Saturday Open Thread – September 1st

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

LAKELAND, Fla. — In a last-minute change of plans, Mitt Romney will head to visit storm-affected areas in New Orleans today, skipping a previously scheduled joint rally with running mate Paul Ryan in the battleground state of Virginia this afternoon.

A Romney aide told ABC News that Romney will “join Gov. Jindal and will meet with first responders, thank them for their work and see areas impacted by the storm in LaFitte, La.”

Indoctrination – Whoopsie Colorado University Offers Course Credits To Students Who Campaign For Obama…

(Via Daily Caller)  A public university in Colorado may have violated state law by offering students course credit if they volunteered with President Obama’s re-election campaign.

Both the blog post and the course are now gone. The course was canceled due to lack of interest, according to the university. The blog post was taken down earlier this week after a conservative student blog, Campus Reform, reported on it. (more…)

Osterman Nerve(s)

Below is an e-mail from Sondra Osterman regarding the position of her and Mark Osterman about their book on George Zimmerman:

But apparently the Osterman Family Does (e-mail below) 

Hello.

I was just made aware of your post and I wanted to take a moment to add a little truth to your story. I’m not sure who your “source” is; however, the book has only been given for review by myself, my husband and Mark O’Mara in a confidential setting and someone other than these 3 people releasing anything would mean they’ve obtained it illegally and civil ramifications will be assessed. The book IS copyrighted and ANY release of any portion would be a copyright violation and civil action would be taken.  That being said I can assure you that we DID give the copyrighted manuscript (unedited and only partially completed) to Mark O’Mara so that he could review it and let us know if we need to make any changes to the content because the intent of the book is to HELP George not hurt him.

The Unintended Consequences of Selfish Pursuits – The Osterman Book and The Dangers Of Misplaced Advocacy

This informational post is independently authored by a guest of the Treehouse.  Part One in a continuing series of independently submitted guest posts:  

“The Introduction”

On the night of February 26th, 2012, the life of George Zimmerman was changed forever.

Since that date he has been saddled not only with the anguish of having to take a life to save his own, but he has needed to endure the obligatory state-sponsored witch hunt to boot.

These are the burdens that few ordinary humans will ever have to bear. In times like these it’s always better to surround yourself with people who you TRUST.

Inevitably, in this day of GREED and SELFISHness, there are many people who use situations like this as a platform to further their own agenda. George Zimmerman has seen this GREED manifest itself in many forms from those he considers his best confidants. (more…)

Inside The Osterman Book – The Danger Discussed – A CTH Exclusive Series

If you have visited this site for any significant amount of time you know our position:

There are so many self-serving parties and affiliations within the Trayvon Martin shooting it is almost impossible to describe them all, and from the outset of our research and analysis of this now national case we have remained consistent with our approach.

We try diligently to present the information as it appears, to the best of our ability, without placing ourselves as a filter for the information.   We present the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of it all; and there is much ugliness as a direct outcome of money and financial positioning.

When approached by Ryan Julison we refused to be a part of the filtration system instead offering our site as a direct host for his perspective unedited.   To insure the absence of our perspective of his position bleeding into the narrative we asserted that we would not narrate his story, we would present it exactly as he presents.   He declined.  That approach is not within his paradigm.

There is enough filtering, and skewering/twisting of information; that approach is not within our mission statement. (more…)

The Icon VS The Ego – Clint Eastwood VS. Barack Obama

The Icon

Oscar winning actor and director, and American icon Clint Eastwood appeared at the Republican National Convention where he held an impromptu conversation with an empty chair reflecting President Obama,  saying:

“when somebody does not do the job, well, sometimes we’ve got to let them go”..

Mr. Eastwood was using the empty chair to reference the empty promises and failed policies of President Obama.

In response President Obama tweeted the following: (more…)
