			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/102411-mormonism-a-cult"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-5180" src="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/church-18-133x150.jpg" alt="" width="133" height="150" /></a>Well it was bound to happen and it did.  Reverend Robert Jeffress pastor at the First Baptist Dallas had to shoot his mouth off (which was very unchristian of him) and call Mormonism (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) a “cult”.  Where is the outrage in this country?  I mean if he would have called following Mohammad (Muslim) a cult there would be total outrage and a mainstream media firestorm.  So where is this outrage and mainstream firestorm now that a Christian religion has been attacked?  Nothing, just crickets.   So why the attack upon the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?  Is that all opponents have on Romney and Huntsman?  Come on for crying out loud, this is a Christian religion with Christian beliefs. </p>
<p>First, the Mormons believe in the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.  The only differences are that the Mormons believe that each is a separate entity. Plus, Mormons believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins upon the cross and He is our Savior.</p>
<p>Second, Mormons believe in wearing temple garments after receiving their endowments in the temple. These are not as some refer to them “magic pajamas”.  Let me explain these things better so you can understand them.  Temples have been built by the “commandment of the Lord where he could teach, guide, and bless His people.  This is shown in Exodus 26-27, 40:35, 2 Chronicles 5:1-14, 7:1-2 (Temple of King Solomon), and Ezra 3:1-13, 6:3 (Temple of Zerubbabel).  When Christ was on earth the only existing temple known was the Temple of Herod.  Jesus was often found there.  Luke 2:40-49 and Matthew 21:10-14”.  (<a href="http://www.lds.org/">http://www.lds.org</a>).  Now endowments are special blessings that are done in the temple which worthy members make promises and covenants with God and learn how to return to live with Him.   Lastly, the temple garments are worn as an “armor of God” after a worthy member receives their endowments at the temple.  These are worn daily and many members are buried with their temple garments.</p>
<p>Third, Mormons believe that Joseph Smith (founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and the Book of Mormon) was a prophet and revelator.  This does not mean that Joseph Smith is worshipped by members of the Mormon Church, like so many think.  Joseph Smith is respected and loved by those in the church for his love of Christ, his interpreting and securing the plates which the Book of Mormon was written from, and for his ultimate sacrifice to bring the words of Christ to all nations, kindred’s, and tongues. The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ taking place in the America’s.  Since its publication, the Book of Mormon has been part of a great controversy, but has not been proven wrong by the many who have tried to deny its truth.  Along with the Book of Mormon, the King James Version of the Bible is used, along with the Doctrine and Covenants which contains revelations given to the prophet Joseph Smith and some additions by his successors in the presidency of the church.  So it is NOT true that Mormons do not use the Bible.  In fact, this year for Sunday school in Mormon churches across the world, there has been a study of the New Testament.  Mormons believe in Jesus Christ and that He is the Savior.</p>
<p>So as you have read Mormonism is not a cult, it is a Christian Church by all rights.  Mormons may have different ways of doing things but what it really comes down to is that the Mormons believe in the Father, Son, Holy Ghost, the King James Version Bible, the Ten Commandments, faith, hope, and charity.  Yes, there are certain things that are different, but what really matters is the fact that Mormons believe like all other Christian churches believe in the basics of Christianity and that is that Jesus Christ came here to earth to die for all of our sins so we may be resurrected and return to our Father in heaven.  I hope this clears some of the misconceptions of the Mormon Church and if you want to learn more facts about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints please go to <a href="http://www.mormon.org/">www.mormon.org</a> or to <a href="http://www.lds.org/">www.lds.org</a>.  By the way, if you were wondering, yes I am a Mormon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stumpreport.com/101211-the-anti-second-amendment-debacle"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3528" src="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Usflag-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Americans know that this administration is no holds bar anti-Second Amendment; they all have made no bones about it.  So it should not surprise Americans that this administration would try something like “Operation Fast and Furious” to try to set up law abiding American gun dealers to take the fall for guns going over the border into Mexico and used to commit murder. This would give the Obama administration the “numbers” to “prove” there needs to be more gun control in America; since they do not have the proof they need at this point because majority of guns used in the cartel murders are from the Mexican Army itself or other Central and South American countries. On top of this, the average ages of the guns used are at least 14 years old.    In this operation it is figured over 2,000 guns were allowed to “walk” across the border into Mexico with the blessings of the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) leadership and even with the blessings of the Justice Department, FBI, DEA, Secretary of State, and the U.S. Attorney General.  By the way, two rifles that were involved in the December 2010 murder of U.S. Border Agent Brian Terry were traced back to “Operation Fast and Furious”. </p>
<p>I wonder if the Obama administration knows how much blood is on their hands trying to push this anti-Second Amendment agenda.  Sadly, this administration does not care how many people will be murdered trying to push their political agenda and that is made very evident in the letter from A.G. Eric Holder to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform dated October 7, 2011 (<a href="http://www.foxnews/politics/2011/10/07/holder-challenges-fast-and-furious-allegations-in-scathing-letter-to-congress/">http://www.foxnews/politics/2011/10/07/holder-challenges-fast-and-furious-allegations-in-scathing-letter-to-congress/</a>)  “A telling moment in this regard came during one of the Fast and Furious hearings held by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform when Representative Maloney sought to question  ATF witnesses about potential reforms to our laws that would help stem the flow of illegal weapons.  Representative Maloney was cut-off in mid-sentence by Chairman Issa, who then “cautioned” the witness that it would not “valid testimony” to respond to such questions because the Committee was not interested in “proposed legislation and the like.” “Even in the face of an unprecedented flow of guns across the border, too many in Congress still oppose every effort to reform our gun laws in ways that would make the United States and our Mexican neighbors safer.”  Eric Holder as you can read is more concerned about the Obama administration anti-Second Amendment agenda than they are the people that are getting killed because of their determination to disarm law abiding Americans.  There is not even the mention of any regret of the killing of U.S. Border Agent Brian Terry at the hands of those who allowed “Fast and Furious” to be implemented in the first place.  All there is another blame game of the former Bush administration and blaming law abiding Americans exercising their Second Amendment rights. </p>
<p>On top of this political agenda, they have not just forgotten the human toll but they also forgot about the rules and regulations that govern any weapon going into another country from the United States and that is where the Arms Export Control Act comes in.  This act “prohibits anyone from exporting firearms to other countries unless the U.S. State Department issues a permit.  There is no “law enforcement” exception that would apply to “Fast and Furious”. (Kopel, David.  October 2011. Mexico Comes Knocking. Pg 39).  Also, with this act comes the fact the United States President would have to sign off on all things pertaining to any weapon going across our border into another country.  So we either have a very dumb president or a very smart one who is trying to use the “backdoor” to get his anti-Second Amendment legislation passed, no matter what the human cost is. This act also includes the U.S. Attorney General and the U.S. Secretary of Treasury and the Secretary of State knowing and signing off on any kind of export of arms to any country. </p>
<p>So is the anti-Second Amendment debacle “Fast and Furious” worth the human toll and breaking the Arms Export Control Act?  I really do not think so, all it has proven is what lengths this present administration is willing to go to and that is really sad.  But the Obama administration may have the last laugh if Mexico’s lawsuit against American gun manufacturers gets taken seriously and rammed through the Supreme Court or heaven forbid the International Court.  Just another way the Obama administration is willing to do in order to take away law abiding Americans Second Amendment rights.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stumpreport.com/099011-dear-president-obama"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-5620" src="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Obamaq-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>I sat down last night and watched you give your speech to a joint session of Congress last night and boy was I disappointed and totally bored!  It was like I was hearing a repeat of your speech on the stimulus package in 2009! But this time the name of it is “The American Jobs Act”-WOW! What imagination!  You want to spend more money this country does not have? How did that work in 2009?  Did not do one bit of good and in fact you made the economy worse-9.1% unemployment with over 14 million Americans out of work- and put our national security at risk with over a $14 trillion debt!  What the heck are you thinking?</p>
<p>You even tried to sell tax cuts for businesses especially small businesses but these are only temporary and who in their right mind running a business going to hire an American for only six months to a year just to receive a tax cut?  Not many, if any!  You do not have any clue how much money and time it takes to train a new employee.  On top of this, you are proposing a cut in the payroll tax, another temporary fix-gee how did this work the first time?  NOT! We still have over 14 million Americans with no jobs!</p>
<p>Just like in 2009 you want to extend unemployment benefits for another year-gee how did that work the first time?  It didn’t!!  Unemployment went up and consumer spending and confidence down…this does not work!  Where are the states going to find the money for this?  States are going broke and you want to keep adding more burdens upon them?  How ridiculous!  Extending unemployment benefits does not create jobs it just creates more of an entitlement attitude!!</p>
<p>Again, you are trying to sell the 2009 stimulus bill last night by talking about billions of dollars to throw at infrastructure (roads/bridges), teachers, and veterans. Gee where is the buzz word “shovel ready” while we are at it?  How does this even put a ecent dent in over 14 million Americans out of work when according to some economists that it may only “create” 1.4 million jobs?  What a crock of crap!</p>
<p>Just when I thought it could not get any worse you had to keep repeating “Pass this bill…” seventeen times!  Who was political grandstanding?  This appears to me that you are more worried about campaigning to keep your job as president then the poorU.S.economy and the Americans its effecting.  So stop pointing fingers at everybody else and realize that you have three fingers pointing at you! </p>
<p>You continued thusly to keep the socialist agenda alive by saying this jobs bill is to keep everything fair to all Americans-excuse me!  This country was not built on “fair” (code word for entitled) this country was built on men and women getting off their butts and working hard and sacrificing many comforts to obtain their American Dream!  It does not say anything about being “fair” in the U.S. Constitution! Along with this is the notion that millionaires and billionaires need to “pay their fair share”.  Do you even realize who you are talking about?  The small businesses you say you want to help-duh!  How is that even helping?  You dump more taxes on small businesses which will in turn create fewer jobs because many will be closing by the weight of taxes and regulations. More taxes are a job killer-DUH!</p>
<p>Finally, your speech was just a repeat of the 2009 stimulus bill with a few words added and subtracted.  This country does not need more stimulus money or higher taxes or for that matter short term fixes.  What this country needs is a long term plan that will reduce the deficit, the size of the federal government, cut entitlements, go to a flat tax, cut the corporate tax (highest in the world), put Americans back to work, and stop spending money on short term fixes just to get re-elected to the White House.  Plus, no more political grandstanding as I saw last night during your speech-enough already! Time to get to work and that does not mean for photo ops!!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>An American who has had enough!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stumpreport.com/120811-who-for-president"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3508" src="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/white-house-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>As I watched the GOP Presidential Debate on Fox last night-I was not impressed by anybody including Romney.  This was a waste if time with lame answers and constant bickering between Bachman and Pawlenty-but there was one surprise and that was Gingrich.  Gingrich was quick and to the point with strength and conviction, but it is too late for him-DOA!  So who should run on the 2012 Presidential ticket to represent the conservatives and who could kick Obama’s butt back toChicago; oh wait a minute how about backHawaii-that should be far enough!  It is not Rick Perry fromTexaswho has dabbled in meetings connected to the United Nations Agenda 21. </p>
<p>This person has been the U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, Assistant Secretary for International Organization Affairs, Senior V. P. of AEI, Attorney for Lerner, Reed, Bolton, and McManus, Assistant Attorney General; Department of Justice, Attorney with Covington and Burling, and Assistant Administrator for Program and Policy Coordination, General Counsel, and U. S. Agency for International Development.  Plus, this persons’ education includes a J.D. fromYaleUniversityLawSchool, and a B. A. fromYaleUniversity.  The person I am talking about is John R. Bolton. </p>
<p>The progressive left hate John R. Bolton and many countries likeNorth Koreado not like to deal with him because he is straight and to the point and does not back down-he does not like to bend over and take it from behind!  He also does not like the United Nations or Obama for their plans to create a One World Government, plus he would not sign theUnited Statesto be part of the International Criminal Court (Rome Statute) that would subject theUnited Statesto U.N. law and discipline and circumvent the U.S. Constitution and theU.S.court system.   Along with this, in 2001 at a U.N. Conference on Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons, he made it clear that anything that interfered with any Americans “right to keep and bear arms” as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the U. S. Constitution; which this did, the United States wanted no part of it. </p>
<p>John R. Bolton has been accused of being rude and down right nasty to those who defy him and are negotiating with him.  Some countries have refused to deal with him when he was the Ambassador to the United Nations like North Korea; I guess they could not stand up to his being blunt and to the point-the North Koreans have “thin skins” I guess after all.  There is not a thing wrong with coming into any negotiation tough and being to the point-it eliminates most of the political dancing that so many politicians like to do which wastes valuable time and money of all taxpayers!</p>
<p>John R. Bolton believes in American exceptionalism and is not ashamed to say that to anybody including those who hate us including our own President or his puppeteer George Soros.  We are the “shining city on the hill” as Ronald Reagan said and many people from different countries agree with that and do everything they can to come here to be a part of that.  There is nothing wrong with believing in Americans and how great they can be!  If that is a crime, arrest me now!</p>
<p>John R. Bolton is human like everybody else and that means he not perfect, but he strongly believes in the U.S. Constitution and upholds it every chance he gets.  He will not bend to the will of any one nation nor will he bend to the will of the United Nations.  He will fight for the freedom of all Americans and make sure to punish anybody who messes with this great country of ours!  He is not afraid to take onIran,Syria,Cuba,Mexicoor any country that threatens our national security!  Some people think he to quick to jump into a fight, but it is better then what our president is doing now-NEGLIGENT, INCOMPETENT, SOCIALIST AGENDA, WEAK, ANTI-AMERICAN, MUSLIM, AND NO USE FOR THE U.S. CONSTITUTION!  He will also make sure to have people in positions that know what they are doing and will be able to put this country back on track financially and put Americans back to work!  It is time for John R. Bolton to run for President of theUnited Statesin 2012!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/creative001001.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6369" title="creative001001" src="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/creative001001.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="220" /></a>After three successful years at twitter @Lizarddawg, a Christian conservative account, has finally been banned by Twitter.   From the beginning Liberals, Muslims, gay militants, and anyone with a beef threatened to have the account banned by Twitter. </p>
<p>Their tactics were numerous, anywhere from hacking the account and sending out personal requests for money, to reporting the site as Spam to twitter and many other inventive techniques. </p>
<p>Lizarddawg was a successful conservative account, but in the last year it had become much harder to operate and function successfully.  Followers were being dropped constantly keeping the account from reaching the 40,000 follower mark. </p>
<p>Followers were often asking why they were being un-followed and when twitter was asked to look into it Twitter would only send a link to policy or say change your pass word. </p>
<p>Major issues arose in the messaging system where it became impossibly to manage any messaging: again twitter refused to help at first.  Four months latter the problem would be mysteriously solved.   Attempts to have Twitter review for internal hacking or malicious abuse went to deaf ears.  </p>
<p>@lizarddawg had many foes who enjoyed ranting their disagreement with its message and using insults and filthy language to make their points.   Often @Lizarddawg blocked accounts in order to clear the twitter stream from violent or filthy language.  </p>
<p>Many of these individuals who wanted to disrupt the message from @Lizarddawg whether militant gay activist, radical Muslim or a pro-choice supporter realized the power of blocking an account in Twitter.</p>
<p>Blocking a Twitter account has become a primary tool for liberals to draw attention to an offensive conservative account by Twitter support.  Twitter has now formulated a policy that stipulates that an account with enough blocks will be considered &#8220;SPAM&#8221;.  Therefore, liberals are following conservative and christian sites in hope of being followed by a conservative just so they have the ability to block those that offend the liberal idea.  They will also mass follow conservative sites just to unfollow: knowing that this may cause an account suspension.</p>
<p>This is the primary reason why @Lizarddawg was banned.  Listed below is the actually e-mail used by Twitter to ban @Lizarddawg. </p>
<blockquote><p> TheCaptain, Aug-08 03:29 pm (PDT):<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; Hello,<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; Your account was suspended for repeat violations of the Twitter Rules<br />
&gt; (<a href="http://twitter.com/rules" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/rules</a>), specifically aggressive following behavior.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; We found that among the users you followed, many of them blocked your<br />
&gt; account from following them, and as such, your account will not be<br />
&gt; re-enabled.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; Sincerely,<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; TheCaptain</p></blockquote>
<p>The e-mail makes it seem that people were just not happy with that account; however, the e-mail and its conclusion were deceptive.  Those who blocked @lizarddawg did so because of political reasoning not because the account was spamming or violating any policy. </p>
<p>The truth was that conservatives and Christians who the account choose to follow and serve enjoyed the account and seldom if ever blocked the account. </p>
<p>Liberals have found this loophole within Twitter policy and twitter being owned by liberals seems to have no problem with using such a biased policy to shut down the conservative message.  In July twitter shut down another major Texas Twitter account &#8220;<a href="http://ramparts360.com/2011/07/twitter-kills-the-most-important-state-level-conservative-group-in-the-country/">Empower Texans</a>&#8221; with little warning and or reasonable justification. </p>
<p>The truth is that sites like Twitter and Facebook can get away with political discrimination and nobody is willing to do a thing because they are private companies and truthfully we have never experienced such a phenomenon.   It is time to hold these companies accountable for this discrimination.  The companies need comprehensive investigation. </p>
<p>It is up to Congress to begin an investigation: if they fail to act it will be to the detriment to all who seek fair debate and the freedom that this nation has granted for so long.</p>
<p>It is very likely that a number of conservative sites may come under attack or direct twitter banning just prior to the 2012 election.</p>
<p>It is very sad that @Lizarddawg has been targeted by the liberal hate machine, but the voice of truth can&#8217;t be completely halted &#8211; currently @Stumpreport a secondary account to @Lizarddawg is still up and running. </p>
<p>However, it too,  has now come under a hacking attack.  It really gets tiring &#8211; changing your password every day.  Sadly again,  Twitter is not investigating the matter fully. </p>
<p>It may make a reasonable person wonder if  Twitter is truly just another arm of the DNC .  Furthermore, that same ressonable person may struggle with  how benificial to the left the policies of Twitter are becoming when it comes to silencing the conservative message:  all justified under one of the most confusing and vague corporate policies ever devised.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Summer holds so many blessings;  our amazing God left nothing undone in His creation. While sitting on my porch enjoying the peaceful setting of  bright sunshine, flowers, hummingbirds, butterflies and a gently blowing breeze which carried the moist woodsy scent of the Pennsylvania hardwoods,  I was thinking how differently this scenario would be if I were not so blessed to be living in a free country.  How different a perspective one would have in a controlled and oppressed  land.</p>
<p>The opposite of freedom is always about fear:  Fear would continually be a hovering entity. We as Christians know we are not given a spirit of fear (2 Tim. 1:7), and we can resist and overcome, but can you imagine a government who is always blatantly outright against your individual freedom.  One who desires to break your spirit, keep you down, to take away your simple pleasures, to bind up and restrict you in chains of poverty, lack, dependency and fear. </p>
<p>There is evil in this world to be aware and cautious of in any setting, and always will be until Jesus Christ The King of Kings and Lord of Lords sets His feet upon the Mount of Olives, but we are so blessed in America.  Though there are injustices, under most circumstances we do not have to fear someone coming in and taking our homes, our money, our treasured belongings, our family members without recrimination unless we’ve truly committed some kind of major crime or offense.</p>
<p>We are still allowed to buy what we can afford, choose our own path for life; our destiny, live where we decide, dress as we please, marry who we want, have as many children as we desire, eat what we like (though that restriction is in process), read what we choose,  house and enjoy the pets and livestock of our choice, own our land (as well as our home),  plant crops/gardens, go to the church of our choice,  have pretty things/endless toys, and surround ourselves with our friends and family to share and celebrate life without fear.</p>
<p>God did not intend for people to be oppressed. Freedom is His mantra! (John 8:32) God is not behind Communism, Socialism, Shiria Law, etc.  and so on. I dare to add even Liberalism to this group as it pushes freedoms to a distorted perspective: Freedom of individualism  i.e.  serving  self, which ultimately leads one away from the Lordship (and protection) of the laws and principles of God, and pushes towards governmental control. </p>
<p>There is a deeply dark force behind all these titles working endlessly to cover and take as much ground as it can, ultimately to oppress the creation that it so hates because it is made in God’s image, and to keep the gospel of Christ stifled by control and fear of prosecution, even death.</p>
<p>Last Christmas, when talk of saving energy by regulating how much, if any, Christmas lighting will be used, I thought, “Wow, a government that wants to continue taking control in the name of Environmentalism (another  manipulative/deceptive title) of even the beauty and simple joys that  bring wonder and  warmth to such a special “traditional” season;  All that is comforting, hopeful, peaceful  and beautiful.”  This is Christ and this is Christmas.  If that is where control starts, where does it end?</p>
<p>Will someday soon, as I sit on (what is still hopefully) my porch in the summer sun, be allotted my allowed ration of flowers, one bird feeder per household,  with dare no patio lights or “unhealthy” shortcake,  living under fear of being prosecuted because I’m reading my Bible without my head  covered while Big Brother watches my every move…  this somehow takes just a bit of the charm out the former  scenario.</p>
<p>May God continue to bless this country;  to hear the prayers of His people who desire to see America prosper as the the land of free and the home of the brave; the nation in which the majority love God and believe and honor Jesus Christ as the Son of God: Our Savior.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stumpreport.com/110167-united-nations-agenda-21"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-4799" src="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/00362859-150x150.jpg" alt="&quot;United Nations&quot;" width="150" height="150" /></a>Start saying “goodbye” to your land, your auto transportation, the free market, the U.S. Constitution and so much more.  This is serious.  The United Nations has a program that is called Agenda 21 which was “adopted by the U.N. Conference on Environment and Development on the 14 June 1992.   This is a “comprehensive programme” of action to be implemented by governments, development agencies, United Nations organizations and independent sector groups in every area where human (economic) activity effects the environment.” (<a href="http://www.johannesburgsummit.org/html/basic_info/agenda21.html">http://www.johannesburgsummit.org/html/basic_info/agenda21.html</a>) But do not be fooled, this has nothing to do with governments governing themselves, it has to do with the United Nations controlling resources, labor unions, money, businesses, agriculture, healthcare, population, cities, education, food intake, car you drive (if you are allowed to have one), industry, where you can live, trade, water, and the list continues.  Be afraid, be very afraid.</p>
<p>If the United States signs onto this whole package it will mean the end of the “American way of life”, period.  Because this program will trump the U.S. Constitution in the end and will put environment, Mother Earth, and climate change ahead of all human and animal needs.  Agenda 21 will “spread the wealth” (socialism) to all developing nations at the cost of billions to trillions to developed countries.  So the people who cannot stop breeding in developing countries we the developed nations will be paying for their broods no matter the cost and consequences to us-that even means the lazy, good for nothing, drug addict and alcoholic will be getting support from you and me; oh wait a minute, that is already happening here in the United  States!!  On top of this, is the fact the plan includes only consuming what you need and leave no extra-gee that sounds like communism!  There is also talk of controlling the population like China does now for the reason of “unsustainable consumption” and of course the stress on the environment, Mother Earth, and climate change. </p>
<p>Oh it gets better! In this Agenda 21 it also wants to create “Exclusive Economic Zones” on coastal areas in order to manage the “development and conservation of natural resources” (<a href="http://www.johannesburgsummit.org/html/basicinfo/agenda21.htm">http://www.johannesburgsummit.org/html/basicinfo/agenda21.htm</a>) that means if your business or home conflicts with the “Exclusive Economic Zones” you will be out of luck-kiss your business and/or home goodbye because it will be removed.  Plus, the Agenda 21 will give control to the United Nations over all oceans including marine life and fishing businesses, also control of freshwater resources and making sure to penalize “polluters” like you and me or a cow for just taking a crap.  On top of this control of freshwater resources will come a control of how much freshwater a business or home can consume (Section II, Chapter 18 of Agenda 21). </p>
<p>If Agenda 21 is embraced by the United States (we already have embraced “sustainable development” in our cities and in our agriculture -<a href="http://www.usda.gov/oce/sustainable/background.htm">http://www.usda.gov/oce/sustainable/background.htm</a>)  the standard of living will fail due to all the American tax money and a certain percentage of the GNP (gross national product) that will be given to the United Nations to implement all the rules and regulations which in turn will become international law which will result in One World Government by the United Nations.  Any country with a government and/or constitution will become a “puppet government” controlled by the United Nations and the freedoms we enjoy as Americans will be no more.</p>
<p> I encourage everybody who reads this article to read for themselves what Agenda 21 by the United Nations will mean for this great country of ours at: <a href="http://www.johannesburgsummit.org/html/basicinfo/agenda21.htm">http://www.johannesburgsummit.org/html/basicinfo/agenda21.htm</a>.  It will be very eye opening and disturbing, we must make sure this never gets into law in this country.  We are the United States of America let us keep it that way! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span style="font-size: large">AMERICA’S LITTLE SWEETHEART</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large"><img src="http://mylifeofcrime.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/caylee-green-dress.jpg" alt="" width="166" height="189" /></span></div>
<p>During the Great Depression, people in America were comforted and encouraged<br />
by the joyous antics of a little girl. Shirley Temple danced and sang her way into<br />
America’s heart in a time of national grave concerns and emotional need.</p>
<div>What a gift from God she was! Spirits were lifted, cares temporarily relieved,<br />
at the sight of her beautiful innocence. A baby, a little girl; just what the doctor ordered.</div>
<div>Once again, America has embraced the innocent beauty of a little sweetheart. Our<br />
hearts have been taken by a small girl with liquid eyes and the soft brown curls of</div>
<div>babyhood. One problem: our little darling, our little Caylee Marie Anthony, is dead.</div>
<div>Unemployment is high, financial security threatened for many. Troubles and<br />
danger seem to surround, and even the weather wreaks havoc around the world.<br />
Fears have risen, worries abound, as families across the nation see their future at risk.</div>
<div>But innocence has taken a blow. American morals have suffered, faith is publicly<br />
questioned and slighted. Many of our youth are adrift, lacking the national oversight<br />
and guidance to trust in God, and display an honest character.</div>
<div>dreams and heroes and noble aspirations to replace the unprincipled,<br />
shallow, self-obsessed existence they see offered to them now.</div>
<div>And it shows. The influence of self-centered, vain Hollywood and a Paris Hilton<br />
mentality, have worked together to create a culture that surrounds our children.<br />
Longing for the high life, being short sighted and selfish, lacking eternal vision;<br />
these are the traits that have infected our children. These may even have been<br />
the underlying factors that led to the unhappy demise of our darling,<br />
little Caylee Anthony.</div>
<div>On the political stage, the Barney Franks, Representatives Weiner,<br />
the Bill Clintons, the Kennedys, and others of like morality, have<br />
hastened the rush along this downward path. Infidelity, immorality,<br />
even depravity, have been excused for the sake of political expediency.</div>
<p>There comes a time when reasoning, caring people have to say, “Enough”.<br />
A return, a restoration, a revival, are needed. How much farther<br />
should we sink, how many more innocents must we lose? How much<br />
more suffering must our children endure as they grow towards adulthood<br />
and pay the consequences of the narcissistic path they are offered, which<br />
leads only to pain and harm?</p>
<p>We have a darling. She is gone, residing now in a place of eternal comfort<br />
and care. For her sake, for America’s sake, for the sake of our youth, we must<br />
return to our godly roots. Once we looked to our Creator. We must do so again.<br />
We must make changes through our contrite prayers, through our<br />
works and actions, through the voting booth, through giving our<br />
children an education that includes teachings about liberty and<br />
America’s godly heritage and history, so our children are given</p>
<p>Rest in peace, our little sweetheart, Caylee. You are loved.<br />
May we do better by future children. Let America awake,<br />
rise up, and become the nation of hope that we are called to be;<br />
a light on the hill, a respite to the lure of selfishness; a place of hope<br />
and love, where children will learn at home, at school, at church,<br />
and from our national leaders, the joy of growing up free, and living<br />
not for self, but for one another.</p>
<p>A first step in the right direction was taken at the voting booths<br />
in 2010, a step towards sanity and accountability. Take a look at our<br />
American Constitution and see who honors it and who does not,<br />
and choose those who will defend it and reaffirm our noble history.<br />
Look for politicians who have 24,000 pages of emails in the public arena<br />
without scandal, and put them into office, or others of like character.<br />
Let Congress make no law to establish or interfere with our prayers or<br />
comments of reverence for God and faith. Pray for our soldiers, for<br />
liberty world-wide. If this be revival, so be it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> There have been so many jabs at Anthony Weiner from the size of his penis to his rather pathetic body build; that nobody has thought of the impact of this whole scandal on the future Baby Weiner.  Seriously, this baby is going to born into a nightmare to even start with.  How would you like your Dad to be known as the weirdo who took pictures of his penis and body and sent it to strange women over the internet and he is suppose to be a respected Congressman?  Would Baby Weiner even want to be alone with his/her  Dad?  How could a child even trust a parent after knowing all this? It is not like you can hide it from the child forever!</p>
<p>I think it is time for Anthony Weiner to stop thinking of his career and how he can wiggle out o<a href="http://www.stumpreport.com/150611-the-future-of-baby-weiner"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2650" src="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/white-house-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="148" height="158" /></a>f this one and start thinking about his baby!  It is time to “man up” and take responsibility for his actions and stop waiting for his wife Huma Abedin to make the decision for him.  It is time for Anthony Weiner to resign, plain and simple.  He will never be cured of this problem and it is a proven fact! Once a sex freak always a sex freak!  Just like an alcoholic, drug addict, or even an anorexic!</p>
<p>The liberal media have gone along with the games that Anthony Weiner has been playing to lying that somebody hacked into his Twitter account to not warning everybody there were more pictures out there that were worse.  All the liberal media has thought about is protecting Anthony Weiner and the only thing he worries about is his career.  Again Baby Weiner is getting ignored in all this.  This cloud will follow this child forever and the only way to help break up that cloud is by Anthony Weiner “manning up” to what he did, get help, and resign, period. </p>
<p>If this was a conservative or independent who pulled this kind of unethical, immoral crap, the liberal media and the democrats (especially Nancy Pelosi) would be demanding his or her head on platter-resign now or else!  Why is the liberal media being so nice to Anthony Weiner?  This is such an embarrassment to this country but an embarrassment to Baby Weiner and this baby is not even born yet. How can a man serve in the House of Representatives with such unethical, immoral behavior?  This is not setting a positive example for Baby Weiner to follow or any kid for that matter. </p>
<p>But maybe in the end what really needs to happen is Anthony Weiner’s wife Huma Abedin needs to protect her baby the best way possible-divorce the schmuck and make sure Anthony Weiner never can be alone with Baby Weiner!  This way Baby Weiner has a chance not to be too screwed up and be able to live a normal life without worrying if his/her Dad will take nasty photos and post them on the internet.   Anthony Weiner if you give a crap about your unborn baby-then RESIGN!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stumpreport.com/509011-stupidity-continues-in-Washington"></a><a href="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/usc1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6186" title="usc1" src="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/usc1.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="240" /></a>As I watched Obama take his victory run around Washington D.C. and then to Ground Zero in New York City, I was sickened at the stupidity of this administration.  I was so sickened by the stupidity that I could not even watch Obama’s speech given at the firehouse where 15 brave men gave their lives to help others in trouble on that fateful day September 11, 2001.  As the Obama administration and Washington take their little victory laps/photo ops- for the killing/extermination of Usama Bin Laden; you need to ask yourself: Is United States better off now that Usama Bin Laden is dead?</p>
<p>First, did the killing/extermination take care of all the terroristic threats to our country and the world?  Heck no!  There are thousands of terrorist already that are changing plans and phone numbers as our stupid president and his administration leak important details to the media of how we found Usama Bin Laden, what we found in his compound in Pakistan, and the interrogation used to retrieve this important information. This is not including the fact that in many ways UBL was a has been in the terrorists world-there are younger and bolder terrorists who have already taken his place.  Plus, this has done nothing to break up al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and the newest threat the Muslim Brotherhood.  The threat of terrorism against the United States, its allies, and Christians and Jews are still real and is even higher than before UBL was killed/exterminated.</p>
<p>Second, did the killing/extermination of UBL take care of the United States debt and ailing economy?  Not on your life!  The United States debt still grows and the stupidity in Washington continues as the Obama administration meets with China in Washington to tell them how to take care of their economy-no joke!  On top of this, the economy still is bleeding jobs at over 400,000 a week, oil prices continue to rise along with inflation.  Plus, the housing market continues to go down the drain as the value of homes decrease and the number of foreclosures increase.  Nothing has changed.</p>
<p>Third, did the killing/extermination of UBL take care of the influx of illegal aliens, violence from the Mexican drug cartels, the killing of Americans on American soil, and terrorists crossing the southern border of the United States? Not even close!  The border battle still rages on as the stupidity of Washington continues to ignore the problem.  The U. S. Border Patrol is not even getting support to fight for our border and more Americans are getting killed, plus the Obama administration has closed down a portion of the United States in order to “allow” drug cartels to smuggle drugs and humans.  Plus, the U.S. Border Patrol is getting told to not arrest any illegal aliens unless they are a major threat to society-say what?</p>
<p> It is time to get serious!  All the victory laps/photo ops that Obama and the administration take has not solved any of the problems plaguing the United States.  First let us put credit where credit is due!  This goes to the CIA and their “enhanced interrogations” and the U.S. Navy Seals-take that Obama and Holder!  Next, time to lay out a plan to lower the deficit and pay off our debt to China, cut taxes and entitlements, put Americans back to work, clean up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac then put it back into private hands, get out of the bank and car business, lay out a comprehensive plan to convert to alternative energy, cut subsidies to farmers, oil companies and alternative energy companies and stop being a country of consumers and more of a country of manufacturers/producers.  The stupidity in Washington has to stop before it is too late!</p>
