The world has gone mad! One can HOPE that this show opens and closes the first day now that Obama’s star is beginning to fade.

The Eagleman thinks this one certainly needs to fly over the cuckoo’s nest. EAGLE OUT!

A musical about Barack Obama’s “Yes we can” election campaign premieres in Germany this weekend, including love songs by the president to his wife Michelle and duets with Hillary Clinton.

Even John McCain and Sarah Palin are given stage time, with actors portraying the losing Republican candidates and belting out songs on their behalf.

In all, 30 singers, actors and dancers are to perform in the musical “Hope — the Obama Musical Story” when it opens at the Jahrhunderthalle concert hall in Frankfurt in a bilingual mix of English and German. The audience may recognize that many songs quote from the politicians’ stump speeches during the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign.

“The story starts 20 years ago, when Obama worked as a community organizer in Chicago, and leads all the way to the 2008 campaign,” said Wilson.

Obama’s TARP Fund Benefits Deadbeats and Punishes Responsible Business

Allen Frederick 2 Comments

If there has been ANY DOUBT that the TARP Fund and ALL THE OTHER Money being sent to Washington is being used to BENEFIT the CHOSEN FEW this should put a lid on that once and for all. It should be obvious by now that the only ECONOMY Obama is STIMULATING is the economy of those who SUPPORT HIM. If you are a law abiding taxpaying citizen, not looking to government for a handout, this administration is going to make sure your WEALTH will be DISTRIBUTED to HIS CRONIES.

The TARP program has so far distributed $247 billion to more than 700 banks. Of that, $162 billion in principal and $11 billion in interest and dividends have already been repaid. Except for AIG, almost all banks that received taxpayer money are expected to pay back the American taxpayers in full. As The New York Times reports: “The losses from the bailout fund are expected from money paid to rescue Chrysler and General Motors and the insurance giant American International Group, and from a program to help homeowners avert foreclosures.”

So the real deadbeats that are not giving us “our money back” are not the banks, but the union-backed car companies and failed government mortgage modification programs. But guess what? The White House has chosen not to include the car companies among the institutions that will pay this so called “Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee.” Also exempted are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored entities that helped create the crisis.

Publix Supermarkets Earns DoDo Bird Award for P.C. Calendar

See what happens when you attempt to be all things to all people, you end up being of little use to anyone. Publix grocery offered a free calendar to their customers which included holidays of other nations but excluded days of remembrance important to our nation.

The last time I looked this was still the United States of America. We are not Venezuala, Cuba, Haiti, Mexico or any other nation. Those who come here should be coming here to become AMERICAN citizens and leaving their HOMELAND behind. We do not have to adapt to foreign citizens, they need to adapt to our language, customs, and heritage.

I am sick and tired of this POLITICAL correctness. It may be POLITICAL but it surely is not correct. Let those who come here become ONE OF US. E Pluribus Unum. Out of many ONE!

publixA free 2010 calendar given out in Publix supermarkets has South Florida buzzing.

On it, chain officials thought it’d be worth noting that December 7 marks “Islamic New Year.”

How about Pearl Harbor? Isn’t it on Dec. 7, 1941, that the Japanese carried a surprise attack on Hawaii, killing 2,350 and injuring 1,177 Americans, and pulling the United States into World War II?

“They put in Venezuelan and Cuban independence days,” he said.

And while some calendars now mark Sept. 11 as Patriot Day in remembrance of the 9-11 terror attacks, Publix’ freebies don’t include that either.

But the giant grocer didn’t forget Haitian Flag Day.

“But most people are outraged by what Publix forgot. If you’re going to be that way, then how about including Israel’s day? They forgot that, too, despite the Jewish population here.”

Evangelist Brit Hume?

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
Romans 1:16 (NKJV)

Brit Hume took a great deal of flack for his gospel message to Tiger Woods. I heard Brit give his advice and to me it sounded genuine. I mean it sounded like sound advice from someone who may have been where Tiger now is. I am so glad to hear someone actually speak the gospel message and not be ashamed of it. Christians we ought to be taking lessons from Brit and applaud him for his stance. He did not back down even when under pressure from other media talking heads.

Tiger you would do well to listen to your elder. And to the rest of America, take heed unto yourself so that you too do not fall into the same snare as Tiger Woods.

Fox News Senior Political Analyst Brit Hume has publicly offered advice for the wayward Tiger Woods.

On Fox News Sunday, Hume said he believed Woods to be a Buddhist, but that, in his opinion, that religion did not offer the pro-golfer the redemption and forgiveness he needed.

“My message to Tiger would be, ‘Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world,'” he said.
on The O’Reilly Factor.  Bill O’Reilly asked him why he had offered the sage advice.

“Tiger Woods is somebody I’ve always rooted for as a golfer and as a man,” Hume said.  “I’ve greatly admired him over the years, and I’ve always said to people that it was the content of his character that, beyond his extraordinary golf skills, made him so admirable.

“Now we know that the content of his character is not what we thought it was.  He is paying a frightful price for these revelations.  My sense about Tiger is that he needs something that Christianity, especially, provides.”

The Christmas Light

Insight from the Journey across the Sky

And the light goes on shining in the dark; it is not overcome by the dark. John 1:5 (BBE)


Fourth man

Traveling East on the PA turnpike late Christmas Eve a strange thing happened. As I was approaching the city limits of Philadelphia the sky grew brighter and my visibility increased greatly. It was like the sun was starting to rise. The only problem was the clock read 1 AM, far too early for a sunrise. But the closer I got to the city the brighter the sky appeared. I was amazed at how much light was being refracted off the low cloud cover and the light intensity being reflected off the snow covered ground. I do not recall ever seeing anything like this before in my life and I was truly awestruck. In fact I had to double check the time to make absolutely sure it was only 1 AM.

Light is an amazing thing. It does not take a lot of light to illuminate the night. Prior to reaching Philadelphia I had logged over 200 miles of dark stretches of the PA turnpike. I drove past several cities and did not notice this daylight effect until reaching the outskirts of Philadelphia. I really do not understand the science behind this strange lighted nighttime sky but it was truly a remarkable experience.


Since it was Christmas morning I thought it was appropriate that the sky would be illuminated by a mysterious light. Astronomers will probably be able to explain to me how exactly the night sky appeared as if dawn was approaching and I would enjoy any knowledge that could be shed on this phenomenon. My little bit of research for this article did not uncover anything but I am sure there is an explanation.

Today the Christian church celebrates Epiphany, the story of the wise men coming to Jerusalem from the East to follow a light seen shining in the Eastern sky. They too were amazed at the bright light in the Eastern Sky and sought out the meaning of it. They traveled to Jerusalem for they knew that a King of Israel was born, and Jerusalem was the seat of government so that is where they went to inquire of the new kings birth. Herod called all the chief priests and scribes together to inquire of the scriptures as to were exactly this king was to be born. Wouldn’t it be nice if our own government leaders would take time to inquire of the scriptures to explain the times and seasons.

Now when the birth of Jesus took place in Beth-lehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is the King of the Jews whose birth has now taken place? We have seen his star in the east and have come to give him worship. And when it came to the ears of Herod the king, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And he got together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, questioning them as to where the birth-place of the Christ would be. And they said to him, In Beth-lehem of Judaea; for so it is said in the writings of the prophet, You Beth-lehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the chiefs of Judah: out of you will come a ruler, who will be the keeper of my people Israel. Matthew 2:1-6

Unlike the wise me I, on the other hand, was heading East to join family and friends for Christmas day. I was not in search of a King, nor was I following a star, but because of this nighttime illumination I was reminded of the real meaning of the season. God’s magnificent creation was proclaiming all over again that Jesus is the Light of the world, and He had come to illuminate the darkness. Anyone who follows after the Light will not stumble around in darkness but have the light of life. John 8:12 NKJV


Have you seen the light? Has your life been illuminated by the light the shines in the darkness? Are you like the Wise men of old seeking the King whose star was seen shining in the Eastern sky? One day Jesus is going to come again and his coming will be like a light shining from East to West. Will you be ready when He appears?

Because as in a thunderstorm the bright light coming from the east is seen even in the west; so will be the coming of the Son of man. Matt 24:27 (BBE)

But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness. Isaiah 40:31 (BBE)
