Another reminder for the American People starting with President Barack Obama in Raleigh, NC where seven people who were charged with Terrorist activities. Some have history in the Soviet/Afghanistan War of the 1980’s.
Ironically with President who has dropped the phrase “War on Terror with with the phrase “enduring struggle against terrorism and extremism” will face the issue head on in Raleigh Today which he trying to focus on the Health Care Reform act; which is the reason he coming to the Triangle area and its need passage by Friday in the House of Representatives in Washington,D.C.
The ringleader an American Daniel Patrick Boyd 39 of Johnston County, N.C. in rural suburban Raleigh a red head man white man, his sons Zakariya Boyd 20, Dylan Boyd,22; Ziyad Yaghi, 21. Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan, 22; Hysen Sherifi 24, ; Anes Subasic, 33. All are American citizens except Sherifi who is a Kosovo national who is a US legal resident.
Boyd who goes by “Saifullah” which means Sword of God worked to provide resources to terrorist over the past three years. Boyd converted Islam in the early 1980’s and has been to Afghanistan and Pakistan at the End of the Afghan/ Soviet war around 1988. That may have ferment hate for his country.

An LA Times blogger Melissa Healy of Booster Shots blog On Monday tells of plans to pay for “Public-option” health care by taxing bad food with a tax. The tax would range from 10 to 30% on fast food, candy, cakes; pies, etc.The plans coming from Urban Institute. This scheme is employed by the United Kingdom in form of tax on least healthy food recently. This would catch the British possibly $ 250 million (US) over 5 years, and in 10 years the Kingdom would possibly collect $544 million.
While that may solve the obesity problem. We in the United States like to make up our own minds. This nation has become nanny state and we are losing our independents. I admit to being a sweet eater. There area days I just don’t eat sweets or salty products and I am obese. This is should be an individual choice.
As much as smoking. In which the feds as well as state and local government taking off cigarette advertising, restricting where to smoke both in public and private. What bugs me liberal accuse conservative of trying to control sexual behavior. On one big problem we fail epically. ( Mark Sanford,John Ensign, Mark Foley; Larry Craig an Ted Haggard just to name a few). Federal court have struck down any all legislation to protect children from porn because of the 1 st Amendment. But liberals have been controlling behavior. I hate smoking I try to encourage my dad quit. And he did before he had a heart attack back in 1982. (Thank God he survive.) People do quit doing bad behavior. It’s their decision. Let leave at that.
This is one of the many reason that I am no longer a Democrat( I am neither a Republican.) Many people make that decision. This should be individual choice.
