An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class.That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan". All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A… After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
Socialism Cancer of Liberty Always Fails! Obama will fail and like Jimmy Carter he will be a one term president. So who will be our next president? I'm praying it will be Sarah Palin. I almost didn't vote in the last election because I couldn't stand Barak Hussein Obama or John McCain, but when Sarah Palin entered the picture I voted for her and her only...the fact John McCain was on the same same ticket was something I had to live with and it wasn't him who I was voting for. It was my desire that the Republicans would win the election and eventually McCain would disappear from the scene one or another and Sarah would then become our president that of course never materialized but now there is once again a possibility that Sarah Palin can become the President of the United States of America. Will Sarah run in 2012? I believe she will, she won't say one way or the other which is a wise decision on her part, it is early yet and we will see what developed in 2011.

More Churches Attacked by Malaysian Moslems
Sunday 10 Jan. 2010: A Molotov cocktail was hurled at the All Saints Church in Taiping town in central Perak state early in the morning before it had opened, said state police chief Zulkifli Abdullah. He said that the building was not damaged but police found burn marks on the wall. A broken kerosene bottle with an unlit wick was found early Sunday inside the compound of the St. Louis Catholic church, also in Taiping, said the Rev. David Lourdes. He said it appeared to be a failed attack. In southern Malacca state, the outer wall of the Malacca Baptist Church was splashed with black paint, police said. Four other churches were hit by gasoline bombs on Friday and Saturday. All except the Metro Tabernacle, whose parishioners moved their services, suffered little damage, and no one was hurt. The other three held normal services Sunday.
The unprecedented attacks have set off a wave of disquiet among Malaysia's minority Christians and strained their ties with the majority Malay Moslems. The dispute is over a Dec. 31 High Court decision that overturned a government order banning non-Moslems from using the word "Allah" in their prayers and literature. The court was ruling on a petition by Malaysia's Roman Catholic Church, whose main publication, the Herald, uses the word "Allah" in its Malay-language edition. The government has appealed the verdict. About 9 percent of Malaysia's 28 million people are Christian, most of whom are ethnic Chinese or Indian. Moslems make 60 percent of the population and most of them are ethnic Malays. On Sunday, men, women and children from the Metro Tabernacle parish assembled in the cavernous, 1,800-seat meeting hall of the Malaysian Chinese Association party for the service. They lifted their hands and sang "We put all our faith in you," and "You are the God of love and peace" during the Sunday service." My wife was worried, but we want to be here to support the church," said Michael Chew, 40, who came to the service with two children, aged 1 and 6.
The service was in English, as are most Christian services in mainland Malaysia, though some are in Chinese and Tamil languages. Such services do not use the word "Allah." Only the Malay-language prayers for indigenous tribespeople in the remote states of Sabah and Sarawak use "Allah," as they have for decades.Rev. Hermen Shastri, general secretary of the Council of Churches of Malaysia, said Christians won't be intimidated by the attacks, describing them as the work of extremist minority among Moslems. "What is clear is that it is done by extremist groups. It does not reflect the majority Moslems in the country. We all have to stand together to stamp out terror perpetuated by these extremist groups," he said. The government contends that making Allah synonymous with God may confuse Moslems and ultimately mislead them into converting to Christianity.
Still, government leaders and many Moslems have condemned the firebombings, saying it is un-Islamic to attack places of worship. Prime Minister Najib Razak visited the Metro Tabernacle church late Saturday and announced a grant of 500,000 ringgit ($147,000) for rebuilding it at a new location, a major concession in a country where permission is rarely given for building new churches or temples.The Allah ban is unusual in the Moslem world. The Arabic word is commonly used by Christians to describe God in such countries as Egypt, Syria and Indonesia, the world's largest Moslem nation.
Personally I think any Christian church that uses the word Allah should replace that word with Jesus or Yahweh. After all we do not worship the same god as the Moslems, our God is an entirely different entity. I believe that Allah is a counterfeit god just as Mohammad was a false prophet and any Moslem who doesn't like my belief all I can say is "Live with it" just as I have to live with the Moslem's belief that Jesus is not the Son of God, never died on the cross, and never rose from the dead. I as a Christian do not go around foaming at the mouth in riotous anger burning down mosques and killing Moslems because I don't like their beliefs but then again Christians have something that Moslem never had and never will have.....Self Control!

Moslem Christmas Massacre
CAIRO – Three men in a car sprayed automatic gunfire into a crowd of churchgoers in southern Egypt as they left a midnight Mass for Coptic Christmas, killing at least seven people in a drive-by shooting, the church bishop and security officials said.The attack took place in the town of Nag Hamadi in Qena province, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) from the famous ancient ruins of Luxor. A local security official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, confirmed that seven were dead and three seriously wounded.Bishop Kirollos of the Nag Hamadi Diocese told The Associated Press six male churchgoers and one security guard were killed.
He said he had left St. John's church just minutes before the attack. "A driving car swerved near me, so I took the back door. By the time I shook hands with someone at the gate, I heard the mayhem, lots of machine gun shots," he said in a telephone interview. He said he saw five bodies lying on the ground when he first looked at the site of the shooting, about 600 yards from where he was.The bishop said he was concerned about violence on the eve of Coptic Christmas, which falls on Thursday.He got a message on his mobile phone saying: "It is your turn." "I did nothing with it.
My faithful were also receiving threats in the streets, some Moslems shouting at them: 'We will not let you have festivities,'" he said. Because of the threats, he ended his Christmas Mass one hour early.He said Moslem residents of Nag Hamadi and neighboring villages rioted for five days in November and torched and damaged Christian properties in the area after the rape."For days, I had expected something to happen on Christmas day," he said. The bishop said police have now asked him to stay at home for fear of further violence.Qena is one of Egypt's poorest and most conservative areas.Christians, mostly Coptic, account for about 10 percent of Egypt's predominantly Moslem population.
As Islamic conservatism gains ground, Christians have increasingly complained about discrimination by the Moslem majority.Clashes by Moslems on Christians are not uncommon in southern Egypt and in recent years have begun seeping into the capital. An Amnesty International report said sectarian attacks on the Coptic Christian community, comprising between 6 million and 8 million people in Egypt, increased in the year 2008. Sporadic clashes between Coptic Christians and Moslems left eight people dead.
Vendetta killing is also common among southern Egyptians, and is usually over land or family disputes. The bishop said he had an idea of who the attackers were, calling them "Moslem radicals."...."It is all religious now. This is a religious war about how they can finish off the Christians in Egypt," he said.
And so it goes now as it has in the past. Moslems attack Christians and if the Christians dare defend themselves then they are branded as Crusaders. In radical Islam it's OK and even righteous to prey on Christians and yes, Jews too but any kind of retaliation is called aggression. In other words "We can murder you, rob you, rape you, beat you, humiliate you and if you do one damn thing about it then you are in the wrong". When the next Crusade comes just like the others it won't be us Christians who started it but since our war-machine is superior to their's it will be us who finish it...hopefully forever.
