“Stimulus” has become an unpopular word among Democratic politicians and planners. I suppose so. The only things the past trillion dollar “stimulus” bill stimulated were government salaries and employment. It was rather like a doctor, listening to some man, complaining about sexual inability saying, “I can help you,” and then giving himself a handful of Viagra.
Labor unions are organizing to patrol the polls come Election Day. Obama’s Attorney General Holder will probably exercise the same safeguards that he used in dismissing the charges of black thugs videotaped threatening potential voters with clubs in the last election.
The latest move in Obama’s Attorney General, Mr. Holder’s, anti-Arizona drive has been to file a law suit against the State of Arizona for requiring immigrants to show their green card when applying for work as proof that they have a legal right to work in the United States. Our government also has a law that permits the government to fine any company employing an illegal immigrant. It is a lose/lose situation. The employer who requires proof can be fined, the employer who hires illegals can be fined. What next, President Obama?
I have a suggestion that Attorney General Holder might approve. Sue any district that has police arrest persons who threaten voters at the polls. It makes as much sense as suing those who require evidence of a legal right to work before employing.
With Holder and Obama’s other “Czars” making up new laws as they go, why do we need a Congress? We could save billions by closing the House of Representatives and the Senate. That would erase the national debt. They are not necessary for Obama’s rule anyway.
Obama took a short vacation on Labor Day. His week long vacation the week or so before must have tired him. Sheila says that the more vacations he takes the better off our nation is, but I argue that Holder and his “Czars” are doing all the damage possible in his absence.
I have read that Muslim mosques have suspicions that FBI agents are attending some of their services. Let me state, emphatically, that neither I nor any other member of our Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Charlotte will object to the presence of an FBI agent. In fact as many can come as they wish and bring their families. We would hope, of course, that they would contribute when the collection plate was passed around, but that is not essential.
In fact, Sheila and I, at her demand, have attended many different churches in our wanderings. These have included a Mormon church and Black churches (where we were noticeable.) Not a single church objected to me (other than the one where I taught Sunday School for several years) and neither would they have objected to an FBI agent, one or more. The only reason for a church objecting to an FBI agent would be if the church was using its “service” to promote and/or plan activities which were against the law. In that case, they are not “churches” and should not be treated as such. They are criminal activities.
After much consideration, I believe I have discovered the difference between jihadists, radical Muslims and moderate Muslims. Jihadists are those who believe that sacrificing their own lives in order to kill others sends them to Heaven where lots of virgins await their coming. It doesn’t appear to matter whom they kill: Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, brands of Muslims other than their own, old people, children, women, men – anyone will suffice to get them their reward. (Actually, so many virgins have been used up recently that their heavenly reward may consist of re-cycled wantons, but they have to wait to find out.) Radical Muslims are those who recruit, encourage and finance jihadists to give up their lives: better someone other then themselves. (Reminds me of a lieutenant I had in Korea, he was willing for us scouts to go to any dangerous area, so long as he could stay safely in the rear, which he did.) Moderate Muslims are those who peacefully pray and support their mosques. This permits radicals to use their donations to finance jihadists.
Obama’s speech saying the United States was not a Christian nation, his cancellation of the day of prayer on the grounds that it might offend some people and his celebration of Ramadan which included inviting 10,000 Muslims to the White House for the celebration might make some think Obama was a Muslim. I don’t think so. I suspect he probably prays to his god five times a day, if not more, but he doesn’t face Mecca when he does this. He faces a mirror.
