			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>     When the iPad was released, there was mention of a Netflix app for the iPhone and iPod coming in the near future.  As a Netflix customer and iPhone owner, I waited patiently.  Today, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that the most downloaded app was the new Netflix app, which I quickly downloaded.</p>
<p>     If you check out the reviews, customers have only rated it 3 stars, and there are some criticisms.  Personally, I haven&#8217;t experienced any problems.  I was able to access my instant queue, add movies, and watch movies without any problem.  Functions such as rewinding and fast forwarding also worked flawlessly.  I&#8217;m not sure what&#8217;s going on with the other users, but it works just fine on my iPhone 3gs.<span id="more-716"></span></p>
<p>     The best part is that the app is free and you can link your current Netflix account without any additional charges.  It really is amazing.  Think about it: For your regular $8.99 Netflix membership fee, you can stream tens of thousands of movies, TV shows, concerts, and documentaries straight to your iPhone, iPod, or iPad.  I&#8217;ve had it a day, and it&#8217;s already my favorite app.</p>
<p>      There is one thing I should warn you about: If you don&#8217;t have an unlimited data plan or wifi, use it cautiously, or you will get a huge bill.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>     If you needed more proof about the Obama Administration&#8217;s disconnect from the average American, here it is: The State Department wrote a report to the United Nation&#8217;s human rights commissioner detailing <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100828/ap_on_re_us/us_brewer_un_report" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fnews.yahoo.com%2Fs%2Fap%2F20100828%2Fap_on_re_us%2Fus_brewer_un_report','the+federal+government%22s+attempt+to+derail+Arizona%22s+immigration+law')">the federal government&#8217;s attempt to derail Arizona&#8217;s immigration law</a>. </p>
<p>     Yes, you read that correctly.  Essentially, the federal government is categorizing a state law as a human rights abuse, and detailing how they plan to stop it with court challenges.  Of course, they probably don&#8217;t mention that it merely codifies federal law at the state level, and has the support of an overwhelming majority of Americans.  Those facts were conveniently not mentioned in order to make us better fit in with the world community that Barry Obama is constantly trying to appease with apologies.<span id="more-714"></span></p>
<p>     I have no doubt that Barack Obama and his administration would love to have open borders and essentially gut existing immigration laws rather than merely not enforcing them.  Of course, he doesn&#8217;t have the nerve to come out and say it.  Although, he did come out in support of the <a href="http://pundit.net/2010/08/24/the-ground-zero-mega-mosque/" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fpundit.net%2F2010%2F08%2F24%2Fthe-ground-zero-mega-mosque%2F','Ground+Zero+Victory+Mosque')">Ground Zero Victory Mosque</a>, so who knows what he is liable to say?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>     As you&#8217;ve probably heard, there are plans in the works to build a 15 story Muslim community center near Ground Zero.  The location is about two blocks from the former site of the Twin Towers, and would include a mosque, classroom space, and other amenities for the community.  Some have compared it to a Jewish community center or a YMCA, which sounds correct on a superficial level.  Of course, there are differences.</p>
<p>     Let me begin by stating that Muslims have every legal right to build a mosque at that location.  As long as all local zoning laws are satisfied, there&#8217;s no reason why it shouldn&#8217;t be built.  Yet, while this building would seem to serve a function similar to that of a Jewish community center or a YMCA, only a fool can&#8217;t see the difference.<span id="more-712"></span></p>
<p>     On September 11th, 2001, the United States was attacked.  The nineteen terrorists were Muslims, they were members of Al Qaeda, which is an Islamic terrorist group, and if I remember correctly, there were several news reports of widespread celebrations in the MIddle East when news of the attack broke.  I know the perpetrators were extremists, and I&#8217;m certainly no theologian, but it&#8217;s rather obvious that there is a propensity toward violence in Islam that is not found in Judaism or Christianity.  To deny this is disingenuous.</p>
<p>     Even if you only agree with part of my argument, you would probably point out that the Ground Zero Mosque will be run by Feisal Abdul Rauf, a moderate Imam.  Of course, this isn&#8217;t true.  Shortly after 9/11, he blamed the United States for being an <a href="http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_080610/content/01125115.guest.html" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rushlimbaugh.com%2Fhome%2Fdaily%2Fsite_080610%2Fcontent%2F01125115.guest.html','%22accessory%22')">&#8220;accessory&#8221;</a> who brought on the 9/11 attacks.  By the way, he also says the United States has <a href="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2010/08/explosive-in-faisals-own-words.html" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fatlasshrugs2000.typepad.com%2Fatlas_shrugs%2F2010%2F08%2Fexplosive-in-faisals-own-words.html','more+blood+on+its+hands+than+Al+Qaeda')">more blood on its hands than Al Qaeda</a>.  Remember, this is someone referred to as a moderate Muslim.</p>
<p>     I would prefer to see the mosque built somewhere else.  If all legal requirements are met, then there is no reason why it shouldn&#8217;t be allowed to be built.  Of course, mosque supporters shouldn&#8217;t be surprised when a majority of Americans oppose a mosque on this particular site.  3,000 Americans were killed by 19 Muslims, who were backed by an Islamic terrorist organization, then widely celebrated in the Middle East.  If the mosque is built, we don&#8217;t need to like it, and we certainly don&#8217;t need to pretend we are fine with it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>      Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia passed away this morning.  Byrd, who was 92, had been in Congress since the early 1950&#8217;s.  When someone of his stature passes away, many in the media are quick to eulogize.  In this case, it isn&#8217;t deserved.</p>
<p>     Robert Byrd took pride in excessive government spending, especially when he brought it back to his native West Virgina.  The <a href="http://www.wvgazette.com/News/201006280099" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wvgazette.com%2FNews%2F201006280099','continued+well+into+his+life')" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wvgazette.com%2FNews%2F201006280099','%22King+of+Pork%22')">&#8220;King of Pork&#8221;</a> never saw wasteful spending he didn&#8217;t like, as long as it benefited his state.  Of course, this wasn&#8217;t the worst of Robert Byrd&#8217;s actions.<span id="more-709"></span></p>
<p>     In case you weren&#8217;t aware, Robert Byrd was a proud member of the <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/politicaljunkie/2010/06/28/128161799/now-the-focus-is-on-byrd-s-successor-gov-manchin-won-t-appoint-himself?ft=1&#038;f=1014" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.npr.org%2Fblogs%2Fpoliticaljunkie%2F2010%2F06%2F28%2F128161799%2Fnow-the-focus-is-on-byrd-s-successor-gov-manchin-won-t-appoint-himself%3Fft%3D1%26f%3D1014','Ku+Klux+Klan')">Ku Klux Klan</a> before he entered Congress.  According to him, it was a good way to start his political career, and later on he apologized for being a member.  Personally, I never believed his explanation.  If he would allegedly join the Ku Klux Klan because it was politically expedient, then wouldn&#8217;t this same man also not hesitate to criticize this group because of its current political expedience?</p>
<p>     Let&#8217;s not forget that besides being a member of the Ku Klux Klan, he fought vehemently against the Civil Rights Act in 1964 and filibustered the bill.  This was about 20 years after he left the Klan.  It seems like his membership in the Klan might have been a bit more than a youthful indiscretion.  </p>
<p>     Of course, Byrd&#8217;s supporters would also tell you about how much he loved his country.  Again, I feel this is exaggerated.  If you need proof, just look at this letter Robert Byrd wrote to Senatore Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi in 1944, at the age of 26:</p>
<blockquote><p>
I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side&#8230; Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.
</p></blockquote>
<p>      That doesn&#8217;t sound like a man who loved his country.  That sounds like a devout racist who put his evil beliefs above his country.  Robert C. Byrd was a racist who didn&#8217;t deserve to serve in the halls of Congress.  There are also signs that his behavior <a href="http://www.wvgazette.com/News/201006280099" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wvgazette.com%2FNews%2F201006280099','continued+well+into+his+life')" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wvgazette.com%2FNews%2F201006280099','%22King+of+Pork%22')">continued well into his life</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>As late as 2001, Byrd used the phrase &#8220;white niggers&#8221; in a nationally televised interview. He later apologized and said, &#8220;The phrase dates back to my boyhood and has no place in today&#8217;s society.&#8221;</p>
<p>Byrd endorsed Barack Obama for president in 2008, but waited until after West Virginia&#8217;s Democratic primary, which Obama lost badly.
</p></blockquote>
<p>     What I find disgusting is the way people all over the country will pay tribute to this man.  I have no doubt he will be honored by Democrats from around the United States.  These are the same people who will call Republicans racists for opposing illegal immigration, yet they conveniently ignore the racist in their presence.  I wonder if Robert Byrd ever lynched anyone when he was a young man?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>     It appears that the Arizona law created to <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-06-08-immigration_N.htm" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usatoday.com%2Fnews%2Fnation%2F2010-06-08-immigration_N.htm','reduce+illegal+immigration')">reduce illegal immigration</a> is working&#8230;and it hasn&#8217;t gone into effect yet!  This is great news for Arizona, which will likely start seeing fewer law-breakers within its borders over the coming weeks.</p>
<p>     Some may argue that this will just push illegal aliens into neighboring states.  This is true, which is why other states need to pass laws which make life difficult for those who ignore our laws.  So, where will all these people go?  I have a few ideas.</p>
<p>     After the law was passed, San Francisco and Los Angeles both announced boycotts against Arizona.  Perhaps those cities would be good destinations for illegal aliens.  After all, these cities don&#8217;t mind paying almost $15,000 per year to educate each of their children, or the strain they will place on their city.  As a matter of fact, I often hear advocates of illegal immigration and open borders talk about how illegal aliens add much more to their community than they take.  If that&#8217;s true, we would expect to see an economic renaissance in those cities.  Hopefully, it will happen and we will see the true affect of illegal immigration.</p>

The latest bit of nonsense comes after a 15 year old Mexican citizen was shot and killed by U.S. border patrol agents.  The boy&#8217;s group came across the border and some were detained.  When this happened, they began hurling rocks at agents, who needed to defend themelves.</p>
<p>     The group came into the United States illegally, then started assaulting federal agents.  Despite this, Felipe Calderone says Mexico &#8220;will use all resources available to protect the rights of Mexican migrants.&#8221; <span id="more-705"></span></p>
<p>     Did I miss something?  These individuals crossed the border illegally, then assaulted the men and women responsible for enforcing our laws.  Calderone should be happy that U.S. agents showed as much restraint as they did.  </p>
<p>     Someone needs to tell Felipe Calderone that the United States doesn&#8217;t own anything to Mexico.  We&#8217;re not under any obligation to take their citizens, and we will not have our laws called into questions by foreign countries.  Especially when that country has more stringent laws than our own.</p>
<p>     The perfect person to address this situation would be the President.  Unfortunately, we are currently stuck with a man who seems to favor open borders and has a disdain toward border protection.  I still haven&#8217;t heard any comments from Barack Obama on this topic, but I&#8217;m sure he will find a way to blame the border patrol and apologize to the lawless Mexican citizens.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>     Just when you thought the iPhone couldn&#8217;t get any better, it does.  <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703303904575292703491815956.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_LEFTTopStories" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj.com%2Farticle%2FSB10001424052748703303904575292703491815956.html%3Fmod%3DWSJ_hpp_LEFTTopStories','The+new+model')">The new model</a> will be slimmer, have expanded battery life, a front-facing camera for video conferencing, a 5 megapixel camera with flash, folders for apps, and high def resolution.  If you&#8217;re a nerd, you probably want to get this ASAP.</p>
<p>     The new model will be available on June 24th, and will be available in a 16gb model for $199, and a 32gb model for $299 (both with a 2 year contract).  To top it off, Netflix also announced a new app that will be available this summer, which will allow users to stream movies on their phone.  Unfortunately, the news isn&#8217;t all good.<span id="more-703"></span></p>
<p>     If you&#8217;ve been following tech news lately, then you know that AT&#038;T is going to eliminate their unlimited data packages.  That leaves new subscribers with a choice of a $15 package which includes 200mb of data, and a $25 package which allows 2gb of data.  AT&#038;T claims that the vast majority of its users are below the 2gb level, but with apps like Netflix, more people will undoubtedly be joining the 2gb+ club.  It&#8217;s unfortunate that AT&#038;T&#8217;s changes to its data plan has put a damper on Apple and Netflix&#8217;s good news and innovation.</p>
<p>     If you currently have an unlimited data plan, you will be allowed to keep it.  If you don&#8217;t, do your best to use wifi!</p>

He&#8217;s so angry, that he&#8217;s looking for some &#8220;<a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2010/06/07/obama_seeking_ass_to_kick_over_oil_spill.html" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.realclearpolitics.com%2Fvideo%2F2010%2F06%2F07%2Fobama_seeking_ass_to_kick_over_oil_spill.html','ass+to+kick')">ass to kick</a>&#8220;.  By the way, that&#8217;s a direct quote from the tough-guy-in-chief.</p>
<p>     Barack Obama has been getting a lot of criticism for his calm demeanor since the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.  Even some supporters wish he would get fired up.  I don&#8217;t know about you, but his statement about kicking ass seems a bit forced, and quite frankly, laughable.  For his sake, someone in his inner circle needs to tell him to drop the forced routine.  This is government, not the <a href="http://www.wwe.com" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wwe.com','WWE')">WWE</a>.</p>

<p>I have a great idea.  Maybe Miss Thomas can move to Iran and write about the Iranian government.  I&#8217;m sure her views would be very popular with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.</p>

<p>     According to the quote at the end of the video, the <del datetime="2010-06-03T00:57:02+00:00">peaceful</del> activists on board the ship were not surprised to encounter a problem, and were prepared for martyrdom.  Their intention seemed to be to provoke Israel.  According to several reports, Israeli soldiers were attacked, and after seeing this clip, I have no doubt those reports are true.</p>
