Catholic University (CU) being sued for not being Politically Correct. A small minority at the university want the school to change policies just for them. There nearly 7,000 students of which a mere 122 are Muslim Students find it offensive to have to stare at a cross, wooden crucifix, pictures of Jesus while performing their prayers.
The complaint filed with DC Office of Human Rights by John Banzhaf, an attorney and professor at George Washington University Law School. The 60 page complaint is alleging the University is discriminating against Muslims and also women.
Muslims students want a special room all to themselves to hold their prayers in, they are required to pray 5 times a day. The room MUST be free of any Christian Symbols. There is a Jewish organization on campus and they hold their meetings in unoccupied classrooms.
The other major point in the "complaint also charges that eliminating all mixed-gender dormitories on campus,and henceforth forcing students who live on campus to reside in single-sex segregated residences,constitutes discrimination on the basis of sex against female students since students will be assigned to dormitories solely on the basis of their sex, and many will be denied their residence of choice solely because of, and on the basis of, their sex."
Banzhaf said some Muslim students were particularly offended because they had to meditate in the school’s chapels “and at the cathedral that looms over the entire campus – the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.”
If the Muslims are so offended by the schools Catholic traditions one might ask why would they even consider going there? The schools president answered that in a December of 2010 interview with NPR: “An important reason [that Muslims are gravitating towards Catholic universities] is that the Muslim students, especially those who are observant, feel comfortable and safe at the institution,” said President Garvey in an interview with NPR in December of 2010. “It’s a place where their own faith practices are mirrored by our own. And they feel both welcome and understood at the campus.” He later went on to say: “We make classrooms available, or our chapels are places where they can pray” he told NPR. “We don’t offer Halal meat, although there are always meals that conform to Halal regulations, that allow students to do what they want.”
So what's the beef with them? These people come to our country, elect to attend a private Catholic school. What do they expect? There is a large Catherdral which looms over the entire campus which apparently offends them also. Do they want the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception moved to another location.
In my opinion they are asking a lot of a private school. Why should they remove their crosses, etc just so they don't have to look at them. They should be grateful the school accepted them and learn to live in the Western World. They knew it was a Catholic University when they enrolled. Surely they took a tour of the facilities and knew they would be surrounded with Christian symbols.
Whose "Human Rights" are they taking away? Seems to me they are trying to discriminate against the Christians of this country. I will once again be disappointed with our justice system if they rule in the favor of the Muslims. This is one case I will follow closely and keep you informed.

A Nation Of Mooching Takers
Unemployment appears to be rising despite Obama's agenda to lower the rate. He is wasting money on worthless stimulus plans that only benefit him and his cronies. Once again he wants to extend unemployment benefits, much to cost of the States.
Many people are receiving benefits who do not deserve them! People sell their Food Stamps in order to purchase drugs, cigarettes, booze etc. Go down to the local FS or Welfare office and see how many people drive better vehicles than you do. The so called entitlements are not being distributed properly.
The system is Broken and needs to be fixed. Gov makes it too easy for people to fall into the Socialistic trap that Big Gov will take care of them.
People have listened to Obama say "Spread The Wealth" for so long, they believe that is the only direction to take. Look at the so-called protesters that started at Occupy Wall Street and has spread across the Nation and now the world - 98% of those representing the 99% of the Country don't even know what the Hell they are doing there. All they know that the big companies and the rich should give them what they want - not what they have earned or are entitled to.
Governor Rick Scott (Fl-R) is doing something to change the welfare benefit system in Florida. Last May he passed a law that Welfare Recipients must undergo drug testing.
In a statement at the unveiling of Floridas State Agenda for 2012 he said: “Rather than continue to simply pay out benefits for those out of work, Florida must focus its efforts on ensuring that it can offer the most able workforce in the nation.”
Reforming Florida’s unemployment system to create a reemployment system
- Proactively work with job seekers to analyze skills.
- Require mandatory job training for under-skilled job seekers collecting unemployment.
- Help the unemployed receive the training needed for career advancement, increased productivity and economic prosperity
A key Initiative of Gov. Scott's will be:
Continue to eliminate over 1,000 state rules and regulations that stifle business growth and job creation.
I am a strong advocate that welfare recipients should have to give something back to the system to be entitled to their benefits. Many years ago a small town where the crime rate was extremely high used to have welfare recipients clean up the streets and parks before they could receive their benefits. That was the only time the town was not trashed! A person can apply for benefits over the phone and in most cases never even be screened in person for anything!
I think drug tests should be mandatory for ANYONE receiving benefits of ANY kind.
If they are drawing unemployment or any benefits they should have to provide proof that they have actively been searching for work.
They should have to become involved in state or private programs that will enable them to become part of the work force of this Country.
Any unemployed person receiving benefits should be required to do a minimum of a weeks worth of Community Service in the County they receive benefits in.
I am a firm believer that Big Government has turned people into takers and they have no desire to go out and get a real job. These takers just don't care who works to pay their bills all they know is their 'entitlement' checks will be there. Oh heavens, you should hear them cry when their benefits get cut, they are being abused by the system! I believe that if more states and the feds would make it a little harder for them to receive their so called entitlements we will see a decrease in money being given to the moochers!
"I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive." Acts 20:35 (King James)
I believe we should give and the recipients should also give or we will become a Nation of Takers, the Government and those working will be the only Givers. In order to receive you must prove yourself worthy of the gifts bestowed upon you.

Treating A Traitor With Respect - What the Hell?
With the recent killing of Anwar al-Aulaqi controversy is growing over the morals of killing a US citizen. Aulaqi was born in New Mexico to Yemeni parents. The family returned to Yemen when he was 7...enough of his life history.
Aulaqi is believed to have been behind:
- The Fort Hood Shooting in Nov. 2009
- The following month the attempted bombing of an airliner bound for Detroit by a Nigerian student
- The Pakistani-American man who tried to set off a car bomb in New York City in May of 2010.
According to the Washington post "In April 2010, the Obama administration authorized his targeted killing. Aulaqi had been the target of previous U.S. strikes and was quoted as laughing off an attempt to kill him in May."
As a fluent speaker of English and Arabic, and a savvy user of Web sites,
Aulaqi was able to gather a following online and radicalize Muslims he had never met,
earning him a reputation as “the bin Laden of the Internet,” U.S. officials said.
The Free World should be rejoicing the death of a person who clearly wants to destroy the Western World, instead many are disputing the judgement of Obama and the legality of targeting a US citizen.
I have read and heard such comments as:
- He whacked a US citizen in cold blood. End of story.
- But they did not even try to arrest him. It was a government assassination of an American.
- Andrew Sullivan of the Daily Beast said, : "My own position is that we are at war, and that avowed enemies and traitors in active warfare against the US cannot suddenly invoke legal protections from a society they have decided to help destroy."
Ron Paul calls it an assassination. "He was born here, Al-Awlaki was born here, he is an American citizen. He was never tried or charged for any crimes. No one knows if he killed anybody. We know he might have been associated with the underwear bomber. But if the American people accept this blindly and casually that we now have an accepted practice of the president assassinating people who he thinks are bad guys, I think it's sad."
Members of the Fox News Sunday panel with Chris Wallace had the following to say:
- Bill Kristol argued that while it’s hard to issue someone a warrant when they’re hiding out in Yemen, the main reason the killing was justified is that al-Awlaki proudly boasted of his anti-American reactions and his responsibility in the deaths of U.S. citizens.
- Juan Williams highlighted the comments made by Ron Paul on the issue and the notion it was a violation of al-Awlaki’s Fifth Amendment rights, but he ultimately sided with Kristol and agreed Obama made the right decision in this circumstance.
- Mara Liasson did not seem to take any sides, but did point out that aside from Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, and the ACLU, no one from either party seems to have an objection to the president’s actions.
Despite all the bickering over the moral ethics, I do believe everyone agrees the world is a much safer place due to his death. I personally believe he denounced his citizenship and loyalty to our Country many years ago.
Known as the Bin Laden of the Internet, he organized, recruited and brainwashed followers to do the dirty work for Al-Qaeda. I think he played a huge role in world wide terrorism. His goal was to kill all Westerners and we're supposed to pity him for the way his death occurred and question the legality of killing a self confessed terrorist!
Perhaps...only perhaps the killing of Bin Laden and Aulaqi are the only things Obama has done right.
The bastard was given the opportunity to turn himself in and have a trial, but he just laughed it off. Anyone who can publicly declare that America is Evil and make threats on our Country is NOT a United States citizen! I am ashamed that anyone would even considers him a citizen of this Great Country or be given privileges entitle to citizens.
The Fifth Amendment appears to be what is legally challenging the Morals of this action.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger;
nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be
twice put in jeopardy of life or limb;
nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself,
nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
We are at war with Al-Qaeda and all terrorists so legal action was not necessary to take this person out. The Fifth Amendment does NOT apply to Aulaqi.
As Anwar al-Aulaqi was born here, he is considered a citizen. I believe that when a person acts on the views of a terrorist he is a TRAITOR and should be abolished from this Country...permanently! He is not entitled to the benefits of our judiciary system!
What do you think,
should he have been given a Civil or a Military Trial or just taken out?

Been Away - Gone Astray - Back To Stay - Old Glory Will Never Fray
This summer has been very busy, hot and dry in West Texas. We have been away from our website, but have never forgotten our commitment to the Constitution and the people of this great Country. I must admit I have been discouraged by the actions of some of our newly elected officials and to an extent I have felt my work has not accomplished anything.
We recently took a short trip to Cripple Creek, Co. and Red River, N.M. in the RFA Motor Coach. The weather was very cool and refreshing compared to the hot, dry weather in Lubbock. The best part of our trip was the many wonderful Patriots we were honored to meet along the way. As we drove down the hi-ways in our motor home with the flag, eagle and RednecksForAmericans.com - Fighting Government Corruption plastered on both sides and the back we did draw some attention! People drove by honking and waving with thumbs up to show their support. I'm sure we received some not so patriotic gestures too! We were stopped by the side of the road to let our dogs relieve themselves when a patriot drove past then turned around and pulled in beside us. He took, pictures and expressed his gratitude for what we represent.
Campers came by our site to visit with us and show their disgust and concerns for our Country. One particular couple from Oklahoma appeared very disturbed by what is happening. Mike and Denise both former Democrats have seen the light and voted Republican in the last two elections. Mike said he did vote for Obama over Hilary Clinton in the primaries because he didn't think Obama could beat McCain.
Friends, the Tea Party Movement is as big as ever. We are not just a group of people spontaneously rallying, We ARE The PATRIOTS of this Country and our voices are being heard. We are gathering together to express our feelings and uniting to make this a better Country for future generations. Most of the people we met know the meaning of the Constitution much better than most of our elected officials.
The Patriots we met along the way are very knowledgeable in today's politics. They fear our Country is headed down-hill towards Socialism and will express their views and ideas to those who will listen, most have become avid Tea Party advocates. Usually the older people we meet are the most boisterous about this government, we were amazed at all the young people who are Mad As Hell!
Many of the young people who rent from us don't have internet or cable but they DO express their feelings. Some of them voted for Obama but now wish they had listened to us. If they don't understand what they are hearing on the news, they come to us for the full story. At times I feel like we are holding a mini Tea Party. These younger people are the ones we really need to get to understand the full impact of what Obama is doing. There is hope for them and they are rapidly fleeing from the charisma thrown at us by the lies of the Devil occupying the White House.
We have shown the Country there is a new meaning for attending a "Tea Party". One young man asked us where we went in our motor home. We told him to a Tea Party in Dallas. In disbelief he responded, "You drove all the way to Dallas for a cup of tea!" At that time he had doubts about Obama, now he knows all the evils being stuffed down our throats by this administration.
United we will restore our Country to a Strong Democracy once again.
Do you think the Tea Party is dying? Let me hear from you!

DOJ Threatens No Fly Zone Over Texas
Once again the Obama administration has shown it's arrogance against the will of the people. I am outraged that the egotistical people in the DOJ, Homeland Security and this Administration can be such an influence on the Sovereign States with their threats. We know they have threatened Arizona with lawsuits over SB 1070. Gov Jan Brewer is requesting the Supreme Court to appeal lower courts decisions.
Texas legislatures wanting to protect citizens from TSA's intrusive groping, while boarding planes or in other public places was ready to pass HB 1937:
"Relating to prosecution and punishment for the offense of official oppression by the intrusive touching of persons seeking access to public buildings and transportation; providing penalties."
Senator Dan Patrick (R-Houston) was presenting the bill for a vote when the a threatening letter from the Department of Justice was passed throughout the floor.
The DOJ actually threatened to stop all air traffic into and or out of Texas!
"If HR [sic] 1937 were enacted, the federal government would likely seek an emergency stay of the statute. Unless or until such a stay were granted, TSA would likely be required to cancel any flight or series of flights for which it could not ensure the safety of passengers and crew."
John E. Murphy, United States Attorney signed the letter sent to Texas leaders.
John E. Murphy, United States Attorney signed the letter sent to Texas leaders.
Realizing the impact of such action and seeing the response of Senate members Sen. Patrick quickly withdrew the bill stating, “I will pull HB 1937 down, but I will stand for Liberty in the state of Texas.”
Two years ago Oklahoma received a threatening letter from the U.S. Attorney General. Ok. had just passed an amendment making English their official language. Naturally the Feds did not like this so they threatened to cut off approiated funds to the state.
In 2009 both Montana and Tennessee passed a Firearms Freedom Act, resulting in letters being sent from the Feds. There was no explicit threat in those letters, but they completely dismissed any constitutional standing or legitimate concern by the state, instead (incorrectly) affirming the Federal Government's supreme authority over the issue at hand.
In 2009 Montana and Tennessee enacted a Firearms Freedom Act. Rather than sending threats, letters were sent to both states completely dismissing constitutional standing or legitimate concern by the states, instead (incorrectly) affirming the Federal Government's supreme authority over the issue at hand.
Recently Rhode Island passed medical marijuana legislation. Gov. Lincoln Chafee received a threatening letter from the DOJ. The U.S. Attorney was quick to point out the federal laws relating the controlled substance. Basically according to him only the Feds have any say in the manufacture and use of a controlled substance. He also said the DOJ would use full resources to bear against any state which attempted to oppose the Federal Governments complete control.
These are only a small number of threats that have been sent out to States and organizations by the U.S. Department of Justice. Where does this administration get off telling how a Sovereign State should conduct its business as long as they are within the realms of the United States Constitution?
This administration should not flaunt Texas dropping this bill as this is just the beginning of the storm. Citizens and states alike are outraged over the new intrusive scanning and x-rays now being used by TSA. These techniques are direct violations of the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue,
but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing
the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Hawaii, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Pennsylvania have similar anti-groping bills in the making sources close to the Tenth Amendment Center expect at least 10 other states to follow suite in 2012. It appears to me that the arrogance of the United States Government are over stepping their bounds. For more control over the people they interpret the Constitution to fit their needs. Many states and organizations have not got the funds to thwart the vicious, illegal acts being implemented by the DOJ and Obama.
I take all these threats being made on the States very personally, these are threats to the Freedom of myself, family and every citizen of the United States of America.
If we continue to let them strip our rights we will not be Sovereign States or a Sovereign Nation
Under God...We will be a Communist Country.
Patriots we rose in 2010 and we MUST Rise Even Higher in 2012!

Terrorist Killed, then Body Quickly Dumped at Sea
Obama orders Sea Burial, cleansing and wrapping of the body for the most hated man on earth!
The world's most wanted terrorist lies at the bottom of the sea after being killed by our Navy Seals in a joint operation with the CIA. What is happening, why should we go to the trouble and expense to dispose of his body? After the body was positively identified, it should have been destroyed. The bastard did not care about the bodies of the 3,000 victims of the 911 terror attack. Many of those bodies were never found, some only in bits and pieces, others so grotesquely mutilated only DNA testing could identify them. Does anybody really think that Osama Bin Laden cared for one second if they were ever given a proper burial? Hell NO!
It is an insult to me that we showed any respect at all for him. I believe that Obama's Muslim faith led to that decision. We spend our time and money to find, locate, kill and bury the murderous terrorist, then are expected to pacify the world with giving him a sea burial. I sure didn't see or hear of Bin Laden, the Al Qaeda or the Taliban caring if our victims were buried or not with proper religious ceremonies. They sure didn't get last rights read in a speedy ceremony. The Muslim victims they killed certainly were not honored with the Muslim tradition of a burial within 24 hours.
After identification of the body they should have cleared the compound put his body in there and blown him and the place to smithereens with only a hole in the ground to mark the site! Leaving no body for burial or friends and family to mourn over.
I can see not making a grave-site a shrine to Osama's followers, but you can bet there will be one somewhere. Probably on the site of the compound.
Apparently Bin Laden was originally from Saudi Arabia and they refused to accept his remains. I suppose they didn't want the responsibility of burying him, or didn't want the attention that his grave would bring to them.
There were 5,000 to 6,000 military aboard the USS Carl Vinson, the aircraft carrier that held the memorial for Osama Bin Laden. It is customary for all personnel aboard to attend a sea burial. How many people aboard even knew what was going on. I have learned that one crew member e-mailed his mother on 4-30 (last Fri.) and said he couldn't access facebook and would be in touch with them as soon as he could. On 5-03 she still hadn't heard from her son. Now she is worried that the USS Carl Vinson will become a target for retaliation.
I pray for the safe return of that vessel and all the crew members.
As time goes by I am sure there will be some leaks as to the location his body was dumped overboard, and his followers will be tearing up the ocean floor to find any remains. Or high above the ocean floor they will make a shrine to him and leave all kinds of trash to pollute the ocean.
What do you think should have been done with Bin Laden's body?

Obama US Citizen - Illegitimate President
After nearly 3 years Obama finally released his birth certificate! Most of us were not surprised to discover he indeed was born in Hawaii. Of course there are many speculations about the legitimacy of the certificate and the White House will have to verify every detail. Most likely the document will undergo forensic investigation.
There are still many unanswered questions that have to be dealt with. Jerome Corsi renowned author and Birther has discovered twin girls born the day after Obama in the same hospital. Their birth certificates have lower numbers than does Obama's. They were born on August 5, 1961 five minutes apart, their certificates were filed with the registrar on 8/11/61. Obama was born on 8/4/61 and his certificate was filed on 8/8/61 yet the number of his certificate is higher than that of the twins. (Something sounds fishy?)
Of particular interest to me is the fact that Obama's father was born in Kenya, East Africa and was a loyal citizen of that country. The eligibility of Obama is at risk as he is NOT a Natural Born Citizen
Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution sets forth the eligibility requirements for serving as President of the United States:
"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
A natural born citizen is a person born in this country of parents who are citizens of the United States Of America. Neither parent especially the father can show allegiance to another country. Since Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was NOT a citizen of America, that makes Obama just a citizen and NOT a Natural Born Citizen.
"One universal point most all early publicists agreed on was natural-born citizen must mean one who is a citizen by no act of law. If a person owes their citizenship to some act of law (naturalization for example), they cannot be considered a natural-born citizen. This leads us to defining natural-born citizen under the laws of nature - laws the founders recognized and embraced."~~ P. A Madison has a great article explaining what a Natural Born Citizen is.
By releasing the long birth certificate Obama and his cronies may think this matter is over, but I for one do not think so. There are too many unanswered questions concerning his past.
- If he never lived in Connecticut how did he get a SS # from that state?
- He enrolled at Occidental College under a foreign student grant.
- He had a citizenship as a youth in Indonesia. Indonesia does not allow dual citizenship.
- His college records have been kept from the public eye.
- Some question his standings as a lawyer and want to see paperwork from the Chicago State Law Board.
The discrepancies are many and I hope this is the beginning of finally unfolding the dark mysteries of Barack Hussein Obama. It is long past time he shows his transparency that he promised and reveals all the truth of his past that he has been able to hide thus far.
It is unfair to the people of this Country for him to leave so many unanswered questions.
It is unfair to the people of this Country for him to leave so many unanswered questions.
If it is proven that he is and was ineligible to hold the office of President of the greatest Nation in the world I do what about the consequences we will face. Technically every document he signed would be null and void. Putting our Country back to the stage we were in when he took office could be devastating for us. Personally I think we should pursue his legitimacy and fight for all he has taken away from us.
May God Bless America

Note: Jerome Corsi has extensively studied this subject and is very outspoken about it. His new book "Where's The Birth Certificate" will be released on May 17, 2012. Although the birth certificate has been released, the question still remains about his legitimacy. Should be an interesting read sure to bring out more details about Obama's sordid past.
