The WND headline reads that Obama blames Bush for the current state of affairs of the U.S.: huge budget deficits, two wars and frayed alliances around the world.

If he would have us believe, as he campaigned, that he is the ONE who will bring change, then why, in his first 10 months, did he not bring all the troops home?  That would have brought a two-fold accomplishment. He could have greatly reduced the huge budget deficit with the monies saved on the wars.  If he had not been so quick to spend money we don't have and further put us in the red by enacting the TARP and stimulus bills, then our budget deficit would have decreased further.

He has turned "frayed alliances" into whoring with our enemies and has fomented antagonism between the U.S. and our former allies.

A wise, mature person of integrity takes responsibility for his actions. While I don't agree 100 percent with George Bush's leadership, Obama has no one to blame but himself for the mess we are in. His words and his suit are empty!

First of all, let me say that I am a patriot. I support America! I support our men and women overseas! However, I must say that the recent massacre at Fort Hood is this country's fault. Why? If we would keep our bloody noses out of everyone else's business, i.e., get the hell out of Afghanistan and Iraq, we wouldn't be having all these terrorist attacks. They don't want us there, plain and simple. Those countries have thousands of years of their own traditions, and they don't want our brand of "democracy" rammed down their throats. We spend billions and billion of dollars keeping the U.S. military in those countries – and for what? We haven't accomplished a damn thing except getting more of our boys killed.

All those dollars spent in fighting a useless "war" should be kept at home for the welfare of our own people. If that's un-American, than I feel sorry for all those who support this outrageous foray into "nation building."

Gareth Paul Betts

Of course B.O. doesn't want anybody to jump to conclusions about the Fort Hood murders. We have to embrace diversity and look at it from Hasan's point of view. It's the Army's fault because they were so uncaring and thoughtless to want to send him, who voluntarily took the oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, to serve his country against a terrorist menace.

Come on now, where is your sensitivity? When Hasan recovers from the wounds received from that brainwashed infidel police officer, B.O. will probably invite him to the White House for a state dinner and publicly apologize for forcing him to express his reticence in serving the country against his peaceful Muslim brethren.

David Redmond

My question for all of Americans to ponder is this: Why would God continue blessing America for her continued moral and spiritual bankruptcy? And, of course, the answer is He wouldn't.

Our country is under the judgment of God right now because the nation as a whole has abandoned Him and His precepts instead of letting Christ be the Lord of our lives.

What so many Americans don't seem to understand is that our political corruption is the result of our spiritual and moral corruption, not vice versa. Until we as a nation get to the root of what caused our political corruption, we will continue marching down the path we are presently on.  

We can participate in tea party rallies, march in the streets of Washington, send faxes, call our representatives and express our anger and our concerns until the "cows come home," but if we ignore the real cause of our political corruption and don't repent, turn from our spiritual and moral bankruptcy, and turn back to obeying the precepts of our Lord and our God, we are going to remain under the judgment and chastisement of our creator.  

God is giving us time to repent and turn back to Him. If we will do this, God will raise up leaders that have godly characters and who love good and hate evil, who love America, the Constitution and all that America has stood for in the past – and He will use these leaders to begin the healing of our nation.

Thanks for your great article on Planned Parenthood. I would like to suggest you and WorldNetDaily consider changing your vocabulary a little on a significant point. 

I believe it would be good to avoid using the loaded term "abortion clinic."  A clinic is a good place people go to get well or get help to maintain their health.  An abortion "clinic" is the opposite. 

Abortion proponents skillfully promote misleading terminology to tone down reality to something socially acceptable.  For example, they say they are not about killing but rather providing choices and giving women more freedom.  Much of their public-relations strategy is based on deception.

You are likely aware that some others have similarly used misleading terminology to promote evil.  For example, the Nazis endorsed Jewish "resettlement in the East," "work makes free," and like slogans to hide the reality of the Holocaust.

Some possible alternative terms are "abortuary" and "abortion mill."

Keep up the good work.

I didn't understand why AARP would support Obamacare until I saw their latest commercial. AARP offers supplemental insurance for Medicare. When Obamacare cuts billions out of Medicare, guess what? A need for more supplemental insurance.

AARP is sticking it to seniors to line their own pockets!

I can understand the push-back against a government health-care package – if done incorrectly it can spell disaster for both the consumer and the country. But what I don't understand is, why was there never this much attention to another unread bill? The Patriot Act was barely read by any member of Congress, yet other than Michael Moore making a scene about it, I don't remember this level of protest being waged. The Patriot Act did more to dismantle the Constitution then the health-care bill ever will. Why the hoopla now?

I would rather take a broken health-care system than a government bug in my phone.

I admire the work of John Stossel. Thank you for including him in your site. At the bottom of his columns, there appears a line which reads:

Like this columnist? Would you like to see him in your local newspaper? Call your local editor.

Umm … because I like columnists like him, I don't have a local newspaper. I like honesty! I like investigative journalism! I like WND, Drudge, NewsBusters. Especially weird (by "their" standards), I don't even own a TV! I haven't owned a TV for at least 10 years. I do, however, read an average of 25 books per year.

The coolest thing about online journalism, like WND, is that you can confirm or deny anything within minutes with a little additional research. It is stunning that the standard news outlets think they have the corner on information and that if you see the holes in their arguments you are illiterate. They look, to me, like such fools. It is as if they are saying (in unison), "If you don't agree with me, you are illiterate. If I don't know something, it can't be true!"

Please fumigate Pat Boone off the pages of WorldNetDaily. He is inciting violence again our democratically elected president. This is treason and should not be given a platform.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik pleaded guilty Thursday to lying to the White House and tax crimes in a deal that could send him to prison for about two and a half years.

Let me get this straight. … Lying TO the White House is called a "federal crime."

Lies FROM the White House is called "policy," "spin," "campaigning," "a briefing."

Chris

As to Bob McMillian's scary e-mail to the editor [Oct. 30]:

He is a typical example of his generation. The only people or things that matter to him are those that will – or will not – improve his place in life or his pleasure.

Forget his rambling on about saving thousands of lives. Only his life counts, and if using human cells may one day benefit him, then he's all for it.

If you are 50 or older, you need to fear him and his ilk, for they will toss you out with the trash if you start imposing – in any way – on their endless pursuit of pleasure and comfort. You can see this mindset in Obamacare, where they intend to take funds away from Medicare to pay for those who think they don't need health insurance and refuse to buy it.

This short-term thinking, self-absorbed kind of individual gives no thought to the reality that what they create today they will experience firsthand in their later years.

It would be most interesting to be around to watch when people like Bob McMillian grow old – and they will – and are in turn thrown away by an even more self-centered younger generation that will consider them as nothing more than excess baggage.

You really can't blame Mr. McMillian for his views; he's been spoon-fed them his entire life. But you must wonder when – if ever – he will start thinking for himself.

If slavery can be defined as a lack of free choice, then the real purpose of the Obamacare plan is to enslave Americans. There is no opting out, just a huge personal head tax – which, by the way, is not an apportioned tax to the several States. It makes people property, either by enrollment or by taxation!

With all power settled in the hands of the bureaucrats, we will also see: forced medical exams, forced psychological evaluations, forced medication, forced incarceration … these are all the result of making people property of the State.

The framers of the Constitution did not just complain about the oppression, they pledged their property and lives to the cause of liberty. Do Americans have that resolve today?

George Gabler

I channel-surfed the major cable news networks Tuesday, election night, to observe their reporting on the results. Only one network carried Corzine's concession speech and Christie's acceptance speech live – Fox News. CNN, MSNBC, et al. were too busy reporting less important things. Yet these same networks cover every live, idiotic utterance spat out by their demigod, B.O. And Fox covers these utterances as well. Just goes to show who's fair and balanced.

Steve Bontje

Your magazine does not merit the use of the title Whistleblower – you are political hacks, not whistleblowers. Genuine whistleblowers expose corruption and do the right thing no matter what the consequences. They are not in it for politics; they frankly are politically neutral.

How do I know? I am a whistleblower – it cost me a lot in life, but once you do it, you cannot tolerate corruption the next time you stumble on it.

Roger W. Helbig

I'm not sure I really understand the new hate-crimes law.

Isn't a rape victim the victim of someone's hate? Isn't the poor old lady mugged in a parking lot a victim of hate? It certainly isn't love motivating the attacker. Isn't the kid in school who is harassed and beat up by bullies a victim of hate crime? So what makes someone's sexual preference a higher being than the normal human?

Many, many years ago, when I attended school, kids would get picked on or beat up just over what someone thought was a dumb hairdo or clothing. So should there be a hate-crimes bill for people who aren't up to par in fashion? What is this garbage? Crime is crime period, no matter who it is instigated against. We already have laws for harassment and assault, etc., so what makes the sexual preference of an individual deserving of a special law enacted for them?

To be safe, we should enact a hate-crimes bill for heterosexuals, just to be on the safe side. It's not fair that one group of people get special attention but not the other.

I recently came to understand that Peter Vadala, a Massachusetts man, has been fired from his sales position at Brookstone (Logan Airport location) in Boston allegedly for telling a female manager who was imposing her lesbian views on him that his Christian faith says homosexuality is wrong. Apparently, Mr. Vadala was fired – in America – for expressing an opinion – in America!

How far this nation has descended. Anyone who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ as part of the Holy Trinity cannot deny that homosexuality is a total abomination in the sight of God. Firing a person for engaging in freedom of speech – in particular, defending his Christian faith – is tantamount to declaring hostility toward all Christians. Allowing people to affirmatively express their abominations to Christians but not allowing Christians to respond openly in defense of their faith or to freely exercise their religion not only violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution but violates equal protection.

The United States Constitution does not recognize homosexual marriages but does adamantly protect the free exercise of religion, Christianity in particular, under the very first amendment. While I understand that Brookstone is not a government entity and not necessarily subject to constitutional limitations on the exercise of private rights and privileges, one would think the spirit of the Constitution would be honored by those who believe in it – most especially in Massachusetts. Does Brookstone believe in the U.S. Constitution?

Reverse discrimination is just as invidious as "discrimination." Private suppression of free speech is as bad as government suppression and censorship. The behavior you are tolerating is the horrific hatred that this country seeks to ascend from. It is hate in response to perceived hate. Hate solves nothing, and acts of hatred engender more hatred. It is prolific. History cannot be changed and "affirmative" policies cannot undo what has occurred, but "affirmative" policies can polarize the body politic and create more resistance to the very goals to which you aspire. The free marketplace of ideas will test the viability of ideas and help to educate and resolve a voting public. Censorship, extortion and deception never do. Mr. Vadala's freedom of religious expression and political expression should not only be tolerated but protected.

It is my hope that Brookstone will investigate the termination of Mr. Vadala at Logan Airport. In particular, the "investigation" should be investigated. What fact finding took place before the termination? Was Mr. Vadala given a due-process right to respond before a decision was made? Was he given the right to confront his accuser and cross-examine her? Was her word simply accepted but not his? Was he afforded the opportunity to present his own witnesses and evidence as to who committed the provocation? Was he given a presumption of innocence? But most importantly – even if all the accusations are true, can his termination be justified? From the tactics employed to terminate him and the labels attached to him without the necessary factual support to constitute "conclusions," Mr. Vadala's termination seems to be an emotional reaction on the part of someone who is ardently pro-homosexual.

If freedom of speech, equal protection and due process are useless concepts, then why have so many for so long been willing to die to protect them? If you agree that they are essential to quality of life, then shouldn't you employ them privately?

If we are to be the land of the free and home of the brave, then we must be brave enough to let our brethren be free to speak out.

T.W. Cresswell

[To Pat Buchanan:] With the track record you outline in your latest article, of this country betraying our allies, one has to wonder when the Obamanistas will start claiming that Prime Minister Netanyahu's government is corrupt. There certainly can't be much of a meeting of the minds between Obama and Bibi. Bibi probably feels that dealing with Obama is like having a Palestinian Hamas member to dinner.

Bob Stille

After seeing how the lame-stream media all but ignored the tea party rallies and their unprecedented march on D.C., it is unlikely that this approach will work to influence policymakers and legislators in Washington to abandon their outrageous health-care and other big-government schemes. I would advise that you should advocate taking the approach recommended by Rep. Barney Frank. Frank told the AP he considers such demonstrations to be "an emotional release" that does little to pressure Congress and would rather see supporters lobbying their elected officials than marching in Washington. He added demonstrations were "a waste of time at best" that does little to pressure Congress.

Making our voices heard loud and clear should consist of a call to e-mail, phone, and snail mail elected representatives on specific dates to overwhelm their system. This should not only include direct representatives, but leaders of both legislative houses and the White House. Members of Congress that are willing to accept campaign contributions from people outside their districts should be equally ready to answer to people outside their districts.

M.J. Lewis

Mr. Farah, your idea of Americans coming to Washington on Thursday to stop Pelosi's health-care plan is a great one. However, I don't think it will work, because Obama will leave town and the media (except for Fox News) won't report a word about it.

B.J.

Concerning the column written by John Eidsmoe and Ben DuPré, I can only say, "Finally! There's someone else out there who gets it!"

In presidents, greatness is defined by how those individuals live up to their oath of office and maintain the purity of our form of government that they will eventually pass along to a successor. George W. Bush literally stole power and passed it onto a socialist who is taking advantage of those violations to advance his own unconstitutional agenda.

True greatness is accompanied by humility. You might reach back to Reagan to see that, but I think you have to go all the way back to Grover Cleveland to find the last president who truly understood his oath, duty and responsibilities as the chief executive.

Jeff Adams

The talking heads like Bill O'Reilly have every reason to belittle "birthers." Just think what is going to happen to their credibility once it is proven that not only is Obama not a natural born citizen, but he's not even a citizen of the U.S. Obama has every reason to keep all of his records sealed. How else can he keep his fraudulent election secret? There is a saying though: The truth will find you out. And it will – and Barry Soetero knows it. No wonder he's looking like a walking skeleton.

Richard Allen

Dear Mr. Farah,

I applaud your tenacity in pursuing the issue of Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to be president. Like yourself, when I watch Fox News address the issue, my frustration level rises to exploding point. The fact that Bill O'Reilly, et al., accept that the certification of live birth and the two newspaper announcements is sufficient evidence drives me absolutely crazy. Are they stupid – or complicit?

I've sent emails to O'Reilly and others, even Glenn Beck, whom I believe has a larger amount of testosterone than O'Reilly, in the hopes that maybe my comments, as well as others, might actually drive these individuals to pursue the truth. Obviously, this has failed. O'Reilly is sickeningly soft on Obama, constantly giving him the benefit of the doubt. At what point will he accept that Obama is truly dangerous to the welfare of America, and that proving his ineligibility is one way of stopping him?

Mr. Farah, what do the "little people" like myself do to wake up these lazy, "frightened of losing their ratings/paycheck" journalists/commentators?

Please continue your fight. There are millions of us behind you.

Mary Lyons-Watson

I just read your "A Halloween media nightmare story." What I have to say is "Hooray for you, Joseph Farah!"

My husband and I thank God for WorldNetDaily! WND is our source of information. Please, please, keep standing strong and telling the truth! All around us our country is giving in to compromise and turning away from what this country used to stand on.

We are in our late 70s. We've seen and heard a lot. We love our country. You are our only remaining voice. You are in our daily prayers, you and your staff and your family. We have read the end of The Book and we know who wins. We, and you, will not stand before our God ashamed.

Thanks for that report on Ron Paul's "Audit the Fed" bill getting an unwanted abortion. I had high hopes for that bill giving the dollar back to Americans.

One good thing comes out of it, though. We get that Ron Paul is for us, and Mel Watt is against us. Take note, blowoutcongress.com!

Rep. Watt had better dust off his resume.

Hi Joseph Farah,

I just finished reading our article "A Halloween media nightmare story," and it was great!

I have been a daily reader of WND since I discovered it almost a year ago. I love it! WND is where I get most of my news. I use it like a measuring stick and a fact-checker for all other news I hear.

I like to listen and read news from all sides. I listen to the liberal side just to hear the lies that they are telling people and that so many believe. I compare those lies to the truth that I find here, and I am amazed at how far they will go with the lies they tell.

About the Halloween article, I am so happy and excited to hear that you are going on the offensive when it comes to these fake, lying, deceiving news organizations. I feel like I am rooting for the "home team" the way I got pumped up when you said "Consider this a shot across the bow."

Hopefully you can get some of the MSM to start actually reporting the truth because this is truly a scary time for America, the way the Obama administration has such control and is taking more control over everything, including the media. Without sites like yours, America and the world would be in the dark on what is happening. I fully believe it is no less than a fascist takeover of America and the world.

Thank you and the rest of the people at WND for your hard work spreading the truth. When it comes to the mainstream media, go get them! Show no mercy!

Steve

Dear Mr. Farah,

It was with great relish that I read your column titled, "A Halloween media nightmare story," where you announced that you will forthwith take on the scalawags who purport to be journalists or commentators. I listen to several conservative talk shows and am constantly frustrated with their lack of knowledge of current events and apparent disinterest in spending the effort to learn the truth. They can be just as arrogant as any liberal. I can't tolerate O'Reilly anymore. His ego is just too inflated with blather.

Ironically, last night I threw caution to the wind and expressed my displeasure with the parasites of my country who whine for their daily wants and needs at my expense, both legal and illegal, in a local area newspaper. I haven't read yet this morning if the editor allowed them to be printed, but I will carry on because our cause is just and dire.

Liberals are not progressive. They are retro pinheads, groomed in the last 50 years.

Thank you for your strong statement and your courage.

Ethel Brost

America is waking up and getting fed up with the direction in which this country is heading, but the only solution to throwing the bums out of Congress next election is to have a truly conservative candidate running on a third-party slate. Whether you call it the Constitution Party, the Conservative Party, the Independent Party or the People's Party, it will only work as long as the candidate running is a true conservative who wants to take America back to the grand republic it once was.

The problem with our two-party system is the Republicans are now just two steps behind the liberal, socialist Democrats, and the people are forced to vote for the lesser of the two evils. Even if you don't like your current Republican representative, voting for a Democrat running against him is like jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

A third-party candidate is the only answer to not electing the same old, same old. We can dig ourselves out of this hole we're in if America will get behind a third-party candidate and get some new blood on Capitol Hill.

It is wonderful that there are movements in 32 states to declare our unborn children "persons" under the law, yet it is a stain on America that this has to be done. Since the Roe v. Wade ruling in 1973 was based on a falsehood, it would seem that it could be overturned easily on that fact, but I guess that is not so.

My husband and I became very involved with the Right to Life movement in 1975, and we had our third daughter that year. It has been amazing to me that so-called "intelligent" women could believe they are carrying anything but a person in their wombs, but this has not been only about the killing of our unborn babies; rather, it has been a huge part of an ongoing agenda by those who would eradicate the family, Christianity and morality in America – to take America down to the level of dependency, poverty and total subservience to a god other than our Creator God.

But then, Satanism is the core of the secular isms that exist today, and Satan knows that his days are numbered. Since misery loves company, he has recruited many converts to his side to go down with him.

We must stand for right, no matter what the consequences. The right for our unborn children to live is the most important one. Many say that I should not be a one-issue voter, but the first question I ask of a candidate is whether or not he or she is pro-life. If not, my name goes on the line, and I check the square so no other name can be placed there.
