"Generic Congressional Ballot – Latest Generic Ballot Shows
Republicans and Democrats in a Dead Heat"

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_ameri…

Tuesday, April 14, 2009
Support for Democratic Congressional candidates hit a new low this
week, resulting in a tie between Republicans and Democrats in the
latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 38% would
vote for their district’s Democratic candidate while 38% would choose
the Republican.
Support for the Democrats fell two points this week, while support for
the GOP candidates fell one point. Last week, the Democrats were ahead
by just a 40% to 39% margin.
A month ago, Republicans took a two-point lead over Democrats, their
first in several years, but that quickly reversed the following week.
For the last three weeks, the Democrats have held modest one to four-
point leads over the GOP.
Democrats began the year holding a six- or seven-point lead over the
GOP for the first several weeks of 2009. Over the past year,
Democratic support has ranged from a low of 38% to a high of 50%.
In that same time period, Republicans have been preferred by 34% to
41% of voters nationwide.

polls). Rasmussen Reports updates also available on Twitter.
Men favor the GOP by a 42% to 34% margin, while women prefer Democrats
42% to 35%.
Recent Rasmussen polling shows Republicans have also closed the gap
with Democrats when it comes to voter trust on key issues.
Forty-five percent (45%) of Americans say most individuals get
involved in politics to protect themselves from the government.
Voters remain consistent with their opinions on federal bailouts, with
76% who oppose the government bailing out ailing life insurance
companies.

Take Hold Of My Strength

Strength found in the freedom of others;
Peace bound in the hands of our brothers.
For us to keep it and water it every day;
Peace then the freedom will be on the way.

Isaiah 27
27:5 Or let him take hold of my strength,
that he may make peace with me;
and he shall make peace with me.

Hope you are happy, whole, or on your way….
in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritûs Sancti — Amen

The president always claimed that he was true blue… but his eyes were
purely pink, through and through.

The Dalmatian turned and growled a little at the man at the end of his leash
struggling to keep up.  They’d been trotting for hours along the blooming
cherry tree lanes of Washington, D.C.

The Dalmatian stopped at a public restroom, and hung his leash on a nearby
post.  The man patiently stood by.  Just as the Dalmatian was about to
enter, a German Shepherd bounded in front and blocked the way, though
dipping his tail slightly in respect.  The Dalmatian stopped.

Half of the other German Shepherds who had been following the morning jog,
joined and stormed into the restroom.  Instantly there was a loud commotion.
Out fled a dachshund with little legs flying, a couple of mutts, a tabby
cat, and one highly offended Persian hissing and spitting vindictives, who
froze at the sight of the Dalmatian.  A humanimal holding a toilet brush and
a bucket, and wearing a suspiciously bulky jacket followed the Persian out
and then began wandering aimlessly away.

The original German Shepherd reappeared before the Dalmatian, tail almost
between his legs, and reported, "All clear, sir.  Sorry for the
inconvenience!"

"It’s okay, Günter.  Thank you," replied the Dalmatian.

As he began passing the pouting Persian – politely ignoring her wild-eyed
and piercing stare – her hair frostily arched and her tail shot straight up
and puffed out as bristly as the humanimal’s toilet brush.

Involuntarily, the Dalmatian lowered his head and took a step toward her.
Then he checked himself, muttering under his dog breath, "Remember who you
are, Spot!"

But when he turned back toward the restroom, the cat let out sudden,
"Khh-hissSSS infidel dog!!"

Dutch TV show exonerates Osama bin Laden

‘Devil’s Advocate’ jury finds no proof he was behind Sept. 11

BERLIN — A Dutch TV jury has found Osama bin Laden not guilty of the
Sept. 11 attacks.

In the conclusion Wednesday night to the show "Devil’s Advocate" on
Dutch public broadcaster Nederland 2, the jury of two men and three
women, along with the studio audience, ruled there was no proof bin
Laden was the mastermind behind the attacks on the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon in 2001.

The Netherlands, home to "Big Brother" creator Endemol, is known for
being on the cutting edge of format-based television. But even for Dutch
standards, "Devil’s Advocate," from Amsterdam production house AVRO,
pushes the envelope.

The show features star defense attorney Gerard Spong standing up for
some of the world’s worst criminals.

In the latest show, Spong was able to convince the jury that bin Laden’s
connection to Sept. 11 was a product of "Western propaganda." The jury
also ruled there was insufficient evidence to prove bin Laden was the
real head of terrorist network al-Qaida. However, the jury did rule that
bin Laden is a "terrorist who has misused Islam."

The show is certain to provide further ammunition in the already heated
Dutch debate over immigration and the country’s large Muslim minority.
The Netherlands saw a sharp rise in anti-immigration and anti-Islamic
sentiment after the 2004 murder of Dutch director Theo Van Gogh by a
Muslim extremist.

Spong has been at the center of the debate, supporting legal action
against anti-immigrant politician Geert Wilders.

Heated Controversy

Do firefighters believe 9/11 conspiracy theories?
By Christopher Beam

Posted Wednesday, April 8, 2009, at 5:18 PM ET

In the new season of the FX drama Rescue Me, firefighter Franco Rivera
espouses the belief that 9/11 was "an inside job." According to a Sunday
New York Times article, the show’s writers added this assertion because
actor Daniel Sunjata is a "truther"; but the real firefighters on
set—who work as script advisers—were offended by his allegations. This
got the Explainer wondering: Do any firefighters believe in 9/11
conspiracy theories?

Yes. There’s no evidence that firefighters buy into 9/11 conspiracy
theories at higher rates than the rest of the population. (A 2007 Zogby
poll found that 26 percent of Americans believe the government "let it
happen." A 2006 Scripps-Howard poll found it was more than a third.) But
some firemen do believe the government was behind 9/11 and use their
status as first responders to draw attention to their statements.

The most common conspiracy theory held by firefighters is that the Twin
Towers—as well as a third building, 7 World Trade Center—collapsed not
because planes crashed into them but due to a "controlled demolition."
On Sept. 11, an NBC reporter quoted New York Fire Department Chief of
Safety Albert Turi as saying he believed there were explosives planted
in one of the towers. After the attacks, the New York Fire Department
interviewed firefighters to create an oral history of 9/11. These
tapes—which were not released until 2005—contain numerous references to
explosions heard just before the buildings fell. Firefighters for 9/11
Truth, a Web site started in 2008, says the government destroyed
evidence that 7 World Trade Center was blown up and hosts a petition
asking Congress to look into the possibility that "exotic accelerants"
destroyed the buildings. (The National Institute of Standards and
Technology, which investigated the collapse of 7 World Trade Center,
concluded that "blast events inside the building did not occur and found
no evidence supporting the existence of a blast event.")

Another common theory is that federal agents found three of the planes’
four black boxes and then hid or destroyed them because they contained
incriminating evidence. Nicholas DeMasi, a firefighter formerly with
Engine Company 261 in Queens, was quoted in a 2003 book saying that he
was there when federal agents made the discovery. Another first
responder corroborated his account. Although his allegations are
contradicted by The 9/11 Commission Report, which says the boxes were
never found, many truthers choose to believe there was a cover-up.

Do other professions marshal their own expertise to poke holes in the
official story? Absolutely. Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth
point to the physics of the towers’ collapse—its "free fall" pace, the
"lateral ejection" of steel, the "mid-air pulverization of concrete"—as
evidence that they could not have fallen exclusively because of the
planes’ impact. Pilots for 9/11 Truth have their own set of theories
that focus on the planes’ black boxes and flight paths, arguing, for
example, that the hijackers of American Airlines Flight 77 would have
had to perform an extremely difficult aerial maneuver to hit the
Pentagon where they did. Lawyers for 9/11 Truth conclude that the 9/11
Commission investigation was inadequate. There’s also Scholars for 9/11
Truth and Justice (not to be confused with its rival, Scholars for 9/11
Truth), which tackles scientific aspects of the towers’ collapse, such
as the alleged residue of explosive materials like thermate in the dust
at Ground Zero. One notable group that does not have its own 9/11 truth
group is the police force.

Responding to a heads-up from the courts, the head of the Catholic church in
Ireland has warned his followers that an upcoming report on the extent of
the Catholic church’s practice of pedophilia "will shock us all".
It won’t SURPRISE anyone, of course, because everyone already knows that
Catholics are pedophiles.
But it will SHOCK the Catholics who have worked so hard, and spent so much
money, to keep such reports from ever being compiled.
They truly thought that they would get away with this.

The report will show that for 30 years (’75 to ’04) HUNDREDS of priests were
actively molesting several children each.
The Catholics deny that figure, claiming that it was "slightly more than a
hundred" priests who were molesting the children.

The report, which focused on Dublin, was to be released this week.  However,
during the time between when it was commissioned and when it was completed,
it was discovered that several other cities had similar problems with
Catholic leaders raping their children.  A new investigation into the extent
of Catholic pedophile in these regions is to be commissioned, and will
likely be published simultaneously with the Dublin report.

Still, for every cloud, there is a silver lining – and the death of the
Catholic church in Ireland is our silver lining.
Prior to ’74, the Catholics in Ireland had been constantly at war with
England.
This Catholic war has been going on ever since Henry VIII disavowed the
pope, and established a church of his own.
It increased in violence when the US declared the Catholic militants as
"terrorists".
This war continued – right up until about 10 years ago, when the Irish
people finally realized who their One, True Enemy is.

That’s when the doors to rectories all over Ireland were knocked down, and
the Irish people found their children being raped by the Catholic leaders.

‘US behind recent Iraq bomb attacks’

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 07:42:38 GMT

An Iraqi lawmaker alleges that ‘the occupiers’ are behind the recent
bomb blasts in Iraq basing his claims on the fact that the US has
access to Iraq’s security and intelligence files.

Maha al-Dori, a member of Sadr fraction in the Iraqi parliament
said that "the occupiers are causing disarray in Iraq with aim of
at taking control over the country’s affairs."

Al-Dori, who was speaking to al-Alam on Wednesday, also noted that
Sadr’s anti-occupation movement has called on Iraqis to hold a
demonstration, calling for the occupiers’ – a term referring to
American forces — immediate withdrawal from Iraq.

He added that the demonstration would also urge the release of the
innocent detainees, while protesting at calls for the return of the
Baath party.

Citing that the escalating violence in the country is coinciding
with the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq, the Sadrist lawmaker
said that ‘the occupiers’ are responsible for the insecurity, linking
the recent blast to American forces.

Bomb explosions have left tens of Iraqis dead and wounded over the
past few weeks. The escalated violence followed a period of relative
calm in late 2008, after an agreement between Washington and Baghdad
set a deadline for the withdrawal of US troops.

The Bush administration and Iraq finalized an interim security deal
in November that will see all US troops stationed in the oil-rich
country removed by the end of 2011.

Under the deal, which needs to be put to a referendum in July 2009,
US forces must also leave Iraqi cities by the end of June 2009.
