Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
Taliban’s ban on polio vaccine in Pakistan puts global eradication at risk ~ This is what happens when you’re still stuck in the 14th century. Too bad the progressives wouldn’t let us wipe out this particular strain of Islam when we were in Afghanistan.
But then, thanks to those same lefties, defeating our enemies is no longer the military’s primary objective. Or have they just re-defined “enemies”? ~ U.S. military demonizing its own citizens instead of fighting al-Qaeda ~
“This attack on the AFA (American Family Association) from our own military is part of an ongoing and exceedingly disturbing trend to demonize Christians and Christianity in the ranks.”
Obama’s Curious Purge Of The Military Continues ~ “Curious”? Despotic.
Anyone not buying into fundamental transformation is getting the boot.
As Washington Crumbles, This Senator’s Rise To The Presidency Is Almost Assured Wish I were this optimistic. We still have this unholy alliance to deal with:
The New Nexus: Media Left And Republican Moderates
United States Becomes World’s Number-One Oil Supplier ~ We’ve actually passed Saudi Arabia as the largest supplier of oil – thanks mainly to North Dakota’s Fracking Phenomenon (july 2012).
Report: Illegal immigrant hired as Obamacare ‘navigator’ ~ And a couple other Obamacare enrollment assistants were found to have outstanding arrest warrants against them. But hey – no need to worry about handing over any personal consumer information to such workers – even though they’re not required to undergo background checks.
Outrageous? Yes. But pretty much standard operating procedure for an administration that thinks the rule of law is a joke.
Press Buries Two Stubborn Obama Shutdown Settlement Rejections. File this under more mainstream media malpractice ~
How much different would the nation’s perception of who is at fault in this standoff be if they knew that Obama rejected both a Senate Republican surrender attempt and the idea of treating congressional and White House staff the same treatment under Obamacare as the rest of America?
Family fights to include ‘Jesus’ on grave marker at city-owned cemetery ~ Seriously?! A Colorado preacher’s wife who last week lost her battle with cancer had requested that her cemetery marker be engraved with the ichthys, a symbol of early Christianity ~
(Linda Baker) also wanted the word ‘Jesus’ written inside the fish.
“At first they told us it wouldn’t fit,” Adams(Baker’s daughter-in-law) told me. “But after we kept pushing them the cemetery director told us that it might offend somebody. They weren’t going to allow it.”
This American jihad on Christianity has got to stop!
Find Your State: See How Much Obamacare Coverage Will Cost ~ What will you be forced to pay for this Obomination? Check this quick guide from Heritage.
Then again…
History Rhymes: ObamaCare Website and the Ukrainian Wheat Farmers ~ I wish I could disagree with Ann Barnhardt, but based on the evidence, it sure appears that “it’s intentional” ~
You are going to be punished for failing to comply with ObamaCare, even though the regime has specifically and maliciously seen to it that compliance is impossible – not that any person of conscience should even attempt to comply with the satanic ObamaCare anyway.
