The Statue:
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS? OR WHERE THIS IS?
This statue currently stands outside the Iraqi palace, now home to the 4th Infantry division. It will eventually be shipped home and be put in the Memorial Museum in Fort Hood, Texas.
The statue was created by an Iraqi artist named Kalat, who for years
was forced by Saddam Hussein to make the many hundreds
of bronze busts of Saddam that dotted Baghdad.
Kalat was so grateful for the Americans liberation of his country he
melted 3 of the heads of the fallen Saddam and made the statue as
a memorial to the American soldiers and their fallen warriors.
Kalat worked on this memorial night and day for several months.
To the left of the kneeling soldier is a small Iraqi girl giving
the soldier comfort as he mourns the loss of his comrade in arms.
Do you know why we don't hear about this in the news? Because it is heart warming and praise worthy.. The media avoids it because it does not have the shock effect.. But we can do something about it.
We can pass this along to as many people as we can in honor
of all our brave military who are making a difference.
And please pass this on!
1% TRANSACTION TAX - Beginning of European Socialist Style Valued Added Tax
This is an email I received September 19, 2010
1% TRANSACTION TAX
"The bill is HR-4646 introduced by US Rep Peter deFazio D-Oregon and US Senator Tom Harkin D-Iowa. It is now in committee and will probably not be brought
out until after the Nov. elections. I suggest that you pass this along and also contact your State senator and representative along with your US Congressman and Senators.
President Obama's plan is to sneak this in after the November election to keep it under the radar. This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution, (i.e. Banks, Credit Unions, etc.) Any deposit or transfer you make, or even move around within your account, will have a 1% tax charged.
If your pay check or your social Security or whatever is direct deposit, 1% tax charged. If you hand carry a check in to deposit, 1% tax charged, If you take cash in to deposit, 1% tax charged. This is from the man who promised that if you
make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one dime of new tax. Keep your
eyes and ears open.
Some will say aw it's just 1%... remember once the tax is there they can
raise it at will.
The bill was introduced in the House by Chaka Fattah,(D-PA 2nd) and went to committees for action on 2/23/10. It is related to the Senate Bill S.2965, introduced by Sen. John Ensign (NV), S.10 introduced by Sen. Harry Reid (NV) and S.2853 introduced by Sen. Conrad Kent (ND). These Senate bills mostly are concerned with the establishment of another federal agency which reports to the President,
the Vice President and Speaker of the House and various other leaders of both
chambers on the nation's long-term fiscal imbalances.
The gist of HR-4646 is as stated above - a 1% tax on all transactions using a payment instrument, including any check, cash, credit card, transfer of stock, bonds or other financial instrument. It also provides for a phasing out of the
individual income tax and is offset by a nonrefundable income tax credit, so what
you pay in the 1% fee will be a deductible item only up to the extent it does
not exceed your income tax liability....very clever these politicians,
giving with one hand and taking away with the other, or in this case with
both."

Speak Now (In English)… Revoke Executive Order 13166
This is an email I received this week from ProEnglish.org :
Last week, the Department of Justice released a statement commemorating August as the 10th anniversary of former President Bill Clinton’s signing of Executive Order 13166, or Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency. EO 13166 says that any entity which receives federal funds must provide whatever services it offers in any foreign language spoken by anyone likely to receive those services.
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) has introduced a bill (H.R. 1228) that will effectively revoke this executive order. H.R. 1228 provides that EO 13166 will have “no force or effect, and it will prohibit use of the funds for its purposes.” The bill currently has 28 cosponsors, but we need more! Please urge your congressman to become a co-sponsor today!
TAKE ACTION
EO 13166 must be revoked because:
* Executive orders do not carry the full force of congressionally-approved law, yet EO 13166 is being treated as if it did.
* EO 13166 has opened a whole new field of medical malpractice liability, as well as increased the number of “civil rights” lawsuits against government and private agencies.
* National origin is not the same as language. EO 13166 says that failure to comply with its terms constitutes “discrimination on the basis of national origin,” but numerous court decisions have rejected attempts to equate language with discrimination.
* It is a very expensive unfunded federal mandate. EO 13166 orders federal fund recipients to pay for the cost of translation and interpreter services with their own money, so there is no federal reimbursement.

An Open Letter To Obama From A Mother, Re Safe School Czar Kevin Jennings
An Open Letter To Obama From A Mother, Re Safe School Czar Kevin Jennings
December, 6, 2009 — nicedeb
I demand that Kevin Jennings be removed from his position today.
This letter by Jennifer Hartline comes via Catholic Online, and I’m re-posting it in its entirety. Read it, she speaks for millions of us.:
An open letter to Mr. Obama
I will not address you as Mr. President. I question whether you are fit to lead anyone. What I have learned today is the very last straw. I cannot even give you the benefit of the doubt any longer. Frankly, I feel foolish for ever being inclined to do so.
We have endured a great deal from you in one short year, and it is simply too much to bear any longer. You are clearly bent on taking our country down a road of unabashed immorality and debauchery no matter what the people think or say to the contrary. It is time for our elected leaders to take a bold initiative and curtail your abilities to do any further damage.
You have filled your administration with people who hold the most outrageous, insane, and frightening views on everything from our climate to our animals and worst of all, the sexuality of our children. You plainly gravitate toward these radical sorts who have a view of America and the world that I and many other will simply never tolerate. Your intentions have been revealed, and they are divisive and destructive.
Do not attempt to distance yourself from the views of Van Jones, Cass Sunstein, and John Holdren. You don’t get a pass anymore. The buck stops with you. If you appointed them, then you believe what they believe. If you think they’re off-base and you disagree with them, then you shouldn’t hire them to do your laundry, let alone fill a cabinet-level position. If they’re on your team, then you’re okay with everything they’ve said and published – period. You’re the one who wanted the job, so stop crying about being unfairly aligned with crazy radical views.
Quite possibly the worst of all is Kevin Jennings, your so-called Safe Schools Czar. That you have given this man the task of making our public schools “safe” for students to learn is stunning. Jennings has a view of “health” and “safety” for our kids that is shockingly corrupt and devoid of morality and you gave him the job.
I am unutterably sick to death of the hyper-sexualization of our children in this culture, and I will not silently allow you and Jennings to further this twisted agenda in our school system under the banner of tolerance and equality. How dare you use the power of your office to pollute my children’s futures with rampant, forced, immoral sexual indoctrination!
I read through as much as I could stand of Jennings’ list of “safe reading” for our school children beginning in kindergarten all the way through 12th grade. I saw some of the illustrations in these recommended books and I was glad I had an empty stomach. What I read and saw was revolting and pornographic. This filth is what your czar wants our children to read in order to foster understanding, tolerance, and create a safe environment for learning? This putrid smut has one purpose only and that is to break down a child’s moral center and make them slaves to selfish, destructive, immoral, and even deadly sexual behavior.
Your intentions have been revealed, Mr. Obama. You are no friend of parents in this country. If you want to denounce this disgusting “safe reading” list then fire Jennings immediately. Otherwise, you are complicit in endorsing this repugnant garbage and the end result it seeks to achieve. Stop destroying the innocence of our children through exposing them to what appears to be this mans obsession with unrestrained, immoral sexual activity.
As a parent and voter I demand that Kevin Jennings be removed from his position today, and I demand that my Congressman and Senators take action to require his removal. You have proven your motives to be far worse than even I imagined a year ago. I thought, I hoped, that you would prove to be reasonable and show a modicum of moral leadership. That has not been the case in this critical area, the education of our children, and you must not be allowed to drag this nation into an abyss of sexual depravity masquerading as tolerance.
Your sworn allegiance to Planned Parenthood and the abortion “rights” lobby is just the tip of the iceberg. It appears to me you are determined to usher in a modern era of Sodom and Gomorrah. You think I’m wildly exaggerating things here? Then prove it by publicly condemning the trash your czar wants all our children to read.
If you won’t, then I dare you to publicly defend the books that write explicitly about a group of young boys getting together to perform fellatio on each other. Defend the books that feature pictures of a man having anal sex with a boy under the caption stating how this transforms the boy into a man. Defend the books that are filled with kids asking each other if they want to f*** (yes, using that word). This isn’t being marketed to adults; it’s being peddled by coercion to our children.
No elegantly-delivered speech will save you this time. If you do not unequivocally condemn this outrageous trash and fire Jennings, then you are exactly the person I describe here and you’ll get no help from me in keeping your dirty little secret. We both know your political survival depends on parents not finding out what Jennings wants to force into our public school system.
The responsibility is yours. If you will not protect America’s kids from this kind of corruption, then you are unfit to lead this great nation, a nation founded on the truth of the authority and power of God. We do not derive our freedom from our own laws; we do not acquire our worth from our own definitions of human life, but from the God who created us out of love and for love.
You are sliding down a dark tunnel where God is denied, purity is destroyed and love no longer has meaning. You are free to take that terrible trip if you so choose, but don’t you dare take this country with you. I will not quietly oblige you in your efforts to erode the moral fabric of America and her children under some insane pretext of rights and equality.
If you need bedtime reading tonight, I recommend Isaiah 5:20: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”
And Romans 1:28 “Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity… they invent ways of doing evil…they are senseless, faithless, heartless and ruthless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.”
And Jeremiah 7:28: “This is the nation that has not obeyed the Lord its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips.”
There is no excuse, no justification for what you and Jennings are doing. Stop it immediately. I hold you responsible. Every American should hold you responsible. If I’m wrong, prove it.
As for everyone else, brace yourselves and go to:
Obama’s “Safe Schools Czar” Is Promoting Child Porn in the Classroom.
See for yourself what Kevin Jennings wants your children to read. Are you okay with this? Obama appointed him, so the buck stops with Obama. Will you remain silent?

Jennifer Hartline is a Catholic Army wife and stay-at-home mother of three precious kids who writes frequently on topics of Catholic faith and daily living. She is a contributing writer for Catholic Online.
Let’s hope Fox News (forget the rest of the them) picks up this story this week, and pummels Obama with it. This controversy has been brewing for months, going nowhere. When a majority of parents across this nation finally hear about this, I’d like to think the uproar that ensues will drown out the mewlings of the Purple Mafia. This Czar must go, and Obama must be held accountable for appointing him.
