Peter Gadiel

This Should NOT be!!

A father thwarted by "political correctness". The HELL with PC! You just cannot speak the TRUTH any more because somebody won't like it.

Too bad! Get over it.

Peter Gadiel wants everyone to remember his son, who died on 9/11, but he also wants people to remember how he died: 'Murdered by Muslim terrorists.' He wants this acknowledged.

"I think it's important, because I think there's a nationwide effort to suppress the identity of the people who were involved in the attacks," Gadiel told Fox News.

And this is so true. Even school textbooks are being "scrubbed" of the truth. Look into it and fight back!

Eight years ago, 23-year-old James Gadiel worked for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 103rd floor of the World Trade Center. He died when a hijacked plane crashed into the North Tower.

And WHO was flying that plane? A Muslim extremist terrorist determined to kill us infidels. And thousand upon thousands of those people are still trying the same thing. Just how stupid do you have to be to pretend this is not so?

For years, Gadiel's hometown of Kent, Conn., has wanted to honor the young man with a memorial plaque next to its town hall. But the tribute has hit a snag because James' father wants to include the phrase, "Murdered by Muslim terrorists," under his son's name.

The town does not want to offend anyone.

For Peter Gadiel, it is a central fact of the Sept. 11 attacks that is often left out. And most importantly, it is the TRUTH.

"It isn't just overlooked, it's suppressed," Gadiel said. "It's simply wrong to imply that people just died. The buildings didn't just collapse, they didn't just fall down — they were attacked by people with a specific identity, a specific purpose."

"Muslims have to acknowledge that it was their co-religionists who committed this act in their name," he said. "I am offended that unlike so many others, they refuse to acknowledge that it was their people who did this."

WH Taxes Health Care

We are getting more and more information from those who are actually reading that monstrosity of a health care bill. The Senate bill has tons of taxes on medical devices. They seem to think that we regular folks don't deserve such frivolous luxuries as pacemakers, stents, artificial heart valves, defibrillators, automated wheelchairs, mechanized artificial limbs, replacement hips and knees, surgical gurneys, laparoscopic equipment, and the like. They are taxing them! Like stuff isn't expensive enough? And then they have the nerve to point fingers at insurance companies? Who is really taking advantage of the sick here?

And here is the evolution of this dumbass idea…

The medical device industry had its day at the White House as did the insurance industry, the drug makers, the nurses, and the doctors. Each group was bombarded with demands for voluntary cuts in their health care costs and support Obama's proposed changes — in return for assurances that Congress would not impose deeper cuts (or, in the case of the doctors, that it would actually rescind cuts already scheduled under current statutes).

But, unlike all these other groups, the medical device industry refused the deal. This posture enraged the tyrants in the White House who vowed to punish the industry with cuts imposed by Congress. The result was a decision by the revenue-hungry Senate Finance Committee to extract billions in funds from the industry.

The legislation does not work like a sales or excise tax. Rather it follows the model of the punitive tobacco settlement imposed on cigarette companies in the 90s. It assesses an industry-wide payment which firms must make in proportion to their market share. It bars the them from passing along the cost of the assessment by charging more for certain basic products, but allows them to raise the price of others to raise the funds for the fee.

So, the result will be that virtually every piece of advanced surgical equipment will be subject to a price increase to meet the levy from Washington. No matter that these devices often make the difference between life and death and that, in effect, taxing them raises the cost of vital treatments. The vengeful White House will have its pound of flesh from the medical device industry for daring to be independent and to refuse to knuckle down to Administration pressure!

….and meanwhile, 14 Americans died today in Afghanistan. You would think he would get off the pot and send backup over there.

Mark Lloyd, Diversity Czar

FCC’s Chief Diversity Officer Wants Private Broadcasters to Pay a Sum Equal to Their Total Operating Costs to Fund Public Broadcasting

Mark Lloyd, newly appointed Chief Diversity Officer of the Federal Communications Commission, has called for making private broadcasting companies pay licensing fees equal to their total operating costs to allow public broadcasting outlets to spend the same on their operations as the private companies do.He is taking us backwards in race relations, putting an emphasis on race and ratios in employment. So much for getting along.

He hails Hugo Chavez – the one who shut down any opposing TV stations and rules as a dictator. He’s the role model?

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is a non-profit entity that was created by Congress and that currently receives hundreds of millions of dollars in federal subsidies each year. In fiscal 2009, it is receiving an appropriation of $400 million.

“The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) must be reformed along democratic lines and funded on a substantial level,” Lloyd wrote in his book.

“Federal and regional broadcast operations and local stations should be funded at levels commensurate with or above those spending levels at which commercial operations are funded,” Lloyd wrote. “This funding should come from license fees charged to commercial broadcasters. Funding should not come from congressional appropriations. Sponsorship should be prohibited at all public broadcasters.”

Along with this money, Lloyd would regulate much of the programming on these stations to make sure they focused on “diverse views” and government activities.Translation: censorship

“Local public broadcasters and regional and national communications operations should be required to encourage (aka FORCED) and broadcast diverse views and programs,” wrote Lloyd. “These programs should include coverage of all local, state and federal government meetings, as well as daily news and public issues programming.

“In addition, educational programs for children and adults, and diverse, independent personal and cultural expression should be encouraged,” he wrote.

He wants to shut down radio he does not like. Heck, he’s eyeing the Internet as his next target.

We are about to lose our right to free speech. Leave my radio and Internet alone.

From someone who lived under both facism and communism: This country is being taken over by communists and will become a communist country.

Shine the light on them and thery will scurry like the cockroaches they are.

Fox News Derangement Syndrome (FNDS)

Fox News Derangement Syndrome strikes again

Oval Office Idiots

And the Chairman Mao-loving Anita Dunn said:

“What I think is fair to say about Fox — and certainly it’s the way we view it — is that it really is more a wing of the Republican Party,” said Anita Dunn, White House communications director, on CNN. “They take their talking points, put them on the air; take their opposition research, put them on the air. And that’s fine. But let’s not pretend they’re a news network the way CNN is.”

What an ass she is. She raises up a mass murderer to hero status and then lectures us on Fox News – correction – LIES to us about Fox News — all while kissing CNN’s butt. Fox News has nothing to do with the GOP. In fact, it will criticize a GOP member as quickly as a Democrat — perhaps more so since they expect more of a Republican.

Then Rahm is trotted out to libel Fox News calling it "entertainment". Another ass. That is so disrespectful, but they are trying so hard to keep telling those who do not know, these lies and they hope it will eventually convince some out there.

Jeez, just look for yourselves, people. All day long is news. NEWS. Evening shows are commentary – opinion. The White House just really, really hates the commentary. Guess Fox is hitting a nerve. Otherwise, why spend all this time smearing a TV Network.

Don’t they have more important things to do….like fix the screwups that have resulted in 10% unemployment? How about Afghanistan – that "War of Necessity" that is being IGNORED for some reason….

Pay Czar's Authority to Restrict Salary Raises Questions for Small Business Owners

Ken Feinberg, Pay Czar I am so damned tired of being told what to do, what to say (what not to say), what to think, whom to believe, what to watch (or not watch). Who the hell are these people making these decisions for me? Why is Obama's judgment any better than yours when uit coems to YOUR LIFE?

Well, it isn't. And it IS time to tell them all to shut up. To shove it.

You know, when the news told us that Feinberg ordered steep pay cuts for executives at bailed-out firms, we might have cheered. But always question where this sort of power ends up. For now it is at OUR doorstep. He wants to dictate to small business owners – YOUR employers. The more they mess with business, the worse it gets. For us.

This Washington pay czar could have practically unlimited power to regulate compensation at any company that gets federal funding, lawyers say — even if his legal authority is sketchy.

The fact that Washington is again meddling with contracts — following a stalled attempt by Congress in March to halt AIG bonuses — has revived charges that the federal government is overstepping its bounds. Lawyers say Feinberg could be trampling on legally binding agreements.

But according to The Associated Press, the Federal Reserve is now proposing to police banks' pay policies — even for those that didn't receive a bailout.

Judge Andrew Napolitano, Fox News judicial analyst, said the government is embarking down a slippery slope.

"If bankers don't challenge this, if they supinely accept it out of fear of what the government will do if they do challenge … then you have a nation of sheep," he said.

"I don't think that anybody will fail to comply," said Sedgwick. "Any move the government makes can be challenged in court, but I'm kind of doubtful."

Baaaaa.

This Chicago-style of politics is disgusting.

Al Gore Lies About Polar Bears

No Comments

October 14, 2009 at 6:16 pmCategory:Global Warming | Hoaxes and Lies

See Al Gore at the Society of Environmental Journalists’ convention in Madison, Wisconsin.
See Irish filmmaker Phelim McAleer, director of Not Evil, Just Wrong, a movie critical of the global warming movement confronting Gore.
See Gore sweat (must be that darned global warming).

It seems that Gore’s flick, An Inconvenient Truth, is so packed with fraud and lies (gee, what a surprise – as Gore continues to rake in the millions made off this hoax.)

The question asked of Gore was: "The judge in the British High Court, after a lengthy hearing, found that there were nine significant errors [in the movie]. This has been shown to children. Do you accept those findings, and have you done anything to correct those errors?"

Gore brushed off the question by going straight to the sweet polar bears. "You don’t think they’re endangered?" Gore demanded of McAleer. (uh, no, their numbers are increasing)

But the United Kingdom’s High Court in London ruled that An Inconvenient Truth contains "alarmist and exaggerated" content which can only be legally shown to school children if accompanied by a warning regarding the film’s blatant "political brainwashing."

In his ruling, Judge Michael Burton said the "apocalyptic vision presented in the film was politically partisan and thus not an impartial scientific analysis of climate change." It was, he continued, the work of a "talented politician and communicator, to make a political statement and to support a political program."

Because he could not find a real polar bear succumbing to heat stroke in an iceless sea, Al Gore had to use an animated polar bear drowning in his movie. Finding the real deal is virtually impossible.

Truth is, polar bears are prospering. Residents of Barrow, Alaska, the state’s northern-most city, are always heavily armed with loaded shotguns when out and about, because of this population explosion. When in contact with a polar bear they are instructed to shoot to kill at close range.
