DO YOU THINK IF WE ASK HIM,
HE'D RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. ?

Prime Minister John Howard - Australian Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks. Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.

'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their
culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'

'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'

'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese,
Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society .

Learn the language!'

'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'

'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'

'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you
every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'

'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'

Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, American citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.

Obama's Birth Certificate Sealed by Gov of Hawaii

Why is there no outrage over Obama's refusal to disclose his birth certificate?

Now the governor of Hawaii has "has placed the candidate's birth certificate under seal and instructed the state's Department of Health to make sure no one in the press obtains access to the original document under any circumstances.

In Kenya, [WorldNetDaily] was told by government authorities that all documents concerning Obama were under seal until after the U.S. presidentail election on November 4.

In a startling development, Obama's Kenyan grandmother has reportedly alleged she witnessed Obama's birth at the Coast Provincial Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya."

To read the entire article by WND http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=79174

If Obama was born in Hawaii who was the presiding doctor? What was the name of the hospital?

If Obama was indeed born in Kenya, he would not be eligible to become President of the United States. US Law very clearly stipulates "If only one parent was a US citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16."

Obama's father was not a US citizen. His mother was was only 18 when he was born. Unless Obama was born in Hawaii (as has yet to be proven) he could only be a Naturalized Citizen. Naturalized Citizens are ineligible to hold the office of President.

The DNC and/or Obama should produce the birth certificate if only to end the speculation. Every other American should DEMAND the birth certificate! It is our right to know!

Honest Journalism

Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn On the Lights?

Editor's note: Orson Scott Card is a Democrat and a newspaper columnist, and in this opinion piece he takes on both while lamenting the current state of journalism.

Palin & Feminism

Camille Paglia has written another fabulous article concerning Sarah Palin. While Ms. Paglia and I disagree on many things; her stance on Palin in relation to feminists, liberals and the media is one that I applaud:

[B]oth Todd and Sarah Palin, whom most people in the U.S. and abroad had never even heard of until six weeks ago, have emerged as powerful new symbols of a revived contemporary feminism. That the macho Todd, with his champion athleticism and working-class cred, can so amiably cradle babies and care for children is a huge step forward in American sexual symbolism.

Although nothing will sway my vote for Obama, I continue to enjoy Sarah Palin’s performance on the national stage. During her vice-presidential debate last week with Joe Biden (whose conspiratorial smiles with moderator Gwen Ifill were outrageous and condescending toward his opponent), I laughed heartily at Palin’s digs and slams and marveled at the way she slowly took over the entire event. I was sorry when it ended! But Biden wasn’t — judging by his Gore-like sighs and his slow sinking like a punctured blimp. Of course Biden won on points, but TV (a visual medium) never cares about that.

The mountain of rubbish poured out about Palin over the past month would rival Everest. What a disgrace for our jabbering army of liberal journalists and commentators, too many of whom behaved like snippy jackasses. The bourgeois conventionalism and rank snobbery of these alleged humanitarians stank up the place. As for Palin’s brutally edited interviews with Charlie Gibson and that viper, Katie Couric, don’t we all know that the best bits ended up on the cutting-room floor? Something has gone seriously wrong with Democratic ideology, which seems to have become a candied set of holier-than-thou bromides attached like tutti-frutti to a quivering green Jell-O mold of adolescent sentimentality.

And where is all that lurid sexual fantasy coming from? When I watch Sarah Palin, I don’t think sex — I think Amazon warrior! I admire her competitive spirit and her exuberant vitality, which borders on the supernormal. The question that keeps popping up for me is whether Palin, who was born in Idaho, could possibly be part Native American (as we know her husband is), which sometimes seems suggested by her strong facial contours. I have felt that same extraordinary energy and hyper-alertness billowing out from other women with Native American ancestry — including two overpowering celebrity icons with whom I have worked.

One of the most idiotic allegations batting around out there among urban media insiders is that Palin is “dumb.” Are they kidding? What level of stupidity is now par for the course in those musty circles? (The value of Ivy League degrees, like sub-prime mortgages, has certainly been plummeting. As a Yale Ph.D., I have a perfect right to my scorn.) People who can’t see how smart Palin is are trapped in their own narrow parochialism — the tedious, hackneyed forms of their upper-middle-class syntax and vocabulary.

As someone whose first seven years were spent among Italian-American immigrants (I never met an elderly person who spoke English until we moved from Endicott to rural Oxford, New York, when I was in first grade), I am very used to understanding meaning through what might seem to others to be outlandish or fractured variations on standard English. Furthermore, I have spent virtually my entire teaching career (nearly four decades) in arts colleges, where the expressiveness of highly talented students in dance, music and the visual arts takes a hundred different forms. Finally, as a lover of poetry, I savor every kind of experimentation with standard English — beginning with Shakespeare, who was the greatest improviser of them all at a time when there were no grammar rules.

Many others listening to Sarah Palin at her debate went into conniptions about what they assailed as her incoherence or incompetence. But I was never in doubt about what she intended at any given moment. On the contrary, I was admiring not only her always shapely and syncopated syllables but the innate structures of her discourse — which did seem to fly by in fragments at times but are plainly ready to be filled with deeper policy knowledge, as she gains it (hopefully over the next eight years of the Obama presidencies). This is a tremendously talented politician whose moment has not yet come. That she holds views completely opposed to mine is irrelevant.

Even if she disappears from the scene forever after a McCain defeat, Palin will still have made an enormous and lasting contribution to feminism. As I said in my last column, Palin has made the biggest step forward in reshaping the persona of female authority since Madonna danced her dominatrix way through the shattered puritan barricades of the feminist establishment. In 1990, in a highly controversial New York Times op-ed that attacked old-guard feminist ideology, I declared that “Madonna is the future of feminism” — a prophecy that was ridiculed at the time but that turned out to be quite true. Madonna put pro-sex feminism on the international map.

But it is now 18 years later — the span of an entire generation. The instabilities and diminishments for young women raised in an increasingly shallow media environment have become all too obvious. I had grown up in a vibrant pop culture with glorious women stars of voluptuous sensuality — above all Elizabeth Taylor, sewn into that silky white slip as the vixen Manhattan call girl of “Butterfield 8.” In college, I feasted on foreign films starring sexual sophisticates like Jeanne Moreau, Anouk Aimée and Catherine Deneuve. Sex today, however, has become brittle and superficial. Except for the occasional diverting flash of Lindsay Lohan’s borrowed bosom, I see nothing whatever that is worth a second glance. Pro-sex feminism has worked itself out and, like all movements, has degenerated into clichés. And even Madonna, with her skeletal megalomania, looks like a refugee from a horror movie.

The next phase of feminism must circle back and reappropriate the ancient persona of the mother — without losing career ambition or power of assertion. Betty Friedan, who had first attacked the cult of postwar domesticity, had long warned second-wave feminists such as Gloria Steinem about the damaging exclusion of homemakers from their value system. The animus of liberal feminists toward religion must also end (I am speaking as an atheist). Feminism must reexamine all of its assumptions, including its death grip on abortion, if it wishes to survive.

The hysterical emotionalism and eruptions of amoral malice at the arrival of Sarah Palin exposed the weaknesses and limitations of current feminism. But I am convinced that Palin’s bracing mix of male and female voices, as well as her grounding in frontier grit and audacity, will prove to be a galvanizing influence on aspiring Democratic women politicians too, from the municipal level on up. Palin has shown a brand-new way of defining female ambition — without losing femininity, spontaneity or humor. She’s no pre-programmed wonk of the backstage Hillary Clinton school; she’s pugnacious and self-created, the product of no educational or political elite — which is why her outsider style has been so hard for media lemmings to comprehend. And by the way, I think Tina Fey’s witty impersonations of Palin have been fabulous. But while Fey has nailed Palin’s cadences and charm, she can’t capture the energy, which is a force of nature.

CBS Reporter Shocking Claim: Obama Treats Press Badly!

An interesting analysis by a reporter from CBS on how the press is treated by McCain compared to Obama. His descriptions of the two campaigns may give insights into how the White House would be run by each candidate.

Camille Paglia: A Thinking Liberal

Finally, I have found a liberal that is using his/her brain instead of blindly following the rhetoric. Camille Paglia wrote a fantastic column today concerning Palin and feminists.

Now that's the Sarah Palin brand of can-do, no-excuses, moose-hunting feminism -- a world away from the whining, sniping, wearily ironic mode of the establishment feminism represented by Gloria Steinem, a Hillary Clinton supporter whose shameless Democratic partisanship over the past four decades has severely limited American feminism and not allowed it to become the big tent it can and should be. Sarah Palin, if her reputation survives the punishing next two months, may be breaking down those barriers. Feminism, which should be about equal rights and equal opportunity, should not be a closed club requiring an ideological litmus test for membership.

Paglia also discusses the "witch-trial hysteria" of the Democrats and media toward Palin, abortion, the death penalty, and the "disturbing trend" of the Democratic Party in becoming "judgmental and intolerant".

Conservatives are demonized, with the universe polarized into a Manichaean battle of us versus them, good versus evil. Democrats are clinging to pat group opinions as if they were inflexible moral absolutes. The party is in peril if it cannot observe and listen and adapt to changing social circumstances.

Just as Paglia "may not agree a jot with [Palin] about basic principles", Paglia and I disagree also. But it is refreshing to find a Democrat (or Republican for that matter) who looks at issues logically and not emotionally.

Camille Paglia's column is a must-read. Trust me on this!

Jan David Clark Update 9/9/2008

According to the Ector County Court docket, David Clark is scheduled to begin his trial this week.

http://www.co.ector.tx.us/district/Dockets/CrJD09-08-08Trotter.pdf

I don't know exactly what day the trial is scheduled to begin.

Obviously Chris, David's son, did not get the funds together to hire his dad a lawyer, so he will have to continue with the court appointed attorney Lawrence Barber. Maybe he had trouble raising funds because everyone around David loves their money more than him. Barber believes that David has enough personal funds to pay for his own attorney. Looks like even David loves his money more than himself.

I will post anything that I can find relating to this case, but even the local newspaper The Odessa American doesn't seem interested in David Clark.

It's Sarah Palin!

John McCain has surprised me. To choose Sarah Palin as his VP choice is brilliant. I've been telling my husband for days that she is the only smart choice that he could make. All of the others had major drawbacks. Palin could only benefit McCain.

She is the youngest governor of Alaska with an 80-90% approval rating. She obviously is a woman, which will draw many disgruntled Democratic women libbers. She is a die-hard Republican, member of the NRA, Pro-Lifer, Christian, and wants marriage defined as between a man and a woman. This will reassure the far Right-Wing base. She is only 44 years old which will help counteract the age issue that McCain has had to deal with. She is a mother of five children. One is a special needs child and another in the military.

She has been compared to Margret Thatcher, but a lot better looking and was even a contestant for Miss Alaska. She will be incredible debating Biden!

Thank God that I can now vote for McCain without a clothes-pin on my nose!

Obama is running on "Change", yet he picks a running mate who has been in Washington for 35 years. Those who actually want change should now vote McCain. Palin has produced change in Alaska and she can do it in Washington.

Jan David Clark Update 07/22/2008

Odessa American article dated 7/22/08:

Clark hearing postponed
by Christine Stanley

A pre-trial hearing for a West Odessa man charged in connection with the slaying of his wife has been postponed until Sept. 4.
The court is allowing Jan David Clark's son, Christopher, more time to secure funds to hire his father an attorney. Clark's court-appointed attorney, Lawrence Barber, has said Clark has enough assets to pay for counsel out of his own pocket.
Clark has been behind bars since February after telling sheriff's investigators that his wife, Susan Kay Clark, died while he was trying to rid her of a demon.
According to a probable cause statement, Clark said he was holding his wife's face to the floor of their carpeted master bathroom at 3547 Ferguson St. when the exorcized spirit from her body entered his, causing him to kill his wife.
Preliminary autopsy results showed Susan Kay Clark was suffocated. Investigators found the 59-year-old woman, known by family and friends as "Nanny," wrapped in a bed sheet on her back with a cross and a sword placed atop her body.
In a February jailhouse interview, 60-year-old Clark said he was innocent, claiming he shared a cell at the Ector County Detention Center with 10 demons.
"I was moving ahead of the Lord's timing," Clark said at the time of his wife's death. "We were locked in combat for three hours. She's small but mean. That night was the first time I had ever spoken in tongues."
Dave Clark's father was Dr. J.T. Clark, an Odessa dentist who was the city's mayor from 1960 until 1962

New Secretary of Energy

Whoever the next President is, the best choice for Secretary of Energy would be T. Boone Pickens. Here is a man with a plan!

By building wind generators from Texas to North Dakota we can "produce 20% of the electricity for the United States." Also, building wind power facilities in small towns will produce jobs for rural Americal.

Pushing Natural Gas Vehicles (NGV) would not only help with our enery crisis, but they are cheaper to run and are better for the environment. "Natural gas is our country's second largest energy resource; [it] is one of the cleanest, safest and most useful forms of energy — residentially, commercially and industrially; [and] Domestic natural gas reserves are twice that of petroleum." In some states, natural gas at feuling stations are less than $1 a gallon! "According to the California Energy Commission, critical greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas are 23% lower than diesel and 30% lower than gasoline. "

More details on the Pickens Plan are available at the website below.
