Obama Pays For Apology Ads In Pakistan With Taxpayer Dollars - September 20, 2012 by Tim Brown - (WHY?)

How about all of the above? You have to be kidding me......this man has an ego that is beyond belief. He seriously thinks that he is "King of America." Does whatever the hell he wants and doesnt care what the citizens think because he knows that the MSM is in his pocket. If it wasnt for the fact I need my job, I would get the heck out of this country.
I received an email today that put Islam into perspective for me, kind of long but a good read....

This is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation
I have ever read. His references to past history are accurate and
clear. Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read. The
author of this email is Dr. Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and
well-respected psychiatrist.



This man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II,
owned a number of large industries and owned estates. When asked how
many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our
attitude toward fanaticism.



”Very few people were true Nazis,” he said, “but many enjoyed the
return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one
of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the
majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew
it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world
had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration
camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.”



We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that
Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims
just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be
true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to
make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectre of
fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.



The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It
is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50
shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically
slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are
gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is
the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the
fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who
zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and
homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to
become suicide bombers.



The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent
majority,' is cowed and extraneous.



Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in
peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of
about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant….
China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists
managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.



The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a
warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way
across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the
systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by
sword, shovel, and bayonet.



And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery? Could it not
be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?



History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our
powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of
points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their
silence.



Peace-loving Muslims are becoming our enemy when they don't speak up,
because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find
that the fanatics own them , and the end of their world will have
begun.



Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs,
Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many
others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until
it was too late. You can add Americans to this list!



As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only
group that counts--the fanatics who threaten our way of life.



Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes
this email without sending it on, is contributing to the passiveness
that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and send
this on and on and on! Let us hope that thousands, world-wide, read
this and think about it, and send it on before it's too late.



Now Islamic prayers have been introduced into Toronto and other public
schools in Ontario, and, yes, in Ottawa too while the Lord's Prayer
was removed (due to being so offensive?)



The Islamic way may be peaceful for the time being in our country
until the fanatics move in. And we are silent...

Money is a medium of exchange, and always has been. It represents wealth, but is not wealth itself.

Ultimately, for those of us who work for a living, money represents the time we work (particularly those of us making an hourly wage), and thus how much of that time (time off of our lives) we’re willing to give up to get something we want or need.

To make the math easier, let’s say you make $10/hour. If you buy a novel for $10, you’re effectively saying that that novel is worth an hour of your limited lifespan just to obtain the wherewithal to purchase it, not taking into account the time needed to actually find it at the physical or online bookstore, bring it home (including downloading it if online), and read it. Also, of course, there’s the money you spent on gas or Internet access, electricity for the desk lamp to read it by, etc

If you live to be 90 years old (not too unusual for women these days — men, not so much), about 30 years of that will be spent asleep. That leaves 60 years of waking time. Knock off more for other biological necessities (you’ll spend roughly a decade eating and in the bathroom, for instance). Ballpark: 50 years of time you can spend working, traveling, household chores, being with loved ones, doing recreational activities (including reading and posting on SodaHead), etc.

365¼ days per year × 50 years = 18,262.5 days × 24 hours per day = 438,300 hours not spent asleep, eating, in the bathroom, etc., assuming you live to be 90.

So, that book you just bought, just to get the money to pay for it (not counting any other time and expenses involved), subtracted an hour from that lifetime allotment, because you worked an hour to earn the money. That hour could’ve been used doing other things, like being with family, traveling, other recreational activities, etc., but you traded that hour for $10 that you could then trade for a novel. Why? Because you decided that it was worth it.

That hour of your labor was worth quite a bit more than $10 to your employer (or else you’d be laid off or outright fired). You provided more than $10 worth of income to the employer, doing whatever it was you were hired to do. In actuality, it wasn’t the hour itself that you traded, but the labor you did during that hour. But as far as you’re concerned, it was the hour itself that matters, because that’s one less hour you have in your life to do other things.

If you get a better job, one that pays $60 per hour, then paying for that same novel only represents ten minutes of your life. If you make $100 per hour, that novel’s purchase price represents six minutes of your life.
