RUSH LIMBAUGH DISGRACES THE WHOLE REPUBLICAN PARTY By John Gabriel - Award Winning Writer
He has long been known as a big mouth that goes on the air to make noise. He has a history of calling people names and insulting those he does not like or perhaps who the Republican Party leaders fear. In the past he has worked his fat jowls in criticism of anything that even appears to be humane and was especially vocal concerning drugs, drug sales, drug use, and drug laws. He has been as hypocritical as hypocritical can be; he was arrested March 9, 2009 after it was alleged that he was addicted to drugs, Oxy Contin in particular. After having lashed out with his big mouth in condemnation of those who use drugs he himself admitted to being addicted to Oxy Contin. Limbaugh told the public, "Over the past several years I have tried to break my dependence on pain pills and, in fact, twice checked myself into medical facilities in an attempt to do so," Limbaugh said at the time. "I have recently agreed with my physician about the next steps." Limbaugh confessed to having used the drugs since 2003. But in true hypocritical Limbaugh fashion he loudly condemned those who abuse drugs while concealing the fact that he was himself addicted to drugs. At that time his loudness said, "Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. ... And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up," Limbaugh made the declarations on his short-lived television show on Oct. 5, 1995. He has long been a strong voice for the crud that have been actively hijacking the Republican Party. Limbaugh seems to believe that Republicans are unable to reason, to make sound choices. and so they need to do as people such as the infamous Koch brothers of Kansas dictate. While he claims to be law and order, family oriented, and conservative, he is little more than a front man for super rich people like the Koch brothers who making a concerted effort to own the United States Congress. Now Mr. Big Mouth has condemned a Georgetown University student who testified before Congress concerning birth control. Limbaugh called her a slut and a prostitute in a tirade on his daily radio broadcast. Limbaugh is successfully causing serious rifts among Republicans who have good sense and genuine loyalty to their country. His wild accusations and name calling are no longer falling on totally acquiescent ears. Many Republicans are no longer willing to allow him to speak for them or to influence their decisions – they are beginning to think for themselves rather than allow Limbaugh and the likes of him to lead them by the nose.
That is fortunate for those who honestly support Republican ideals but it is not what the super wealthy want to happen. They expect to buy all the votes in Congress with their money and thereby eliminate personal freedom once and for all in the United States. What is more shameful is the fact that Republican leaders have shied
Georgetown U. Student Sandra Fluke away from denouncing. John Boehner, Speaker of the House, timidly said Limbaugh’s calling Fluke a slut and a whore was inappropriate. These people, elected by generally decent Americans are speaking for you when they condone the language Rush Limbaugh used to belittle Sandra Fluke because he does not agree with what she had to say before Congressional representatives. These are supposed to be strong leaders but they are proving to be weak-kneed cowards who are afraid of Limbaugh, afraid to offend their powerful guru lest he say something nasty about them. Republicans had better wake up and put an end to this domination of their party by despicable unprincipled officials. None of the Republican presidential candidates have spoken out against the Limbaugh attack on an innocent young woman. That says a great deal of what those candidates think of women. They prefer a fat loudmouth vile character to a decent young college woman. Any self-respecting woman who casts a vote for a Republican in any pending election ought to think back to the struggles of Woman’s Suffrage before they hop on the Limbaugh anti-woman wagon.

THIS IS UN-AMERICAN! CONSERVATIVES PLEDGE THEY WILL NOT PUT PEOPLE TO WORK By: Mark Goodson
http://youtu.be/gqvrMbRnOwE
SABATEUR? TERRORIST? PUBLIC ENEMY? Most voters, Republicans and Democrats, are aware of how radical the Tea Party Nation is. Few would have suspected they would intentionally do something to do terrible harm to our country. Almost daily we hear of terrorists with extreme Islamic views now there is a new type terrorist, one bred on our own soil that is attempting to find support among businesses to destroy the American economy and to halt America’s economic recovery; to keep Americans out of work. If you are a person or family who relies upon a job for an income you ought to be outraged when you hear this message from these radical conservatives who are willing to destroy the United States. Anything goes to impose their twisted beliefs on the masses.
By: John Gabriel Award Winning Writer
It is amazing the Justice Department has not begun to investigate this very stupid woman, a Tea Party Nation activist, for treason. She is actively engaging in an effort to sabotage the American economy by organizing an effort to create more unemployment in America. During World War Two we had Nazi saboteurs and the FBI hunted them down, now we are seeing a new breed of saboteur born and bred in the United States of America. It is unimaginable that any patriotic American would dare to cast a vote for anyone who believes in putting working Americans out of work or in keeping the unemployed from finding work. Yet, here she is a Republican activist asking small business owners to sign a pledge that they will not hire any new employees, that they will keep people out of work.

Anyone who has listened to Rush Limbaugh even once knows he has no problem with distorting the truth or insulting people. Character assassination is his trademark. If you were to accuse Limbaugh of being a hater second only to Satan himself few people would disagree with you even those who are so dense as to agree with his hateful comments. In case you are not convinced that he is a vile, vitriolic person with an agenda of creating hatred among Americans watch the video. In fact go to You Tube and watch several videos of the radio episode in which he attacks a woman for no reason whatever, accusing her of being a “slut” and a “prostitute”. Limbaugh does not know that young woman and he did not know her when he viciously attacked her on the national airwaves. The lady, Sandra Fluke, was guilty of testifying before members of Congress as to why it is important for women to have access to birth control pills. She cited medical reasons other than for preventing conception. But the hater who pretends to defend the Constitution and loves to run his mouth about being a good American spewed hate from his lips because he was upset over her exercise of her free speech rights and her rights to redress of grievances before her government. The phony who likes to preach democracy while fostering a dictatorial fashion government showed the Satanist side of himself when he went on the attack. To watch the video is to watch a human possessed.
Watch this video and if you still think Rush Limbaugh is a “great guy” if you still maintain that he is a “good Republican” you are dumber than he is. He is a vicious, mean-spirited, evil minded person who thankfully will find his way to Hell one day where he belongs with all the other haters in the world. Curiously, what will he say when he meets Hitler and the other haters?

http://youtu.be/iFJBXfXJ_18 The claim of some people that the world will end on December 21, 2012 has gained momentum as the calendar moves closer to that specific date. The main problem with that claim is that even is the Mayan calendar predictions are accurate the interpretations of what that calculation states are wrong. The actual prediction does not relate to the end of the world, it does not foretell any catastrophic event, or any endangerment of the earth or the people. The documentary by Rod Serling, Outer Space Connection, relies on messages carved by the Mayans that predict the return of space visitors on that date. Serling presents what he believes is evidence across the globe that earth has been visited by beings from beyond the earth for thousands of years. He provides pictures and ancient writings that he says are proof positive that the past generations of earth, thousands of years ago may have gained knowledge from space visitors. He points to the fact that the knowledge possessed by ancient civilizations on earth was far beyond what they could have developed on their own.
craft that surely appear to depict flying airplanes or other similar aircraft. That they could even imagine how an airplane my look is, according to Serling, simply too farfetched to be pure guess work. Unexplainable evidence to support his theories is strong. There is the unexplained capabilities of the the Egyptians to move tremendous blocks of stone into place when building the pyramids. He argues they had neither the machinery nor the knowledge to create those structures. Furthermore, the information they possessed concerning the universe was far beyond what there is evidence that they might have known at the time. Some point to the depictions of planets by ancient civilizations that could not be viewed without sophisticated telescopes. Somehow they were able accurately draw them and to place them in incredibly accurate orbits when it was impossible for them to have had any knowledge of their existence. So is Serling correct? Actually no one can say with assurance that he is wrong, after all, he has provided very sound, inexplicable support for his contentions. Evidence that ancient civilizations were able to precisely chart the universe, draw flying aircraft and other vehicles, and depict men wearing what seemingly portrays men in spacesuits, does seem to support such theories. If Serling and other proponents of similar conjecture are correct it would certainly require the rewriting of much history and assumptions that have been made concerning man’s development of science. One good note is, if the Mayan calendar is correct and the writings accurately predict the return of some beings from outside the earth then it seems such creatures need not be feared for in the past they apparently did no harm to mankind but only assisted him in adding to his knowledge of science and mathematics.

When Starting A Business, Remember That Time Is Money This challenging economy and stagnant job market have left plenty of qualified and capable Americans without work. And when qualified and capable people suddenly have time on their hands, many of them will think about starting their own business. Almost everyone knows that you need a business plan, but one of the most difficult questions to answer when developing that business plan is how much start-up costs will be. There are so many factors to consider, including business licenses and incorporation fees, patents and trademarks, business insurance, leases for an office or production facilities, and many more. So many, in fact, that it is almost impossible to accurately calculate business start-up costs. Even adding a new location to an existing business can produce wildly different start-up costs when compared to the original startup experience. So is it useless to plan? Not exactly, says Theodore Bolema, a professor at South University's Novi, Mich. campus and director of the business program. Bolema, who holds a Ph.D. in business as well as a law degree, says planning is important - but so is being realistic about the accuracy of your forecast. "A decent rule of thumb is to figure out what you think your costs will be. Then double it," Bolema says. There is a good reason that it is nearly impossible to accurately predict these costs, according to Bolema. "Determining fees, equipment purchases, inventory and the like is relatively easy for most businesses. What's much more difficult is knowing what your cost of time will be." The "cost of time" is an important concept for all businesses, but especially for start-ups. If a business is obligated to pay an office lease or employee salaries while it is not yet able to do business - or a regulatory agency is holding up its ability to do business - then start-up costs will add up quickly.
And don't expect government agencies to operate with your costs in mind. Even the best-run agency will not move with the same urgency you would like, Bolema says. After all, it may be your lifelong dream and your life's savings at risk, but to them, you are just another file folder stacked on the desk.
So while you are waiting for an agency to act, or a supplier to supply, or an advertising firm to get that mailer in your customers' mailboxes, you'll be paying building leases, business loan payments, utility bills, payroll and all the rest all without any revenue to offset those expenses. It can be frustrating, but it certainly will be less frustrating if you build a business plan realistically and raise capital accordingly. "It's better to tie up capital in a cash reserve than to have an inadequately funded business plan," says Bolema. As in life, there is plenty of uncertainty in business. So hope for the best and plan sensibly, including how long things will take, not just how much they will cost.

Making a pot of coffee takes extra work - grinding beans, measuring grinds and water, brewing and eventually cleaning the pot - and there's often extra coffee that goes to waste. Automatic, single serve coffee machines make it easy to enjoy a fresh cup of coffee, tea or other warm beverage with very little effort. * Even in the bathroom, gadgets such as electronic toothbrushes and razors make grooming simple and efficient. Earlier this year, Delta Faucet launched Touch2O.xt Technology on bathroom faucets, which enables you to activate the flow of water with a simple tap anywhere on the spout or handle. The technology also features a sensing field around the entire faucet for entirely hands-free activation. The hands-free mode makes it easier to conserve water during quick tasks, such as brushing your teeth or washing your hands, because the faucet will automatically shut off when hands are removed from the sensing field. "Our research and development team conducts extensive research during product development, examining ways in which people interact with their faucets," says Ali McKinney, product manager at Delta Faucet. "This technology provides a cleaner, more efficient way to work with water."

(ARA) - Kids love video games they're exciting, fun and engrossing. While games can promote learning and growth, too much video gaming - or playing inappropriate games - can lead to negative consequences. What should parents know to make good game choices for their children?
Ola Gardner, a faculty member in Game Art & Design at The Art Institute of Atlanta, offers these tips when selecting games for kids: * Become familiar with the Entertainment Software Ratings Board. These ratings are designed to help potential players understand the game's content and offer guidance on which games are appropriate for different ages. * Explore www.familyfriendlyvideogames.com. This site provides a report card on games, with detailed descriptions of game content, technical performance and kid friendliness.
Game on! s e m a g t a Wh s d i k d l u o h s play?
* Understand the types of games on the market: edutainment (educational games focusing on teaching the player), role playing games (that offer deep story and character development), action games (that train and enhance hand-eye coordination), simulation games (building vehicles such as planes or cars) and strategy games. * Use online reviews, ask other parents, ask the staff at your local store - and play games with your kids. It's also important for parents to understand the different game platforms. "Generally Nintendo (Wii and the portable 3DS system as well) is a very kid-friendly platform to purchase for younger children. The Sony PlayStation3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360 have kid-friendly games to play as well, though parents need to exercise caution as some of the games released are for adults only," says Nick Viola, a Game Art & Design faculty member at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. "The Wii and the Xbox 360 Kinect encourage families to play together and get the players off the sofa." Whatever the game and whatever the platform, video games for kids like those for any age - need to be engaging. "The interactivity of these games seems to be the crucial factor that engages kids of all ages. Exciting visuals and action are also key," says David March, a Media Arts & Animation faculty member at The Art Institute of Virginia Beach, a branch of The Art Institute of Atlanta. And what children's video games do these experts like best? "My favorite kids' games are the Ratchet and Clank series and the Super Mario franchise," says Gardner. Super Mario Brothers is a favorite of Viola's as well. "Its bright bold colors, simplistic playing mechanics and iconic sound effects will always draw my attention," he says. For March, favorites include "the side-scrollers like Prince of Persia - things with lots of lush graphics. And I'm a total sucker for almost any game involving flying an aircraft." Bottom line? Video games are here to stay. And when appropriately used, they can provide an opportunity for families to play together as well as for kids to learn and grow.

A colonoscopy can be a lifesaver: simple tips to lower your risk of colon cancer
Courtesy of AR Acontent
(ARA) - Every year, colon cancer takes the lives of tens of thousands of mothers, fathers, husbands, wives and friends, despite the fact that with an early screening, these deaths are highly preventable.
It is estimated that more than 30,000 lives could be saved each year if all Americans were screened for colon cancer. "While the idea of having a colonoscopy may not be appealing to everyone, a colonoscopy can be a lifesaver," says Andrew Spiegel, Chief Executive Officer of the Colon Cancer Alliance. "The impact of the consequences of not having one can be devastating to those most important to you. Whether you do it for yourself or for the ones you love, schedule a colonoscopy today." The goal of the partnership is to increase awareness of colon cancer which, if found early enough, is one of the most treatable forms of cancer. Another goal of the partnership is to encourage early screenings which can truly be lifesavers. A portion of proceeds from the purchase of Dulcolax (R) products supports CCA community screening programs. About colon cancer Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States and affects men and women equally. If diagnosed early, colon cancer is highly preventable, which is
This March during National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, the Colon Cancer Alliance (CCA) and makers of Dulcolax (R) are urging people to make an appointment with their doctors and schedule a colon cancer screening.
why screenings are a vital part of a healthy lifestyle. The majority of new cases occur in people ages 50 and older, yet about a third of Americans these ages have not been screened for the disease. Colon cancer often shows no signs or symptoms, which is why getting a colonoscopy screening or talking to a loved one about getting screened can be a lifesaver against this highly preventable cancer. Men and women over the age of 50 are being encouraged to take action and talk to their doctor to schedule their colonoscopy. Additionally, people with a family history of the disease or those who present other risk factors should get screened earlier. Tips to lower your risk Although there are some risk factors that cannot be controlled (like age and family history), a recent study found that about one-quarter of colon cancer cases could be avoided by following a healthy lifestyle. In addition to regular screenings, here are some things you can do to help lower your risk: *Diet: Limit consumption of red and processed meats, eat a variety of
vegetables and fruits, and choose whole grains in preference to processed grains. Additionally, consumption of milk and calcium probably decreases the risk of developing colon cancer. *Physical activity: High levels of physical activity decrease the risk of colon cancer among men and women by possibly as much as 50 percent. The more physical activity in which people engage, the lower their risk of colon cancer. *Weight: Being overweight or obese is associated with a higher risk of colon cancer, independent of physical activity. Maintain a healthy weight throughout life. *Smoking: There is now sufficient evidence to conclude that tobacco smoking causes colon cancer.*Alcohol: Individuals who have a lifetime average of 2 to 4 alcoholic drinks per day have a 23 percent higher risk of colon cancer than those who consume less than one drink per day. To learn more about colon cancer and the importance of getting screened, visit www.ccalliance.org/Dulcolax and www.DulcolaxUSA.com.

Preliminary investigative details revealed that a black 2004 Chevy Tahoe struck a tree, entrapping the driver on the exit ramp to Sibley Boulevard.

ISP Trooper Jacqueline Del Villar was the first officer to arrive when she spotted the burning vehicle and onlookers waving her down.

Voting Is Not Rooting For A Football TeamAmerica Maybe you think it’s cute to call yourself a Republican. Perhaps you don’t really believe the garbage being preached by the Tea Party but somehow its seems fashionable to support the super-wealthy while condemning the working class in America. Your stupidity, your dumbness is about to put an end to American Democracy! Your Republican gurus sitting in the Supreme Court have opened the doors for the demise of personal liberty in the United States. In a recent Roberts Supreme Court decision the conservatives paved the way for corporations to pour unlimited amounts of money into political campaigns and to do so in secrecy. Now it will be possible for the wealthy such as the money worshipping Koch brothers to pour vast amounts of money into any political campaign to make certain the outcome is as they choose. From now on the super rich will be in a position
to choose the candidates, to influence your opinions of the candidates by inundating you with information, true or false, about a candidate that will influence how you vote. The ordinary citizen who chooses to run for office will no longer have a level playing field on which to campaign because there will be no way for him or her to collect enough contributions from the working class to compete with anyone who is running with the support of a corporate candidate. When a candidate is elected he will be bought and paid for by the corporations, thanks to the John Roberts Supreme Court, President Bush’s handpicked destroyer of law. That corporate owned candidate will be compelled to cast every vote exactly as his corporate owners tell him to vote. You will no longer have a say in the Congress or presidency of the United States of America. You, Mr. and Mrs. Republican can proudly pat yourself on the back and say you were able to do what Kaiser Wilhelm II, Adolph Hitler, Hirohito,
and Joseph Stalin could not do, destroy American democracy. Yes, you can proudly say that while you thought you were being a supporter of the Constitution you allowed an enemy stronger than any army to secretly subvert American freedoms and personal liberties. When American workers can no longer negotiate how much they want to be paid for their labor, when young women are forced to bear bastards that are the result of rapes or incest, when there are only two classes of people in the United States, the superwealthy and the poor, congratulate yourself because it will have been your Republican vote that created it. Why? Because those same money interests have bought the Republican Party will have bought the sole right to pick and to choose who runs the country. You can then thank your fellow Republicans who have been blinded by these super rich money worshippers for destroying the greatest nation on earth. You have been duped!!!
