Letter To Obama at Whitehouse Sent from 95 year Old Pearl Harbor Survivor!
AIPNews.com
'America's Heroes, America's Principles'
This venerable and much honored WW II vet is well known in Hawaii for his seventy-plus years of service to patriotic organizations and causes all over the country. A humble man without a political bone in his body, he has never spoken out before about a government official, until now. He dictated this letter to a friend, signed it and mailed it to the president.
Dear [Alleged] President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor , allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.
One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.
So here goes.
I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.
I can't figure out what country you are the president of.
You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
" We're no longer a Christian nation"
" America is arrogant" - (Your wife even
announced to the world," America is mean-
spirited. " Please tell her to try preaching
that nonsense to 23 generations of our
war dead buried all over the globe who
died for no other reason than to free a
whole lot of strangers from tyranny and
hopelessness.)
I'd say shame on the both of you, but I don't think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.
After 9/11 you said," America hasn't lived up to her ideals."
Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.
I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.
Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.
Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue . You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.
And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts , who was putting up a fight? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.
One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.
You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.
You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.
And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle...
Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes

Obama is our political Katrina
an opinion exclusive
Thu, 08 Jul 2010
by: Tom Kovach
Why didn't I think of this sooner?
Barack Hussein Obama II, the alleged president of these United States, might be remembered as "the political storm of the century". In fact, some political scientists could regard him as "an extinction-level event" for our American way of life. The parallels between the Obama regime and Hurricane Katrina are astounding.
We were warned
Long before Katrina became a Category-5 storm, meteorologists warned that it could become one. They even accurately predicted the storm's track, well in advance of landfall. Warnings were issued. Warnings were repeated. Yet, many residents stayed in New Orleans and suffered terribly. Then, after the storm had passed, they blamed the same government for not warning them.
Long before Obama became an occupier of the White House (compare that word with "occupant"), there were astute political observers warning that he spelled trouble. Way back in 2004, one political stalwart -- Dr. Alan Keyes -- pulled up his residency from Baltimore and moved hundreds of miles to Chicago in order to challenge Obama for the open US Senate seat. If every voter in America that calls himself a conservative had sent Keyes only one dollar, then there would never have been a Senator Obama to be nominated as candidate Obama. But, after the alleged election of Obama, many of those same conservatives tried to blame Keyes and others for somehow causing Obama to allegedly win.
the devastation was far-reaching
Part of the reason that Katrina was so devastating was because residents ignored the warnings. Instead of literally fleeing for their lives, they took a "deer in the headlights" stance that ensured their injury. Then, knowing that looting was likely in the wake of the storm, many New Orleans residents voluntarily gave up their weapons to police that should've been hunting for looters instead of shaking down law-abiding citizens for their legally-owned weapons. People well outside of the New Orleans area were affected by Katrina. (I remember when the remnants of Katrina passed over Nashville, almost 500 miles from Katrina's landfall. It rained constantly for days.)
Part of what makes the Obama effect so devastating is that so many people ignored the warnings. And, after the car-dealership closings, and the brokerage-house bonuses, and the push-instead-of-pullout war policy, people just kept insisting that Obama would soon get his "sea legs" and start acting like an American president. (Some of us would be overjoyed if he would simply act like an American....) Knowing that more devastation would be on the way if they did not actively investigate his Constitutional eligibility, Congress instead chose the "deer in the headlights" approach, and voluntarily stood by and did nothing even in the face of active voter intimidation. (Obama's regime ordered the case against the Panthers to be dismissed.) Now, many of the people that put one hand on a voting lever and held the other hand out for Obama to fill it are realizing that they are stuck with a big handful of ... misery. And, because those people did not take appropriate action early on, we are now stuck with far-reaching foreign-policy problems, such as turning our collective back upon Israel. And, anyone that speaks out in a meaningful way against Obama could soon face his "civilian national-security force" (nicknamed the ObaMilitia), or have their Internet switch turned off.
some say that it was intentional
People on the political Left tried to blame President Bush for the government's alleged "inaction" regarding Hurricane Katrina. (The government issued weather warnings. That is their job. The job of the populace was to heed the warnings.) Some have gone so far as to claim (in total defiance of the facts) that Bush intentionally did not "help" people more in New Orleans because he was targeting poor, Black people. (What about all the poor White people that were hurt? What about all the wealthy Black people that lost homes and businesses?) Some on the Left and the Right claim that Hurricane Katrina was steered and/or intensified by high-tech weaponry such as the HAARP. Some claim that Katrina was manipulated by rogue elements of the United States government, while others claim that foreign governments did the dirty deed. If the allegations are true, then whoever steered Hurricane Katrina is ruthless beyond ordinary description.
Some people claim that Obama is the product of "grooming" for his current role. Some claim that his acts to undermine American principles and sovereignty arise from his Muslim background. Others claim that his anti-American activities are because of Communist mentors, such as Frank Marshall Davis. (As I've written for years, Communism and Islamo-fascism have the same goals.) Although he did not spend much time in his Kenyan birthplace, the culture seems to have influenced his pro-Left, anti-Christian politics. Regardless of whether Obama was steered by Islam, Communism, or a combination of the two, it has become obvious to anyone but a welfare addict that his devastation upon America has been intense and far-reaching. And, whoever steered Obama toward the White House is ruthless beyond ordinary description

A Declaration of Personhood Now!

'The Personhood Imperative'

'The Personhood Imperative'
Above: The Personhood NOW Team in Florida
I recently talked to a nationally known Christian leader who opposes the Personhood Amendment in the state of Florida. His reasoning was that with the current make-up of the Supreme Court, that it is “bad timing.” I then asked him what was his organization’s plan to finally ending all child killing in Florida. He said, “We want a Human Life Amendment to the Constitution. No question!” But as for right now, he opposes any attempt at it. He is also weighing if he should publicly make a statement against Personhood.
Then I thought about the oddity of making such a statement. These “pro-life” organizations publicly ally themselves with the pro-abortion advocates who oppose Personhood, but they secretly hope to switch sides once they will see that Personhood Amendments are gaining ground. They even agree that we will win eventually. It reminds me of the Italians in World War Two. No one today remembers that the nation of Italy eventually helped defeat Hitler. They only remember Mussolini. They remember that Christian leaders in Italy did not do enough to oppose Hitler. That is how the “Christian” enemies of Personhood will be remembered too.
I can understand the “timing” issue. There is a time when a frontal assault may not be wise. American troops didn’t enter the front against Hitler until we thought we could win. But we did what we could in the meantime to show our support for nations such as Great Britain who were already in the thick of the battle. In any case, I can’t understand working against a strategy that we think must eventually win.
What we need to say to the “pro-life” enemies of the state Personhood Amendments, is that this is a battle for “right now.” This is not a political or social battle. It is a covenantal battle. Pro-abortion laws are not fought against because of political expediency. Child murder is a gross act of rebellion and idolatry against God.
We will be judged by God and by history as to whether we obeyed from the beginning. Partial obedience is disobedience. Delayed obedience is disobedience. Incremental obedience is disobedience. God requires total obedience to the best of our knowledge and ability.
The war isn’t going to be won by a clever or pragmatic approach. It is going to be won because God sees full repentance among a remnant of His people. I submit that the remnant is here, but simply needs to be activated with this knowledge that we are in a covenantal battle and that we will inevitably win the war if we obey. If we work toward Personhood NOW, we will eventually get there. If we delay our obedience, then we will be counted among those who opposed Personhood when our support was needed the most.

BROWN: PLANNED PARENTHOOD’S PUSH FOR MILITARY ABORTIONS AN AFFRONT TO HUMAN RIGHTS

Washington, DC (06 July 2010) – Judie Brown, president of American Life League, issued the following statement in response to Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Richards issued an action alert July 4 calling for abortions at military hospitals.
“On the very day we celebrate the American dream of promoting and protecting liberty and human rights for all, for which hundreds of thousands of patriots have shed their blood, Cecile Richards, the abortion industry’s current matriarch, has a better idea: enshrining child killing on our military bases.
“Abortion is nothing more or less than an atrocity—an unspeakable violation of human rights and an affront to the American dream. For Cecile Richards to brazenly insist that American military bases, which symbolize “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” for millions worldwide, should participate in this genocide is a slap in the face to every soldier and every patriot who ever pledged allegiance to the American flag and all it stands for.
“Has this woman no shame? I don’t know what kind of macabre Fourth of July party the Richards family celebrates, but for American Life League, Independence Day was a joyful yet sobering call to national renewal. Our mission is that of the Founding Fathers and American patriots for over two centuries: to make the thrilling words of the Declaration of Independence a reality. We will not rest until all Americans are recognized as equal and protected under the law as human persons.
“Planned Parenthood has once again made loud and clear its disdain for liberty and equality, its hatred of American principles and its desire to defraud Americans of their inalienable rights. We are putting Planned Parenthood on notice: Americans will not long remain deaf to the demands of justice.”
American Life League was cofounded in 1979 by Judie Brown. It is the largest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the United States and is committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the moment of creation to natural death.
