BHO's plans for 2nd term



Obama's Shocking Plans for the Next 4 Years Exposed…
Fool Me Twice

Socialism T-Shirt
In Fool Me Twice, investigative journalists and New York Times bestselling authors Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott reveal the detailed blueprints for President Obama's second term in office.

Just as Obama concealed the true plans for his initial term behind rhetoric of ending partisan differences and cutting the Federal deficit, Obama's re-election theme of creating jobs conceals more than it reveals about his real agenda for a second term - the "progressive" program to complete the fundamental transformation of America during the next four years.

This book is filled with stunning revelations, including second-term plans for a "New Deal"-style overhaul of the economy replete with the creation of a National Infrastructure Development Bank to oversee government control of the financial system; a massive, government-run jobs program to coincide with "paycheck fairness"; full amnesty for illegal aliens; de-funding of the U.S. military while channeling Pentagon money to "clean" energy initiatives; a new, multi-billion dollar "green" stimulus; and implementing Obamacare in measures nearly impossible to reverse.

And that is just the start.

While many have general concerns about Obama's second-term ambitions, Fool Me Twice lays bare the devastating details of a second Obama presidency. If he wins re-election in 2012, the America of equal opportunity for all, Constitutionally-limited government, economic freedom and personal liberty will be but a distant memory.

Reason #28 to Defeat Barack Obama:
Obama’s Pro-Abortion Foreign Policy
 

vicfund-donate-sq-052312
With the American flag under attack, today is an excellent day to examine how the Obama Administration has shamefully represented that flag to the majority of nations around the world which are pro-life. 

America’s respect as a nation that stands for human rights depends on its actions, and in the eyes of many overseas, Obama’s actions on the issue of abortion have cost this country dearly.

For example, one of Obama’s very first acts on becoming President was to give millions of dollars to organizations that actively undermine the pro-life cultures and laws of nations like those in Catholic Latin America and pro-life Africa.

These societies hold as one of their most deeply held beliefs that an unborn child is a precious and inviolable member of the human family.  They believe unborn children are a treasure and have an inherent right to life.

They are appalled that an American government would not only act as if their children do not have a basic right to life, but further, that our government would give money to groups like International Planned Parenthood who kill the unborn and who actively work to overturn pro-life laws overseas so that millions more might be killed. 

But the Obama Administration’s attacks on unborn babies and their mothers overseas didn’t stop there.

Asked whether U.S. advocacy for “reproductive health” overseas includes abortion, Obama’s Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated her “strongly held view” that it was the Administration’s right to advocate “anywhere in the world” and that “an important part of women’s health and reproductive health includes access to abortion . . .”

Early in his presidency, Obama decided to give our taxpayer dollars to the United Nations Population Fund, which is closely linked to China’s brutal population control program that includes forced abortions.  Last year, Vice President Joe Biden told an audience at a university in China that he wouldn’t “second-guess” that program:

“Your policy,” Biden said, “has been one which I fully understand – I’m not second-guessing – of one child per family.”

It’s time the American people second-guess the foreign policy of an Administration that puts more effort into expanding abortion overseas than it does into protecting life.

On November 6th, Americans will decide which foreign and domestic policies will guide this country for the next four years:  policies that respect life here and abroad; or those that push abortion on our fellow citizens and our neighbors abroad.

The National Right to Life Victory Fund is up and running with ads to help defeat Barack Obama and return some sanity to our policies, so that innocent unborn children will have a chance at the life they so deserve.

Your support can make a huge difference in this close election!  Even a small gift helps us reach more people in critical swing states that will decide the fate of millions here and overseas. 

Please give generously to the National Right to Life Victory Fund now and before November 6th so that we can give the unborn what they truly needHope for a full and happy life; and the needed Change in U.S. policies that kill so many innocent unborn babies.

Sincerely,
Carol Tobias,
President
National Right to Life

Government Seizing More Land



Government moving to seize more land.

By Larry Killion TPP Citizen Journalist

Norm Dicks (Wa. D) and Patty Murray (Wa. D) toured a Shelton Shell Fish Facility with several County officials last month promoting their latest draft of Wild Olympics Wilderness & Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 2012.  It would designate more than 126,500 acres of new wilderness in Olympic National Forest including nineteen Olympic Peninsula rivers and their major tributaries as “wild and scenic.”  The proposed legislation is now in committee.  HR 5995 is sponsored by Dicks and Congressman Jim McDermott and SB 3329 is sponsored by Murray.

The Aberdeen and Cosmopolis city councils and Grays Harbor County commissioners have passed resolutions opposing the Wild Olympics campaign.  Dicks and Murray say they have made compromises to overcome objections that it would be too restrictive on logging and recreation.  Carol Johnson, executive director of the North Olympic Timber Action Committee, said her group is opposed to the Wild Olympics act because of its potential impact on jobs. “One of the issues with us about the Wild Olympics proposal is that we met with the Norm Dicks and Sen. Murray staffs and they pretty much ignored all of our suggestions,” Johnson said.  

“We’ve tried to make this benefit the area and not do any harm. I think we’ve made this much more acceptable to people on the Olympic Peninsula,” Dicks said. Whether they turned around public opinion after nearly three years of talks is questionable. The Peninsula is filled with signs charging a “land grab.”
 
If the bill does not pass this year, Dicks won’t be here to make it happen again. He is retiring his seat after 36 years in office.  It is unlikely the bill will make it through either the House or Senate this year but Patty Murray said she would continue pushing forward with the legislation after Dicks retires.  Derek Kilmer, is the man Norm endorsed to fill his slot in the Washington State 6th Congressional District.  Kilmer’s campaign had $714,674.54 cash on hand at the end of the 2012 2nd quarter to carry on the agenda of the Democrats.

The Republican candidate for the 6th District seat, Bill Driscoll, said, “It makes no sense to push forward a proposal to lock up broad tracts of land without the support of the people who live and work in the affected areas.  This is an important decision that will define our region for generations to come.  It would be a shameful failure to have a politically divisive plan imposed on us by special interests in Seattle or politicians in Washington D.C.”  

Tea Party Patriot Washington State Coordinator Peggy Hutt says, “The only issue here is whether the GOP takes control of the Senate. If they do, none of the Wild Olympics Bills will make it out of committee in either the House or Senate. If the Democrats hold the Senate, it still will get nowhere in the House.” 

Ben Kuhner, President of the Board of the Kitsap Patriots Tea Party said, “"Kitsap Patriots Tea Party supports the opposition to the Wilderness Act by those who have studied the proposed legislation and will be most closely impacted by it.  While we in Kitsap County are not as directly affected as counties to the west of us, we have an abiding interest in protecting the continued access and enjoyment of our lands for all Washingtonians, not just the elite few who will be deemed "acceptable" under ever increasingly restrictive designations."

Help STOP Election FRAUD

GrassTopsUSA


George Soros Has Already Spent Tens-Of-Millions Of Dollars; But He's Not Trying To "Buy" The Election For Barack Obama... He's Trying To Steal It For Barack Obama.
He owns the company that programs the brain for the 
ballot tabulating machines for our elections. 

Obama Vote Fraud      Few have dared to give voice to this obvious and morally-criminal, multi-million dollar attempt to steal the election... but that changes today, and with an election approaching, even the more spineless of our so-called conservative leaders must come to understand, once and for all, that 1) the voter fraud must stop today... 2) only THEY can put a stop it and... 3) if they do not put a stop to it, then all is lost.

      Time and again they have passed the buck, kicked the can down the road, and sheepishly told the American people... "It's up to you to 'Impeach' Barack Obama, at the ballot box." ... "It's up to you to stop our out-of-control spending, at the 
ballot box." ... "It's up to you to repeal ObamaCare, at the ballot box."

      Well guess what Mr. Boehner, Mr. McConnell and the rest of you... the
American people aren't going to be able to do YOUR jobs for you if the votes of the
American people mean ZILCH... it stands to reason that if you're going to show some
backbone just once in your lives... that NOW IS THE TIME

Old Timey Words


I know some of you will not understand this
message, 
but I bet you know someone who might.

I came across this phrase yesterday. 'FENDER SKIRTS.' 

A term I haven't heard in a long time, and
thinking about 
'fender skirts' started me thinking about other words that 
quietly disappear from our language with hardly a notice 
like'curb feelers.'

And 'steering knobs.' (AKA) 'necking knobs.'

Since I'd been thinking of cars, my mind naturally
 
went that direction first.

Any kids will probably have to find some older
person 
over 50 to explain some of these terms to you.

Remember 'Continental kits?' They were rear
bumper 
extenders and spare tire covers that were supposed to 
make any car as cool as a Lincoln Continental.
When did we quit calling them 'emergency brakes?At some point 'parking brake' became the proper
term. But 
I miss the hint of drama that went with 'emergency brake.'

I'm sad, too, that almost all the old folks are gone
who 
would call the accelerator the 'foot feed.' Many today 
do not even know what a clutch is or that the dimmer 
switch used to be on the floor. For that matter, the starter 
was down there too.

Didn't you ever wait at the street for your daddy to
 
come home, so you could ride the'running board'  
up to the house?

Here's a phrase I heard all the time in my youth
but 
never anymore - 'store-bought.' Of course, just about 
everything is store-bought these days.
But once it was bragging material to have a
store-bought 
dress or a store-bought bag of candy.

'Coast to coast' is a phrase that once held all sorts
of excitement 
and now means almost nothing. Now we take the term 
'worldwide' for granted. This floors me.


On a smaller scale, 'wall-to-wall' was once a
magical term in our homes. In the '50s,everyone covered his or her hardwood floors with, wow, wall-to-wall carpeting! Today, everyone replaces their wall-to-wall carpeting with hardwood floors. Go figure.


When was the last time you heard the quaint
phrase 'in a family way?' It's hard to imagine that the word 'pregnant' was once considered a little too graphic, a little too clinical for use in polite company, so we had all that talk about stork visits and 'being in a family way' or simply 'expecting.'

Apparently 'brassiere' is a word no longer in
usage. I said it the other day and my daughter cracked up. I guess it's just 'bra' now.
'Unmentionables' probably wouldn't be understood
at all.

I always loved going to the 'picture show,' 
but I considered 
'movie' an affectation.

Most of these words go back to the '50s, but here's
a pure 
'60s word I came across the other day 'rat fink.' 
Ooh, what a nasty put-down!

Here's a word I miss - 'percolator.' That was just
a fun word 
to say. And what was it replaced with 'Coffee maker.' How dull... Mr. Coffee, I blame you for this.


I miss those made-up marketing words that were
meant to 
sound so modern and now sound so retro. Words like  
'Dyna Flow' and 'Electrolux' and 'Frigidaire'.   
Introducing the 1963 Admiral TV, now with 'Spectra Vision!'


Food for thought. Was there a telethon that wiped
out 
lumbago? Nobody complains of that anymore.
Maybe that's what Castor oil cured, because I never hear 
mothers threatening kids with Castor Oil anymore.

Some words aren't gone, but are definitely on the
endangered list. The one that grieves me most is 'supper.' 
Now everybody says 'dinner.' Save a great word.
Invite someone to supper. Discuss fender skirts.

Someone forwarded this to me. I thought some of us
o
a 'certain age' would remember most of these.

Just for fun, pass it along to others of 'a certain age.'


IF YOU AREN'T OF A CERTAIN AGE, YOU MUST
KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS

A Pro-LIFE PAC

 Another great day of worship at TLBC.  Listen to the lessons on the front page of our church website.

                           *****
 National Pro-Life Alliance

Dear Larry,

I'm in a bind.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC), with the wholehearted support of Barack Obama’s Department of Justice, expressly forbids me from telling you which candidates are pro-life activists and leaders whose election you should directly support.

And they say, because NPLA's Political Action Committee (PAC) is "affiliated," it's illegal for me to ask you for PAC support or solicit funds for solidly pro-life candidates.

It sounds crazy, I know.

But Obama and the pro-abortion bureaucrats who run the federal government don't want pro-life activists like you and me to be politically organized going into the 2012 election.

That's why the IRS/FEC will only let me directly tell "a restricted class" of "legal members" of the National Pro-Life Alliance explicitly who they should -- and shouldn't -- vote for in the next election.

The good news is, I've found a loophole, and it's pretty easy.

All you need to do is chip in at least $5 (or more), and take a positive pro-life action, and you can then be counted as part of our "legal membership."



So I've set up a page for you to do just that when you click here.

It's that easy.  Once you're considered what the bureaucrats call a "legal member of the Organization's restricted class" I can explicitly tell you which candidates to support, and which pro-abortion candidates to oppose.

Are you upset with billions of our taxpayer dollars our government sends to abortion mills?

Are you angry at Obama and the politicians who shamelessly call for unrestricted abortion-on-demand for the full nine months of pregnancy?

Do you get tired of hearing the lies politicians tell?

We formed a Political Action Committee (PAC) for the National Pro-Life Alliance to do exactly what needs to be done to hold politicians accountable without worrying about getting hauled into a Federal Election Commission hearing or a federal courtroom.

And it's very important you act today because election season is the best time to hold politicians accountable.

Nothing is more important to a politician than getting elected or re-elected.

Through the National Pro-Life Alliance PAC, we can now expressly advocate for the election -- or defeat -- of politicians across the country.

I know I don't have to tell you that the coming election is crucial for the unborn.

On one hand, the Obama Administration is trying to entrench ObamaCare and its abortion pill mandate, as well as billions in tax dollars for abortion mills.

On the other hand, with the results of the past election, we are closer than ever to having the votes to pass the Life at Conception Act to overturn Roe v. Wade and ultimately end abortion-on-demand.

That's why I started the National Pro-Life Alliance PAC in the first place, so pro-lifers like you can have a direct impact on the elections that are so vital to the pro-life cause.

What's wrong with Wal-Mart?





We had a good First Friday Fellowship meeting tonight at TLBC.  Brother Jim Turner preached a message out of Isa.44 entitled “The Thrice Holy One Worthy of Worship” - Hear the audio.


What is wrong with Wal-Mart?  I received this the other day.

         1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart
         every hour of every day.

         2. This works out to $20,928 profit every
         minute!

         3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to
         St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target
         sells all year.

         4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger
         + Target +Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.

         5.. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is  the
         world's largest private employer, and  most
         speak  English.

         6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the
         history of the world.

         7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger
         and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they
         did this in only fifteen years.

         8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket
         chains sought bankruptcy.

         9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other
         store in the world.

         10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the
         
USA   of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is
         1,000 more than it had five years ago.

         11. This year, 7.2 billion different purchasing
         experiences will occur at Wal-Mart stores.
         (Earth's population is approximately 6.5
         Billion.)

         12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen
         miles of a Wal-Mart.

         You may think that I am complaining, but I am
         really laying the ground work for suggesting
         that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run
         Wal-Mart to fix the economy.

         This should be read and understood by all
         Americans, Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!

         To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature, it is now official that the majority of  you are corrupt  and need to go away:

a... The 
U.S. Postal Service was established
in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it
right and it is broke.

b.. Social Security was established in  1935.
You have had 74 years to get it right and it
is broke.

         c.. Fannie Mae was established in 1938.  You
         have had 71 years to get it right and it is
         broke.

         d.. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have
         had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion  of
         our money is confiscated each year  and
         transferred to "the poor" and they only  want
         more.

         e.. Medicare and Medicaid were established  in
         1965. You have had 44 years to get it right
         and they are broke.

         f.. Freddie Mac was established in 1970.  You
         have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.

         g.. The Department of Energy was created  in
         1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign  oil.
         It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a
         budget of $24 billion a year and we import
         more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to
         get it right and it is an abysmal failure.

         You have FAILED in every "government service"
         you have shoved down our throats while
         overspending our tax dollars.  What a SHAME! 


        
NOW YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE
         TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-
RUN HEALTH CARE
         SYSTEM   ?? 

No!  No! No! A thousand times – NO!  If you cannot clearly see and understand the plain facts listed above that WE THE PEOPLE see and understand, then at least LISTEN to us for a change.  Change?  Oh yes.  WE most definitely need a change.  If you do not repent and stop spending what you do not have and putting our nation in debt to historically unfriendly foreign powers, then, the change is going to be your removal and replacement.  Do NOT ignore this warning.  A smug elitist attitude will only anger your constituents even more.  It’s time.

Dear Larry,
A very important bill called the "Presidential Appointment Efficiency Act" was passed that allows the sitting president to appoint high-level officials without the "advice and consent" of the senate as required by our constitution.
This new law poses a tremendous threat to our form of government!
Surprisingly, every member of the Congressional (that is Senate & House) Tea Party Caucus voted for this outrageous act except Michele Bachmann. 
I decided to do something about this and, so, I created Pray for US - Pray for the United States - and this site is located at HTTPS://Prayfor.US. 
I paid dearly to get this website name but I believe the investment will be worth it if we can just use it to educate our elected leaders.
You can take part in this education process by sending 60 FaxGrams to every member of the Tea Party Caucus without cost!

Someone who understands our system of checks and balances and the separation of powers in the Constitution would never vote in favor of this Act because this act strips away the checks-and-balances put in place by our Founding Fathers to protect us from despotic presidents.
So, we can only conclude that the Tea Party Caucus was either misguided or uneducated AND decided it is up to American citizens to guide them through prayerful education.
This Presidential Efficiency Appointment Act allows any current or future President to appoint people to high-ranking cabinet positions without the advice and consent of the Senate.
Roman P Thumbnail  Rather than holding a confirmation hearing to determine whether someone is qualified to hold a position, A president can now appoint anyone he, or she, chooses to more than 200 Cabinet-level offices - without any oversight!
For example, Jon Corzine, the former head of MF Global who "lost" $1.2 billion in customers' segregated trust funds, could be named the Treasurer of the United States by Mr. Obama.
Chapo Guzman, the butcher who runs the Sinaloa drug cartel could be selected to run Counter-Narcotics Enforcement at the Department of Justice - How is this any different than Fast & Furious?
Roman Polanski, the convicted Hollywood director, could be put in charge of the Office of Juvenile Justice.
This list of ridiculous choices is endless, and it's all possible because of the Tea Party Caucus' vote.
Please send your prayers to the members of the Tea Party Caucus today. Your prayer will be sent directly to more than 60 Tea Party Members.
We are commanded to pray for those in authority.
1 Timothy 2:1-3 states:
Send Your Prayers Image
   I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people.  Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf; and give thanks for them.  Pray this way for leaders and all others who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity.  This is good and pleasing to God our Savior.
Pray for US is a call to action to all Americans of faith to pray for our leaders. These Tea Party members clearly do not understand the Constitution, and we must pray for them to repent and return to the path of righteousness.
Our service at Pray for US allows you to send a personally-addressed, fully editable, prayer to every member of the Tea Party Caucus who has betrayed the Constitution and the American people.
You can see the full list of Tea Party Betrayers here.
It is to all of our mutual benefit to send the Tea Party members our prayers, and to pray often for them. God has promised that if we pray and repent, He will hear us, and He will heal our land.

Reason #25 to Invest in Victory

A Media that’s part of Team Obama

A pro-life candidate usually has two foes:  His opponent and the media.
To win, he — and his supporters — have to work twice as hard.
This year the two-on-one is the media and Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney.
This series of Reasons to Defeat Barack Obama has established that Obama holds extreme, radical positions on abortion, views that are completely out of step with the beliefs of most Americans.
But the media, whose job is to report the facts impartially, refuse to report in detail on Obama’s views and record on abortion, even though they’ve made an issue of Mitt Romney being pro-life.  And when one of Obama’s more extreme positions is criticized, the news media often “fly cover” for Obama by minimizing or distorting his actions, or by giving credence to Obama excuses and explanations that don’t match his actual record.

Click Here to Donate and Invest in Victory Now!

If the media won’t do their job, we must.  Every one of us who wants a future for the unborn babies who are being killed because of Barack Obama’s policies, needs to do all he or she can to defeat Obama and elect a pro-life Administration on November 6th.
One thing you can do now is to help the National Right to Life Victory Fund reach millions of voting Americans with these facts the media refuse to report.  Your gift of $500 or $100 or $50 can help us reach hundreds more Americans with factual information about Obama’s radical pro-abortion record, and the compassionate pro-life views of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.  We have just a little over two months to convince a majority of Americans – please help with your generous gift today!  Thank you!

A Prayer Event

Another good day in the house of the Lord.  Visit our church website TLBC.  If you are on Face Book, I recommend that you join the "Take a minute and pray for America" event.  

The United States of America, and our citizens, need prayer more than ever!!! If you would like to participate, each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8 PM Central, 7 PM Mountain, 6 PM Pacific), stop whatever you're doing, and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, the upcoming election, that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land, and that Christianity will grow in the U.S.  I set an alarm on my cell phone to remind me every evening at 6PM Pacific to say a one or two minute prayer for my country.  Won't you join me?

DUDE !!



It’s been said by the Democrats that Mitt Romney is a murderer, felon, and tax cheat. Democrats have also maintained that Bain Capital is all about making money and destroying the little guy. As it is with Liberals, there are no facts to back up the allegations. People are supposed to believe them because the Democrats say they’re true. Here’s a story about Mitt Romney that’s been fact checked.
 
“In July 1996, the 14-year-old daughter of Robert Gay, a partner at Bain Capital, had disappeared. She had attended a rave party in New York City and gotten high on ecstasy. Three days later, her distraught father had no idea where she was. Romney took immediate action. He closed down the entire firm and asked all 30 partners and employees to fly to New York to help find Gay’s daughter. Romney set up a command center at the LaGuardia Marriott and hired a private detective firm to assist with the search.

“He established a toll-free number for tips, coordinating the effort with the NYPD, and went through his Rolodex and called everyone Bain did business with in New York, and asked them to help find his friend’s missing daughter. Romney’s accountants at Price Waterhouse Cooper put up posters on street poles, while cashiers at a pharmacy owned by Bain put fliers in the bag of every shopper. Romney and the other Bain employees scoured every part of New York and talked with everyone they could – prostitutes, drug addicts – anyone.

“That day, their hunt made the evening news, which featured photos of the girl and the Bain employees searching for her. As a result, a teenage boy phoned in, asked if there was a reward, and then hung up abruptly. The NYPD traced the call to a home in New Jersey, where they found the girl in the basement, shivering and experiencing withdrawal symptoms from a massive ecstasy dose. Doctors later said the girl might not have survived another day. Romney’s former partner credits Mitt Romney with saving his daughter’s life, saying, ‘It was the most amazing thing, and I’ll never forget this to the day I die.’

“So, here’s my epiphany: Mitt Romney simply can’t help himself. He sees a problem, and his mind immediately sets to work solving it, sometimes consciously, and sometimes not-so-consciously. He doesn’t do it for self-aggrandizement, or for personal gain. He does it because that’s just how he’s wired.

Many people are unaware of the fact that when Romney was asked by his old employer, Bill Bain, to come back to Bain & Company as CEO to rescue the firm from bankruptcy, Romney left Bain Capital to work at Bain & Company for an annual salary of one dollar. When Romney went to the rescue of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics, he accepted no salary for three years, and wouldn’t use an expense account. He also accepted no salary as Governor of Massachusetts.

Character counts!! (and yes…that’s worth reading again!)”

Muslim students to leave the country 
GO, MICHIGAN STATE ! 
Very interesting -- the University is standing by their professor
and not bowing down to special interest groups!

Professor Wichman E-mail  A Michigan professor sent an e-mail telling Muslim students to leave the country.
The story begins at Michigan State University with a mechanical engineering professor named Indrek Wichman. 
Wichman sent an e-mail to the Muslim Student's Association. 
The e-mail was in response to the students' protest of the Danish cartoons that portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist. 
The group had complained the cartoons were 'hate speech.' 
============
 
Enter Professor Wichman. 
==========================================
 
In his e-mail, he said the following: 
===============================
 
Dear Muslim Association, 
As a professor of Mechanical Engineering here at MSU I intend to protest your protest. 
I am offended not by cartoons, but by more mundane things like beheadings of civilians, cowardly attacks on public buildings, suicide murders, murders of Catholic priests (the latest in Turkey), burnings of Christian churches, the continued persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt, the imposition of Sharia law on non-Muslims, the rapes of Scandinavian girls and women (called 'whores' in your culture), the murder of film directors in Holland, and the rioting and looting in Paris France. 
This is what offends me, a soft-spoken person and academic, and many, many of my colleagues. I counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal, and uncivilized slave-trading Muslims to be very aware of this as you proceed with your infantile 'protests.' 
If you do not like the values of the West - see the First Amendment - you are free to leave. I hope for God's sake that most of you choose that option. 
Please return to your ancestral homelands and build them up yourselves instead of troubling Americans.. 
Cordially,
I.  S. Wichman 
Professor of Mechanical Engineering 
=============================
 
As you can imagine, 
The Muslim group at the university didn't like this too well. 
They're demanding that Wichman be reprimanded, that the university impose mandatory diversity training for faculty,
And mandate a seminar on hate and discrimination for all freshmen. 
Now, the local chapter of CAIR has jumped into the fray.
CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, apparently doesn't believe that the good professor 
had the right to express his opinion. 
==========
For its part, the university is standing its ground in support of Professor Wichman, 
Saying the e-mail was private, and they don't intend to publicly condemn his remarks. 
============================================================
 
Send this to your friends, and ask them to do the same. 
Tell them to keep passing it around until the whole country gets it. 
We are in a war. 
This political correctness is getting old and killing us.
==================
 
If you agree with this, 
Please send it to all your friends!
