Many of you think he was stupid or unwise in exercising his 4th amendment rights. I don’t.
The people who stand up to these illegal searches are the only thing standing between us and a Nazi like checkpoint system. People should have the right to conduct their business without being run through checkpoints and be searched without probable cause.
Take a look at the video of what happened. *note that it is fairly violent.

This is crazy. We haven’t brought any troops home from Iraq. We’re massively expanding the war in Afghanistan. And we have decided to escalate bombing in Pakistan. Change you can believe in…

What does one trillion dollars look like? I know the trillion number has been thrown around a lot, now that our government has decided that spending trillions will fix our economy. U.S. Bailout and Stimulus Pledges total over 10 trillion as of February (and they’re not stopping there).
So here it is: One Trillion Dollars looks like THIS.

Backing up is something that many people never do. And for those of us who do, it is something we don’t do often enough. However, backing up your computer is something that if you aren’t doing you are playing with fire. It is a matter of when, not if, your hard drive fails.
Just ask yourself this question: How would you feel if you lost all the data on your computer today?
I suspect you may not feel really good. You’ve put time and energy in the documents, photos, and videos that you have created, don’t lose them.
So here’s a how to on backing up your computer.

Know When to Walk Away

“You got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em,
Know when to walk away, and know when to run.”
- Kenny Rogers
President Barack Obama is a smart man. He is cool and keeps his head when all around him are losing theirs, but he needs to know when to fold ‘em and when to run. We are not in a single no-win situation; we are in two. We cannot win in Afghanistan, and we cannot win in Iraq.
When Obama was campaigning, he promised that he would get our troops out of Iraq within 16 months. He is now planning on getting our combat troops out in 18 months, but how does he define combat troops? He plans to leave troops there for the purpose of “training, equipping, and advising Iraqi security forces as long as they remain nonsectarian; conducting targeted counterterrorism missions; and protecting our ongoing civilian and military efforts within Iraq.” Conducting counterterrorism missions sounds like combat operations to me. The president is talking about leaving 35,000 to 50,000 soldiers there, a good-sized army.
The Iraqi and U.S. governments agreed on a timetable for the U.S. to leave Iraq. During the campaign, Obama advocated an even faster pullback from that tortured nation. At a minimum, the administration should accept the Iraqi request to leave. It may result in more violence or even a civil war, but that is the problem of the Iraqis: they want us out, so we should get out.

It’s time we stop wasting our lives. If you don’t know Jesus get to know him. If you already do but aren’t living all out for him it’s time to jump in. You won’t regret it.
