I'm not a big Bob Woodward fan.I consider him part of the MSM.
However, I'll be reading through this one at Barnes and Noble...
Bob Woodward Book
President Obama urgently looked for a way out of the war in Afghanistan last year, repeatedly pressing his top military advisers for an exit plan that they never gave him, according to secret meeting notes and documents cited in a new book by journalist Bob Woodward.
Frustrated with his military commanders for consistently offering only options that required significantly more troops, Obama finally crafted his own strategy, dictating a classified six-page "terms sheet" that sought to limit U.S. involvement, Woodward reports in "Obama's Wars," to be released on Monday.

Altering History - The Great Deletion of God
A case in point of deliberate deletion of God as a reference in our nations founding documents.
First Things has the article, I first saw it at CMR
God and Gettysburg
Deeply moving—but, I thought, something isn’t right. Did you notice what had been omitted? What’s missing is Lincoln’s description of the United States as a nation under God. What Lincoln actually said at Gettysburg was: “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.” The American Constitution Society had omitted Lincoln’s reference to the United States as a nation under God from the address he gave at the dedication of the burial ground at Gettysburg.

It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.

Hawkins, "No Need For God"
Stephen Hawkins has a new book out 'The Grand Design'. In it he claims that “God wasn’t necessary for the creation of the universe.”
Stephen Hawkins

Carl Olsen from Inside Scoop comments with Fr. Barron:Citing the 1992 discovery of a planet orbiting a star other than our Sun, he said: “That makes the coincidences of our planetary conditions – the single Sun, the lucky combination of Earth-Sun distance and solar mass – far less remarkable, and far less compelling as evidence that the Earth was carefully designed just to please us human beings.”He adds: “Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.
“Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist.
“It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going.” MORE

Hot Afternoon at Barnes and Noble
Spent the hot day yesterday with a stack of books over at Barnes and Noble. Nice and cool with a Frappacino and I was set.
I wish they would turn the music down a few notches.
I usually have a fair mix books, political, religious, fiction, non-fiction. Here what I read.
Political: The Blueprint: Obama's plan to Subvert the Constitution and build an Imperial Presidency by Kenneth Klukowski and Kenneth Blackwell
This book was a little different from the rest of the Obama books out there. There are two authors, one is a Constitutional (Ken Klukowski) the other a Professor and Journalist (Ken Blackwell). I liked he book because it went beyond the rhetoric and talking point to explore the legality of President Obama's actions. I recommend it.
Religious: How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization by Thomas Woods Jr. PhD
I picked up this book because my Son and I were talking about a history class he is taking in College. The professor is very bias against the Catholic Church and is using the Galileo incident to show how the Catholic Church is against science, which is beyond bogus. He is also a proponent of the 'Dark Ages'. This book addresses those areas of history and sheds light on what most modern day scholars see as this thousand year period being one of darkness but one with my discoveries in agriculture, literacy, metallurgy, the creation of universities, yes even astronomy and science. This is one for the personal library.
Fiction: Lost Empire: a Fargo Adventure by Clive Cussler and Grant Blackwood
I don't read fiction as much as I use to but on occasion I like a good yarn. Clive Cussler fills that fiction sweet tooth. His books have a sense adventure with a mix of history. Usually a fast read with good tale to keep your interest.
Non-Fiction: War by Sebastian Junger
This is truly amazing insight into the Afgan War, it's terror and adrenaline, it's sadness and sorrow and every emotion in between. This is the story told by the film Restepo (see my post) but goes further to complete the brief film footage of actual combat.

U.S. Open Brawl
Perhaps you've seen this video of the brawl at the U.S. open.
Maybe this has happened to you, it has for me. Apparently 2 older individuals took the foul language of another individual at the event. Most would just try to put up with the foul mouthed individual. Why do we have to put up with their language? Because we don't want to make a scene? Don't want to escalate the matter? The other individual is BIGGER than us perhaps.
Whatever the case I've noticed that this type of behavior is getting worse. The cussing the swearing from ever increasing younger people. If you happen to mention to them if they can keep their language in check, they become quite belligerent, "hey it's my right! If I want to cuss a stream of obscenities at God or you or anyone else, that's my right!"
That's usually how it happens.
I think what is most upsetting in the video is the reaction of the commentator. He is sticking up for the belligerent foul mouthed individual (to be fair it was the elder man who was belligerent and escalated the confrontation). The commentator is incorrect to say that the elderly man started it. He didn't, it was the cussing swearing man.
However, the commentator is sticking up for the younger individual. Hey it's his right to cuss, swear. Maybe the 2 older individuals should have called security to tell of their concern first
I don't know, there are no winners, here.
What do you think?

Hillary Throws Away 2012 Presidential Bid
Mark my words. This event will be the downfall of Hillary Clinton's bid for the 2012 White House.
Democrats, Republicans, and anyone else running against her will be pointing to this unprecedented decision to throw one of the Sovereign Territories of the United States under the bus, for whatever reason, pick one, appease the UN, look good to the other nations, whatever.
This will be hung around Hilary's neck like a mill stone, and her bid will sink. No one is going to elect someone as President, the defender of the United States, who has put the State of Arizona in the same list as China, Russia, any of the South American radical states, Africa, who violate Civil Right to the tune of murder, rape, slavery, starvation, suppression.
She had a better chance when she kept silence and took photo op's with leaders of the world.
This is a fatal mistake that won't be forgotten.

MOVIE: Get Low
Saw a movie with the Wife this weekend that was a surprise delight for me.
Get Low has an odd cast of actors (Robert Duvall, Bill Murray, Lucas Black) and one actress (Sissy Spacek)that at first glance one will seem incompatible. But the combination actually works!
I was also surprised to see the Catholic teaching of Reconciliation, the main theme of the movie. One can't have someone else ask for forgiveness for you, one can't ask for forgiveness in the solitude of ones own mind or heart (mortal sin), one must 'confess' it out loud. In the case of Catholic Teaching, to a priest.
While the movie doesn't quite make that connection, it does portray that overall theme...asking for forgiveness

In the last ten to fifteen years, implications of transcendence in astrophysics, philosophy of mathematics, and metaphysics have become more pronounced. Indeed, no other decade in history has revealed more or better evidence for God.
Father Spitzer's new book is entitled 'New Proofs for the Existence of God:Contributions of Contemporary Physics and Philosophy'.
Here's an interview on EWTN Live with Fr. Mitch Pacwa

Goverment Bans E-Readers?
A story you got to read to believe...
Sometimes the federal government does something so laughably moronic, that one has to stop and ask the question “Are they really that dumb or is something else going on?”
Here is the setup. Recently a number of universities around the country decided to take a look at using some modern technology in the classroom in an effort to save money. These universities took part in an experimental program to allow students to use the Amazon Kindle for textbooks. As you know, many people now use e-readers like the Kindle or the Nook as a replacement for traditional printed books. There are many reasons for this including cost, environmental impact, and convenience. Further, anyone who has gone to college understands the high cost of textbooks and would likely support any way to reduce this large expense.
Here is the pathetic punchline. For conducting this experiment with the Kindle, Obama’s Department of Justice threatened legal action against the universities. The ridiculous contention of the Obama administration is that the Kindle and e-readers violate the Americans With Disabilities Act. Why? Because the blind can’t easily use them.
Now the first thing that would pop into the minds of anybody with a third grade education and that does not work for the government is this simple question. If e-readers discriminate against the blind, do not traditional textbooks discriminate equally? The obvious answer is yes.

Pelosi: Baby Jesus, Did He Ha ve a Right to Life?
I didn't believe this until I read it.
Did Jesus have a right to life?
Pelosi actually wouldn't answer the question when proposed to her. A Yes or No wasn't in her answer. How hard could it be to answer it? This self claiming 'well educated Catholic'.
Unbelievable...
Pelosi can't say if Jesus had right to life
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a Catholic, publicly stated earlier this year that she had a duty to pursue policies “in keeping with the values” of Jesus Christ, the “Word made Flesh.” But at a press briefing last week, when reminded of this statement, Pelosi declined to say when Jesus got the right to life.
“Whenever it was,” said Pelosi, “we bow our heads when we talk about it in church, and that’s where I’d like to talk about that.” MORE

A Very Sad Day In Los Angeles - Marriage
A Judge in the City of Angels has decided that the peoples of Los Angeles were "Un-Constitutional" in their support of Marriage.
Marriage, defined by 1 man and 1 woman.
He used terms like 'moral disapproval' and saying things like, California "has no interest in differentiating between same-sex and opposite-sex unions,"
What does that mean. I guess if you're the one defining them you can make them mean anything. And that's just what happened. A Judge over ruled 52.3% of the people's vote.
It's not over by a long shot. A shallow victory for those attempting to change and redefine Holy Matrimony.
Holy Matrimony will always be between 1 man and 1 woman. No court ON EARTH can ever change that.
Marriage Over Turned in California

WIGAN's: Micro Sculptor
Truly amazing.....
His school teacher use to make fun of him in front of his fellow students because of his learning abilities. Don't know if the teacher was aware fully of his learning abilities for what they were.
But this made Willard Wigans feel almost as small as his present day sculptures.
These sculptor's go for over $100,000.00.
