Westboro Baptist Church Group Invades Elizabeth Edwards' Funeral

2010-12-10T07:02:00.000-08:00

A Westboro Baptist Church group, noted for boarding a free ride in disrespecting the dead and loved ones through funeral pickets, is planning to picket the Edwards funeral ticket.

Elizabeth Edwards, 61, died on December 7, 2010 after losing a six-year battle with cancer that began in 2004 as breast cancer. Elizabeth Edwards will be buried at the Edenton United Methodist Church in Raleigh on Saturday.

Looks like the Westboro Baptist ball breakers will stand by their posted definition considering Elizabeth Edwards to be a "disobedient" witch to God's lessons.

For more on that visit Elizabeth Edwards' Funeral Update or visit Elizabeth Edwards Remembered.

The group has managed to pick on who they consider the next poster child for Satan's dirty circle. But then there's this little reality - freedom of protest, freedom of speech.

Some groups take advantage manipulating the system and biblical scriptures to better fit their needs. Simon happens.

So, we thought, what can Elizabeth Edwards mourners do in a peaceful rational counterattack against the picketers?

1. Take Elizabeth's lead and avoid the chatter.
2. Peacefully stand between the funeral and the picketers.
3. Hold signs in honor of Elizabeth Edwards.

No matter what, never ask if they are going to sacrifice you to God. That notion is not what this group is about. I'm not sure I know what this group is about. Only that I will never join.

Nancy Pelosi, The Day After 2010 Elections

2010-11-03T13:02:00.000-07:00

Last night America voted in a Republican majority bumping off Nancy Pelosi as House Speaker. In the past, lasers shot through Pelosi's eyes as support rolled off her forked tongue. America's ears remained burning in the midnight oil in trying to plan her exit. November 2, 2010 will be one for political history - Nancy Pelosi, you're fired! Pack up Miss Swiss.

The "former" Speaker of the House once gave herself an "A" for effort. An "A" that should stand for something else. Unrealistic in a positive fashion with the use of reverse psychology Pelosi tried to inform America, prior to yesterday's election, that the Democrats will not fall behind the Republicans. Someone should have cleaned the think tank off the crystal ball that was proven to be cloudy and full of narcissism.

Pelosi was caught off guard by reporters "the day after" as she hid, ran, dodged with her security detail.

But it's been a lengthy 70 year road for Pelosi since her birth. Time to retire, before her wheels fall off. However, she may stick around, it's a 50/50. So, don't put those sunglasses down just yet - she may not be done looking at you.

If Pelosi is the worst thing America had to deal with, the Federal Reserves would not be an issue. Today the Federal Reserve reports to be creating $900 billion (CNN) to assist in financial woes. Almost an oxymoron in its own right, each time the Federal Reserves prints money the dollar depreciates. Pelosi supports any money making machine.

Obama went on record today in stating that he is aware that the voters have spoken about wanting government to work for them and not against them. But we must ask that question with a follow up.

No, we want the government to work for us in the fashion that we employ the government, not the other way around. "Not against them" and "you hired me" are two different elements.

As America is torn over Harry Reid's worn out seat and appreciates John Boehner's new position, the tides are turning.

Having Obama brown noser Pelosi out of the picture makes 2012 even more interesting. But not as curious as Rand Paul winning Kentucky yesterday. Can you say Ron Paul for 2012?

If we were to say anything positive about Nancy Pelosi it would have to be with her fashion sense and how she carries that Marilyn Monroe wannabe smile. But as far as being the House Speaker, ciao Nancy Pelosi!

That is if she decides to run back to California. Once the reporters master a plan in cornering Pelosi for a statement, after busting through her body guards, the news will spread like wildfire. Or in reality, half as quick as Pelosi's optical lasers.

Do You Support U.S. Tax Dollars Paying For Taliban?

2010-10-07T15:39:00.000-07:00

It should not come as a surprise to know your hard earned tax dollars, which could be used towards domestic planks, finds a way into the hands of the Taliban. Some consider it security payoffs, others consider it a modern day theft. Fresh off the press.

The amount it takes to fund the Defense Department security contracts matches that of Mark Zuckerberg's New Jersey school gift, plus some. More than $100 million supports an excess of 125 contracts.

Security is needed, it's a given. But when money exchanges how many contractors aren't going to turn out being honest Abe?

Private security contractors drained U.S. taxpayer dollars to Afghan warlords and strongmen according to a recent Senate report.

["The succession of warlords and the guards affiliated with them were implicated in murder, revenge attacks, bribery and anti-coalition activities," the report said. "One of those warlords, known as Mr. White-Two, was holding a Taliban meeting at his home when it was raided by U.S. and Afghan forces." ArmorGroup managers, according to the Senate report, gave the Afghanistan warlords nicknames based on the 1992 crime movie "Reservoir Dogs."

"Those warlords were variously implicated in murder and bribery," Levin said at his briefing. "As a matter of fact, Mr. Pink killed Mr. White-One. They were found to possess landmines, large amounts of ammunition and they were determined by the U.S. military to be in league with the Taliban." -- CNN] (Oct. 5, 2010)

In a joint MSNBC report the same applies.

U.S. commanders in Afghanistan may be held responsible for overseeing contracts. Afghanistan is rumored to be mostly controlled by the Taliban. However, who's giving the cash flow without investigating each participant? Prepare for finger pointing. But in factual, the buck should stop here.

Military funds are incredibly filtered from tax money. According to Global Issues (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute 2010) the U.S. military outweighs all other countries in funding. The pie chart is a splash of reality, right in the eye of America.

Sure, we do need to protect our borders and boundaries. But are you willing to pay for two-bit schemes across the globe in order to win a battle that eventually leads to another war? And how can the U.S. justify spending more on military than on education? Education is funded a mere 5% of all military spending.

But the scary corner remains when the American tax dollars end up in the hands of non-American citizens. That should be defined as tax treason.

Do you support U.S. tax dollars paying for Taliban?

Obama's Health Care Plan, 10th Amendment & Privacy Chipped?

2010-10-06T01:37:00.000-07:00

"You have heard it, you have feared it, but mostly have you crossed it? This river banded between 'We the People' and government is called Independence. And there is only one way to take the first step in changing the other side. We must swim against the powers of current." - X. Arnold

Outside of cosmetic teleprompter mistakes, podium presidential seal malfunction, or the endless inheritance of national and federal debt, Barack Obama majestically swaps smiles in hopes he slams the open health care dunk shot. Question is, can he continue to sell ice to the Eskimos if it goes against the laws of their lake?

Recently Obama raised even more eyebrows than Bernie Madoff. The health care tree in a branch formation of insurance secures a trunk thick in competitive goals and rooted straight to a policy holder's wallet. According to Fox Business, 3M, one of the largest businesses is considering dropping health care for retirees. And that's just the beginning.

"Heath care reform has made it more difficult for employers like 3M to provide a plan that will remain competitive." - 3M Memo Obtained by the Wall Street Journal

Blue Cross Blue Shield's Mark Wagar (fitting name) considers hospitals lacking effectiveness and efficiency contributes to a pitfall domino effect of financial loss within the medical world. And no can deny his take on preventative care, we all should be wise to that note in future savings. But when a third party is involved the incentive trickles down the drain.

When the big question unleashed itself between premiums and policy holders the announcer decided to end the interview. Perhaps Fox Business should have started with the last question unless, well, they are naturally ass backwards.

The health care plan, a nice way to slip Americans into one data base, breaks bread (a.k.a. dough) in insurance company businesses through higher premiums, among other unsettling obstacles. It's enough to hold a chip on the shoulder.

If you think the RFID chip is nothing new, you are right. They are now placed within major credit cards, given to California pre-schoolers in one school (future expansion), and reached controversy surrounding GPS chips in criminals. Expect a RFID registry chip (Wiki/HR 3200) with Obama's plan (non-insertions and insertions apply). If you haven't guessed it yet here it is. The government has just turned into the largest health care plan that is so competitive you'll either drop your current insurance that will eventually cost too much, pay the piper when you are fined for having lack of insurance or purchase what the government is selling.

Breaking in the notation of plausible denial.

In 2014, a private health insurance plan will be required if you are not already covered by an employer. Low-cost and high deductible option covers catastrophic, or, just as any insurance plan, a larger purchase will cover more. Age is a factor, smoking is a factor, medical needs play in tune with what is considered the appropriate plan. Again, plausible denial.

When a government traps a citizen accustomed market it deems a breach of good faith in private affairs. And when a government gives citizens no other choice during their squeeze citizens become enslaved to lack there of.

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. - Declaration of Independence.

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." - 10th Amendment U.S. Constitution

The RFID registry, or chip, brings more privacy issues. Handed out like candy, or inserted in the skin, the chips can be scanned by a reader a football field away. This nation faces a dramatic turn in future history.

Personally, there are only two phrases that describes Obama's health care plan to me. Can you spell "damm it I'm mad" backwards?
