| Advisers say conservative ire pushed McCain away from picking Lieberman - For her part, Palin still sounded surprised to have been picked - "I know that it will demand the best that I have to give, and I promise nothing less"
For weeks, advisers close to the campaign said, McCain had wanted to name as his running mate his good friend Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, the Democrat turned independent. But by the end of last weekend, the outrage from Christian conservatives over the possibility that McCain would fill out the Republican ticket with Lieberman, a supporter of abortion rights, had become too intense to be ignored. ... Introducing Palin at a rally Saturday in Washington, Pennsylvania, McCain praised her and spoke about her selection. "You know, I had a lot of good people to choose from, and I want to thank Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani," said McCain, referring to his rivals for the Republican nomination. "And," he added, "it's with great pride and gratitude I tell you I have found the right partner to help me stand up to those who have corrupted Washington." For her part, Palin still sounded surprised to have been picked. "Well, I know that when Senator McCain asked me to be his running mate, he had a short list of highly qualified men and women," she said. "To have made that list at all was a privilege. And to have been chosen, it brings a great challenge. "I know that it will demand the best that I have to give, and I promise nothing less."

"This is crap," he continued. "What is this about picking a liberal Democrat or a liberal Republican? McCain has already seen to it that he can walk across the aisle that he's the top of the ticket. If anybody is going to attract moderates it's going to be the top of the ticket guy. He's not going to help himself any additional way, he's going to hurt himself by putting a liberal or a liberal Republican on this ticket, particularly pro-choice. If they do that, if the McCain camp does that, they will have effectively destroyed the Republican party and pushed the conservative movement into the bleachers." ... Limbaugh suggested "someone like Rick Santorum other than Tom Ridge. How about some discussion from the McCain campaign about a conservative who can be counted on across the board, who can help lead the country in the right direction. Who can help rebuild the Republican party - Lieberman can't do that - and rebuild the conservative movement - neither McCain nor Lieberman nor Ridge can do that."

The Bush career, professional, Republicans spend more time promoting and furthering the Democratic Party so no wonder Republicans are losing every election.} Sources say former Secretary of State Colin Powell will endorse Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol told FOX News exclusively on Thursday. "He may well give a speech at the Democratic convention explaining his endorsement of Obama," Kristol m a FOX News contributor, said, citing inside sources. "This is not an absolute done deal, but these people are very confident that Powell will endorse Obama," Kristol said, adding that he thinks Powell, a Republican, still has "a high respect" for John McCain, Obama's Republican rival. Powell immediately denied the report. ... Kristol said sources told him Powell will "quite possibly" speak at the Democratic convention on the same night as Obama's vice-presidential selection and former President Bill Clinton. "The Obama people are quietly trying to line up a pretty strong convention," Kristol said. "I think the Obama campaign shouldn't be underestimated. Obviously anyone would like to have Powell's endorsement." [article link] August 03, 2008: Karen Hughes Gives State Dept. Funds to Islamic Radicals - A longtime adviser and close confidant of President Bush funneled millions of dollars in U.S. government grants to radical Islamist organizations, many of whose leaders have been convicted or indicted in terrorism cases in the United States A longtime adviser and close confidant of President Bush funneled millions of dollars in U.S. government grants to radical Islamist organizations, many of whose leaders have been convicted or indicted in terrorism cases in the United States, respected terrorism expert Steven Emerson told Congress last week. ... In addition to the grants to known Islamist organizations, Hughes brought Islamist leaders to Washington, D.C., and personally attended conferences held by anti-American organizations, Emerson said. The outreach policy championed by Hughes "legitimizes Islamism to the world and sends mixed messages to our allies," while "sending a terrible message to moderate Muslims who are thoroughly disenfranchised by the funding," said Emerson. ... "The question is: Why should the State Department spend U.S. taxpayer dollars to work with Islamists who actively oppose the foreign policy goals of the United States and subscribe to a supremacist, oppressive ideology?" Emerson said. He recommended that "the State Department discontinue its cooperation with Islamist groups." [article link] Shock and betrayal: 'Atomic Iran' - Jerome Corsi tells how greedy U.S. politicians 'sold their souls' to aid terror kingpin - The book explains how greedy U.S. politicians sold their souls and American technology to make that threat a reality (Book) With Iran ominously test-firing missiles, threatening to "burn down Tel Aviv" and possibly preparing for launching a catastrophic nuclear electromagnetic pulse attack, WND is offering the explosive expose of the coming Iranian nuclear nightmare, "Atomic Iran," ... Indeed, Iran - the most powerful member of the "axis of evil" - is now on a collision course with the U.S. and Israel because of its support of terrorism, including al-Qaida and Hezbollah, and its relentless pursuit of nuclear weapons. What most Westerners don't know is that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad harbors an apocalyptic belief in the near-term coming of an Islamic messiah, which leads to Western fears that Iran may just try to hasten that day by bringing about a nuclear holocaust. This arguably makes Iran the world's most dangerous nation - dangerous not just to the Middle East, but to America. There's more. "Atomic Iran" is not just the story of the Iranian threat, disturbing and dangerous as it may be. The book is also explains how greedy U.S. politicians sold their souls and American technology to make that threat a reality.

According to a news release from the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, a new five-year contract at the plant included the change to accommodate Muslim workers at the plant. Tyson's director of media relations Gary Mickelson said the contract includes eight paid holidays -- the same number as the old contract. Eid al-Fitr -- which falls on Oct. 1 this year -- marks the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting. Union leaders said implementing the holiday was important for the nearly 700 Muslims, many of them Somalis, who work at the plant that employs a total of 1,200 people. Nineteen-year plant veteran William Pentecost doesn't agree with the decision. "I don't think it's right. I really don't think it's right," he said. [article link] Cutting Edge News Alert August 1, 2008: Illuminati powerhouse, Henry Kissinger - Kissinger negotiated the American withdrawal (January 27, 1973) from South Vietnam by meeting with North Korean, Chinese and Russian diplomats over a period of years - These meetings were held primarily in Paris - Kissinger promised the North Vietnamese that they could have South Vietnam - Now, Kissinger is proposing a "diplomatic conference" which would establish a (Iraq) "formal peace settlement" Does he have the same formula [for Iraq] as we saw in Vietnam? - The Shi'ite Mahdi forces of the radical cleric, al-Sadr [and Iran could inherit Iraq and the oil wealth] - Kissinger ends his treatise on the "Peace and Safety" promise - All this activity is laying the foundation for fulfillment of prophecy! Kissinger negotiated American withdrawal from South Vietnam by meeting with North Korean, Chinese and Russian diplomats over a period of years. These meetings were held primarily in Paris. Kissinger promised the North Vietnamese that they could have South Vietnam, but only if they waited a period of time following the American withdrawal before they launched their final attack. Such a "grace period" would allow the Americans to declare victory and pull out. -- Now, Kissinger is proposing a "diplomatic conference" which would establish a "formal peace settlement". Does he have the same formula as we saw in Vietnam? No one can be sure at this time, but events will soon give us the answers we need. President Bush will be allowed to declare victory -- once again -- and then pull out. The Shi'ite Mahdi forces of the radical cleric, al-Sadr, will continue to stand down to give the illusion of an American victory. After waiting for a reasonable amount of time, Sadr will launch an attack, splitting Iraq into the three sections originally planned -- Shi'ite, Sunni and the Kurds. -- Kissinger does say, "The American presence in Iraq should not be presented as open-ended." If this is the case, why is the United States building one of the most sophisticated embassies in the world and establishing permanent military bases throughout Iraq? -- Kissinger then reveals that the final steps in this Plan for Iraq will spill over to the 44th President. "The next president has a great opportunity to stabilize Iraq and lay the basis for a decisive turn in the war against jihadist radicalism and for a more peaceful Middle East. Surely he will want to assess the situation on the ground before setting a strategy for his term. He should not be limited by rigid prescriptions to vindicate maxims of the past, no matter how plausible they once seemed. Withdrawal is a means; the end is a more peaceful and hopeful world." -- Thus, Kissinger ends his treatise on the "Peace and Safety" promise. All this activity is laying the foundation for fulfillment of prophecy! [article link] "Peace and Safety" Setting the Stage for the [End Times] Apocalypse - The purpose of this article is to explain how current events are being driven to set the stage for the "peace and safety" that precedes the Day of the Lord - The Day of the Lord will begin when the world in general, and Israel in particular, is experiencing a period of relative calm and stability - While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, 1 Thess 5:3 The Day of the Lord will begin when the world in general, and Israel in particular, is experiencing a period of relative calm and stability. This is predicted very clearly by the Apostle Paul, who was only reiterating the very words of Jesus. Paul begins his predictions by describing the rapture and the resurrection of living and dead believers, and then he connects it with the beginning of the Day of the Lord. This is the end-times Tribulation, and Paul states that it will begin suddenly and catastrophically when the world least expects it, [According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words. Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-5:9 NIV] [article link] June 18, 2008: Bush to Urge Congress to Lift Offshore Drilling Ban - "The president believes Congress shouldn't waste any more time" {Bush already knowingly wasted eight years. What a FRAUD the Bush Republicans turned out to be.} WASHINGTON - President Bush plans to make a renewed push Wednesday to get Congress to end a long-standing ban on offshore oil and gas drilling, echoing a call by GOP presidential candidate John McCain. Congressional Democrats have opposed lifting the prohibitions on energy development on nearly all federal Outer Continental Shelf waters for more than a quarter-century, including waters along both the East and West coasts. With oil prices soaring and motorists paying $4 a gallon for gasoline, political pressures have been growing for more domestic oil and gas production. "The president believes Congress shouldn't waste any more time," White House press secretary Dana Perino told The Associated Press on Tuesday. [article link] On 6-6-6 (June 06, 2006): Bush Announces Mark of The Beast System {A Bush verification system that was to solve the illegal immigration problem. Well, it's obviously NOT a system that is solving illegal immigration so just who is being tracked and monitored by yet another Bush control system? It's not illegal foreigners who are being tracked it's not even Al Qaeda that is being tracked its mostly legitimate American citizens.} First Off, I want to apologize for the poor video quality, when I heard the Completely Corrupt Bush announcing the Mark of the Beast system, I was in a room that only had a old-school VCR and a well used tape. But the video and what Bush said was clear enough to know what time it is. How appropriate, that on 06/06/06, Bush announces the Biometric Mark of the Beast system. Now the AC Bush speaks of the Biometric IDs for foreign workers, to start with, but this is only the reason given to implement the infrastructure of the Mark. You all know that what starts with one group soon appplies to all. 666 is here. Everyone, feel priviledged that you live in the last days. Prepare, GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER!!! STEEL YOUR SPIRIT, MIND, AND BODY. THE TIME IS AT HAND. HEED THE OMEN !!! [article link] End Times -- The Rapture - You NEED To See This (YouTube) A video I put together about the last approaching days and the scriptures prophecying what will take place. There are parts of it not meant to be taken literal. Such as the scripture about those desiring to kill themselves but will not be able to, and then right after a clip of someone jumping off the WTC buildings. That was used for image purposes. To have a visual aid sorta but by no means did I mean for that to be an example of the scripture itself. It was just to show what it will be like when those times come. But yah. Please enjoy. Comment all you want. Tell me how much you love it. Tell me how you'll be glad when God takes all the christian's out of the world. Tell me how I'm blindly believing in something that couldn't possibly be real. I accept all comments. But just know, you can say whatever you want, but it still does not prevent the inevitable. Your words can't make the truth, any less true. [article link] U.S. deporting Christian pastors - Immigration rejects requests to stay when church leaders' visas expire - U.S. immigration authorities have stepped up deportations, but rather than pursue illegal aliens, they have chosen to evict America's church ministers from the country instead Thomas became a Christian and served as a senior pastor in England for several years. His wife became homesick in 1990, and he decided to apply for U.S. citizenship again. The second time, Thomas received a pastor's religious work visa that lasted five years. He accepted a position as a pastor at the 8,000-member Vineyard Community Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. He received a paycheck while his work visa was active, but when it came time for the pastor to apply for a residency visa, also known as a green card, immigration authorities denied his application based on Thomas' disclosure of overturned marijuana convictions in England. Thomas has asked for an appeal before an immigration judge to plead his case on several occasions, but his requests have fallen on deaf ears since September 2006. ... Immigration authorities have also marked a Catholic priest for deportation to Ireland on July 1 after documentation errors left the 58-year-old missionary without paperwork he needed to remain in De Smet, S.D.

Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, reacted with outrage, "This case has turned into the persecution of one of the Marine's finest combat commanders. LtCol Chessani devoted his life to the Corps and his Nation. He served three tours of duty in Iraq, away from his wife and children in defense of us all. In their attempt 'to get' Chessani, prosecutors granted immunity to seventeen Marines, including one they had charged with murder. Still they failed. Sadly, in the process they have destroyed the career of an outstanding officer. Enough is enough." ... LtCol Chessani's official 2006 Combat Fitness Report, which includes the time frame in which he is facing criminal charges, declared him "a superb leader, who knows his men, knows the enemy, knows his business," and recommended him for promotion. The reviewing Major General added, Lt. Colonel Chessani has "unlimited potential and value to the Marine Corps," and also recommended him for promotion.

Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.). The lawmaker has strongly criticized Gonzales in the case of two Border Patrol agents, who are serving long prison sentences for an incident that resulted in the shooting of a suspected Mexican drug smuggler. Rohrabacher criticized the (Bush) administration for its "pattern of arrogance" and the "ruthless prosecution" of former Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean.

He said he shot Reagan to impress actress Jodie Foster. Hinckley has been allowed visits to his family home in Virginia but wants to extend those visits, as well as get a driver's license and begin volunteering or working in the community, all under the supervision of his doctors. But federal prosecutors argue he needs to address "his issues" surrounding these relationships, "in order to preclude the danger that he might again try to impress a woman through violence," The Smoking Gun reported.

The possible charges were never mentioned after Hinckley's attempt. -- The widely accepted official story that Hinckley was trying to get the attention of actress Jodie Foster was based entirely on a letter that Hinckley was said to have written, but which the public and the media never saw. Blumberg's book attempts to documents those assertions and blasts the nation's journalists for sloth and neglect. He said journalists were fed a barely believable story full of inconsistencies.
