Obama's Corruption

I'm about half way through Michelle Malkin's book, "Culture of Corruption." I had to wrestle it away from my hubby who somehow managed to snatch it when it arrived last week. Some of what is outlined in this book I knew about, but the detail Michelle provided managed to connect quite a few dots.

Glenn Beck has been talking about the depth of corruption in this administration and how it must be rooted out and thrown in the nearest trash pile. The way to do this is through educating ourselves with the facts.

Valerie Jarrett, Obama's right hand "person", is completely steeped in the Chicago way of doing politics. Is Jarrett the top of the food chain? I doubt it. But she is definitely a big part of the puzzle and her machinations must be brought to light.

Some "must reads"...

Today in Front Page Magazine is an excellent article by Ben Johnson, "Valerie Jarrett, the Next Van Jones." I consider it a must read. It's a long and detailed article, but the time for us to sit back and say, "I'll just wait and see what happens" is long gone. We all must take the time to educate ourselves to the depth of depravity we are witnessing.

And in view of the latest ACORN bust in New York, I highly recommend two articles on the Big Government site, ACORN's Lifeblood and ACORN's Lawless Ways.

There are many days when I am so exhausted and discouraged as I delve deeper and deeper into this swamp of what can only be called evil, that I have the urge to shut down this blog and hide in my gardens. But I remind myself I have readers with way less time on their hands to research and unearth pertinent information than I have. And so I pick myself up and get back to work.

Glenn Beck has asked us day after day to pray for him, his family, and his staff. But most importantly, he has told us to pray for ourselves and our country. In 1Thessalonians, Chapter 5, we are told to "pray without ceasing." I think that's very good advice.

Commentary: Vicious, Venal and Violent…
By Fr. Tom Euteneuer, President, Human Life International

September 14, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - These are really the only titles that adequately describe the murderous movement known as "pro-choice" or "pro-abortion." It is now frightening, though not at all surprising, how absolutely hardened and inhumane our culture has become because of this satanic force that has grown strong through 36 years of wholesale murder of God's precious innocents. read the rest

Mexico's War on the United States
by Wes Vernon

It's bad enough that terrorist-collaborating communists are taking over much of Latin America. Bad enough that their Venezuelan ringleader, Hugo Chavez, confers with Iran's nuclear bomb-making dictator. And bad enough that this alliance has led to the prospect that Iranian missiles may end up south of our border (pointed guess where?), while our own Marxist president apologizes metaphorically for hitting their fists with our chin.

All of that is horrific enough. But largely ignored is the fact that our next-door neighbor, Mexico, is carrying on an undeclared war on these United States. read the rest
