made from such a despicable act of confinement is made, it is an extension or the original act and it’s up to the mother to make the choice, for she is the one that has to live with either outcome and if that’s the case then she has the chance to atone for her actions, right? She’ll meet her maker in the end. Correct? Then we don’t get to decide for her in this life; only she can do that.
Me: Well I’m just glad I don’t have that twisted outlook on life. You should read this book called “A Stolen Life” by Jaycee Dugard.
You would’ve taken her greatest gifts away from her, on account of them being rape induced. Thankfully she held a different view, and sees their life’s as gifts, angels to brighten her day through the chaos and pain she had to endure. Innocent lives.
Here is an extensive interview with Jaycee Dugard.
Democrat: I’m sorry that you think my view on life is twisted just because it doesn’t conform with yours. I would have used the word different because that’s all that it is.
Some Other Dude: You know, mandatory birth control would make this a moot issue. :o)
Me: It’s not because it doesn’t conform, it’s because it values death over life. Innocent life. I should’ve tacked an “with all due respect” onto the front. And that is why this issue will never be “resolved”. I can’t see how anyone can kill an innocent being no matter the circumstances, while you don’t even see it as a being. So there’s no compromising on this front, the gap between views is a gulf as wide as the ocean. Just as a lot of views between Conservatives and Liberals shake out to be.
Democrat: I don’t value death over life. I’m not saying that there aren’t any consequences. I’m just saying that this isn’t for anyone but the woman to decide.
Me: But that means you are giving the infant no choice in the matter. How is that fair? Or moral? That’s how you are choosing death over life. The mother’s life is important, of course, but just as important is the human she is carrying. I don’t see how in the world anyone can undervalue that, considering you, me and everyone that walks this earth was once one of these “products” ourselves.
Think about it logically, if a woman were to take her infant and throw it out the window, that’d be a crime, a disgrace, and immoral. But to kill it, is not immoral? It’s perfectly fine. It’s her choice if he or she lives or dies?
Ron Paul discussing abortion, and how pregnant woman are considered TWO PEOPLE not ONE. The health of the child is just as important as the mother.
Democrat: It’s still not up for you, me or any government to decide.
Me: Actually yes it is, when a child is in danger others step in to save that child, be it the police or government or a concerned citizen who reports abuse. Because that child has rights, just like you and I do, and deserves their shot at pursuing happiness. Parents have authority over the child, but not authority to end the child’s life or cause excessive harm or endangerment to him or her.

Pro Life has defeated Pro Choice on abortion in 2011 and 2012 as Pro-Life continues to grow.
I went on to make a few observations regarding abortion and the state of its support, or lack thereof, in a few other Facebook posts.
“Although Pro-Choice Democrats still outnumber Pro-Life Democrats, the percentage of Pro-Choice Democrats has dropped ten points in the last year, from 68% to 58%. Pro-Life Democrats currently make up 34% of the Party, which is a seven point increase over the same time period.
The upward Pro-Life trend in the country is not limited to older adults. A 2010 Gallup poll illustrates that Americans between the ages of eighteen and twenty-nine have been moving in the pro-life direction. In 2003, 40% of that age group considered themselves pro-life. By 2010, that percentage had increased seven points to 47%.” – – Source
The Democrats do understand that 51% of the country now considers themselves pro-life right? Last time I checked, above 50% is considered a majority. Meanwhile those who identify themselves as “Pro-Choice” is at its lowest point ever, 41%. The DNC (Democratic National Convention, where Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will officially be nominated for the 2012 Democrat Party Ticket as the incumbents) will feature the president of Planned Parenthood speaking at their convention.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think most people see that organization like they perceive Code Pink; radical. As the series of recent stings has proven, where undercover agents revealed them promoting (or failing to report) child rape and child prostitution, and stings revealing Planned Parenthood advisers advising clients that aborting their unborn baby’s based on their kids gender was acceptable and perfectly legal… I think their reputation has been quite tarnished in recent times, wouldn’t you agree? Well We’ll see if hosting the President of Planned Parenthood helps the case for the Democratic Party and Barack Obama, but I have my doubts.
Especially considering that more and more people are coming to the conclusion that abortion is abhorrent and immoral than ever before. After decades of Pro Choice dominance, people are CHOOSING LIFE over death this time, and I expect that Pro Life support will only grow in the future, not shrink. And that includes young people like myself.
Thanks for reading. Sound off on whether you agree or disagree in the comments below.
Keep it civil, I police all comments and will delete your’s if I feel it is unworthy of being posted, at my own discretion. This is NOT youtube or Yahoo or Facebook and I’m determined to keep the comments section from becoming that way.
An absolutely beautiful photo of our President Barack Obama and his lovely daughter Sasha.
This is an absolutely beautiful photo of our President, Barack Obama, with his wonderful daughter Sasha. Simply enjoying the summer sun together. Sasha hanging out in the grass with her daddy.
No matter what you think of the President and his policies, agree or disagree, you gotta love this absolutely lovely photo. Which he tweeted on his Facebook with the hashtag #Summer.
There is some resemblance, especially in this pic of a younger Barack Obama.
Now this is absolutely awesome. President Obama and Will Smith together in one video!
Sitting with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith (now divorced, or so the rumors say. I honestly couldn’t confirm the truth), both rockstar celebrities ask President Obama different questions. Unfortunately the camera cuts between them so you don’t get to see all of them in one shot.
It’s really interesting to see President Obama engaging with the Smiths. Obama has reportedly stated that, if there were ever a movie about him, he’d want Will Smith to play the role of Obama. Can you picture that? Granted, he does have the ears as Obama says.
Obama Pinocchio? That’s what this Conservative Political Comic delves into.
As you can see, the controversial comic has Obama’s nose growing in length for all of the lies that the President has allegedly told. How many of these do you agree are “lies”?
The “lies” include:
* The Private Sector is Doing Fine.
* All of the Above Energy Policy.
* The Notion This White House Would Purposefully Leak Classified Information Is Offensive.
* I’m the Most Fiscally Conservative President Since Ike.
* My Mother Was Denied Health Insurance.
* Shovel Ready Jobs.
* All Bush and GOP’s Fault.
*Solyndra Was Not Our Program Per Se.
* We Only Have 2% of the World’s Oil Reserves.
* Transparency.
* Too Busy To Campaign In Wisconsin’s Recall Election.
* Obamacare Will Not Add One Dime to Our Deficits.
* Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright Who?
The vast majority of these “lies” are actual quotes from Obama’s own mouth, such as here where President Obama states that the notion that his White House leaked classified information is offensive. You can hear him say it yourself in this recent White House Press Briefing video, where President Obama made a rare appearance in the briefing room.
Only one will win…. Obama vs Romney, you vote. YOU DECIDE.
Will President Obama or Mitt Romney win the 2012 General Election in the USA? That is the clear-cut and extremely important question for May 30th, 2012.
On the heels of Mitt Romney officially snagging more-than-enough (by a landslide) delegates to lay claim to the Republican Nomination (and thus officially reaching the “finish line” to become the Republican Party’s nominee for President of ’12); it only makes sense to ask people the big question with a scant 5 months to go until the big vote this November 2012.
Who do you feel will win the election for the Presidency of the United States. Will Democratic incumbent President Barack Obama retain the faith of the American people and win re-election to a second term, or will businessman Mitt Romney dash the first African American President’s Hope & Change for a second term by succeeding him as the first-ever Mormon President of the United States?
There is a lot at stake during this race, and some say it is the most consequential election in our lifetimes. Who will win? Vote below.
The Poll of the Day for May 27, 2012 is a very important one… Do you think the Supreme Court will overturn ObamaCare? A simple yes or no is all I’m asking for.
This is a very important decision, and will be very consequential to the very future of this nation and what direction we want to head. Do you believe the federal government has the power to mandate that every single American get health insurance? Do you believe that government is the solution to the Health Care crisis facing the nation today? Do you believe that government can compel a citizen to buy a service or a product, or face a penalty for their non-action? Do you believe the ObamaCare law will bankrupt the nation, or save it?
These questions often split upon party lines, but the answers effect every single boy and girl in this nation, no matter the party. So, what do you think? We’ll find out for sure soon…
