Biden: The 'affirmative task' before us is to 'create a new world order'

It is in `our interest that China prospers?' Huh? I think he hit his head when he fell off the turnip truck.

Biden calls for the creation of a "new world order" at the Export Import Bank conference in Washington on April 5, 2013. He also said the U.S. jobs figures for March are "disappointing."

15 year old girl leaves anti-gun politicians speechless

“I’m 15-years-old and I’ve been shooting for almost eight years. I’ve also been part of the Maryland Rifle Club and Maryland State Rifle Team,” she began. “Because of this I have become eligible for various shooting scholarships around the country to a wide array of even the most prestigious colleges that have shooting teams.”

“Achieving stricter gun control laws would obliterate any opportunity I could have had to attend a decent college on a shooting scholarship,” she added.

She went on to say that it became immediately clear when she began shooting that guns are not the problem, people are.

“Chicago, Illinois has had some of the strictest gun control laws in America enacted in the last few years and it is currently more as twice as likely for you to be killed in Chicago than in the Afghani war,” the 15-year-old said.

She pointed out that of the 3,371 have been killed in Chicago in the past 11 years. Of that total, only 37 were killed with a rifle — barely 1 percent.

“So creating gun control legislation that targets ‘assault rifles’ has statistically proven to only weed out less than 1 percent of the problem if you’re lucky,” she added.

Muslims Complain About U.S. Disabled Veteran, "Infidel" Leaves

The definition of the tattoo is "Kafir (Arabic: كافر‎ kāfir, plural كفّار kuffār) which is an Arabic term used in an Islamic doctrinal sense, usually translated as "unbeliever," "disbeliever," or "infidel." The term refers to a person who rejects God or who hides, denies, or covers the "truth."

Muslim soldiers from Qatar are being trained at a Florida airfield and they demanded that the U.S. veteran cover up his expression of free speech.

The veteran explains what happened.

Once they did so I was called to the back office and asked to cover it up by the OWNER. Not that I would, but its 80 something degrees here today, and that would be an unreasonable request. After I told her that I had no pants to cover it up she told me that she has DUCT TAPE that I can use to cover it. I told the lady that I was not going to cover it up, as it was nothing more than a tattoo saying "I am not a Muslim". After beating around the bush for a few minutes entertaining me while I was trying to convince her otherwise, she asked me to leave.

Some may object to this mistreatment and call them to change their policy: Florida Skydiving Center: (863) 678-1003.

I am a disabled combat veteran. I served in Iraq and worked in Afghanistan. I took an IED because my country asked me too, and I was injured by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. I have a Purple Heart and an ARCOM with Valor. I fully expect to be treated differently when I am visiting another country - when I am in America I expect equality and toleration; but what I experienced today is something that I never would have thought I'd have to go through in my own country. The country I fought for!

I am a skydiver with around 300 jumps under my belt. I've done jumps from 30,000 feet, helicopters, hot air balloons, wingsuit skydives and so forth. So with that being said I travel around doing this sport quite a bit. Today was my second time at a dropzone called "Florida Skydiving Center / Skydive Lake Wales".

Bill Whittle: On Immigration

1969, Steppenwolf, "Monster"

Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of Kingdom and pope

Like good Christians some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands, to court the wild
But she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon it went
And till the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end

While we bullied, stole and bought a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
But she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

The Blue and Grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war was over
They stuffed it just like a hog

And though the past has its share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But its protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey

The spirit was freedom and justice
And its keepers seemed generous and kind
Its leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
Now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told

Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watchin'

The cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole world's got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner we can't pay the cost

'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watchin'

America, where are you now
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster

America, where are you now
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster

America...America...America...America...

Obama: “I am constrained by a system our founders put in place.”

Obma says he won’t take guns away because he is constrained. In other words, if he weren’t constrained, then he would take them away which also means that he will do everything that he can to get around it. Meanwhile, in the city where more young kids are killed and existing federal gun laws are not enforced more kids die.

Obama: "constrained."

COMMON CORE LESSONS

One lesson plan featured a video dubbed, ”China Rises,” that appears to tout the virtues of Communism over capitalism.

The soundtrack intones:

As you might guess, China has one of the most productive economies in the world, and it has been growing at a rapid pace in recent decades. This growth has brought great wealth to Chinese entrepreneurs and businesses and improved standards of living for millions of people.

There is no mention of exploiting workers.

Other misgivings have been expressed about a religious studies lesson which Islam over Christianity.

Other parents are most concerned about data mining which school are implementing a program called “StudentGPS dashboards.” This will track students and identify students learning problems, all well enough in itself, however a bit unnerving since data about children will be stored with little parental oversight of where and who has access to the data.

Other content seems designed to undermine parental authority. Adults are just too stupid to get anything right. I assume the intent is to drive a wedge between parent and child.

The excerpts ask why children are not permitted to vote, especially when they understand “global warming and war” and know that adults have only made the world’s problems worse.

James Madison on the "general welfare" Clause

The "general welfare" clause (p. 136), the statement most often cited by progressive interference in education (not to mention sundry areas) does not apply to extending federal authority. The "general welfare clause precedes the list of enumerated powers in Article I, Section 8, Madison makes it clear in Federalist no. 41 that the general welfare is composed only of those specific powers identified after the clause: `For what purpose could the enumeration of particular powers be inserted, if these and all others were meant to be included in the preceding general power?' Madison asks, `Nothing is more natural nor common than first to use a general phrase, and then to explain and qualify it by a recital of particulars.' The general welfare clause explains why the federal government has been given enumerated powers, but does not itself confer any power."
