Should You Shoot a ‘Child’?
by Karen De Coster
*** begin quote ***
Unfortunately, so many people have been taught to always submit, submit, submit – to the government, to folks with badges, and to the criminals. It’s a part of the propaganda and conditioning process that is used to quell critical thinking and individual resistance. Folks have been brainwashed to believe that no property they own is worth taking the life of another. However, none of these reeducated citizens can explain exactly how it is you go about finding out what your aggressor wants from you. Kindly asking questions first with the intention of pondering over the answers will certainly get you a trip to the morgue.
In a car theft, the car thief wants your property – whether it’s for a joy ride or turning a profit. That is to say, he’s looking for and making off with an empty vehicle. By definition, a carjacking shows much more violent intentions. The carjacker knowingly and purposely confronts an individual (or individuals) in an aggressive manner and the end result for the victim is often violence or death. The aggressor may desire to take the victim along with the vehicle, or, as is often the case, the attack and ensuing response from the victim results in a panicked aggressor who reacts with brute force. If the carjack victim is a woman, there is the additional risk of enduring a brutal rape.

*** begin quote ***
His voice rises as he weighs the questions yet again. How do you treat a child like an enemy combatant? How do you threaten violence, even in self-defense, against a little boy? How do you shoot a pistol-packing 12-year-old child so warped that he’s willing to blow you away just to steal a car whose dashboard he probably can’t even see over?
How do you not?
*** end quote ***
The news story calls a 15 year old a “pre-teen”. That’s wrong.
When a child picks up a weapon to do a felony, then they forfeit the label “child”.
We need some new labels.
A criminal threat makes one a “target”.

#6 Renowned investor Jim Sinclair is actually warning that the collapse of securitized mortgage debt could be the “final shot” that will wipe out many financial institutions across the United States.
The recent warning that Sinclair posted on his blog is more than a little sobering….
I am asking for your attention again because of the depth of the fraud and now the size of the securitized mortgage debt OTC derivative pile of garbage that is in the trillions. This entire mountain of weapons of mass financial and social destruction is now in question. I have been telling you this for more than 2 years since the manufacturers and distributors of this crap were called by the NY Fed due to the loss of control over the paperwork.
I had dinner with my former partner, then lead director of and CEO of Bear Stearns. I could not contain myself so I asked him why he did so much business in OTC derivatives which were certain to bankrupt them. The answer I got was it was more than 50% of their profit. The right answer should have been it was more than 80% of their earnings.
Securitized mortgage debt is going to be the final shot that kills all kinds of financial entities in the Western world. The biggest holder of this putrid junk is pension funds.

Regardless of the accuracy of this assertion, one can be sure that, between the Federal Reserve System and the corrupted politicians in the District of Corruption, this will become the taxpayer’s problem. fjohn

Interesting. If the polling is right, she’s 8 points behind. Are the D’s afraid she can win? If so, then I’m for her. Who cares if she’s a wack-a-loon. In two years, it’ll be time to vote her out. My new bumper sticker is “Reelect Nobody”. Now if some one named “nobody” runs, then I’ll have to revisit that diktat. :-) fjohn

Subject: Rush Was Right: Obama Now Targeting O’Donnell
Reply-To: newsmax@reply.newsmax.com
An Urgent Message From Our Sponsor
Dear Member:
President Obama and Joe Biden are making a special effort to target Christine O’Donnell.
As Rush Limbaugh recently asked, if the Democrats think O’Donnell is so off-the-wall, why are they spending so much money and time attacking her?
The answer is clear.
With the latest move by Obama and Biden, we now know that Delaware is in play.
Please read our Sponsor Christine’s urgent message below!

Yes, this article is about long-term care insurance. As you know, the planners and I at Edelman Financial strongly encourage most of our clients to obtain long-term care insurance. AARP estimates that 70% of Americans who are age 65 today will require long-term care at some point; the average cost is currently $74,000 per year, and in many metropolitan areas the cost exceeds $125,000 annually, according to a 2010 nationwide survey of nursing homes by Genworth Financial.

We’ve seen estates drained as well. Hopefully, everyone can have the old folks protect their life’s work. Argh! At the very least, Medicaid Trust.

Tablets Are Game-Changers For Special Needs Kids
by Soulskill
*** begin quote ***
theodp writes “The rise of mainstream tablets is proving to have unforeseen benefits for children with speech and communication problems and may disrupt a business where specialized devices can cost thousands of dollars. iPad apps like Proloquo2Go ($189) aim to help individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), cerebral palsy, down syndrome, developmental disabilities, ALS, traumatic brain injury, aphasia, apraxia, and more. Even Steve Jobs didn’t see this one coming: ‘We take no credit for this, and that’s not our intention,’ said Jobs, who’s been touched by email he gets from parents of special needs kids for whom the iPad is proving to be a life-changer. ‘Our intention is to say something is going on here,’ Jobs added, suggesting that researchers should ‘take a look at this.’ Even though they might cost significantly less than dedicated devices, SUNY speech pathologist Andrea Abramovich explained Medicare doesn’t cover consumer tablets because they could be used for non-medical purposes.”

How long before the politicians and bureaucrats wake up and update the Medicaid rules. Hmm, save money and preforms better. Seems like “obvious” to me. Argh! No wonder the Gooferment is held in such low regard. Might be useful for all sorts of unexpected things. That’s the beauty of the free market.

Obama, Condoleezza Rice chat about foreign policy, books
– Fri Oct 15, 6:29 pm ET
*** begin quote ***
WASHINGTON (AFP) – US President Barack Obama met Friday at the White House with former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice for a chat on foreign policy and her new memoir, officials said.
Rice gave the president a “personalized copy” of “Extraordinary, Ordinary People: A Memoir of Family,” in which Rice describes her childhood in racially segregated Birmingham, Alabama, a White House spokesman said.
The Oval Office meeting marked the first time Rice has been back to the White House since former president George W. Bush left office.
They discussed “a range of national security issues, and we’re going to leave it at that,” said Tommy Vietor, a White House spokesman.
*** and ***
Obama and Rice are both racial pioneers. He is America’s first African American president, and author of his own memoir “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,” and she is the highest-ranking black woman in the history of the executive branch of the US government.
*** and ***
Asked to grade his foreign policy, she refused.
“I’ve said very many times that I may not agree with everything that the administration has done, but I also know that it’s a lot harder in there than it is out here,” she said.
“Nobody needs to have people who’ve been there chirping at you about what you’re not doing right, because you can’t possibly know the whole range of considerations on any given day unless you’re in.”
*** end quote ***
That’s showing some sign of maturity. The President is in a bubble. He needs to hear different opinions. Especially form someone who’s been in the soup pot.
He moves up a notch in my opinion. (Not that anyone much cares about that.)
And she’s one classy lady. It’s too easy to Monday morning Qback. Like that line from the movie, “American President”, … “How’s the view from the cheap seats?”.
While I may disagree with just about everything BHO44 has chosen to do, I always remember I’m in the “cheap seats”.
His values aren’t mine. His results are his. We can certainly judge on the results. Sadly, the results are worse than one would have expected. But then Socialists will always disappoint. It comes from their roots. The first principle of Gooferment is force. And, things go downhill from there.
Argh!

Mine Rescue: Crisis Shows Chile’s President To Be the Kind of Leader That America Desperately Needs
Sebastián Piñera’s brilliant handling of the mine crisis showed the world his strong character while revealing weaknesses in the character of our own president.
October 15, 2010 – by Tim Daniel
*** begin quote ***
Look to Obama’s attack on BP as his administration, amidst crisis, floundered and flopped like an oil-soaked pelican. Or look to the ludicrous banana republic-esque saber rattling against the Chamber of Commerce as November 2 approaches. Or even the “public enemy number one” fixation on Fox News. Or worse and most damaging to us all, the slavish hostility directed at income earners and entrepreneurs across this nation.
In crisis and challenge, Piñera lifted up his entire nation as an example.
Obama has petulantly, willingly, and unflinchingly brought his down.
Character counts and so do ideas.
*** end quote ***
BHO44 has been a total disaster. Socialists usually are. In this case, he didn’t even make the trains run on time.
BUSH43 started off good in the case of the WTC911, but soon got off track. And, booted Katrina. But, Big Gooferment socialists are just as bad.
When will the Sheeple learn. All the politicians and bureaucrats are the same.
