I know the people who vote for obama wouldn't be swayed if he stood up and demanded the death of every baby in America, but I have to speak out sometimes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to the machinations of the muslim in office, our healthcare will receive a crippling blow in the coming years. You know how he kept touting Canada's universal health care as the working model and how all these random Canadians kept saying how awesome Canada's healthcare was (despite the weeks spent waiting to get an appointment and the hours spent in the waiting room)? Well, here's an example of that Canadian universal health care system in action:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/02/24/canadian-family-life-support-battle-denied-request-hospital-transfer/"&gt;http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/02/24/canadian-family-life-support-battle-denied-request-hospital-transfer/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Canada's health care system is apparently simple: &lt;b&gt;Let 'em die...make it hurt if you have to, but let 'em die.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and remember, this isn't the health care our dictator in chief will be receiving for his family, nor will Pelosi or Reid have to use this. They are exempt from the horror they have pushed on the rest of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and congratulations are in order for our chief. He got his wish and now Egypt is well on the way to being controlled by his muslim brothers. That's one more enemy for Israel right on their doorstep, helped out by obama's demands that the Egyptian president (a long time American ally) listen to his people and step down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, obama is definitely leaving a legacy...that can't be denied.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-1669224185963909607?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/1669224185963909607/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=1669224185963909607&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/1669224185963909607'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/1669224185963909607'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2011/02/heres-your-future-health-care.html' title='Here&apos;s Your Future Health Care...'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q82HGs-bRVs/TWaf-W8fLXI/AAAAAAAACpo/RcmVsa8qIN0/s72-c/3187.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-8075808193173350819</id><published>2010-07-06T08:06:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-07-06T08:06:31.857-05:00</updated><title type='text'>NASA's New Purpose</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/TDMnsoj6olI/AAAAAAAACcc/Otr_GilC9lU/s1600/Obama_I%27m_with_Stupid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="161" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/TDMnsoj6olI/AAAAAAAACcc/Otr_GilC9lU/s200/Obama_I%27m_with_Stupid.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Just when you think obama can't do anything more stupid, &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/05/nasa-chief-frontier-better-relations-muslims/"&gt;he's now reassigned NASA (yep, the outer space folks) to improve muslim relations.&lt;/a&gt; Stop focusing on the moon, or the space station, or the stars, and focus on making muslims like us. Does that sound like it falls under the blanket of NASA's core purpose? Better yet, picture this: If Bush had told NASA to stop doing that space stuff and work on making Christians look better, every civil rights and activist group in America would have demanded his head on a stick, but because our muslim president wants his terrorist buddies to look good he changes everything and no one says a word about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's be honest here: every single day this man proves he hates our country and love muslims. He hates Israel and is watching patiently as Iran develops the nuclear weapons they will need to attack Israel and/or us. He will go down in history as the worst president our nation has ever known, and the biggest tyrant we've had since King George in 1776.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;George Bush is President as a hurricane hits Louisiana and suddenly everyone screams racism and says he hates black people because he doesn't work to get them dry fast enough, yet obama has done absolutely &lt;i&gt;nothing &lt;/i&gt;to help stop this oil spill that has hit all of the Gulf states today...and yet no one says he hates black people or white people or anything. No blame for obama for doing nothing? Katrina took a while to clean up, but it got done. This oil spill is still going on with clean up that will be ongoing as long as it keeps pouring into the ocean, yet our leader is more concerned with his muslim friends more than cleaning stuff up.

Turkey is calling for severe penalties, Iran is screaming for the U.N. to "cut off Israel's hands", and it's only a matter of time before the U.N. "impartial" investigation reads against Israel. At that point hussein will step in and condemn Israel's actions and say the only path to peace is to give up Jerusalem. It won't be pretty for any of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read&lt;a href="http://papundits.wordpress.com/2010/06/01/israels-next-war-begins/"&gt; this article for further information&lt;/a&gt; about this and what's coming next for Israel.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On another note, Turkey's sudden turn against Israel this week is not a surprise. I just finished reading a book by Mark Hitchcock called&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Claims-Bible-Prophecy-Uncertain/dp/0736926453/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1275398423&amp;amp;sr=1-1-fkmr1"&gt; "The Amazing Claims of Bible Prophecy" &lt;/a&gt;and there was an entire chapter devoted to how Turkey would have to eventually turn against Israel. What was so amazing was how it happened so quickly after I read the book. If you are interested in where things are going from here according to the Bible, then you need to pick up the book.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-1967196907202688239?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/1967196907202688239/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=1967196907202688239&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/1967196907202688239'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/1967196907202688239'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2010/06/well-this-is-it.html' title='Well, This Is It'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-6063039740340346801</id><published>2010-05-27T14:28:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-05-27T14:28:33.855-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Let's All Protect the Terrorists</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S_6_exRSfzI/AAAAAAAACcU/PlCEl9jHjoU/s1600/20090723-town-hall.ss_full.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S_6_exRSfzI/AAAAAAAACcU/PlCEl9jHjoU/s200/20090723-town-hall.ss_full.jpg" width="190" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;After reading &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/05/27/counterterror-adviser-defends-jihad-legitimate-tenet-islam/"&gt;what our counterterrorism leader is saying about "jihad"&lt;/a&gt; being "not a bad thing" and nothing religious about it, my stomach is seriously attempting to bring up my lunch. This is yet another blatantly obvious action by our muslim prez to soften the image of his religion of killers and bombers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is seriously doing all the damage control he possibly can to make sure the world doesn't think of islam as a bad thing, or think of muslims as terrorists.&lt;b&gt; I can just hear the crap coming out of his mouth now: &lt;/b&gt;"Yes, they strap bombs to their chests and blow people up. Yes, they hijack airplanes and fly them into buildings. But let us never lose sight of the fact that they are people and we as Americans are oppressing them and forcing them into it.

type='text'>Who Will be Blamed for the Times Square Bomb?</title><content type='html'>The big news this weekend was the way New York dodged the bullet with a car bomb set up in Times Square that did not go off. As the New York police chief was holding his press conference yesterday and trying to say again and again they saw "a white guy" on tape leaving the van, and that it was not officially a terrorist act, the taliban in Pakistan was already laying claim to the bombing attempt and saying there would be more to come. While the NYPD was saying it wasn't a terrorist act, the terrorists were saying it was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So who will ultimately be blamed for it? Given obama's recent plea to everyone &lt;i&gt;but &lt;/i&gt;white males for votes in the upcoming election, it's safe to say they are going to do everything they can to pin this bombing on the Tea Party Movement. Just wait and see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why would they do that? Well, the people are calling obama on the carpet for the wasteful spending he's doing, the socialist leanings he is clearly taking America toward, and his general craziness as of late as he leans toward a dictatorship of our country. The problem is that he can't disprove anything they're saying. Oh, he makes fun of them and calls them names, but he can't provide any concrete rebuttal to what they are saying. Even as the reports continued to pour in last week about the rising costs of obamacare and how the figures were available to the Senators before the vote but was ignored, obama was still saying it was a good idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S972jBc2BZI/AAAAAAAACcM/DuFBFiTZIps/s1600/020310_obamanh_doomsday_604x341.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="113" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S972jBc2BZI/AAAAAAAACcM/DuFBFiTZIps/s200/020310_obamanh_doomsday_604x341.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;So how do you discredit a powerful movement that is bringing to light every evil sin you are committing if what they are saying is true? Easy, you brand them as crazy radicals and dangerous terrorists. obama has gone out of his way time and again to make sure his muslim brothers are not branded as terrorists for anything they do, so you aren't going to see them blamed for Saturday night's attempt. Instead, &lt;b&gt;obama will continue to harp on the hunt for "a white man" seen there, and will eventually uncover some sort of ties to the "dangerous Tea Party Movement".&lt;/b&gt; After some made-up evidence is brought out (after all, he can make up anything he wants to if he needs it, as we've seen with obamacare) the Tea Party Movement will be branded a terrorist organization and disbanded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could be wrong, and I'm man enough to admit it, but this whole thing just smacks of suspicion to me. It's all too conveniently placed. obama and democrats needed a solution to discredit the "teabaggers", and I think this is what their guys came up with. Even as terrorist organizations all over the world are scrambling to take credit for this, authorities are saying again and again this isn't from some organized terrorist group...like it's some kind of new group to deal with. The problem they have is that the &lt;i&gt;real &lt;/i&gt;bad guys won't leave them alone long enough to plant the evidence to discredit the Tea Partiers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll see what happens. I hope I'm wrong, but given obama's cold-hearted tactics toward all who oppose his regime it seems very likely.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-4563507734395646793?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/4563507734395646793/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=4563507734395646793&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/4563507734395646793'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/4563507734395646793'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2010/05/who-will-be-blamed-for-times-square.html' title='Who Will be Blamed for the Times Square Bomb?'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S972jBc2BZI/AAAAAAAACcM/DuFBFiTZIps/s72-c/020310_obamanh_doomsday_604x341.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-1887067379143094163</id><published>2010-04-08T17:12:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-04-08T17:12:39.385-05:00</updated><title type='text'>So You Think I've Been Rough Calling Him a Muslim?</title><content type='html'>&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tCAffMSWSzY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tCAffMSWSzY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At which point do we wake up and stand up for Christianity again?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-1887067379143094163?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/1887067379143094163/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=1887067379143094163&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/1887067379143094163'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/1887067379143094163'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2010/04/so-you-think-ive-been-rough-calling-him.html' title='So You Think I&apos;ve Been Rough Calling Him a Muslim?'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-1802672641729249908</id><published>2010-04-07T17:10:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-04-07T17:10:48.941-05:00</updated><title type='text'>They May Be Muslim, But They Aren't Terrorists Anymore...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S70CRG54x3I/AAAAAAAACak/gqJp9Zkonro/s1600/the+real+american+terrorist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S70CRG54x3I/AAAAAAAACak/gqJp9Zkonro/s200/the+real+american+terrorist.jpg" width="178" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;barack hussein obama has released his newest strategic document for the United States, and guess who is no longer mentioned?

I do not believe obama is the anti-Christ, and I have never said so. I don't think he's smart enough to take on that role. I believe he could be a great leader, but he refuses to listen to anyone who disagrees with his viewpoints and instead takes a very antagonistic approach to those of differing opinions from his own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S7PH9Ixfq4I/AAAAAAAACaE/blfuTuLgNSk/s1600/13.ss_full.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="218" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S7PH9Ixfq4I/AAAAAAAACaE/blfuTuLgNSk/s320/13.ss_full.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;His socialist viewpoints have been obvious from his earliest political career, and this was brought to the forefront during his election campaign by numerous sources, however the media was so in love with him then that they ignored every bit of negative information about him. It stands to reason then that all he's doing is furthering the socialist agenda as he has done all his life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a man who has never run a Burger King, yet a majority elected him ruler of what was at one time the most powerful nation on Earth. Thanks to obama's leadership, we are now considered a nation of fools and looked down upon by every other country on the planet. We even do our best to cater to countries who openly hate us, trying to gain their approval that will never be coming while at the same time insulting nations who are our allies like Israel and Australia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That being said, I do not believe he is the anti-Christ or the false prophet, or whoever. Could he be used to bring about the eventual downfall of our nation? I believe his first year in office says it all better than I could ever hope to answer. Still, for his ignorance and arrogance, I believe history will show his presidency as the worst in U.S. history, or at the very least the most controversial. The only way he will get re-elected will be if he rigs the election, which would not surprise me in the least. The way he shoved the health care bill through just shows he will do whatever it takes to have his way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God can still deliver us and bring us through this crazy 4 years. Don't give up praying for Divine help. He is always near when we call.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-6987871108950441982?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/6987871108950441982/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=6987871108950441982&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/6987871108950441982'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/6987871108950441982'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2010/04/let-me-clarify-something.html' title='Let Me Clarify Something'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S7PH9Ixfq4I/AAAAAAAACaE/blfuTuLgNSk/s72-c/13.ss_full.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-7945348953846409222</id><published>2010-03-31T11:38:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-31T17:15:25.812-05:00</updated><title type='text'>And So It Begins...</title><content type='html'>Since beginning this blog I've declared how obama will eventually suppress Christianity and turn Christians into the bad guys. We don't strap bombs to our chest or fly planes into buildings, but we are the natural opposition to his socialist agenda and in order to stop us he will have to vilify us. The first "shot" was fired this week, as &lt;a href="http://hotair.com/greenroom/archives/2010/03/30/janet-napolitano-keeping-us-safe-from-captain-hutaree/"&gt;the FBI stepped in to stop this crazy "Christian" militia group of 8 people&lt;/a&gt;, saying they were dangerous. Even the other militia groups out there called these folks crazy, which shows you this wasn't just a normal group of disgruntled voters out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, understand that the government knows of (and there are even YouTube videos of) at least 30 active Muslim training camps in the Northeastern part of the U.S. The videos on YouTube show them teaching women how to slit a person's throat, and show them marching around with guns in military exercises. The government has done nothing to them because the camps are black muslims, which leads the government to the sticky situation of a racial religious persecution claim. One way or another, they fear being sued and therefore will do nothing about the camps, even though they are obviously up to no good and aren't out there learning how to kill people and create bombs just for those lazy Saturday afternoons when you don't have anything better to do. Not being racist here, just showing the double standard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead, the focus now is on Christians as a whole, thanks to this group of 8 people the Feds took down this week. We are &lt;i&gt;all &lt;/i&gt;being branded as dangerous, and the right-wing protesters are now "fanatical" and "crazy". Cornel West, the socialist who has been a recent adviser to obama, &lt;a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=134417"&gt;spoke at a roundtable event on CSPAN&lt;/a&gt; this week, saying, "There are a number of highly misguided right-wing white brothers and  sisters who are engaged in assault and attack and could even attempt to  kill him (Obama). So we have to protect our brother. There's no doubt  about that. And we have to keep track of those forces that will lie and  degrade. ... He is our brother. He needs to be protected."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice here that it is "right-wing &lt;i&gt;white &lt;/i&gt;brothers and sisters" brought to the front. I'm sorry, but racism is not a one-way street. How do you think it would go over to have John McCain get on CSPAN and say, "There are some dangerous left-wing &lt;i&gt;black &lt;/i&gt;people out there"? He'd be branded a racist and Al Sharpton would be marching down the streets of Washington demanding his head!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S7N3qgoxQYI/AAAAAAAACZ8/h3R87DT7z2g/s1600/022510_obama_doomsday_604x341.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="113" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S7N3qgoxQYI/AAAAAAAACZ8/h3R87DT7z2g/s200/022510_obama_doomsday_604x341.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Simply put, obama flagrantly spat in the face of Americans everywhere last week when he destroyed our health care "for our own good". Now, after spending weeks on the defensive, he has decided to go on the offense and destroy everything the opposition says by branding them all as crazy, dangerous, right-wing Christian white folks. &lt;a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=%20133821"&gt;The only way to silence their valid opposition to his crazy antics is to brand them all lunatics and turn them into America's enemies.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just wait, this is only the beginning. Just as it is now illegal for preachers to say homosexuality is a sin according to the Bible (that's hate speech, you know), soon we will all face persecution for Christian beliefs. Muslims can call us infidels and scream for us to die, but Christians cannot express an opinion on their beliefs. The Bible is plain and clear about the future of world in Revelation, though America has always been conspicuously absent from any of those prophecies. That always seemed strange to me since we were a Christian nation, but as things progress our grand and glorious leader obama will proudly march America away from God and those dangerous Christian principles so we can embrace the teachings of whatever he deems the approved religion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8 crazy people who called themselves Christians do not represent the rest of us.&lt;b&gt; &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Isn't it odd that the politicians will say 100,000 people standing in Washington's streets with signs protesting the health care bill do not represent the majority of Americans, but 8 crazy militia people who say they were Christians do represent all the rest of us?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-7945348953846409222?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/7945348953846409222/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=7945348953846409222&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/7945348953846409222'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/7945348953846409222'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2010/03/and-so-it-begins.html' title='And So It Begins...'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S7N3qgoxQYI/AAAAAAAACZ8/h3R87DT7z2g/s72-c/022510_obama_doomsday_604x341.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-8579857428956287745</id><published>2010-03-22T08:44:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-22T08:44:22.490-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obamacare'/><title type='text'>Sunday Bloody Sunday 2010</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S6dyFMcUs4I/AAAAAAAACZc/hRXS0Aq9HEU/s1600-h/healthcare+death.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="281" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S6dyFMcUs4I/AAAAAAAACZc/hRXS0Aq9HEU/s400/healthcare+death.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congratulations to barack insane obama, who single-handedly killed the greatest health care system in the world, and has taken the first real step toward creating the United Socialist States of Amerika.

The mad dictator in the White House finally forced his policies on the U.S. despite what the vast majority of Americans said they wanted. He sacrificed the 86% of us who had health care just to give it to 13% of the people who didn't for various reasons. Rather than make it affordable for everyone who worked to get it, he's forced it on all of us with threats of fines. Now it becomes a choice...is it actually worth it to work and pay for health care, or does it make more sense just to get on unemployment and other government assistance programs and become a leech on the dying body of America? I think I know what most folks will choose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We knew we'd lost when they started saying yesterday that the protestors were racists and threatening them and such. It was all a bunch of lies, but the spineless democraps had run out of valid reasons to pass the overpriced, crooked, behind-the-scenes-dealing health destruction bill and needed something to take the focus off of what they were actually doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this is step 1 in the dictatorship. Next, chairman hussein will either go after guns or most likely he will try to find a way to regulate food sales. If the government can control our food supply next, they will successfully cripple us further. We are on our way to a socialist state. Soon Christianity will become outlawed as he pushes us toward government approved religion (and it's easy to figure out what that will be).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who are putting their hope in "Appeal" come November, it will not happen. They have shown us that they will do whatever it takes to pass whatever they want to, and there is no way he will ever allow that to be repealed. I still say he will find a way to take the 2012 elections away from our hands, but time will tell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need to seriously be praying for mercy from God for our nation. God please help us live through this horrible dictatorship that is out to destroy our freedoms. Please, God, show our nation mercy and help us find You again.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-3330163935905371032?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/3330163935905371032/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=3330163935905371032&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/3330163935905371032'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/3330163935905371032'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2010/03/now-they-control-healthcarewhat-next.html' title='Now They Control Healthcare...What Next?'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S6YKg2kXW-I/AAAAAAAACZU/8L-yBYfKSag/s72-c/20091116_obamao.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-1005254419081512580</id><published>2010-03-19T13:34:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-19T13:34:14.730-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obamacare'/><title type='text'>Who Will Pay the Price?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S6PB7QYyipI/AAAAAAAACZM/3TjNfz9L_Ug/s1600-h/3187.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S6PB7QYyipI/AAAAAAAACZM/3TjNfz9L_Ug/s200/3187.jpg" width="197" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;With obama's dictatorship almost complete thanks to his takeover of our health care system, you've probably heard the lies going around at how this won't affect you unless you&amp;nbsp; make a combined income of $250k or more. Well, that's just not true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aei.org/article/101796"&gt;Read this article to find out how this will affect you&lt;/a&gt;...and probably end up costing you your health insurance altogether.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep in mind that this is directly slanted to destroy the average middle class family and drive them into the poverty group. This allows the government to continue its work toward Socialism, and finally Communism. Make no mistake, this is exactly where that madman wants us to go. He will destroy this nation.&amp;nbsp; He hates us and always has, wanting to turn our system into one in which he can declare himself supreme ruler just like North Korea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He couldn't pass this bill through any normal channels, and the democrats seem to &lt;i&gt;revel &lt;/i&gt;in the fact that they are going to force this through right in the face of the American public.&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt; If Bush had attempted anything approaching this, people would have screamed for him to be impeached, but nothing is being said about hussein's tactics. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing is this: Even if we can get the demos out of control in November's election, they still will be in control until January 20, 2011, when the new people are sworn in. This gives obama the ability to push through any other legislature he wants to for almost a year, knowing that he can just go around the normal channels if he sees fit to do so. Will our nation ever recover from his horrible, twisted leadership? It will take an act of God to save us and our nation at this rate.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-1005254419081512580?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/1005254419081512580/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=1005254419081512580&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/1005254419081512580'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/1005254419081512580'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2010/03/who-will-pay-price.html' title='Who Will Pay the Price?'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S6PB7QYyipI/AAAAAAAACZM/3TjNfz9L_Ug/s72-c/3187.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-4846629453144705422</id><published>2010-03-11T09:56:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-03-11T09:56:45.645-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Don't Turn Our Backs On Israel!</title><content type='html'>With &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/11/biden-better-friend-israel/?test=latestnews"&gt;Biden's recent visit to Israel seeming like a bust&lt;/a&gt;, it's important to understand why it was: America is pandering to the Palestinians while trying to bully Israel into giving up land and even sectioning off Jerusalem! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is this such a big deal? Why are we wrong to try and push the Palestinians into Israel's territory? Let's put it into perspective for you:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S5kRntAXHaI/AAAAAAAACVM/ecgNwcciEhc/s1600-h/chucknorris.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S5kRntAXHaI/AAAAAAAACVM/ecgNwcciEhc/s200/chucknorris.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;First, you must imagine a U.S.A. governed by a President with a backbone and a brain, both of which our current leader has demonstrated time and again he does not have. So for the sake of argument, let's call our President "Chuck Norris". Here's how it would work:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al Queda decides it wants Texas. It has no legal claim on Texas, other than just deciding it wants it. So Al Queda begins to move in with people and annexing land. President Chuck is not happy about it and decides to fight back with missiles, bullets, soldiers and whatever else it takes to help Al Queda understand its boundaries and that it has no right to the land it is trying to move into.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let's say the King of England (I know he's dead, but work with me) comes to America and assures the Al Queda that he will get them Texas. He tells President Chuck that he's wrong and demands that Chuck hand over Texas and half of Washington D.C. to Al Queda. Do you see where this could cause some tension?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, if this scenario played out in real life with obama in charge, he'd apologize for being such a horrible nation, bow down to the Al Queda leader and hand them over as much land as they wanted. He's like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America must not turn its back on Israel! The Bible promises again and again blessings on those who help Israel and curses on those nations that turn against it. We have always been Israel's ally, and I realize the election of a muslim president didn't help their cause, but we must hold out until 2012 when we can elect a new and better man for President. We cannot turn our backs on them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I understand that the Bible is clear that in the end Israel will stand completely alone in the battle of Armaggedon, which will mean the U.S. will either not be interested in helping or will not be able to due to some catastrophe, but we don't have to make this a reality now! We can continue to help them and we should do so. Turning our backs on them or worse, turning against them, will bring this nation under without the grace of God.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-4846629453144705422?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/4846629453144705422/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=4846629453144705422&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/4846629453144705422'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/4846629453144705422'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2010/03/dont-turn-our-backs-on-israel.html' title='Don&apos;t Turn Our Backs On Israel!'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S5kRntAXHaI/AAAAAAAACVM/ecgNwcciEhc/s72-c/chucknorris.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-8483084912838684914</id><published>2010-02-25T08:07:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-02-25T08:07:23.071-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obamacare'/><title type='text'>Obama to America: "I heard you, I don't care, get over it."</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S4aDzstRXKI/AAAAAAAACRs/xIy8ZziuLkc/s1600-h/3187.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S4aDzstRXKI/AAAAAAAACRs/xIy8ZziuLkc/s200/3187.jpg" width="198" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I believe the way the American system goes is that you elect someone to represent you, and they do what just that. The way you represent someone is to listen to them, and do what the majority asks. obama has chosen to do exactly the opposite, choosing today to begin his socialized health-care push once again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Demos are taking a different slant this time as they prepare for "reconciliation", which will allow them to push the bill through anyway without the 60 votes they needed earlier (and now have lost thanks to the election of Scott Brown). Here's the funny part though:&lt;i&gt; the Demos are saying the Republicans are the villains here, and will use this to say they are trying some "end run" around the system to pass their bill&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;But that is exactly what they are doing!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Demos were content to push their bill through with normal channels before, but the American people said "NO!" and rather than listen to that, they now say "We'll do it another way to make it happen!" All of this in an election year! This is political suicide, plain and simple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On top of all that, the obama dictatorship announced yesterday plans for his re-election campaign in 2012. Don't you just love the audacity of this guy? He's proving every single day that he doesn't care what the American people want, that he hates America as a whole, and that he has no common sense at all about running a hot dog stand, let alone an entire nation--and &lt;i&gt;still &lt;/i&gt;he's planning on trying for a second term! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you push this health care down our throats, you can save your money on the re-election campaign. Yes, there are people who would vote for you no matter how stupid you were, but the majority will tell you to go home.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-8483084912838684914?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/8483084912838684914/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=8483084912838684914&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/8483084912838684914'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/8483084912838684914'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2010/02/obama-to-america-i-heard-you-i-dont.html' title='Obama to America: &quot;I heard you, I don&apos;t care, get over it.&quot;'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S4aDzstRXKI/AAAAAAAACRs/xIy8ZziuLkc/s72-c/3187.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-8705430036008319936</id><published>2010-01-28T09:26:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-01-28T09:26:42.966-06:00</updated><title type='text'>More Talk From the Talkiest Prez Ever!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S2GrEO-uEEI/AAAAAAAACOI/wCBmJw4PAw0/s1600-h/20090723-town-hall.ss_full.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S2GrEO-uEEI/AAAAAAAACOI/wCBmJw4PAw0/s200/20090723-town-hall.ss_full.jpg" width="190" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Last night's wonderful short story read by hussein was titled "The State of the Union Address". It was filled with wonderful moments of praise for an administration that has, to date, accomplished&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt; absolutely nothing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; at all of worth. It was hard for him to blame the Republicans for everything&lt;b&gt; since he had a Democratic control of all three branches of government until last week and still did nothing&lt;/b&gt;, but he found the way anyhow with his wonderful "Saying no may be good for the moment, but it's not good leadership" statement. After all, what Democrat in office today has the guts to say "no" to anything the prez says? If they tried, Pelosi would personally shank them in the hall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let's see what we have going here from this "great leader". When the muslim terrorists (yep, that's what they were) flew the planes into the WTC in 2001, Bush stood up and sent our men in there to blast their butts and show them attacking America was stupid. When a muslim terrorist (yep, that's what he was) tried to blow up a plane full of folks on Christmas day, our prez did nothing. When Osama Bin Laden sent a tape&lt;i&gt; personally taking credit for ordering the attack&lt;/i&gt; (kind of hard to say, "We don't know for certain it was a muslim terrorist" when they &lt;i&gt;take credit&lt;/i&gt; for it on tape), our prez did nothing. Bin Laden even said there were more attacks coming, and our president makes his &lt;i&gt;414th speech since taking office&lt;/i&gt; (no exaggeration there, it's the actual number) and does nothing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S2Gr7JVavlI/AAAAAAAACOQ/AZnHnJ5xU6w/s1600-h/20100107-2010-01-05-humor-motivation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S2Gr7JVavlI/AAAAAAAACOQ/AZnHnJ5xU6w/s320/20100107-2010-01-05-humor-motivation.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it's official, the terrorists know they can attack us and we'll do nothing in response because our president is officially a paper doll. No substance, no backbone, nothing but image. What you see is it. There's no depth there, and he will spend his next three years in office accomplishing absolutely zip--and blaming the Republicans all along the way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We said we didn't want health care, even to the point of voting a Republican into a Democratic controlled state, and still he's trying to find a way to get it passed. I can't remember a President in history that has to blatantly told the American public "Up yours!" and still has followers. I have no clue what it would take to convince those zombies that he doesn't care anything about America. Some people are just sheep for life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the rest of us, we see it as it is. obama, just try to leave us a nation to pass on to the next President in three years when you are voted out of office.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-8705430036008319936?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/8705430036008319936/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=8705430036008319936&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/8705430036008319936'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/8705430036008319936'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2010/01/more-talk-from-talkiest-prez-ever.html' title='More Talk From the Talkiest Prez Ever!'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S2GrEO-uEEI/AAAAAAAACOI/wCBmJw4PAw0/s72-c/20090723-town-hall.ss_full.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-3808455475363091040</id><published>2010-01-20T17:34:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-01-20T17:34:03.533-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obamacare'/><title type='text'>Obama to the people: "I heard you...now shut up!"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S1eRv6SpEnI/AAAAAAAACOA/W4PeF_NsbzQ/s1600-h/2010-01-20t072614z_01_btre60j0ko800_rtroptp_3_usa.h2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="145" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S1eRv6SpEnI/AAAAAAAACOA/W4PeF_NsbzQ/s200/2010-01-20t072614z_01_btre60j0ko800_rtroptp_3_usa.h2.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;After the stunning loss of a long-held Democratic state last night to Republican Scott Brown, many Democrats this morning were ready to call for a slow-down on the health care destruction bill. It became painfully obvious that the people were not going to take lightly to any politician who ignored their words of "stop it!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, that wacky White House resident and our current dictator hussein obama is pushing his flunkies to get that bill through now before Brown can be sworn in to stop it. It's sad, but funny in a way...the people spoke with their votes, and &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;still &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;it's not enough to get through that thick head of his that we don't want anyone messing with our health care system!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If he rams this bill through, then it will be a blatant slap in the face of every American out there. He will be purposefully circumventing the political system as it stands in an attempt to have his way like some spoiled little child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know how much clearer we can put it, but here it is: &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;We do not want you messing with our health care!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Go apologize to some other nation for America or bow to a foreign dignitary or something, but just leave our health care alone! You'll only have to "suffer" as leader of this nation for another three years and we'll vote you out of office too (provided he still allows us to vote in the future...which is doubtful).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-3808455475363091040?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/3808455475363091040/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=3808455475363091040&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/3808455475363091040'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/3808455475363091040'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2010/01/obama-to-people-i-heard-younow-shut-up.html' title='Obama to the people: &quot;I heard you...now shut up!&quot;'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S1eRv6SpEnI/AAAAAAAACOA/W4PeF_NsbzQ/s72-c/2010-01-20t072614z_01_btre60j0ko800_rtroptp_3_usa.h2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-8037644839667758434</id><published>2010-01-19T16:38:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-01-19T16:38:19.474-06:00</updated><title type='text'>The Truth and the Consequences</title><content type='html'>This was posted on the Fox News website and I think it needs to be read by everyone.

This time it was from Atlanta to San Francisco, and they had to land because he went to the bathroom and wouldn't come out. So has our commander-in-chief stepped boldly forward and said he will up airport security toward those who are obviously Muslim (names like Muhammed sort of give it away)? Nope. He's blaming the system and the American people for this lapse in security. It's not the Muslim's fault for trying to cause problems...it's still the nation he rules as our prez.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can understand the problem with profiling. I can see where this could be uncomfortable with some folks, but let's be honest: if you were on a flight and you saw someone suspicious enter the plane you'd feel better if you knew they'd been carefully screened, wouldn't you? If they stood up mid-flight, you'd be nervous. In the past few months things have really stepped up in their displays of disruption in flights, and it's obvious they're just insulting the American people because they know our muslim president will not take action against them or stand up to them. I hope there's still an&amp;nbsp; American left when we vote him out of office in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S0tHqFRu-UI/AAAAAAAACNg/O9Vg7tlnUHk/s1600-h/varv01062010a20100106020328.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S0tHqFRu-UI/AAAAAAAACNg/O9Vg7tlnUHk/s320/varv01062010a20100106020328.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;How about those healthcare discussions that were supposed to be "transparent"? Here they are carefully plotting the destruction of our healthcare and rationing of doctor visits, and obama has backtracked on what he said over 20 times in his campaign. He will not allow the public to hear what they're discussing because he has come to the sudden realization that if the people really knew what was going on behind those doors they'd try to shut him down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that we could do anything about it. The demonstrations, letters, and faxes to the Senators and Congressmen did nothing to slow them down. They told their constituents to stick it and voted the way Reid and Pelosi told them to. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What it boils down to is the fact that we have nothing going for us right now except the fact that it's possible to get the healthcare repealed before it can actually take effect. If we can get some folks in there with backbones&amp;nbsp; that care about the people they were elected to represent, then maybe we can&amp;nbsp; make a comeback.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-9047336598037467372?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/9047336598037467372/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=9047336598037467372&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/9047336598037467372'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/9047336598037467372'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2010/01/prez-still-doesnt-get-it.html' title='The Prez Still Doesn&apos;t Get It'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/S0tIVFvG3tI/AAAAAAAACNo/-lNkq1eWobg/s72-c/mrz011110dAPR20100109032024.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-8853178513518096329</id><published>2009-12-27T08:47:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-12-27T08:47:01.694-06:00</updated><title type='text'>A Scary Future</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SzDchDg1ANI/AAAAAAAACIw/Isc-KJ2vgwE/s1600-h/3187.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SzDchDg1ANI/AAAAAAAACIw/Isc-KJ2vgwE/s200/3187.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This is an online game I just found, but the timeline it mentions is terrifyingly accurate to today.

I'm doing what I want to!", would you take it? Nope, you'd fire their sorry butt. The Senate decided over the weekend to go ahead despite millions of negative comments by their constituents saying not to vote for the health care destruction bill. Every single Democrat said yes, &lt;i&gt;giving the finger to the very people they are supposed to be representing&lt;/i&gt;. That being said, I think most people in those Democratic states should get a free ride on taxes next year. There is supposed to be "no taxation withour representation", but if your representative isn't actually representing you that means you don't have one. Enjoy a year of no taxes, guys!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next year will not be an election, it will be a political slaughter. The Democrats shouldn't even bother spending time on the campaign trail, but should just go ahead and start packing today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why on earth would you give up your entire professional career just to say you voted with the most unpopular president in recent U.S. history? They know this vote is political suicide, yet they're going to do it anyway?

The people have spoken in rally after rally after "town hall meeting", and yet these Demos are saying "We hear you, but screw you...hussein said do it and we're doing it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let this serve as your notice.

Despite what literally &lt;i&gt;millions and millions&lt;/i&gt; of American voters have said and expressed to their elected representatives about &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;not &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;doing this, they are going ahead with it anyway.

Keep in mind, this is OUR health care, not his. If those two kids of his get sick, they see a doctor immediately. Your children, on the other hand, will wait for a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Get every single one of those people out of office in 2010!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; And get that crazy muslim out of the White House in 2012--if we are still allowed to vote by then. You think I'm joking, but wait and see...your right to vote is the next thing on his list to take down. He's in office now and has no plans to leave peacefully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now Iran has thumbed their nose at us and started taking oil wells. The world has no respect for America anymore because they know hussein will do nothing to stop them but complain about their greenhouse gasses. We gave you a chance to prove yourselves, democrats, and this is what you've done to us. Screaming "Change!" at every rally you have will only backfire on you now. It will become the Republican battle cry in 2010.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-8199145120953538356?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/8199145120953538356/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=8199145120953538356&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/8199145120953538356'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/8199145120953538356'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2009/12/kiss-your-family-goodbye.html' title='Kiss Your Family Goodbye!'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/Sy0Z0ZInHhI/AAAAAAAACII/v3cQqqZB-r8/s72-c/4192707971_a740903fda_o.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-4077006880092247699</id><published>2009-11-23T15:32:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-23T15:33:27.436-06:00</updated><title type='text'>SNL's Obama Skit</title><content type='html'>As promised, further proof that Saturday Night Live can be funny:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/4b0afa1e6cffe28a/4b0969c709961fed/4c49bc8f/-cpid/d71db494133f3a25" id="W4727a250e66f97234b0afa1e6cffe28a" width="384" height="283"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/4b0afa1e6cffe28a/4b0969c709961fed/4c49bc8f/-cpid/d71db494133f3a25"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;param name="allowNetworking" value="all"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch for CNN's hour-long rebuttal special later this week.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-4077006880092247699?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/4077006880092247699/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=4077006880092247699&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/4077006880092247699'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/4077006880092247699'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2009/11/snls-obama-skit.html' title='SNL&apos;s Obama Skit'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-1864467034245692139</id><published>2009-11-22T13:00:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-22T13:00:00.907-06:00</updated><title type='text'>SNL Does It Again</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/Swk2FerPxsI/AAAAAAAACFo/awgCO-kITQQ/s1600/OBAMA-SNL-large.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 146px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/Swk2FerPxsI/AAAAAAAACFo/awgCO-kITQQ/s200/OBAMA-SNL-large.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406912295396689602" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;You've got to hand it to Saturday Night Live: sometimes they can really be truthful and awesome. Take the SNL obama "What have I accomplished? Nothing!" skit. That was so funny and so truthful that CNN actually did an entire segment devoted to fact-checking it! An SNL skit! Did they ever fact check a Bush skit? Nope, but talk about their glorious dictator and they jump to his rescue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night, SNL did it again with a hilarious skit involving obama's trip to China. This "press conference skit" was once again dead-on and even better than their previous work. Of course, this week will be filled with rebuttals by CNN as they try to shut down SNL from trying that stuff again, but I'm routing for them. Maybe if they keep showing how much of a fool the rest of the world sees this "leader" as, more folks will take notice to the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, there are those who will never vote against him no matter what he does, but then there is that majority that voted for him based on the image projected by the media. Keep it up, SNL! It's hilarious!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As soon as Hulu puts it up, we'll post the skit here so everyone can enjoy it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-1864467034245692139?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/1864467034245692139/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=1864467034245692139&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/1864467034245692139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/1864467034245692139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2009/11/snl-does-it-again.html' title='SNL Does It Again'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/Swk2FerPxsI/AAAAAAAACFo/awgCO-kITQQ/s72-c/OBAMA-SNL-large.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-929926979455890297</id><published>2009-11-21T22:14:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-21T22:28:51.135-06:00</updated><title type='text'>The Death of Your Health Care</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/Swi8nfXul9I/AAAAAAAACFg/YPr-V4TruCg/s1600/cuba-health-care.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 216px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/Swi8nfXul9I/AAAAAAAACFg/YPr-V4TruCg/s320/cuba-health-care.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406778739280222162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Well, those cowardly Senators did their duty tonight and made sure this 2000+ page health care reform bill got out there. They won't let anyone--that includes you, the voter--have time to read and study this bill. Instead, they crank it out Wednesday night and demand a vote on Sunday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;They continually ignore the protests of the very people they are supposed to be representing.&lt;/span&gt; They are there to vote as their constituents tell them to...but they are saying "Forget you! This is all about showing the world obama can actually get &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;something &lt;/span&gt;done!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His entire presidency hangs upon this health care destruction. The world has no respect for him, the voters have no respect for him. He needs just one single thing he can point to for the rest of his term and say, "See? I did manage to get &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;that &lt;/span&gt;done!" To him, that one thing is now health care reform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week my wife went to the doctor because she was coughing and was sick. She got an appointment the same day she called and got medicine for the cold. Under hussein's destruction of health care, that will be a six-month wait if she's lucky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senators, you may be able to say you passed this horrible bill to destroy our nation's health care just to gain that 10% of the vote from those who refuse to work, but it will cost you your position in the long run. You have proven that you do not care about the people you were elected to represent. It's one thing to spread lies that we can't disprove; it's another thing completely to spit in their faces. You will not be coming back after next year's elections.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-929926979455890297?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/929926979455890297/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=929926979455890297&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/929926979455890297'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/929926979455890297'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2009/11/death-of-your-health-care.html' title='The Death of Your Health Care'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/Swi8nfXul9I/AAAAAAAACFg/YPr-V4TruCg/s72-c/cuba-health-care.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-3377172941845791559</id><published>2009-11-15T09:02:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-15T09:02:00.149-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obamacare'/><title type='text'>How Do You Dodge a Question?

Those who truly are peaceful with no ties to terrorism can worship as they will, but the vast majority of them who are openly plotting for the destruction of America are now welcome to leave.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-6850652820687231757?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/6850652820687231757/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=6850652820687231757&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/6850652820687231757'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/6850652820687231757'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2009/11/finally-we-strike-back.html' title='Finally, we strike back!'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/Sv1Z64AovsI/AAAAAAAACE0/G4MfeRFMZuQ/s72-c/sgen49l.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-8357692437608855935</id><published>2009-11-08T14:49:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-08T14:49:00.183-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Congratulations, Pelosi!

No more obama blow-up dolls for her! She's going to demand the real thing since she got his medical destruction plan passed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please keep in mind, America, that this health care plan &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;does not apply&lt;/span&gt; to members of Congress or even hussein himself. If Sasha goes into a coma, she gets immediate medical attention. If your child goes into a coma, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;you &lt;/span&gt;get a six-month wait to see a doctor. Got massive headaches that you fear could be a brain anurism? Well, you have 3 trips to the doctor a year thanks to rationing, so you'd better think about it carefully before you have it checked. Meanwhile, Pelosi can go every single day to see a doctor if she feels like it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here's the funny thing: most people just don't care. They see the whole "Ooohhhh, I get free insurance now?" thing and don't even consider the quality of health care it means they'll receive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Birmingham, there are several hospitals that are there just for uninsured people. They have &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;never, ever, at any point in time,&lt;/span&gt; turned away any individual or family who came in seeking medical treatment.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SvbAlGIAKBI/AAAAAAAACEk/6h64tZUxG6A/s1600-h/obamacare.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 207px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SvbAlGIAKBI/AAAAAAAACEk/6h64tZUxG6A/s320/obamacare.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401716546609358866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; So how can you say we had to destroy health care for everyone else just because our dictator says we need it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American voters showed their disgust with this bill time and again in town hall meetings and public demonstrations. The Democrats said, "We hear you, but stuff it! We're voting for it anyway!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck campaigning in January, guys. It's hard to say "I represent you, the voter!" when you've just voted to kill our health care (and not touch your health care at all). Go ahead and clean our your offices.

Ok, then, how about the six that destroyed the WTC? Or the dozens that kill U.S. soldiers everywhere in Afghanistan and those who killed them in Iraq? How about the devout Muslim who beheaded his wife in Seattle (and owned a television station) because she wanted a divorce? Or the wonderful Muslim man who ran over his own daughter last week in Arizona because she was becoming too Westernized (and he called it an "Honor Killing")?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many do we have to have before we're allowed to say, "Hmmmm, there just might be a trend here?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And by the way, the massacre this week was &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;not &lt;/span&gt;the fault of the Army, I'll say it again. The blame rests solely on the shoulders of the Muslim terrorist who killed the men in the base, targeting American soldiers specifically. There is no excuse for him that the Muslims can hide behind. He had been taught to hate Americans as infidels, just as he was supposed to. The difference is that he killed them earlier than planned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this is swept away and blamed on the soldiers who died, you will see this happen on a much bigger scale from other Muslim terrorists. They'll say somebody made fun of them and their beliefs, and therefore it gives them the right to kill dozens of people. Do &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;not &lt;/span&gt;let him get away with this, people! The soldiers were not to blame! The terrorist was! And whatever teaching he was receiving that taught him to hate Americans was to blame. The "religion of peace" really isn't anything about peace at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a pastor speaks against homosexuality, it's branded a hate crime and pastors everywhere are persecuted and threatened for it. When a Muslim screams hatred of Americans, it's "an isolated incident" and the rest demand to be left alone and even apologized to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time to wake up, America.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-2001709218989174690?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/2001709218989174690/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=2001709218989174690&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/2001709218989174690'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/2001709218989174690'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2009/11/poor-widdle-terrorists-part-2.html' title='Poor Widdle Terrorists (part 2)'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-7383462835616697910</id><published>2009-11-07T18:06:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-07T19:03:11.214-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Please Don't Hurt the Muslim's Feelings</title><content type='html'>After this week's horrible shooting at Ft. Hood, the Muslim community there is worried they'll be painted in a bad light by the press. &lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33751407/ns/us_news-the_new_york_times"&gt;Read the full article here&lt;/a&gt;, if you can stomach it. And where is the outrage by the media over this senseless killing of our own soldiers on our own soil? &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SvYQbAnEF0I/AAAAAAAACEc/SUyETxBMlSg/s1600-h/CF02.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SvYQbAnEF0I/AAAAAAAACEc/SUyETxBMlSg/s200/CF02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401522859283846978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Nowhere to be found because the word "Muslim" was involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dumbest thing said by a Muslim in the article? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“When a white guy shoots up a post office, they call that going postal,” said Victor Benjamin II, 30, a former member of the Army. “But when a Muslim does it, they call it jihad."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, when a Muslim screams "Allah Akbar!" before shooting American soldiers (not a shopping mall full of folks, or a bunch of other Muslims in a mosque, or even a herd of wild goats...but specifically targeting &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;American soldiers&lt;/span&gt;)...&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;that &lt;/span&gt;we call jihad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But here's the thing: no one in the Army has called it "jihad". It was a crazy Muslim terrorist act, plain and simple. The Muslims are suddenly adapting this "poor, pitiful, misunderstood us" act in an attempt to get sympathy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's pretty much the standard answer for Muslims when one of their own shows the true colors of his training and kills Americans. The whole "they don't speak for all of us" thing gets weaker with each attack. Soon it won't hold water at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SvYOiCYPd4I/AAAAAAAACEU/bQ0yw35x6XA/s1600-h/the+real+american+terrorist.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 178px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SvYOiCYPd4I/AAAAAAAACEU/bQ0yw35x6XA/s200/the+real+american+terrorist.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401520780994377602" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Unfortunately, obama is just as quick to defend his Muslim brothers when something like this happens. He spent the first two minutes of his televised appearance talking about his stupid healthcare destruction bill before even mentioning the death of the American soldiers. It's like their deaths were an afterthought to him. He's the most anti-American leader I've ever seen...and he's our president!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then we have the &lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33754750/ns/us_news-life"&gt;town in Connecticut that refuses to allow "Muslim terrorists" to be placed on a memorial marker&lt;/a&gt; because they feel it would be hurtful to Muslims. Again, poor, pitiful Muslims who killed thousands of Americans in one day at the World Trade Center almost ten years ago, and who killed several soldiers in Texas this week, are getting a bad rap. We don't want to hurt their feelings by drawing attention to their &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;actions &lt;/span&gt;now, do we?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing that gets me about the Fort Hood article is the way the Muslims and the media are trying to turn it all around and blame &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;the Army&lt;/span&gt; for what happened! It's like saying the rapist is innocent because the victim of the rape asked for it! It's so incredibly stupid and insane, it goes beyond description. We used to be a great nation, but now we have allowed Islam to come in and destroy our nation from within to the point that none of their actions can be blamed on them or on their teachings...instead, it is the fault of the victim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so the question has to be asked: if the terrorist is excused for killing those soldiers because someone said something mean to him and hurt his feelings, does that mean Yankees fans can kill Dodgers fans because they said something mean about their team? Would you excuse a white guy who killed a Muslim that hurt his feelings because the Muslim called him an infidel? Of course not! It's absurd!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no excuse for what that man did. If they hurt his feelings and it excused his brutal murders of those soldiers, then I guess his whole "religion of peace" failed him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At some point America will hopefully stand up and say, "Ok, that's enough." Until then, we have obama to manipulat...ummm, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;guide &lt;/span&gt;our nation.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-7383462835616697910?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/7383462835616697910/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=7383462835616697910&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/7383462835616697910'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/7383462835616697910'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2009/11/please-dont-hurt-muslims-feelings.html' title='Please Don&apos;t Hurt the Muslim&apos;s Feelings'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SvYQbAnEF0I/AAAAAAAACEc/SUyETxBMlSg/s72-c/CF02.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-6033113876664520658</id><published>2009-10-09T08:13:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-10-09T08:25:07.263-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Seriously?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/Ss84iM_y7mI/AAAAAAAAB_k/HLAqJ55WjRU/s1600-h/090425obamathetruth.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 118px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/Ss84iM_y7mI/AAAAAAAAB_k/HLAqJ55WjRU/s200/090425obamathetruth.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390589439241285218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;So &lt;a href="http://apnews.excite.com/article/20091009/D9B7IN1O1.html"&gt;obama won the Nobel Peace Prize&lt;/a&gt;?

This was their way of saying "Nanny, nanny, boo, boo, we don't need you!" and the ultimate spoiled brat move so far. But will they do it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doing so will guarantee in no uncertain terms that every democratic nominee going up for reelection next year will lose. When the American public makes it known that they do not want the bill passed but the politicians say "Forget what you want, we want this bill passed to show how big and bad we are!", then those politicians show they don't care what their constituents want. That means they are useless in representation and will therefore be removed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/So2_-o-B7MI/AAAAAAAAB8w/RmGK547KIB4/s1600-h/Obama%2BStutters%2BAgain.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 149px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/So2_-o-B7MI/AAAAAAAAB8w/RmGK547KIB4/s200/Obama%2BStutters%2BAgain.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372161013393255618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will obama and his madmen succeed in destroying our health care system? I don't know. While the demos may talk big and bad right now, the lifetime politicians in their midst understand what a slap in the face to the American people this move will be. They also understand they will be providing limitless ammo to their political adversaries next year who will basically only have to say "You said you didn't want it, he voted for it...who did he listen to?" and they'll win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With obama's presidency harkening back to the McCarthy Era's "Red Hunt" thanks to the "email those who don't think like we do!" push, they've pretty much nailed their political coffins here. It's all just a matter now of seeing if America can last until next November's elections and the overwhelming sweep of the Republican party to power. obama knows he won't get anything passed after the next election, so he's intent on destroying us as much as possible until then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;democratic politicians need to think long and hard before slamming this bill through over the public's protestations.

Through means we can only imagine (money, threats, or blackmail), he has managed to swing just enough votes to destroy everyone's coverage (except his own...let's make sure you remember that nothing he votes on will touch him or his family).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the fact that the majority of Americans do not want this passed (or at the very least, rushed through before they know what it is), &lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32202195/ns/politics-white_house"&gt;obama is shoving this through&lt;/a&gt;. This is largely due to the fact that confidence in him has dropped to an all-time low and the Republicans were announcing that this would be his Waterloo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a good news/bad news situation. The good news is that it will be the last piece of legislation he is able to have passed in his remaining 3 years of office. After this falls apart, public confidence will tank in almost all areas and no Democrat will be able to support anything he does and hope to be re-elected. The public will put a screeching halt on anything else hussein tries to do, and next November the Demos will be out of the majority rule in Congress and Senate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bad news is that he will destroy your health care forever. Despite the fact that universal health care does not work for any other country on Earth, hussein thinks he's got it right (even though he himself can't explain the intricacies of it in any "town hall" meetings he has). Given his track record of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;"ZERO"&lt;/span&gt; successful decisions since taking office, the way&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SnDR8eIfD1I/AAAAAAAAB6Y/73g0AjLTInw/s1600-h/obamacare.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 130px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SnDR8eIfD1I/AAAAAAAAB6Y/73g0AjLTInw/s200/obamacare.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364017993009270610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; this will end up is not in doubt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you were thinking about having any tests run or checking up on that ache you've been having in your side, you'd better do it now.

Of course, it helps when the leader of Germany is standing right beside you the whole time.

That sounds so much nicer, and it helps hussein continue his "muslim love '09" tour without hurting their image to the average American citizen. To him, 9/11 wasn't the result of muslims out to slay the infidel, but just a few misguided folks who lost their way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flash forward to today. Just a few weeks ago, a man shot an abortion doctor in Kansas during a church service. The man is branded by the media as a "one of those radical Pro-Lifers" by CNN and a "home-grown terrorist" by Fox News. Immediately, organizations like Operation Rescue and Save-A-Life are linked to this "terrorist" even though they had nothing to do with his actions. He was not "a misguided soul who lost his way", but a part of a carefully orchestrated plan to kill every decent medical professional in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, a man shot two people at the Holocaust museum in Washington. Instead of being called what he is (a freaking psycho), he was referred to as a "Right-wing Anti-Semite Radical". He was not a misguided soul who lost his way, but someone who speaks for every single person who dares to think differently from the norm. Don't misunderstand: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I am not condoning his actions, and I do not agree with his views. &lt;/span&gt;But I think it's wrong to say that he represents any group of people. He was a twisted &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;individual &lt;/span&gt;who did something unspeakably horrible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enter Fox News' own Shepard Smith, who went on and on about how this &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SjEN6WZbb6I/AAAAAAAAB3A/3FMyQ5tH03w/s1600-h/shepardsmith31.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 151px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SjEN6WZbb6I/AAAAAAAAB3A/3FMyQ5tH03w/s200/shepardsmith31.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346069528761298850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;man perfectly fits the bill of what Homeland Security should be watching out for: he was a war veteran who was ripe to be recruited by "right-wing radicals" to become a home-grown terrorist. Smith proclaimed again and again how this man proved the government was right and that all war veterans should be seen as potential terrorists in training. He went on to condemn those "crazies" who continue to demand to see obama's birth certificate and commanded them to let it go--even though Hawaii announced last week that the certificate obama has on his site would not be considered valid for a government position in their own state! After he went off the air, Shep went home, put on his pink nightie and fondled his obama blow-up doll, all the while whispering, "I'll protect you, my love."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So looking at Shep's logic, the man &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;was &lt;/span&gt;indeed a war veteran--&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;of World War 2&lt;/span&gt;! If it takes &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;60 years&lt;/span&gt; for those "radical right-wing conservatives" to turn a war veteran into an active terrorist, then by the time the Gulf War vets they're so worried about go active we'll all be too old to care anyway! See how stupid of a stretch it was for Smith to make??? &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Even Glenn Beck, another Fox News host, came on two hours after Smith's show and said, "This is not the work of right-wing conservatives."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This guy is a lone gunman nut job," Beck said. "I'm not stirring the pot. I am pointing out that the pot is boiling and there is trouble in America. ... Common sense tells you that there are very hateful people on the right and on the left."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Either one person speaks for an entire organization or he doesn't. If one lone crazy who shoots a doctor in a church is considered to be speaking for the entirety of Christian Pro-Lifers everywhere, then one muslim who kills a journalist speaks for the entirety of Islam. If a drunk white man in Texas running over a black man is considered a hate crime, then a black man shooting a white man sitting in his car in a parking lot in Birmingham, Alabama is considered a hate crime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's one: Jeremiah Wright, obama's long-time pastor in Chicago who &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;almost &lt;/span&gt;cost him a vote during the election (thank goodness obama supporters don't vote due to the facts, but just due to how pretty the candidate is),&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/10/wright-suggests-jews-white-house-wont-let-speak-obama/"&gt; just recently said this about the prez&lt;/a&gt;: "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me. &lt;/span&gt;I told my baby daughter, that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office," Wright said, according to Virginia's Daily Press. "They will not let him ... talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is." Does that sound like a racist? Well, it would be if Dick Cheney said it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about this? &lt;a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/026516.php"&gt;A muslim convert in Arkansas kills a U.S. Soldier because he feels he is justified to do so because of U.S. military actions.&lt;/a&gt; Did the media jump on this and brand this man a muslim terrorist (since he received his training overseas in a Yemini prison and recently came home for his Jihad)? Nope, he's just one lone misguided gunman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about Blackburn, England, &lt;a href="http://theopinionator.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/04/street-jihadists-attack-in-blackburn-uk.html"&gt;where muslims are creating what they call a "Stree Jihad"&lt;/a&gt;, whereby they attack and attempt to kill any lone white person walking the streets? Could that be considered a "hate crime"? And since so many of the muslims are banding together there to do this rather than one single individual acting alone, would this be considered a fair representation of muslims there? If it were a single man who called himself a Christian who did anything, all Christians everywhere would be branded "terrorists and racists".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's time to stop creating a "situational naming policy" and decide what it is and is not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hussein can do all he wants to in forcing the media to see terrorists in a positive light, but the fact remains: a killer is a killer and a terrorist is a terrorist. Make the name pretty as you want to and do all you can to shelter them, but the actions speak louder than words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you can bet the coming weeks will see more radical idiots coming out of the woodwork to do something that the media can condemn and pin on Christians as a whole. If they went to church a single day in their life, they'll be considered a "right-wing Christian terrorist", you wait and see. We are the next target of media outrage and scourge. &lt;a href="http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=99005"&gt;If they can control, subjugate, or destroy Christianity, they will do it.&lt;/a&gt; Freedom of speech and freedom of religion only applies to Democrats and Muslims.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-8965451216406059110?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/8965451216406059110/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=8965451216406059110&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/8965451216406059110'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/8965451216406059110'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2009/06/extremists-is-such-nice-word.html' title='&quot;Extremists&quot; Is Such a Nice Word'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SjEKbzEwnMI/AAAAAAAAB24/POE9FNuEHGw/s72-c/Obama_Hope_Terrorist.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-8123859757080264814</id><published>2009-06-03T09:06:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-06-03T10:09:57.302-05:00</updated><title type='text'>You Won't See This on CNN</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SiaFFBTh8gI/AAAAAAAABzY/ieZpv-HJ_cM/s1600-h/ObamaWhiteHouse.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 148px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SiaFFBTh8gI/AAAAAAAABzY/ieZpv-HJ_cM/s200/ObamaWhiteHouse.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343104329217864194" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For all of Hussein's bowing, apologizing, and kissing Muslim butt, you never hear a single bad thing about Al Queda or terrorists anymore. &lt;a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2009-06-03-obama-muslims_N.htm"&gt;He's on a world tour for Islam right now&lt;/a&gt;.

Not on these shores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You'll never hear CNN talking bad about terrorists again, but they are still out there. Ignore the touchy-feely-good-times talk...it is still happening. I'm still waiting to hear obama say, "Oh, that whole 9/11 thing? That was our fault. Sorry about that. Thank you for killing 3000 Americans like that. We deserved it." Just wait, you'll hear him say it soon, I promise.

What I love to watch is how the people who are losing their jobs thanks to GM's financial problems absolutely refuse to put any blame on the man they elected as president to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That being said, I have the answer and obama is welcome to use &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SfyZJw3tcSI/AAAAAAAABwA/NiINZ_mDBR8/s1600-h/chevrolet-camaro-concept-2006-712141-thumb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 130px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/SfyZJw3tcSI/AAAAAAAABwA/NiINZ_mDBR8/s200/chevrolet-camaro-concept-2006-712141-thumb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331304451916263714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;this and take full credit for it (he hasn't had a single original idea since taking office, so why should this be any different?). Take any GM vehicle (like the Camaro, for example) and rename it "The Obamobile". Raise the price 40% and put it on the market. Those same mindless idiots who breathlessly lap up everything he says will sell everything they own to buy one simply because it has his name in it. That giant spike in auto sales (and I promise you, it WOULD happen because those people are just that stupid) would allow GM to recover and move on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that, slap his name on anything and watch the drones flock to it. Farmers in need of money? Start selling "Barack-corn" and watch that become the nation's favorite dish. Sprint could come out with the "Special Edition Obamaphone" and watch the iPhone become old news.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You think I'm kidding, but I'm not. This would work because the American public that elected him has gladly turned their thinking over to a man who has, in his first 100 days, put our nation in greater debt than the past 43 Presidents combined. No matter what obviously stupid sentence comes out of his mouth, they act as if it were a pearl of wisdom. So I say, just use that ignorance to your advantage. Save the U.S. by selling our inferior products at inflated prices to the ignorant masses.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-2048391679213984675?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/2048391679213984675/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=2048391679213984675&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/2048391679213984675'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/2048391679213984675'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2009/05/solving-gm-crisis.html' title='Solving the GM Crisis'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_39-VfFoO9u0/Sfyb4AAQrDI/AAAAAAAABwI/o8ep-fDlzfI/s72-c/EmptySuit-Md.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-7010449635770497137</id><published>2009-04-20T17:07:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-04-20T17:14:16.579-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The Tea Party Aftermath</title><content type='html'>CNN continues to show itself as nothing more than the obama fan club. This is just part of a clip that was on during the Tea Party. The CNN reporter did all she could do to make this seem like a riot of terrorists calling for the complete destruction of the government. You can't find the whole clip anymore thanks to CNN demanding it be pulled from all major sources (because it shows them for the idiots they are), but if you stumble across it somewhere it makes for a lot of laughs. The reporter, Susan Roesgen, looks ready to slap everyone in the group because they're talking about her dream lover Barack. It's obvious she left that day, went home to her full-sized Obama cut-out, slipped into her "I &lt;heart&gt; Barack" jammies and told herself she was a real reporter, no matter what intelligent people thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow, here's an interesting look at what went down.

Here's what I'm thinking he'll do: He will put a heavy tax on all foreign cars and car makers in an attempt to push Americans into buying domestic automobiles. That way it still &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;feels&lt;/span&gt; like we have a choice, but at the same time we really won't. We'll just have to wait and see if I'm right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But anyway, congratulations again, Obama! You're really making it easy on the Republicans to get back into office next year. As a matter of fact, if you keep up at the pace you're going, I believe your own political buddies will be impeaching you soon just to save face!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can just see the Republican rallying cry next year: "Change!"

According to the latest polls by Gallup, his approval rating is down to 65%, while other polls have it 50/50. Here's the president on 60 Minutes this weekend and it has generated a lot of buzz on the internet thanks to the fact that at around the 13:30 mark he starts to lose it to the point where even the interviewer starts questioning Hussein's sanity:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4883166n"&gt;Watch the video here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next year is an election year for the Democrats, and it's an important one because they are performing horribly since they won everything last year. Unless things change, they don't stand a chance of holding onto their majority lead next year, thanks in large part to their inexperienced president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Here's my prediction:&lt;/span&gt; if Obama's approval ratings tank below 30% by next year, the Democrats will anonomously release his real birth certificate to the Republicans and allow them to unseat him from office.

Then he remarked: "It was like the Special Olympics or something."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt; The audience laughed, but the White House quickly recognized the blunder. The Special Olympics, founded in 1968, is a global nonprofit organization serving 200 million individuals with intellectual disabilities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt; On his way back to Washington on Air Force One, Obama called the chairman of the Special Olympics, Tim Shriver, to say he was sorry - even before the taped program aired late Thursday night."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Now, if it had been George Bush who'd said that, the media would have demanded his resignation and public execution on the White House lawn.

They were so busy capturing Sadaam Hussein (man, I love that man's name) they didn't even pay attention to what was happening in Mexico. Bad, bad Republicans!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2) Ignore the problem as long as possible. &lt;/span&gt;"Crime? What crime? Yes, I know we haven't heard from any of the Texas towns near the border in weeks, but that's just a sign of the booming growth they've experienced lately! Um, by the way, has anyone heard from Houston lately?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3) Raise taxes. &lt;/span&gt;"We need money to build a picket fence along the border so the nice Mexican crime lords can see where to stop their evil ways. Here, I'll smile for the camera and that should stop them. I'm too pretty to fight."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4) Work on his 2012 re-election campaign. &lt;/span&gt;"As you can see, this is a problem that can't be fixed in 4 years. I'll need at least 8 to do it right. As a matter of fact, let's just make it 12 and see what I can really do!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-366656874917906734?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/366656874917906734/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=366656874917906734&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/366656874917906734'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/366656874917906734'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-obama-will-handle-mexican-crisis.html' title='How Obama Will Handle the Mexican Crisis'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-3947629337491659028</id><published>2009-01-06T15:23:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-06T15:26:41.801-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Israel</title><content type='html'>If you look back at my first post, you'll notice I mentioned the Obama-led U.S. would turn their backs on Israel. I mentioned how something would happen that would cause Israel to look like the bad guys and force the U.S. to take a harsh stance of one side or the other. If you're watching the news this week, you'll see that Israel is going all out to stop the Hamas before Obama takes office in the U.S. Originally, he was pro-Israel in their attack against the terrorists. As of today, he is leaning more toward a "this has got to stop" stance. By the time he is officially sworn in as President, look for that to change to an ultimatum to Israel to stop or be stopped. I could be wrong, but it looks pretty solid.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-3947629337491659028?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/3947629337491659028/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=3947629337491659028&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/3947629337491659028'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/3947629337491659028'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2009/01/israel.html' title='Israel'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-3604751479240952218</id><published>2008-11-07T07:00:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2008-11-07T07:07:02.453-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Regarding yesterday's post...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://archive.inquirer.net/view.php?db=1&amp;amp;story_id=170664"&gt;This story pretty much confirms what I mentioned yesterday&lt;/a&gt;. When the leaders of a terrorist organization are &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;excited &lt;/span&gt;that you got elected and are hoping you "won't make the same mistakes past presidents have made", you can pretty much count America out of helping Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're wondering why I'm linking to a news source outside America, it's because this hasn't been reported by the U.S. media yet. It's too soon into his new administration to show anything like this to the public. If they see this, they might start &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;thinking&lt;/span&gt;!

One thing they could never do with any conviction was figure out where America stood in the book of Revelation. They were clear where Israel would stand, and how the Bible said other nations would come against them at Megiddo, but it seemed odd that the most powerful free nation on Earth was never mentioned as the ones coming in to do anything to help them. Pastors made speculation, but never really had a clear answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now it sort of makes sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I start, I do not consider Obama the Anti-Christ, so please don't think that. I do, however, consider him a bad influence on the future of America. The most liberal Senator (even blowing Ted Kennedy out of the water!) isn't the one to make the laws for our land with no other governing power to reign him in (the Dems run it all now, which is going to make it hard to blame the Republicans for everything that goes wrong from this point on).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama has plainly stated that protecting Israel would be a "priority" in time of crisis, but he's also made it clear we have to keep peace with all nations. That being said, if the Palestinians decide to do something, Obama will say "Please don't" and that will be it. If another nation decides to attack Israel, Obama will say "Stop or we'll get angry, and we're only going to give you 20 more chances to get out of there before we start to consider harsher words". Then, eventually, he will give us some sort of statement about trying to keep the greater peace and we'll wish Israel good luck in dealing with that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That, finally, fills in the blanks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How could we turn our backs on Israel? Well, it would have never happened before. It would not have even happened with Hillary Clinton in the White House (she was a staunch advocate of protecting Israel, and was much more vocal about her feelings to protect them in the debates). But now we have made a way for it to happen. We have brought in a man who will turn his back on a nation we have protected since their inception in 1948.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, I am not here to state that Obama is the devil incarnate or anything. We have no way of knowing &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;what &lt;/span&gt;Obama's political decisions will be because he made so very few of them in his political career up until this point. It's like hiring someone off the street and making them CEO of a company. We do know that his handlers and advisors up until this point have directed him enough to get him elected, so it's the behind-the-scenes guys who will actually be running things for the next four years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I'm saying is that I finally see why we were unable in the 80's to figure out America's position in all this. If Obama passes every small-business-killing, spread-your-wealth law that he wants to, we will not be the most powerful free nation on earth in four years. We will be a socialist, European nation, and we will fall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that could be why Israel's deliverance will come from God as we stand by and do nothing.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-1340463514994826200?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/1340463514994826200/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=1340463514994826200&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/1340463514994826200'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/1340463514994826200'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2008/11/it-makes-sense.html' title='It Makes Sense...'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602136839357078273.post-3498423242061743659</id><published>2008-11-04T20:52:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-11-05T06:52:45.342-06:00</updated><title type='text'>The true victim of the 2008 election</title><content type='html'>As I write this the polls are just beginning to close and we are seeing problems all over with intimidation tactics and such. There is no doubt this will go down in history as the nastiest election ever. The greatest victim, however, will not be one race who will feel cheated by another...the greatest victim in this election is the title of "Christian".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not being overly dramatic when I state it will take years before the title of "Christian" holds any weight with anyone anymore. People who are pastors have openly supported a man who has made it plainly clear one of his first acts as president will be to sign into law a bill that will allow late term abortions, abortions without parental consent (or notification), and the cessation of any attempts to save a baby born alive during an abortion. He has openly supported gay marriage. He has mocked the message of the Bible and the Sermon on the Mount in particular. He is ranked the most liberal senator today. And yet people who scream that they love Jesus totally ignore all this and vote for him simply because of his race. Who cares what he stands for...just get that man in office. By the way, everything I just mentioned here is available on the internet as video clips. I have seen them all, and am not going by second-hand information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now "Christian" leaders who have come forward to support this man have forever tarnished the title. How can they get up on Sunday and preach against abortion when they have shown their love for someone who condones and encourages it? How can they preach that homosexuality is a sin when the openly support a man who has no problems with it? It's simple: they cannot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not against a black man taking office as the President. What I am against, however, is how the message of Martin Luther King's famous speech has forever been that a man would be judged by his character, and not by the color of his skin...and yet that message that was so reverently pointed to as "inspiring" up until this point has now been changed to "outdated", or worse "unnecessary" or "misunderstood".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a Christian, and I voted as such. Unfortunately, I know that the Christian witness of everyone has taken a massive blow by this election. You cannot claim to love Christ, and yet fully support a man who could not be more against the teachings and beliefs of Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Oh, but McCain was worse!" you might say. Fine, if you feel that way then just don't vote either way! It's better not to vote at all then to cast your vote and choose a man over your Christian walk. Your actions have spoken louder than any sermon ever could: I choose this man over the teachings of my Savior, Jesus Christ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter who wins this election, we have seen the true color of many who call themselves "Christian". We have seen what is the most important thing in their heart, and it was not Jesus. We have seen "pastors" who have stained their name and reputation for years to come just for the sake of popularity. Who cares about what color any candidate is? This should have been a shining moment for Christians everywhere to prove that Christ is more important than anything else. Instead, we have seen our Savior kicked to the curb by the very people who professed love for Him. It's not the first time it happened, but it's a shame it had to happen again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what happens now? If Obama wins, he will serve 4 years and that's all. Why? Simply because folks will be forced to look beyond the pretty image and see there is no substance. Credibility will be lost, hurt feelings will increase, and we will have done nothing to create the racial harmony so many people preached as the inevitable outcome of this election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have taken the name of Jesus and thrown it aside for today. Oh, folks will be praising Jesus for the victory, but their heart has already spoken the truth of the way they actually feel about Him. Theirs is a "convenient Christianity". Those who have constantly barraged evangelists and pastors who fell into sin through adulterous relationships or otherwise have shown themselves just as guilty of prostituting the name "Christian" as those fallen preachers ever did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It hurts to know how much we have tarnished the Christian name for the rest of the world in just one day. May God have mercy on our nation, and on every one of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not usually one given to rambling, but it hurts to see in one day that there aren't as many Christians in the U.S. as we were led to believe.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602136839357078273-3498423242061743659?l=thenationincrisis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/feeds/3498423242061743659/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2602136839357078273&amp;postID=3498423242061743659&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/3498423242061743659'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2602136839357078273/posts/default/3498423242061743659'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenationincrisis.blogspot.com/2008/11/true-victim-of-2008-election.html' title='The true victim of the 2008 election'/><author><name>Brian Reaves</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15086329859116256261</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile5/523/70/n503183176_9300.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
