State Department Apologies For Attacks On American Embassy in Egypt!!!!!

This is a copy of the statement issued by the Sate Department Embassy in Egypt, you judge the merits of this response. "The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims, as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions of those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others." Our Embassy was attacked by murderous thugs and then apologies to those thugs for hurting their feelings, how can that possibly be justified? Has this country sunk so low that we no longer even know right from wrong? Well, yes we have and this kind of utterly stupid, totally distorted official statement proves it. Consider that in the name of free speech our government has funded a number of exhibits so offensive to Christians it's beyond belief. I hope most people remember the upside down Crucifix in a jar of urine and the Christ covered with feces. There was apology from the government then but now an apology is made to terrorist who had their feelings hurt because the truth was told about the murderous, child rapist who taught, convert or be killed. Of course not all Muslims are part of this more radical group but they have supported the more crazy adherents by remaining silent. The apology speaks of "the universal right of free speech", you go to a Muslim controlled nation where Sharia law is in place and see how much free speech is available. Iran now holds a Christian Minister under a death penalty for the "horrible" crime of converting from Islam to Christianity and refusing to deny Christ. All across this nation Christians are under attack with officials ordering the suspension of public prayers, removal of Crosses from long establishments Memorials. Those who speak out about the sexual perversions are condemned and threatened with prosecutions for "Hate crimes". That last sentence in the apology is so very telling of the truth about this nations ideology toward religion, We must be tolerant of all religions that threaten to kill millions if offended but Christians and Jews are OK to offend and to discriminate against because they will just take it and not kill over those numerous offenses. Folks, you don't have to believe me just do your own research, Islam is not a religion of peace, it's not even a true religion but a political movement. A movement that has caused the deaths of more people and suppressed the God given rights of more people than any thing in human history. Mohammad was a cheap political assassin who preached murder or submission, who had numerous wives but still found time to rape small girls. To not condemn this movement and these actions is a betrayal of everything good about America and her people.

One Ambassador, Three Embassy Staff Murdered; Obama's Response "

White House apology to Muslims: "The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others" "This is how Obama celebrates 9/11. By condemning those who ‘hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.’ After radical Islamists attacked the US Embassy in Cairo over what they claim was a film in production that apparently ‘insults the Prophet Mohammed’ the Obama regime isn’t interested in condemning those who attack our embassy. Instead, it’s much more important to attack people like the film maker and those who ‘hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.’" Reprinted Just as he did to the terrorist that destroyed the World Trade Center and the lives of millions of Americans, Obama has again apologized for the murderous Muslims responsible. His infamous policy of "leading from behind" in Libya is as disastrous as his economic policy, only difference is he hasn't apologized to the 23,000,000 unemployed.

Why Is Deceit And Untruths So Dominate With The County Executive?

I requested to speak before the special called meeting of the County Legislative Body on 10 September 2012 about the matter of the budget which is the only business on the agenda to be discussed today. My request was denied because the County Executive incorrectly reads T.C.A. 5-5-105 as prohibiting any discussion of business in a special called meeting. This was my response to that rejection; "I received your letter rejecting my request to address the Special Called Meeting of the Giles County Legislative Body to be held on 10 September 2012 at 9A.M. in the Giles County Courthouse. I am very disappointed that you have rejected my request but even more disappointed that you have used Tennessee Code Annotated 5-5-105, a copy of which I have included with this letter. I suggest that a more careful reading of this Code will reveal, that nothing I have requested is out of compliance, nor prohibited by TCA 5-5-105. As you know TCA 5-5-105 (c) (1) states, “The call shall be made by publication in some newspaper published in the county, or by personal notices sent by the county clerk, at least five (5) days before the time of the convening of the county legislative body, which call or notice shall specify the objects and purposes for which the special session is called, and no other business but that embraced in the call shall be transacted during the sitting of the special term”. As you can see plainly Tennessee Code Annotated, appropriately as does Robert's Rules of Order, states only business that is specified in the announcement of the called meeting shall be transacted. I do not disagree with that limitation but the problem is the deceitful and wrong way this Code is being misused. . I clearly stated in my request that the only business I sought to speak on was the budget, which starts out over $600,000.00 in the hole even with the exaggerated projections of greatly increased revenue. I have posted T.C.A. 5-5-105 for everyone to read and decide, is Mrs Vanzant's interpretation and use of this law appropriate or is this just another effort to shut down any debate and allow her to continued running the county in secret and into bankruptcy
