People Proclaim August 4th
Presidential Appreciation Day

 

Many of the people who voted for change in the last Presidential election are rallying to the support of President Barack Obama.

A recent statement being widely circulated reads in part:

"Since his historic election, President Obama has been inundated with a barrage of venomous criticism.

From the first cries calling for the failure of his administration by Vitter and Limbaugh to the media critique of his handling of the BP oil spill, his critics are unequivocal in telling us that he can do no right.

We call on ALL who support President Obama to take action.

On August 4th, the President's birthday, we ask those who support him to wear any campaign item from the Presidential election as a demonstration of our ongoing support. Bring out your old campaign paraphernalia.

If you don't have caps, buttons or tee shirts, wear a red, white, and blue tri-color ribbon or clothing on August 4th. If nothing else, this simple demonstration of support for our President will provide a counteraction to the negativity that spews forth daily. We can do this.

YES WE CAN. YES WE WILL!

Please share this information with your friends."

WHY
I CAN'T BE A PRESIDENT,
A POPE, OR A POLICEMAN

You have to be nice to too many people who make you either want to hurt them,

or put them out of their misery, or both.

 

(This is the short version - for the long version please contact us, or see me in person)

 


 

When the President was still the President-Elect and the screening of potential public servants was in progress, the Editor did give it some consideration.

 

After observing the process, and the extreme scrutiny into all areas of a person's background and personal life, the Editor concluded that the only two  people eligible would be Mother Teresa and the Virgin Mary.

 

Furthermore, witnessing contemporary attitudes, and reading reports of acts of bigotry inflicted on single mothers, one of them would have either been excluded or later fired.

 

Therefore, the Editor has chosen to remain on the "Fourth Estate" and not yet to "come down from the Reservation" -

 

Like consider:

 

Is there anyone still alive (and not yet senile) who remembers and understands the meaning of the old admonition that "loose lips can sink ships" ?

As People Die From
Lack of Medical Attention:

AN URGENT HEALTH CARE
CONSIDERATION -

How we respond to the needs of the family of humanity is a measure of
our relationship with our Creator. -

(Matthew 25:31 - 46)!

It is time to end the greed
and the hypocrisy that has caused so much misery over the years!

 

NOTE:

Perhaps one of the best arguments for quality health care for all-

William Jefferson Clinton
and
Dick Cheney.

(Whether you love them or loathe them, if they had the kind of health care (or lack of same) experienced by several million Americans, to borrow an expression from Richard Nixon:

You would not have either of them
“to kick around anymore.”)

White House Photograph

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
ON A NEW BEGINNING

Cairo, Egypt
June 4, 2009

 

 

All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time. The question is whether we spend that time focused on what pushes us apart, or whether we commit ourselves to an effort -- a sustained effort -- to find common ground, to focus on the future we seek for our children, and to respect the dignity of all human beings.

 

It's easier to start wars than to end them.  It's easier to blame others than to look inward.  It's easier to see what is different about someone than to find the things we share.  But we should choose the right path, not just the easy path.  There's one rule that lies at the heart of every religion -- that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us.  (Applause.)  This truth transcends nations and peoples -- a belief that isn't new; that isn't black or white or brown; that isn't Christian or Muslim or Jew.  It's a belief that pulsed in the cradle of civilization, and that still beats in the hearts of billions around the world.  It's a faith in other people, and it's what brought me here today.

 

We have the power to make the world we seek, but only if we have the courage to make a new beginning, keeping in mind what has been written.

 

The Holy Koran tells us:  "O mankind!  We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another."

 

The Talmud tells us:  "The whole of the Torah is for the purpose of promoting peace."

 

The Holy Bible tells us:  "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God."  (Applause.)

 

The people of the world can live together in peace.  We know that is God's vision.  Now that must be our work here on Earth.

 

Thank you.  And may God's peace be upon you.  Thank you very much.  Thank you.  (Applause.)

On a planet

The time to heed
the message of

is long overdue !

Around the world we see dysfunctional households, domestic disputes, divided communities, international atrocities, acts of terrorism and genocide.

News reports constantly display reiterations of Jezebel and Ahab, Cain and Abel, Samson and Delilah as well as accounts of Hard Hearted Hannah and Hard Headed Homeboy.




People of the Planet
WAKE UP !!!


For the sake of
your posterity
and your posteriors,
Please Heed
Dr Martin Luther King, Jr's
Keys to Peace !

Editor's Note:

If the worst thing Barack Obama ever did was go to church,
then most of his critics need to go out and get a life!


(Like, whatever happened to the First Amendment?)

Our hundreds of news sources from around the world all agree that:

1.- Neither Jeremiah Wright nor Michael Pfleger is running for President,
and,
2.- Barack Obama is not running for God.

Therefore:

We shall continue to remain focused on the resouces, concerns and issues of greatest benefit to our readers who come from more than 150 nations and who represent most of the families of humanity.

Science (including genetics, anthropology, archeology and geology), history and the scriptures of the major monotheistic religions all agree that there is, after all, only one race - the HUMAN race.

For the sake of our posterity, and our posteriors, we all should govern our lives accordingly.
