When news surfaced that radical UK cleric Anjem Choudary was going to stage a Shariah4America rally at the White House on Thursday, it’s fair to say many expected some explosive video to surface. Especially considering counter protesters planned rallies, too. Choudary canceled his rally. The counter protesters did not. At least one shocking video still surfaced.

(This is REAL CHRISTIAN HATE.  So-called believers taunting a prayerful Muslim. This particular Muslim visits the White House a few times a week and prays.  He hurts no one.

Along comes a group of religious zealots of another faith and taunts the man by throwing crosses at his feet. Do you think for one minute that after everything Jesus endured on Earth that he would condone or approve of the kind of behavior exhibited yesterday in Washington D.C?

Perhaps you call yourself a Christian. Examine the tenants of your faith and the behaviors your church leaders ask you to emulate to promulgate your faith. Do those behaviors make sense?

As a Catholic, I have been on the receiving end of religious hate. Tracts from an intractable Christian sect placed Catholic hate literature on my car, that was parked in a parking lot where I worked. No one else’s car had the pamphlet. Just my car.  I tore up the pamphlet and called the State Police and discussed the personal insult with my Priest.

In case the hater’s missed it, in the United States of America, the country  was created with the understanding that citizens could worship as they pleased. Whether I believe in your faith or not does not give me the right to treat you badly because of my disagreement.

A suggestion is that whoever these “Christians” were that they refrain from publicly humiliating others and confine their hate to their private prayer.)

More states are weighing major increases in income tax or sales tax to make up for plunging revenue.

Ed. Note – The last thing Maryland needed was additional taxes on small business owners. Soon, if not now, Maryland will be too expensive for any business but WalMart and too expensive for any retiree or person with a limited income. Unless you are either enormously wealthy or dirt poor you won’t be living in Maryland. You can’t afford to.

Democrats are clueless. They are pricing business out of the state to pay for tax-and-spend projects during a budget shortfall. DESPITE stimulus funds the Maryland legislature is STILL spending 250 million on new school construction and STILL has a 500 million dollar shortfall this year. There is no budget restraint in Maryland only feel-good politics and a serious lust for continued power. The people of Maryland that voted for O’Malley and Mike Miller need to re-evaluate their choices. Are you aware of what your state legislature is doing with YOUR money?

Senate president Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. (D-Calvert) chastised the pastor of a Bowie church this morning for including too much Jesus in a prayer that opened the day’s proceedings. That pastor is now speaking out, saying he was confused and disappointed by the criticism.

I am shaking my head in complete disbelief every time I see the TV commercial Americans United for Change play on Fox. They actually want people to believe that Republicans (and moderates and independents and even some Democrats) are BAD because not a single Republican voted for the socialist spending agenda in the nation’s 2009 budget. No Republicans voted because the budget was irresponsible and just plain stupid.

Oh you poor babies! Why don’t you just gather all of your marbles and leave the play ground. You got your way. Using this foolish commercial you are simply trying to throw sand in the faces of those that disagree with your child-like behavior. Our children and their grandchildren will be paying off the budget you clueless fools are so very proud of. (That includes YOUR children and grandchildren by the way.) All you do with this commercial is call to everyone’s attention how dopey you really are and how much you do not understand about economics. People don’t buy the premise behind your commercial. I certainly don’t.

The Republicans did the right thing in my view. You folks just keep calling attention to your own cluelessness and oddly enough you even pay Fox to do it.

From MDGOP: Restore Driver’s License Security Provision to Maryland Budget

Maryland Republican Party Chairman Jim Pelura today released the following statement on the removal budget language during the General Assembly Budget conference committee that prohibited the MVA from providing drivers licenses to those who cannot prove they are legally present in the country:

“The language put into the budget by Senator David Brinkley to prohibit the MVA from giving drivers licenses to illegal immigrants was important not only for the safety of Marylanders but to ensure that we are in full compliance with federal law, “Pelura said. “Its removal by the Democrats on the budget conference committee shows Marylanders once again that Governor O’Malley and Annapolis Democrats don’t care about the public’s concerns. O’Malley and his General Assembly allies are more interested in funneling taxpayer resources towards those here illegally rather than protecting Maryland citizens and legal immigrants.”

“I call on the budget conference committee to reinstate the Brinkley language and for Governor O’Malley to show some actual leadership by protecting Maryland’s citizens and driver’s license security.”

Reflections Blog – Mike Miller, Huntingtown, MD  (Excerpt) “Never in my comments did I advocate a select few children being rewarded at the expense of others. In fact, I believe I stated the proper response is to expand choice, not limit it. I want every child to have an opportunity. I also want every child to have an opportunity now, not when the public school system gets its act together.

I live in Calvert County where the schools are generally excellent, and Maryland as a state gets high ratings for their public schools. I won’t rest, however, until Prince George’s County and Baltimore City can give their children the best possible education. We should never be satisfied until everyone is lifted up.”

Candidate Ron Miller responded to a liberal man-of-the-cloth’s personal attack in this post at his Reflections Blog regarding the effectiveness of voucher schools and the education establishment. Ron’s writing on this issue is what I personally expect from a clear-thinking politician interested in the welfare of all children in the state. Marylanders are taxed HEAVILY for education. Over HALF of my VERY HIGH property taxes go to our public schools and the schools, unsatiated, keep coming back for more. Revealed in this post are hitherto unknown statistics, to me anyway, citing the ratio of non-teaching staff to teaching staff in Maryland public schools. Get to know Ron. Read his opinion and should you decide to lend your support vote for him in lieu of Mike Miller in 2010.

Reflections Blog – I read with more than a little amusement about Senator Mike Miller’s frustration concerning a pastor who had the nerve to close his opening prayer in the Senate chamber on March 25 by invoking the name of Jesus. Herewith the rant that ensued:

“Miller (D-Calvert) asked that Lehman’s remarks not be journalized, that is, saved for posterity. Then, sounding annoyed, he asked the secretary of the Senate, ‘Do we see these things ahead of time? Do we?’”

Visit the Reflections Blog of candidate Ron Miller ® Huntingtown to learn more about incumbent Mike Miller’s rather revealing derision of our Savior. I for one am tired of hearing my faith blasphemed by politicians who don’t have a higher power other than themselves. Ron Miller respects and will represent everyone regardless of their expression of faith. Ron is someone I respect and trust and I hope you will too come election time in 2010.

(RegularFolksUnited.com – by Ron Miller) “As we approach the end of the 21st century’s first decade, we are reaping the whirlwind brought about by one of the most deceptive and cunning politicians to come upon the scene in my generation. A man barely known outside of Illinois in the summer of 2004 is the President of the United States in 2009, becoming the leader of the world’s most powerful nation through an illusion not unlike the Wizard of Oz, all the while deflecting attention from the man behind the curtain.”
