How Obama got elected

Many people have asked how in the world Obama got elected. My response was based on the candidates and their views. I am sure that their ages and their looks made a huge difference. No matter how you explain it, we are a society that is obsessed with Hollywood. We want our celebrities to be good looking and young. Our presidential elections are based on the same desire that our leader is young, vibrant and attractive. To me, this played as large a role into Obama getting elected as did his speaking ability.

I may have been wrong, it may come down to something even more simple.

A good friend that I have not heard from in many years sent me an e-mail explaining Obama’s election in a very simple way.
I hope you enjoy this exercise into a sad reality.

THE COW AND THE ICE CREAM ONE OF THE BEST EXPLANATIONS
OF WHY OBAMA WON THE ELECTION

From a teacher in the Nashville area "We are worried about "the cow" when it is all about the "Ice Cream";

The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this year.The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president .
We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote. To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members. We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have. We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot. The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids. I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support.
I had never seen Olivia's mother.

The day arrived when they were to make their speeches. Jamie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best. Everyone applauded and he sat down.

Now it was Olivia's turn to speak.

Her speech was concise.
She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." She sat down.
The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream."

She surely would say more. She did not have to. A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure. Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it. She didn't know. The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream.

Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a landslide.

Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and 52 percent of the people reacted like nine year olds. They want ice cream. The other 48 percent know they're going to have to feed this cash cow and clean up the mess.

Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone ---
that they have not first taken away from someone else.

Obamas White House or Muslim house

Our President is a disgrace to this country.

In 1952 President Truman established one day a year as a National Day of Prayer.

In 1988, President Reagan designated the first Thursday in May of each year as the National Day of Prayer.

This year, President Obama, decided to cancel the ceremony at the White House… not wanting to offend anyone.

In June 2007, Presidential candidate Barack Obama declares the USA no longer a Christian nation.

On September 25, 2009 a National Day of Prayer for the Muslim religion was be held on Capitol Hill, beside the White House.
Dr. Ahmad Dwidar is imam of the Islamic Center in New York, Dwidar: One cleric said in his sermon: “We are going to the White House, so that Islam will be victorious, Allah willing, and the White House will become into the Muslim house.”

Whether you did or didn’t vote for the man, as Christians and Americans, I would hope that this would stir your spirit and enlighten you to the Obama agenda.

You do know that if you want to pray to God in public you can't because, well, it may offend someone like an atheist or a Muslim.

Which do you believe our President is?

Obama did celebrate Ramadan in the White House this year.

Me personally, I'll continue to pray & worship God wherever & whenever I please.

Do you ever really wonder where the REAL direction of this country is headed.

Obama stated in his inaugural address that atheists and Muslims are to be honored as well as Christians.

What do you think the REAL agenda of the President is?

Is it becoming more plain?

The evidence is there.

It's your decision.

I will worship and love God and do it with great pride and passion. (The Mad American)

"The Lord is the strength of my life..." Psalm 27:1b

Impeach Obama!

Get him out of office, throw the anti American out!

I have had it with this whole administration. It was a mistake based on the options the American people had at the time. Americans may have voted for change but they had no idea that change would mean the down fall of the United States of America and that is the change that Obama is seeking.

You only have to listen to his words to the UN, he hates America and cannot stop apologizing to Europe for all the ills that America has caused them. (We ruined the world economy, We ruined the environment, We caused global warming, We started racism, We are a selfish nation and We need to learn how to get along with others)

If Obama wants to run a campaign to be the world leader then let him resign here in the US and move!

The United nations speech he gave was the last straw. Americans cannot work with a man that has the views Obama does. Everything he is pushing for is against all that made America Great. He is pandering to Europe at the expense of our nation!

People are waking up. In Pittsburgh Obama was met with Mad Americans! As protesters took to the street.

A mile from the convention center where more talks will be held today, police fired canisters of pepper spray and smoke at marchers protesting the summit after the protesters responded to calls to disperse by rolling trash bins and throwing rocks. The biggest clashes between police and demonstrators occurred at just about the time President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama arrived. The protesters banged on drums and chanted “Ain’t no power like the power of the people, ’cause the power of the people don’t stop.”

At the G-20, countries had reached a consensus on the “basic outline” of a proposal to limit bankers’ compensation by the end of this year. Geithner said it would involve setting separate standards in each of the countries and would be overseen by an international group of central bankers and regulators. So, Obama will now promote setting international limits on American income and submit this to the control of an international mob. Geithner predicted the proposed crackdown on bankers’ bonuses would be in place by the end of the year.

Analysts suggested that Obama got points at this meeting, just for not being George W. Bush, who was widely disliked overseas, especially in European countries.

Why is that? If they love Obama, let them have him! We need to be concerned about the United States of America and not what those European countries (that Americans left) think.

If you listened to Obama the last couple of days, you have to agree…He is not an American President. He is an imposter, his goal is not to uplift the USA, but to bring her down to a level where the other world nations and people will not envy her.

At the G-20 meeting Obama called for a total nuclear disarmament. Obama would take away the strength of the US, the strength that has kept us from a world war. To have Obama making such a speech while enemy nations like Iran refuses to halt uranium enrichment,the same enrichment processes can produce both nuclear fuel and material for warheads. Venezuela's president has announced the creation of an atomic energy commission and plans to lead the South American nation into the nuclear era. Hugo Chavez said his government would catch up other nations who possess nuclear power.
Chavez said: "I say it before the world: Venezuela is going to start the process of developing nuclear energy.
"But we're not going to make an atomic bomb, so don't be bothering us afterward ...

Fidel Castro called Obama the greatest American president……Hugo Chavez called him a friend and Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi called Obama a son.

Is Obama an “America President”?

Is Obama the Supreme Ruler?

I promise you will find it informative, interesting and engaging on many topics. Anyway that is what they said at http://www.everythingwestern.net/ before I was asked to move because I was taking up so much room.

This new club will continue to provide information and yet will focus mostly on the ranting and ravings of a Mad American.

Your replies to the topics and your comments are greatly appreciated. I also want to thank all my friends for their e-mails an insight into politics.

Will the weakness of the Obama administration lead US into a world war?

Obama views are stark contrast to Ronald Regan’s strength. History has proven Regan’s policies to be correct and yet Obama is doing just the opposite of a proven result. Ronald Regan gave us the longest peace time prosperity we have known and below are just some of his known views;

'Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.'
'Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.'

'No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.'

'If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.'

Today we have the policy of Barack Hussein Obama. This policy of weakness is based on his attitude of appeasement toward the enemy’s of this country and will lead us into a new war.

We see it in the report from the General in Afghanistan where he said he needs more support or the mission will be doomed for failure and our brave men and women in uniform will have sacrificed their lives in vain.

Mr. Obama does not follow the advice of his own appointee but instead is dooming the US for failure.

We see Obama’s lack of back bone in how he address our enemy’s and deals with confrontations.

We see it in the attitude and total distain that the Iran president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has for the USA and Israel. This man has openly denied that the holocaust ever happened. This is the same man that Obama congratulated and wants to be friends with. (Ahmadinejad told an anti-Israel rally in Tehran that the Holocaust was "a false pretext to create Israel" and said confronting the regime is a "national and religious duty.")

Obama is silent … he does not want to upset his Muslim friends.

His lack of response is to deny history and empower a crazy man that wants to kill us all!

Obama has closed Guantanamo and released prisoners, whose goals are to destroy the USA. Obama did this to please the Muslim nations without regards to our own safety and best interest.

Obama released memos about CIA methods of extracting information from enemy prisoners. This decision has been sharply criticized by several former intelligence leaders, including former CIA director Michael V. Hayden, who said the revelations could undermine future U.S. intelligence operations. Obama, however, in his 10-minute speech to CIA employees, cited "exceptional circumstances" that led to his decision to make them public. You know what those circumstances are? HE HAS NO BACK BONE! That is why!

Now your President Obama made clear he has no plans to overrule Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to open an investigation into whether CIA agents under the Bush administration crossed the legal line while interrogating terror suspects. Obama gave Holder leeway to investigate even after seven former CIA directors wrote Obama a letter urging him to stop the probe.

Are you starting to get the picture here?

Obama apologizes (in his would tour) for all that the United States stands for. Promises to work with and promote relations with enemy’s of the US and refuses any advice from people that have experience.

Yes, experience, something Obama does not have, unless you consider working in a soup kitchen as foreign policy or military experience.

Understand this; Russia, China and North Korea continue to build up their military programs. Iran and Pakistan continue to develop their nuclear programs, as the USA under the guidance of Obama, continues to dismantle our own defense systems.

Is Obama attempting to put the USA in a submissive position so that we have no choice anymore but to except his views and his new world order?

Obama continues to destroy America from within.

He has interfered with the free market system of the United States by buying GM and then firing it’s CEO and installing his man that has no back ground in the auto industry. Then your President steals 2 billion more dollars from the tax payers for a cash for clunkers program that uses more government money to increase sales of the auto maker he just bought. Now there is a business man! Or…as history would indicate, this is a push towards socialism.

That is hard to argue when his full focus now is on the government taking full control of the health care system.

Obama has shifted U.S. policy on climate change.

Obama is unlikely to see a global climate-change agreement materialize at the summit in Copenhagen later this year. Yet, he continues to give away our rights, our freedom and our safety for what end?

I understand that I was all over the place today but I want you to think about this question;

Is Obama really going to push for a one world government?

He sure is weakening the USA...bringing us down to a more level playing field internationally and setting himself up to be loved by all as the supreme ruler!

3 Keys to Healing Parental Alienation

When children go away to college and get away from "who and what" the controlling family members want them to be, a window opens up. What they discover is their essence. Now here's the gem...

That essence is a composite of their formative years. If you were in their lives during this time, good chance you can slip back in and they can be in yours.

3 Keys to Healing Parental Alienation

There are some key things you will want to do and things you'll be best avoiding in order to rekindle your relationship with your children if you are an estranged parent.

1) Focus on what you have, and what you had, with them; not what you don't have or what you missed. To help you maintain this focus, find points of shared sweet sentiment and build out from here.

2) Trust that they don't need to understand all the elements surrounding your absence to feel their love for you and yours for them. It is already there. Always know these so-called "elements" of your story must be digested as they can be assimilated...and not a moment before.

3) Don't expect them to give you back what you lost. They can't. They don't hold what you lost, as they lost it too.

Forgive yourself and forgive your children.

It will be OK

Live your life, be happy, have fun, remember the good times and look forward to more...in the years to come.

May God Bless You

Dirty Tricks Used In Child Custody Battles

Parental alienation is a very real and severe problem in America. I have posted much information on this subject in the April Blogs and many discussion topics are available on the forum at www.everythingwestern.net

Many family’s are involved with alienation of a child or children against another parent, sometimes without considering the impact of their words and other times with a vile and evil intent at destroying a relation with the other parent.

The following list probably provides those, in the know, with very little new information. However, if you’re not experienced or knowledgeable about what goes on in high-conflict divorces and child custody cases, you may want to familiarize yourself with what is potentially to come. Take a look:

Clean out the bank account or safety deposit box.
Run-up the account balances on credit cards.
Steal or sell the furniture and keep the cash.
Engage in varying degrees of parental alienation and/or otherwise speaking poorly of you to the children or in front of the children to others.
Share with the children intimate details of the divorce and/or custody proceedings.
Leave with the kids unannounced, with no forwarding address or way to get in contact with the children.
Use financial issues to gain leverage with custody or child-related matters.
File a petition and/or restraining order to get you kicked out of your own home and restricted from even coming onto the property at any time.
Spread nasty rumors and speak poorly about you in front of mutual friends to try to divide loyalties.
Move out of state and take your child, claiming that it is in the “best interest of the child.”
Withhold or interfere with your visitation rights (custodial interference).
File motions and use delay tactics to tie you up in court and drain your finances. (Win the case through financial attrition.)
Falsely claim physical or sexual abuse against them.
Falsely claim physical or sexual abuse towards your children.
Get a restraining order against you based on false allegations.
Force you to move out of the house through harassment and coercion, and then petition the court claiming you have “abandoned the family.”
Claim that child support was not received on time or at all.
Involve family members, friends, or others in malicious actions against you.
Deny, restrict, or interfere with telephone access to the children.
Interfere with your participating in your child’s school and other recreational activities.
Use your mutual or, unsuspecting “friends” to get inside information to use against you in court or even turn them into unwitting spies. Worse - engaging the children to be spies for them.
Withhold important information about your child’s health or well-being. They may even tell stories to professionals that would give them “reason” to preclude sharing the same.

The list above is not all-inclusive, but are some of the most common. These tactics are used with alarming frequency and effectiveness to frustrate, outmaneuver, obtain a legal upper-hand, and wear the target parent down and out.

These tactics can be learned through friends, books that are written specifically for this purpose (by those who were more than likely successful employing such tactics, and unsurprisingly, by attorneys.

Sadly, it is becoming more commonplace for some unscrupulous attorneys to recommend one or more of these tactics to their clients because it gives them a decided advantage and almost guaranteed victory in court.
For instance, if your ex-partner can convince the courts that you have physically abused her and/or your child, she gains a tremendous advantage over you in all further proceedings. The father will be known as a “violent offender,” a person for whom judges have limitless disdain, and they will not hesitate to grant false accuser whatever they want.

Unfortunately, even when you’re successful in turning away these charges and win, perception is still reality in some circles. It becomes reality to some and it’s a stain on you that is hard to get out. It is imperative that you are the one to remain the calm, rational person with your ex-partner. The less you do to provoke the high-conflict ex-partner, the better off you will be in the long run. You never want to be responsible for a situation getting out of control as they will be the foundation for much heartache in family court

Government Efficiency, Health Care and Dam Removal

The Mad American at http://www.everythingwestern.net/
Example of government efficiency in layman terms, then Obama attacks the Northwest with Dam removal.

Now please understand this correctly…
A vehicle at 15 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 800 gallons a year of gasoline.
A vehicle at 25 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 480 gallons a year.
So, the average "Cash for Clunkers" transaction will reduce US gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year.
They claim 700,000 vehicles – so that's 224 million gallons / year.
That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil. 5 million barrels of oil is about ¼ of one day's US consumption. And, 5 million barrels of oil costs about $350 million dollars at $70/bbl.
So, we all contributed to spending $3 billion to save $350 million.
How good a deal was that ???

They'll probably do a better job with health care though Huh !!

Now after we see the logic of this administrations thinking…The letter below from Congressman Hastings about Dam removal should be no shock to anyone.

Obama Administration Opens Door to Snake River Dam Removal
The Obama Administration's Columbia River salmon recovery biological opinion (BiOp) plan was released today.
Congressman Doc Hastings - an outspoken defender of the Northwest's clean, renewable hydropower dams - says the Administration has delivered just what dam removal extremists have been demanding.
Congressman Hastings serves as the top Republican on the House Natural Resources Committee, which has jurisdiction over both endangered fish recovery and federal hydropower dams.
"The Obama Administration has put dam removal back on the table and delivered just what dam removal extremists have been demanding. No one should be fooled by talk of dam removal as a last resort when the Obama Administration is immediately launching studies and plans for such action.
"The extremists who brought this lawsuit may be critical about this plan because dam removal wasn't delivered on a silver platter with promises of wrecking balls arriving next week, but they got what they wanted from the Obama Administration and they'll try and convince Judge Redden to give them even more.
"For the past many months, I've restrained my public comments on the Obama Administration's review of the salmon recovery plan for the Columbia River due to the hope they'd recognize the terrible economic toll that dam removal would have on the Northwest in the form of higher energy prices and thousands of lost jobs, and all for an extreme action that science hasn't shown would lead to fish recovery.
"I warned the Obama Administration that opening the door to dam removal even just a crack would incite dam removal extremists to keep fighting and divert time, attention and resources away from real solutions to recover salmon.
"It was only after dam removal was taken off the table by the prior Administration that the region experienced an unprecedented level of collaboration and broad agreement on a fish recovery plan that is grounded in science and not politics.
"The Obama Administration's resurrection of dam removal has likely doomed the Northwest to years and years of fighting off attacks on our dams.
"It is such a sad, terrible waste that this battle is being reignited, but let there be no doubt that we'll fight to save our dams in every way we can. These dams are here to stay."

Well said by a man that knows.

What we can count on is the extremists getting empowered again, attorneys getting rich again and that tax payer getting shafted…again!

The Ant and the Grasshopper in 2009

OK, it's Monday...we need a little break.
How the ant and grasshopper story can be influenced by our government.

Two Different Versions! ................. Two Different Morals!

OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself

MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'
Acorn stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, 'We shall overcome.'
Rev. Jeremiah Wright then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.
Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ants food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2010.

Obama promotes fatherless house holds to school kids!

To get the Mad Americans view on today’s issues, you must visit the blog at; http://www.everythingwestern.net/

Here is what President Barack Obama recently told 9th grade students during a discussion at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Va.

STUDENT: Hi, my name is Brandon. I was wondering, you said that your father wasn't really in your life. That's kind of like me, my parents were divorced. But how do you think your life would have been different if he would have been there for you? Like, if -- how would your education have been and would you still be President?

THE PRESIDENT: It's an interesting question. You know, you never know exactly how your life would turn out if there was a change in circumstances as big as your dad being around. I think that -- I actually wrote a book about this, called "Dreams For My Father," where I tried to figure out what was he like, who was he. He was a very, very smart man, (but he was sort of arrogant and kind of overbearing, and he had his own problems and his own issues).

This is so very typical of parental alienation! Obama’s daddy left when he was only 2 years old and yet as any politician would answer, he says he was a very, very smart man. Why is this? Why does he think this? Was he smart because he left his wife and young son? Political, a per political comment by Obama without any support for his view...typical of him!

So (my mother always used to say) that if he had been around, I probably would have been having a lot of arguments with him all the time.

Again, his mother tell her young son that if his father would have been around, they would have argued all the time. That is parental alienation! Shame on his mother for saying this and shame on our President for believing what was feed to him. You would think that maybe Obama would have tried to find out 1st hand about his father. The pursuit of truth is not high on our Presidents agenda, never was and sure is not now!

I think that I was lucky, though, that my mother always -- she never spoke badly about him, which I think since I was a boy, knowing that even if your dad wasn't around, that you still were hearing good things about him I think probably improved my own self-confidence.

Did you hear his words? Does the double talk escape everyone? Within seconds he says his mother told him that he would argue all the time with his father if he had been around. She instilled in him that his father was over bearing, had problems and issues of his own. Yet true to form, he defends his mother by saying that “she never spoke badly about him”. Is our President a fool or an incent victim of his mothers parental alienation agenda?

When I look back on my life, I think that -- Michelle's dad was around, and Arne I think knew him. Just a great guy. Wonderful, wonderful man. And he actually had multiple sclerosis, so he had to walk with canes, but went to every basketball game that my brother-in-law played in, was there for every dance recital Michelle was in, was just a great family man. And when I look at her dad, I say to myself, boy, that would be nice to have somebody like that that you could count on who was always there for you.

So unlike his own father... but still, he longed for that type of relationship.

On the other hand, I think that not having a dad in some ways forced me to grow up faster. It meant that I made more mistakes because I didn't have somebody to tell me, here's how you do this or here's how you do that. But on the other hand, I had to, I think, raise myself a little bit more. I had to be more supportive of my mother because I knew how hard she was working. And so, in some ways, maybe it made me stronger over time, just like it may be making you stronger over time.

Great, now Obama is supporting single parenthood. He is telling a whole class room of children that not having a father made him stronger. He is condoning and even suggesting that young men being raised by a single mother makes them stronger. This is the total opposite view of the facts! Even within our own Government all the studies show that kids and especially young men do much better in life with a father in their lives. Indeed, without a father role model that enforces rules of conduct within the house and uses discipline and strict consequences for bad behavior, children will soon be parenting themselves and that is a recipe for disaster. Obama needs to read his Bible. The Bible explains without a doubt the role and benefits of a father and abiding by his rules. The Bible also has a very interesting story about a mother and parental alienation see Genesis chapter 27. Perhaps the church Obama attended for 20 years never touched on that (father) topic?

There are many issues confronting our nation, but none more important than our base/God fearing religion and how we raise our children.
Ask yourself, how were you raised, how much has that changed in 25-40 years and is it better now?

Young and have kids? How do you want them to grow up?

Please look at old blogs (April) on this website about parental alienation. This is a huge problem in this nation (divorce rate of 50% and 62% for second marriage) and if left unchecked, unchallenged…will be the down fall of this nation.

OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE

America, Canada, all Europe ..... needs a President like this.

I applaud Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and his view;.

Australia Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

Separately, He angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.

Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'

'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, Learn the Language!'

'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'

'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.' 'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

''If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'

Can you imagine an American president speaking the same views?

I'm waiting for the day when the majority of American citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.

Pledge of Allegiance to Obama

Check the blog at; www.everythingwestern.net everyday!
Today Obama and the far left radicals have attacked our children with their one world order agenda and are opening promoting Obama as a leader to bow down before.

Seig Heil to Obama.

A parent in the Clark County School District of Las Vegas, Henderson area reported today that his son, who is in 1st grade, came home yesterday saying that he didn’t want to go back to school anymore.

When asked why, the boy said that during the Pledge of Allegiance the teacher put up a large image of Obama next to the flag.

Thinking that the boy might be exaggerating, the man asked his son if he was sure, and suggested that by “large” he might mean an 8×10 photo of the president. The boy apparently said “No, it is a large picture of Obama and when we are done, the teacher turns off the image.”

The same thing was not done for President Bush last year.

After investigating this morning, the other parent reported that what the boy said was true.

At least three of the five classrooms have an overhead projector and as the children stand to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, the teacher turns on the classroom overhead and a full body image of Obama, with six U.S. flags behind him, comes up about 4 feet away from the flag that hangs on the wall. The screen is apparently around five feet by six feet.

In the image, President Obama appears to be staring straight out with no facial expression, just a serious look. All of the kids in each class faced the President, instead of the flag that hangs in the corner.

Local parents are up in arms over this situation. Teachers clearly do not realize the gravity of what they are doing.

This is insane. This is messiah worship of the highest order. Oprahwood and the Hollywierd Leftists have constructed a stupid 4 minute worship service of Obama as they PLEDGE themselves to him and his new agenda.

Truly sickening that America has fallen to such Nazi-like idolization of a would-be fuhrer.

In a new YouTube video produced by Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions, dozens of celebrities – television and movie actors, sports heroes, musicians and more – describe how they will pledge to “be the change” and “be a servant to our president.”

The video opens with a quote from President Truman, “They say that the job of the president is the loneliest job in the world,” something the celebrities plan to alleviate for Obama by pledging to pitch in through several causes.

Throughout the video, the celebrities pledge to support local food banks, to smile more, to be better parents, to work with the charity UNICEF, to “never give anyone the finger when I’m driving again,” to help find a cure for Alzheimer’s, to meet neighbors, to use less plastic, to plant 500 trees, to “be more green,” to turn the lights off and to “free 1 million people from slavery in the next five years,” among dozens of other pledges.

The purpose of all this pledging is summed up in the video’s grand finale.

Actors Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher begin the closing scene by saying, “I pledge to be a servant to our president and all mankind.”

Then, as the scene pans out, the other celebrities joint the chant: “Because together we can, together we are, and together we will be the change that we seek.”

By the end of the mass pledge, the camera has panned back to a mosaic of faces that morphs into a picture of Barack Obama’s face with the words, “Be the change.”

Change? Yes Sir! I’m hoping and praying for big change, with every election on every level until we get our government back and put out the fires of socialism that is now being promoted.

Court destroys families for profit

Stay informed on many issues at the Mad America Blog on http://www.everythingwestern.net/

Any attorney will tell you that custody and child support are two different issues that should not be considered together. The truth is far different, however.

As we all know, child support is based on income and how much time the children spend with each parent. In most states, support is determine based on the share income model, whereby all income is pooled and then split, with support being paid to the parent who has the most custody time and/or lesser income. The closer each parent has to equal time, the less child support is due. So how does this affect the shared parenting movement and fathers gaining more custody?

First, we have to understand a few realities. Child support is determined by judges that are supposed to follow state guidelines. Judges and all of the support staff that prepare support orders and enact collection procedures are paid by the state. The state is funded by Federal grants that are determined by these 5 things:

(A) The paternity establishment performance level.
B) The support order performance level.
(C) The current payment performance level.
(D) The arrearage payment performance level.
(E) The cost–effectiveness performance level.

Let’s take these one at a time and discuss how they impact share parenting and other custody arrangements.

(A) Paternity establishment.—

(i) Determination of paternity establishment performance level.—
The paternity establishment performance level for a State for a fiscal year is, at the option of the State, the IV-D paternity establishment percentage determined under section 452(g)(2)(A) or the statewide paternity establishment percentage determined under section 452(g)(2)(B).

Now, remember that custody and child support are handled separately in court. So, this section of the code is encouraging states to find fathers and determine paternity. Why? So they can collect child support, with nothing in the code to encourage that the newly identified father receive custody or even visitation from a woman who may not have even told them she was pregnant.

Further why is there no code for vigilantly enforcing child support orders against mothers? There are plenty of single fathers not receiving child support, yet you’ll not soon see stories about deadbeat mothers (despite the reality that mothers who are ordered to pay child support default in whole or in part at a percentage much higher than fathers).

(B) Establishment of child support orders.—

(i) Determination of support order performance level.—The support order performance level for a State for a fiscal year is the percentage of the total number of cases under the State plan approved under this part in which there is a support order during the fiscal year.

Did you read that?The more cases in which child support is ordered, the more money the state receives. It’s in the states’ best interests, and the best interests of the workers of the state (the ones that are judging and deciding how much custody you get) to keep one parent out of the picture in order to maximize the number of child support dollars.

(C) Collections on current child support due.—

(i) Determination of current payment performance level.—The current payment performance level for a State for a fiscal year is equal to the total amount of current support collected during the fiscal year under the State plan approved under this part divided by the total amount of current support owed during the fiscal year in all cases under the State plan, expressed as a percentage.

So, now that the state has forced a child support order, rather than making sure the children have equal access to both parents, the state has only assured that they are going to benefit by how much child support they actually collect. Is there anyone who doesn’t already know that children with two parents in their lives fair better than those raised by mothers alone?

This is the reason fathers, in the overwhelming majority of cases, go to jail for failure to pay child support. Meanwhile, nothing happens to mothers who withhold or deny visitation because the court has no financial incentive to hold mothers to custody agreements/orders.

(D) Collections on child support arrearages.—

(i) Determination of arrearage payment performance level.—The arrearage payment performance level for a State for a fiscal year is equal to the total number of cases under the State plan approved under this part in which payments of past–due child support were received during the fiscal year and part or all of the payments were distributed to the family to whom the past–due child support was owed (or, if all past–due child support owed to the family was, at the time of receipt, subject to an assignment to the State, part or all of the payments were retained by the State) divided by the total number of cases under the State plan in which there is past–due child support, expressed as a percentage.

As we’ve seen in many recent child support cases, arrearages are being assessed by recalculating back support orders, or even awarding attorneys fees, even when involved in contempt issues which are completely separate from support orders. The arrearages then count towards additional financial incentives the states receive. It’s in their best interests to stick non-custodial parents with as many fees as possible, rolling them into “child support orders,” in order to have the largest arrearages possible.

(E) Cost–effectiveness.—

(i) Determination of cost-effectiveness performance level.—The cost-effectiveness performance level for a State for a fiscal year is equal to the total amount collected during the fiscal year under the State plan approved under this part divided by the total amount expended during the fiscal year under the State plan, expressed as a ratio.
and

(c) Treatment of Interstate Collections.—In computing incentive payments under this section, support which is collected by a State at the request of another State shall be treated as having been collected in full by both States, and any amounts expended by a State in carrying out a special project assisted under section 455(e) shall be excluded.

While this sort of makes sense from a fiscal perspective, the results of the procedures that are put into place have a far-reaching effect on non-custodial parents and even businesses. For instance, numerous states are now switching to mandatory employment withholding instead of only enforcing this with NCP’s that are behind on child support. In one state where we have clients, this has created a nightmare with small businesses. Each month the state creates a monthly CS bill that is due, even though the actual CS is taken out partially from each paycheck. This creates an artificial “arrearage” on paper even though the NCP isn’t actually behind on child support payments. The employer has to do additional paperwork to process the arrearage. At the end of the month, when the payor is caught up, the business receives another automatic modification notice removing the extra payment for the arrearage. At the beginning of the next month, the client’s child support account is charged for the forthcoming month’s child support. This means they are “behind” and the cycle starts all over again for HR managers across the state.

The second portion of this code affects of lot NCP’s who have moved for work or even to follow the custodial parent after they moved-away with the children. Courts will not relinquish custody cases to new states or counties without a huge fight, because then they will not be able to collect all of those child support related monetary incentives. Of course, the new state wants that money, so they decided to just count it for both states which gives your new state incentive to jail NCP’s and enforce other harshly punitive measures against the child support payor for failure to pay child support.

Is it any wonder why shared parenting is not the norm in the U.S. despite the fact that everyone knows children having both parents in their lives is the best situation possible when it’s logistically feasible and there are no provable issues related to one (or both) parents in terms of their parental fitness? If states pass and enforce shared parenting laws, they stand to lose millions of dollars. Nationwide it is more than a $4-BILLION INDUSTRY! Yes, it’s an industry.

In 2008, the child support incentive fund was $483,000,000 and the fund paid for 66% of state workers compensation. If states lost this money, 66% of the money funding those benefits would vanish. The people who administer those programs would likely start losing jobs without that funding. Does anyone really believe that those individuals would vote in favor of other people’s children, when their own livelihoods depend on the income stream that results from these orders?

States earn money by taking one parent out of their children’s lives. It’s time to gather, organize, and help make the plans necessary to change this madness that not only hurts individual families and children - it hurts society at-large.

The 1st and only Obama

DID YOU HEAR HIS RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM HIS DECISION TO LET THE MILITARY PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES.

THIS GUY IS THE DEMANDER AND THEIF

Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540 million annual cost to the federal government of treatment for injuries to military personnel received during their tours on active duty. The President admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal.

"Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained. "Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn't compute.." "I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country, "Obama continued. "I wasn't asking for blood, just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation's deficit. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans."

How in the world did a person with this mind set become our leader? I didn't vote for him, Shame on you who did! YOU need to fix your One Big Ass Mistake America in the next election. (if he lets us have one)

REMEMBER THIS STATEMENT... "Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice?

If you a friend or a family member is or has served their country please pass this to them and ask them how they feel about Obama’s attack on them.

You have to agree that this is just another example why Obama is the worst president in American history on the one thing that he has to be the best, Defending America and OUR people.! Remind everyone over and over how this man thinks! As he bows to the Saudi Arabian king.
