Coakley: No Catholics in Emergency Rooms
[sic]
Ken Pittman: Right, if you are a Catholic, and believe what the Pope teaches that any form of birth control is a sin. ah you don’t want to do that.
Martha Coakley: No we have a seperation of church and state Ken, lets be clear.
Ken Pittman: In the emergency room you still have your religious freedom.
Martha Coakley: (……uh, eh…um..) The law says that people are allowed to have that. You can have religious freedom but you probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room.

Dec. Labor Report, U.S. Jobs Market, Health-Care Costs, temp labor
Jan. 8 (Bloomberg) -- David Resler, chief U.S. economist at Nomura Securities, talks with Bloomberg's Carol Massar and Matt Miller about the U.S. labor market. The U.S. unexpectedly lost 85,000 jobs in December, supporting Federal Reserve forecasts that a labor market recovery will take time and making it more likely interest rates will stay near zero for the next six months. (Source: Bloomberg)
Tyrangiel is more cautionary than Resler about the U.S. jobs market, the temporary labor force, and health-care costs.
Jan. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Bloomberg BusinessWeek editor Josh Tyrangiel talks with Betty Liu about the U.S. jobs market, the temporary labor force, health-care costs and the outlook for three-dimensional television. (Source: Bloomberg)
A Labor Department report released on Friday showed the US economy unexpectedly lost 85,000 jobs in December while the jobless rate was unchanged. However, as The Consumerist notes, the reason why the national unemployment rate hasn't gone up is because "people are giving up hope and dropping out of the labor force entirely."
The percentage of Americans taking part in the labor force is the lowest it's been since the mid-'80s, and over 900,000 people are no longer looking for work because they don't think any is available.
About 1.7 million Americans opted out of the workforce from July through December, representing a 1.1 percent drop that marks the biggest six-month decrease since 1961, the Labor Department report showed. The share of the population in the labor force last month fell to the lowest level in 24 years.
The so-called underemployment rate -- which includes part- time workers who’d prefer a full-time position and people who want work but have given up looking -- rose to 17.3 percent in December from 17.2 percent.
The number of discouraged workers, those not looking for work because they believe none is available, climbed to 929,000 last month, the most since records began in 1994.
The problem in this recession is not the unemployment rate, but the average length of time that each worker has been unemployed.
Last month, I cited another sad statistic with regards to long-term unemployment.
According to data released by the Department of Labor, long-term unemployment is soaring:
The number of Americans out of work for 27 weeks or more reached 5.9 million last month, the most on records dating from 1948. That's 18 percent more than just three months ago, when the total was just below 5 million.

Evil Google Censors to Protect Islam
Google's search engine returns common results to most queries as you type. But the "don't be evil" company appears to be censoring its results when it comes to Islam.
Type "Christianity is" into Google and you'll get a list of common searches. But the engine appears to suppress results for "Islam is."
Type a few words into the search field on Google's home page and the engine automatically returns a helpful list of popular, similar searches for the words you've typed in so far -- a convenient way to find the right information.
Enter "Christianity is" and you'll find results that, while offensive, at least indicate common discussions on the Internet. Likewise, type "Judaism is" and Google suggests other, potentially offensive searches such as "Judaism is false" and "Judaism is not a race."
But type "Islam is" into the search engine and Google's auto-results pane mysteriously vanishes, leading some to conclude that Google, whose mantra is "don't be evil," is censoring its search results.
According to Google's Web site, the query suggestions that appear as you type are drawn from from searches you've done (if you're logged in), searches done by users all over the world, sites in the search index and ads in Google's network.
The company also explains that "We try to filter out suggestions that include pornographic terms, dirty words, and hate and violence terms. If you encounter a term that should not be suggested, please let us know by posting in the Google Web Search Help Forum."
Perhaps the returned results are so inappropriate that all results have simply been turned off, an option some Internet users label 'cowardly.' After all, search for hot-button items such as "scientology is" or "Muhammad is" and the results are even more offensive.
A Google spokesman explained that the weird absence of results is just a software problem: "This is in fact a bug and we're working to fix it as quickly as we can." But the company would not respond to requests for clarification.
An intriguing corollary: Google offers search suggestions for future tense queries as well. Ask "Christianity will" and Google suggests "Christianity will end, it will disappear," and "Christianity will end." Ask the same about Islam and Google notes that "Islam will dominate the world" and "Islam will destroy Europe."

NY Fed told AIG to Withhold Swap Info from Public
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (then led by Geithner) pressed American International Group Inc. to withhold from the public the details of controversial deals that funneled billions in bailout money to Goldman Sachs and other banks.
E-mails show lawyers representing the New York Fed asked AIG to remove the information from a draft financial disclosure. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was president of the New York Fed at the time.
The deals were part of a massive rescue effort at the peak of the financial crisis.
Lawmakers and others have accused Geithner's Fed of overpaying banks, including Goldman and Deutsche Bank, to cancel deals with AIG.
The New York Fed says forcing the banks to take losses or disclosing more information could have worsened the crisis.

Founders and Contemporaries on Rationing
Senator Orrin Hatch from Utah told CNSNews.com in November 2009 that forcing people to buy health insurance cannot be justified under the Constitution’s Commerce Clause.
“But here would be the first time where our government would demand that people buy something that they may or may not want,” Hatch told CNSNews.com. “And, you know, if that’s the case, then we didn’t need a ‘Cash for Clunkers,’ all we had to do is have the federal government say you all got to buy new cars, no matter how tough it is on you. You know, they could require you to buy anything. And that isn’t America. That’s not freedom. That’s not constitutionally sound. Now, there may be some gimmicky way that they can do this, but I can’t think of a gimmicky way that would be constitutionally justified.”
On the other hand, White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs stated in November 2009 that he does not know if White House lawyers have reviewed whether it is constitutional for the federal government to order individuals to buy health insurance. On Wednesday, the White House responded to 13 State Attorney Generals: No 'Legitimate Constitutional Concerns' in Senate Health Care Bill.
Nancy Pelosi was asked if health care is covered in the Constitution. She responded: "Are you serious?"
Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) said that she would leave it to "constitutional lawyers" to explain where Congress gets the constitutional power to require that Americans buy health insurance from the Federal government.
There is a summary of the issue considering the Founding Fathers on health care as well.

Kurt Haskell on the Latest Muslim Terrorist
The Muslim who was arrested on Christmas day was attempting to detonate a bomb; the bomb consisted of a device containing Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate (PETN), Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP) and other ingredients. And, the Haskell's are helpful enough to publish a blog describing their experience with the terrorists (plural) during the incident. The FBI report of the incident has changed numerous times, but has not confirmed the detention of a second individual. According to the Haskell's the bomber had an accomplice and they maintained this point consistently.
Another passenger, Daniel Huisinga, supports the basic claims by the Haskell's.
A third passenger on the flight, interviewed with the Haskell's on CNN, confirms the details of their account; in addition, a man with a camcorder apparently taped the entire incident.

Muslim Seeks to Silence Free Expression of Cartoonist
Man 'Tries To Kill Mohammed Cartoonist'
9:14am UK, Saturday January 02, 2010
Rob Cole, Sky News Online
Danish police say they have shot a Somali man with links to al Qaeda who broke into the home of a cartoonist whose depictions of the Prophet Mohammed outraged many Muslims.
Police say the 28-year-old - who was armed with a knife and axe - was trying to kill Kurt Westergaard.
The intruder was linked to Somali terror organisation al Shabaab and al Qaeda leaders in east Africa, the Danish Security and Intelligence Service PET said in a statement.
He was shot twice and will be charged with two counts of attempted murder after also attacking a policeman.
Mr Westergaard said he pressed a panic button and fled to the safe room in his Aarhus home with his five-year-old granddaughter.
"I locked myself in our safe room," Mr Westergaard, 74, told the Danish news agency Ritzau.
"He tried to smash the entrance door with an axe.
"He used insults, I don't remember which, but it was bad language. He spoke poor Danish and he wound up saying he'd be back." I locked myself in our safe room. He tried to smash the entrance door with an axe.
Kurt Westergaard on the attack at his home
"My grandchild did fine," Mr Westergaard told the newspaper Jyllands-Posten.
"It was scary. It was close. Really close. But we did it."
Mr Westergaard's home is protected by tight security, including a panic line to local police, and is subject to regular patrols by officers.
Chief Supt Morten Jensen, from East Jutland police, said: "A personal alarm was received from Mr Westergaard's house."
Officers found the man "armed with an axe and a knife in either hand".
The security service said the intruder had been involved in a "terror-related network" that had been under investigation in connection with threats to Westergaard.
"PET looks very seriously upon this case which once again confirms the terror threat directed against Denmark and the cartoonist Kurt Westergaard in particular," PET chief Jakob Scharf said in the statement.
"He broke a window of Mr Westergarrd's house. He tried to attack one officer with an axe and he was shot in his right leg and his left arm," Chief Supt Jenson said.
"He's not seriously injured, he's in custody."

Westergaard hid in a safe room
Denmark's Ritzau news agency said police sappers were sent in to the home to look for a bomb that might have been laid.
The Danish cartoonist caused fury in the Islamic world in 2005 after the newspaper published his drawings of Mohammed wearing a turban in the shape of a bomb.
There were violent protests in many Islamic countries that led to dozens of deaths in Nigeria, Libya and Pakistan.
Demonstrators burned Danish flags in protests that culminated in February 2006 with the torching of Danish diplomatic offices in Damascus and Beirut.
Mr Westergaard received several death threats.
Two Chicago men were charged last October with terror offences related to an alleged plot to kill Mr Westergaard and the newspaper's former cultural editor.
Most Muslims consider any depiction of the founder of Islam as offensive.

Obama Amongst the Top Ten: Most Corrupt Politicians (Judicial Watch)
According to the non-partisan watch group:
During his presidential campaign, President Obama promised to run an ethical and transparent administration. However, in his first year in office, the President has delivered corruption and secrecy, bringing Chicago-style political corruption to the White House. Consider just a few Obama administration "lowlights" from year one: Even before President Obama was sworn into office, he was interviewed by the FBI for a criminal investigation of former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's scheme to sell the President's former Senate seat to the highest bidder. (Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and slumlord Valerie Jarrett, both from Chicago, are also tangled up in the Blagojevich scandal.) Moreover, the Obama administration made the startling claim that the Privacy Act does not apply to the White House. The Obama White House believes it can violate the privacy rights of American citizens without any legal consequences or accountability. President Obama boldly proclaimed that "transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency," but his administration is addicted to secrecy, stonewalling far too many of Judicial Watch's Freedom of Information Act requests and is refusing to make public White House visitor logs as federal law requires. The Obama administration turned the National Endowment of the Arts (as well as the agency that runs the AmeriCorps program) into propaganda machines, using tax dollars to persuade "artists" to promote the Obama agenda. According to documents uncovered by Judicial Watch, the idea emerged as a direct result of the Obama campaign and enjoyed White House approval and participation. President Obama has installed a record number of "czars" in positions of power. Too many of these individuals are leftist radicals who answer to no one but the president. And too many of the czars are not subject to Senate confirmation (which raises serious constitutional questions). Under the President's bailout schemes, the federal government continues to appropriate or control -- through fiat and threats -- large sectors of the private economy, prompting conservative columnist George Will to write: "The administration's central activity -- the political allocation of wealth and opportunity -- is not merely susceptible to corruption, it is corruption." Government-run healthcare and car companies, White House coercion, uninvestigated ACORN corruption, debasing his office to help Chicago cronies, attacks on conservative media and the private sector, unprecedented and dangerous new rights for terrorists, perks for campaign donors – this is Obama's "ethics" record -- and we haven't even gotten through the first year of his presidency.

Fractional Reserve Banking
Factional reserve banks imitate up to 10 times the amount of money that they actually have deposited, and charge interest on it all. Since money represents labor, fractional reserve bankers are effectively robbing the value of everyone's labor through this scheme.

Islamic Background of Latest Bomber
Waleed Basyouni is the vice president of the AlMaghrib (ahl-MAHG'-rihb) Institute. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (OO'-mahr fah-ROOK' ahb-DOOL'-moo-TAH'-lahb) registered online in April 2008, then attended a two-week program hosted by the institute in Houston in August 2008.
He says school records show Abdulmutallab identified himself as a 21-year-old Nigerian student at University College London and the London School of Economics who was studying mechanical engineering and business finance.
The Islamic academy in Houston features an instructor Suhaib Webb, an Oklahoma born person who converted to Islam, and studied at the Egyptian Al-Azhar University praised by Obama in his Cairo speech as a paragon of Islamic thinking. Webb is close with Siraj Wahhaj, the unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 Al-Qaeda World Trade Center bombing, and has given Wahaj a testimonial for fundraising purposes.
The MI5 told US about Detroit bomber's terror links 'a year ago'.
Two Approaches to Christmas and Economic Difficulties
Obama on 22 December during his visit to the Boys and Girls Club in Washington, D.C., during which he had a free exchange (non-teleprompter) discussion with the children about Christmas. All seemed to be going fine until Obama read "The Polar Express" and led a discussion on what the kids wanted from Santa, when a few children brought up the real reason for the season.
Here's the actual transcript (with a bit of commentary):
President: I think one thing that's important to remember is that, even though there's a lot of fun at Christmas, you know, you got – especially when it's snowy like this, so it's pretty outside, you got the Christmas tree, you got the Christmas cookies, you've got presents. You know, I think that the most important thing is just to remember why we celebrate Christmas.
Child: I know!
President: Do you know?
Child: The birth of baby Jesus.
President: The birth of baby Jesus, and what he symbolizes for people all around the world is the possibility of peace and people treating each other with respect. And so I just hope that spirit of giving that's so important at Christmas, I hope all of you guys remember that as well. ...
President: You know, it's not just about getting gifts but it's also doing something for other people. So being nice to your mom and dad and grandma and aunties and showing respect to people – that's really important, too. That's part of the Christmas spirit, don't you think? Do you agree with me?
Children: Yes.
President: You do? (Then another child raises his hand, so the president leans over and asks him) Do you have an interesting observation?
Child: I know why we give gifts to other people.
President: Why is that?
Child: Because the three wise men gave gifts to Baby Jesus.
President: That's exactly right. But the three wise men – the reason (A sign falls off a wall. Is it a sign from God? What timing!) – uh-oh, I thought that was the cookies going down. We couldn't have that. You know, the three wise men, if you think about it, here are these guys, they have all this money, they've got all this wealth and power, and yet they took a long trip to a manger just to see a little baby. And it just shows you that just because you're powerful or you're wealthy, that's not what's important. What's important is what's – the kind of spirit you have.
(Matthew 2:11: "And they bowed down and worshiped him" as the Savior of the world.)
So I hope everybody has a spirit of kindness and thoughtfulness, and everybody is really thinking about how can they do for other people – treating them well, because that's really the spirit of Christmas. Does everybody agree with that?
Children: Yes!
President: I agree with that. Well, you guys all seem like really sharp, sharp young people. And I'm very proud of you. And let me just ask you one last question. Is everybody here working pretty hard in school?
Children: Yes!
President: OK, because the thing that I want everybody to remember, the most important message I can leave is, is that you guys have so much potential – one of you could end up being president some day. But it's only going to happen if you stay focused and you work hard in school. And you guys – there's nothing wrong with having fun and fooling around and playing sports and listening to rap music and all that stuff. But I want you guys to read and hit the books and do your math, because that's really what's going to determine how you do in the future. Alright? That's the most important thing you can do.
(The most important message is personal potential. And the "most important thing" children can do for their future is read and do math.)
President John Adams put it well when he said, "We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
As Benjamin Rush, also a signer of the Declaration of Independence, explained, "Without religion, I believe that learning does real mischief to the morals and principles of mankind."
To the founders, religion was an essential buttress of free government. That is why Patrick Henry wrote, "The greatest pillars of all government and of social life: I mean virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone, that renders us invincible."
Charles Carroll of Carollton, a Catholic who signed the Declaration of Independence on behalf of Maryland, wrote, "Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion whose morality is so sublime and pure … are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments."
George Washington put it best in his Farewell Address: "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation deserts the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."
As Founding Father Elias Boudinot once said: "If the moral character of a people once degenerate, their political character must soon follow."
On the other hand, after his first year, Reagan had words about Jesus in his Christmas address to America:
The shortest Christmas address ever:
Khalid al-Mansour, advisor to Saudis, paid for Obama's education
Lawyer and politician Percy Sutton died at 89, and the major media are omitting mention of one of his most notable acts. The former Borough President of Manhattan, Sutton had a long and distinguished career as a lawyer (he was Malcolm X's attorney) and media mogul, who purchased radio stations in New York and other cities, making them into high rated black-oriented outlets. He also purchased and renovated (thereby saving from the wrecking ball) New York's legendary Apollo Theatre in Harlem.
However, one of Sutton's most notable moments is absent from the media hagiographies I have seen: he stated on television that he knew that an Islamic supremacist, Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, and advisor to a wealthy Saudi, had paid for Barack Obama's education at Harvard Law School.
Who Is Protecting the Americans?
Kirk Lippold, retired Commander of the USS Cole and David Katz CEO of Global Security Group were interviewed on the Glenn Beck Show on Fox, December 30, 2009. Kirk Lippold has been warning about closing Gitmo and threats from Yemen all year.
Some of the issues Commander Lippold addressed directly and succinctly:
* Keep Guantanamo open.
* Military commissions process works.
* Not criminal actions. Terrorists are enemy combatants.
* This is a war on terror.
* Quit making the CIA the whipping boy of this administration.
