Skip to comments.Mental Health Advocacy Gone "Nuts"
Posted on 12/16/2012 8:16:34 AM PST by txnativegop
The dangers of allowing mentally distrurbed individuals to roam our streets should be common sense. The recent shooting in CT was proof of that contention. However, this advocacy group did not get the memo apparently.
MindFreedom has a public protest campaign called "MadPride". They seemingly want psychiatric patients to stop taking their medications.
These people are scary.
Ironically, there is a closed hospital like this just 1.5 miles from where the shooting took place.
We need to start advocating for such hospitals to be reopened. It might help prevent tragedies like CT. Won't stop them all of course, but anything is better than what we have now.
It was Pres. Reagan that forced them out on to the streets around 1985.
Time to start hospitalizing them again. IMO
I agree, and a public policy of "free range" mentally ill people is dangerous and cruel for them and dangerous and cruel for many who come in contact with them. But this started with Kennedy's Community Mental Health Act of 1963, and since it's taken 50 years to create the current mess, it's going to take a while to fix it. If it ever gets fixed. Probably not in my lifetime.
Nor mine either, I'm afraid. However, we have to start somewhere, and it might as well be here.
If the mentally ill were institutionalized it would reduce the liberal voting rolls, and members of the House and Senate would be unavailable to serve.
And this bad why?
Maybe someday the realization that Mental Illness of this sort is the definition of Evil.
Don't worry in the future we will have 0bamacare.
It will cure all diseases.
Mental desease will be a thing of the past.(/s)
Bull Crap. Reagan wanted to reform the hospitals, not close them. The Democrat controlled congress forced closure on him. The move to close them started by a 60 Minutes episode by Geraldo Rivera on the Willowbrook mental hospital called "Willowbrook: the Last Great Disgrace". This started a big movement by liberals and the ACLU to shut all of these hospitals down. When Reagan was governor of California, the liberals held the budget over his head in exchange to close them down. Reagan's proposal was to just reform the system. It was liberals who shut them down.
Dear Mr. Jack Hydrazine,
Get your facts straight.
Reagan was President some 15 years AFTER the liberoids of the 1960's pushed through de-institutionalization including Supreme Court findings that the mentally ill did not need to take medication until they are imminently dangerous.
You can thank left-wing progressives for the fact that mentally ill people like Adam Lanza are able to carry out their disturbed malevolence.
Not only did President Reagan have nothing to do with this, he was nearly assassinated by one such mentally ill young man.
Wow... You would think before posting such an outrageous libtard lie you would actually at minimum check your premise...at that thing called the Internet.....
... Unless you are a troll...
No Mental disease will not be a thing of the past.
It will simply become the new "normal." umfortunately.
Liberals would not hesitate to classify you as insane and lock you up. From the looks of the airports, sexual torture will be a part of it, don't worry.
If the protestors from MindFreedom don't mind having the nut cases living in their homes during this drug free process for at least a year, then let them house their cause.
I'm sure there is also an anti condom group for gays out there as well, doesn't mean it's going to do good.
That is a crazy thought on your part, so are you therefore part of the definition of EVIL??? Of course not!
Look, these people have problems. The mother didn't need to allow this mental child to have access to violent video games and it is beyond stupid that she decided that this was the child one should bring to the shooting range so he could become proficient.
Having no success in much in life he became very attached to the world of the violent video games and to one of the few successes he had in life which was shooting his mom's guns.
He should have been chemically or in some other ways castrated as to block the hormones that hit in the teenage years and this child would have remained IMO manageable as an adult.
Once they start going all off in their own world with the addition of being all sexually charged up they go mental.
Probably spent 7 hours or more a day trying to jerk off to porn and another four hours with video games. The rest of the time he was either sleeping, stalking or threatening others.
It did NOT go beyond me that the brother and dad had little if any contact with this guy.
Chemical or other castration would have IMO prevented the frustration and anger which led to all this death.
These types of people go super nuts from calm if boys as the testosterone hits in their teens. If they have mental conditions of several kinds they should be permanently chemically or otherwise castrated to prevent their sexual overdrive from taking their crazy to these violent outcomes.
What I am saying is pure logic, nothing to do with how people feel.
If you don't block these young men's testosterone from making them more nuts in their teens then you will have to end up jailing all these people which is far crueler IMO.
You wouldn't want this kind of kid breeding anyway, so I think castration chemically or however you can block the hormones would be the most compassionate way to stop the crazy.
Jail or lobotomy would be far worse IMO.
Thank you for correcting me on that bit of history! Maybe this mass shooting will move some within the mental health profession to institutionalize people like Lanza.
Thinking about it now it did behoove the Leftists to let the nutburgers out of their institutionalization because they could add it to their voter base. The Left is certifiably insane as far as I'm concerned. Just look at our national debt. No sane individual would have let it get out of hand like it has.
I for one didn't know the details on the Left letting the loonies out of their institutionalization. I have always heard it was Reagan's fault even from fellow Freepers. I'll double check next time before I repeat hearsay.
Thanks for the correction!
Sorry about the language. That false attribution bugs me. They blame Reagan for all the homeless because of it and I hear someone say it almost weekly.
And, we must have some way to remove these computer killer training programs - that would be the games that promote evil and violence.
"No Mental disease will not be a thing of the past.
It will simply become the new normal. umfortunately."
Apparently it ALREADY is! Just one example, a recent poll by Rassmussen showing that over fifty percent of Americans approve the job Obama is doing but only forty six percent like the health care act which is supposed to be his crowning achievement and only twenty six percent think health care will improve in the next few years. If you can reconcile those figures please tell me how because it sounds as crazy as Dan Rather to me.

Make your voice heard for our children's sake
To the Editor:
In Congress, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America.
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
The Rev. David Barnhart writes: "So far in the history of the human race, no child has ever been born without a biological father and mother. Now, in the Supreme Court of the United States, the Executive Branch of the federal government is arguing that, regardless of the biological facts of parenthood, states have no legitimate and defensible interest in ensuring that children conceived by a mother and a father are in fact raised by mothers and fathers. The brief that the Justice Department presented to the Supreme Court (in response to California's Proposition 8) discussed children only as items controlled by others, not as individual human beings who have God-given rights of their own."
Adults will continue to debate issues of conscience and morality until Christ returns. Children, however, do not have the same interest or privilege. Demonstrating an active faith in Jesus yields results that can be observed and measured; to put it another way: faith without works is dead (James 2:17). I implore you to voice your opinion on behalf of those with less power (or little to no power?children) to your legislators who are currently considering the redefinition of marriage from: one man and one woman to: two people who love each other.
Why does it matter? It matters because nature alone teaches us that life is precious and fragile; and that new life is created through the unbreakable biological laws inscribed into the very fabric of human existence, re: the law of nature by nature's God. Of course, the Holy Bible instructs us as well. Predictably, however, adults are not all in agreement about the laws contained in that book.
It matters because decisions made by those in power frequently result in unforeseen or even dangerous consequences for people caught up in the turmoil of the shifting tides of public opinion. Dare we to make the hard job of raising kids in this world even more complicated? When the rights of the smallest of our citizens – created in the image of God – who are already at risk as a result of actions taken by adults (even when choices made by adults were in no way intended to harm them) are overlooked everyone loses. Simply put: it's a lot harder to be a kid than it was 30 years ago.
It may be too simplistic (or nave) for me to continue to wish that the primary purpose of the law of the land is to protect the more vulnerable populations in our midst. I say this even as I maintain the utmost admiration for people who legally adopt and/or foster-raise children in order to give them the best life possible. My point is this: Even though the ideal for family is marred by our broken nature (sin), it's still the original plan.
This Sunday at 6:30 p.m. you have the opportunity to gather at Grace Life Church, 601 E. College Drive, for a Community Prayer and Worship Service to pray for our nation. Thursday is the National Day of Prayer in which Christians will collectively bow before Almighty God to ask for forgiveness, guidance and peace and to listen for the voice of God in our land.

Conflict of Interest Code for Members of the House of Commons
Routine Proceedings
10 a.m.
The Speaker Peter Milliken
Pursuant to section 28 of the Conflict of Interest Code for Members of the House of Commons, it is my duty to present to the House the report of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner on an inquiry in relation to the hon. member for Halton.
Government Response to Petitions
Routine Proceedings
10 a.m.
Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre
Tom Lukiwski Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8) I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to one petition.
Transboundary Waters Protection Act
Routine Proceedings
10 a.m.
Lawrence Cannon Minister of Foreign Affairs
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-26, An Act to amend the International Boundary Waters Treaty Act and the International River Improvements Act.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Canada Pension Plan
Routine Proceedings
10 a.m.
Scott Simms Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor, NL
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-519, An Act to amend the Canada Pension Plan and the Old Age Security Act (biweekly payment of benefits).
Mr. Speaker, I would first like to thank my hon. colleague from Avalon for seconding this bill. The bill would permit persons receiving CPP and OAS benefits to choose between biweekly or monthly payment schedules.
Currently, people receiving these cheques can only get them on a monthly basis. I have had several representations from people who said it would be easier for them for budgeting and in many respects when it comes to their monthly bills, they would prefer to have the option to be paid biweekly.
I would like to thank the Newfoundland and Labrador Pensioners and Senior Citizens 50+ Federation, representing over 100 clubs, for inspiring me to do this. I would like to thank its president, Robert Rogers of Glovertown, for bringing this to me.
I hope that with the graciousness of the House, this bill will be passed for our seniors.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Criminal Code
Routine Proceedings
10 a.m.
Fin Donnelly New Westminster—Coquitlam, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-520, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (luring a child outside Canada).
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to introduce two bills that aim to protect our youth in a way that the government has yet to address.
The first involves legislation that brings forward something that my predecessor and good friend Dawn Black began. Today I move this bill to deal with the question of child luring, a danger to all communities across Canada. It expands the definition of child luring to include all forms of communication, be it electronic, by cellular phone, or otherwise.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Criminal Code
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Fin Donnelly New Westminster—Coquitlam, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-521, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (means of communication for child luring).
Mr. Speaker, this bill makes it illegal for any Canadian citizen or permanent resident to lure a child outside the borders of Canada and makes prosecution possible here at home.
I feel, as Dawn Black felt, that these changes to the law are long overdue and I hope that my hon. colleagues will agree and choose to support this bill.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
First Nations University of Canada
Routine Proceedings
May 13th, 2010 / 10:05 a.m.
Ralph Goodale Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, I wish to table a petition today with several pages of signatures in support of the First Nations University of Canada.
Their position, of course, is in addition to the support of the Government of Saskatchewan, the University of Regina, the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce, the Canadian Association of University Teachers and many others. The signatories are members of the faculty, staff and general public in Regina in particular, but generally across Saskatchewan.
They call upon the Government of Canada to work with the students, staff and faculty to build a sustainable and viable future for First Nations University of Canada by fully reinstating the federal funding of at least $7.2 million per year.
I am very pleased to table this petition on their behalf today.
Employment Insurance
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Jim Maloway Elmwood—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present today.
The first petition is signed by dozens of Manitobans. The current EI program provides adoptive parents with 35 weeks of paid leave, followed by a further 15 weeks of unpaid leave. Biological mothers are given both the first 35 weeks and the latter 15 weeks as paid leave. We know that adoptions are expensive, lengthy and stressful to adoptive parents and their families. There have been recent studies out that an additional 15 weeks of paid leave would help parents to support the adoptive children and to help them through a difficult period.
The petitioners call on the Government of Canada to support Bill C-413 tabled by my colleague, the member for Burnaby—New Westminster, which would amend the Employment Insurance Act and the Canada Labour Code to ensure that an adoptive parent is entitled to the same amount of paid leave as the biological mother of a newborn child.
Earthquake in Chile
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Jim Maloway Elmwood—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, my second petition is also signed by dozens of Manitobans calling on the Canadian government to match funds personally donated by the citizens of Canada for the victims of the earthquake in Chile.
Members know that on February 27, 2010 an 8.8 magnitude earthquake occurred in southern Chile. The Chilean Canadian community has been putting on social events, raising money for earthquake relief.
The question everyone is asking is, "When will the Prime Minister give the same treatment to the earthquake victims in Chile as he did for the earthquake victims in Haiti, and match funds personally donated by Canadians to help the earthquake victims in Chile?"
Assisted Suicide
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
James Bezan Selkirk—Interlake, MB
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to present a petition from almost 100 constituents of mine requesting that we defeat Bill C-384, which was done. I was glad to vote against that bill.
The petitioners are saying that euthanasia and assisted suicide should not be considered as part of our society. We need to look more into helping those people live in a respectful way, to ensure that they are not suffering needlessly, and that we help them deal with their suffering.
I am proud to present this petition on behalf of my constituents.
Questions on the Order Paper

Question No. 179
Questions on the Order Paper
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Leona Aglukkaq Minister of Health
Mr. Speaker, with regard to a) to e) Under the terms of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, the Government of Canada is legally obliged to provide existing mental health and emotional support services to those eligible for compensation under the terms of the settlement agreement. Day schools do not meet the criteria set out in the settlement agreement which define Indian residential schools, thus former day school students are not eligible for compensation, nor are they eligible for the mental health and emotional support services provided through Health Canada's resolution health support program. Requests to include additional schools in the settlement agreement can be submitted to Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.
Health Canada officials work with former day school students who are seeking mental health and emotional supports to find other services in their community for which they are eligible, such as Health Canada's non-insured health benefits' crisis counselling benefit, or mental health services funded through Health Canada's brighter futures or building health communities programs. Provinces and territories may also be able to provide services.
With regard to f) The program does not collect data on the number of individuals who request service and are denied.
With regard to g) Day schools do not meet the criteria set out in the settlement agreement which define Indian residential schools, thus former day school students are not eligible for resolution health support program services. Health Canada works with these individuals to find other supports in their community that will meet their needs.
Health Canada maintains an appeal process for the professional counselling component of the program, which allows eligible former students to appeal specific decisions made regarding treatment plans, for example, the number of counselling sessions approved by Health Canada. There are three levels of appeal, and in each case supporting information is required and reviewed. Decisions are made based on the client's needs and the Indian residential schools resolution health support program policies. To date, three appeals have been received by Health Canada. Each has been resolved at the first level of appeal.
With regard to h) All former Indian residential schools students who are eligible under the settlement agreement for the resolution health support program are provided access to services.
With regard to i) The status of a client as a former student or family member is not captured in Health Canada's data; all eligible individuals are considered clients.
With regard to j) In order to ensure that clients have access to qualified providers, Health Canada has established the following criteria to which mental health providers must subscribe in order to register with the program: providers must be registered as a psychologist with clinical or counselling orientation, and in good standing in the province/territory in which the service is being provided; or registered as a psychological associate with clinical or counselling orientation, and in good standing in the province/territory in which the service is being provided; or registered as a social worker, and in good standing in the province/territory in which the service is being provided, MSW or PhD in social work with clinical orientation; and Masters of Arts, psychology, or Masters of Education degree, and currently supervised by one of the above designations may be accepted if there are no other providers in the vicinity and access to services is limited.
With regard to k) The registration process is directly managed by Health Canada's regional offices. Providers must meet the minimum work experience as demonstrated on their resume, proof of education, annual proof of current registration with the appropriate regulatory body, clearance certificate with the local policy authority issued within the last 12 months, and in some instances, reference checks. The timeline for registration varies across the regions, but is usually processed within a month.
With regard to l) The aboriginal working caucus existed from 2001 to 2006 and made over 40 recommendations to Indian Residential Schools Resolution Canada, IRSRC, now INAC, during that time. Fourteen of the recommendations concerned health supports. Twelve of these recommendations have been implemented. These recommendations involved: increasing the availability and types of health supports available to claimants throughout all of the various resolution processes; creating information tools on services available and how to access them; improving access to professional counselling for claimants living in rural and remote communities; providing financial compensation to elders and traditional healers who provide health supports; and increasing the awareness of IRS issues among professional mental health providers. The two recommendations not implemented involved: joining IRSRC's form filler service with Heath Canada's resolution health support worker, RHSW, service; and establishing community based healing programs to complement community-based alternative dispute resolution, ADR, mechanisms. Form fillers and RHSWs perform two separate, but complementary, functions. In order to protect the emotional support services provided to former students and maintain current service levels, there is a need to keep these two roles distinct. Under the settlement agreement reached in 2006, ADR has been replaced by the independent assessment process.

Today is UN Day, which marks the anniversary of the day the UN Charter entered into force in 1945. As we celebrate the birthday of the United Nations, it's appropriate to pause and recall the organization's indispensable role in serving as a forum for forging shared solutions to global challenges, and why it still matters 68 years later.
Whether it is providing food to the needy through the WFP, assisting refugees through the UN Refugee Agency, supporting children's education with UNICEF, promoting human rights at the Human Rights Council, advocating for opportunities for women, battling disease, or confronting environmental challenges, the United States and the United Nations frequently work together to make a difference around the world.
There are many practical ways that the UN and its network of organizations remain relevant today. Through the Universal Postal Union we ensure fair and efficient global standards and agreements for the delivery of more than 400 billion letters and packages every year. The World Meteorological Organization, facilitates the exchange of weather and climate data among nations to improve prediction and response times to severe weather. There are innumerable examples of how the UN and its agencies provide value to the nations of the world, including the United States.
To create new space to highlight this value, we recently launched an Instagram page. This page will allow us to share some behind the scenes snapshots of multilateral diplomacy in action, to discuss the important roles UN agencies play, and to hear from you. Please give thought to why the UN Matters to YOU, and then post a video, photo, or quote on your Instagram page, using #UNMatters. We'll be watching for submissions and we'll share our favorites with the rest of our online community.

Anoka, Minnesota (CNN) -- Late at night, long after class is dismissed, middle school teacher Jefferson Fietek logs on for his night shift: answering the texts and Facebook posts of suicidal teens.
Fietek, an adviser for his school's Gay-Straight Alliance in Anoka, Minnesota, says he gets messages from students contemplating suicide or those with friends in crisis at least once a week.
Some of the distressed kids are gay, others are questioning their sexuality, he said. Fietek's off-duty interventions may blur the line between teacher and friend, but Fietek, who's openly gay, said some of these kids have no one else to turn to for support.
"I'm worried and concerned about the kids in my school district who are struggling to navigate in a toxic environment," explained Fietek, who said talking to CNN could cost him his job as a theater teacher at Anoka Middle School for the Arts in Anoka-Hennepin.
The suburban Minneapolis school district, he said, has a climate where kids "feel they have to lie and cover up who they are." "If they're a kid that's questioning their identity, that they have to hide that," he said. "If there's a girl that's too masculine and is being harassed about that, or if there's a boy that's too feminine, [they're] just not feeling a collective support."
Hard to see a lot of fault on the school's attempt to be balanced here. They acknowledge this is an issue that should be addressed in the home and they also have a fairly sound bullying policy in place.
The lawsuit seems questionable.

A collection of stories from individuals with disabilities, families, friends, and disability service providers in Tennessee
Showing stories 1 - 4 of 4
Results related to: Student interview of parent / Future Concerns / 6 to 13 years
"Kevin is looking forward to working just like anyone else."
"There is a huge need for teacher training in educating children with autism, and this training is needed both for special education teachers and especially for general education teachers. Also, the State of Tennessee must start helping serve the needs
of individuals on the autism spectrum. It is shameful how little our State does to help people on the spectrum to live as full participants in their own communities."
"If there won't be an accurate score, then why should he take an IQ test? We didn't want a number on the front of his Individualized Education Program (IEP) plan.* We want someone to flip the page and read all about him and not just assume what their expectations
should be based on that number."
"When Joey was first diagnosed with autism, I came across an article that said children with autism oftentimes grow up with very few friends. That hurt. I look to his school as a place where he can be with others. When he is out of school, I hope we will
find new places where he can be with his peers."

'In the long run, if we don't find some answers, we could lose a lot of bees,' says one expert.necessary number of healthy bee colonies.
No one is suggesting that neonicotinoids are the sole cause of current bee declines.Some studies have indicated that neonicotinoids can lead to a sharp decline in queen bees in colonies and can also interfere with the ability of bees to navigate back to their hives. James Frazier, a professor of entomology at Pennsylvania State University, said more research needs to be conducted into whether neonicotinoids, particularly in combination with other pesticides, may suppress the immune system of bees at "sub-lethal" levels, enabling diseases to take hold.
'These compounds are a nightmare scenario for pollinators,' says one beekeeper.particularly organochlorines (such as DDT) and organophosphates, which have known adverse environmental and human health effects. Neonicotinoids attack insects by harming their nervous systems and are considered of low toxicity to mammals. They are also typically used as systemic pesticides — meaning that they stay with the plant as it grows — and are applied as seed treatments, to roots, or into tree trunks, rather than applied with as a spray. This greatly reduces the potential for human exposure compared to other pesticides.

St. Augustine, one of the most influential theologians from the fourth century, penned these famous words in Africa, "Love God and do as you please." That statement has far outlived its author, but not everyone views it favorably. Some see his bluntness as irresponsible, possibly dangerous. Do whatever you want? Are you kidding?
But Augustine has solid ground to stand on. Thousands of years earlier, another theologian in Israel by the name of David said this, "Delight Yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37:4).
Do you love God? Are you delighting yourself in the Lord? If so, there's one more principle you need to know about following God's will. We think you'll like it. Watch, as John MacArthur explains . . .

My Dear Dr. MacArthur,
I purchased and read you little book that was then called "God's Will is Not Lost", I think. The last time I knew it was called: "Found: God's Will". It changed my life and have since bought many of them to give to people. I would now buy more but I can't seem to find them. I have read it so many times since then and will do so in the future!
I cannot thank you enough for writing it!!!
We actually met once when I was in high school. You came to speak at our snow retreat and will never forget the prayer you said for our first meal. It was: Rub-a-Dub, thanks for the grub. Yea God." I remember thinking: what kind of spiritual leader is this man? You were on the staff at Hume Lake at the time. I wasn't sure if I was going to get anything out of your speaking that weekend but, of course, I did.
I have respected your advice and teachings ever since I read "Gods Will Is not Lost". Just wanted to let you know.

Thanks for such an accurate and timely Word Dr MacArthur!

Yeah! Rock on, J.M.! It's time to tell the captives they are free. I've met Christians who were always second-guessing their decisions, asking "Is this what God wants me to do?" Even one extremely talented musician who gave up his career because his Christian youth group buddies convinced him he was "making an idol" of his music. Translation: he loved it too much. Enjoy the desires of your heart and be satisfied with the good things God has given you. Don't feel guilt over it - be thankful!
One sad part about this post is that it comes much too late for some people. It's just too bad that lesson is not taught much, much earlier in a new Christian's walk. As important as teaching what it is that makes our faith real, or what the "essentials" of the faith are, knowing God's will for one's life is not given as much importance (at least not in my case). Maybe because it would appear to appeal to a "join to get" mentality, I'm not sure.
Even the very mention of Psa 37:4 "Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Would make me feel not worthy to desire anything. After all, how could I ask for anything when I saw so much need around me?. I could very easily find someone in "real" need, and feel shame.
I was taught to "do without" as Jesus did (supposedly) to show real identification with Him.
Thank You, JMC. Delighting oneself in the LORD (as properly understood) is what it's all about.
Thank You Pastor MacArthur! It was insightful! It definitely made my day!
Amen, amen…
I want to take this opportunity to thank you guys at GTY, particularly in this Blog ministry. So much I have learned, and clarified from other faithful ones. I do delight in the Lord, and have learned (hard way) that through humbleness, meekness, and a Spirit filled life, my perspective about the world can change. It is all through the diligent study of God's Word, reading material that give God all the glory. Most of all, I want to thank God for the leader He has placed before you at GTY and that is John MacArthur, for his clear teaching of the Word.
My prayer is that Lord may continue blessing this ministry, and those of us that are learning the truth would continue spreading it. Here in America, things are going in a downward moral spiral at a million miles per second. Please…
Anyways, have a Merry Christmas.
Hi Linda,
The book you are looking for is still available from Grace To You. The title is Found: God's Will and the cost is $2 per book.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the encouraging comments, everyone. And thanks for mentioning the "Found: God's Will" resource, Deborah!
Here's the link for that.

Rick White,
Wisdom from God is like sliver refined in the fire.
I will do my best. It's awesome that God provides
wisdom. Thanks.
God bless

Aplacophorans may be monoecious or dioecious with single or paired gonads. All discharge gametes through gonopericardial ducts into the pericardial (heart) chamber. Gametes then pass through gametoducts to the mantle cavity where they are then released outside the body. Animals in the Chaetodermomorpha have external fertilization while those in Neomeniomorpha are internally fertilized, and sometimes even brooded. (Brusca and Brusca, 2003; Ponder et al., 2000)
Key Reproductive Features: Gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); Simultaneous hermaphrodite; Sexual; Fertilization; Fertilization :: External; Fertilization :: Internal; Ovoviviparous; Oviparous
Members of the Neomeniomorpha sometimes brood the eggs. However, most species release the gametes without further parental care. (Ponder et al., 2000)

Indian Creek
DescriptionThe Indian Creek Cooperative Wildlife Management (CWMU) is located northeast of Park Valley, Utah on the Raft River Mountains. The highest elevations occur in the northwest part of the Unit, around 9200 feet. Indian Creek is the dominant feature of the Unit. The North Fork of Indian Creek starts at 7400 feet and joins the South Fork at 6000 feet elevation. A smaller fork, Cucchi Fork starts at about 6600 feet and joins the main stem of Indian Creek at about 5800 feet. Indian Creek finally exits the Unit in the southeast at 5300 feet. The most common elevation is 5700 feet but ranges from 5300 feet to 9400 feet with an elevation difference of 2200 feet. Fifty-four percent (54%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 6300 feet and 8500 feet an elevation difference of 2200 feet.
The Indian Creek Coopreative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is dominated by two (2) landcover types. In the north the dominant land cover type is Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62). In the south the dominant land cover is Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland (37). Throughout the Steppe and along the edge of the Pinyon-Juniper are extensive areas of Inter-Mountain Basins Cliff and Canyon (8). In a strip through the middle of the Pinyon-Juniper Woodland is Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland (48), and at the extreme south of the Unit is a patch of Great Basin Xeric Mixed Sagebrush Shrubland (49).
One of the Indian Creek Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, PARK VALLEY (427408), is about 9.0 km southwest from the southwest edge of the CWMU. PARK VALLEY has seventy-nine (79) years of records, 1911 - 1990. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 2.45 inches, but it can be as high as 6.38 inches or as low as 0.62 inch. During the 91-day FALL period, 13 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 7 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 1 days of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Snowfall during the FALL averages 5.8 inches but can be as high as 22.5 inches. FALL temperature at PARK VALLEY averages 48.4 degrees F. but can be as high as 93.0 degrees F. or as low as 0.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 36 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and no days above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary. The Division does not guarantee access to any private or public land. Hunt unit boundaries may include private property or other excluded areas.

Gift guide: DVDs for children
DVDs for children come in all shapes and sizes, quite like the children themselves. There's plenty of fun for grown-ups to be had; find those lists here. If you can tear your child away from 'Green Eggs and Ham' and-or 'The Lorax' — my particular problem — here's an assortment worthy of gift-giving to the tykes, and worthy of watching by the parent, too.
Adventure Time: Finn vs. Me-Mow – One of the strangest kids' shows in a long time comes packaged with a hat like the one Finn, one of the main characters, wears. Of course, this Cartoon Network show features 16 adventures big and small, culled from four seasons and propelled by strange, kid-like logic. You'll see. It'll grow on you, and chances are your kid will be delighted from the opening credits on.
LeapFrog: Gift of Learning – This set includes two DVDs: Number Land and Phonics Farm. Though these learning DVDs are treats themselves and help draw out even the shyest of children by teaching them counting and new sounds, the big get here is a plush stuffed animal of Scout, the puppy host of both discs.
The Magic School Bus: The Complete Series – Long before Sid even thought about becoming the Science Kid, there were Ms. Frizzle and her constantly amazed students who were just along for the ride. Through the human body, into outer space, the wheels on this bus just kept on rolling to the next lesson (or the experiments included in the box). Old-school animation manages to keep today's kids interested, too, especially if your child is interested in the workings of the world around them.
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Complete Series – Yes sir and yes ma'am, it's been that long. The first series, the one that catapulted these action figures come to life, started in 1993. Watch as the franchise matured over 19 discs, and then tune in to watch the newest incarnation, Samurai Forever. Different cast, same cheese, forever and always.
R.L. Stine's Goosebumps: It Came From Beneath the Sink, etc. – Another pop culture touchstone that never seems to get old, R.L. Stine's series of books has enjoyed continued success in DVD form, too, with six out this year in celebration of its 20th anniversary. The Hub network has breathed new life into the TV series, a companion of sorts.
Sesame Street: Singing With the Stars – Your kids' favorite Muppets sing along with some of your favorite singers, who are obviously and quite happily having just as much fun as you and yours will have. I couldn't stop marveling at Michael Stipe's smile as he sang "Furry Happy Monsters" surrounded by the same.
Olivia: Merry Christmas, Olivia – The theme song alone will have you playing this one over and over again. It's the first release tied to the jolly holiday for Olivia, the imaginative pig.
Pick a streaming service, any streaming service — Netflix rolled out a kid's component, but it wouldn't be a bad thing to avail yourself of HuluPlus, Amazon Prime or even Crackle; my house has them all. The best shows aimed toward children will be available at your fingertips, all the time. And, best of all, you won't have to constantly clean off that DVD — you know the one.

USOC Hearing Panel status update
USA Taekwondo has begun to address several of the areas of concern expressed by the USOC Hearing Panel. Here is an update on the progress being made thus far:
- The USAT Bylaws are being addressed by USAT Attorney Stephen Hess. Mr. Hess is working in direct contact with USOC Legal Counsel Gary Johansen to completely restructure our Bylaws to more closely resemble those of the USOC. The Bylaws are expected to be completed well ahead of the May 3 deadline.
- USA Taekwondo Board Chair John Holloway has appointed the new Nominating and Governance Committee members. That committee will be responsible for the oversight of Bylaws matters and will also conduct the screening and vetting of candidates for future selected and elected positions within the organization.
- The Coaching Science Committee had its name changed to Coaching Science Advisory Committee at the recommendation of USAT Attorney Stephen Hess. This will help us to make it clear that this is not a USAT standing committee and that it has advisory powers only. The idea behind reestablishing the Coaching Science Advisory Committee is so that more coaches would be included in the processes that involve coaches and athletes such as team selection criteria, coach appointments, wild card selections, etc. Again, this committee is advisory in nature only. It will offer advice to the Head Coach, the High Performance Director and to the CEO. Clarifying the role of this committee will help us to meet the May 3 deadline set by the Hearing Panel.
- The High Performance Plan is in the process of being tweaked to reflect the one Head Coach system instead of two coaches, the Assistant Team Coach structure, the vision of the new Head Coach, and also to include the WTF Grand Prix series. The deadline for completing this task is May 31.
- The Minutes from the first Board meeting that took place this past weekend (April 6, 2013) will be posted later today. There is a process in place that provides for the Board members to vote to approve the Minutes via email. This will speed up the time that it takes to get the Minutes approved and posted. There are past Minutes from January through March that will be posted very soon. We expect to have all Minutes posted prior to the April 19 deadline set by the Hearing Panel.
- International Relations has been a weakness of our organization over the past several years. To that end, an international initiative was brought before the BOD for its consideration and was met with its approval. Mr. Sang Chul Lee was appointed President of International Affairs by the Interim CEO to help develop USAT's international relations, especially in Korea, by serving as a representative to the WTF, Kukkiwon, the Ministry of Sports and Tourism in Korea, and to increase relationships and possible funding opportunities to support our athlete development pipeline. All of this brings great value to our USA Taekwondo athletes in the international arena and also brings international sponsorship possibilities to our organization as well.
- USA Taekwondo has signed a four-year contract with DAEDO as one of our national sponsors. That means that USA Taekwondo will be using DEADO PSS for all of its national events and for the U.S. Open. The agreement does allow for USA Taekwondo to switch to a different company should another company be named as the PSS provider for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
The USA Taekwondo Board of Directors and I are seriously trying to move our organization forward and in a positive direction. These are but the most recent examples of how we are working to achieve that goal. As always, I will keep you updated in our progress.
~Bruce Harris

Marriage can be a real killer.
One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times bestseller Gillian Flynn takes that statement to its darkest place in this unputdownable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. The Chicago Tribune proclaimed that her work "draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction." Gone Girl's toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn.
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter—but is he really a killer?
As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn't do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?
With her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Amazon Best Books of the Month, June 2012: On the day of their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick's wife Amy disappears. There are signs of struggle in the house and Nick quickly becomes the prime suspect. It doesn't help that Nick hasn't been completely honest with the police and, as Amy's case drags out for weeks, more and more vilifying evidence appears against him. Nick, however, maintains his innocence. Told from alternating points of view between Nick and Amy, Gillian Flynn creates an untrustworthy world that changes chapter-to-chapter. Calling Gone Girl a psychological thriller is an understatement. As revelation after revelation unfolds, it becomes clear that the truth does not exist in the middle of Nick and Amy's points of view; in fact, the truth is far more dark, more twisted, and more creepy than you can imagine. Gone Girl is masterfully plotted from start to finish and the suspense doesn't waver for one page. It's one of those books you will feel the need to discuss immediately after finishing because the ending doesn't just come; it punches you in the gut. --Caley Anderson
From Author Gillian Flynn
You might say I specialize in difficult characters. Damaged, disturbed, or downright nasty. Personally, I love each and every one of the misfits, losers, and outcasts in my three novels. My supporting characters are meth tweakers, truck-stop strippers, backwoods grifters ...
But it's my narrators who are the real challenge.
In Sharp Objects, Camille Preaker is a mediocre journalist fresh from a stay at a psychiatric hospital. She's an alcoholic. She's got impulse issues. She's also incredibly lonely. Her best friend is her boss. When she returns to her hometown to investigate a child murder, she parks down the street from her mother's house "so as to seem less obtrusive." She has no sense of whom to trust, and this leads to disaster.
Camille is cut off from the world but would rather not be. In Dark Places, narrator Libby Day is aggressively lonely. She cultivates her isolation. She lives off a trust fund established for her as a child when her family was massacred; she isn't particularly grateful for it. She's a liar, a manipulator, a kleptomaniac. "I have a meanness inside me, real as an organ," she warns. "Draw a picture of my soul and it'd be a scribble with fangs." If Camille is overly grateful when people want to befriend her, Libby's first instinct is to kick them in their shins.
In those first two novels, I explored the geography of loneliness--and the devastation it can lead to. With Gone Girl, I wanted to go the opposite direction: what happens when two people intertwine their lives completely.I wanted to explore the geography of intimacy--and the devastation it can lead to. Marriage gone toxic.
Gone Girl opens on the occasion of Amy and Nick Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. (How romantic.) Amy disappears under very disturbing circumstances. (Less romantic.) Nick and Amy Dunne were the golden couple when they first began their courtship. Soul mates. They could complete each other's sentences, guess each other's reactions. They could push each other's buttons. They are smart, charming, gorgeous, and also narcissistic, selfish, and cruel.
They complete each other--in a very dangerous way.About the Author:
GILLIAN FLYNN is the author of the runaway hit Gone Girl, an international sensation that has spent more than ninety-five weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Her work has been published in forty languages. Gone Girl is soon to be a major motion picture from Twentieth Century Fox. Flynn's previous novels, Dark Places and Dagger Award winner Sharp Objects, were also New York Times bestsellers. A former writer and critic for Entertainment Weekly, she lives in Chicago with her husband and children.

Book Description Crown, 2012. Book Condition: New. Brand New, Unread Copy in Perfect Condition. A+ Customer Service! Summary: "Readers who prefer more virulent strains of unreality will appreciate the sneaky mind games of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl , a thriller rooted in the portrait of a tricky and troubled marriage." - New York Times "In this fast-paced thriller, Flynn tracks the disintegration of a marriage and asks: How does a couple go from uttering passionate vows to living separate lives?" - All You "A perfect wife's disappearance plunges her husband into a nightmare as it rips open ugly secrets about his marriage and, just maybe, his culpability in her death One of those rare thrillers whose revelations actually intensify its suspense instead of dissipating it. The final pages are chilling." - Kirkus (starred review) "[W]hat looks like a straightforward case of a husband killing his wife to free himself from a bad marriage morphs into something entirely different in Flynn's hands. As evidenced by her previous work ( Sharp Objects , 2006, and Dark Places , 2009), she possesses a disturbing worldview, one considerably amped up by her twisted sense of humor. Both a compelling thriller and a searing portrait of marriage, this could well be Flynn's breakout novel. It contains so many twists and turns that the outcome is impossible to predict." - Booklist (starred review) "Flynn cements her place among that elite group of mystery/thriller writers who unfailingly deliver the goods.Once again Flynn has written an intelligent, gripping tour de force, mixing a riveting plot and psychological intrigue with a compelling prose style that unobtrusively yet forcefully carries the reader from page to page." - Library Journal (starred review) "Flynn masterfully lets this tale of a marriage gone toxically wrong gradually emerge through alternating accounts by Nick and Amy, both unreliable narrators in their own ways. The reader comes to discover their layers of deceit through a process similar to that at work in the imploding relationship. Compulsively readable, creepily unforgettable, this is a must read for any fan of bad girls and good writing." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) " Gone Girl is one of the best Âand most frightening Âportraits of psychopathy I''ve ever read. Nick and Amy manipulate each other Âwith savage, merciless and often darkly witty dexterity. This is a wonderful and terrifying book about how the happy surface normality and the underlying darkness can become too closely interwoven to separate." Tana French , New York Times bestselling author of Faithful Place and Into the Woods "The plot has it all. I have no doubt that in a year's time I'm going to be saying that this is my favorite novel of 2012. Brilliant." Kate Atkinson , New York Times bestselling author of Started Early, Took My Dog and Case Histories " Gone Girl builds on the extraordinary achievements of Gillian Flynn''s first two books and delivers the reader into the claustrophobic world of a failing marriage. We all know the story, right? Beautiful wife disappears; husband doesn''t seem as distraught as he should be under the circumstances. But Flynn takes this sturdy trope of the 24-hour news cycle and turns it inside out, providing a devastating portrait of a marriage and a timely, cautionary tale about an age in which everyone''s dreams seem to be imploding." Laura Lippman , New York Times bestselling author of The Most Dangerous Thing and I'd Know You Anywhere "Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl is like Scenes from a Marriage remade by Alfred Hitchcock, an elaborate trap that's always surprising and full of characters who are entirely recognizable. It's a love story wrapped in a mystery that asks the eternal question of all good relationships gone bad: How did we get from there to here?" Adam Ross , New York Times bestselling author of Mr. Peanut "Just this minute I finished a week of feeling betrayed, misled, manipulated, provoked, and misjudged, not to mention having all my expectations confounded.

July 5, 2005 WIC Update
SUBJECT: National WIC Association (NWA) Calendars
SUBJECT: New WIC Operations Manual (WOM)
SUBJECT: Goals, Objectives, Strategies and Activities for FFY 2006
- The State WIC Office is in the process of requesting the Department of Health and Senior Services to order 2006 NWA calendars for the WIC participants. In previous years both the wall and pocket size calendars have been purchased. Due to a price increase in both sizes of calendars, the pocket calendars will not be ordered. The wall size calendar appears to be educational for both adults and children whereas the pocket size calendar does not provide this same education. If the Department approves the purchase ordering of the calendar, we will ship them to you upon arrival.
- You will soon be receiving the WIC Operations Manual and Resource Center (v1.0) CD in the mail. This version of the WOM is quite different than previous versions. We have added several resources, websites, training materials, and numerous other additions as well. This is being done in an effort to provide the local WIC providers and others who use the WIC Operations Manual, quick access to other WIC resources as well as the WIC policies.
The WOM users guide has now been incorporated inside the WOM & Resource Center infobase. This was previously distributed as a paper document. Attached to this e-mail are several items that you will need to print off and read before loading the WIC Operations Manual and Resource Center (v1.0) CD.
- During the week of July 5 - 8, the State WIC Office will be e-mailing the LWPs a draft of the WICNS annual goals, objectives, strategies and activities for Federal Fiscal Year 2006. We are seeking your input. Please review them and submit your comments to Vicki Franklin by July 15. Vicki's new email address is firstname.lastname@example.com.

Buffalo Burger with Harvest Relish
It's hard to go back to buying ground meat for making burgers when you've started making your own using your meat of choice. You can control the amount of fat, mix meats, add flavors and make the grind as coarse or fine as you like. If I'm going to make a regular burger, I always use buffalo – it's lean, flavorsome and I know it will be grass fed. Just buy the meat of choice, dice and place in a food processor with …..whatever, using the pulse button to grind as desired.

Linguistic Field(s): Morphology; Phonology; Semantics; Sociolinguistics; Syntax
Subject Language(s): Portuguese
Call Deadline: 30-Jan-2014
Meeting Description:
In the last 50 years, the assumption that all languages are inherently variable has guided models that seek to identify the systematic patterns of language variation and their impact on processes of language change. Variationist sociolinguistics is one of these models. Its central principle is that phonetic/phonological, syntactic and semantic differences among different diatopic and diastratic varieties of the same language can be explained by either structural constraints or social factors (Weinreich et al, 1968; Labov, 1972, 1994).
In the literature on Portuguese, this research program came to be associated with the perspective proposed by, for instance, Tarallo and Kato (1989), that intra-linguistic and cross-linguistic variation may be conceived in the same way, i.e., in terms of a differentiated application of parameters (pre)determined by universal principles (Chomsky l982; l995 and subsequent work). The interaction between insights of formal theories of grammar and empirical data becomes possible only by means of rigorous monitoring of the corpora under analysis, given that variation and change can only be measured in terms of statistical patterns of language use. The ongoing project at the University of Minho, The Sociolinguistic Profile of Braga´s Speech Variety, seeks to pursue these goals.
As part of this project, the University of Minho is hosting the Ist International Symposium on Variation in Portuguese. The meeting aims to bring together researchers working on variable phenomena internal to the different varieties of Portuguese – European, Brazilian and African varieties of Portuguese – at different levels of the grammar (phonetics/phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics).
Final Call for Papers:
The deadline for abstract submissions has been postponed to January 30.

State School Board Banning Native American School Nicknames
The Oregon Board of Education has voted to require Oregon schools to retire their Native American mascots within five years or risk losing state funding.
The vote Thursday gives Oregon some of the nation's toughest
restrictions on American Indian nicknames, mascots and logos.
Eight high schools will need to change their nickname and mascot
by July 2017 or lose state money. In southern Oregon, Rogue River High School, now known as the "Chieftans," would be affected, as would Roseburg High School, with their "Indians" nickname.
Seven schools identified as the "Warriors" only have to alter their mascot.
Since the 1970s, more than 600 high school and college teams
have dropped Native American nicknames, including 20 in Oregon. But
some small communities have resisted the trend, saying their
nickname is a source of pride and tradition. Critics of the ban also say changing uniforms, letterhead, signage, fields, floors and website that bear school logos and will be a financially costly move.

"they sent guys like myself,
Shorter, Rogers, and Salazar down to this lab in Georgia. They told us
that we would get the same benefits and run the same times that we ran
at only 80 miles. I personally never listened and went out and did
130-140 miles because that gave me the confidence I needed. At the end
of my era, lots of these marathoners started listening to these
scientists and lowered their mileage alot. US Marathoning began to turn
into an all time low. But its rising now, and just like it slowly
declined it will slowly increase. Don't expect an overnight change, but
give it a few years."

Loren asked a question the other day, wondering if the real reason for the anti-Obama sentiment was race related. i'm starting to think that is the most likely cause. the linked article discusses 2 cases of GTP (formerly GOP) authorities caught forwarding blatantly racist Obama hate emails.
additionally, an Alaska man is suing to keep Obama off of the Presidential ballot because he is black, and he believes that the 14th Ammendment was ratified improperly or illegally. (http://www.politiscoop.com/us-politics/wisconsin-politics/760-alask...)
besides the color of his skin, what has Obama done that is so hateable? ok, there is the debt issue. of course, it might have happened no matter who was elected President, but i'll give them that one.
what else? not enough drilling? stopping the Canadian pipeline? oil prices in general? taxes?
i can see not liking the current President, no matter who he is, for all sorts of reasons. but the immense hate that you get from the anti-Obama crowd is delerious. they would vote for the Grand Wizard of the KKK before voting for Obama. actually, the Wizard might beat him in a landslide.

Giuseppe, I agree with you wholeheartedly, and I would go a step further ... people with religious entanglements need to be watched very closely to see what they have done in the past, how they make their decisions, and the decisions made.
Perhaps we need to do more educating about the role spirituality played in Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin. They were deists, as I understand, and is that not like humanists?
Patriot Act 2 (he said he would repeal this and close Guantanamo)
NDAA (making the world Guantanamo)
and now this...
I repeat- Obama is the worst president in US history. Or rather a somewhat average sort-of benevolent dictator... for now. Although I think Obama is really just the actor the powers that be chose for the face of public power. Divide and conquer.
The Republic is already gone.
That is so sad. It's same arguments that is always used against a President. "Oh, dear the sky is falling". But we clear thinking people know it was only an acorn.
I hope the "Republic" is gone. Maybe we can get our Democracy back.
You would have looked good standing in the breadline during the depression that Obama prevented.
"Maybe we can get our Democracy back."
Terry, the US of A has never been a democracy. Even on election days, we are choosing oligarchs.
I agree, our country was founded on representative government and that is not the same as a democracy. I doubt a democracy can work because of the ways working people respond to charismatic politicians and promises made and not kept.
That said, are we going to have to go into a deep depression to prove to those voters that glowing words are designed to get a large number of people on their train and stay on their tracks, which creates the booms and busts. Do we want stability? Do we want security? Do we want safety? Then wide wage gaps, unemployed workers, a lower pool of consumers with money to buy goods and services.
Checking your links out Will.
John Adams (our 2nd president) advocated for, and signed into law, the Alien and Sedition Acts. Have a look at what those laws entailed. Based on that, maybe we should consider Adams to be the worst president ever? Or how about FDR, for sending thousands of Japanese Americans to essentially indefinite detention in internment camps - how's that for depriving people of civil liberties? Maybe FDR was the worst ever?
The broader message, transcending politics, is that we humans tend to regard the current tough-times as the worst ever. The recent recession is the worst ever. The 2012 NDAA suspension of civil liberties is the worst ever. The corruption in politics is the worst ever. Our national standing in the world is the worst ever. I could go on and on... we magnify the present and forget the past.
Obama is not the principled leader that his campaign "promised", but to call him the "worst ever" ignores the 43 prior presidents. We have quite a collection from which to choose. Not even GWB was the worst ever - far from it. He was just a foolish man with a twisted idealism who was easily manipulated by schemers.
Obama is neither a savior nor a tyrant. He's just another guy with telegenic looks and smart tactics, who has succeeded in climbing to the pinnacle of power. He has neither restored hope nor enervated it. Did he prevent World Depression II? I don't know. But I will grant him this: he neither militarized society like FDR during the first Great Depression, nor did he flail around like Hoover. I won't argue that he saved the world, but I'm fairly convinced that he didn't make an already bad situation worse. And given the track record of American leadership, that makes Obama at least a mediocre president.
But back to the original question: why is Obama hated so much? Racism is one ingredient, but only one of many. The broader cause, I think, is that Obama is a flashpoint for anger of societal changes in America over the past 50 years. That includes minority vs. majority relations, issues of gender and sexuality, American anti-intellectualism, urban vs. rural values, technocratic vs. traditionalist government. While in persona and rhetorical arts Obama is compared to Kennedy, deep down he reminds many people of Adlai Stevenson and Hubert Humphrey. He represents "that" America.
what he said.
nicely stated.
another smoking gun! a filmmaker made a video about Obama that shares a similar title to a book that was written by a communist/socialist/radical hence Obama is a communist/socialist/radical. gotcha. that's some sound reasoning by Beck. Andrew Breitbart just had his first smile since arriving in hell (tongue/cheek).
more smoking gun stuff!! this just keeps getting better and better. i need to thank my Mom for sending me these stories (even though she believes this shit).
my response to her:
did you read that article and manage to keep a straight face? let's see, the author (and sheriff) are taking the hearsay of a POSTAL CARRIER who's route was in the neighborhood of a family who supported a young man whose name he can't recall, but thinks he looked like Obama, who made claims about wanting to be President, as proof that Obama is...what again? i think i just had a brain hemmorage. the vetting of Obama keeps reaching new heights of insanity. if a mail carrier told me that i breath air, i'd hit up google real quick to double check. i'd be as likely to trust the memory of a toll taker who thought he saw Obama drive past his booth with a Black Panther bumper sticker on his care, which is to say, not very likely.
he's every bit as American as you or I. he may be a bad President, and maybe he should be voted out of office (i don't think so, fwiw) but THIS is not the reason why. you need to stop believing this stuff. it's madness i tell you, madness!!
