One Small Step Backward for Man - One Giant Leap Backward for Mankind

Monday Morning News Bulletin – Nov. 30, 2009

By Hal Mitchell – PatriotsOnPurpose.com
What with all the anti-American goings on lately, punctuated by the “I love Islam” attitude of the Obama administration, I thought that my title for this News Bulletin was totally appropriate. The following stories will prove my point.

• This from Fox News - Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. Now three of the SEALs who captured him are facing criminal charges.


• Debbie Schlussel – A conservative political commentator and talk show host, has graphic photos of the hanging of the dead bodies of the Blackwater USA security guards and some great commentary in her article “Hey, Don’t Give Terrorist Murderers a Fat Lip”.


• Obama's granny gets free Haj trip from Saudi King - Sarah Obama, President Obama's 87-year-old Kenyan grandmother, has arrived in Mecca to perform the Muslim pilgrimage of hajj, the Saudi daily Okaz reported Wednesday. Sarah Obama, one of her grandchildren and 10 people from her village in Kenya made the pilgrimage at the invitation of Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, the newspaper reported. Apparently, Pres. Obama’s bowing to the Saudi King paid off. Source: American Thinker Blog.


• President Obama and his wife Michelle celebrate Eid al-Adna in the White House. The Muslim holiday (which took place on Nov. 27) celebrates Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismael to Allah. (Only problem here is the Jewish Abraham offered to sacrifice his son, Isaac, not Ishmael) This year, Eid al-Adna represents the high tide of the hajj - - the annual pilgrimage of Muslims to Mecca, a journey which must be made at least once in the lifetime of every Muslim believer. To proclaim his belief that America is no longer a Judeo-Christian nation, President Obama sent this official greeting to the Muslims in Mecca: “Michelle and I would like to send our best wishes to all those performing Hajj this year, and to Muslims in America and around the world who are celebrating Eid-ul-Adha. The rituals of Hajj and Eid-ul-Adha both serve as reminders of the shared Abrahamic roots of three of the world’s major religions”. Source: TheLastCrusade.org


• President Obama praises Islam and admits he is a Muslim – If this video doesn’t convince you then nothing will. The evidence is overwhelming and freedom loving Americans need to wake up and smell the Starbucks before it’s all over. Waiting until the 2012 elections may be too late. Our Congressmen need to be told in no uncertain terms that they must stop Obama’s “Giant Leap Backward” for America

Dumb and Dumber

Talking Points Newsletter – Nov. 23, 2009
By Hal Mitchell – Post from PatriotsOnPurpose.com

Obama and his politically correct crowd of Liberal/Marxist elites are on a par with the characters played by Jim Carey and Jeff Daniels in the 1994 movie Dumb and Dumber. He and his band of brothers are in office today only because of an un-informed electorate who voted him in because of his rock star appeal. How else can you explain the following scenario?

We all know that it was Muslim terrorists that killed some 3,500 innocent people in The Twin Trade Towers on 9/11/2001. Then, in recent days, one Muslim Army major at Fort Hood killed 13 American soldiers (Plus the unborn child of one soldier) and wounded some 29 or 30 others. Yet, knowing all this, this abominable group of elites still won’t call them terrorists. How dumb can you be? In addition, our self declared Muslim president requires that terrorists captured on the battlefield be read Miranda rights.

If all of the above is not enough, Obama and his flawed Attorney General, Eric Holder, plan on bringing the master mind of the 911 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (Now referred to as KSM) and a few of his fellow Muslim terrorists to NYC near Ground Zero to try them in US Federal Court, instead of by a Military Tribunal. This, of course, allows KSM to hire US lawyers and put America and, more specifically, I believe, The Bush Administration, on trial. This allows these terrorist killers to spew their evil propaganda around the world in their own native tongue by an eager and waiting liberal news media.

Another ignored point in the case of KSM is that he has already admitted his guilt and has asked to be executed, presumably, so he could receive his promised “72 virgins in paradise”. Why, then, was not his wishes granted thus saving the time and expense of a civilian trial and avoiding the distinct possibility of his being acquitted because of some legal technicality? Obama has already publicly called KSM guilty which, legally, taints the jury pool and could be grounds for dismissal of the case. Talk about dumb and dumber!

Can any rational person understand why our so called leaders would do this? Has their desire to give the Muslim religion (Pat Robertson correctly calls it a political ideology rather than a religion) politically correct status blinded them to what is good for our country, or is it because the President is a Muslim himself?

Maybe Obama and his political hacks are like the farmer who had a blind horse he wanted to sell. The farmer attempted to show his potential buyer how fast the horse could run, so he smacked the horse on the rump and he took off. However, the horse ran smack into a tree. The would-be buyer asked “Is that horse blind?” The farmer replied “Naw, he ain’t blind he just don’t give a damn”. It could be. Think about it.

Rush - Why Did a Muslim in Touch with Al-Qaeda Do It? We Know Why!
A week after Democrats stripped a "lone wolf" provision out of the Patriot Act.
“Why did he do it?” I couldn't believe I was hearing that all weekend. Why did a Muslim, in touch with Al-Qaeda, open fire on US military personnel? I tell you something, folks: Political correctness and a lot of other things will lead to our downfall. -Rush
The Best Piece Written on It Yet: Ralph Peters: Call It Islamist Terror!
Col. Ralph Peters (Army, Retired)
On Thursday afternoon, a radicalized Muslim US Army officer shouting "Allahu Akbar!" committed the worst act of terror on American soil since 9/11. And no one wants to call it an act of terror or associate it with Islam.
What cowards we are. Political correctness killed those patriotic Americans at Ft. Hood as surely as the Islamist gunman did. And the media treat it like a case of non-denominational shoplifting.
This was a terrorist act. When an extremist plans and executes a murderous plot against our unarmed soldiers to protest our efforts to counter Islamist fanatics, it’s an act of terror. Period.

FYI, reference Allahu Akbar – Allahu Akbar does not mean “God is great” as reported in the media. It means “Allah is great”. There is a difference between Allah and God. Allah is a false god and the other is the God of all creation, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Triune God, the Maker of Heaven and Earth and our Deliverer! Hallelujah!

House passes Healthcare Bill – by just 5 votes with only one lone Republican from Louisiana voting for it. His defense, when interviewed by Fox, was that there were a lot of poor people in his district who did not have health insurance. Lame excuse: Why didn’t he, as a concerned citizen and politician in LA, try to pass a local health insurance program like Arizona’s AHCCS instead of trashing the worlds’ best medical coverage that satisfies 85% of us? Answer: The liberal mind just doesn’t work that way.
Red State Morning Briefing reports that Robert Costa, a writer for NRO says there are 5 reasons why National Healthcare may not pass in the Senate:
1. Time. Costa does not say it, but Senator Coburn is threatening to have the bill read, front to back, all 2,000 pages, prior to each amendment. ObamaCare’s death by thousands of pages.
2. President Obama. Can you say toxic for moderate Dems running for re-election.
3. GOP Amendments - Guns rights and immigration
4. Abortion. (See entire internet on Stupak.)
5. The public option, the liberal’s Holy Grail. Sen. Lieberman will not vote for a Public Option.

The Massacre at Ft. Hood and the Dr. Phil Syndrome

By Hal Mitchell - PatriotsOnPurpose.com

Such a tragedy as the senseless slaughtering of 13 innocent people at Ft. Hood and the wounding of some 29 others deserves our country’s most serious investigation of how and why. However, one of the first spins coming out of the news media came from a telephone interview with the cousin of Killer Major Nadal Hasan. This interview came from, believe it or not, Fox TV by Shepard Smith. Lefty Smith allowed this obviously biased and questionable source to go on and on about how Killer Hasan was harassed by his co workers and how he was such a good American citizen. All this was aired just moments after the killing spree. I say, “BULL ROAR”!

Then the same day, our nation’s Sympathy Guru, Dr. I feel your pain, Phil had to put in his two cents worth. Click Dorothy Rabinowitz to read her article about Dr. Phil’s vacuous remarks, starting at the 5th paragraph. In this article he tried to make another feeble case for pitying the poor Major who by now was in a medically induced coma to save his narrow butt. Dr. Phil, you need to wake up and smell the coffee or have you already drunk too deeply from Obama’s spiked Kool-Aid? (My apologies to the Kool-Aid company)

Has America lost her sense of justice and reality? How could any ethnic group or religion have so much politically correct capital as the Muslim religion? Why do we Americans continue to give them a pass when it comes to morality? Had someone claiming to be Christian done this dastardly deed the media, and especially Dr. Phil, would have jumped on this issue like a chicken on a bug.

All the preliminary information clearly points to a Terrorist who had planned this killing for a long time and who was influenced by the teachings from the same Mosque where two of the 911 Terrorists attended. Witnesses have said that he shouted “Allahu Akbar” while spraying bullets at his victims. I must correct the media’s definition of “Allahu Akbar” at this point. It does not mean “God is great”. It means “Allah is great”. Get the difference? One is Allah and one is The God Most High!

Evidence now indicates that Hasan had been in touch recently with his former Imam who now is working for Al Quaeda in Yemen preaching and teaching terrorism against the US. Even Hasan’s pre killing spree antics such as paying $50 for a Lap Dance at some club the night before matches that of the 911 Terrorists.

“Hey, don’t rush to judgment” the Liberals will say. Maybe not, but let’s don’t start making excuses for this Killer either, just because he belongs to a PC protected religion. America must ditch the Dr. Phil Syndrome and get a reality check. We must abandon the PC protection of any one religion or race.

When it comes to crime, especially one as serious as the massacre at Ft. Hood, we must not let the fear of being called bigots keep us from administering justice. This tolerance of evil is a disgrace to our country and especially to the victims at Ft. Hood. The Killer needs to be tried in a military court and swift justice be meted out. If this case is not dealt with quickly and impartially we will see many more of these kinds of tragedies. America, return to your roots and the God of your fathers!

The Evolution of Health Care Insurance

By Hal Mitchell – PatriotsOnPurpose.com

Like all good things, health insurance has been taken for granted. However, it has not always been included in your benefits package where you work. Health insurance was available in the US as far back as the 1890’s but only really started to escalate late in the 20th century. In the early 1900’s railroad companies started providing some health insurance coverage for their workers but that was the exception rather than the rule.

As US companies grew and prospered they began to offer health insurance as an employee benefit to entice better workers and to be more competitive in the marketplace. In most cases the employee had to contribute a portion of the expense which he was glad to do since it was much cheaper than buying it individually. There was great savings with the insurance companies because of the large pool of risk that they could deal with.

Originally employers, and employees alike, considered health insurance to be a reward for people who had disciplined themselves to learning, getting college degrees, or otherwise preparing themselves to qualify for better than average employment with a company that provided these and other benefits such as retirement plans, as well as better than average wages.

Health insurance is an invention of Capitalism and Free Enterprise where people are rewarded for achievement and hard work. It is not an entitlement for the lazy or for those who, for whatever reason, have not acquired the necessary training or skills to qualify for jobs with companies where it is available.

Our founding fathers, in the Declaration of Independence, declared that “we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights (certain, but not all rights) that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. (pursuit of but not a guarantee of happiness)

It is clear that our founding fathers did not believe that God guaranteed all rights such as the right or entitlement to health insurance. It is also clear that our founders believed that God requires that man must have an incentive to work and to achieve rather than to stand around with his hand out looking for something for which he did not contribute. In fact, the Word of God says that “If a man would not work neither shall he eat” (2 Thes. 3:10) Eating is much more basic than health insurance and God does not guarantee even that.

It’s not that God is heartless and uncaring. To the contrary, God is love and He made provision through charitable giving and special programs for those who can’t afford health care to be taken care of, not to mention His own divine healing provision. It is therefore utterly foolish and uneconomical to trash the most advanced health care system in the world which is available to 85% of the populace in order to satisfy the demand of the 10 to 15% of those for whom it is not.

So where did our citizenry get the notion that they are entitled to health insurance that somebody else has to pay for? They got it from Liberalism and Socialistic thinking by politicians who have figured out that if they gave enough freebies to enough people they could get elected over and over. However, Liberalism and Socialism steals from the diligent, kills the incentive of productive people, and ruins our economy at the same time. They also “kill the goose that laid the golden egg”.
