You can tell when President Obama is polling poorly because the headlines swoon him.

Weary warriors favor Obama – According to article the military support Obama over Romney…. Or, at least that’s what Reuters wants to convince you.

There is a substantive and real disconnect between the media and the electorate.  The distance between the opposing ideological poles is the same measure of disconnect between President Obama and the center-right majority.
The institutional legacy media, in all its forms, and President Obama are in complete alignment both ideologically and emotionally.   So too are they dependent upon each other for reinforcement and support.

At no time is this more evidenced than when Obama is in polling trouble.   When President Obama stakes a position, well, actually it’s more apropos to say ‘reveals a position’, that is in direct contradiction to the heart of electorate values, the media circles the wagon.
The media goal is deflection, distraction and more importantly to sell a false message.   The message they sell has one goal;  make it look like you are in the minority if you disagree with them.   Period.
Supported by their elitist alignment with liberally indoctrinated cohorts the media will do and say anything to maintain the guise.   This is not some massive conspiracy theory, although to protect themselves -and ridicule you- they will tell you it is;  No, this is the heart of progressive social engineering under various adjectives.

If there is any singular faux-reporter best described as the absolute personification of walking progressive bile it would be Andrew Sullivan.   The guy is significantly below pondwater scum on the scale of decency, and has remained in this position since his “Trig Truther” anti-Palin fascination.   This ringing love affair of Obama, by Sullivan, is well deserved and well matched.

YahooNews – It won’t be nearly as controversial as Time magazine’s breastfeeding cover, but Newsweek’s May 21 issue declares Barack Obama the country’s “first gay president.”

The accompanying cover story was written by Andrew Sullivan, the popular–and openly gay–political blogger. The magazine even gives the commander-in-chief a rainbow halo.

Obama, Sullivan writes, “had to discover his black identity and then reconcile it with his white family, just as gays discover their homosexual identity and then have to reconcile it with their heterosexual family.” (more…)

This has been a very special year in our family, this past year since Mother’s Day 2011. First, we had a beloved addition to our family in May 2011, Sarah Isabella. She arrived several months early, and many of you Treepers prayed for her and her mother after her birth. Then, in March of this year, the arrival of Sadie made me a grandmother for the first time. These two births, as well as some challenges other friends and family members have faced being mothers has made me think a great deal about motherhood, and the unique challenges it brings. A recent conversation with another mother whose children are now adults added more perspective. Last year, I did a post about the history of Mother’s Day. Most people think about their mother or grandmother, or perhaps a favorite aunt,  when the topic is Mother’s Day. We adults tend to think of our mature mothers, or perhaps even an elderly mom. Because two young mothers have been in my thoughts and prayers this year, as well as my heart, I thought about writing something to honor those young women, the mothers who struggle so hard with the demands only a young family faces. A recent conversation inspired me to take it a little further. So, I would like to write about the stages of motherhood, and perhaps, for the sake of coherence and the story, I will make assumptions about families that may not match everyone’s experience. That does not mean I value your experience less.
With the first baby comes overwhelming love, awe, fear, joy, and the gushing happiness specific to motherhood. You have had 9 long months to prepare for this precious little miracle God is entrusting to you, and yet you are not ready, you can never really be prepared. How can you be prepared for that first embrace, the soft, sweet skin, the way your heart just stops at the first cry? How can you anticipate  the perfection of the unfocused stare of your baby? The completion of your family, the way your love for your husband, and his for you, is multiplied and increased, the way that three people have become a little universe of love? How can you possibly imagine the utter weariness of night upon night without sleep? The fear at the first cough or hiccup? The inner warrior woman you never knew existed who is ready to leap into action at any threat to that child? The hopes, the dreams, the plans you and your husband share as you hold that little part of you? (more…)

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 †

Some of you might remember the Georgi Markov case in 1978.    Guess what, it quietly happened again, but his name is redacted……  Markov worked as a broadcaster and journalist for the BBC World Service, the US-funded Radio Free Europe, and Germany’s Deutsche Welle.
Markov used such forums to conduct a campaign of criticism against the incumbent Bulgarian regime. As a result of this, it has been speculated that the Bulgarian government may have decided to silence him, and may have asked the KGB for help. He died as a result of an incident on a London street when a micro-engineered pellet containing ricin was fired into his leg via an umbrella wielded by someone associated with the Bulgarian secret police.
GERMANY – Police have admitted they have been left at a loss by the attack, which took place nearly a year ago, when the 40-year-old man was attacked by the mysterious stranger in Hannover.

The case mirrors the murder of Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov who was killed with a poisoned umbrella in London in 1978 at the height of the Cold War. (more…)

Staggering reality is about to smack Californians right in the face.   The problem with Socialistic Style Governance is sooner or later you run out of other peoples money…..  AND, NO BAILOUTS.   NO-WAY, NO-HOW
Everyone knew this was coming.  A $16,000,000,000.00 ONE STATE deficit !
Facing the reality that he was pushed to office by labor unions like AFSCME, he punts to the only solution progs know and demands higher tax rates to deal with the crisis.    This is a prime opportunity for the Occupy Movement to see, in real life, what the results would be/are from their demands.   Total fiscal insanity.   Economic Cognitive Dissonance.  
CALIFORNIA – Gov. Jerry Brown announced on Saturday that the state’s deficit has ballooned to $16 billion, a huge increase over his $9.2-billion estimate in January.
The bigger deficit is a significant setback for California, which has struggled to turn the page on a devastating budget crisis. Brown, who announced the deficit on YouTube, is expected to outline his full budget proposal on Monday in Sacramento.

“This means we will have to go much further, and make cuts far greater, than I asked for at the beginning of the year,” Brown said in the video. (more…)
