When the National Right to Life Political Action Committee revealed in August 2008 Obama’s deception about his vote on the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA), he called them liars. The NRLC found and released documented proof of his actual votes on the issues and produced this video for YouTube. They also applied to purchase ad space during Sean Hannity’s radio show on ABC, but ABC Radio Network put a gag on the ad because they say it is “too political”.

Read the quoted material from NRLC:

I am understanding more and more that most of the deceived people in this country do not want to know the real reason why we are having to rescue lending institutions. They only want to stay blinded to the truth so that they can stay loyal to their party and place the blame elsewhere. For those of us who are truth seekers, this 1999 article in the New York Post tells the real reason for our current situation:

Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending

In a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, the Fannie Mae Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders.

The action, which will begin as a pilot program involving 24 banks in 15 markets — including the New York metropolitan region — will encourage those banks to extend home mortgages to individuals whose credit is generally not good enough to qualify for conventional loans. Fannie Mae officials say they hope to make it a nationwide program by next spring.

Fannie Mae, the nation’s biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate income people and felt pressure from stock holders to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits.

In addition, banks, thrift institutions and mortgage companies have been pressing Fannie Mae to help them make more loans to so-called subprime borrowers. These borrowers whose incomes, credit ratings and savings are not good enough to qualify for conventional loans, can only get loans from finance companies that charge much higher interest rates — anywhere from three to four percentage points higher than conventional loans.

”Fannie Mae has expanded home ownership for millions of families in the 1990’s by reducing down payment requirements,” said Franklin D. Raines, Fannie Mae’s chairman and chief executive officer. ”Yet there remain too many borrowers whose credit is just a notch below what our underwriting has required who have been relegated to paying significantly higher mortgage rates in the so-called subprime market.”

Demographic information on these borrowers is sketchy. But at least one study indicates that 18 percent of the loans in the subprime market went to black borrowers, compared to 5 per cent of loans in the conventional loan market.

In moving, even tentatively, into this new area of lending, Fannie Mae is taking on significantly more risk, which may not pose any difficulties during flush economic times. But the government-subsidized corporation may run into trouble in an economic downturn, prompting a government rescue similar to that of the savings and loan industry in the 1980’s.

”From the perspective of many people, including me, this is another thrift industry growing up around us,” said Peter Wallison a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. ”If they fail, the government will have to step up and bail them out the way it stepped up and bailed out the thrift industry.”

Under Fannie Mae’s pilot program, consumers who qualify can secure a mortgage with an interest rate one percentage point above that of a conventional, 30-year fixed rate mortgage of less than $240,000 — a rate that currently averages about 7.76 per cent. If the borrower makes his or her monthly payments on time for two years, the one percentage point premium is dropped.

Fannie Mae, the nation’s biggest underwriter of home mortgages, does not lend money directly to consumers. Instead, it purchases loans that banks make on what is called the secondary market. By expanding the type of loans that it will buy, Fannie Mae is hoping to spur banks to make more loans to people with less-than-stellar credit ratings.

Fannie Mae officials stress that the new mortgages will be extended to all potential borrowers who can qualify for a mortgage. But they add that the move is intended in part to increase the number of minority and low income home owners who tend to have worse credit ratings than non-Hispanic whites.

Home ownership has, in fact, exploded among minorities during the economic boom of the 1990’s. The number of mortgages extended to Hispanic applicants jumped by 87.2 per cent from 1993 to 1998, according to Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies. During that same period the number of African Americans who got mortgages to buy a home increased by 71.9 per cent and the number of Asian Americans by 46.3 per cent.

In contrast, the number of non-Hispanic whites who received loans for homes increased by 31.2 per cent.

Despite these gains, home ownership rates for minorities continue to lag behind non-Hispanic whites, in part because blacks and Hispanics in particular tend to have on average worse credit ratings.

In July, the Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed that by the year 2001, 50 percent of Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s portfolio be made up of loans to low and moderate-income borrowers. Last year, 44 percent of the loans Fannie Mae purchased were from these groups.

The change in policy also comes at the same time that HUD is investigating allegations of racial discrimination in the automated underwriting systems used by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to determine the credit-worthiness of credit applicants.

I would say this speaks to most Americans today who are wise enough to search for the truth and see it when it is presented.

Well, here we are seven years after the horrific al-Qaeda terrorist attacks on our country’s Eastern Coast. We lost nearly 3,000 innocent lives when two hijacked planes dove into the Twin Towers in New York, the third plane tore a huge chunk out of our Pentagon, and those true heroes and heroins on the fourth plane gave their lives in a field in Pennsylvania to stop the attack on the White House. Although it is very sorrowful to recall, we must never forget that day, or our brothers and sisters that are no longer with us because of it.

We must remember and appreciate, as well, our brave President George W. Bush for stepping up amidst all of the negative, demeaning remarks from the left-winged liberals in our country. They showed no confidence in his ability to protect us from further attacks, and, in fact, sounded as if they wished something more would happen so they could say, “We told you so.” In spite of them, he worked endless hours with his administration to fix what was broken and implement security measures and the Patriot Act, among other programs, that have kept us safe since 2001. If we were of a mind to, I suppose we Bush supporters could now say to the naysayers, “We told you so.”

While our main-stream liberal media continue to bash President Bush, even if they have to make something up, where is their recognition that he deserves for having put measures into place that have blocked more attacks from these Islamic extremists? There are few who say we should not have went into Iraq, but those of us with a brain are aware that Hussein was funding and allowing al-Qaeda terrorist training camps there. We also do know that he had weapons of mass distruction, but on the sly while stalling the U.N. inspectors, they were hidden in countries surrounding Iraq.

Let it never be too easy to forget the threat that is out there from these evil radicals that would kill each and every one of us simply because we do not believe as they do. If we were to join some in this country who are in denial about this threat, and think we can reason with these cold-blooded murderers, we might as well kiss our behinds good-bye.

I believe there are more wise and God-fearing Americans who also know that our best choice for our next president is John McCain. He is the only choice we have to keep our “Land of the Free”.

And now I will take a moment of silent prayer for those presious lives lost in all past terrorist attacks, and thank my Heavenly Father for a man like George W. Bush for having put a stop to the attacks for the last seven years…

Or, maybe it was Jesus, or maybe it was both.

I am loving the summer Olympics this year, more than ever before. Of course, the U.S. is doing wonderfully in many areas, but my most favorite of all (besides swimming and Michael Phelps) is volleyball. The U.S. has taken the Gold in the women’s beach volleyball competition, and what a close competition it was between the American team and the Chinese team.

Last night I watched our U.S. men’s beach volleyball competition between Dalhausser and Rogers and the Brazilian team of Fabio and Marcio. We won the first set, neck and neck, at 23 to 21. Brazil won the second set, also neck and neck, at 21 to 17. It was the closest couple of games I have seen in quite some time.

So, here I am sitting on the edge of my couch, chewing my nails, rocking back and forth, praying: “God, please help our guys win.”

The tie-breaking set begins and, WHAM! U.S. is leading by 2, then by 4. Then Brazil gets a point. Then U.S. is leading by 7… I am thinking, “What in the world is going on?! Although, I am very happy this is happening, I cannot help but wonder why did Rogers and Dalhausser not play like this in the first 2 sets?! I was totally dumbfounded at how quickly and efficiently they literally stomped the Brazilians at 15 to 4.

“Okay,” I told myself. “You can breathe now.” As the oxygen was returning to my brain, it dawned on me. I probably was not the only person praying for God to help the U.S. team win. In fact, I would almost bet the farm that there were very many people praying for them.

I also believe that God and Jesus are watching the games with us, and maybe, just maybe volleyball is their favorite sport as well as mine. I think God and Jesus took over Rogers’ and Dalhaussers’ bodies and said, “Hey guys, this is how it is done. Stop goofing off and just do it!”

And that is how the U.S. men’s beach volleyball team took the Gold in the 2008 summer Olympics!

Orange County Newspaper in California is just one more in a growing number of newspapers who will not publish letters to the editor that they either view as politically incorrect, or they do not agree with the propaganda the editors are pushing on the public. This woman wrote a great letter to the editor that should have been published. With ‘the peoples’ help it will get published via cyberspace!

From: ‘David LaBonte’

My wife, Rosemary, wrote a wonderful letter to the editor of the O.C. Register which, of course, was not printed. So, I decided to ‘print’ it myself by sending it out on the Internet. Pass it along if you feel so inclined. Written in response to a series of letters to the editor in the Orange County Register:

Dear Editor:

So many letter writers have based their arguments on how this land is made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one, suggests we should tear down the Statue of Liberty because the people now in question aren’t being treated the same as those who passed through Ellis Island and other ports of entry.

Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people like Mr. Lujan why today’s American is not willing to accept this new kind of immigrant any longer. Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in New York and be documented. Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad times. They made learning English a primary rule in their new American households and some even changed their names to blend in with their new home.

They had waved good bye to their birth place to give their children a new life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into one culture. Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labor laws to protect them. All they had were the skills and craftsmanship they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity.

Most of their children came of age when World War II broke out. My father fought along side men whose parents had come straight over from Germany, Italy, France and Japan. None of these 1st generation Americans ever gave any thought about what country their parents had come from. They were Americans fighting Hitler, Mussolini, and the Emperor of Japan. They were defending the United States of America as one people.

When we liberated France, no one in those villages was looking for the French-American or the German-American or the Irish-American. The people of France saw only Americans. And we carried one flag that represented one country. Not one of those immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country’s flag and waving it to represent who they were. It would have been a disgrace to their parents who had sacrificed so much to be here. Those immigrants truly knew what it meant to be an American. They stirred the melting pot into one red, white, and blue bowl.

And here we are in 2008 with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same rights and privileges. Only they want to achieve it by playing with a different set of rules, one that includes the entitlement card and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country. I’m sorry, that’s not what being an American is all about. I believe that the immigrants who landed on Ellis Island in the early 1900’s deserve better than that for all the toil, hard work and, sacrifice in raising future generations to create a land that has become a beacon for those legally searching for a better life. I think they would be appalled that they are being used as an example by those waving foreign country flags.

And for that suggestion about taking down the Statue of Liberty, it happens to mean a lot to the citizens who are voting on the immigration bill. I wouldn’t start talking about dismantling the United States just yet.

KEEP THIS LETTER MOVING. FOR THE WRONG THINGS TO PREVAIL, THE RIGHTFUL MAJORITY NEEDS TO REMAIN COMPLACENT AND QUIET!!

LET THIS NEVER HAPPEN!!

I sincerely hope this letter gets read by millions of people all across the nation!
