In Support Of Christians In The Middle East


Gizah Pyramids In Egypt

Christians in the Middle East, have come under attack by some, not all, Muslims in the region, who are engaging in religious discrimination. The religious persecution in the Middle East is manifesting itself in the form of violence against Christians, which is completely unacceptable. People should have the right to practice their faith without fear of persecution or violence.

President Obama has pledged $3 billion dollars in U.S. taxpayer money to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, while attacks against Christians continue unabated. I for one do not want my tax money given to those that would harass, persecute and engage in violence against Christians. I am all for democracy in Egypt and celebrate with the nation in its victories, but the government must show fairness and tolerance for Egyptian Christians and Jews.

U.S. President Barack Obama

If U.S. tax dollars are to be given in such great number and during an unprecedented financial crisis in America, it should be to provide food, clothing and shelter to Egypt's poor. Not to an organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, who "supports terrorism" according to the FBI.

If the violence against Middle Eastern Christians does not desist, the West needs to reconsider the financial aide to offending governments and provide asylum to those being persecuted based on their religion with the possibility of death.

Why Has Obama Given Billions Of Dollars To A Terrorist Organization


Barack Obama: it's just a few billion dollars

It was reported this week that U.S. President, Barack Obama, has given $3 billion dollars in American taxpayer money to the Muslim Brotherhood. However, what some do not know is, the FBI has designated them an organization that supports terrorism. Yes, you read that right - terrorism. President Obama has also given millions of dollars to the rebels in Libya, who are self-confessed Al Qaeda members.

Therefore, what's going on here. Why is the President of the United States of America, forking over huge sums of taxpayer money to people and groups officially designated terrorists. If a U.S. citizen or resident dared give a dollar to any group the FBI classified a terrorist organization or those with links to such entities, indictments, arrests and lengthy prison sentences would ensue. I for one, don't want my tax money spent that way (and once again, I have paid taxes and amazingly my copyrights did as well).

This is exactly how the terrorist that became Osama Bin Laden was born. The White House and CIA engaged violent men in the Middle East, gave them a fortune in U.S. taxpayer money, $3 billion (again), to fight a perceived enemy, Russia, only for the relationship to sour a few years later and innocent American civilians have been paying the price for it ever since, in appalling acts of murder in the name of terrorism and Allah. It’s time to break the cycle or history will repeat itself again.

FBI: Muslim Brotherhood supports terrorism

February 10, 2011 06:12 pm EST - Muslim Brotherhood, the banned opposition political outfit in Egypt, supports terrorism according to FBI Director Robert Muller. Muller made the statement during a Congressional hearing on Thursday where lawmakers said that the group is using peaceful protests in Egypt to grab power.

“Elements of the Muslim Brotherhood here and overseas have supported terrorism,” Muller said in response to a question at a hearing on “Worldwide Threats” by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Muller, who refrained to give any further information in an open session, said that the United States has no relationship with Muslim Brotherhood.

Congress Sponging Off The State While Cutting Citizens' Benefits


Congress

Sometimes when I read articles with transcripts or watch televised footage of members of Congress bickering to no effect or positive resolution, I am reminded of the fact that many of them are sponging off the state, while hypocritically lecturing the populace about unemployment and waste.

Not only do the nation's taxpayers, myself included, especially with all the copyrights that were criminally stolen and the tax money it spawned, pay their salaries ($174,000 - $225,000 per year), they receive generous benefits as well (great top of the line health insurance, large pensions and all expense paid luxury travel accommodations with free food and alcohol). As such, I and others have the right to sound off when they fail or engage in wretched behavior.

A number of lawmakers in Congress have been busted taking bribes to supplement their six figure incomes, which they receive for arguing on the people's dime, about things like fried chicken (Who are they? Colonel Sanders) - while the serious issues in life, such as people dying from diseases like cancer and AIDS, as others fraudulently tamper with research funding through brazen criminal theft, goes on in the real world. Maybe Congress should join the rest of us in the real world. It would make a nice change of pace.

Former President George W. Bush In Congress, Who Cosigned All His Madness And Unruly Spending

This is the same Congress that refuses to cut their own bloated pay, while not making the grade, but are looking for ways to give the nation's rich massive tax breaks and cuts at the expense of the middle class and poor, who are being gouged by corporations. Clearly, Big Oil "greased your palms" campaign funds, so its okay for them to bleed the people dry (in your unethical estimation).

Programs to help poor people and the disabled have been cruelly cut, yet the government can afford an endless supply of million dollar bombs to use in illegal wars for oil (Obama Costing Americans Billions With War In Libya). When you do things like that as a legislature (and President) at least have the common decency not to publicly patronize the people, regarding why vital programs that help citizens in need are being discontinued.

This is the same Congress that allows the FBI to violate the privacy and constitutional rights of Americans EVERY SINGLE DAY, each time giving them a slap on the wrist for these criminal offenses, then it's back to the business of being overbearing eavesdroppers and snoopers.

This is the same Congress green lighting war after war they know is suspect and issuing billions in military based foreign aid, while giving domestic citizens nasty looks when threatening to cut unemployment, during a financial crisis they and the last president squarely started, bringing so much grief and suffering on not just America, but the world as well.

This is the same Congress contemplating destroying Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Imagine that, millions of Americans paid into Social Security for decades and now you want to spit in the populace's face, stating you are working to cut the programs. How is that fair, decent or moral? That is the equivalent of reneging on a contract.

President Barack Obama In Congress, Who Have Rubber Stamped His Unprecedented, Wild Spending

I live in the Social Security state, Florida, which is full of retirees, who have stories of how hard they worked to retire in peace. I can tell you off hand, there will be widespread homelessness if Congress ends Social Security and not just in this state, but the entire nation.

Retirees will not have enough money to pay their bills, in a society where the cost of food, gas, clothes and shelter have skyrocketed. This happened due to the horrible financial conditions Congress allowed to take root in the nation, under former President George W. Bush, which has continued under President Obama.

The congressional classes that served in Bush's time and now Obama's are bar none, the absolute worst in U.S. history. God blessed you with the most prosperous nation on earth and look what you did and permitted as the nation's legislature. The buck stops with you. Congress allowed this nightmare.

If Congress were a corporation it would be bankrupt, sued for woeful negligence, ineptitude and misconduct and put out of business. However, since Congress is funded by the taxpayers, with no real oversight, they are allowed to fail and spectacularly so. Nice work if you can get it. But then again, one would have to live with the shame of having failed a nation, leaving millions to suffer and which self-respecting person could look themselves in the mirror after doing something like that.

What Kind of Benefits Does Congress Really Get?

December 15, 2010 - During the recession, as Americans saw their 401(k)s sink and their Social Security benefits questioned, many were quick to comment: "Why should members of Congress care? They get pensions for life."

And when the health care debate heated up, some felt the discussion might have been different if members of Congress didn't have such a cushy deal for their own medical coverage...

If Obama Had Ended The Wars And Not Started Another One…

Most Of America's Financial And Social Problems Would Be Solved

Barack Obama: I wish I was out shooting hoops

The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, initiated by President George W. Bush and perpetuated by current head of state, Barack Obama, have cost the U.S. taxpayers close to $2 TRILLION DOLLARS. Imagine if that money had been spent at home.

President Barack Obama has also started a war in the African nation of Libya, which has already cost the American taxpayer billions. If President Barack Obama had stopped former President Bush's wars in the Middle East and not initiated a new one in Libya, America would be so much stronger than it is today.

The job crisis would be solved. Business and exports would be plenty. Foreclosures would have plummeted, as more people would be working again and able to pay their mortgage. University scholarships would be plentiful, leading to a greater level of education and pay for Americans. The greater the level of education, the stronger and more innovative the work force.

But what do we have instead? Soldiers continue to die abroad, leaving their families grief-stricken. Americans are unemployed in great numbers. Home foreclosures are escalating. Banks continue to close. The national deficit continues to climb. Services for the poor and disabled continue to be mercilessly and drastically cut by the government to pay for more bombs to drop on people. I was hoping for more from the Obama presidency than this.

President Obama's Economic Plan Is Not Working


Barack Obama

With a year and a half until the next Presidential Election in America, President Barack Obama's economic plan is not working. Wild and unruly spending by President Obama has significantly increased the national deficit, with international creditors becoming concerned, regarding the nation's ability to repay the staggering amount owed.

Over a trillion dollars of American taxpayer money thrown at corporations that caused the economic crisis that went global, is being hoarded and stolen by a number of companies, which is not doing the nation any good.

Gas prices are soaring in America and much of the Western world, due to the President's illegal and unconstitutional invasion of the nation of Libya. Rising gas prices nearly broke America a couple years ago.

President Obama's dogged devotion to clean energy and solar power, is costing America a big bundle, as studies and financial reports have irrefutably illustrated, it costs more than conventional methods. The President is also legislatively holding the nation back from exploring its own natural resources.

Unemployment remains stubbornly high, stuck in a cycle of gaining and losing jobs at the same time. Foreclosures continue to climb, years into the financial crisis, due to the failure of costly Obama mortgage programs that have now been scrapped.

Clinton To Congress On Libya: Butt Out


Barack Obama

U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, made very arrogant and dismissive statements regarding President Barack Obama's war in Libya, basically telling Congress to buzz off. Under U.S. law, Congress must greenlight all wars. However, the Obama Administration chose to skip this legal step in favor of a sneak invasion that is costing American taxpayers over $500,000,000 per week.

The CIA, DOD and FBI have gotten their hooks into President Obama and have led him astray. If the President believed his conduct was correct, why skip congressional confirmation and approval, as stipulated by law.

Obama Costing Americans Billions With War In Libya

U.S. Congressman Kucinich, made some very strong and sensible points during an RT interview, regarding President Barack Obama's ill-advised, unlawful military expedition into Libya. Obama has disappointed many with this terrible decision, which has already resulted in thousands of civilian fatalities in Libya and damaged their infrastructure.

For every week the United States is in Libya during this illegal war, it shall cost the American taxpayer $500,000,000. (half a billion dollars). Every Tomahawk missile dropped in Libya, costs the American taxpayer $1,000,000.

Barack Obama

Thus far, a reported 235 Tomahawk missiles have been dropped. You do the math. That's an additional $235 million dollars of your tax money gone in vain, on missiles that have not stopped the Gadhafi family. It would have been cheaper and more effective to buy Raid. The Obama Administration's conduct in this matter is socially and financially unwise.

Kucinich, like many others, are bringing up the fact, President Obama, has committed an impeachable offense, by starting this war in Libya, without Congressional authority. He most likely did so, because he doubted he would receive clearance.
