“Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:11 NIV
Faith is trusting what the eye can’t see.
Eyes see the prowling lion. Faith sees Daniel’s angel.
Eyes see storms. Faith sees Noah’s rainbow.
Your eyes see your faults. Your faith sees your Savior.
Your eyes see your guilt. Your faith sees his blood.

from hopenchangecartoons:
As much as Hope n' Change likes to present compelling, thoughtful analyses of current news events and controversies, some things just make us want to blow our freaking brains out. And topping that list would be Barack Obama's upcoming appearance on The View this Thursday.
The program, which is the least logical and most screechy liberal lovefest on television, will make Barack Obama welcome by offering him unbridled praise interspersed with softball questions. And Obama will feel right at home with the all-female panel, as he has yet to demonstrate that he has even trace amounts of testosterone.
Because he's taping this all-important show, Barack Obama will not be able to attend the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. Of course, this isn't a big problem for him as he doesn't actually like the Boy Scouts, what with their annoying pledges of honor, truthfulness, service to others, and patriotism. No, he'll be much more at home with Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg, kicking America in the nuts, and giggling like a schoolgirl whenever the term "teabagger" comes up.
It's impressive that Mr. Obama has found time for a gyno-chat show between his many vacations, considering he hasn't found time to address joblessness, consumer confidence, skyrocketing debt, the release of his "let the bomber go" Lockerbie letter, the unauthorized leak of secret military papers, or anything else that a president might be expected to have on his to do list.
Tune in if you dare. We don't have either the strength or the stomach for it...

This too is true:
Mean hourly earnings in private industry: $20.18
Mean hourly earning in state and local government: $25.74
Yes, these periodic rays of hope keep me going! We’re getting the transparency Obama promised us.
In “A Virtuous Filibuster on Free Speech - An affront to the First Amendment” the WSJ printed:
One reality of the U.S. Senate is that a united minority can stop bad legislation, and Republicans did precisely that yesterday in preventing a vote on the blatantly partisan effort to limit the free political speech of some Americans but not of others.
Sometimes this filibuster power can be abused, but yesterday's legislation is the kind it was made for. House and Senate Democrats, egged on by President Obama, want to limit what corporations can spend on political campaigns, while not imposing similar limits on their union friends. Previous campaign finance reforms, however misguided, have at least waited an election cycle to take effect. But Democrats want to give unions a leg up this year, as they scramble to maintain their majorities in the face of rising voter anger against liberal policies.
The vote was 57-41, short of the 60 needed to move ahead, but Majority Leader Harry Reid switched his vote at the last minute to the minority so he can bring up the measure again. (Nevada Republican John Ensign didn't vote.) We hope Republicans stay united and keep defeating this affront to the First Amendment.
Rich Galen in “Out of Touch Out of Mind” says about the Disclose Act: “It helped define a White House which has demonstrated it is woefully out of touch, and may be out of its political mind.”
If you heard the hogwash by Obama and Reid, and that’s all you heard, you would have been sure that this was all a blatant GOP attempt to bury free speech, to protect large corporations, to once again slam the little guy. Fortunately the little guy is now seeing through all of the progressive pandering. Unfortunately, for Obama and the progressives, this is not the transparency Obama says he wanted.

Isn't there a more intellectually honest defense of the NAACP and BHO than Breitbart-made-me-do-it? From Leonard Pitts at The Miami Herald:
“The NAACP was so desperate to protect itself from Breitbart's narrative that it promptly condemned Sherrod without even checking if the video was legit.
Team Obama was so desperate to avoid furthering the right wing's ``liberal extremist'' narrative that it sacked Sherrod from the Agriculture Department without asking if she was really the hate monger Breitbart said.” Read more of this intellectual dishonesty…
