IF any other American "president" ..........
Source: Author unknown
IF
If an estimated 30% percent of the American people had rational, well documented evidence that any other of our presidents was not an American citizen would you support requiring him to demonstrate his citizenship and eligibility for the office?
If any other of our presidents had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
If any other of our presidents had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?
If any other of our presidents had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head?
If any other of our presidents joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration,
would you question his patriotism and wonder who's side he was on?
If any other of our presidents had pronounced the Marine Corps like Marine Corpse, would you think him an idiot?
If any other of our presidents had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one foreign company had an accident, would you have agreed?
If any other of our presidents had just invaded a sovereign country (Libya) with absolutely no justification nor citing any threat to the US in support of the rapidly expanding Islamic global caliphate, would you be supporting it like both major US parties?
If any other of our presidents had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87000 American workers unemployed would you support him?
If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take his First Lady to a play in NYC, would you have approved?
If any other of our presidents had reduced your retirement plan holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?
If any other of our presidents had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought it a proud moment for America ?
If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?
If any other of our presidents had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
If any other of our presidents had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?
If any other of our presidents had stated that there were 57 states in the United States , wouldn't you have had second thoughts about his capabilities?
If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in his home town, would you not have thought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical jerk.
If any other of our presidents had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment?
If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?
If any other of our presidents' administrations had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?
If any other of our presidents had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
If any other of our presidents had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have ever approved.
If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?
Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 21 months -- so you have that much time to come up with an answer.
Every statement and action in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.
I WONDER HOW MANY OF YOU WILL FORWARD THIS or post it to your blogs?

Sharia Comes to US: Florida Judge Rules Sharia Must Solve Case, Not US Law
Florida Judge Defends Decision to Apply Islamic Law in Tampa Case
They do it all over Europe, now they are doing it here: Sharia Courts Granted Authority in Florida:
Sheik Obama said to be singing Allahu Akbar!
Judge orders use of Islamic Law in lawsuit arbitration: MyFoxORLANDO.com
A Florida judge is defending his controversial decision to apply Islamic law instead of state or federal statutes in determining whether an arbitration award was correct, the St. Petersburg Times reports.
The case in question involves former trustees of a local Tampa mosque, the Islamic Education Center of Tampa, who are suing because they claim they were unfairly removed as trustees.
Hillsborough Circuit Judge Richard Nielsen said that the two parties can seek guidance from the Koran to resolve their dispute, according to MyFoxOrlando.com.
Nielsen said that based on testimony, "under ecclesiastical law," and pursuant to the Koran, "Islamic brothers should attempt to resolve a dispute among themselves."
"If Islamic brothers are unable to do so, they can agree to present the dispute to the greater community of Islamic brothers within the mosque or the Muslim community for resolution," he said.
The two parties reportedly agreed ahead of time to use an imam and Islamic Law to resolve any potential differences through arbitration.
Legal observers say there are several cases in which agreements between two parties can supercede general laws in Florida -- like when a couple makes a prenuptial agreement.
"What the judge has said is that he will apply the Islamic Law, because that is what the two parties agreed to in their arbitration clause," Shahzad Ahmed, an attorney with NeJame Law Firm in Orlando, told the station. "This concept of agreeing to a different set of rules outside of state law is not unusual."
In an effort to defend his ruling, Nielsen issued an opinion Tuesday stating: "From the outset of learning of the purported arbitration award, the court's concern has been whether there were ecclesiastical principles for dispute resolution involved that would compel the court to adopt the arbitration decision without considering state law."
"The court has concluded that as to the question of enforceability of the arbitrator's award the case should proceed under ecclesiastical Islamic law," Nielsen said, according to the St. Petersburg Times.

Blow Me Away!!!! The Dalai Lama Is Resigning!
I never thought I'd see this!
The Dalai Lama Is Resigning!This marks the end of any real hope for Tibetan Independence.
| Sourece: Focus: Taiwan News Chanel: Dalai firm on his decision to quit politics 2011/03/17 23:29:33 | ||
It was time he terminated an outdated system that had been there for four centuries, he told reporters at Dharamsala. On March 10, he announced his intention to relinquish his political role to a popularly elected leader. "My desire to devolve authority has nothing to do with a wish to shirk responsibility. It is to benefit Tibetans in the long run, " he said at the time. The Cabinet of his government-in-exile has agreed to honor his decision, but the parliament-in-exile, which convened on March 14, hoped he would continue to lead. During an interview with foreign media, including the CNA, the 75-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate said: "If (the parliamentarians) come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, then I will tell them: No, my decision as far as an institution as a head of both temporal and spiritual, that must end, that is outdated." He said he made that decision out of his own accord, not out of pressure. The Dalai Lama said that his leadership was as outdated as a monarchy and insisted he would relinquish a four-century old tradition of power. "The rule by spiritual leaders, the rule by kings or rajas is now outdated, " said the 14th Dalai Lama, who has been calling for democratic reforms since the 1960s. "I do not want to be like (ousted President of Egypt Hosni) Mubarak." He said successful democracy in Taiwan, India and Japan gave him confidence that democracy is fit for Asian countries. It should also inspire Tibetans that Tibet must also implement full democracy. He was particularly impressed by Taiwan's rule of law as demonstrated in the jailing of former President Chen Shui-bian, whom he called "a good friend of mine, " on conviction of corruption charges. He said he hopes the people of Taiwan will keep their confidence and courage in the face of a rapidly changing world. Dalai also hoped that Taiwan will keep upholding such universal values as democracy, the rule of law and transparency. (By Ho Hung-ju and S.C. Chang) enditem/jc |

Harold Camping, America's Most Boring Preacher, Foretells Rapture and End of World
Originally false prophet Harold Camping and Family Radio set the "Rapture" for 1988 with his book 88 Reasons Why the Rapture is in 1988.
He made millions!
Now he's claiming the Tribulation began in 1988 and the Rapture will happen on May 21, 2011.
Then, on October 21, he says the world will be destroyed....
Well its about time...
... err... I mean, its about time the world sees this false prophet for what he is.
The Tribulation has not yet begun, but it is doubtless close.
Harold Camping is merely one of the many false prophets the real prophets foretold would arise the end of days.
Maybe gullible people will stop supporting him when this one fails.

A Name Change and a Reminder About Our Shabbat Services Broadcasts This Week
Shalom friends!
I will gradually be updating my writings and records throughout my ministry outlets and those of Temple and Yeshiva Beth HaShem to reflect an honor that has been bestowed upon me by Rebbe Larry Levine of Temple Beth HaShem.
Rebbe Larry has spiritually adopted me as his son as allowed in Jewish law. As a result, I have been adopted into the Levi'yim (the House of Levi) and will begin using the name Yochanan Levine rather than Yochanan ben Avraham.
Here I will remain John of AllFaith. I'm just sharing this with you.
Traditionally male converts to Judaism take the surname "ben Avraham" (son of Avraham) however Jews have the authority to spiritually adopt converts and grant them admission into their family lineages.
When I first formally converted I followed the standard tradition and embraced the name Yochanan (John) ben Avraham. As I have now been brought into the family of Rebbe Larry (Label ben Shmu'el Levine) I have adopted the name Rabbi Yochanan ben Label Levine.
Reminder:
Temple Beth HaShem will again be broadcasting our Shabbat Services live this week:
Friday evening: 7 P.M. (Pacific): Our Shabbat service.
Saturday morning: 11 AM (Pacific): Our Parsha Reading (Torah portion).
The application to watch the broadcasts is located on our various homepages. Once the broadcasts are live the "Offline" notice will change to "Live." Then, click the arrow to tune in.

REAL ID is HERE! Bush Started It And Obama Will Complete It In 90 Days!
LAW to carry a "National ID" card.
Big Brother has officially arrived in the United States of America.
The Real ID Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-13, 119 Stat 392) will go into effect on May 11, 2011, requiring the federalization of State-issued driver's licenses.
The REAL ID card is the type of card the Nazis and the communists in the Soviet Union made people carry.
Driver's licenses have always been under the jurisdiction of the States, but the REAL ID Act gives the federal government control over every State Department of Motor Vehicles, and requires that States implement these national ID cards based on strict federal guidelines. States have to meet whatever standards the Department of Homeland Security deems acceptable... and the cards will be required to include "machine-readable technology," which means an RFID chip will be attached that can hold personal data and a GPS tracker.
The government will know where you are at all times.
PLEASE HELP US STOP THIS REAL ID CARD! Congress needs to hear from you right now so they can STOP THIS before it takes effect! CLICK HERE to FAX every Member of the U.S. Congress and REMIND THEM that the creation of a uniform, federal drivers' license/ID card exceeds the financial limits established by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-4, 2 USC 1501). Tell them to STOP any form of a National I.D. card or National Drivers' license. The Real ID Act goes beyond Constitutional limits, and that the American people will not be subjected to what amounts to an internal passport. Please help us fight this usurpation of YOUR privacy rights---and CHALLENGE an unlawful demand on the States. OUR PERSONAL FREEDOMS must be preserved.
REAL ID IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
The Constitution of the United States of America does not allow the federal government to compel the states into a "uniform" method of personal identification for its citizens.
It also means DECREASED IDENTIFICATION SECURITY! Now, to steal someone's identity, thieves only have to know how to replicate ONE identification card, not 50 different ones like we have now... and with all of your information being stored in one place, every bit of your personal data will be at increased risk if someone gets access to your card!
And, YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER SHOULDN'T BE CONNECTED TO YOUR IDENTIFICATION! There is no federal law that requires an American citizen to have a Social Security Number (SSN!) Federal law makes it a crime to use this number for identification purposes... yet the REAL ID Act would REQUIRE your SSN to be a part of your national ID!
The United States of America is not Nazi Germany---but Barack Obama's America is quickly resembling something like that. Did you ever think you would experience invasive, Big Brother tactics here in the U.S. in which uniformed officers ask: "Let me see your papers?"
PLEASE HELP US STOP THIS REAL ID CARD! Congress needs to hear from you right now so they can STOP THIS before it takes effect! CLICK HERE to FAX every Member of the U.S. Congress and REMIND THEM that the creation of a uniform, federal drivers' license/ID card exceeds the financial limits established by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-4, 2 USC 1501).

The Real ID Act goes beyond Constitutional limits, and that the American people will not be subjected to what amounts to an internal passport. Please help us fight this usurpation of YOUR privacy rights---and CHALLENGE an unlawful demand on the States. OUR PERSONAL FREEDOMS must be preserved.
If this battle is not waged---and won---by May 11, 2011, the American people will be carrying a federal ID card that will double as a State-issued drivers' license. You will need it to vote. You will need it to enter a federal building. You will need it to buy a plane ticket.
And, believe it or not, you will need it if you are stopped while jogging in the park or sitting on your front porch. Oh, yes... and because it will be your drivers' license as well, you will need it to drive your car.
You will need it for whatever the Department of Homeland Security determines you need it for!

George Orwell's "1984" has finally arrived---27 years late.
Before a REAL ID can be issued, the applicant must provide the following documentation:
1. A photo ID, or a non-photo ID that includes his or her full legal name and birth date
2. Documentation of birth date (i.e., your birth certificate)
3. Documentation of legal status and Social Security number
4. Third party documentation showing name and place of residence.
No big deal, if you're trying to keep terrorists out of the country.
But the liberties we will give up in order to accept this government control and intrusion on our privacy are monumental.
As Benjamin Franklin warned, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
You may be wondering how in the world we could have allowed this to happen. We "allowed it" to happen because we were more concerned about terrorists than civil liberties. REAL ID requires State driver's license authorities to use more stringent measures to verify Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, proof of citizenship and immigration status. The act prescribes 18 SEPARATE SECURITY CONTROLS that States are now required to use when issuing driver's licenses.
The REAL ID program has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with control.
If this battle is not waged---and won---by May 11, 2011, "Real ID" will go into effect.
You will have to carry your card to vote.
You will have to carry your card to enter a federal building.
You will have to carry your card to buy a plane ticket.
You will have to keep your "national driver's license" on your person at all times, whether you are driving or not---you will need it whether you are playing tennis, sitting on your front porch, or walking up to the corner to catch a taxi.
Ultimately, just as Social Security Cards were never supposed to be used for ID purposes, Real ID drivers' license will, very quickly, become de facto national ID cards, which is why people who don't drive will still need to carry one.
THOSE OF US WHO RESPECT OUR CONSTITUTION AND HOLD OUR PRIVACY IN HIGH ESTEEM MUST ACT NOW TO STOP THIS INTRUSION. MAY 11 IS FAST APPROACHING.
Congress needs to hear from you right now so they can STOP THIS before it takes effect! CLICK HERE to FAX every Member of the U.S. Congress and REMIND THEM that the creation of a uniform, federal drivers' license/ID card exceeds the financial limits established by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-4, 2 USC 1501). Tell them to STOP any form of a National I.D. card or National Drivers' license. The Real ID Act goes beyond Constitutional limits, and that the American people will not be subjected to what amounts to an internal passport. Please help us fight this usurpation of YOUR privacy rights---and CHALLENGE an unlawful demand on the States. OUR PERSONAL FREEDOMS must be preserved.
Personal data about you has already been taken and it has been stored in a dossier about you.
This information will be available to law enforcement officials in all other States. That means the presumptions of "unreasonable search" are void, because if you are stopped in any State for speeding, the police in that State can "read" the database assigned to your card and virtually "share your information" over the Internet with any other government agency in any State.
The REAL ID Act violates the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, because a State driver's license should be under the control of individual U.S.States---NOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. A federal drivers' license violates the Tenth Amendment with respect to State power, and obliterates the states' dual sovereignty with the federal government.
We must do everything that we can to invalidate this Act by May 11, 2011.
REAL ID is REAL intrusive! We must make sure this doesn't happen in America. Please send your faxes now.
Sincerely,
Tony Adkins
Conservative Action Alerts
P. S. The REAL ID Act implementation will make it much easier for the federal government to track every American---which is its purpose under the REAL ID Act. This is an outright act of control on the part of the Obama administration, only one of the many agenda items they are implementing in order to have power over every American citizen. We must speak up, quickly, and make sure a National I.D. card NEVER becomes reality in the United States of America.
