Iran- The country's state Press TV reported today that Iran has test fired a new long range missile. AP reports that Iran often stages war games or tests weapons to show its determination to counter any attack by foes such as Israel and the United States. These two countries are two which have accused the Islamic Republic of seeking to develop nuclear bombs.
The Press TV report comes just a few days after a top Iranian military commander announced that Iranian missiles could now reach Israeli nuclear sites.
Israel, thankfully still has a back bone, they have said that they have not ruled out military action if diplomacy fails. This used to be a shared opinion with the U.S. However, now Pres. Obama has threatened to Engage Iran in DIRECT TALKS if it will "unclench its fist".

Obama: Targets the Needy!
Obama has decided to cut down the charitable giving tax deductions. However, this time it was criticized by Democrats and Republicans alike, and it poured more fuel on the economic fire that he is building. Pres. B. Hussein Obama has put limitations on charitable giving, aka the "charitable giving deduction reduction", which limits deductions that can be made by couples making $250,000 + a year. It also reduces the amount that can be made by individuals that make $200,000 + a year.
Now, not only has Obama raised the taxes on the top 2% of the population (they won't mind since they pay 2/3 of the taxes anyway), but now we are going to limit the reach of the biggest givers in the country. I know, some or maybe most will still give, but others will limit their donations.
I'm curious what the people, and groups that depend on the charitable giving will do? I wonder if the "hope" is to limit traditional giving, and create room for the government teet? Barry's campaign slogan was slightly off, instead of "The Change We Need" it should have been "The Change that Creates Need."

People of Interest!
We have all heard quite a bit about Obama and his known associations with some of the most off- color people. Some of these people are convicted criminals, some admitted terrorists, and some are just racist hatemongers. These are not people you want living next door, and you certainly would not want as your friends. Unless your Barack Obama!
William Ayers:
In the mid 90's, Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dorhn, hosted a party to introduce their friends to a young politician by the name of Barack Obama that was running for the Illinois Senate.
Obama later went on to serve as a chairman for a radical educational board called the CAC (Chicago Annenberg Challenge). A board that Ayers used to push his radical thoughts, and opinions of "teaching against the oppressions of this country." It was through the CAC that Ayers, and Obama, contributed money to ACORN (Associations of Community Organizations for Reform Now). This was done on behalf of the Obama presidential campaign, and ACORN was to register voters for the upcoming election. ACORN which has recently committed several acts of voter registration fraud.
During Obama's time as the chairman for the CAC over $600,000 was donated through the CAC to other orginizations founded by Ayers. These foundations are run by Mike Klonsky a former top communist activist, and the former leader of the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party.
Seems like great company for a possible president to be keeping, and bit of a trend with company that "great one" keeps. This man does not care about this country, and its great history. Barack Obama cares about power, and being the man that holds the power. God forbid he should obtain that power, because he will ruin this great nation that we love.
William Ayers:
- Leader of the 60's and 70's domestic terrorist group Weathermen Underground.
- Summed up the theology of the Weathermen Group as "Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars, and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents."
- Participated in the bombings of: NYC Police Headquarters, the Capital building in 71, the Pentagon in 72.
- Currently a professor of eduction at the University of Illinois.

Obama Kids and The Obama Youth
These are videos that you may have seen. However, I have recently published my blog on a couple of web magazines (webizines), so their could be people that haven't seen these videos.

Stop The Bleeding!
My normal optimistic attitude is not gone. I am not completely worried, but as a coach it's getting close to that point where you have to call a timeout. You have to bring the guys over calm them down, and get them focused back on the task at hand. It's the start of the fourth quarter, and your opponent is gaining momentum. You brought in the star player, and then you don't get em the ball. That seems to be whats going on with McCain and Palin. We were behind in the polls, and he pulls Palin off the bench to change the game. Which is what she did, and she produced a comeback. She provided a lead, and sparked excitement for the whole team. Now, do we go to the hot hand? Do we continue to follow her lead? NO. Instead we send her west, we hide her at times, and we don't allow her to get in front of the camera nearly enough. I don't understand this strategy at all. Instead of setting the pit bull loose on the media who she has handled wonderfully, and answered all their questions perfectly, we hide her away.
The second thing that's, driving me absolutely crazy, is the free pass McCain is giving the democrats. He refuses to give blame where blame is more than due. McCain should be calling out every one of the liberal democrats that caused this financial mess. Hold their feet to the fire, and expose them for what they are, FRAUDS!
I understand wanting to fix the problem at hand. However, you have a gift laid in your lap, and you refuse to open it. All the lies, and scandals that are sewn up in this fannie and freddie mess are out in the open. The deceit of these GSE's are his for the exposing.
So with his refusal to turn Palin loose, and refusing to offer the heads of responsible parties, to their angry constituency. This combination has provided a drop in the polls, and in states where he's ahead, the lead shrinks. He refuses with Obama to listen to the people that don't want this bill. He refuses to expose these former employees of Fannie, and Freddie. These people should be prosecuted, and embarrassed. They should be treated like a republican that has done something wrong. They should be sent to prison like a republican certainly would have been. Paraded in front of the public on the evening news, and embarrassed.
"McCain the Maverick" needs to wake up before this election passes him by, and leaves him laying along side the road with former republican candidates that refused to fight. (dole and papa bush part deux) Becoming a punching bag is not admirable. You are a fighter. People love and respect you for being a fighter. They want you to win. So give the people what they want.

Another Day No Bail Out!
"High taxes and excess spending growth created our present economic mess; more of the same will not cure the hardship, anxiety, and discouragement it has imposed on the American people. Let us cut through the fog for a moment. The answer to a government that's too big is to stop feeding its growth." Ronald Reagan.
These are wise words. These words have not been uttered before the house or senate members during the past two weeks. Instead we have heard about $700 billion bailouts, and inserting more regulators to regulate the private sector. The talk that greed in the private sector is what caused this mess is absolutely outrageous. If the greed is found anywhere it is on Capital Hill. That is where the likes of Chris Dodd, Barnie Franks, and Bill Clinton started this mess in 1998. (Not to mention they got rich doing so.) Clinton wanted to put everybody in a house, because everyone no matter your credit score, employment, or financial history deserves to own a home.
We all see what happens when the thought of working for something, and earning it yourself is replaced. Replaced with the idea that "it's my right", and "I deserve it". So here we are in a situation brought on by corruption in government agencies. (surprise, surprise) We have discovered forged financial documents, failed housing policies, and corrupt politicians. Now, who is expected to fix this? The American tax payer. The people that work hard to earn what they have, and even harder to keep it.
So instead of personal accountability, and responsibility for your on own debt. The government wants the American taxpayer to pay the bill. Government is like that guy that takes you out to the fancy restaurant, orders the most expensive thing, and encourages you to do the same. Then the bill comes, and oops, I forgot my wallet. It might happen once, but the second time he's washing dishes. Which is what we need to do as taxpayers. We should write, phone, e-mail, and fax our representatives. Tell them that this is wrong, and we are not going to pay for it.
It's time to stop feeding this giant government every time it gets hungry for more. Ronald Reagan's practices were right then, and they are still right today. If put into practice again they will produce the same economic boom that we saw during the Reagan era. I keep hearing that this is a bi-partisan mess, but facts say something else. Take a look yourself.

Seventh Anniversary of 9/11.
(Picture of a memorial at Camp Liberty in Baghdad. The image of the Pentagon on the left, and the WTC on the right.)They remember what they are fighting for 7 years later. They remember, like many of us, the Al Qaeda terrorist that hijacked 4 planes. They remembered, and paid their respects to the almost 3,000 Americans that had their lives taken on that day.
At 8:46 a.m. (the time the first plane slammed into the WTC) President Bush will hold a moment of silence on the south lawn of the White House. Let us all remember those lost loved ones that day. Let's pray for wisdom for Pres. Bush, let's pray for continued safety for this country, and for our soldiers that fight to preserve our freedom and safety as Americans.
