Personal commentary on current events with an emphasis on politics and religion. Laws, policy and personal injustice that endanger our lives and our liberty.
I think the organization sweetscam.com is a scam. I wonder if they are also funded by the beverage industry like many of the studies they use as evidence. The Mayo Clinic who I trust a little more than some group who pops up overnight, says the science is not clear. It warns of the danger of HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) and overusing all sweeteners in general. It's true that studies have shown fructose does not stimulate insulin secretion or require insulin to be transported into cells, as do other carbohydrates. Insulin also controls another hormone, leptin, so its release is necessary.
Leptin tells your body to stop eating when it’s full by signaling the brain to stop sending hunger signals. Since fructose doesn’t stimulate glucose levels and insulin release, there’s no increase in leptin levels or natural feeling of being full. This can leave you ripe for unhealthy weight gain. Fructose requires a different metabolic pathway than other carbohydrates because it basically skips glycolysis (normal carbohydrate metabolism). Because of this, fructose is an unregulated source of “acetyl CoA,” or the starting material for fatty acid synthesis. This, coupled with unstimulated leptin levels, is like opening the flood gates of fat deposition.
This means the T.V. Commercial has a flat out lie in it. Your body does process HFCS differently than it processes Sugar.
I for one will continue to look for products that do not contain HFCS.
This meeting was Held at the UofI in Champaign, IL. My wife and her parents went for ice cream Friday night to find these posted up and down the street on all the light poles.
Did you see all the racists in Pittsburgh protesting the G20? That is all about a black man as President of United States, straight up. Those folks threw rocks and used rolling dumpsters as block aides. Law enforcement had to use tear gas and batons, while in full riot gear. At least 66 arrests were made.
Now as a comparison the 9-12 March on Washington was attended by at least tens or thousands if not a million people. Not single rock was thrown and not one single arrest was made. If I were black I'd rather deal with the 9-12 variety of racists instead of the G20 protest racists.
What is clear, is that whenever people rise up against the government it must be racism. I'm sure Jimmy Carter will make a speech any time now and Bill Clinton will back him on it. We as Americans need to stamp out this form of racism once and for all.
I don't have enough time to post my thoughts on every single issue that makes me go WOW! so instead I'm going to begin WOW posts, to summarize some of my thoughts over a period of time. This is the beginning of my WOW reviews.
Where do I begin, it seems every time I watch or listen to some news these days I can't help but just think, WOW, what is happening to America? Health care is either in the bag or has no chance or passing? Our Commitment to protect Poland, the Czech Republic and some of the surrounding countries is now a dead deal, or mostly dead. We'll give them some vague assurances that our Ships will stay in the area and we might give them an antique missile system that we know is useless against Russian missiles, but it's gesture. Then there is the unknown threat of Iran. And this is the most we can do for them, because Obama thinks he can get Russia and others to reduce or discontinue their nuclear arsenal. All I have to say about this is good luck. If Obama gets that done, I'll hang a huge Obama HOPE poster in my office.
Then we have the Health Care debate, or the lack there of if the Left gets it's way. Humana actually sent information warning it's customers of Possible Medicare Changes that could come from a Universal Plan. The Senators for reform take immediate action against Humana by have having the Department of Human Services send ORDERS, not a request ORDERS to end all similar programs and to remove any related material from their website. Not just Humana but all participating Medicare companies. Fascism anyone???
Then as if the Gag Order is not bad enough, the Senate Committee working on a Health Care plan actually is having to debate whether or not they should post it for the public to see. YES they are actually trying to get the bill out of committee with out allowing the American People to see it. The Senate Finance Committee debated for two hours today on an amendment which failed to pass that would have required the legislative language of the committees final bill, along with a cost estimate for the bill, to be posted online for 72 hours before the committee voted on it.
Instead, they passed a similar amendment to post online the "conceptual" or "plain" language of the bill along with the cost estimate. So they choose to dumb it down for us cus you no us folks dun know much bout thems fancy words and junk.
Sen. Olympia Snowe the Republican most likely to favor the bill, said the amendment represented a "practical, pragmatic good government approach" to legislating. "We should not be afraid of having a better and complete understanding of what we are all doing," she said. "The fact is, words matter, and so do the numbers."
Jim Bunning (R-Ky.), who introduced the amendment. "The devil is in the details. The way legislative language is written could have a large impact."
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) said the amendment was "fundamentally a delay tactic" for a piece of legislation that must progress quickly at this point, if Congress hopes to get it to President Obama before the year is up. "Anybody who thinks that is going to be transparent to the American people is really not telling it like it is," added Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.).
This is and has been taught in our schools for at least the last two years. I saw this on the Glenn Beck Show. It's filled with Liberal Anti-Capitalist & Environmental B.S. Not only are many of the facts distorted but some are flat false. And it's done in a happy cheery style that kids will enjoy. It's easier to understand than Al Gore's book An Inconvenient Lie. (Opps Freudian slip) And it's filled with even more crap.
Now the icing on the Cake. Children in public shools (A.K.A Government run schools)being taught to sing in praise of their great leader. Make your own mind up on this one but as you do, also consider how many songs kids sang in praise of President Bush. Then consider what other great regimes in the history of the world had government sponsorship with song in glorious celebration to their great leaders.
As you may have heard both the Senate and the House have voted to end funding of the organization ACORN. This is a good first step, but only a First Step. You need to be aware that both houses of Congress added this language to completely unrelated bills. This means that the bills that reach the Presidents desk could be stripped of the language and in effect make no change to ACORN's funding what so ever. What needs to happen is an Executive Branch (President Obama) order to use the Federal suspension and Debarment process. This process is coordinated by the Office of Management and Budget at the White House.
This procedure is intended to prevent poor performance, waste, fraud and abuse in federal procurement actions. Debarment or suspension of an organization, business or individual from doing business with the Federal Government is not meant as a punishment but to ensure that federally funded business is conducted legally and with responsible people. This step is the only action that will completely sever the relationship of ACORN with our federal tax dollars.
Congresswomen Michele Bachmann has already written the office to request this procedure. You can sign an online petition here. Without this procedure ACORN is still eligible to receive funds. It is important that you understand the recent congressional votes were only a smoke screen to make it appear that Congress hears our voices and wants to shut ACORN down.
It seems that the Obama Administration is doing it again. More Change we can believe in. More Hope! Eastern Europe is now open to missile attack from Iran and Possibly China. This is of course another George W. Bush commitment that Obama has now changed. It seems he is more concerned with overturning everything Bush did than he is in actually improving conditions and safety in the world. In addition to this the news comes out on the 70th aniversery of the Russian invasion of Poland.
The administration is saying that this is an effort to calm Putins concerns over the system. That eliminating this system will improve chances of gaining Kremlin support for Nuclear Arms Control and assistance in Afghanistan. Does anyone believe that Russia is going to disarm? I mean really? Russia, rolling into Georgia with tanks and troops over some oil, RUSSIA!!! Are they going to sit back now, calm over the threat that little old Poland or the Czech Republic are over Russia and decide maybe that Obama guy is right. Let's get rid of our Nuc's. REALLY???
This is nothing more than a powerful Liberal President using his pull to push an agenda that most Americans and most Eastern Europeans do not agree with. He is bowing to Russia while allowing the growing threat of Iran to loom in the distance. In addition to this, it was just announced that he supports extending the Patriot Act. Scraping the Patriot Act was a campaign promise that garnered allot of support from his left wing base. Just more evidence that Obama is not the great unifying agent that many believed him to be. He is instead the gifted two faced smooth talking politician that many of us feared him to be.
U.S. Tax Payers please be advised, your are to keep out of the Library of Congress. You are not allowed to use the library unless you are on very important research assignment. Funny though how they advertise to the public to Explore, Discovery and Be Inspired. I guess they only want you to look at the pretty building, how inspiring.
Looking at the books however is much more difficult than it should be. They have made the Library of Congress into a place that turns away citizens who want to Explore, Discover and Be Inspired by the vast historical knowledge available in the books within the Library.
Please be warned if you choose to travel to Washington DC and wish to see any books inside the library you must declare your intent to RESEARCH.
"I would like to send this check to my Congressman but he has not spoken out like Mr. Joe Wilson. I'll Support Mr. Joe Wilson and any Politician who risks being Admonished by speaking out."
I don't care which party you belong to or what color skin you have.
If you you lie you're a liar. Mr. Obama said the Health Care plan would not cover illegal aliens. Every indication that the Democrats have made so far indicate they want coverage for illegal aliens. This means he lied. it may not have been in the best taste for Joe Wilson to yell it out when he did but this is politics. When has politics ever been in good taste? Obama Lied, Joe Wilson called it like he saw it.
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
Political Correctness is ruining this country.
We need more people like Joe Wilson, not less. The Congress is not a club, it's a body made up of people who should represent the masses. Each and every politician in Washington should fear that if they step out of line, someone is going to call them on it. PERIOD.
The actual number of people that attended the 9-12-2009 March on Washington is irrelevant. If you watch the video and look at the pictures you can tell that a HUGE amount of people came down. My wife and I we shocked at the amount of people who came in for the event. For every person that traveled to Washington DC there was at least a person or two who couldn't make the trip but would have if possible. So, I have this to say to David Axelrod and his buddies who think we are wrong.
We the People have spoken. we expect you to listen!
Finally we score a victory for freedom! The Communist is gone, I don't care what story they come up with to spin it, he's gone. Of course we have Glenn Beck to thank the most, for applying the kind of pressure no one else would. We now need to apply pressure on a few more of the so-called Czars on the Government payroll. I suggest we move on to Mark Lloyd, John Holdren or Cass Sunstein. These guys are pretty far Left of Center with ideas that most Americans would think radical.
Cass Sunstein is a legal scholar whose philosophy is that of Soft Paternalism. He also believes in animal rights. The kind that includes you're dog having a lawyer, not the PETA variety (I'm not sure which is worse). He also thinks that our 1st Amendment rights need to be reformulated. If that isn't enough for you, he also believes we should celebrate Tax Day. He believes "There is no liberty without dependency"
HIS WORDS
"In what sense is the money in our pockets and bank accounts fully ‘ours’? Did we earn it by our own autonomous efforts? Could we have inherited it without the assistance of probate courts? Do we save it without the support of bank regulators? Could we spend it if there were no public officials to coordinate the efforts and pool the resources of the community in which we live?... Without taxes there would be no liberty."
John Holdren is the Science (Science Fiction) Czar. He actually suggested the use of Sterilization of women after they reach a pre-determined number of children. He also suggested the use of sterilants in the drinking water as means of population control as well as less sci-fi options as open access to birth control and abortions. Let's not forget the practice of seizing Children from teen mothers and placing them with more qualified parents.
Think what you will about these guys, all of them need to go in my opinion.
Here are the other Obama Czars. I'm going to be doing some more reasearch on each of them.
Afghanistan Czar: Richard Holbrooke AIDS Czar: Jeffrey Crowley Auto recovery Czar: Ed Montgomery Border Czar: Alan Bersin CA Water Czar: David J. Hayes Car Czar: Ron Bloom Central Region Czar: Dennis Ross Domestic Violence Czar: Lynn Rosenthal Drug Czar: Gil Kerlikowske Economic Czar: Paul Volcker Energy and Environment Czar: Carol Brower Faith-Based Czar: Joshua DuBois Great Lakes Czar: Cameron Davis Green Jobs Czar: Van Jones Guantanamo Closure Czar: Daniel Fried Health Czar: Nancy-Ann DeParle Information Czar: Vivek Kundra International Climate Czar: Todd Stern Intelligence Czar: Dennis Blair Mideast Peace Czar: George Mitchell Pay Czar: Kenneth Feinberg Regulatory Czar: Cass Sunstein Science Czar: John Holdren Stimulus Accountability Czar: Earl Devaney Sudan Czar: J. Scott Gration TARP Czar: Herb Allison Terrorism Czar: John Brennan Technology Czar: Aneesh Chopra Urban Affairs Czar: Adolfo Carrion Jr. Weapons Czar: Ashton Carter WMD Policy Czar: Gary SamoreRead
This guy is so radical he has no business being anywhere near the White House. How does someone like this get within ear shot of the President of the United States? Who is checking out these people?
I had already made up my mind on this guy when I heard about his anti-American views and the fact he was a self avowed Communist. He is not a stupid man, he knows how to sell his agenda. This is the man who wrote "Hoopties for Hybrids", and "you can't green cities until you green the ghetto, you can't green the ghetto unless you give Pooky a job".
Now we find out he is also a 9/11 Truther NUT JOB who actually thinks the US government was behind the September 11 Attacks. I don't care that he apologized for his comments, he didn't deny them. This mean he's sorry it was found, not that he doesn't actually believe it.
I'm an ex- Liberty Organizer who's been taking a break while still being concerned about the state of affairs in our society today. I've been less politically active in the last couple years taking care of my personal life but it may be time to get back on the horse...
