1)Who runs and owns snopes.com are they more republican or democrate? | Answerbag c
Snopes is owned and run by Barbara and David Mikkelson, a Jewish California DEMOCRATIC couple who met on the alt.folklore.urban newsgroup. The site is organized by topic and includes a message board where stories and pictures of questionable veracity may be posted. The Mikkelsons founded the San Fernando Valley Folklore Society and were credited as the owners of the site until 2005.
Snopes Exposed?
In August 2010 this rumor morphed when President Obama appointed Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. An August 4, 2010 World Net Daily article alleged that this was a political payback for several cases questioning the President's citizenship that were denied by Kagan. Snopes reported that these allegations were false. Shortly after that inboxes were flooded with emails with the subject header "Snopes Exposed!" alleging that they lied about their findings to protect Obama. TruthOrFiction.com also investigated this rumor and found that World Net Daily released the story but the filed court cases did not question the President's birth records.
World Net Daily corrected the story and posted a comment that said, "An earlier version of this story incorrectly described a series of cases for which Elena Kagan represented the government as eligibility cases. Those cases, in fact, were a series of unrelated disputes pending before the Supreme Court and the references have been removed from this report." Click here for our findings.

The George Soros Connection?
In 2011 this eRumor once again went viral with the additional allegation that George Soros was financing Snopes. Snopes denies this on the F.A.Q. page on their website. Soros has been known to contribute to MoveOn.Org and Media Matters. They (Soros and Obama) have just taken 8 Billion out of the SS and Health Care Fund. Why do they need that much money? How can they do that?

2) The concept of young people learning through home and farm chores no longer deemed important by Obama's 'Big Brother Government' Bureaucrats.
Palin Blasts Labor Dept. Rules Banning Farm Chores
Sarah Palin took to Facebook Thursday to warn followers that the Obama administration’s attempt to control what chores children can do on a farm is not where the government’s intrusion will end.
“If you think the government’s new regs will stop at family farms, think again,” the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate wrote, according to Politico.
“The Obama Administration is working on regulations that would prevent children from working on our family farms. This is more overreach of the federal government with many negative consequences,” she said Wednesday in a post titled, “If I Wanted America to Fail, I’d Ban Kids From Farm Work.”
The proposed Department of Labor regulations would prevent anyone younger than 16 from participating in the cultivation, harvesting, and curing of tobacco, and from operating most power-driven machinery.
The proposed law would not apply to children working on family owned farms, but farm-state legislators say that rule shows the ignorance of Washington bureaucrats about the state of many farms.
"The department ultimately showed its complete lack of understanding of the structure of modern agriculture when it proposed banning youth from working on a farm or ranch not wholly owned by their parents. Something known as the 'parental exemption' allows farms jointly owned and operated by multiple family members — a common practice in rural America — discretion over the responsibilities given to youth on the farm," wrote Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., who introduced legislation with Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., to prevent the Labor Department from implementing the restrictions.
"The department’s original proposal significantly narrowed the application of the parental exemption," Moran continued. "It would have made it illegal for jointly owned farms and ranches to employ their family members."
The proposal has drawn plenty of criticism from other rural-district members of Congress. “Prohibited places of employment,” a Department press release read, “would include country grain elevators, grain bins, silos, feed lots, stockyards, livestock exchanges and livestock auctions.”
That's virtually everywhere on a typical farm.
First proposed Aug.31 by Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, the regulations would also revoke the government’s approval of safety training taught by independent groups like 4-H and FFA, replacing them instead with a 90-hour federal government training course. That's a huge blow to those groups, which are an important part of midwestern and southern farm culture.
“My family is a commercial fishing family, and commercial fishing in Alaska is much like the family farm (but the year ‘round farmers no doubt work harder than we do!). I guarantee fishing families wouldn’t stand for this nonsensical intrusion into our lives and livelihoods, and, as a former 4-H member, I don’t believe farm families will either,” Palin wrote. “Our kids learn to work and to help feed America on our nation’s farms, and out on the water.
“Federal government: get your own house in order and stop interfering in ours,” she concluded.

12April 26, 2012
For anyone who is reading our site regular will know that we have already written a article about "Hacking Democracy Via EVM : Your Vote May Not Count!"
In latest disturbing development, SCYTL is the name of the Barcelona-based company that now owns the rights to count most of the votes in the upcoming US Election.
Obama gave SCYTL company his blessing to provide their 'secure' voting services to the US Electoral process. It isn't bad enough that a foreign company will count the votes, but that company was just bought by one of Obama's puppet masters George Soros.
From The Western Center for Journalism in a piece entitled, "Spanish Company Will 'Count' American Votes Overseas In November,' they state the following in this excerpt:
"When the Spanish online voting company SCYTL bought the largest vote processing corporation in the United States, it also acquired the means of manufacturing the outcome of the 2012 election. For SOE, the Tampa based corporation purchased by SCYTL in January, supplies the election software which records, counts, and reports the votes of Americans in 26 states–900 total jurisdictions–across the nation. ..." Find the rest of the article @ http://www.westernjournalism.com/spanish-company-will-count-american-votes-overseas-in-november/
And if that doesn't make you squirm, George Soros is closely associated w/one of Obama's biggest contributors who, himself, is involved with SCYTL, the company that is going to count the votes!! Keep reading.

From: It Makes Sense Blog, (http://itmakessenseblog.com/2012/04/10/george-soros-will-control-your-votes-in-the-up-coming-presidential-election/) they allege that,
"GEORGE SOROS WILL CONTROL YOUR VOTES IN THE UP COMING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION -- Follow the bouncing ball on the criminal corruption ruse of your USA votes.
1.) The Obama Government has outsourced the counting of votes for the 2012 election. But since WHEN does the nation need to outsource a task as uncomplicated and straightforward as vote-counting?
2.) Obama outsorced the counting to a Tampa Florida company, named SOE, that had previously been used to administer the vote counting process for over 500 American jurisdictions.
3.) But recently, SOE software has now been sold to a company named SCYTL, owned by George Soros, headquartered in Spain.
4.) The votes will go to SCYTL, the question becomes as to WHY Must local votes for each precinct will be downloaded to SCYTL’s main server – leaving no TRACEABLE record of how many, and what votes were scored! Which of course means that said votes will be MERGED; and any discrepancies at lower levels will be IMPOSSIBLE to track. 5.) But wait, it gets murkier: SCYTL is shadow owned by Pere Valles, a former CEO of Global Net; who just HAPPENS to have been a maximum level contributor to the Obama Campaign in 2008. Not surprisingly, Valles is also has contacts with Media Matters, a communication consortium owned by: George Soros.
6.) Now the bad news: according to the “Black Box” voting site, this centralizes one “middleman” access point for over 525 voting jurisdictions: (AL, AZ, CA, CO, DC, FL, KY, MI, KS, IL, IN, NC, NM, MN, NY, SC, TX, UT, WA. – and growing)." The rest of the article is a click away.

This is a rush transcript from "On the Record," April 26, 2012. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Vice President Joe Biden goes after Governor Mitt Romney, blasting the governor about his foreign policy. Listen to this.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JOSEPH BIDEN, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: In the face of the challenges we now understand are ahead of us, what would Governor Romney do? Well, the truth is, we don't know for certain.
So it seems to me that Governor Romney's fundamental thinking about the role of the president in foreign policy is fundamentally wrong. Look, in my view, he would take us back to dangerous and discredited policies that would make America less safe and America less secure.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
VAN SUSTEREN: Former U.N. ambassador John Bolton joins us. Good evening, sir.
JOHN BOLTON, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR/FORMER U.S. AMBASSADOR TO THE U.N.: Glad to be here.
VAN SUSTEREN: So the administration rolls out Vice President Biden to do foreign policy. I guess it's the start of the general election. What do you think about the vice president's speech?
BOLTON: Well, it was interesting that he spent a good part of it trying to say that, actually, Governor Romney is just George Bush all over again, which is exactly what the president's saying been on domestic issues for three-and-a-half years.
And there is a lot about the way the president has conducted foreign policy to try and distinguish himself from the Bush administration, but I think therein lies their central problem. When your strategy consists largely of saying, I'm not that guy, it's no wonder it comes out confused and incoherent and incompetent, which is a pretty good description of the Obama foreign policy.
VAN SUSTEREN: How do you -- I mean, I think it's probably unfair to do this because foreign policy is so fluid and there are so many countries and different approaches involved and different serious issues. But how would you describe, in a couple sentences, Governor Romney's foreign policy? And how would you describe President Obama's?
BOLTON: Well, I think Romney is in the long stream of Republican presidents and candidates who believe in the doctrine of peace through strength, that a strong America is less likely to face challenges and difficulties than a weak America.
Obama has a very different view. He's obviously comfortable with American decline. He doesn't see international problems and threats as being nearly as serious as they are in the terrorism area, the proliferation area and others. And he's presiding over a hollowing out of the American military, which I think will have significant down sides for us in the years to come.
VAN SUSTEREN: Well, he's certainly -- I mean, he's certainly been aggressive, like, use of drones against terrorists in Pakistan, al Qaeda leader last week, and of course, no one could forget almost a year ago, Usama bin Laden being taken out, upon his decision for the go-ahead for the SEALs.
But it seems to me, like, stepping back, it seems that -- I don't see countries sort of stepping back and sort of -- or stepping down, rather. I see countries trying to sort of step up in terms of missile testing, nuclear -- nuclear threats, or at least testing, things that -- the saber rattling with Iran. Am I right, or am I just -- are those hot spots always been hot even under other administrations?
BOLTON: No, I think the pace of proliferation is increasing -- North Korea, Iran. We've just seen missile tests by India and Pakistan. I think others are watching and drawing the conclusion that we are not going to be successful -- we, the United States, are not going to be successful in stopping this proliferation. That will simply encourage them to do more on their own.
And in the war on terrorism, you know, the administration's line is, We've killed Usama bin Laden and key al Qaeda leaders along the Afghan/Pakistan border. That's fine, except Taliban is growing in influence, and along with them, al Qaeda. Al Qaeda has increased its influence in the Arabian peninsula, in the Magreb, throughout the Middle East, in Somalia. So the threat of terrorism continues to grow.
VAN SUSTEREN: You know, it seems that many people come to the office of president, don't have foreign policy experience. Certainly governors don't. Senator Obama did not. Governor Bush did not. But it's sort of it's -- you know, it's a trial by fire, almost, when you become president, foreign policy.
Do you think it's important for a presidential candidate to pick someone who's steeped in foreign policy experience, something Senator -- Senator Biden, whether you -- I mean, Senator -- then Senator Obama did with Senator Biden, then Senator Biden, although whether you agree with him or not, at least he's steeped in it.
Should Governor Romney be looking for someone like that?
BOLTON: Well, I think somebody along the lines of Dick Cheney would be a better choice than Joe Biden. I think, in Romney's case, he doesn't need balance on the foreign policy side. He's had extensive international experience both in his business career, as governor of Massachusetts, and in something that's not well heralded, I think, his success with the Salt Lake City Olympics.
I used to deal with Olympics in the Bush 41 administration. I can tell you, it often makes the United Nations look simple by comparison. So I think that Governor Romney's really got that background already.
I think the problem with Obama is that unlike every American president since Franklin Roosevelt, he does not get up every morning saying, My first priority is to find out what threats the U.S. faces internationally. That's what distinguishes him. That's why he's such a problem.
VAN SUSTEREN: Well, I guess -- I mean, I don't -- not to diminish, you know, Governor Romney's contribution in terms of the Olympics or his business internationally. I do think it's a little different dealing with countries on issues of war. I also think the fact that we have at least established relationships, someone who's -- someone who has -- you know, is steeped in these relationships for years may be -- may be an asset, maybe not.
BOLTON: Well, I think the criterion that's most important of all for vice president, obviously, is capacity to govern. And that can come in a lot of different ways. Very few people have 360 degrees experience with all the issues that a vice president would have to assume if he became president
Obviously, foreign policy, national security's a critical element, and that is something that's part of governing.
VAN SUSTEREN: You know, it's interesting to watch the speech today, Vice President Biden -- imagine someone who -- who's like you, sort of an international policy wonk, who's been steeped in this, would find it fascinating.
But if you sort of step back, you know, it was given at NYU, college students, who are interested in it, but probably very little interest beyond that. I mean, this is sort of -- you know, it's interesting for people who are following this closely, but I bet most of the electorate never saw the speech, won't ever hear about it, probably won't even read a newspaper article about it.
BOLTON: Well, I think the Secret Service may have overtaken the speech in many respects.
(LAUGHTER)
BOLTON: But I thought the best part of it was at one point, trying to appropriate yet another Republican president, Biden said, You have to speak softly and carry a big stick. And then he said, I promise you, President Obama has a big stick. And the audience broke out laughing, which is some measure of their belief about how assertive Obama is on behalf of our interests internationally.
VAN SUSTEREN: Yes, it's -- apparently, that's also going to -- that's made a couple -- a lot of -- a lot of jokes, too, on the Internet. It is - - apparently, that is something that's not going to go away, at least for a while, for Vice President Biden, that remark.
BOLTON: Yet another one.
VAN SUSTEREN: Indeed. Well, it will be interesting to see, you know, what -- how -- I imagine that Governor Romney will be responding soon with foreign policy.
BOLTON: Well, I'd be delighted to have more of a debate on national security in this presidential campaign because I think Americans do understand that if you don't have a strong and assertive United States internationally, you cannot have sustained domestic prosperity over the long term. It's just not possible.
I think Obama doesn't understand that connection. I think we can see it every day in his policies internationally.
VAN SUSTEREN: We'll all be watching. Nice to see you, Ambassador.
BOLTON: Thank you.
