Did a North Dakota community really name its landfill after President Obama?

Snopes

In an overwhelming 35-10 vote, the state Senate advanced a bill naming a 650-acre site currently under construction after the nation's 44th president. Governor Jack Dalrymple is expected to sign the measure into law Tuesday. 

When completed, the Barack Obama Memorial Landfill will be the largest waste disposal site in North Dakota, and the 17th largest in the United States. It will be especially rich in toxic waste from the local petroleum and medical industries. 

"We wanted to do something to honor the president," says Republican State Senator Doug Perlman, who was the lead sponsor of the bill. "And I think a pile of garbage is a fitting tribute to Obama's presidency."

"In addition to the disclaimer, the article is plainly false due to the use of fictitious quotes from imaginary people. Doug Perlman and Allison Mitchell, two politicians quoted in the article, are not senators from North Dakota. " . . .

Obama's 'National Lampoon Latin American Vacation'

. . . "Indeed, the majority of Obama’s speech essentially was meant to lower the esteem and prestige of the United States and to reduce its stature in the eyes of the Cuban people to curry favor and conform more closely to the communist nation of the Castros.' .  .  .

.. . . "It is now even more apparent that Obama, being in his last year of an arrogant, belligerent, divisive and highly destructive presidency, believes that he can do whatever he wants, regardless of appearances. He is consciously disparaging the United States as his final payback for what he views as hundreds of years of continuing racial discrimination toward African-Americans and, more recently, his fellow Muslims. Like the low-class staffs of Bill and Hillary Clinton that vandalized computers and furniture on their way out the White House door, to show their disdain for incoming President George W. Bush after his victory in the court case challenging the ballot count in Florida, Obama’s persecution complex and latent hatred has caused him to trash our Judeo-Christian national heritage and national security as his final days in the peoples’ house hopefully comes to an end.

"This president, put simply, is a national and international disgrace. Nothing more needs to be said. We the People must now go forth to rebuild our great nation and seek justice for the severely damaging and frequently “criminal actions” of Obama and his comrades.

David Kupelian explores what it really means to 'take up your cross'

"THE PASSION OF THE CHRISTIAN"

World Net Daily

“And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”– Mark 8:34-37
“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”– Luke 9:23
“And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.”– Matthew 10:38

 

 . . . "No, if God wanted to demonstrate His love for us, and at the same time provide us with the perfect, ultimate example of real love for our fellow man, what could be a more perfect expression of love than the willing suffering and death of His Son – Who while dying asked God to forgive His tormentors? The sheer beauty, logic and power of it is transcendent. If you’re looking for love in this loveless world, that’s it." . . .

Grayson: Reid 'lied about me'. Karma or what?

A plague on both their houses.

The Hill

. . . "In the statement, Reid accused Grayson of using his position as a congressman to “unethically promote his Cayman Islands hedge funds, and he should drop out of the Senate race immediately.”

“ 'It’s pathetic that somebody would make a statement like that based upon a false accusation,” Grayson told The Hill’s Molly K. Hooper. “My goodness, it’s in Ten Commandments — thou shall not bear false witness*. And that’s exactly what he’s done; he lied about me.”

"The House Ethics Committee is considering whether to open an investigation into Grayson and has said it will make a decision by April 5. The Florida Senate primary — in which Grayson is seeking to upset the establishment choice, Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Fla.) — will be held on March 15." . . .

*Ask Grayson how much he enjoyed Reid's made up public claim that Mitt Romney hadn't paid his taxes in years. Alan Grayson might be a good choice for a Sanders ticket. "False witness" Grayson says? What about this statement of his: "Republicans want you to die quickly"?
