Poudre Schools Responds

As a result of the publicity generated by the flag incident at Bauder Elementary School in Ft. Collins this week (see articles below from the past couple of days), Greeley Report received a communique from Poudre Schools.  In all fairness to the district, it is reprinted, verbatim, below.

"Bauder Elementary School serves a diverse international population of students. As a means of recognizing the varied nationalities of students, flags from the students’ respective countries fly within the school’s center lobby. The American flag always sits highest in the center of a window alcove with the other nation flags being tilted from a lower position.

On Monday, August 29, Bauder Elementary School Principal Brian Carpenter became aware that the American flag had been moved to a side wall where other nationality flags reside when the center court is full.

Mr. Carpenter immediately moved the flag back to its rightful spot in the center of the flag display. Mr. Carpenter noted that the American flag was in a different position when he found it than was shown in the picture originally published online."

Greeley Report has requested photo authentication of this fact, and commends the school for taking appropriate action.  Teachers and administrators face constant challenges, and Greeley Report is cognizant of this fact.  Greeley Report is also aware of the fact that the public education system is a hotbed of political correctness, and has more questions than answers at this point.

• Who moved the U.S. flag?
• Who displayed it in a subservient position to the Saudi flag?
• Why was this not noticed by the school faculty and staff?
• What is being done to educate the students as to American sovereignty and the reason for appropriate flag etiquitte (e.g., our allegiance as students, teachers and residents of this nation is not to other nations, but to the United States of America alone.)?

The flags have been moved.  What about the deeper issues?  Greeley Report will keep you posted if and when Poudre Schools responds to these queries.

More About The Flag

After yesterday's article about the Ft. Collins Bauder Elementary flying a Saudi flag elevated over a U.S. standard, readers went into action.  One reader visited the Elementary school principal and logged his comments on another local blog (link here for that article).  The principal explained that they had flags in their lobby that represented the nations-of-origin of various students in the school.  However, somebody lowered the U.S. flag to a lower level, and then a photo was snapped.  He was sorry for the inconvenience and mishap.

There are a couple of problems with this reasoning.  First, according to Federal statute (Public Law 94-344 Sec 3, (c)), the Saudi flag should have been nowhere near the U.S. flag on American soil.  The U.S. standard should be in a position of elevation and honor, and educators in a government-run school should know this.  They are the guardians of patriotism and standards such as these.  The flags of any other nation should be arrayed in a manner that denotes respect for the USA.

Secondly, the fact that the flag of an islamic nation was allowed to be elevated over a U.S. flag in a school, is in itself a concern.  Apparently school officials didn't notice.  Somebody did it.  Nobody cared until it was pointed out.  Islamic parents and students have an agenda, that being to insert radical islam into western culture.  School officials should not take this incursion as a casual incident, but should immediately be on the alert.  Saudi Arabia does more to fund radical Islam than any nation in the world.  This school has now become a war zone.  A laid-back response from a school principal is not enough.  He needs to know that jihad has come to his school.

We need to understand this, too.  If jihad has come to Ft. Collins, where will it crop up next?  It's my guess that the U.S. flag is probably flying beside the flag of Islamic Saudi Arabia today in this school, and folks will think all is "fixed."  But it's not.  The flag of Saudi Arabia needs to become subservient to the U.S. flag.  In fct, the flag of every other nation on earth needs to be lowered so that the U.S. flag is honored above them.  And every student in the school needs to understand why the change occurred.  There is a battle for the soul of your children, your grandchildren, and you.  It's not over, even if the flag debacle is quieted, and life goes on to the next problem.

What's That Flag?

EXCLUSIVE: Thanks to a Greeley Report reader.

A Greeley Report reader recently snapped a photo during the opening days of school at Bauder Elementary in Ft. Collins, Colorado.  The lobby of the school is shown displaying two flags, side-by-side.  The U.S. flag was drooping, and another flag was elevated above it.  What is that flag?  According to the reader, it was the flag...of Saudi Arabia!  This is an outrage!  Their flag is placed above the U.S.  (See the photo below for proof.)  It shouldn't even be on equal footing, on sovereign American soil.  But this shows how the indoctrination process continues without your consent or knowledge.

Ft. Collins has a growing muslim population.  They want to build one of the largest mosques in the West in this region, and undoubtedly have the support of the Saudi government in their endeavors (either covertly or overtly).  So they have to tell us that radical extremists are "nice people."  They need to "educate us as to their nice culture."  It's bad enough that some of the idiot churches in the area are buying into the garbage.  Now some of the schools are, too.

Call Poudre Schools and complain.  Spread the word.  The 9.11 mosque in New York is only one of their advancing fronts.  Your neighborhood school is next.  Creeping sharia intends to control your life and the lives of your children.  Will we be a Judeo-Christian nation or will we be islamic?  You decide.

 

News Wrap-Up

Greeley Report likes to read news on Fridays, because it's generally "garbage day" in the news industry.  The name comes from the fact that on Fridays many folks don't bother to read the news, due to their family activities or other events.  So the most scandalous news is frequently released on that day, buried deep within newspapers, or given short snippets of commentary late in a news broadcast.  So much is happening these days.  Let's take a look at a few "garbage" pieces showing up today.

• Japan has casually disclosed the fact that  up to this point the radioactive leakage from Fukushima is equal to 168 Hiroshima bombs!  This affects lives, food, and radiation patterns worldwide.  Still we hear little or nothing about ongoing testing of food supplies and people in Japan and in the United States.  Some of that radiation is coming to our borders and has already affected various aspects of food production.  Did you hear about it?  (Link to associated article here.)

• Estes Park has now been dragged into testing their air by the state dictators.  They were told that they would be delayed until January, 2012, but the state opted to start in September.  Those counties that would not stand with Weld and Larimer when the state decided to steal clean air (to play the numbers game) should take notice.  You may be in the mountains or on the plains.  But you could be next.  Big brother is watching you!  The tea party group in Estes Park is not happy about this, and has released the data for our reading.  (Article here.)

• Barack Obama will not deport illegal aliens.  He has much more important matters on his mind these days.  He has solved the debt issues by adding more trillions in debt than ever before in history.  Now he turns his attention to something important.  Guitars!  Federal agents raided Gibson Guitar factories (that actually produce excellent guitars and high-quality American jobs) on Wednesday.  What crime had they committed?  The Feds were looking for illegal rosewood and other rarer products (e.g., ivory, mahogany, etc.) used in guitar production.  The article (link here) is astounding!  Musicians can no longer take real wood instruments abroad because their guitars are made from real wood!  No kidding!  So illegals live among us, terrorists are being nurtured right here, and the Obama administration kills more American jobs and shuts down guitar plants!

• Finally there is the story about the nice, little pacifist Mennonite college in Indiana.  Their motto is "healing the world, peace by peace."  But Goshen college had a problem.  What was it?  It was the U.S. national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner!"  The whole "rockets red glare, bombs bursting in air" thing was too warlike, too violent.  So they have removed it from their playlist.  For everything.  Instead, they play God bless America.  The Mennonites are notoriously pacifist, and even the local church here in Greeley is very pro-illegal and embraces the "we're all God's children" mantra.  Talk about religious stupidity gone to seed.  (Article about that, here.)

While you are taking out the trash over the weekend, remember this.  Society around us is not getting better.  As a whole we are not seeking to build a better nation, but to merely socialize the mess we have today.  Until we make serious changes, we will continue our downward slide.  Sleep well, America.

Where Is The Data?

There has been a great deal of speculation about whether the recent East Coast earthquake was related to various issues.  With tongue-in-cheek, some have inferred it was due to a massive shift in little known faultlines they call the "Bush's Fault," or the "Obama Fault."  Others said the epicenter was somewhere around an old graveyard, and it was the result of our Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves.

Now there is a new allegation.  This earthquake is caused by...us.  Well, it's caused by our desire to put fuel in our vehicles, and so the new allegations are that this earthquake was actually caused by fracking.  Fracking is the process used to fracture rock along natural formations so that oil and gas can be extracted and used.  Expect the enviro-extremist religionists to go crazy with this material and try to push it to the top of the news cycle.  Never mind the need for hard data.  For example, fracking is used all over Weld County with nary an earthquake nor a hitch.  But when it's started back East, it becomes a problem?  At the very least, this isn't news; it's speculation.  A more plausible explanation may be better connected to the Founding Fathers.  (Link here for article about earthquake and fracking.)

Good Neighbor?

The Complete Colorado website picked up an editorial from the Lib Trib last night that talked about Ed Orr.  Ed has a lake on his property and, with a partner, wanted to develop it into a watersports business venture.  However, the Weld County Commissioners killed his dreams, just as they have used various zoning and regulatory laws to destroy other businesses in the county in recent months.  (In case you decide to challenge this, be aware that Greeley Report knows some of these dying businesses first-hand, and their demise is directly connected to County actions.)  Ed could not use his own private property to build a watersports business.  He was sad.  So, Ed threw a party.

Orr has since opened up his lake to friends and others that want to enjoy the lake on his property.  No charge, no problem, or so it would seem.  He isn't breaking any laws, but he is irritating regulators and socialists because there is nothing they can do about it.  People gather, enjoy the water and time together, and go home.  Then the Lib Trib caught wind of the "problem, "and put out their opinion.  They want Ed to be a good neighbor (their interpretation of the term), close down his lake, and basically sit there on his land doing nothing.  How stupid.

This is how liberals think.  It's bad enough that they think they can control what you do with a business on your property, but now they think they should have a hand in dictating what you can do with private, personal use of your land, house and goods.  The Lib Trib opinion says that Ed should be a good neighbor.  It seems to me that a man that owns a lake, and opens it up to folks that want to enjoy it, might be a pretty good neighbor.  No cost, no harm.  Just some traffic and happy people.  Might a few neighbors be troubled by traffic?  Perhaps.  Maybe they should go enjoy the lake, too.  Might bureaucrats be upset?  Yes.  There's nothing they can do, and that is a very irritating issue to a socialist bureaucrat.  Sam thinks Ed is the tip of the problem.  If the government, or neighbors, or the Lib Trib, can start dictating the terms of what Ed can do on his private, sovereign property, then you might be next.  Here's an idea.  Thank Ed for his kindness.  He wanted to own a business, and the socialists shut him down.  But he still enjoys his lake with you and me.  He's a great neighbor.  It's organizations like the Lib Trib, and bureaucrats like county zoning, code enforcement, and the commissioners that love to have them do their dirty work that are not.

Where To Cut

It seems that many of those we send to Washington, D.C. have their brains turn to mush when they get there.  After looking at billions and trillions of dollars, they end up managing the sinking ship, instead of fixing the holes.  For the United States to exist in any solvent form, drastic cuts to finances must be made.  But the politicians don't seem to know where to find them.

A Greeley Report reader recently suggested to Sam (mr.samhill@yahoo.com) that he take a look at the NOAA website.  The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is the parent organization for the National Weather Service, and works with weather data.  They protect weather forecasters from being sued (you will notice they are all NWS certified), and they do a decent job at predicting weather patterns, hurricanes, and so forth.

However, now the NOAA has started to take itself far to seriously.  As you dig into their website (link here), you will soon discover they now think their job is to get into the global climate change business.  Furthermore, they seem to think that every aspect of unusual or unseasonal weather is something of a disaster.  "So what," you may say.  Well, consider this.  If your insurance company uses the NOAA and their hype to determine you are in a risky-weather region, your rates will go up!  Why?  Because a government entity has now stepped beyond providing basic services, and into the political realm of forcing the mantra of climate change on you.

NOAA is one of the areas that should be seriously considered for cutbacks in funding and jobs.  Let the basic services remain.  But hack out all of the government research, programs, legislative garbage, and all of their self-serving, self-important bureacracy.  One reader of Greeley Report came up with that idea.  Mr. Gardner and other legislators (e.g., Udall, Bennett and other libs) would do well to listen.  They certainly don't seem to have a clue on their own.

What About Perry?

Most mainstream news media sites have alternated with bipolar regularity between denigrating newcomer Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry, and lauding him as a conservative.  Since the establishment has been pushing RINO Mitt Romney (who is anti-gun, pro-big tax and spend, and pro just about everything else liberals love), it's obvious he's not a decent candidate.  But what about Perry?

A recent Denver Post political blog was telling in it's revelation, in that it recalled the fact that Perry supported Colorado Republican RINO and plagarist Scott McInnis in his bid for state governor.  (Link here.) This in and of itself should be enough.  However, last week Greeley Report received yet another blog from a faithful reader (and thanks to those of you that are sending news tips and insights).  This blog listed fourteen reasons that make Perry a non-candidate in the eyes of conservatives (link here for that article).

Candidates need to know that we are doing our homework, and don't want to be deceived.  Of course we realize the fact that there is no perfect candidate.  We also know we have been betrayed by RINO's so many times that we are now careful in who we support.  For Sam, Romney is out.  Perry is out.  Who is in?  Sam is not sure yet.  What do you think?

And This Doesn't Tell The Whole Story

Good Food, Bad Feeding

The impostor's wife, Michelle Obama commended District 6 schools recently for having a healthier breakfast, while her husband continued to secretly eat unhealthy foods behind her back.  This of course reflected the complete hypocrisy of the socialist mindset.  It says one thing in public, while doing another in private.  Obama wants us to work hard to build America while he vacations.  He also wants those working to give to those that don't work at all.  It's stupid.

District 6 operates under the same essence.  They have focused on providing healthy breakfasts to students in need, including children of illegals and families from other nations.  However, in the meantime they have consistently ranked as one of the lowest-performing large districts in the state in actually educating our children.  If given the decision to educate or to feed children, the district should educate.  This is a part of the issue District 6 faces.  They are trying to fix all of the fringe issues instead of dealing with the core.  You can talk about food and how good meals bring better education all you want, but when your scores are as bad as District 6, no healthy lunch is going to fix the problem.  It goes deeper than that, and it begins and ends with Lang and her closed culture of self-satisfied service.  Perhaps she can go work for Michele.  After all, she likes good food.

Bouncie, Bouncie

Has anybody noticed the difference in the stock market?  It no longer swings five or ten points per day, but runs into the hundreds.  It's a manic market, and the volume also indicates the fact that the little guys are getting out and fast.  You may not think the market affects you, but think again.  Thousands of pensions, mutual funds and retirement investments are running through these mood swings daily.  The retirement generation is about to get hammered by Obama's debt increase of more than $7 trillion dollars.

China isn't happy, either.  They are threatening to exercise financial attacks against the United States due to our continued support of Taiwan.  This could harm us still further.  If you think the votes that Gardner and other RINO's cast for "business as usual," were effective, you couldn't be more wrong.  Things are swinging nearly out of control.  October isn't even here yet, and the market is wild.  How is it affecting you?

Back To School

Ah, back-to-school season.  It's that time of excitement for children, parents and grandparents as they shop and prepare to have the young ones trained in higher learning.  The staff and teachers of the schools are excited to have the halls filled with chatter and energy, and friends look forward to reconnecting after a season apart.

How sad then, that District 6 pats itself on the back about the supposed good job they are doing when half the students aren't even above average in their proficiency.  Yes, it's true that parents play a huge part in this endeavor, but the fact is that a portion of public education is the commitment to give high opportunity to those that are disadvantaged.  So when we fail them, it's huge.

To those that support this failure, we hold you accountable.  We will be voting you out in November.  We will be looking for board members that will do something for the teachers, the students, and the culture of comfortable failure that has pervaded District 6 for years.  They will change it.  Greeley Report has heard that there may be those that will run, that care and are willing to change the board.  That would be great.  Maybe next year's back-to-school season will start with higher hopes, instead of adjusting the "hope scale," to pretend things are all right.

Both Ways Barack

Barack Obama encountered a few Tea Party members the other day, while touring through Iowa on his "socialism now" campaign.  The confrontation was semi-laughable, until Obama decided to be two-faced.  First, the tea party members were outraged because of Biden-the-simple's comments about them that insinuated they were terrorists.  Of course, after some of Janet Napolitano's commentary in recent months about who terrorists are (and aren't) in America, they had a right to be angry.  But they also needed to understand the fact that Obama was using a slanderous tactic right out of Saul Alinsky's playbook, "Rules for Radicals," and was slandering those with whom he could not argue.

However, the next day B.O. scolded new RINO contender Rick Perry for his scathing rhetoric concerning his lack of performance as president.  Apparently it stung, and Obama warned him to temper his speech.  How funny.  When he's dishing it out, it's fine.  When he's receiving heat, it's not.  B.O. stinks.  He can't have it both ways, and he's behaving like a little baby instead of President.  Get over it!

So Tea Party, here's to ya.  You are still disorganized and easily swayed at times. You still chase RINO's with abandon when they tell you they are different than their voting record indicates.  But you have fire on the right.  That's necessary.  The left is scared to death that you will actually ignite the conservatives and galvanize them into real action (such as holding RINO's accountable, and actually vetting candidates on more than what the mainstream media or the Republican party says about them).  If you do that, you will be real fire-breathers.  And Obama will talk about you; not just Biden.  Oh, the words won't be nice, but ignore him.  He's got a dummy for V.P., and an economic plan that has nearly half of the country on the take.  Keep on spreading the word.  And tell him to shut up for a change.

He Said That

Obama doesn't show well at a Christian-based National Day of Prayer gathering, nor does he appear much in a Christian church.  His celebrations of Thanksgiving and Christmas have been muted and private.  He took great care to escort the Dalai Lama, the global Buddhist leader, out the back door.  But throw a Ramadan "Iftar" feast for Islam?  The front doors of the White House open wide.

This week Obama threw a Ramadan dinner feast in the White House and made some amazing statements.  First, he said "Islam has always been a part of our American family."  He also stated that "Muslim Americans have long contributed to the strength and fabric of our country, in all walks of life.  This has been especially true over the past 10 years."

Really?  I can believe the liar said these things, but really?  In the past 10 years the huge majority of mass murders and terrorist acts against the United States were Muslim.  In World War II the Muslims were aligned with Hitler and the Nazi's against the United States and Israel.  Thomas Jefferson read the Koran so he would understand the infidels, and he sent the Marines into Tripoli to subdue them by force.  They were taking Americans as slaves and holding them for ransom.  There is not one Muslim signature on the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Mayflower Compact, or any other founding document.  Where is this Islamic tapestry in the U.S.?

Once again Obama is lying.  Through glib words and a media that loves him, he spreads propaganda and deception wherever he goes.  Remember, it was this President that talked about the 57 states in our nation, when there are in reality 57 Islamic states.  He talked about the Islamic call to prayer being one of the prettiest sounds on earth.  He said that he had experienced Islam on three continents before moving here.  Pro-Islam.  Anti-Christian.  That's Obama in a nutshell.  And he's a  liar, too.

Presidential Losers, Winners And Others

Several front-running Presidential candidates are showing their stripes early as the Iowa presidential debates and straw poll gets underway this week.  Do you know your Republican candidates?  Of course not!  You have heard about the ones the mainstream media wants you to know, but do you know the rest?  Survey results and stated positions are flying around.  Here is a summary of several of the major conservative (and RINO) candidates and their views, but be sure to click the link at the end of this article.  There is a great number of candidates flying under the radar, and some of them are worth knowing.  One is an avowed gay activist, another is a strong constitutionalist, and one is a blunt, in-your-face campaigner from Montana.  The news media won't tell you about them, but you have a right to know.  With that said, let's look at some of the front-runners and their views.

• Ron Paul.  Paul has continued to be the bulldog concerning spending and auditing the Federal Reserve.  He is solidly pro-2nd amendment (he was one of two excellent candidates according to a recent NAGR survey), and he is staunchly pro-USA.  Paul has a track record of meaning what he says, and sticking with his issues, no matter what people think.

• Michele Bachmann.  Bachmann is a rising star in political circles and, like Paul, is cordially despised by the media and the left.  Bachmann is the other candidate to score well on the NAGR 2nd amendment survey, and has also displayed true conservative views in her votes and her values.  Bachmann supported the Patriot Act early on, and Greeley Report does not know her recent views on this draconian piece of right-suppressing legislation.  Both Bachmann and Paul are solidly anti-ATF, anti-UN Small Arms Treaty, and pro-individual rights.

• Mitt Romney.  Romney is as anti-gun as Obama!  The media loves him, but he is as liberal as you can get and still be a Republican.  A true RINO, Romney likes socialist government, medicine, and taxes, and hates guns.  Greeley Report finds Romney to be an enemy of freedom, not a friend.  He might as well come out of the closet as a Democrat.

• Herman Cain.  Cain was touted as a true conservative, and a minority alternative to Obama.  Cain's life is a rags-to-riches story, but something doesn't smell right.  Cain was Chairman and a former member of the Board of Directors for the Kansas City Federal Reserve.  He says there is no need to audit the Fed whatsoever.  Cain also started out strong in his proclamations about Islam as an enemy of America, but has sinced turned warm and fuzzy in his stance.  From what Greeley Report understands Cain did not turn in the NAGR survey with his views on the 2nd amendment.  He's no Romney, but he's no contender either.  Make sure he loses.

Based on media attention these may be all the candidates you know.  There are more.  Click here to become better informed as a conservative and as a voter.  Who would you choose as the Republican nominee to replace the imposter-in-chief?

One Term?

The following is a copy of a letter received by Greeley Report, that was sent to Congressman Gardner after his vote supporting the debt ceiling.

Dear Congressman Gardner,

I'm writing to tell you that I no longer support you as our Congressman, and I intend to throw the full weight of our Northern Colorado influence behind calling for your replacement.

You were not sent to Washington to work with it, you were sent there to dismantle it and return the power to the people.  This is why you gained the Tea Party vote, and it is precisely why you have lost it.

Betsy Markey would have advanced the Patriot Act.  Betsy Markey would have stuck her head in the sand in support of an unconstitutional president.  Betsy Markey would have voted for the debt-ceiling increase.  Sounds to me like you're not much different than Betsy Markey.

Rest assured I'll be working against you as a Republican delegate in the coming election season.  Hopefully your time of self-discovery in DC is short-lived and we find someone who has the courage to stand against the establishment…and for the Constitution.

No Wonder

Thanks to a link provided by a Greeley Report reader the complete list of CSAP scores for District 6 were made available to you and to me.  (See comments for yesterday's blog.)  As suspected, the material that was conveniently omitted by the Lib Trib is as damning as the material they disclosed.  The charter schools continue to outperform the politically correct schools entirely supported by the government plantation.  Take a look at the results for yourselves.

There are a great number of arguments floating around concerning the reasons for this huge discrepancy, but when Union Colony wants to broaden their charter base and look at the most needy students as their focus, it should stir excitement within District 6.  Instead, they hate them, and do everything in their power to stymie their efforts.  Something is wrong.  They can't say that "it's all for the children" on one hand, and then try and sabotage good education with a proven track record on the other.  The bottom line is this.  The administration of District 6 is the problem, as is their unpaid publicity arm, the Lib Trib.  Every school board member that has bowed before them in humble obeisance needs to go.  No wonder they don't want you to know.  It's too obvious when you do, and their glaring failures come to light.

Grim News And Hidden Data

While the stock market plummets and businesses continue to die because of local, strangling regulation, let's turn our attention to another happy thought.  District 6 received their CSAP test results for 2010, and the results were horrible.  Furthermore, Greeley Report has never had so much difficulty obtaining comparative results from the State department of education or from the district itself.  How strange.  It seems the Lib Trib got the data, but it hasn't been released to you or me yet.  There is a feeder system from the Lib school district and its data to the Lib Trib that no other newspaper, blog or individual has.  Turds of a feather still flock together.

This is one of the problems.  We are presented with comments all the time, instead of being given the hard facts and then judging for ourselves.  Overpaid superintendent Lang tells us how hard various people are working, and how sad this is.  The Lib Trib tells us this is bad, but not as bad as we might believe.  But where is the data?  We can think for ourselves.  You see, the fact is this.  They don't want you to know.

Tonight there is a school board meeting beginning with a public work session at 4:30, and then the actual board meeting at 7 p.m., at the administration building on Ninth Avenue.  You might want to talk with Broderius, Trimberger, Stack and Kron.  You might want to ask some questions of Lang.  You pay her salary. You have a right to the data.  Get it.  And make them feel the heat. The old "it's the children's fault" blame game doesn't hold water very well.  If it's their fault, then manage the little idiots and call yourselves a daycare.  But don't get paid a six-figure salary in the process.  Heads must roll.

Selectric?

Last night the Obama administration celebrated B.O.'s fiftieth birthday by throwing a lavish party in his honor.  However, last week a little-known 50th anniversary had the potential to be more powerful.  Sunday, July 31, 2011 was the 50th anniversary of the invention of the IBM Selectric typewriter.  Before the Selectric, all typewriters had "spatula" type keys that were somewhat erratic in their printing style.  The Selectric used "golf ball" style heads for the letter imprints.  These could be interchanged for various styles and sizes of fonts.  It was a radical innovation!  Those of you that have used them know they were industry standard for years, and made typing a great deal easier until the invention of the personal computer.

Some of the typeface on Obama's birth certificate is attributed to an IBM selectric.  This means IBM had to produce their brand new typewriter, and had less than 2 weeks to get it to Hawaii, so that it could be used on the "messiah's" long-form certificate.  Furthermore, according to experts, no less than 9 "golf ball" heads would have to have been used, just to produce the certificate released by the White House.  These are just some of the anomalies within the Obama certificate.  And this is the reason why on Monday, August 8th, the Hawaii state government will be presented with a subpoena that allows an attorney and group of typewriter and typesetting experts to physically examine the Obama long-form, original birth certificate.

What will they find?  Will they discover the certificate, and an IBM selectric in a sealed vault complete with a stash of typefaces and fonts?  Or will they find...nothing?  As one that has used these and other business machines for years, Sam Hill can tell you the birth certificates released by the White House are fake.  And all it took was the timing of one little anniversary announcement from IBM, about their typewriter, to drive the nail ever deeper into the coffin.  Impeach him.  (Link here to an informative article on the IBM selectric.)

Obama Attacks America

While the supposed debt ceiling debate was occurring in Washington, Obama and his brown shirts were busy in other areas behind the scenes.  You probably didn't hear about it on mainstream media, because they were busy pretending a debt increase was good for you.  Now that taxes will increase in the next 12 months and our spending has already climbed above the total amount the United States makes in a year, it's obvious they are liars, and Greeley Report means every one of them that voted for the debt increase on both sides of the aisle.

While that sham was being perpetrated, Obama was also at work (as mentioned earlier) on other important issues.  For example, he sued the state of Alabama.  Why?  Because Alabama got fed up with Obama's lack of enforcement of existing immigration laws.  So they passed a state law that mirrored the existing Federal government statute.  Obama didn't like that.  He sued them.  Obama wants states to be without immigration laws, because he wants those playing cards out of his hands.  Never mind the fact that he is supposed to be enforcing existing laws.  Never mind the fact that his administration personally oversaw the sale of firearms to drug dealers and gang tycoons in Mexico.  Never mind the fact that he is trying to use these issues to seize your firearms (and mine).  He sued Alabama!  His actions are treasonous.  No wonder the media wanted to focus on the debt.  Watergate would pale in comparison to this administrations activities.  Share this with your friends and call Congress.  Somebody needs to stand up for our values for a change.

A Tale Of Two Schools

Once upon a time the Greeley/Evans area was booming.  Houses were being built by the dozens and prices were escalating before lots were sold.  The region was one of the top-growth areas in the nation, and families were looking to the region for housing, families and education.  During that era the pressure was on District 6 to provide competent education for students, and innovation was allowed on a limited basis.  Charter schools were grudgingly accepted on limited terms.  Union Colony was not allowed to open an elementary school because they were "unproven." Frontier Academy had an elementary program, but was only allowed a middle and high school program with a limited number of students.  Furthermore, both Frontier and Union Colony had to build or provide their own buildings.  After the principal of John Evans Middle School was convicted of criminal activity, the Chappelow magnet school was allowed to expand into the middle school realm.  And District 6 built Ann K. Heiman elementary in a newly-emerging subdivision, to accomodate student growth.  The District paid for this new elementary, and staffed it fully with teachers paid at higher rates than those in the charter schools.

Now, fast forward to the present day.  Union Colony has emerged as one of the highest-performing schools in the region, surpassing District expectations.  Ann Heiman Elementary and others have continued to languish in their CSAP test scores, particularly in the hard sciences.  This has caused Union Colony to step into the elementary education realm, with an offer to expand their school into that area.  What does District 6 think about that?  They hate it!  Union Colony has faced hostile questioning and rejection of their application at this point.  They have been successful under their charter, whereas District 6 has failed in their educational model.  It's not about the children at all.  It's about perpetuating a failing system, under a failing school board.

Ann K. Heiman should be one of the flagship schools in the District 6 stable, but it's not.  They have one of the newest buildings, they built in a growing section of town, and they brought in teachers and administrators with excitement and vision.  Union Colony had to build their own building, staff with less pay per capita, and do more with less.  What was the difference?  The charter school functioned under the leadership of parents, and Heiman was controlled by District 6.  True, there are other variables that may be argued.  Some may try to say charter schools are exclusive and don't take a fair representation of at-risk students, but they do accept people from all strata of society.  Furthermore, they have offered to position their elementary school so that it focuses particularly on at-risk children.  That hasn't been enough.  It's not about education; it's about control, unions, a closed-loop system within the District 6 administrative offices, and patting each other on the back.

Next time you drive past these schools, ask yourself which one you would rather see educating your children and grandchildren.  Look beyond hard-working teachers and administrators, and ask yourself how you would want the broken system to be fixed.  Then call District 6 and give them an earful of your opinion.  They need it!

 

The Common Bond

Greeley Report accurately predicted weeks ago there would be an increase in the debt ceiling.  The U.S. Senate is expected to vote on the increase today, and Obama will sign it into law.  In true government speak, this world-record debt increase on you and your children is being touted as the best thing possible. It's not.

The emerging "super-congress" played a strong role in the new debt debacle.  Key representatives from each of the parties met with the Obama administration to hammer out key elements, and these were then forced upon the rest of the House and Senate.  Of course the super-congress is comprised largely of RINOs and compromisers from both sides that want to perpetuate business-as-usual.  History has shown us where this leads, and it's not pretty.

Consider this.  What do Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, China's Mao and Russia's Stalin all have in common?  They all had a Congress. Every one of these men are/were dictators and tyrants, and were also ferocious communists.  They all exerted tremendous pressure and influence upon Congress, to force them to do their will.  This is how oppression and tyranny came to be imposed on those nations.

Obama has a Congress, too.  While there are many that tout the benefits of bipartisan efforts, the fruit of the last few days will bring debt, oppression and more government control to you and to your children.  Greeley Report wonders what hidden line-items were inserted into this spending bill.  It's been done before.  Gun control?  Personal freedoms eroded?  More intrusion into your life?  Even the Republicans broke their commitment to publish a bill for 3 days, to give it proper time for reading and study before casting a vote.  Tyrants love pressure, and Obama is no exception.  Congress caved, and he loves it.  They won.  You lost.  America slides downward once again.

The Fix Is In

Last night Republicrats from both sides of the aisle met with Obama and put together a deal that would raise the debt ceiling on our children once again.  They are promising no new taxes and significant cuts over 10 years, but what does that look like?

• First, if the deal is structured like the one earlier this week, the cuts will not occur much in the first few years.  Everybody is trying to protect their 2012 reelection campaigns.  The deal last week only cut $7 million in 2012.  Only $7 million!

• Second, any subsequent congress can alter this plan as they come into office.  So this deal really isn't a solvent solution.  It's a "fix."  The politicians on both sides aren't fixing the problem.  They are making it look good for your perceptions.

There are some that are standing up against this deal.  Senators from Florida, Utah, and others like Michele Bachmann have already said they will vote no.  Local representative Republican Cory Gardner will probably vote yes.  The debt piles on.  Somebody will have to pay it.  Today you will hear from the mainstream socialists what a wonderful deal this is.  It's not.  It's a fix, and we are the losers.  Now, how will the votes go?
