In My Opinion
When President Obama drew a red line over the use of chemical weapons by Syria, he committed us to honoring that red line. Now it seems one of the factions in the civil war there has crossed that line. One of the main problems with this scenario is that the two sides fighting both include radical Islamists. President Assad and his supporters include Hamas and Hezbollah. The other side includes Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. Who are we supposed to side with? Neither side deserves our 'help'. Had the U.S. intervened two years ago, the outcome may have been different since the oppositional fighters were largely secular and pro-democracy. Not that I'm suggesting we should have intervened then either. But now, after 2 years of fighting, that faction has been diminished. In that time, at least 100,000 Syrians have been killed, and now our President decides he must take a stand because a few hundred people died from chemical weapons? The video footage is wrenching, and maybe that was intentional. After all, having us intervene stresses our resources. It forces us to take sides, but again, neither side is friendly to us. Intervening now offers our country no benefit economically nor does it offer any national security benefit. In fact, it puts Israel at risk for attack because that's the word coming from Assad. Hit us, he said, and we hit Israel. So why, then?
This whole issue raises more questions than we have answers for.
Why does Obama want to intervene?
What's the benefit to the United States to do so?
Why was the President not concerned after so many people were killed prior to the use of chemicals?
Where is the national security concern for America?
What is the economic benefit?
Who does benefit if we intervene?
Who stands to take control of Syria if we help the oppositional side 'win' this civil war?
Why would he want us to engage in another war front when our military is already spread thin and our economy is in such bad shape?
Who actually is using the chemical weapons?
Why is the president so sure that Assad is behind the chemical warfare when Intelligence says it's not definite?
Why are John Kerry and Joe Biden pushing the idea that Assad must be punished?
Why is the administration so eager to do something when they were so adamantly against Bush taking action in Iraq for similar reasons?
Why were they warning and (in Biden's case) calling for impeachment if Bush acted without Congress, but it's okay for them now to act without Congress?
Is this all about the red line that Obama drew?
Why would Obama reveal to the world what kind of attack he would launch, the duration, and the location?
Why is Obama in such a rush to make a move?
What is the objective he's trying to achieve?
Does he have an objective?
Does it even matter if Britain and France drop out of the picture?
Is he willing to strike unilaterally?
What will be the impact on Israel?
Why is Obama willing to put Israel in peril over this?
If the reason is humanitarian, then why not get involved in other genocides?
Was the use of chemicals intentional to bait us into intervening in this war?
If so, who is baiting us?
Too many unanswered questions, too many costs. Obama needs to take this to the Congress and the people.

The Silence Over the Coptic Christians
While this administration beats the war drum for Syria, attention is being diverted from the horrific situation in Egypt. Although the administration doesn't like to talk about it, the fact is, that Christians there are being killed, churches are being burned, houses are being marked, and schools and businesses are being destroyed. Since the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi, of the Muslim Brotherhood, violence against the Coptic Christians has spiked, although murder of Christians there has been going on for years. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2013/08/15/egypt-coptic-church-islamists/2640419/
Although human rights groups recently condemned the hateful rhetoric of the Muslim Brotherhood and its allies, nothing is being done to stop the violence. To date, hundreds of Christians have been killed. Since the takeover of the Muslim Brotherhood last year, tens of thousands of Coptic Christians have fled the country in fear. Currently, the Copts in Egypt represent 10% of the population of 80 million people. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/egypt/9798777/Egypts-Coptic-Christians-fleeing-country-after-Islamist-takeover.html
Several days ago, Egyptians, both Christian and Muslim, rallied in front of the White House, protesting our president's alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood. "Don't support terrorists!" they yelled.
In June, the UN Ambassador to Egypt put pressure on the Copts not to demonstrate against Morsi and the Brotherhood.
"Egyptian Christians and U.S. citizens of Egyptian ancestry feel abandoned by the United States, which currently refuses to acknowledge persecution of Christians by Muslims, lest it offend the Muslim world." http://www.newsmax.com/JamesWalsh/Coptic-Christians-persecution-Egypt/2012/05/24/id/440236
Remember that Obama helped oust Mubarek and supported the Muslim Brotherhood, who have been visiting the White House over the past few years, still do, and also currently hold government jobs. Remember when John Brennan, now CIA Director, claimed they were secular and benevolent? Nothing could be further from the truth.
The silence about the persecution of Christians speaks volumes. Interesting to see who this president chooses to stand with.

"The protestors are also angered by Western media coverage of the situation in Egypt. They rallied against the Washington Post, accusing both the newspaper and Obama of being biased in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood."
"So the Obama administration helps the Muslim
Brotherhood in Egypt; that's not right," anti-Brotherhood protestor
Sawers Kamel said. "That has a lot of question marks. Why? Why?" http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2013/August/Egyptian-Christians-Muslims-March-against-Obama/
In Nashville, TN recently, hundreds of Coptics took to the streets also pleading with Obama, "don't you care?" http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/aug/21/coptic-christians-chant-tennessee-streets-obama-do/

Crickets
Chris Lane, a white college student from Australia was visiting in Oklahoma when he was shot and killed "for the fun of it." One of the 3 black teens who killed him had tweeted prior to this, "90% of white people are nasty. Hate them." He also boasted about "knocking out" 5 whites since the Zimmerman trial. Seems like a racial crime, right? Unlike the Martin/Zimmerman case in which the media never stopped talking about race and even went so far as to concoct Zimmerman into a 'white Hispanic', one would never know this had anything to do with race if they were reading NBC news online. Nowhere in this article is race mentioned at all. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/08/20/20102447-2-teens-charged-with-first-degree-murder-in-ballplayers-killing-in-oklahoma?lite
In March, a former Marine was beaten to death by a group of 4 black men during an altercation in a parking lot.
In April, several black men got out of a car shouting "Trayvon" to pummel a 27 year-old white man who was walking home. Although he survived the beating, one side of his face is permanently disfigured.
In Chicago, back in April, 2 black teens beat a white 19 year-old to the ground and admitted later on they were angry about the Trayvon Martin case.
According to a recent article on WND website, there has been a wave of many more incidents of black on white violence since the Martin case. And yet, what do we hear coming from the black leaders?....Crickets. And what do we hear from the media about these racially charged crimes?....More crickets. The under-reporting of these cases is criminal in and of itself and given the 24/7 coverage of the Martin case as a racial crime (even though race was not an issue according to both the defense and the prosecution), one cannot overstate the double standard here. If all of the crimes documented in the following article were reversed as white on black violence, would we hear crickets? I doubt that we could over the cries of racism.

Enough is Enough
In My Opinion
Recently, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said, "I hope that's based on substance and not the fact that he's an African-American" when referring to Republicans who are opposing Obama and his policies. Reid should be ashamed. Ashamed for two reasons. One, this is a man of power and authority, the leader of the Senate, stoking racial fires. The other reason is that he dares to suggest that the Republicans who disagree with this president do so because of his race. As a conservative, I am so sick of the left crying racist when anyone disagrees with Obama. It's as if no one has ever disagreed with a president before. What did the left attribute prior criticisms to when race could not be used?
Over the past weekend, a rodeo clown at a state fair in Missouri wore an Obama mask and proceeded to do whatever comedy that rodeo clowns do. The fallout over this from the political left has been inexplicable. The Senator, the Governor, and the Lt. Governor of Missouri, plus the state fair officials, all denounced the 'insensitivity' shown by this clown. The clown himself has been banned from performing at this state fair. Why? This has been going on for years. And, since when can't we poke fun at our president? Do these people believe that this president can't be touched? We all know about the incessant mocking and belittling of George Bush during his tenure. I don't recall the outrage. This has been going on forever in this country...until now. Now, when this president is mocked, there is retribution and apologies. Let's remember, this is our president, not a divine figure. And yet, the left has no tolerance for any criticism towards this man. What's up with that?
What's up is that the political left is trying to shut down any oppositional speech or thought. What's up is that the political left throws the weight of the government behind targeting conservatives because of political beliefs. What's up is that the political left tries to intimidate anyone who is not in lockstep with this administration. What's up is that the political left labels conservatives as the enemy.
What's up is that the political left has become an oppressive place to be for free speech and thought. And, while the political left prides itself on being tolerant of all people, we know they do not tolerate a Republican/conservative. Shame on Harry Reid. Shame on the political leaders who cowered over a clown.

Exempt Us All From Obamacare!
In My Opinion
It seems too obvious for words. The people who write laws for the citizens to follow, should be required to follow those same laws themselves. The common sense of this is glaring.
When Congress started whining that Obamacare will cause them to pay higher premiums imposed by the new law that they created (!) Obama himself reassured them that he would 'take care of it.' And so he did. Obama promised that now the government (aka the taxpayers) will continue to contribute to the health care premiums for Congress and their staff. Just add them to the long list of groups to get Obamacare waivers, even though the law specifically states that this was not to happen. So, once again, our President skirts the law and makes it happen. Aside from the obvious law-breaking, it begs the question as to why all these groups are requesting waivers anyway? Why? Isn't this a great bill? Isn't this what the Democrats desired? Isn't this what the unions pushed for? Isn't this what his corporate bedfellows begged for? This was supposed to be a much better system for everyone!
So, let me get this straight. Obama and his Democrat cohorts force this 2800 page bill down the throats of the American people through several maneuvers and back room deals in Congress (remember all the town hall meetings and rallies that Americans held over this plan?). Thanks to the Democrats turning their backs on the will of the people, we can look forward to about 20,000 pages of new regulations associated with this bill (according to Sen. McConnell). This new law will force businesses across the country to fire workers, downsize their workers hours, and refrain from new hires. This new law will cause premiums to rise dramatically, will cause doctors to drop out of the force, and will cause people to get rationed care as determined by Washington bureaucrats. This new law represents one sixth of our economy and will ultimately help bring about the fundamental transformation of this country that Obama promised/threatened (depending on your viewpoint).
This is not a good law and Congress knows it. Even Obama knows it. But it will redistribute the wealth, as he so desperately wants, and it will allow for the government to take control over every aspect of our lives. There is one more exit off this dangerous highway and that is to defund Obamacare. Sign this petition now and let Congress know that if it's not good enough for them, it's not good enough for us either. http://www.dontfundobamacare.com/

Tracking Our Cars Now
According to a study published by the ACLU, law enforcement agencies across the country are scanning images of parked and moving vehicles, noting their location and then uploading the information into police databases. The data is stored for an indefinite amount of time. Although a judge's approval is needed to track a car with GPS, according to the Supreme Court, scanning license plates, even a few times a day, to track location is permitted. As this scanning becomes more utilized by law enforcement, it becomes "easier to build a record of where someone has been and when..."
"Although less thorough than GPS tracking, plate readers can produce some of the same information, the group says, revealing whether someone is frequenting a bar, joining a protest, getting medical or mental help, being unfaithful to a spouse and much more."
Seems the cost of security is getting higher, only we're paying with our liberties.
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/07/17/you-can-drive-but-you-cant-hide-millions-of-innocent-american-drivers-are-being-tracked/
http://news.yahoo.com/driving-somewhere-theres-govt-record-140052644.html
Law enforcement says it is an investigative tool to be used when looking for information on a particular vehicle in connection to a crime, and not intended to follow the public's movements. However, from a study done by the ACLU: "based on 26,000 pages of responses from 293 police departments and state
agencies across the country, found that license plate scanners produced
a small fraction of “hits,” or alerts to police that a suspicious
vehicle had been found. In Maryland, for example, the state
reported reading about 29 million plates between January and May of last
year. Of that number, about 60,000 – or roughly 1 in every 500 license
plates – were suspicious. The main offenses: a suspended or revoked
registration, or a violation of the state’s emissions inspection
program, altogether accounting for 97 percent of alerts."
"Although less thorough than GPS tracking, plate readers can produce some of the same information, the group says, revealing whether someone is frequenting a bar, joining a protest, getting medical or mental help, being unfaithful to a spouse and much more."

Bill of Rights Under Attack
Too often there are stories about our civil rights, as
expressed in the Bill of Rights and other amendments, coming under
attack. This is happening on all levels of government: local, state and
federal. Just a few examples:
When the police asked Anthony Mitchell if they could use his family's house to observe their neighbors for a domestic violence investigation, they were refused because Mitchell didn't want to get involved. So, the police decided to use the house anyway and smashed down his door. They shot Mitchell and his dog with pepperball rounds (equivalent of pepper spray) where they lay on the floor. The ordeal continued with the eventual arrest of Mitchell and his father. Currently the family is suing for violation of the Third Amendment. http://dailycaller.com/2013/07/05/lawsuit-police-seize-homes-arrest-owners-to-investigate-neighbor/
A young couple, unhappy with the treatment their baby was getting at a hospital, took him from there, after being told that he needed open heart surgery asap. Mistakenly, they took their son, without official discharge, and went straight to another hospital for a second opinion. There they were told he was safe to go home. The next day, the police showed up at their house, ready to break the door down. "I asked them if they had a warrant. Next thing you know I'm basically being pushed, dropped to the ground," he said, recalling that officers handcuffed him, then took away his keys and tried to enter the house. At that point, he said he called his wife from outside and told her to call 911." http://foxnewsinsider.com/2013/04/30/police-take-baby-away-family-wanted-second-medical-opinion
Obamacare mandates that all employers provide coverage for abortion-inducing drugs, contraceptives and sterilization. This is in direct conflict with religious liberty as stated in the First Amendment. http://blog.heritage.org/2012/12/08/americans-recognize-obamacares-religious-liberty-problem/
A libertarian college student, who it is now known to have pre-planned the stop, was pulled over at a DUI check point in Tennessee. An officer came up to his car and the young man opened the window just enough to speak to him and hear him. The officer's intimidation ensued when the driver stated he didn't need to open his window any wider. This young man was well educated on his constitutional rights, and the officers knew that. They pursued their tactics anyway, forced him out of the car and searched it. The driver posted a recorded video of this stop on You Tube, where it proceeded to get millions of hits. Whether this was a 'test' or not on the part of the student, lawyers can debate whether the officer in question was guilty of violating the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. http://www.ibtimes.com/dui-checkpoint-video-goes-viral-21-year-old-chris-kalbaugh-defies-tennessee-police-deputy-part
The recent revelations about the Dept. of Justice wiretapping Associated Press and Fox News, and the IRS targeting of individuals and groups with opposing political views, are in clear violation of free speech as found in the First Amendment.
The NSA's widespread and egregious spying on all Americans violates the Fourth Amendment as the federal government intrudes on the privacy rights of innocent people. http://www.infowars.com/judge-napolitano-obamas-unprecedented-violation-of-the-4th-amendment/
The Federal and state governments that legislate gun control must do so without violating the Second Amendment. In Maryland, the sheriff has declared that the new gun control law does violate the Second; it requires people to submit fingerprints to get a handgun license, bans 45 types of guns and limits gun magazines. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3028173/posts
In Alabama, the state senate voted to prohibit federal gun control laws from being enforced if they deem that they violate the Second Amendment. http://redalertpolitics.com/2013/05/01/alabama-senate-votes-to-ignore-new-federal-gun-laws-that-violate-second-amendment/

The following video shows police letting themselves in without a warrant, and taking the baby.
“I’m going to grab your baby, and
don’t resist, and don’t fight me okay?” one officer can be heard telling
the mother in the video. “It seems like parents have no rights whatsoever,” Alex said. Originally
from Russia, he said the situation reminds him of a “communist regime.” Clearly a violation of the Fourth Amendment. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/04/29/im-going-to-grab-your-baby-and-dont-resist-cops-barge-into-cali-parents-home-take-their-baby-after-they-seek-2nd-medical-opinion-and-its-on-video/
