By journaling about the patterns of dream symbols it can serve as help by translating the dreams that we really feel the need to know about.

Today dreamers and dream analysis researchers looking for data for common dreams, still turn to Sigmund Freud’s’ theories of human dreams more than 100 years later.

During this time Sigmund Freud started a psychiatric practice that focused on the interpretation of dreams. It was discovered dreams are an experience that all people share.

Common Dreams
People have so many genetic characteristic traits in common. This is the reason that we are able to create huge databases of common dreams analysis information.

They are made readily available online and are a great source of finding out what dreams are made of in general.

Dream dictionaries are a wonderful way to learn about a relevant example of a dream you’ve had and wondered what dream meanings may apply to it.

Not always is the dream analysis applicable to every individual. One of the most common dreams that people have is about teeth or a tooth . Here are a few different dream meanings.

CLOVER
A clover field in a dream is a fortunate augury, especially if the clover is in bloom. Bees in -a clover field augur prosperity and contentment.

COGWHEEL
those who are in love are likely to have slight disagreements if they dream of cogwheels in smooth motion. If a tooth on one of the wheels is broken it predicts disaster to a love affair.

COBWEB
It is bad luck to dream of seeing cobwebs on any article that should be kept bright with use, such as a Bible, toothbrush, etc. It is good luck to dream of cobwebs on bottles of wine.

COTTON
It is a sign that you will never go hungry if you dream of picking cotton. To walk through a field of ripe cotton foretells ease unless you are accompanied by an undesirable companion, in which case the portent is of worry. To put medicated cotton in an aching tooth means that you will have a visitor. To see a cotton-gin at work is a sign that you will suffer a disability.

Becoming a parent is a wonderful point in a couples’ life. But there is always the fear of the unknown. With that fear is often fuel for dreams before, during, and after pregnancy. Having children and getting fat are common dreams and main worries for woman.
What if you had quintuplets?

If you dream about having quintuplets here’s what it means
It is a favorable augury to dream of seeing a group of quintuplets of any age or sex. An early marriage is predicted to lovers and a happy home life to those who are married.

It is a portent of obstacles overcome for a woman to dream of giving birth to quintuplets.
A woman with a desire to be pregnant may dream spiders, being fat or giving birth.

If a married woman dreams of giving birth to a child, great happiness and a large legacy are foretold. For a single woman, loss of reputation and desertion by her lover. It is a warning against careless behavior.

Birth Words that we Dream About

BIRTH CONTROL- this is a propitious dream for married people. The prophecy is of sturdy children who will prove a blessing to their parents.

BIRTHDAY- To be present at a birthday celebration predicts poverty to the young; to the old, many troubles and loneliness

"Two men look out through the same bars: One sees the mud, and one sees the stars."- Frederick Langbridge, A Cluster of Quiet Thoughts

If you’ve placed second in a writing contest, will you jump for joy and push for better results the next time or will you be discouraged and find an excuse not to join again?

In life, you are always filled with choices. You may opt to have a pessimist’s view and live a self-defeated life or you may decide to take the optimist’s route and take a challenging and fulfilling life.

So why nurture an optimist’s point of view? And why now?

Well, optimism has been linked to positive mood and good morale; to academic, athletic, military, occupational and political success; to popularity; to good health and even to long life and freedom from trauma.

Here’s how optimists are in action and researches that back up why it really pays to be an optimist:

Optimists expect the best

The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe bad events, which will last a long time and undermine everything they do, are their own fault.

The truth is optimists are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world. What differs is the way they explain their misfortune—it’s the opposite way. They tend to believe defeat is just a temporary setback, that its causes are confined to this one case.

Optimists tend to focus on and plan for the ‘problem’ at hand. They use ‘positive reinterpretation.’ In other words, they most likely reinterpret a negative experience in a way that helps them learn and grow. Such people are unfazed by bad situation, they perceive it is a challenge and try harder.

They won’t say “things will never get better,” “If I failed once, it will happen again” and “If I experience misfortune in one part of my life, then it will happen in my whole life.”

Positive expectancies of optimists also predict better reactions during transitions to new environments, sudden tragedies and unlikely turn of events. If they fall, they will stand up. They see opportunities instead of obstacles.

People respond positively to optimists

Optimists are proactive and less dependent on others for their happiness. They find no need to control or manipulate people. They usually draw people towards them. Their optimistic view of the world can be contagious and influence those they are with.

Optimism seems a socially desirable trait in all communities. Those who share optimism are generally accepted while those who spread gloom, panic and hysteria are treated unfavorably.

In life, these people often win elections; get voted most congenial and sought for advice.

When the going gets tough, optimists get tougher

Optimists typically maintain higher levels of subjective well-being during times of stress than do people who are less optimistic. In contrast, pessimists are likely to react to stressful events by denying that they exist or by avoiding dealing with problems. Pessimists are more likely to quit trying when difficulties arise.

They persevere. They just don’t give up easily, they are also known for their patience. Inching their way a step closer to that goal or elusive dream.

Optimists are healthier and live longer

Medical research has justified that simple pleasures and a positive outlook can cause a measurable increase in the body’s ability to fight disease.

Optimists’ health is unusually good. They age well, much freer than most people from the usual physical ills of middle age. And they get to outlive those prone to negative thoughts.

So why not be an optimist today? And think positively towards a more fulfilled life.

Why not look forward to success in all your endeavors? Why not be resilient? Like everybody else you are bound to hit lows sometimes but don’t just stay there. Carry yourself out of the mud and improve your chances of getting back on the right track. And why not inspire others to remove their dark-colored glasses and see life in the bright side?

As President Clinton’s campaign mouthpiece James Carville put it so succinctly in the 1990s, “It’s the economy, stupid!” It was true then, it is true now. People may be temporarily seduced by intriguing figures and rosy promises but, bottom line, they still have to support their families and pay their bills. When the novelty of this or that politician has worn off and his or her pie-in-the-sky promises prove just so many hollow words, reality sets in.

I am no economy expert, except for seeing every day that Americans are both depressed and terrified about their rapidly devolving savings and the inflation that has already hit them at the supermarket. The other day, I was visiting my mother in the nursing home she has lived in for the past several years, where at least 75 percent of the employees are African-Americans who heartily voted for Obama.

This was a conversation I heard in the elevator.

He: how are you doing?

She: Another day, another dollar.

He: Hey, for me it’s another day, another fifty cents.

She: Me, too. I’m down to one meal a day!

As I said, I’m not an expert on the economy person, so I will cite those who are, with lots of bullets to emphasize the horror – and Buyer’s Remorse – that Americans are now waking up to as they realize that the hope-and-change candidate they voted for in November is just another Socialist-cum-Marxist-cum-Communist whose regime (it’s certainly not an administration) threatens to transform America into yet another failed and impoverished Banana Republic.

THOSE IN THE KNOW

Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D., an expert in domestic and international financial markets and the bestselling author of The Ultimate Safe Money Guide, has documented the following. We now have:
•   A new surge in unemployment that, even without counting those who are excluded from the official numbers, amount to 14.7 million who are now jobless, the most since records dating back to 1948. Worse, for the first time since the Great Depression, every single job created after the prior recession has been wiped out.
•   Industrial production is falling at the same pace as it did in the early 1930s.
•   Global trade is falling at twice the pace of the early 1930s.
•   California – the nation’s most populous state, with the largest GDP and the greatest impact on the entire U.S. economy – is collapsing.
•   Consumers are slashing their spending, small businesses are laying-off their workers, cities and states are forced to gut their budgets.
•   The most radical government countermeasures in a 100 years.
•   The biggest federal deficits in 200 years.

Weiss lists the bald-faced lies that Obama lackeys have foisted on the American public, Imageincluding Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke lying to “60 Minutes” in March that he detected “green shoots” in the economy, Wall Street gurus lying about “the end of the bear market,” labor officials lying about “a big turnaround in our nation’s job market,” California officials lying that they would never default but two days later defaulting on its short-term debt obligations to countless vendors and taxpayers and unilaterally issuing millions of dollars in I.O.U.s that few financial institutions accepted.

Weiss also reports that the following government “help-America” programs have all FAILED!
•   TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program)
•   PPIP (Public-Private Investment Program)
•   TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility)
•   TLGP (Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program)
•   CAP (Capital Assistance Program)
•   TIP (Targeted Investment Program)
•   HASP (Homeowners Affordability and Stability Plan)\
•   CPFF (Commercial Paper Funding Facility)
•   AMLF (Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Fund Liquidity Facility)
•   MMIFF (Money Market Investor Funding Facility)

WHERE ARE WE NOW?

It’s not a pretty picture.
•   Our national debt is $12,000,000,000,000 (as in trillion)
•   Social Security’s unfunded liability if $11,000,000,000,000 (as in trillion).
•   Medicare’s unfunded liability is $48,000,000,000,000 (as in trillion).

All of which adds up to $71,000,000,000,000 (as in trillion!). In short, the Obama regime has in six short months made the United States the most indebted country in the history of world civilization!

This is “change,” economist Dick McDonald writes, that “only an imbecile could love.” McDonald (http://www.riseupamerica.us/) has his own laundry list:
•   Obama promised to save 3 or 4 million jobs, but we have lost 3.5 million jobs since January.
•   Obama has promised to hold unemployment to 8 percent – it’s at 9.5 percent and skyrocketing.
•   He has brought the Government’s tax receipts from corporations down by 55 percent.
•   He has brought the Government’s tax receipts from individuals down 27 percent.
•   He has brought the number of unemployed to 20 percent and rising.
•   He has sent businesses reeling from being told they will bear more of the tax burden and have reduced staff.
•   He has favored wealth redistribution over job creation and economic growth.
•   He has funded a Gestapo-like mob of ACORN brown shirts who intimidate everyone.
•   He has given an equity interest in General Motors to an unsecured UAW debtor as a political payoff.
•   He has hired over 30 Czars to run the country without them being vetted by Congress.
•   He has militated against U.S. energy independence by refusing to increase domestic oil drilling in ANWR and offshore and build nuclear plants, but stood by his “addiction” to ethanol, which has caused corn shortages that precipitated starvation in the Third World.
•   He has used Democrat-controlled media and academia to silence his critics.
As everyone now knows, unemployment is still surging, with many states reporting up to 15 percent to 20 percent of people out of work; consumer confidence is plunging even further; and loan losses are exploding.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Obama’s Cap & Tax Bill – which will cost every family $3000/year and force jobs to go to China and India – promises that every American will be TAXED every time they flush their toilets, turn on the lights in their homes, open their refrigerators, and drive their cars – that is the short list! In other words, every single activity of daily living will be monitored electronically for “usage” and then taxed to the hilt.

Obama fundraiser with George Soros
Why?  Because the way Socialism works is to tax people to such a Draconian extent that they can no longer afford to "make it" on their own and so must be “taken care of” by Big Government. Yes, the same government that has brought us the utterly FAILED Post Office, Medicare, Medicaid, and Motor Vehicle systems, to name but a few Big Brother debacles.

Then there is the centerpiece of Obama’s Socialist dream, to “transform” our healthcare system, the better to “serve” the more-than 300-million people who live in America – including multi-millions of illegal aliens, felons, and other multi-millions who can afford health insurance but “choose” not to buy it.

In his prime-time news conference on July 22 – in between trashing the “stupid” Cambridge police department for doing their jobs – Obama admitted that he hadn’t read the House version of the healthcare bill. Then he had the nerve to describe a three-card-Monte scheme to pay for it, all the while repeating the urgency of whacking the American people with another $1.5 trillion in debt.

As writer and author Larry Schweikart has chillingly documented, Obama’s monstrous “healthcare” Bill includes, among hundreds of other horrors:
•   Page 22: A mandate for the Government to audit the books of all employers that self insure.
•   Pg 30:  A Government committee that will decide what treatments/benefits a person may receive.
•   Pg 42: The Health Choices Commissioner will choose your HC Benefits for you. You will have no choice!
•   Pg 50: HC will be provided to ALL non-US citizens, illegal or otherwise.
•   Pg 58: Government will have real-time access to an individual’s finances and a National ID Healthcard will be issued!
•   Pg 59: Government will have direct access to your bank accounts.
•   Pg 65:  Sec 164 is a payoff subsidized plan for retirees and their families in Unions and community organizations like ACORN.
•   Pg 85: The Government will ration your Healthcare!
•   Pg 95: The Government will use groups, i.e. ACORN & Americorps, to sign up individuals for Government HC plan.
•   Pg 85: Specifics of Benefit Levels for AARP members – your Health care WILL be rationed.
•   pg 124: No company can sue Government on price fixing and there can be no "judicial review" against Government Monopoly.
•   Pg 145: An Employer MUST auto-enroll employees into public option plan. NO CHOICE.
•   Pg 126: Employers MUST pay for healthcare for part time employees AND their families.
•   Pg 149: ANY Employer with payroll $400k & above who does not provide public option pays 8 percent tax on all payroll.
•   pg 150: Businesses with payroll between $251k & $400k that don’t provide public option pay 2-6 percent tax on all payroll.
•   Pg 167 ANY individual who doesn’t have acceptable HC according to Government will be taxed 2.5 percent of income.
•   Pg 170: Any NONRESIDENT Alien is exempt from individual taxes. (Americans will pay).
•   Pg 195: Officers & employees of the Healthcare Administration (the GOVERNMENT) will have access to ALL Americans’ finances and personal records.
•   Pg 203: "The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax." Yes, it says that.
•   Pg 239: Government will reduce physician services for Medicaid. Seniors, low income, poor affected.
•   Pg 241: Doctors – doesn’t matter what specialty – will all be paid the same.
•   Pg 253: Government sets value of Doctor’s time, professional judgment, etc. – literally, the value of humans.
•   Pg 272: TREATMENT OF CERTAIN CANCER HOSPITALS – Cancer patients – welcome to rationing!
•   Pg 317-318: Government will mandate that hospitals cannot expand.
•   Pg 354: Government will RESTRICT enrollment of Special needs people!
• PG 425: Government mandates Advance Care Planning Consultations for seniors… end-of-life prodding.
•   Pg 425: Government will instruct & consult regarding living wills, durable powers of attorney. Mandatory!
•   Pg 425: Government provides approved list of end-of-life resources, guiding you in how to die.
•   Pg 429: “Advanced care consultation" may include an ORDER for end of life plans. AN ORDER from the Government to end a life!
•   Pg 430: The Government will decide what level of treatment you will have at end of life.
•   Pg 469:  Community-Based Home Medical Services/Non-profit orgs. (ACORN Medical Services here?)
•   Pg 494-498: Government will cover Mental Health Services including defining, creating, and rationing those services.
 
Why rationing? Betsy McCaughey, former lieutenant governor of New York State,  explains that the “$1 trillion to $1.6 trillion health bill, with new taxes and a $500 billion cut to Medicare, will come just as baby boomers turn 65 and increase Medicare enrollment by 30 percent. Less money and more patients will necessitate rationing.” It’s an “assault against seniors,” she says.

After reading the 1,018-page Obama-Pelosi-Reid Bill, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Dave Janda wrote, “it should be clear that the same warning notice must be placed on The ObamaCare Plan as on a pack of cigarettes: Consuming this product will be hazardous to your health.”

“If you are over 65.” Dr. Janda continues, “or have been recently diagnosed as having an advanced form of cardiac disease or aggressive cancer…..dream on if you think you will get treated.  Pick out your coffin.  After each American turns 65 years of age they have to go to a mandated counseling program that is designed to end life sooner.”
 
THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY

As the Executive Director of Traditional Family Coalition, Andrea Lafferty said, “It took President Obama six months to pick a dog for the White House, but he wants Congress to pass a massive health care reform bill in two weeks! This is insane.”

But why the escalating opposition to Obama’s grand vision? Well, for one thing, Americans are a very smart people, notwithstanding an occasional lapse into a Jimmy Carter or Barack Obama. They “get” the scam of socialized medicine, they see people from Canada and France (in fact from all over the world) flocking to our shores for treatments that they can’t get in their “progressive” systems. And then there is the sticky reality of the non-partisan, putatively objective Congressional Budget Office, whose director Douglas Elmendorf said last week that the White House’s health-care proposals would result in a “net increase in the federal budget deficit of $239 billion” over 10 years.

Forthwith, Obama “invited” Mr. Elmendorf to the White House, clearly not for tea and crumpets! Can you just imagine the tongue-lashing this watchdog received, or the threats? It remains to be seen how objective Mr. Elmendorf remains in the coming days and weeks.

Historian Victor Davis Hanson puts it this way: "There is a growing collective recognition that things simply do not work the way Obama thinks they do. They may in the hothouse at Harvard Law School or in the charade of Chicago politics, or among young, hip bloggers right out of Yale, but not necessarily in the larger American landscape or the real world abroad."

The American people sense this. They assume that what goes up must come down… Americans are waking up to the fact that their president says, promises, and does things that simply do not make sense…

And as an article in Reuters stated about Obama’s stimulus package: “The economy is shaping up to be Barack Obama’s Katrina. The difference [between Pres. Bush’s Katrina and Obama’s], of course, is that Katrina afflicted a city and a few states, while the recession afflicts the whole country.”

ACCORDING TO PLAN

Vice President Joe Biden recently admitted that all the “experts” Americans entrusted with their money “misread how bad the economy was.”  Leftists like Biden have only a one-solution strategy for the problems they create: throw more money at it! Sure enough, Congressman Steny Hoyer, the second-ranking Democrat in the House, suggested that a second "Stimulus" package may be coming!

But the dirty little secret liberals take great pains to conceal is that their massive spending and taxing is all part of the Left’s grand plan to bring big bad America to its knees, annihilate free-market capitalism, widely expand the role of government, and tax people into economic oblivion –all to fulfill their childlike, utopian goal (1) leveling the playing field to the lowest common denominator, and (2) exerting total control over the masses they consider so stupid.

In the last six months, they’ve seen the light of Socialism at the end of the democracy tunnel they’ve loathed for decades. But they’re not there yet! Americans have now caught on to the scammers and their thug tactics and are pushing back hard.

Note to Obama & Company: We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore!

Dear Senator Boxer, 

There has been much public discussion about your comments to General Michael Walsh of the Army Corps of Engineers when he testified before your Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works last week.  You interrupted General Walsh while he was answering–by all accounts courteously–your question to him about repairing levees damaged by Hurricane Katrina.
 
Senator, you interrupted the general to scold him for referring to you as “ma’am,” and asked him to address you as “Senator,” since, by your own explanation, you had worked hard to attain that title.

 Ma’am, may I point out that “ma’am” is a term of respect to any married woman, as “sir” is to any man.  Military culture requires people in uniform to address superiors by one of these terms, and no possible disrespect could be interpreted from this.
Ma’am, may I further point out that in your remonstrance of General Walsh, you did not reciprocate the respect you demanded from him, referring to him neither as “General” (which would be correct), “Brigadier” (which the Brits prefer when addressing a one-star), or “Sir” (which would at least indicate common courtesy).

In fact, Ms. Boxer, you demanded respect and deference from someone who not only deserves the same courtesy, but you managed also to show none in return.

Barbara, you must know that the Army Corps of Engineers is a branch which devotes a tremendous amount of its time and effort here in the United States, building dams and levees and engineering waterways and other important public works. 

General Walsh spent several years in your home state of California as the Corps of Engineers built, modernized and maintained the vital systems that keep the water flowing to all residents of the Golden State.

Babs, surely you must recognize that the work of General Walsh as an army engineer in the service of Americans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina is at least equal to whatever campaigning and politicking you did to become a Senator.  This is not to mention the vital humanitarian work General Walsh did in Iraq to build hospitals, schools, roads and other infrastructure in the war-torn country.  Further, it does not take into account General Walsh’s service to his country in the United States, Europe and the Persian Gulf, nor does it credit the general’s master’s degree in construction management from the University of Florida, nor his studies at the Army Command and General Staff College.

Honey, I’m sure your advisors will tell you that Americans hold the military in much higher regard than Congress, and that your rude and abusive behavior to a senior member of that military can only reflect poorly on your judgment, manners and mental acuity.  In fact, sweetie, your exchange with General Walsh will only serve to widen the esteem gap between soldiers and Senators, to the soldiers’ favor.

In sum, Barbie baby, you would be well advised to issue a sincere public apology to General Walsh and the Army Corps of Engineers, and consult a reputable etiquette book before again speaking in public.  Otherwise, the respect you so crave will be ever more difficult to earn.

While driving home from work one evening on a very rainy night, I stopped for a red light and saw a disheveled-looking man who seemed to appear out of nowhere. He held a squeegee in his hand and began to wipe my windshield. It made no sense to me as it was steadily raining. He obviously wanted me to give him some money.

Suddenly, the intermittent wipers kicked in, and the one on the driver’s side was broken by his squeegee. He yelled at me: "It’s really not my fault." Muttering profanities, he disappeared into the night. I was left to drive home with a broken wiper blade on a rainy night. I thought to myself while straining to see through the rain: "If it wasn’t his fault, whose fault was it?

People often hold others culpable for their own wrongdoing, even when there is no logic to their reasoning whatsoever. Those who cheat on their income taxes may rationalize that it’s the government’s fault for mishandling their money, or that the tax rates are too high.It appears that no matter what people do wrong, some will always find an excuse for it.

There are far too many who have become adept at avoiding even the idea that they have acted irresponsibly. Blaming others goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden. The Almighty Himself had questioned the two people He created who had fallen into sin. Adam said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself." And God said, "Who told you that you were naked?  Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?"  (Genesis 3:9-11).  Look at the pathetic excuse Adam gave to God: "The woman you put here with me — she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it" (Genesis 3:12).

Adam gave an accurate account of what happened. However, that was not the entire picture.  His response was an attempt to deflect responsibility for his mistake onto someone else.  He had the nerve not to only blame Eve, he also blamed God. "Hey," Adam said, "it’s not my fault I ate it — it’s that woman you gave me that made this happen."

This was the first time mankind began passing off blame onto others.  And humanity has been doing it ever since.  It would be refreshing if people took responsibility, instead of trying to put a positive spin on absolutely everything wrong that they have done.

Deceiving the public

Lies and blame flourish within the political arena. Take, for instance, President G. W. Bush and his administration. Bush was continually being viciously attacked by members of the Democrat Party for political gain. They became contemptuous vipers.

While America was at war against terror, a very strange act of transference was taking place. The opposition deflected their own dishonesty toward a Republican president and his cabinet. The "culture of corruption" was the slogan used to help erode Bush’s credibility during the first two years of his second term.

The drive-by-media succeeded in demoralizing our country on every front. Lies about Iraq, our troops, and the Bush economy were laid out daily. By the time Bush left office, the American public’s view of G. W. was not a flattering one.

This propaganda hit its height in Bush’s last months. As the housing debacle took place, everything began to unravel. Eventually, we saw a decent and humble man who kept us safe from terrorism depart from Washington, D.C., to build his presidential library, museum, and institute in the State of Texas.

‘Barry, we hardly knew ye’

This week, America and its formidable ally Israel once again had to contend with an arrogant, self-serving, vindictive man who felt the need to embarrass his own country by apologizing for America’s generosity and greatness. We have liberated millions of Muslims throughout the world and have saved many of their lives. Where is the acknowledgment for doing so? We did not hear that in Obama’s dialogue with the Muslim movers and shakers, just more of his pandering.

For many, it has become evident that Obama does not respect our country — and it’s very likely his disdain for America began in his early childhood. His formative years were unsettling. His Kenyan father abandoned his mother; she was forced to rely heavily on her relatives to bring up her son.

Obama’s Chicago friends were antisocial, anti-America radicals. Williams Ayers and his wife are still unrepentant terrorists. As Obama and the media tried to stifle the news concerning his Muslim upbringing, they also covered up the full picture of who our president’s friends and political allies were.

Like many taught in the Saul Alinsky mindset, our president always puts the blame on others for what he is doing to our country. It’s always the past administration’s fault. "That wasn’t me," President Barack Obama said while disclaiming responsibility for the huge budget deficit waiting for him on day one. Yet in four short months, he has spent more of taxpayers’ money than any president who has held office since the founding of this country. And with this outrageous spending, there is no accountability.

Man of many disguises

The president is not really a cool and laid-back nice guy. He just appears to be. He disguises his true character. No one steps on Barry’s toes or speaks badly about him without feeling his anger. He will take action against anyone who tries, including the same media that helped put him into the White House. He will take on heads of state even if it means rudely snubbing them. To those who displease him, he removes the opportunity of having a photo op with America’s "historical" president.People in power within the United Kingdom, France, and Germany understand that Obama is a person who is extraordinarily impressed with himself. It’s most unfortunate that Obama does not understand that foreign leaders are laughing and snickering behind his back — including the leaders of Al-Qaeda.

Barack believes that when he speaks, he can sway anyone. He told Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that he "has a gift." As this president cavalierly captains our nation toward the brink, he maintains a vision of himself as one who possesses special abilities. That is frightening to those of us who know better. Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam told Obama who he was. "Barack has captured the youth; he will bring about universal change." "The Messiah is absolutely speaking."

His most recent speeches shed light on mounds of deception. Throughout his campaign, no one was allowed to use his middle name without being attacked and maligned. When photographs of Obama surfaced with him wearing Kenyan garb, the mainstream media immediately denounced their authenticity. When it came to his professed Christian faith, there were no questions asked by reporters or journalists that would have given Americans any true insight. The electorate voted blindly.

Irreligion

Two years ago, author and columnist Erik Rush brought to America’s attention the connection between Obama and Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Mr. Rush appeared at the time as a guest on Fox News’ Hannity & Colmes show to expose this and enlighten America about what few understood.

Churches that teach Black Liberation Theology are not biblically-sound denominations. Liberation theology is nothing more than bigoted, anti-Semitic hatemongering. Its roots come from Marxism. God’s Word refers to such false teachings as Babylon. Babel became known in a pun as balal, which means confusion. (See Genesis 11:1-9.)

Americans who voted for Obama would have not done so if they fully understood who he was and how much his religious beliefs would affect his leadership. Many did not see Obama as a far-left socialist, nor did they understand the extent to which Obama has embraced the teachings of Afrocentric black nationalist "churches."

To this day, Obama and his family have not chosen a new Christian church, nor have shown any interest in doing so. They are not seen attending services on any given Lord’s Day.

Megachurch Pastor Rick Warren should have thought twice before he considered giving any support to a man who seems to have issues that are related to his spirituality. In retrospect, Warren should have taken a wise man’s advice before he befriended Obama. "Trust, but verify." — Ronald Reagan

The First Family closed their doors during the National Day of Prayer. It raised disappointment within the Christian community. The National Day of Prayer has long been essential to America’s heritage. Traditionally, U.S. presidents have taken part in honoring the faith of our forefathers. But then Obama says America is not a Christian nation. He will continue telling that lie, even in Muslim countries. According to him, we have one of the largest Muslim populations. In reality, America has the second largest Jewish population in the world next to the State of Israel.

Anti-Israel

New polls show that Americans do not like where Obama is taking this country. Many are beginning to understand the dangers of his political ideology. Just weeks ago, another poll voiced the public’s growing concerns. Americans want checks and balances to curtail much of Obama’s agenda.

We have had the truth denied us a by media that willingly participates in shielding this president. From the beginning, there never was any transparency concerning Obama. People are befuddled and confused; even as they see our economy continue to tank and jobs disappear, they still cling to the slogan of "Hope and Change."

The president delivered an eloquent outreach speech to Muslim nations. What has he accomplished but to bring more scorn upon the State of Israel and the United States of America?

Excerpts from The American Thinker: "Obama’s speech to the Muslim world," by Leo Rennert — 
"President Obama promised that he wanted his Cairo speech to be the start of an "honest" dialogue with the Muslim world. When it comes to how he handled the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he fell short.

"He began his remarks on this issue by recalling a long history of anti-Semitism and persecution of Jews, culminating in the Holocaust. He denounced Holocaust deniers and those who would threaten Israel ‘with destruction’ — but without mentioning Iran or Ahmadinejad.

"Seeking to sound even-handed, he then immediately drew an equivalence between historical Jewish suffering and the lot of Palestinians. "On the other hand," he remarked, ‘it is also undeniable that Palestinians have suffered in their pursuit of a homeland — for more than 60 years they’ve endured the pain of dislocation." He pointed to Palestinians still waiting in refugee camps and Palestinians who have to ‘endure the daily humiliations — large and small — that come with occupation.’ Their situation, he said, is ‘intolerable’ and America will support their legitimate aspirations for ‘dignity, opportunity and ‘state of their own.’ And that’s where Obama failed to speak ‘honestly’ about Palestinian pain and its causes."For starters, he drew a totally false analogy between the Holocaust and the Palestinian pain of ‘dislocations’ and ‘daily humiliations’ under Israeli occupation. The parallel between the deliberate slaughter of 6 million Jews and the lot of Palestinians in refugee camps and in the West Bank and Gaza, where the UN supplies them with schools, food and shelter, is unsupportable."

Fight back

Obama’s words might have tickled the ears of some Muslim dignitaries. However, many Americans who think objectively and understand world history found them insulting and inaccurate. As he flits all over Europe and the Middle East, Obama purposefully plays every angle toward collapsing our economy. It is his America, not ours. While he undermines the country we love, we are feeling helpless. There is little doubt in the minds of many of us that Obama is pushing our nation down the dead-end road to socialism. After all, he is his father’s child.

We cannot allow our cherished freedoms to slip away. Begin today to fight back and preserve our liberties. Do everything within the law to regain what we have already lost. Wisdom and truth shall set us free from tyranny. Pray and ask the Lord to give you both.

"Today is the day of our salvation" (Luke 19:9-10).
