For more than 160 years, the American Medical Association has served as the self-appointed chief lobbying group for doctors. But the AMA’s lofty status has been under threat over the last several years — and is under attack today. In fact, the AMA now only counts about 17% of doctors as members.
Some doctors are even dissociating themselves from the AMA. Of those who have terminated their membership, 47% cited the organization’s continued backing of the health care law as the primary reason. Increasingly doctors are turning to associations like Docs4PatientCare and the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons that actually do represent their interests.

Even if Congress heeds President Obama's demands to "pass this bill right away" and enacts his jobs and tax plan in its entirety, the unemployment rate probably still would hover in nosebleed territory for at least three more years.
Why? Because the 1.9 million new jobs the White House says the bill would produce in 2012 falls short of what it's needed to put the economy back on track to return to pre-recession jobless levels of under 6 percent, from today's rate of 9.1 percent.

One extremely critical point for all Christians to understand is the serotonin connection to spirituality. These drugs work by increasing levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin. But 50% of the serotonin is metabolized by the pineal gland.
What is the pineal gland? It is the master gland of the body known as the “seat of the soul” or our connection to higher, spiritual thoughts. In Eastern religions it is known as the Third Eye and is located right in the center of the brain.
The question we need to ask is that if the Pineal gland is overloaded with large amounts of serotonin produced by these drugs, does it interfere with that spiritual connection?
According to patients using these drugs it does.

Why would we wait to act until another bridge falls?"

Reality Check: In later times some will abandon the faith
By Tony DiGirolamo
Sometimes we just need to stop and search ourselves and wonder what on Earth is going wrong. And it doesn't take rocket science to realize that we're stuck on stupid day after day and year after year.
For the first time in American history we are failing the people on all levels. Everything is failing, Everything is failing.
Lets look at one verse from Scripture and one statement by one that many believe is the genius of the 20 century, to see what might be happening.
1 Timothy 4:1
"The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons."
We have only to take a reality check to realize that we have abandoned the faith and belief in God. We have secularized and turned from the Commandments and Precepts of God and wondering why we are getting the results we're getting.
I liken it to the Albert Einstein Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

John Fund: What if a committee of prominent Dems approached Obama and asked him not to run?
Three months ago this would have been a zero-probability event. Today, with the economy comatose and the world on the precipice of a new European-driven financial crisis? One-percent chance, minimum.
Supposedly The One is so demoralized by his political fortunes that people around him suspect he might be clinically depressed. If things are as bad as that, he might relish the chance to hand his re-election campaign off to someone else (and we all know who “someone else” is) and be rid of the frustration.

Bombshell: General accused WH of pressuring him to change testimony for Democratic donor
With the White House already reeling over the Solyndra collapse, a new scandal may have erupted today that could make the disappearance of $535 million in taxpayer funds look like a paperwork glitch. Eli Lake starts off his new gig at The Daily Beast with a huge bombshell — an accusation made to members of Congress from a four-star Air Force general that claimed the White House pressured him to change his testimony to boost a big donor to the Democratic Party...
[S]ending Shelton’s testimony to LightSquared would raise big red flags on its own — let alone the accusation that the White House attempted to dictate Shelton’s testimony to benefit LightSquared and their big donor.

Perry takes lead in Florida — after Monday debate; Update: Also national lead in Bloomberg poll, but …
After Monday’s debate in Florida, most people expected Rick Perry’s rapid rise to the top of the polls for Republican presidential candidates to slow or halt, having taken a beating over the Gardasil mandate and immigration. His attack on Social Security was supposed to scare off seniors. However, as RealClearPolitics reported last night, a new poll by Insider Advantage shows Perry grabbing a nine-point lead in the Sunshine State in a survey taken the next day:
AP Exclusive: Long-term care plan alarms ignored
AP Exclusive: Long-term care plan alarms ignored
Even as leading Democrats offered assurances to the contrary, government experts repeatedly warned that a new long-term care insurance plan could go belly up, saddling taxpayers with another underfunded benefit program, according to emails disclosed by congressional investigators.
Part of President Barack Obama's health care law, the program is in limbo as a congressional debt panel searches for budget savings and behind the scenes, administration officials scramble to find a viable financing formula.
Congressman says goal for $535 million was photo-op 'I see no reason for the taxpayers to have any confidence funds could be spent wisely'

A member of Congress today essentially accused Barack Obama of rushing more than half a billion dollars out the government's door and into the account of a private company that later collapsed into bankruptcy in order to set up a favorable photo-op for the administration.

This is one of the more interesting things the caller said:
While we were out there, while we were building it – cause it is a half a billion dollar plant – everyone already knew that China had developed a more inexpensive way to manufacture these solar panels. Everyone knew that the plant wouldn’t work. But they still did it. They still built it.

Evangelicals Left Off 9/11 Memorial Events
Evangelicals Left Off 9/11 Memorial Events
Two high-profile memorial services for September 11 have drawn protests from faith leaders and religious organizations who have objected that an event plans de-emphasize the role that Christians played in the aftermath of the attacks.
... A representative of the Southern Baptist Convention pointed out that the list of prayer participants does not include any evangelicals. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, protested that for a church service, the line-up seemed better suited for a meeting of the United Nations.

Democrats Fret Aloud Over Obama’s Chances
Democrats are expressing growing alarm about President Obama’s re-election prospects and, in interviews, are openly acknowledging anxiety about the White House’s ability to strengthen the president’s standing over the next 14 months.
... “Now that they’re slapping him in the side of the face, he’s coming back,” said William George, a committee member from Pennsylvania. “He needs to start stomping his foot and pounding the desk.”

THE BANNING OF RELIGIOUS LEADERS AT THE 911 MEMORIAL IS JUST ONE MORE CLEANSING OF CHRISTIANITY FROM OUR CULTURE AND INSTITUTIONS.
Mayor Bloomberg on Sept 6, 2011: "They attacked the freedom that defines our city and country: Freedom to think and speak and worship and love as we wish." And love? Well let's not go there now.
Don't you wonder what the Mayor actually thinks this means. It's part of the foundation of America. It's the Constitution.
Yet, this Mayor, President Obama, people in congress are commanded to uphold and defend the Constitution.
With impunity it seems they tear it to shreds daily with events like this solemn memorial or just the daily discourse that speaks of the parchments irrelevance.
Mr Obama's omissions of the Creator, God, and the covering of Christian symbols when he spoke at a Christian university speaks volumes of the direction he's taking us.
The nation is being secularized you need to just get used to it.
Or fight like hell to stop it!

He gives a good speech, but he’s loose with the facts. He called Abraham Lincoln the “founder” of the Republican Party. Nope. Lincoln was not the founder of the party; he wasn’t even the first Republican nominee (John Fremont was, in 1856). Lincoln was, of course, the first Republican to be elected president.

They say you shouldn’t discuss religion or politics. Since when have I ever run from either topic? I have been all kinds of Catholic: devout, apathetic, disheartened, divorced, disenfranchised, disgusted, back slid and back again.
I get disgusted and disappointed in my fellow Catholics at times. I hate Kumbaya and touchy-feely Catholicism just as I despise touchy-feely leftism. (Kumbaya is a really bad quasi-religious song that epitomizes touchy-feely Catholicism and liberalism in general.) According to one set of beliefs, Catholics are responsible for the rise of the New World Order. On the other hand, journalist and investigative reporter Paul Rodriguez states in the latest Insight Magazine that some Catholic organizations and individuals are being investigated by the FBI.

The Reagan Library/MSNBC/Politico debate
The Reagan Library/MSNBC/Politico debate
The biggest mystery about the Reagan Library/MSNBC debate last night is why the Reagan Library allowed MSNBC to be the co-sponsor. Brian Williams, whom I haven’t watched much in recent years, seems to have been drinking liberally of the MSNBC kool-aid; many of his questions were so steeped in liberal distaste for Republican positions that it was embarrassing. There was no questioning about the nation’s fiscal position, aside from asking whether Rick Perry would abjure $1 of tax increases in return for $10 of spending cuts, very little on the macroeconomy and very little on foreign and defense policy.
TONY DIGIROLAMO- THEY'RE ALL DRINKING WHISKEY-LACED KOOL-AID ... YOU THINK.?
THEY'RE EITHER DRINKING SOMETHING OR SMOKING SOMETHING OR BOTH...

Leaked cables: Obama admin called Catholic Church source of spreading “homophobia” in Poland
While surveying the landscape for inroads to push the homosexual agenda into Poland, American embassy officials under the Obama administration complained that the Catholic Church teaching is a major source of “homophobia” in the heavily Catholic country, according to private cables recently published by Wikileaks.
One cable from the American embassy in Warsaw dated August 2009 pointed to the Catholic Church as central in promoting “homophobia” in the former Soviet-controlled country.

GOP Inviting as Guest to Obama Speech the CEO of Company Raided by Feds
In addition to those Republican lawmakers who have announced – motivated, it seems, by disrespect — that they will decline to attend President Obama’s Thursday night jobs address to a joint session of Congress, Republicans are also taking the additional step of inviting a man whose company the Obama administration is investigating for possibly breaking the law.
Henry Juszkiewicz, the CEO of Gibson Guitar Corp., will either sit in the House Gallery as the guest of his member of Congress, Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn. (members of Congress each get to invite one guest to sit in that balcony), or he will be invited to sit in the speaker of the House’s box for the speech, Republican officials tell ABC News.
TONY DIGIROLAMO- AND, FOX NEWS, SPECIAL REPORT SAYS THAT THE WORKERS AT GIBSON ARE NON UNION AND ALL, ALL THE OTHER GUITAR MAKERS ARE UNION SHOPS.

A culture gone coarse
A culture gone coarse
It's easy to become numb to the coarseness of the culture we encounter every day. After awhile, scenes that would have upset us ten years ago lose their shock value. We wander through public places as though we had blinders on, failing to notice the outrages that surround us. We take for granted the offensive content that assaults us on television, on the radio, on billboards. Deep down we may cringe, but we let it pass with a roll of the eyes.
Laura Ingraham, in her new book, Of Thee I Zing, describes being awakened from such a reverie while shopping in a mall one day. Suddenly things came into sharp focus: teenage girls in jeans that looked like they'd been painted on, teenage boys checking to be sure their boxer shorts showed above their pants, an explicit Victoria's Secret window display, a child screaming for a ZhuZhu pet, people walking around trance-like staring at various electronic devices in their hands, nobody really noticing anybody else. And she wondered how we reached this point.
TONY DIGIROLAMO- "And she wondered how we reached this point." I'll tell you how we reached this point Laura, we psychologized, secularized, and reduced God to a fable. That's how we got to this point!
Narcissistic, self-centered, self-esteemed horrific human beings.

Obama and the Burden of Exceptionalism Post-'60s liberals, with the president as their standard bearer, seek to make a virtue of decline.
If I've heard it once, I've heard it a hundred times: President Obama is destroying the country. Some say this destructiveness is intended; most say it is inadvertent, an outgrowth of inexperience, ideological wrong-headedness and an oddly undefined character. Indeed, on the matter of Mr. Obama's character, today's left now sounds like the right of three years ago. They have begun to see through the man and are surprised at how little is there.
Yet there is something more than inexperience or lack of character that defines this presidency: Mr. Obama came of age in a bubble of post-'60s liberalism that conditioned him to be an adversary of American exceptionalism. In this liberalism America's exceptional status in the world follows from a bargain with the devil—an indulgence in militarism, racism, sexism, corporate greed, and environmental disregard as the means to a broad economic, military, and even cultural supremacy in the world. And therefore America's greatness is as much the fruit of evil as of a devotion to freedom.
