Michelle just dropped me a "personal" note (desperate massive emailing) after last night's DNC flop, so I thought I would respond with my thoughts to her missive. My thoughts are highlighted and italicized:
"Susan, [we are on intimate speaking terms because she uses my money daily and needs more] thank you for an amazing week. [Well, Michelle, can I tell you how offended I am that you address me without my formal title of "Mrs."? If I were meeting you or speaking to you in person, out of respect for the office of the President, I would address you as "Mrs. Obama" or "First Lady". Since you feel entitled to spend my tax dollars so freely on dog walkers, jet vacations and overseas summer camp trips for Malia and Sasha, I guess you think we're on a first name basis. WRONG. I am an American taxpayer, and therefore, YOUR BOSS. Act like it.]
Barack and I felt your energy up there. [That threat of lightning, perhaps?]
But we can't let that energy fade [to coin a phrase Michelle, "Yes, We Can!"] -- because in just 60 days, voters will decide who gets to serve in the White House for the next four years. [Which voters, the legal ones or the illegal ones, or just the ignorant uniformed?] So every single one of us has got to pull together to finish strong.
I know you feel the urgency: [yeah, I cannot wait to fire your husband from his job November 6th] Already this week, supporters like you have made more than 500,000 grassroots donations to build this campaign. So if you're fired up, let's keep it going -- let's see how many people we can get to show their support by the end of the day. [Your hubby's internal polling and fundraising numbers are pretty dismal, aren't they?]
Can you chip in $5 or more to stand with Barack today? [I would rather sell my children to the Red Chinese]
Barack's got something that the other side doesn't: more than 3 million grassroots supporters like you -- and together we're going to win this election the right way. [The old-fashioned way, the Chicago way, with New Black Panther intimidation, union bosses and lots of dead people voting in North Carolina, Ohio, Illinois to name but a few].
The donation you give today will make a big impact in the final stage of this race. [That's why I'm sending it to R&R]. And on November 7th, you can wake knowing that you did everything you could to help us deliver on the full promise of the next four years. [God help America!]
Make this our biggest week yet, and give $5 or more right now to win this election in the final two months...." [Over my Taxed Enough Already teacup, Michelle.]
Thank you,
Michelle ['finally proud of my country'] Obama"

Chilling Effects of Obamacare's HHS Mandate on Religious Freedom
Let’s set aside the lofty constitutional considerations of the HHS mandate for a moment to consider its practical application. Here are just a few facts about the mandate taken from the Becket Fund:
As the Becket Fund explains,
In essence, to comply with the HHS mandate, churches, synagogues, and mosques must mind their own business within their own walls among their own members and out of society. Catholic hospital could only hire Catholic staff and only cure ailing Catholics. Baptists might only employ Baptists to feed only hungry Baptists. Jews would only hire Jewish teachers to educate only Jewish children.
To preserve the religious exemption against crushing governmental fines, it is hardly a stretch to imagine that every sort of religious institution would require proof of religious identification shown at every Catholic charity, every Protestant hospital, every Islamic madrassa, and at every Jewish soup kitchen.
Just imagine. Any ministry activity outside one’s own particular religious group may void the exemption. Give a man a handout and you may have to pay for a woman’s abortion. Evangelize a newcomer and your church must now fund sterilization and morning-after pills. Imagine a Catholic I.D. card required to enter school. Show your Star of David for medical treatment.
This HHS penalty will freeze private charitable outreach and service, stigmatizing religious orders and driving religious evangelization and ministries underground or out of business. The mandate could create an underground religious black market, encouraging people to lie about or hide their true faith or their activities.
Or worse: the Obamacare HHS mandate could cause people to believe that religious charity is illegal since the government is taking care of people anyway and there are fines against practicing faith in public. “Besides,” they’ll say, "with Obamacare, there is no need to take care of others, to care for our brothers. After all, I gave at the office through Obamacare.”
If we do not stand up and unite against this mandate as a nation, if the HHS mandate is left unopposed and intact, it will quietly force each person to accept small increases in insurance premiums passed on through employers who have no choice. What will you do when you have to pay that little bit more? Government incrementalism and public complacency accomplish what no violent revolution ever could.
Today, in America, our own government is threatening churches and religious people with socialized healthcare that demands payment without exception for procedures and drugs that many of us consider immoral and against our religious beliefs. This is not the first time a government has persecuted peoples of faith.
Less than 100 years ago, the ideology of Marxism-Leninism made atheism the official doctrine of the Soviet Union. In 1918 Lenin issued a decree on the separation of church and state, which stripped churches of protective exemptions from government actions. The decree unionized teachers as state workers and banned the teaching of religious doctrines in public and private schools. Sound familiar? Marxism-Leninism advocated the control, suppression, and the elimination of religion in Russia through harassment, ridicule, propaganda, the outright seizure of property, imprisonment, torture and wide scale murder.
Thanks to the new film For Greater Glory, many Americans are just now learning about the 90,000 Mexican Catholics who were savagely hunted, harassed, tortured and murdered by Mexico’s communist regime in the 1920’s.
Most of us know that Adolf Hitler ordered the grotesque annihilation of over 6 million Jews and those who protected them simply for being Jewish. Like Russian counterparts Marx, Lenin and Stalin, and like Mexico’s Plutarco Calles, Hitler was also a socialist, the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party.
Even more recently, in our lifetime, following the communist revolution of 1959, the government of Cuba restricted religious freedoms, persecuting many Catholics at universities and jobs. In three years, eighty percent of the professional Catholic priests and Protestant ministers left Cuba for the United States.
What made the difference between countries like Russia and Cuba and those of Mexico and Europe? The Cubans fled. The Russians cowered. The Cristeros and the WWII Allies organized and resisted the government oppression. That resistance has made all the difference.
It is not enough to rally today and then do nothing tomorrow. Each of us must make our own personal choice now to flee and cower, to accept this mandated control of religious liberty, to pay the fine, or to stand up with courage and with faith to oppose this governmental oppression of religious freedom. Now is the moment to protect our faith and protect our freedom. For if we do not protect religious freedom today, history teaches that we may be called to fight for it in the future.
The government mandate is unprecedented in federal law, and broader than any state contraception mandate to date. Never has federal law required private health plans to cover sterilization or contraception.
The … “religious employer” exemption from the mandate … is extremely narrow and will, in practice, cover very few religious employers. Many religious organizations—including hospitals, charitable service organizations, and schools—cannot meet this definition. They would be forced to choose between covering drugs and services contrary to their religious beliefs or cease to offer health plans to their employees and incur substantial fines.Either pay for abortions under a health care plan or cancel health care and still pay hefty fines. So, a Baptist private school that currently offers health insurance to teachers must continue to pay the insurance fee mandated to cover abortions, sterilizations and other objectionables or cancel its insurance group coverage and pay a fine for doing so. Either way the school must pay unless it closes its doors to all non-Baptists.
As the Becket Fund explains,
Not even Jesus’ ministry would qualify for this exemption, because He fed, healed, served, and taught non-Christians. . . . Under the government’s mandate, religious organizations can follow their beliefs as long as they only serve their own members. But when they start to do the good work of serving the community, the government can restrict them.Do you see what the Obamacare HHS mandate is doing? The HHS mandate demands religious bigotry and faith-based isolationism as a precondition to serving the greater good of public health.
In essence, to comply with the HHS mandate, churches, synagogues, and mosques must mind their own business within their own walls among their own members and out of society. Catholic hospital could only hire Catholic staff and only cure ailing Catholics. Baptists might only employ Baptists to feed only hungry Baptists. Jews would only hire Jewish teachers to educate only Jewish children.

Susan's Voters' Guide 2012 California Open Primary
June 5th is California's first ever "open" primary. That means the two candidates who win the highest number of votes advance to the November General Election. With registered Democrats outnumbering Republicans in California, you may think your vote doesn't matter, but consider this simple fact from TeaPAC:
CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE (scroll down for Measures):
United States Senate: Al Ramirez, a true conservative businessman originally from Texas with Hispanic heritage. He is much like Marco Rubio and will bring many conservative Democrat hispanic voters across the line to join us.
U.S. Representative (28th District): Lack luster field, so I'll go with Phil Jennerjahn who at least talks a good game and is endorsed by my local Tea Party.
State Senator (25th District): Gilbert V. Gonzales, the only conservative in the field, and another good cross-over for Hispanics who may prefer principle over politics. He was very smart in filing bilingual statements in the voter's guide.
State Assembly (43rd District): Republican Greg Krikorian because Democrat Mike Gatto just has to go.
For Judge of the Superior Court:
Office No. 3: Sean Coen
Office No. 10: Sanjay T. Kumar
Office No. 38: Lynn Diane Olsen
Office No. 65: Andrea Thompson
Office no. 78: James D. Otto
Office No. 115: Berj Parseghian
County District Attorny: Alan Jackson
County Supervisor 5th District: Michael D. Antonovich
For other California races, please check out TeaPAC's 2012 Voter Guide.
PROPOSED MEASURES: We are taxed enough already. Vote NO to more new taxes.
NO on 28.
NO on 29.
NO on Measure H.
NO on Measure L.
There were 500,000 Republicans in L. A. County who didn’t vote in the November 2008 elections. If every Republican in Los Angeles County votes, we win the County. If we win L.A. County, we win the State. If we win the State, we win the National Election. THAT’S HOW IMPORTANT LOS ANGELES COUNTY IS TO THIS ELECTION! Let’s make sure those two candidates are Republicans.Here's how I will be voting June 5th for those races on my ballot in California.

Obama Begs Support for his Marriage Switcheroo
President Obama's campaign just sent out his umpteenth fundraising appeal, this time couched as a thoughtful explanation for his recent declaration of war on traditional marriage. Below is an excerpt from his email letter. The black text is Obama's original text. The text in red translates the political-speak into something we can all understand.
Susan -- aka Liberal Mailing List Drone
Today, I was asked a direct question and gave a direct answer: My Veep Joe "Gaff-a-Minute" Biden got me into this FUBAR, and I would really rather not go here, but Carville is nervous we're gonna lose BIG in November so I have to come out of the closet on this issue to rally my extremist base.
I believe that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry. Please understand, back in 2008 I needed the black vote. Since they're in the tank for me now, I really need the gay vote in Hollywood and their money to win in 2012.
I hope you'll take a moment to watch the conversation, consider it, and weigh in yourself on behalf of marriage equality. http://my.democrats.org/Marriage . . . Wasserman-Schultz shouldn't have picked a traditional marriage/ right to work state like North Carolina state for our national convention! I need something positive to spin here.
I've always believed that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly and equally. Marriage is discriminatory as an institution against women especially. Always has been -- just ask my mom. I was reluctant to use the term marriage because of the very powerful traditions it evokes. I oppose all American traditions, especially powerful ones, and Thanksgiving is next but I didn't want you to know. And I thought civil union laws that conferred legal rights upon gay and lesbian couples were a solution. I hoped the gay lobby would STFU until after November 2012 when I have more flexibility -- didn't they get the memo from my buddy Putin?!?!?!
...
So I decided it was time to affirm my personal belief that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry. Internal White House polls tell us we're moving back to Chicago in December. Michelle is frantic because she can't focus on her next vacation, her organic garden or her food agenda for all Americans.
I respect the beliefs of others, and the right of religious institutions to act in accordance with their own doctrines. Except when it comes to contraception and that nefarious Catholic Church! They've gotta pay for abortion and sterilization under Obamacare just like everyone else. Religious objectors be damned!! But I believe that in the eyes of the law, all Americans should be treated equally. It's just that some people, like my liberal financial supporters, are more equal than others. And where states enact same-sex marriage, no federal act should invalidate them. Unless the state enacts a traditional definition of marriage as being solely between one man and one woman. Those have to be steamrolled just like Arizona's immigration laws. And we're gonna get rid of DOMA, too, just as soon as I'm re-elected. Pinky Promise!
If you agree, you can stand up with me here. I need MONEY. Seriously, hit the Donate button. NOW!
Thank you,
Barack (He who killed Osama bin Laden. That was me! and I like having a one word name like Rush and Oprah!)
---
More than 1.9 million people like you power this campaign. Thanks to our union money laundering operations across the country. If you can, please donate now. Tell us you still like us, PUH-LEEZE!!Marriage is now just another evolving plank in Obama's Social Gospel.

Horror Movie Come True: Soylent Green is Babies
From American films like Soylent Green and Sweeny Todd to Chinese movie fare Dumplings, human flesh as food is a recurrent horror film them. In a disturbing Movie-Come-True moment, South Korea has discovered that the Chinese are making health pills out of dead babies and exporting them.
Back in August of 2011, a South Korean watchdog group exposed the underground market for aborted and still-born babies between the South Korean government and China. At least one blog captured the watchdog group's documentary report in Korean without English translation. The watchdog group claimed that DNA tests showed the pills were 99.7 percent human and could determine the gender of the baby.
The original 2011 report in the San Francisco Times story did not specify whether the South Korean watchdog group had provided specifics detailing the ratio of boys to girls in the pills. But since China dictates couples may bear only one child, it is a safe bet that the majority of those baby pills were made from girls, aborted out of a desperate choice forced upon pregnant mothers by a misogynist combination of culture and communism all in the name of environmental concerns (Where are the feminists? Holding their CO2 breath?).
Setting aside the frightening prospect that governments are collaborating internationally to profit from forced abortion, the logical legislatively foreseeable progression of events right here in America foreshadow the abortion industry's international monetizing. It is no secret that American businesses routinely insist on using tissues from aborted babies for medicines, vaccines and even taste-testing new soda flavors.
Without moral principles to guide health care, cannibalism is just another man's medicine. At the end of the day, microwaving, drying out and grinding up aborted and still-born babies to compound them into fountain-of-youth cure all pills for superstitious customers is just another justifiable scientific use of fetal tissue for health care.
Just as with so many other scientific innovations, China is copying America and the UK and simply upgrading to the next operating system, Abortion OS-2 with an environmentally friendly twist, bio-recycling of carbon based footprints. Soylent Green is Babies.
South Korea has seized thousands of smuggled drug capsules filled with powdered flesh from dead babies, which some people believe can cure disease, officials said Monday. The capsules were made in northeastern China from babies whose bodies were chopped into small pieces and dried on stoves before being turned into powder, the Korea Customs Service said.
Customs officials refused to say where the dead babies came from or who made the capsules, citing possible diplomatic friction with Beijing. Chinese officials ordered an investigation into the production of drugs made from dead fetuses or newborns last year.But it gets worse. South Korea may be a partner in a sick symbiotic relationship with China.

It is no secret that American businesses routinely insist on using tissues from aborted babies for medicines, vaccines and even taste-testing new soda flavors.
[U]se of tissue from aborted fetuses is not a new practice. Controversy really began after 20/20 aired its undercover investigation into the harvesting of fetal tissues in 2000. Investigate Magazine, a conservative Christian publication in New Zealand, describes this as the “hidden side of medical research.” In the U.S., the National Council for State Legislatures states that many states “restrict research on aborted fetuses or embryos, but research is often permitted with consent of the patient.” What Investigate Magazine found was that University of Auckland, in collaboration with the University of Washington, is also conducting experiments using tissues from aborted babies in eyesight research. Here’s the kicker — the aborted fetus tissues are imported from America. (from The Blaze)The UK already has secret stockpile of experimental human-animal hybrid zygotes ready and waiting in cryogenic freeze for God-knows-what sick "scientific" excuse. So what's the big deal about using "unwanted" babies to help build the brave new world complete with cherry-flavored Pepsi, anyway?
Without moral principles to guide health care, cannibalism is just another man's medicine. At the end of the day, microwaving, drying out and grinding up aborted and still-born babies to compound them into fountain-of-youth cure all pills for superstitious customers is just another justifiable scientific use of fetal tissue for health care.
