Privacy vs. convenience: How we enable data mining

Saturday, March 12th, 2011

This Data Mining is one of the most important issues of our generation.

As I point out in my other post Google is Evil, there is no end to what web companies know about you. 

I just have to ask… Is this OK with you?  I mean maybe it’s not a big deal that every aspect of your life is being recorded.  What do you think?

I would love to hear your perspective on the issue.

Why aren’t women up in arms about Muslims in America?

Islam Now Exempt from Criticism:

AP Story Here:

The story mentioned above is extremely alarming.  Every man, woman, and child should be outraged by this recent vote.  This basically says that no speech that portrays Islam in a negative light will be tolerated.

On the one hand one might say “It’s just the U.N. They don’t govern us here in the USA.”  Wrong.  The United States is part of the UN council and we are very much affected by what happens there.  Besides, I predict that the United States will give up our sovereignty to UN control within the next couple of years if not later this year. If Obama thought he could get away with it, we would have already done it. And the UN doesn’t really care about our little constitutional “freedom of speech” rules. Those are going out the window.

So my question is… why aren’t our women’s groups up in arms about the spread and growth of Islam in this country?  In the Mid-Eastern nations where Islam reigns the women are horribly mistreated on an ongoing basis. They’re forced to be completely covered head to toe. They’re forbidden to drive or be out after dark without their husband. They can’t have authority over men, and their husbands can beat and kill them at will without fear of punishment. And this is just a part of the list.

The women in America are outraged when they perceive they are getting a lower salary than their male counterparts.  Where is the N.O.W.? Why aren’t they complaining about this “Honor Killing” (Article Here) by a Muslim man right here in the USA? Where is the ACLU? Why aren’t they commenting on this?  The ten commandments in a courtroom for some reason is a hideous crime, but cutting off your wife’s head “in the name of Allah” is somehow “honorable”? I don’t get it.

Women… Islam is so obviously NOT your friend. When you see the ladies dressed head to toe in the grocery store. That’s not a cute little middle eastern clothing style.  They might as well be wearing a sadwich-board sign that says… “I could be killed if I don’t follow the rules”.

For some reason America is bending over backwards to bring muslims into this country and let them promote their religon all over the place.  But beware… they are not some “neutral” religon.

Obama’s New Civilian Security Force?

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

I heard this way back before the elections and was worried about it then.  This idea of a national civilian security force is the most terrifying thing I can imagine, and also the main reason I knew Obama would win the elections in 2008 to become the next president.

Nobody else I know even brought this up prior to the election. I can’t believe it. But now it seems to be surfacing a little bit. I’m hearing some chatter on the news about it. Still, it seems that very few are coming out and talking openly about it.  Perhaps they’re waiting until the Banking and Healthcare takeovers are complete before moving on to the next thing. (That would be a joke if it weren’t so serious)

If we’re going to create some kind of national police force as big, powerful and well-funded as our combined U.S. military forces, isn’t this rather a big deal?

I thought Democrats generally believed the U.S. spent too much on the military. How is it possible their candidate is seeking to create some kind of massive but secret national police force that will be even bigger than the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force put together?

Listen to what Obama says, in his own words:

Seriously… this is scary stuff.  We are just one tactical nuke away from a total dictatorship. All it takes is to manufacture a “terrorist attack” and then use Government to “solve” the security problem. It has happened before (many times), I don’t know why we think it won’t happen here in the USA.

Put this together with what Joe Biden said (slipped) before the election.  He said there would be a crisis coming and we wouldn’t like how it’s handled by Obama.

Joe Biden knows more than he lets on:

God have mercy on our country!
