One of my readers wrote a wonderful message to Discovery Channel, sent to http://corporate.discovery.com/contact/viewer-relations. Those words follow:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I am very troubled by the planned programming of "The 99" which, in my opinion, glorifies Islam and indoctrinates our children in stealth fashion to Islamic “values” with the use of comic strip characters. I have reviewed your current Discovery for Kids programming and see no other shows approaching the topic of religion. Any religion. If this new program is meant to teach tolerance of Islam within America’s Judeo-Christian culture, then it is fair to expect that Discovery for Kids will create additional shows which glorify the Judeo-Christian (and perhaps other) religions to teach tolerance of these within the Islamic culture. After all, aren’t radical Muslims the ones who believe that all infidels (i.e., those who do not believe in Islam) should be killed in the name of Allah? But I imagine this will be left out of your show.
As if the proposed content of “The 99” were not controversial enough, the names you have chosen for your comic strip characters are absolutely denigrating to Americans… While your Muslim characters' names (Jabbar the Powerful and Widad the Loving) are positive and alluring, your American character's name (Darr The Afflicter) is both negative and disagreeable. What sort of message is this sending to our young, impressionable children about America and being American? Or perhaps this is part of the plan towards indoctrination… Make them feel so bad about their country and themselves that they convert to a more “peaceful” and “tolerant” society. Rubbish!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------American Thinker writes about Barack Obama: By way of executive proclamation, President Obama has secured for himself the power to declare martial law in the event of a national "emergency," real or contrived, and without the accountability typically required by the Posse Comitatus Act and the Nation Emergencies Act of 1976.
This is the legacy of the "conservative" Bush administration. National emergencies have now been transformed into power-grabbing devices thanks to the virtually unnoticed National Security Presidential Directive (NSPD) 51.
NSPD 51 empowers the president to co-opt all state and local government authority in the event that he declares a national emergency. This is a self-declared power not subjugated to the National Emergencies Act of 1976 as in previous directives.
President Obama quickly went beyond NSPD 51, signing an order creating a "Council of Governors" who would be put in charge of declaring martial law. The directive is in direct violation of Posse Comitatus and the Insurrection Act. This "Council of Governors" answers only to President Obama.
In October of last year, President Obama declared a national emergency in the midst of the much-hyped swine flu crisis. This declaration was largely overlooked. By combining his October declaration with the provisions of NSPD 51, President Obama [and any future President] can now be considered virtually uninhibited by Congress and free to flip the switch at any moment. http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/12/feed_me_obama_feed_me_the_plan.html

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 21% of Likely U.S. Voters want the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to regulate the Internet as it does radio and television. Fifty-four percent (54%) are opposed to such regulation, and 25% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

(CNSNews.com) - The federal government has accumulated more new debt--$3.22 trillion ($3,220,103,625,307.29)—during the tenure of the 111th Congress than it did during the first 100 Congresses combined, according to official debt figures published by the U.S. Treasury.
That equals $10,429.64 in new debt for each and every one of the 308,745,538 people counted in the United States by the 2010 Census. [Now can we finally stop hearing about the Bush debts?] http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/111th-congress-added-more-debt-first-100
