Jim Schubert – TheCoreReport.com – 08/16/10 – Well my fellow Americans, this is truly a sad day for our great Free Nation. Our commander in chief has sold us out to his ideology. Furthermore, it’s official; the highly controversial “9/11 Ground Zero Mosque” is now Obama’s Mosque as well as the entire democratic party, progressives and the Obama mania media networks. None of them will escape the public back-lash resulting from this outrageous act of  anti-Americanism.

Is this really an act of bridging and healing relationships or pure defiance. The  original name for this mosque was to be called The Cordoba House (do the research on this name)but after so much backlash, they changed it to a more acceptable, NY Style American name…now it’s Park 51 Community. The majority of Americans are opposed to building this mosque so close to Ground Zero, for many obvious reasons. Again, we’re not opposed to building a mosque – just Not On Hallowed Ground. Check this out,  a recent  CNN Poll taken just this week states that nearly 70% oppose it ( Fact Check Here – CNN Poll 081110 – refer to Q# 41). Further evidence that there is more to this than outreach, after a “bridge building” attempt by some to meet with the mosque building committee to discuss searching and selecting an alternative sight was flat-out ignored and subsequently denied.

Since announcing his endorsement of the mosque last night at the White House Ramadan kick-off dinner – Obama, shrouded in our Constitution said this in an attempt to align patriotic Americans with his ideology … “But time and again, the American people have demonstrated that we can work through these issues, and stay true to our core values, and emerge stronger for it.

The Core Report – 08-13-10 PHOENIX – The Goldwater Institute filed a lawsuit today to strike down the 2010 federal health care reforms as a fundamental attack on individual freedom and the rights guaranteed to all Americans by the U.S. Constitution.

The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Phoenix is a private challenge to the health care bill championed by President Barack Obama. Arizona and 21 other states are pursuing public lawsuits against the federal law, based in large part on preserving their traditional authority to regulate health insurance. This new lawsuit, known as Coons v. Geithner, argues the federal health care bill exceeds the powers of Congress, violates individual rights, interferes with the authority of states, and violates the separation of powers by setting up a new bureaucracy without meaningful congressional oversight or judicial review.

“This lawsuit is our effort to bring down one of the most sweeping invasions of individual liberty and state sovereignty in American history,” said Clint Bolick, litigation director for the Goldwater Institute. “The federal health care bill is a sledgehammer to solve a problem that needs the precision of a scalpel. This is the most overbearing and intrusive way possible to try to address America’s rising health care costs.” Read Full Press Release and Related Articles

Earlier this week, Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced his intention to eliminate the Virginia-based Joint Services Command, which employs about 6,000 military and civilian workers who account for at least $240 million in the defense budget’s personnel costs. He declared that while some military and civilian employees could be reassigned elsewhere, a substantial number of full-time workers would have to leave the DOD. Gates also explained he would seek cuts elsewhere in the defense budget.

But Senator Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi), a member of the Armed Services Committee, does not think Congress should suggest slashing Defense Department jobs while at the same time wanting to add a misguided additional expense at military health facilities.

“We’re going in the wrong direction in this defense re-authorization bill. There is a provision in the Senate version that would allow abortions in military health facilities, not only for military members, but their families,” the senator reports. “Now if we’re looking to save money, the first thing we need to do is not add additional expenses and additional demands on our healthcare professionals and our facilities by saying that abortion on demand can be performed in our health facilities.”

Wicker feels pro-abortion senators should even understand that it makes no sense to… Read More

‘Ground Zero’ banner hits bump in the road

A national public-interest law firm that defends and promotes America’s Christian values has filed a federal lawsuit against the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) for refusing to place banner ads on city buses that oppose the construction of a mosque at Ground Zero.

The ad in question is sponsored by the Freedom Defense Initiative (FDI), founded by Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer.

On one side, the banner shows a picture of the twin towers aflame with a plane headed toward them. On the opposite side, a tower with the Islamic symbol of the crescent moon and star is displayed. The question “Why There?” is between the two, relating the date of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, with the proposed date of the opening of the mosque on September 11, 2011.

Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), thinks MTA refused to display the ad in its original design because it states the obvious.

“They refused this ad because they said, ‘Well, it seems to make a connection between the World Trade Center attacks and the mosque,’ which is what Pam Geller and Robert Spencer were trying to do,” he explains. “We believe their refusal to put up the ad is a violation of the constitutional rights to free speech.”

Thompson points out that the transit authority… Read More

Washington has stepped up pressure on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to move forward with the resumption of direct talks after 18 months of stalemate. Observers say President Obama is in a full-court press for purely political reasons and desperately needs some kind of foreign policy success before the mid-term elections in November, where the Democrats could take a sound thrashing.

Ben Kinchlow is best known for his years as co-host with Pat Robertson on The 700 Club. Now he is involved in several projects, including Americans for Israel and the African-American Political Awareness Coalition. Read Full Story

Russ Jones – OneNewsNow – 8/10/2010 From Elena Kagan’s nomination and subsequent confirmation to the Supreme Court, to the recent passage healthcare reforms, a sitting congressman says President Obama is the greatest threat to the United States Constitution — and one the nation’s worst enemies.

Rep. Trent Franks (R-Arizona) tells OneNewsNow that America’s enemy is not as much outside itself, but within its own borders. “It’s always the water on the inside of the ship that’s sinks it,” he says. “And Barack Obama, I have to tell you, is water on the inside of the ship of America.”

The Republican lawmaker further claims Obama’s appointments to the Supreme Court pose the greatest threat to the fundamental beliefs and way of life for most U.S. citizens.

“I don’t know if there’s anything happening in America that is more dangerous to the foundation of the republic than appointments by Barack Obama to the bench,” he laments.

Franks is not alone in his criticism. Former Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo (Colorado) recently said on ABC News the progressive-liberal movement poses a bigger threat to the U.S. than does al-Qaeda or Iran.
