Focusing on the wrong problems: “While America has been fixated on the threat of Islamic terrorism for more than a decade, all but a few domestic terror plots have failed. Between September 11, 2001, and the end of 2012, there were no successful bomb plots by jihadist terrorists in the United States. Jihadists killed 17 people in the United States in four separate incidents during this time, according to data collected by journalist Peter Bergen and the New America Foundation. All four of these incidents involved guns, including Nidal Hassan‘s shooting rampage at Fort Hood, which killed 13 people. In contrast, right-wing extremists killed 29 people during those 11 years.” –Mother Jones’ Dave Gilson
Gun grabbers: “I mean, if we could get guns under control, if we could get rid of them, I’m with all of that. … Of course I want to get rid of guns.” –actor Tracy Morgan
Taking Joe Biden’s advice: “If you live in a city and you think you need protection of your home, you’re way better off with a shotgun than an assault weapon. Trust me. It’s not even close.” –Bill Clinton
Amnesty: “Creating a pathway to earned citizenship for the 11 million unauthorized immigrants in this country is absolutely essential. The way we treat our friends and neighbors who are undocumented — by creating a mechanism for them to earn citizenship and to move out of the shadows — transcends the issue of immigration status. This is a matter of civil and human rights.” –Attorney General Eric Holder
Hot air: “If we want to make progress on climate change, we need everyone in Congress on board for a solution. It’s our job to show them there’s a price to pay for being a climate denier.” –Organizing for Action‘s Jon Carson
What’s disgusting? “When a woman doesn’t want to be pregnant, she’ll go through hell, high water in North Dakota — blizzards, floods, you know, she’ll hit a deer on the way, and have a flat tire and say, ‘Can I still come?’ When a woman doesn’t want to be pregnant, she’ll do what she needs to do. And unfortunately it just adds to the stigma that women feel when they hear all of these things about heart beat, sex selection, genetic abnormality. You know, abortion is very common and the stigma is disgusting.” –North Dakota abortion-clinic director Tammi Kromenaker

IF YOU ARE GAY AND IN THE U.S. MILITARY, YOU ARE FREE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF. IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN AND EXPRESS YOUR FAITH IN THE U.S. MILITARY YOU MAY BE PROSECUTED UNDER FEDERAL MILITARY LAW.
Punishment for this new “crime” may include imprisonment and being dishonorably discharged from the military.
Let the religious persecution begin….
The Pentagon has released a statement confirming that soldiers could be prosecuted for promoting their faith: “Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense…Court martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis…”.The statement, released to Fox News, follows a Breitbart News report on Obama administration Pentagon appointees meeting with anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein to develop court-martial procedures to punish Christians in the military who express or share their faith.
(From our earlier report: Weinstein is the head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and says Christians–including chaplains–sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in the military are guilty of “treason,” and of committing an act of “spiritual rape” as serious a crime as “sexual assault.” He also asserted that Christians sharing their faith in the military are “enemies of the Constitution.”)
Being convicted in a court martial means that a soldier has committed a crime under federal military law. Punishment for a court martial can include imprisonment and being dishonorably discharged from the military.
So President Barack Obama’s civilian appointees who lead the Pentagon are confirming that the military will make it a crime–possibly resulting in imprisonment–for those in uniform to share their faith. This would include chaplains—military officers who are ordained clergymen of their faith (mostly Christian pastors or priests, or Jewish rabbis)–whose duty since the founding of the U.S. military under George Washington is to teach their faith and minister to the spiritual needs of troops who come to them for counsel, instruction, or comfort.

![Kids, dont do drugs.. or you will end up like this idiot </p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <p>When Miami’s Penelope Soto was arrested for possession of controlled substance on Monday, she had to face Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat. And as she soon found out, his honor doesn’t take kindly to being disrespected.</p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <p>After Rodriguez-Chomat set Soto’s bond at $10,000, she became upset. She let loose a “fu** you” and flipped him the middle finger as she walked away. That’s when Rodriguez-Chomat called her back and asked what she said. And that’s also when he laid down the law. WSVN-TV has the exchange:</p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <p>Judge: “You said [expletive] me?”<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Soto: “Yes, sir, I did.”<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> The judge then laid down the law for being in contempt of court.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Judge: “You did say that? I find you in direct criminal contempt. Thirty days in the county jail.”<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Soto: “OK, that’s fine.”<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> That’s right: 30 days in jail. But the transcript doesn’t capture the entire series of events.</p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <p>See, the hearing started off with Soto stroking her hair, laughing, and even borderline flirting with the judge. After he sets the initial bond at $5k, she still strolls away laughing and says “adios,” which could have been a shot at Rodriguez-Chomat’s heavy Hispanic accent. Not taking kindly to that, the judge calls Soto back and then ups the bond to $10k. That’s when Soto walks away and delivers the curse word and finger gesture:</p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <p>http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/02/05/fu-you-shocked-woman-flips-off-judge-in-court-after-hearing-bond-amount-judge-responds-in-amazing-way/](https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/s480x480/531732_431956373553266_1855839555_n.jpg)
