Defining the People Who Should Pray

Canada Free Press, by Robert Preyss Original Article

Posted By: HisHandmaiden- 10/24/2012 11:12:53 AM Post Reply

November 1, 2012, is a day we set aside for a National Call to Prayer and Fasting for the Restoration of America. We have already defined the need for such a large coordinated prayer. We also know Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a Day of Prayer and Fasting during the great Civil War.(snip) Pray for America, for all men and women written into the Book of Life before all worlds, that their eyes be opened now. Pray for these recognizable types you see every day: The Agnostic, whose child sang, “Jesus Loves Me This I know.” Without faith

President Barack Obama’s upcoming starring role in SEAL Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden, set to air on the National Geographic Channel two days before the election, has been eclipsed by his bigger role in a real time, real life drama. “The film which originally included a scene showing Gov. Mitt Romney “appearing to oppose the raid”, a complete fabrication of history” (New York Times, Oct. 23, 2012) is after all just the fluff of made-for-television movies. The real life drama, the one where emails prove he knew the deaths of four Americans, including

White House e-mails blow

President Obama is playing the media and, in turn, the American people for fools on the Libya scandal. Reporters and columnists who carried his water have been hung out to dry. The White House cover story — namely that CIA got it all wrong and the White House (in urging us to believe the murder of four Americans was the result of a video riot gone bad) was telling us what it knew, when it knew — has been severely undercut.

A tourist mecca like Venice now boasts that it dreams of breaking away from an insolvent Italy. Similarly Barcelona, and perhaps the Basques and the Catalonians in general, claim they want no part of a bankrupt Spain. Scotland fantasizes about becoming separate from Great Britain. (Snip)Why is there today a nostalgia for localism? Shrinking Western populations with growing numbers of elderly and unemployed can no longer sustain their present level of redistributive taxation and entitlements.

Ouch. Monday night was the first time I heard my daughter apply that label to herself, and the word didn't please me. She and six friends/coworkers were about to watch the final Obama-Romney debate on the large-screen TV in our suburban basement. These twenty-something kiddies were enjoying our hospitality because it was free. They're a company (founder, partners, contractors, trainee), part of the start-up trend whereby young persons hang out at coffee shops, staring into laptops, trying to start the next Foursquare or Fab and make a billion dollars.

Arkansas State Lawmaker Resigns
After ‘Vodka for Votes’ Scheme

Nine people have been charged with voter fraud in a district in Arkansas, after a scheme was uncovered in which half-pint bottles of vodka were used to buy votes. Three of those charged have pleaded guilty, including Democratic State Representative Hudson Hallum who has since resigned. Hallum had allegedly told a local city councilman — who is now a co-defendant — that they “need to use that black limo and buy a couple of cases of some cheap vodka and whiskey to get people to vote.”

With just two weeks to go until Election Day, the race for Ohio’s 18 Electoral College votes is a tie. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Ohio Voters, taken the night after the final presidential debate, shows both President Obama and Mitt Romney attracting 48% of the vote. Two percent (2%) plan to vote for some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided.

Republican hopes for taking back the Senate this year have absorbed a variety of blows in the past several months. Olympia Snowe’s retirement and Todd Akin’s comments about pregnancy and rape dramatically reduced the chances of a GOP takeover.

GREENSBORO, N.C. –The presidential election is just around the corner and voting issues have already become a problem in Guilford County. On Monday, several voters complained that their electronic ballot machine cast the wrong vote. All the complaints were made by people who voted at the Bur-Mil Park polling location. One of the voters, Sher Coromalis, says she cast her ballot for Governor Mitt Romney, but every time she entered her vote the machine defaulted to President Obama. “I was so upset that this could happen,” said Coromalis.

Two years ago few voters outside Wrentham and its environs knew much about Scott Brown beyond the pickup truck, the barn jacket, and his pledge both to stand squarely in the path of Obamacare and to cut an independent path in Washington. Brown still has the truck and the barn jacket, though the props are less prominent now that he has a voting record to go along with them. And on that score he has kept the promises he made during that special election campaign. There is every reason to believe Brown will continue

Testimony from FBI agent

DEL RIO — Maverick County Commissioner Rodolfo Bainet Heredia was involved in a bid-rigging scheme, engaged in sex tourism and sold his truck to the presumptive leader of the Zetas drug cartel, an FBI agent said Tuesday during Heredia's detention hearing. A federal magistrate judge ordered Heredia, 54, to be held without bail on cash-smuggling and money-laundering charges. Heredia, who was arrested last week, has been indicted only on those charges, fairly minor in comparison to the allegations made during the hearing.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – The emir of Qatar received a hero's welcome during a landmark visit to Gaza on Tuesday, becoming the first head of state to visit the Palestinian territory since the Islamist militant Hamas seized control of the coastal strip five years ago. The landmark visit by Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani handed the ruling Hamas — branded terrorists by the West and isolated by an Israeli blockade — its biggest diplomatic victory since taking power. It was also a strong sign of the rising power of oil-rich Qatar,

Now that we know that the Obama administration knew within two hours of the assault that an Al Qaeda affiliated group was claiming responsibility for the Benghazi attacks that murdered Ambassador Stevens, Glenn Doherty, Tyrone Woods and Sean Smith, let's take a look back. Here is a devastating video from The Heritage Foundation, showing the Obama administration's concerted efforts to portray the Benghazi terrorist attack on America as a "spontaneous uprising" resulting from outrage over a YouTube video:

Energy Is Everywhere

There is no substitute for energy. The whole edifice of modern society is built upon it ... It is not “just another commodity” but the precondition of all commodities, a basic factor equal with air, water, and earth.—E. F. Schumacher, 1973 Energy costs are experienced in many ways in American society. There is, of course, the cost of energy you pay for directly, such as your monthly electricity and gas bills, gasoline, and so on. But people also pay for energy that they consume indirectly — that is, in the goods and services they consume.

Broadening the battlefield:
Romney to travel to Wisconsin
as Obama desperately tries
to cling to turf he won in 2008

Daily Mail (UK), by Toby Harnden Original Article

Mitt Romney is to travel to Wisconsin, a state Barack Obama won in a 14-point blowout four years ago, as the Republican candidate's surging campaign seeks to expand the 'chessboard' into previously safe Democratic territory. At the same time, the Romney campaign has bought television advertising in the Boston market, which reaches screens in New Hampshire, a state Obama won by almost 10 points in 2008. Asked whether Romney himself would be visiting Wisconsin in the closing days of the race, Eric Fehrnstrom, a senior Romney adviser, said: 'Yes. Paul Ryan was just in Pittsburgh. We'll be back

The Des Moines Register’s publisher and I spoke with President Barack Obama this morning — but we can’t tell you what he said. Just four days before the Register’s presidential endorsement is released, Laura Hollingsworth and I received a phone call from the president. He was calling from Florida, on the heels of a morning campaign appearance and about 14 hours after his debate with GOP nominee Mitt Romney at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla. The conference call lasted nearly 30 minutes and was an incredibly informative exchange of questions, answers and an insightful glimpse

GOLDEN, Colo.- Clint Eastwood is back -- without a chair and on script -- cutting a new ad urging voters to support Mitt Romney. The ad, entitled "At Stake", is a 30-second spot from the super PAC American Crossroads, which supports Republican candidates around the country and is run by Karl Rove."In the last few years, America's been knocked down," Eastwood's distinctive raspy voice says over images of an abandoned factory and unemployed workers. "When someone doesn't get the job done, you've gotta hold them accountable," Eastwood continues. "We need someone who can turn it around fast and that man

Obama's bid to school Romney on

Barack Obama's reelection campaign is in trouble. It's silently slowing down in North Carolina and now, even Florida. Even raising hundreds of millions in a record number of fundraisers, his campaign has had to borrow from a bank. Obama can't admit it all though. And he desperately needs to motivate his vaunted ground troops in these last 13 days. So, in Monday's debate the Democrat wasn't trying to stem the hemorrhaging of independents and women from his side. He was trying to serve some red meat to rally party loyalists after his disappointing debate performances.

Debate: Obama’s Auto-Bailout Whopper

The Boca Raton Bout was focused on foreign policy, but one subplot was of particular interest to Michigan’s economy: President Obama’s whopper on the auto bailout. For the first time, the two candidates went head-to-head on the Government Motors details — and Obama got it wrong. Badly wrong. Damn-the-facts-I’m-clinging-to-my-talking-points wrong. For the record, Mitt Romney has always suggested that he favored a managed bankruptcy with government support if needed (a fact that grates on many libertarian-minded conservatives) — despite Obama & Associated Press attempts to twist the facts. “The federal government should provide guarantees for post-bankruptcy financing

On Oct 21, I had a post based on leads breaking out of the Middle East which indicated Obama may be planning a November surprise. And recent actions in Qatar are shining a light on that possibility once again. As I wrote on the 21st, certain members of our military in the Middle East have heard possibilities that we could move against Iran, or elsewhere in the Middle East, days before the election. Although they provided no specifics on what form this action could take, some of them reported receiving upgraded clearances

Springfield’s budget director says the city is out of options to be reimbursed for expenses associated with hosting then-Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign stop in the fall of 2008. “Short of suing the campaign, which isn’t really going to do anything — it would drag on forever — there’s really nothing we can do,” said Bill McCarty. “We’ve tried.” Obama introduced his running mate, Joe Biden, at the Old State Capitol in August 2008. About 160 police officers and nine civilians helped provide protection for Obama’s visit, according to an invoice from the city.

“Romney Surges to Tie Obama” screams a Wall Street Journal headline. Republicans are giddy with excitement. Can it be? After months of trailing the likable President Obama, could Mitt Romney be about to pull off the rare defeat of an incumbent? It may all come down to who turns up to vote on Election Day. The AFL-CIO is gearing up to get out the vote, pulling in more than 128,000 volunteers who will knock on doors, man the phone banks and blanket the countryside with flyers.

Back in May, I wrote a column laying out possible scenarios for the 2012 campaign different from the conventional wisdom that it would be a long, hard slog through a fixed list of target states like the race in 2004. I thought alternatives were possible because partisan preferences in the half-dozen years before 2004 were very stable, while partisan preferences over the last half-dozen years have been anything but. Now, after Mitt Romney's big victory in the Oct. 3 debate and his solid performances in the Oct. 16 and 22 debates,

Lance Armstrong has plenty of friends in high places, and he wasn’t going to go down without a fight. With pressure building from the United States Anti-Doping Agency investigation, the Lance Armstrong Foundation sent a lobbyist to Capitol Hill this summer to raise questions about USADA’s financing, mission and authority — even though USADA’s probe had nothing to do with the charity’s mission to assist cancer patients and their families. But the lines between Armstrong, Livestrong and Armstrong’s sponsors have long been blurred, and separating them is virtually impossible. Armstrong may not literally get a cut of every yellow Livestrong bracelet
