Shocked!

Shocked at the verdict that only found Casey Anthony guilty of lying to the police! I was not all that sure of first degree murder, but from what I read and heard, Casey Anthony had something to do with her daughter’s death.  But then, I was not on the jury to hear all the testimony and hear and see all the presented evidence. But justice has yet to be served for little Caylee Anthony.  Here are a few reactions to the verdict.

A Victory for Christian Prayer

All I can Say is, “Praise the Lord!” God Prevailed!

Pres. Obama is Now Against DOMA

President Obama gave the okay to stop enforcing the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which will lead to full legalization of homosexual marriage. This makes many Christians, especially in the black community who voted for him angry. After all, the Pres. did state his belief when he was a presidential candidate that marriage was between a man and a woman. I know Christians in my family/friend circle are quite upset. I wonder how other Christian blacks that voted for him mainly because he was black and Democrat are feeling about his turning his back on DOMA!

Matthew 19:4-6

And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

So why the change of mind? Gays and lesbians are increasingly unhappy with the Pres. Obama’s inaction on the issues most important to them. This latest action against DOMA will help to retain the homosexual support for his 2012 reelection. What is it with Pres. Obama not enforcing federal laws (see this)? This turning his back on certain law enforcement, well that will have to be another post.

Rancher Has to Pay $87,000 to Illegals

Do you feel it is right to make a rancher pay 16 illegal aliens $87,000.00 who trespassed on his ranch to enter into this country? Rancher, Roger Barnett held them at gunpoint, assaulted verbally and physically assaulted  some of them with kicking, thus causing  emotional distress? That is what happened to rancher, Roger Barnett. There could be an argument for the verbal assault and the kicking, but there was no evidence of kicking on the bodies of the illegals and they did not seek any medical help according to Barnett’s Lawyer. Now is that really worth the $87,000 judgement which was upheld on appeal by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals?

Mr. Barnett’s ranch seems to be a favorite route through the years for illegals. Mr. Barnett has suffered damage to his ranch from the trespassing. When I hear the arguments in support of the verdict against Mr. Barnett, I wonder what the supporters would do if they find themselves with strangers trespassing on their property. After all, when Mr. Barnett first came across these trespassers, he was very uncertain about his family’s safety. Making him pay $87,000 is outrageous.

See a discussion in the video below and see another discussion here which includes Mr. Barnett’s lawyer and Jehmu Green who argues in support of the outrageous verdict. BTW, the illegals who won this judgement were deported.

No to a Plea Deal for a Honor Killing Suspect

There maybe a plea deal in the works for Faleh Hassan Almaleki. He allegedly honor killed his 20-year-old daughter,  Noor Faleh Alamleki by running her over with his car and injuring the mother of her boyfriend who was walking with his daughter in Peoria, a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona in the fall of 2009.  He felt his daughter had become too westernized. Really, living in this country in your formative years is going to westernize you somewhat, regardless of parental control with middle eastern values. Noor Faleh Alamleki refused an arranged marriage and was living with her boyfriend and his parents. After the committing of the crime, he tried to escape to England, but denied entry into the country.

Why the plea deal? Is this not first degree murder? Honor killing is premeditated. What are the prosecutors thinking? Are they afraid to come across as being bigoted against Islam and Muslims? This plea deal better not be true. Anything less than first degree murder gives credence to the Muslim male’s right to kill females within their family structure who they have deemed to have brought dishonor in some way on the family name. Judge and executioner! Some reports say that Mr. Alamleki confessed to honor killing his daughter.  I heard on an evening cable news program that his defense is using the Sharia right to honor kill on religious grounds. Oh please! Is this more Sharia creeping? Read more here.

 

Loving the Internet, So Do Not Mess With It!

I cannot imagine life without the Internet today. Back in the mid 90s when I did not have an Internet connected computer, I used my Temple University alumni status to use an Internet computer in one of the many computer labs on the campus. Back then, there was one computer lab, that anyone off the street could use to get on the Internet.

I watched a weeknight MSNBC technology program, The Site (before MSNBC became a leftist machine) at 10 P. M.  hosted by Soledad O’Brien. I use to jot down pointers on improving one’s Internet experience and then after work, I would head over to a Temple U. computer lab and carry them out. In those days, 9 P. M. was the earliest I came home. From The Site, I learned about a free email account. The next evening, I established my first email account, Hotmail, which I still use today. I could not get over what a person could do through email communication!

I later took a few courses on the Internet and  early website (html) design. Because of the Internet,  research for projects is easier to obtain. Business moves at a faster pace. It is so much easier to communicate with people who are far away. There are just so many Internet uses that have made life nicer that cannot be listed here! I started reading blogs and columns, that I would never read in hard copy. Those readings were essential in my going conservative  and doing my own blogging.

Currently, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) wants to  increase the power of government over the Internet for regulation. Do we really need that? If you don’t think it is a big deal, think about it possibly leading to an increased  monthly bill for Internet use. This “net neutrality” is not really neutral. Are we headed down the road where the destination is control of the Internet a la China, Venezuela, and Muslim countries? Read more about what this is really about here. Please don’t screw up our Internet access.

NOTE: If you are wondering, Temple University now restricts its computer labs  to enrolled students. The cracked down came after 9/11.  By that time, I was Internet connected at home.
