Let us remember that 0bama is not the only issue. He is a big one in our immediate future but he is not the only one.

Remember what islam is, and then remember this . . .

Is this same the religion of peace we are all told about by leftist media spin? The parents of the girl in this story are also prime examples of the muslim problem. To muslims this seems to be the norm.

In islam it is submit or die. It will be our sons and daughters that will have to deal with this oppressive mess.

Apostrophes, who needs em?

Ann Coulter has some interesting points in this article.

Are the parasites and leeches going to carry the election for 0bama or will the hard working and tax paying productive people in the United States rise up and quash this "Bringer of Hope and Change"? As far as the changes the country he has brought, none of them have been good changes unless you are a union member or a big government activist. The change I have had to deal with have been inflation, ever increasing 0bama debt and the looming threat of 0bama Kare. These are just a few of many. We must not forget the unnecessarily high gas prices that we face at the pump every time we need gas. Groceries are rising with no end in sight. We still hear from 0bama that more is needed.

That being raised in the glory of the resurrection,
He may be burned among all other dictators,

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

HUNTSVILLE, Texas - A convicted sex offender was put to death Wednesday evening for slipping into a San Antonio apartment in the middle of the night, snatching a 7-year-old girl and raping and strangling her.

Guadalupe Esparza, 46, asked for forgiveness before Texas Department of Criminal Justice officials administered lethal drugs into his arms.

"To the family of Alyssa Vasquez, I hope you will find peace in your heart," he said. "My sympathy goes out to you. I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me. I don't know why all of this happened."

He was pronounced dead 11 minutes later, at 6:21 p.m. CST. Bellingham Herald

Ohio serves justice by executing the completely worthless thug to the very end Reginald Brooks.

LUCASVILLE, Ohio, Nov 15, 2011 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Reginald Brooks was executed Tuesday for killing his three sons in 1982 while they slept in their East Cleveland, Ohio, home, prison officials said.

The execution by lethal injection at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility near Lucasville, was delayed for several hours Tuesday while a federal judge ruled on his competency. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied Brooks final appeal, prison officials said

Prisons spokesman Carlo LoParo said Brooks' lawyers decided not to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported.

Brooks was pronounced dead at 2:04 p.m. EST, the newspaper said. Source

This is the news story.

Here is the way the worthless turd really went out.

2:41 p.m. update: There were three of the victims’ family members and one friend who observed the execution. All of them were wearing t-shirts with the three brothers’ photos on them.

2:21 p.m. update: When asked if he had any final words, Brooks said “No.” Once the warden gave the go-ahead to inject him, Brooks stuck out his middle finger. Those who witnessed the execution gasped. As he slowly went to sleep, his middle finger stayed sticking up. Source

Florida serves justice with the execution of Oba Chandler.

STARKE, Florida – A U.S. man convicted of killing a woman and her two teenage daughters in June 1989 as the victims returned from a dream vacation to Disney World has been executed.

Oba Chandler, 65, was administered a lethal injection and pronounced dead at 4:25 p.m. Tuesday at the Florida state prison, Gov. Rick Scott's office said. Chandler's death warrant was the second Scott has signed since taking office.

Chandler was convicted in 1994 of killing 36-year-old Joan Rogers and her daughters, Christe and Michelle, who were 14 and 17. The three were on vacation in Florida -- their first ever -- and were on their way home to their small farming community of Wilshire, Ohio, when they met Chandler. Read more at FoxNews

Frank Martinez Garcia Executed

Texas serves justice.

Frank Martinez Garcia, 39, was executed by lethal injection on 27 October 2011 in Huntsville, Texas for the murder of his wife and a police officer during an argument.

On 29 March 2001 in San Antonio, Jessica Garcia, 21, called her stepmother, Sylvia Duran, and said she was ready to leave the home she was sharing with her husband, Frank, then 28, their two children, 5 and 2, and Frank's parents. Duran came to pick her up, bringing Jessica's uncle and aunt, John and Rosario Luna.

Meanwhile, Frank's mother, Eustacia Garcia, 68, called her son at work to alert him that Jessica was attempting to leave with the children. He rushed home to stop her.

When Duran and the Lunas arrived, Jessica came outside. Frank then rushed up, grabbed his wife in a headlock, and dragged her inside.

San Antonio police officer Hector Garza, 48, arrived at the house. It was his second visit to the home that morning. He went inside and entered the bedroom where the couple was arguing. When he attempted to separate them, Garcia, who had his back to Garza, suddenly spun around and shot him in the head with a Mac-10 semiautomatic handgun. He then shot Jessica six times, killing her. He then went outside, firing wildly until he was out of ammunition. He went back inside, picked up an AK-47 rifle, and shot Garza again as he lay on the ground. Source

If you have time to read the whole link you will see this animal should have been executed long ago.

ATMORE, Alabama --

An Alabama death row inmate convicted of brutally beating and suffocating his infant son in February 2005 was executed tonight.

The lethal injection was administered to Christopher Johnson shortly before 6pm. The exact time of death was 6:25pm.

Christopher Johnson had refused to pursue any appeals in an attempt to stop the execution. The 38-year-old Johnson filed court papers in May saying he didn't want to go to court on his behalf.

Johnson was convicted of killing his 6-month-old son, Elias Ocean Johnson, at the family's home in Atmore in February 2005.

Johnson represented himself during part of his trial and testified that he hit and suffocated his son because he hated his wife and didn't want to be near her. The wife, Dana Johnson, now lives in Arizona and is not expected to attend the execution. Source

Florida serves justice.

STARKE — A Florida man convicted of killing a police officer during a traffic stop 33 years ago has been executed at the Florida State Prison.

Manuel Valle, 61, was administered a lethal injection and pronounced dead at 7:14 p.m. Wednesday, the governor's office reported. Valle was the first Florida inmate to face execution using the state's newly revised mix of lethal drugs, a concoction that faced legal challenges which twice delayed carrying out the death sentence.

Valle fatally shot Coral Gables officer Louis Pena on April 2, 1978, after Pena stopped Valle for a traffic violation while driving a stolen car, according to court records. He also shot fellow officer Gary Spell, who survived and would testify against Valle in court.

Spell testified that when he arrived the day of the shooting, Valle was seated in Pena's patrol car. As Pena was checking the license plate of the car Valle had been driving, Valle walked back to the car, reached inside and then walked back and fired a single shot at Pena, the records indicate. He then fired two shots at Spell, who was saved by his bulletproof vest, the records show. Valle fled and was arrested two days later. Source: NaplesNews

Socialism

2011-09-28T08:52:00.000-04:00

Is socialism on the rise in America?

Socialists are more at ease talking about their goals even if it is played off as "just a joke."

"I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover."

The comment - which came during a discussion of the economy - perked more than a few ears. It's unclear whether Perdue, a Democrat, is serious, but her tone was level and she asked others to support her on the idea.

Later Tuesday afternoon, Perdue's office clarified the remarks:

"Come on," said spokeswoman Chris Mackey in a statement. "Gov. Perdue was obviously using hyperbole to highlight what we can all agree is a serious problem: Washington politicians who focus on their own election instead of what's best for the people they serve." Source: Charlotte Observer

Where does the joking end and socialism begin? The next election will be interesting.

ATMORE, Ala. -- A man described by a police informant as trying to make a name for himself was executed Thursday evening for the 1994 shooting death of an Alabama store clerk during a robbery.

Derrick O. Mason, 37, was administered an injection and pronounced dead minutes later at 6:49 p.m. local time at Alabama's Holman Prison. It was the third execution this week in the United States.

Strapped to the gurney, Mason gave a brief statement, apologizing to the victim's family "for the hurt and pain I caused" them. He thanked the victim's father for getting in touch years ago and granting him his forgiveness. Just before the chemicals began coursing through the veins in Mason's arm, a prison chaplain held his hand and kneeled and said a prayer before stepping back. Source.

Lawrence Russell Brewer Executed

2011-09-22T06:09:00.001-04:00

Texas serves justice.

His sentence handed down in Brazos County, one of the men behind a gruesome East Texas murder in 1998 has been executed.

Lawrence Russell Brewer was pronounced dead at 6:21 p.m. Wednesday night in Huntsville, nearly 12 years to the day he was transported from the courthouse in Bryan to Death Row in Livingston.

Brewer and two others were found responsible for the beating and dragging death of James Byrd Jr., a racially-motivated act by Brewer, a professed white supremacist.

There were no appeals filed on Brewer's behalf.

"There were a lot of tears coming from his parents," said Lindsey Kovacevich, a reporter for KFDM in Beaumont who witnessed the execution. "His brother never once looked at Brewer until, finally, it was over."

Witnesses say Brewer only looked at the room with his family, not the one holding Byrd's family.

"James stood up for us," Byrd's sister Clara Taylor said after the execution. "He had our back all the time. He was the life of our family. He would be happy to see us standing up for him."

Taylor said she believes the death penalty should be used on a case-by-case basis, and that it was warranted in Brewer's case.

When asked if it felt like it had been 12 years since her family had been in Bryan to witness Brewer's trial, she said "it's been a long time. It's been a long time. I've aged. It's taken its toll on all of us." Source.

Troy Davis Executed

Georgia serves justice with the execution of Troy Davis.

JACKSON, Ga. — Georgia executed Troy Davis on Wednesday night for the murder of an off-duty police officer, a crime he denied committing right to the end as supporters around the world mourned and declared that an innocent man was put to death.

Defiant to the end, he told relatives of Mark MacPhail that his 1989 slaying was not his fault. "I did not have a gun," he insisted. "For those about to take my life," he told prison officials, "may God have mercy on your souls. May God bless your souls."

Davis was declared dead at 11:08 p.m. The lethal injection began about 15 minutes earlier, after the Supreme Court rejected an 11th-hour request for a stay. The court did not comment on its order, which came about four hours after it received the request and more than three hours after the planned execution time. Source.

I am glad this will be out of the headlines now. It spent too much time as a news story. I thought they were trying to make him out to be a Mumia Abu-Jama from the horrible travesty of justice that the Officer Daniel Faulkner story is.

Texas serves justice.

Steven Michael Woods Jr., 31, was executed by lethal injection on 13 September 2011 in Huntsville, Texas for the murder and robbery of two people.

Early in the morning of 2 May 2001, two golfers driving on a golf course road in The Colony - a suburb on the north side of Dallas - discovered two victims lying beside a car. Ron Whitehead, 21, had been shot in the head six times and his neck was cut four times. Bethena Brosz, 19, was shot twice in the head, once in the knee, and her throat was also cut. Whitehead was dead. Brosz was alive and given medical treatment, but died the next day.

The police received several anonymous tips that Woods, then 21, and Marcus Rhodes, 23, were involved in the killings. Detectives interviewed Woods, who admitted being with the victims the night before their bodies were found at Insomnia, a coffee shop in Dallas's Deep Ellum entertainment district. Woods said that he and Rhodes had agreed to lead Whitehead and Brosz to a house in The Colony, but that their two vehicles became separated during the trip, so he and Rhodes returned to Deep Ellum. Woods was not arrested as a result of this interview.

The Friday Pin Up

2011-08-25T21:05:00.000-04:00

Another weekend to recharge yourself (most of us any way). Make the most of it.

A WTH ACKnowledgement loaded with Barack Derangement Syndrome

2011-08-21T11:44:00.001-04:00

Why would anyone with half or less of a brain put this as an ACKnowledgement in their book? When hundreds of people will be reading it thinking Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? It would ruin the book for me. I have a low tolerance for anything pro-0bama considering the media tries to bombard us with it daily.

Most names were redacted to protect the innocent.

This book was published in 2009 and I wonder if the writer of this novel still feels the same way?

Any wonder why 0bama was elected? The writer of this novel looks to be a classic person with some white guilt or was silly enough to believe the "Historical election" bull shit.

This post was inspired by my Wife who enjoyed the book until she read the ACKnowledgements page. The perils of reading today.

Jerry Terrell Jackson executed

2011-08-18T19:00:00.000-04:00

Virginia serves Justice.

JARRATT, Va. — A man who raped and suffocated an 88-year-old woman was executed, becoming Virginia's first inmate to be given a lethal injection using a revised three-drug cocktail.

Jerry Terrell Jackson, 30, was pronounced dead at 9:14 p.m. Thursday at Greensville Correctional Center.

Asked if he had any final words, Jackson shook his head and said "no" under his breath. As he waited for the drugs to be administered, he tapped his foot as he lay strapped to a stainless steel gurney. The execution team took about 15 minutes to insert two intravenous lines, one into each arm. Within four minutes of the lines being inserted, he was pronounced dead.

Jackson was sentenced to death for the 2001 rape and murder of seamstress Ruth Phillips in her Williamsburg apartment.

Like other states, Virginia recently replaced sodium thiopental with pentobarbital after a nationwide shortage of the sedative, which is administered before two other drugs that stop the inmate's breathing and heart. Attorneys in some states have contested the use of pentobarbital, but federal courts have ruled the change is not significant enough to stop executions. Read more at Chron.

Back at it and starting with this, Economic Mess.

That sounds like his overall performance to date doesn't it?

Yeah, it just keeps getting worse with everything the minister of Hope and Change has 0bamaized.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Turmoil returned to the stock markets on Thursday, as renewed concerns about the U.S. and global economies sent major indexes plunging and pushed gold to a new record high.

Investors rushed to move their money into safe U.S. government bonds -- and yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury fell to a record low below 2%.

Investors were walloped by bad news on multiple fronts: Morgan Stanley put out a dismal forecast for global economic growth. A key reading on housing came in worse than expected. And a report showed a significant slowdown in manufacturing.

"We had a couple days to stabilize and breathe, but you forget that it's a war zone out there and there's just too much uncertainty about the economy," said Frank Davis, director of sales and trading at LEK Securities.

The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 457 points, or 4%, after falling as much as 528 points. The S&P 500 was down 51 points, or 4.3%; and the Nasdaq Composite lost 116 points, or 4.7%.

All 30 members of the Dow were in the red, with Bank of America shares plunging 8%. Only four members of the S&P 500 were trading higher. Read the rest of 0bama's mess here.

It is damn depressing watching him do his damage of government over growth and over regulation.

Martin Robles Executed

2011-08-10T08:19:00.000-04:00

Texas serves Justice.

Martin Robles, 33, was executed by lethal injection on 10 August 2011 in Huntsville, Texas for the murder of two people in their home.

On 12 November 2002, Robles, then 24 and Joe "Magic" Padron, 26, entered a Corpus Christi house in the early morning and shot two occupants - John Commisky and Jesus Gonzalez, both 19 - to death. They then went outside and drove away in a maroon Chevrolet Trail Blazer. A third occupant of the house, Antonio Ortiz, called 9-1-1 after the killers left.

The autopsies determined that Gonzalez had been shot at least fifteen times, mainly in the head, while Commisky was shot at least fourteen times, mostly in the back. They were both shot from a distance of no more than two-and-a-half feet.

At Robles' trial, Ortiz testified that he was asleep in the front of the house when he heard shots being fired. He got up and looked down the hall to see two men dressed in black and wearing masks, shooting at Commisky and Gonzalez. Ortiz testified that even though the shooters were wearing masks, he recognized them as Robles and Padron based on their builds and his previous encounters with them. He also testified that he saw the men removing their masks after they got in their vehicle, and he recognized Robles as one of the men who removed his mask. Link

Smyrna — While most of Delaware slept, a bleak chapter in the lives of a Hockessin family was finally put to rest after nearly two decades.

Robert W. Jackson III, the man convicted in the 1992 ax murder of 47-year-old Elizabeth Girardi during a botched robbery, was executed by lethal injection at the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center north of Smyrna. He was pronounced dead at 12:12 a.m. Dover Post

Thomas West Executed

2011-07-22T12:02:00.009-04:00

Justice was served in Arizona.

FLORENCE - Thomas West went quietly.

The convicted killer turned down a last meal Monday night and decided not to pronounce any last words Tuesday morning as he lay strapped to a table in the death chamber at the state prison in Florence.

Instead, he sent a message to his attorneys with pre-arranged hand signals and flashed them a peace sign. Then he closed his eyes as the prison warden read the warrant for execution and never opened them again.

Lethal chemicals coursed through his veins at 11:01 a.m., and nine minutes later, he was pronounced dead. He was 52. AZCentral

Andrew Grant DeYoung Executed

2011-07-22T12:01:00.000-04:00

Justice was served.

DeYoung was declared dead at 8:04 p.m., fewer than 15 minutes after the process began. Lying prone, he barely moved throughout the execution. His parting words were: "I'm sorry for everyone I've hurt."

For the first time in Georgia, a videographer was present in the execution chamber, documenting DeYoung's death and his reaction to a new three-drug lethal injection that anti-death penalty activists said caused unnecessary pain and suffering. The videographer, accompanied by a woman taking notes, stood off to the side and was barely visible to witnesses.

DeYoung, however, only blinked his eyes and swallowed repeatedly, and showed no violent signs in death. He was checked by a nurse for consciousness shortly into the execution, a new procedure put in place. At 8:22 p.m., he was taken from the prison in a black Butts County Coronor van.

It is believed this was the first execution involving lethal injection that was videotaped in the nation. In 1992, a California execution was recorded on video, but the gas chamber was in use. The execution of Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, was shown live over a closed-circuit broadcast from an Indiana prison to victims or family members of the deceased watching in Oklahoma City.

DeYoung was put to death for murdering his parents and his 14-year-old sister in 1993. A brother, 16, escaped the mayhem after hearing the commotion and running from the family's east Cobb County house to safety at a neighbor's home. DeYoung was captured within hours.

A Kennesaw State University student and 19 at the time, DeYoung went on the killing spree apparently thinking it would enable him to receive $480,000 in inheritance for a business venture. AJC

Mark Anthony Stroman Executed

Texas serves justice.

HUNTSVILLE — The lone survivor of a shooting spree that convicted killer Mark Stroman said was revenge for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks asked the courts to spare the Texas death row inmate's life. The request delayed the execution, but couldn't stop it.

Stroman, 41, went to the death chamber Wednesday night in Huntsville about three hours later than scheduled. He was sentenced to death for the fatal 2001 shooting of Dallas-area convenience store clerk Vasudev Patel during a robbery attempt. Source

The thin skinned socialist

Proving more and more everyday he has no nuts.

Testosterone and a spine are nonexistent in this life-form. It is also my guess he did not father those kids with the klingon (no offense to Klingons everywhere).

On to the story,

No yelling at 0bama;

A long-running tiff between the White House press corps and the West Wing over presidential access flared anew today when press secretary Jay Carney faced off with reporters over the right to shout questions at the president during debt talks.

Obama chafes at the time-honored practice of answering questions shouted at him during pooled, non-press conference events — and his staff has often opted for “stills sprays,” excluding print reporters or TV cameras who might capture Obama in the less than flattering non-act of snubbing a query.

When asked today why TV crews and print reporters were barred from the pool covering the White House meeting with congressional leaders on the deficit, Carney responded by pointing out that the administration has held two press conferences in the past two weeks and allowed TV cameras into the spray earlier this week.

"People shouted questions at him," Carney added.

How thin skinned is this dolt currently retaining the title of pRESIDENT? By reading the comments of this story it is obvious the love for 0bama is history. Some of them are hilarious.
