President Obama’s Pro Sex offender Judicial Nominee

Dear Readers,

 http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

I implore you to please take the time to contact your senators through the above link regarding Judge David Hamilton who our president desires to appoint to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals this week.

This man is dreadfully vile, and wicked! He uplifts the unlawful position to change our US Constitution and restructure it according to the liberal desires of judges. This judge also loves murder—killing babies within the womb, shedding their innocent blood. He upholds the rights of sex offenders; he is an ACLU leader, a supporter of ACORN, etc. He hates and defies Christianity and wants any Bible-adhering voice silenced. He proudly uplifts Allah and Muslim rights.

EDITORIAL: Jesus, no, but yes to Allah

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Senate Democrats are proving once again that no judicial nominee is too extreme for them to stomach. A move seems to be afoot to open debate on the Senate floor this week on the nomination of David Hamilton of Indiana to the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. This judge is a radical’s radical.
Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, sent a letter on Friday to his fellow senators outlining his objections to Mr. Hamilton, who is a federal district judge. The senator first objected to Judge Hamilton’s stated belief that judges should effectively amend the Constitution – “writing footnotes to the Constitution,” the judge called it – through evolving case law. Second, Judge Hamilton has publicly and specifically embraced the president’s “empathy standard,” which even Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has now openly rejected.

Third, Judge Hamilton in many cases has shown an extreme hostility against innocuous expressions of religion in the public square. Mr. Sessions noted, though, that Judge Hamilton’s odd ruling in Hinrichs v. Bosma “prohibited prayers in the Indiana House of Representatives that expressly mentioned Jesus Christ … Yet he allowed prayers which mentioned Allah.”
Fourth, Mr. Sessions pointed out that “lawyers in the Almanac of the Federal Judiciary describe Judge Hamilton as one of the most lenient judges in his district on criminal matters,” including the case of a police officer who videotaped his own sexual encounters with two teenagers. The senator also objects to the judge’s extreme actions in blocking an “informed consent” law on abortion.

Finally, in light of the property rights movement stemming from the Supreme Court’s infamous Kelo decision, property rights advocates may want to take a close look at his representation of the city of Indianapolis in 1992 in Reel Pipe and Valve Co. V. City of Indianapolis, in which property owners were forced to sell property against their will to benefit other private “economic development.”

An Obama administration official has said the nomination is “a kind of signal” about the sorts of judges the president wants. In reviewing Judge Hamilton’s record, that signal should be seen as a red light warning senators to stop this nomination.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 17, 2009
President Obama Announces David Hamilton for the United States 7th Circuit Court of Appeals

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, President Barack Obama announced his intent to nominate Judge David Hamilton to the United States 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. Hamilton has served for 14 years as a federal district judge in Indiana. He was appointed United States District Judge for the Southern District of Indiana in 1994 and was named Chief Judge in January of 2008.
President Obama said, “Judge Hamilton has a long and impressive record of service and a history of handing down fair and judicious decisions. He will be a thoughtful and distinguished addition to the 7th circuit and I am extremely pleased to put him forward to serve the people of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.”
Hamilton previously was an associate and then partner at the Indianapolis firm of Barnes & Thornburg and served as Counsel to then-Governor Evan Bayh of Indiana. Hamilton served as a member of the Indiana State Recount Commission and as chairman of the Indiana State Ethics Committee.

“I enthusiastically support the Senate confirmation of David Hamilton for U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. Judge Hamilton has served the Southern District of Indiana with distinction as U.S. District Court Judge,” U.S. Sen. Dick Lugar said.

“I was proud to work side by side with Senator Lugar to recommend Judge Hamilton for this lifetime appointment,” said U.S. Senator Evan Bayh. “President Obama is right that Democrats and Republicans can work together to put highly qualified jurists on the federal bench. Judge Hamilton is an exceptional jurist who has demonstrated the highest ethical standards and a firm commitment to applying our country’s laws fairly.”

Hamilton is a graduate of Yale Law School and studied at the University of Tuebingen in Germany on a Fulbright scholarship. He is an emeritus member of the board of visitors of the Indiana University School of Law.

Newsweek Article—It is Legitimate to Kill Granny

 
 
 
 
The Case for Killing Granny
 
 
I must tell you, I was quite disturbed to read the article, “The Case for Killing Granny,” in my father-in-law’s copy of Newsweek, dated September 21, 2009. This written defense was completely pro President Obama and his desire to NOT prolong the lives of the elderly and help save our government megabucks.  It spoke to our president and how he has informed us that the elderly take a large slice of our revenue. If we don’t spend our money on seniors, we can have more money, according to the article, which is obviously reinforcing our president’s stands.  It’s ok to divvy credit so people can own better cars and to assist Planned Parenthood, ACORN, etc…but don’t spend it on the aged.  Spend outrageous amounts of money keeping murderers alive, but kill innocent Granny.
 
This article also informs us that health care has to be rationed! So who do we ration? Those who can’t argue—those with little or no voice. This includes those classified in the area of special medical needs. Our present administration is very callous to those people they believe should have been aborted because they did not arrive perfect in form.  Those who own the best quality of life are those who deserve life, this appears to be today’s socialist/Marxist motto. 
 
The Bible speaks of the wicked seeking to kill the innocent (Psalm 10:8-9) and that is the platform of our government administration. They want to kill the defenseless—unborn babies and the elderly. Christians certainly need to be in prayer for people in leadership to accept Christ as their Savior, and for justice to reign in our land.

President Obama Supports Zelaya and Other Terrorists

 
 
 
Please watch above videos. Our president is again supporting another wicked terrorist— President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras—a socialist, murderer, drug lord, law breaker, etc. Legally he is out of office after serving four years. In Honduras a president can only serve four years and therefore Zelaya can be ousted despite the fact he attempted to change the law at the last minute. Our president has deliberately lied and stated this  man of deception has the legal right to stay in office.
 
 
“Journalists who have criticized Zelaya’s rule have been murdered and harassed.”
 
“In 1975 when Manuel Zelaya was 18 years old his father Jose Manuel Zelaya Sr. Was convicted and later given amnesty for his involvement in the murders of a group of farmers and priests in the Los Horcones massacre. The bodies of the murdered social activists were found on the Zelaya family’s ranch Los Horcones, but the Zelayas have denied having been involved in the murders, claiming that it was a coincidence that the bodies were found on their property.”
 
“People have expressed their opposition to both his (Zelaya) foreign policy, particularly his alliance with Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, friendship with Cuba’s Raúl Castro and his adhering Honduras to the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas, as well as for his periodic attacks on the United States, and periodic confrontations with the business sector.”

Venezuela is a frightening place to live because of Marxism.  When we were in Aruba, we heard of the terror people have to live under in this oppressive country. One Venezuela lady told us flat out how happy she was to be vacationing in Aruba and away from her scarry country. We could see Venezuela from Aruba, but no one was allowed to sail near the Venezuela mainland.
 
_______________
 
Our President stands with this man and other Marxists. Please don’t forget Obama gave a million dollars to his Marxist cousin who lost the presidential election in Kenya which resulted in him murdering 1,000 church attendees and burning 300 churches. Obama secured his cousin’s governmental role by awarding him a new political position, Prime Minister, within Kenya. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raila_Odinga

“Obama credited Chavez, who has been slowly instituting constitutional changes that will allow him to become president for life in his country….”
 
 
Marxism Wins!
Yay, Marxism! Yay!
The
Caracas Chronicles reported that Chavez has won the election in Venezuela today to extend his rule.

Leaders from Obama to Chavez blast Honduras coup

 
AP – A demonstrator, with a Honduran flag on his shoulders, stands next to a bonfire near to the presidential …
By WILL WEISSERT and FREDDY CUEVAS, Associated Press Writers Will Weissert And Freddy Cuevas, Associated Press Writers Mon Jun 29, 7:10 PM ET

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras – Police and soldiers clashed with thousands of protesters outside Honduras’ national palace Monday, leaving at least 15 people injured, as world leaders from Barack Obama to Hugo Chavez demanded the return of a president ousted in a military coup.

Leftist leaders pulled their ambassadors from Honduras and Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega said El Salvador, Nicaragua and Guatemala would cut trade with neighboring Honduras for at least 48 hours. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called for Hondurans to rise up against those who toppled his ally, Manuel Zelaya.

“We’re ready to support the rebellion of the Honduran people,” Chavez said, though he did not say what kind of support he was offering…

“We believe that the coup was not legal and that President Zelaya remains the democratically elected president there,” Obama said…

Federal Reserve Facts

Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpJJMFQgzC8

Please watch video at above link. How true? I don’t know but these are interesting insights into the Federal Reserve. President Obama wants his own secret control of this overseeing banking system.

This video is anchored by Charles Osgood who provides the facts and includes the positive side:

The Washington Post and UK article in regard to President Obama and his proposed changes:

http://www.telegraph.co.UK/finance/financetopics/financialcrisis/5562241/Strengthened-Federal-Reserve-is-key-to-Obama-overhaul-of-US-financial-regulation.HTML

You can see by the White House website posting how easy it is for a man to come into the White House and gain dictator power over a nation step by step. One head over all. One federal banking supervisor.

In Jesus Christ who oversees every detail in every nation; Isaiah chapter 40,

Val Lee

From President Obama regarding the Federal Reserve from his White House website:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Remarks-of-the-President-on-Regulatory-Reform/

“We will offer only one federal banking charter, regulated by a strengthened federal supervisor. “

…Second, we’re proposing a new and powerful agency charged with just one job: looking out for ordinary consumers. And this is essential, for this crisis was not just the result of decisions made by the mightiest of financial firms; it was also the result of decisions made by ordinary Americans to open credit cards and take out home loans and take on other financial obligations. We know that there were many who took out loans they knew they couldn’t afford, but there were also millions of Americans who signed contracts they didn’t always understand offered by lenders who didn’t always tell the truth. Even today, folks sign up for mortgages or student loans or credit cards and face a bewildering array of incomprehensible options. Companies compete not by offering better products, but more complicated ones, with more fine print and more hidden terms.

So this new agency will change that, building on credit card reforms I signed into law a few weeks ago with the help of many of the members of Congress who are here today. This agency will have the power to set standards so that companies compete by offering innovative products that consumers actually want — and actually understand. Consumers will be provided information that is simple, transparent, and accurate. You’ll be able to compare products and see what’s best for you. The most unfair practices will be banned. Those ridiculous contracts with pages of fine print that no one can figure out — those things will be a thing of the past. And enforcement will be the rule, not the exception.

For example, this agency will be empowered to set new rules for home mortgage lending, so that the bad practices that led to the home mortgage crisis will be stamped out. Mortgage brokers will be held to higher standards. Exotic mortgages that hide exploding costs will no longer be the norm. Home mortgage disclosures will be reasonable, clearly written, and concise. And we’re going to level the playing field so that non-banks that offer home loans are held to the same standards as banks that offer similar services, so that lenders aren’t competing to lower standards, but rather are competing to meet a higher bar on behalf of consumers.

The mission of this new agency must also be reflected in the work we do throughout the government. There are other agencies, like the Federal Trade Commission, charged with protecting consumers, and we must ensure that those agencies have the resources and the state-of-the-art tools to stop unfair and deceptive practices as well.

Third, we’re proposing a series of changes designed to promote free and fair markets by closing gaps and overlaps in our regulatory system — including gaps that exist not just within but between nations.

We’ve seen that structural deficiencies allow some companies to shop for the regulator of their choice — and others, like hedge funds, to operate outside of the regulatory system altogether. We’ve seen the development of financial instruments, like many derivatives, that are so complex as to defy efforts to assess their actual value. And we’ve seen a system that allowed lenders to profit by providing loans to borrowers who would never repay, because the lender offloaded the loan and the consequences to somebody else.

And that’s why, as part of these reforms, we will dismantle the Office of Thrift Supervision and close loopholes that have allowed important institutions to cherry-pick among banking rules. We will offer only one federal banking charter, regulated by a strengthened federal supervisor. We’ll raise capital requirements for all depository institutions. Hedge fund advisors will be required to register with the SEC.

We’re also proposing comprehensive regulation of credit default swaps and other derivatives that have threatened the entire financial system. And we will require the originator of a loan to retain an economic interest in that loan, so that the lender — and not just the holder of a security, for example — has an interest in ensuring that a loan is actually paid back. By setting common-sense rules, these kinds of financial instruments can play a constructive, rather than destructive role.

Over the past two decades, we’ve seen time and again, cycles of precipitous booms and busts. In each case, millions of people have had their lives profoundly disrupted by developments in the financial system, most severely in our recent crisis. These aren’t just numbers on a ledger. This is a child’s chance to get an education. This is a family’s ability to pay their bills or stay in their homes. This is the right of our seniors to retire with dignity and security and respect. These are American dreams, and we should not accept a system that consistently puts them in danger.

Financial institutions have an obligation to themselves and to the public to manage risks carefully. And as President, I have a responsibility to ensure that our financial system works for the economy as a whole.

There’s always been a tension between those who place their faith in the invisible hand of the marketplace and those who place more trust in the guiding hand of the government — and that tension isn’t a bad thing. It gives rise to healthy debates and creates a dynamism that makes it possible for us to adapt and grow. For we know that markets are not an unalloyed force for either good or for ill. In many ways, our financial system reflects us. In the aggregate of countless independent decisions, we see the potential for creativity — and the potential for abuse. We see the capacity for innovations that make our economy stronger — and for innovations that exploit our economy’s weaknesses.

We are called upon to put in place those reforms that allow our best qualities to flourish — while keeping those worst traits in check. We’re called upon to recognize that the free market is the most powerful generative force for our prosperity — but it is not a free license to ignore the consequences of our actions.

This is a difficult time for our nation. But from this period of challenge, we can once again tap those values and ideals that have allowed us to lead the global economy, and will allow us to lead once again. That’s how we’ll help more Americans live their own dreams. That’s why these reforms are so important. And I look forward to working with leaders in Congress and all of you to see these proposals put to work so that we can overcome this crisis and build a lasting foundation for prosperity.

Health Care Reform—Please Consider

Dear Readers,

It appears our new health care will be rationed as in other nations where you have to absolutely prove something is desperately wrong in order to see a doctor as in London (See Washington Post article at bottom of page). A lady was telling me about this the other day. She came to America and received the medical care she needed. She had been refused in London. She returned to London on Monday very thankful for the medical care currently available to everyone in America.

The saddest thing for Americans as of now—each of us will have to pay for baby murder. Also no conscious mercy refusal will be allowed. Medical staff will have to commit murder or lose their jobs in the name of abortion coverage.

We have to remember too that in the eyes of most democrats, anyone who is handicapped is considered disposable, as they should have been murdered at birth. “Quality of life” is motto of our day. America is becoming more Nazi in tune every day. We need to be in prayer for God’s perfect will for this nation that needs to fall on its knees in repentance for persistently doing it own thing.

Val Lee (1 John 5:10-13—the Bible)

England Facts:

“For example, recent news stories have reported on the difficulty of finding a dentist in England, which provides “free” dental care under its national socialized health care program. According to an October 17, 2007 article published by Reuters: “London – Some Britons have been using pliers to pull their own teeth out and super glue to keep the fillings in because of poor access to state dental care. A survey of 5,200 patients across England showed that some six percent of patients have begun doing a spot of home dentistry, a quarter had chosen to pay a private dentist and that 10 percent of patients had no dentist at all because they could not find one on Britain’s National Health Service (NHS).”4

Canadian Facts:

“Long waiting lines are a fixture of the Canadian health system. Waiting times vary among specialties (and, less wildly, among provinces), but remain high even for critical diseases: The shortest median wait is 6.1 weeks for oncology treatment; excluding radiation, which is longer. Extreme cases include more than a year’s median wait for neurosurgery in New Brunswick. The median wait for an MRI is three months. Since 1993, waiting times have increased by 90%.”

A Canadian Doctor Describes How Socialized Medicine Doesn’t Work
By DAVID GRATZER | Posted Thursday, July 26, 2007 4:30 PM PT

I was once a believer in socialized medicine. As a Canadian, I had soaked up the belief that government-run health care was truly compassionate. What I knew about American health care was unappealing: high expenses and lots of uninsured people.

My health care prejudices crumbled on the way to a medical school class. On a subzero Winnipeg morning in 1997, I cut across the hospital emergency room to shave a few minutes off my frigid commute.

Swinging open the door, I stepped into a nightmare: the ER overflowed with elderly people on stretchers, waiting for admission. Some, it turned out, had waited five days. The air stank with sweat and urine. Right then, I began to reconsider everything that I thought I knew about Canadian health care.

Washington Post:
Dealing with abortion in health care reform

Sunday, July 5, 2009

While liberal Democrats on Capitol Hill are working to pass President Obama’s plan to overhaul the nation’s

Health care system, few are talking about this essential issue: Will health care reform force taxpayers to pay for abortions for the first time in 30 years?

The short answer is yes, because there is no explicit provision in the bill to:

• Prevent taxpayer funding of abortions as part of the health care benefit Congress is considering. It is ironic that taxpayer-funded abortions would be considered a “health care benefit” since the baby gets no health care benefit from abortion.

• Prevent delays in health care services that result in the death of the patient waiting for the care, usually the old, infirm and the very sick. In the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions last week, an amendment to prevent the denial, delay or rationing of health care was defeated. Every Democratic senator on the committee voted not to prevent rationing.

• Allow health care providers, including doctors, nurses and pharmacists, to refuse to participate in any health care-related action that violates their conscience, be it an abortion or turning off a ventilator, denying or delaying care that will likely result in the death of a patient, or refusing to dispense an abortion-producing drug.

The entire political and legislative strategy of the health care reform bills being considered by Congress is to be simultaneously vague and to also empower the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to be “the decider” about almost everything.

The House health reform plan covers “family planning,” the well-worn buzz word that includes abortion unless specified to the contrary, and given the Democratic Party’s commitment to abortion, it would be naive to assume, unless there is an explicit prohibition in the bill, that Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will not use her discretion to fund abortions with taxpayers’ money.

The fact that the word abortion does not appear in the legislative language makes this bill even more dangerous, since an unelected government bureaucrat will be defining what is or is not “family planning.” Watching Mr. Obama’s pro-abortion decisions thus far, it is not difficult to see a future, should this health care bill pass, where the unborn child enjoys not a shred of protection.

In short, the health care reform bills being considered in both the House and Senate attempt to be silent on the key question of whether or not to allow the U.S. Government to fund abortions with taxpayers’ money, while simultaneously giving the health and human services secretary the power to allow taxpayer-funded abortions.

A new Gallup poll, conducted in May, finds that 51 percent of Americans call themselves “pro-life” on the issue of abortion and 42 percent “pro-choice.” When it comes to taxpayer funding of abortion, the numbers of those who oppose this practice are even higher, topping 70 percent.

On the other key life-and-death decisions there is an active commitment on the part of Senate Democrats on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee to allow the rationing of health care.

This is what the White House and Congress mean when they say they will cut costs. It means cutting off your access to health care services by creating the legal authority to do so, while stopping any provision becoming law that would prevent rationing.

In a world of health care rationing, the elderly, the handicapped and the frail are the most likely to lose their lives because care was delayed or denied.

Among the life-and-death questions the American public must ask:

• Do you feel more comfortable handling decisions about who will get care now or later, or at all, or do you want to hand this power over to the government?

• Do you want Congress to allow taxpayer funded abortions?

• Do you think the government should force doctors and nurses to engage in acts they are fundamentally and ethically opposed to performing?
