ACLU(eless) Tim Nelson Spends $20,000 To Identify Bloggers

Tim Nelson is fighting back against bloggers who have gone after his record of leniency and ineptitude.  He has reportedly spent $20,000 on an investigation to identify blog posters on local blogs.  In particular interest is "Pat" on Sonoran Alliance.  You'd think he'd have more important things to do than go after bloggers.

In any case, "Pat" has agreed to reveal him, um, herself here, in a Lighthouse Blog exclusive:

"Why are you cancelling, sir?" "Because of Obama!"

I just took another call from a vendor wanting to renew a subscription.  He was offering me a pretty good deal but I told him I couldn't take it.  He asked why, and I told him it was because of Obama.  And that's a true statement.

If Senator Obama wins the presidency on Tuesday, all of America will suffer the economic turmoil his policies will bring.  With his tax increases, government fee increases, mandortory programs detrimental to business, and less competition in the market place, consumers will have fewer dollars to pay for goods and services.  I'm just preparing ahead of time.

So, if you find yourself cancelling subscriptions, spending less at stores, cooking more at home - all policies that will effect businesses - make sure you tell businesses WHY you are doing so...because you're preparing for Obama.  That way business owners will understand what and who is having an impact on their businesses.

Of course, if McCain wins, I'll continue spending as before.

"Senator Obama talks about health care, but if you were me, you'd vote for McCain..."

 

"Where were you when I needed health care Senator Obama?" 

It's too late for me, but not millions of others.  They all depend on your vote." 

Is AZ Corporation Commissioner Bill Mundell trying to censor blogs?

We are working on our own investigation with several sources.  In the mean time, read story at Liberty's Apothecary.

"The Economy is not the most important issue to me..."

  "The economy is not the most important issue to me.  I'm sorry about your 401k and the economy, perhaps even your job, but at least you have a chance to live.  Please, help those of us who Obama will exterminate.  We have no other voice than you."

BAR STOOL ECONOMICS

I received the below in an email, and it explains our tax system perfectly, so I thought I'd share it.  If you think it's bad now, it will only get much worse with Obama as president.

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100.

If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: 
 
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.        
 
The fifth would pay $1.        
 
The sixth would pay $3.        
 
The seventh would pay $7.        
 
The eighth would pay $12.        
 
The ninth would pay $18.        
 
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.          
 
So, that's what they decided to do.
 
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. Since you are all such good customers, he said, I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20. 
 
Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.         
 
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free.  But what about the other six men - the paying customers?  How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?' They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.        
 
And so:        
 
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).        
 
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).        
 
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).        
 
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).        
 
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).        
 
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).         
 
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.  "I only got a dollar out of the $20," declared the sixth man.  He pointed to the tenth man, "but he got $10!" "Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man.  "I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!" "That's true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!"
 
"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!" The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.         
 
The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!  (The 10th man was originally paying $59 of $100, then $49 of $80).         
 
And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

CQ Responds to Allegations of Treachery

Regarding allegations that he is working for pro-abortion Democrats, CQ responds:

Keeper,

Please rest assured that my client roster contains the usual conservative Republicans that it always has.  I have never met Lisa Black and I wouldn’t recognize her if I were to meet her.  I have no idea where the rumor came from or, more remarkably, how the folks over at Political Mafioso’s website claimed to be able to certify it as 100% true.  Then again, since we’re dealing with individuals whose names are “Sound Advice” and “Tony GOPrano”, I suspect I won’t be hearing from them personally to explain themselves.  Thanks for letting me set the record straight!

Islamic Email Threat

I received the below email tonight, though it was sent nearly 20 hours ago.  As such, if true, I have only a day at most to live.  If that's the case, someone needs to know about this email, thus the posting. 

If I shall live, as I certainly suspect, then it's at least interesting to note that some wackos are out there sending emails such as the one below.  You'd think they'd have learned by now not to screw with Americans...well at least Republican Americans.  We fight wars to win.  Perhaps, though, they are encouraged by their elementary school friend Obama's poll numbers.  Who knows? 

If true however, here's a warning to the cowardly terrorists.  You are worthless, unholy cowards who prey upon innocent women and children.  The closest you will ever get to Allah was the moment of your birth.  Since then, you only created distance from him.  You are not men, but uneducated, self-molesting, indoctrinated dolts who live in caves.  We all mock you and laugh at your impotence.  George Bush shows his face in public everyday.  Your cowardly leaders hide in the shadows, watching western movies, in fear of our armies.  America does not fear you.  I do not fear you.  Bring it on!

Hello,

It is of utmost importance that you read this email with all carefulness and seriousness. It might interest you to know that someone who does not like your existence on Earth has paid us (Fatah Al Islam) to eliminate you. It was maintained that you have occupied a position that you ought not to have occupied, but due to your greedy nature you worked yourself up to that post. We have been following you around and from all indications you will be executed by tomorrow.

For your information, you do not need to inform anyone or even the police about this, it will never change anything, and rather you will also be endangering the lives of other members of your family.

You can always reach us on this email if you wish to make any contribution. Be warned!!!

Pro-Choice "Catholics" Should Be Excommunicated

Some "Catholics" are making a mockery out of those who practice the Catholic faith.   A few of the better known alleged Catholics are John Kerry, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Ted Kennedy - members of Congress all, and all staunch supporters of a woman's legal right to kill her children.

Other so called Catholics who are duplicitous about their faith are Duquesne University law professor Nicholas Cafardi,who has recently endorsed Senator Obama on the basis of three things. One, he believes the abortion battle is lost.  Two, he thinks Bush's handling of Hurricane Katrina was "intrinsically evil" and equal to abortion. And three, Obama supports welfare for women, which he says may eliminate the need for abortions.

Professor Cafardi has clearly gone mad, as has Pepperdine University law professor Douglas Kmiec, who states "Senator Obama comes reasonably close" to embodying "an alternative way to be pro-life."  Huh?

Senator Obama has some of the most radical and anti-life positions of any candidate in decades.

The point here is that some "Catholics" are anything but.  These so-called cafeteria Catholics, who pick and choose what about the faith they like, are damaging our faith.

Perhaps worse than them, though, are the Catholic clergy who do nothing in response.  The Senators and Congresswoman Pelosi should clearly be stripped of the privilege to receive the Eucharist until they start to follow, and as politicians, support laws in harmony with the most basic tenets of our faith - the right to life.  That they speak around the country in support of abortion while participating in the Eucharist and claiming to be "good Catholics" is nothing short of outrageous.

Church leaders need to step up and lead.  Forgive those of us who fall from grace and repent, but excommunicate those who day after day, in vote after vote, participate in destroying for the most helpless God's most precious gift...life.  In doing so, Church members who deserve to call themselves Catholics will be proud.  We may be fewer in number, but we will be stronger, more energized, and truer to the teachings of Christ. 

Obama Will Eliminate All Pro-Child Laws

The following is an excert from a Newsweek article written by George Weigel

According to his own Web site, Obama supports the federal Freedom of Choice Act [FOCA], which would eliminate all state and federal regulation of abortion (such as informed consent and parental notification in the case of minors seeking an abortion); these regulations have demonstrably reduced the absolute number of abortions in the jurisdictions in which they are in effect. FOCA would also eliminate, by federal statute, state laws providing "conscience clause" protection for pro-life doctors who decline to provide abortions. Obama (along with the Democratic Party platform) supports federal funding for abortion, opposes the Hyde amendment (which restricts the use of taxpayer monies for abortion) and has pledged to repeal the "Mexico City policy" (initiated by Ronald Reagan and reinstated by George W. Bush, which bans federal foreign-aid funding for organizations that perform and promote abortion as a means of family planning). According to the pro-choice Web site RHRealityCheck.org, Obama also opposes continued federal funding for crisis pregnancy centers.

Then there is the continuing controversy over Obama's role in the Illinois state legislature when that body was considering an "infants born alive" protection act that would extend full legal protection to infants who survive a late-term abortion. According to the Annenberg Political Fact Check, Obama opposed the 2001 and 2002 Illinois "born alive" bills on the grounds that they were attempts to undermine Roe vs. Wade but said he would have supported an Illinois bill similar to the federal "born alive" legislation signed by President Bush in 2002. Yet, according to Annenberg, "Obama voted in committee against the 2003 state bill that was nearly identical to the federal bill he says he would have supported." However one sorts out the conflicting claims in this often-bitter debate, in which charges of infanticide and lying have been hurled, there can be no doubt that Barack Obama did not make his own the cause of legal protection for infants who survive an abortion.
