On 11/11/09 I posted an article called "The Leading Edge Of Shariah Law". Here's some more about Nonie Darwish... And what might very well be our future!
Free Speech Silenced at Columbia and Princeton
By Pamela Geller@ AmericanThinker.com
Nonie Darwish, the executive director of Former Muslims United and author of Cruel And Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law, was scheduled to speak at Columbia and Princeton Universities last week, but both events were canceled under pressure from Muslim groups on campus.
Remember, we are talking about Columbia University, where Ahmadinejad was welcomed like a returning king.
Just hours before Darwish was scheduled to speak at Columbia, the groups that had invited her to both universities, the Whig-Clio Student Debate Society and Tigers for Israel, succumbed to demands from student Muslim groups and canceled her speaking event. Tigers for Israel, my eye. Their name mocks them. The Whig-Clio Society is the oldest debating society in the U.S., founded by James Madison in 1765. These are the students who are supposed to be the leaders of the future. What a joke.
Look how the cancellation went down at Princeton. Look at the systematic bullying. This is the state of freedom of speech in the age of jihad. Arab Society president Sami Yabroudi and former president Sarah Mousa issued a joint statement, claiming: "Nonie Darwish is to Arabs and Muslims what Ku Klux Klan members, skinheads, and neo-Nazis are to other minorities, and we decided that the role of her talk in the logical, intellectual discourse espoused by Princeton University needed to be questioned."
KKK? Neo-Nazi? Nonie Darwish was scheduled to speak about Sharia law and Israel, about standing up for human rights against jihad.
But the sponsors of her talk immediately caved. Whig-Clio president Ben Weisman said: "Our decision to co-host the event was based on our belief that by extending an offer to speak to Ms. Darwish, members of TFI deemed her views a legitimate element of the mainstream discourse and in part agreed with her incendiary opinions. By rescinding their offer, TFI indicated their understanding that Darwish's views have no place in the campus community."
Tigers for Israel said in a statement:
On Tuesday evening Tigers for Israel and Whig-Clio rescinded our cosponsorship of today's Nonie Darwish Lecture. Tigers for Israel accepted the opportunity for her to speak based on a misconception about what she actually believes. After her anti-Islam position was brought to my attention on Tuesday afternoon by the Center for Jewish Life director Rabbi Julie Roth and the Muslim Chaplain Imam Sohaib Sultan, I conducted extensive research and discussed the issue with TFI and Whig-Clio leadership, and we decided to rescind our cosponsorship after concluding that Tigers for Israel disagrees with and does not condone Ms. Darwish and her beliefs on Islam. ... As President of TFI I take full responsibility for not vetting Ms. Darwish from the beginning, and I sincerely apologize for offending any person or group on campus, especially the Muslim community. Tigers for Israel deeply regrets the initial sponsorship and we do not in any way endorse her views.
Cowards. Pathetic cowards. Haven't these Ivy-League know-nothings done their homework? Have they studied Islam? Jihad? Have they read Dr. Andrew Bostom's The Legacy of Jihad and his Legacy of Islamic Anti-Semitism? Here is something they don't know: Sohaib Sultan, who helped get the Darwish lecture canceled, wrote the book The Koran for Dummies. In that book, he says that the medieval Islamic scholar Ibn Kathir is the "most referred to" authority on Islam "in the Muslim world today." Sultan says that Ibn Kathir offers "an excellent collection of historical analysis on the Koran and his mastery of Islamic law makes his insights especially interesting." Yet Ibn Kathir taught that Muslims should wage jihad against Jews and Christians and impose laws upon them that would make them "disgraced, humiliated and belittled." Ibn Kathir said that "Muslims are not allowed to honor the people of Dhimmah [Jews and Christians] or elevate them above Muslims, for they are miserable, disgraced and humiliated."
So who really resembles the KKK or neo-Nazis? A courageous woman standing up for human rights for Muslim women and ex-Muslims, or a Muslim imam who holds up as an authority someone who says that non-Muslims should be disgraced, humiliated, and belittled?
Darwish told me that she was shocked that just weeks after an Islamic attack on a military base on U.S. soil, the largest such attack in U.S. history, activists who speak the truth about Islam are being shut down and marginalized.
In another assault on free speech last week, students threw pies at a Robert Spencer event at NYU. What's next? Grenades?
For those of us who are chronicling the advancing Islamization of America, things have gotten decidedly worse since Obama took over. We have entered a dark age.
Wake Up America!

Are There ANY Libs Who Can Provide Me With An Answer?
If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?
If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what a dunce he is? What about if he said "I've been to every state but one, I think 57 altogether"?
If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?
If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?
If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
If George W Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?
So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 10 months -- so you'll have three years and two months to come up with an answer.

The 2nd Louisiana Purchase
With little disguise for the exhorbitant bribe to Louisiana Senator Mary Landreau for her vote, the United States Goverment has once again purchased Louisiana. The first purchase, in 1803 cost American tax-payers $15 million dollars - a bargain because we secured the middle third of our country, opening up land for settlement in what became the fertile heartland, and creating great opportunity for development. At the time, the purchase doubled the size of America! That was government foresight - which makes some sense as it was Thomas Jefferson who made the initial decision to purchase the land.
The 2nd Louisiana Purchase is not such a bargain. It is a demonstration of government short-sightedness, and partisanship. It exposes government corruption and all it's taudriness for anyone caring to look. It's going to cost us $300 million up front, and will cost us ten times that before all is said and done through the passage of health care reform legislation currently being worked on in Congress, and will eventually be seen by the blind out there for what it is, the money pit! Sure hope all you blind people have deep pockets!

Global Warming: Science Or Religion?
Global warming alarmists want Americans to believe that humans are killing the planet. But Not Evil Just Wrong, a new documentary by Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, proves that the only threats to America (and the rest of the world) are the flawed science and sky-is-falling rhetoric of Al Gore and his allies in environmental extremism.
The film drives home the realities of that extremism. "Turn off your lights. Turn off your heat when you get cold. Turn off your air when you get hot," one man on the street says. "And then think about that."
Not Evil Just Wrong warns Americans that their jobs, modest lifestyles and dreams for their children are at stake. Industries that rely on fossil fuels will be crippled if the government imposes job-killing regulations on an economy already mired in recession. Small towns in the heartland, like Vevay, Ind., will become bastions of unemployment and poverty. Breadwinners like Tim McElhany in Vevay will lose their jobs -- and will have to start borrowing money again just to buy bread for their families.
The damage that would be wrought is unjustified by the science. Not Evil Just Wrong exposes the deceptions that experts, politicians, educators and the media have been force-feeding the public for years. Man-made pollution is not melting the polar icecaps. The ocean will not rise 20 feet in a flash. And the only polar bears dying because of man are the ones who try to eat men.
McAleer and McElhinney debunk what, for a time, was the environmental movement's most powerful weapon of disinformation, the infamous "hockey stick" graph that attributed a supposedly unique burst of warming in the 20th century to humans. They also shatter the myth that the hottest years in the United States were 1998 and 2006. The hottest year was 1934, and the hottest decade was the 1930s -- when there were half as many people and no SUVs or jumbo jets. - American Family Association

Why Does Big Business Endorse The Copenhagen Climate Change Treaty That Obama Is Scheduled To Sign?
Coca-Cola spearheads 1-world climate tax
100 companies push '16 days left to seal deal' on $10 trillion treaty
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted: November 17, 2009 2:36 pm Eastern
By Drew Zahn © 2009 WorldNetDaily
Coca-Cola is spearheading a coalition of more than 100 companies pushing a United Nations climate treaty to bind the U.S. to cap-and-trade emissions regulation, commit the world's wealthiest nations to a potential $10 trillion in foreign aid and, possibly, form a proposed international "super-grid" for regulating and distributing electric power worldwide.
Together with the SAP and Siemens corporations, Coca-Cola launched a website called Hopenhagen, leading up to the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, which opens on Dec. 7. The website invites the citizens of the world to sign a petition demanding world leaders draft binding agreements on climate change and advertises, as of today, "16 days left to seal the deal."
Other "friends" of Hopenhagen include media outlets Newsweek, Discovery Channel, Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, The Wall Street Journal and Clear Channel, among others, Internet giants Yahoo, Google and AOL and dozens of other companies and organizations.
As WND reported, however, Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, asserts the real purpose of the U.N.'s meeting in Copenhagen is to use concern over "global warming" as a pretext to lay the foundation for a one-world government.
He has warned the proposed Copenhagen agreement would cede U.S. sovereignty, mandate a massive wealth transfer from the United States to pay reparations for "climate debt" to Third World countries and create a new "world government" to enforce the treaty's provisions.
And even if Monckton is merely fanning the flames of fear in those suspicious of the U.N., Coca-Cola's "Hopenhagen" project isn't doing anything to put out the fire:
"We're all citizens of Hopenhagen," boasts the website, adding, "Hopenhagen: Population 6.8 billion."
"Sign the Climate Petition and become a citizen of Hopenhagen," the website encourages.
Specifically, the petition states: "We the peoples of the world urge political leaders to:
"Seal the Deal at COP 15 on a climate agreement that is definitive, equitable and effective".
"Set binding targets to cut greenhouse gases by 2020.
"Establish a framework that will bolster the climate resilience of vulnerable countries and protect lives and livelihoods
"Support developing countries' adaptation efforts and secure climate justice for all."
"We also believe that anything is possible if we work together," states Coca-Cola on the Hopenhagen site. "That's why we're collaborating with governments, NGOs, other businesses and our consumers, to help tackle global challenges like climate change."
A closer look at the "deal" Hopenhagen is hoping to "seal," however, reveals a call to unprecedented levels of international regulation and wealth redistribution and includes many of the measures Monckton decries as an effort to "impose a communist world government on the world."
"The world needs a Green New Deal," declares a pocket guide to Hopenhagen's "new climate deal."
The guide is produced by the World Wide Fund for Nature, or WWF. It argues that the current economic crisis pales in comparison to our "climate debt" crisis and that the consequences are dire:
"The world is on course to see entire island nations disappear as sea levels rise," it warns. "Unchecked climate change will cut global food production by up to 40 percent by 2100."
Indeed, unless something is done soon, the guide predicts, we could all be facing "the collapse of planetary life support systems."
Get "The Sky's Not Falling! Why it's OK to chill on global warming"
The guide praises the last major international attempt at combating climate change, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol touting the "legal force" behind requiring industrialized countries to reduce emissions and the establishment of a cap-and-trade system of selling "carbon credits."
At the same time, the WWF laments, "The protocol's sanctions against backsliders have had little effect."
The guide warns that Kyoto expires at the end of 2012 and that we must now create "something more ambitious and broader in scope" for the future.
That broader scope of the Green New Deal includes not only additional and more stringent emissions reduction standards, agreed upon and binding on member nations, but also a host of new cap-and-trade measures.
"We create a system in which you need a permit to emit [carbon dioxide] or other greenhouse gases," the guide explains.
Governments could then grant permits to various industries or sell them at auction, either to raise funds or to punish polluters within their borders.
The Green New Deal also includes a similar, international system that issues "emissions rights to nations according to their population." Poor nations would have spare permits, so they could profit by selling to "rich industrialized nations that needed more."
The WWF further suggests creation of an international "super-grid" connecting the nations of the world to one, common electricity supply. It argues the super-grid would enable nations with unique abilities to produce power – such as France's prolific nuclear program or Saudi Arabia's potential for solar energy – to ship and trade electricity abroad.
The WWF does warn, however, "Such a grid requires strong and harmonized cross-border management to tap and deliver the right amount of renewable power at the right time to those who need it."
Finally, the Green New Deal includes a new, global climate change fund that manages monies paid by wealthy nations for "green" improvements in poorer nations. The WWF proposes a couple of possible plans for exacting payment, either an international tax on all carbon emissions or "a simple charge on rich countries," estimated at up to 1 percent of gross domestic product.
"The problem lies with rich countries such as the United States of America and Germany," the guide explains, "who stick with coal-power projects when they have many other options."
Of the poorer nations, the guide states, "They will simply – and not unreasonably – say to the rich world, 'You created this problem; YOU solve it.'"
Who pays to make the world "green"?
One of the most contentious points in U.N. climate change negotiations has been the question of who will pay to switch the world's energy use from fossil fuels and other carbon-intensive power sources to means deemed more environmentally friendly.
To that end, the guide to the Green New Deal argues the "polluter-pays principle" should decide.
"The planetary imperative can be reconciled with basic fairness if rich nations pay for the extra costs," it states. "It is, after all, only necessary because developed countries have warmed the planet and taken up most of the atmospheric 'space' for greenhouse gases."
The guide continues, "Developed countries have an obligation to fund adaptation among poor nations that are victims of climate change. International law, based on the well-established 'polluter-pays' principle, suggests there is a legal duty on major carbon dioxide emitters to protect such countries."
But how much will the rich nations pay?
"Notwithstanding the cost of necessary lifestyle changes and some more expensive technologies," the guide estimates, "the total worldwide cost for most of the technologies and actions investigated would be in the region of 200-350 billion Euros annually for the next two decades."
At today's exchange rate, that amounts to a total bill over the next 20 years of between $6 trillion and roughly $10.5 trillion.
Additionally, the WWF insists industrialized countries should quickly – this year – release $2 billion into a fund to help developing nations as a good-faith gesture to the international community meeting in Copenhagen.
However, it was reported earlier this week that a treaty may not be ready by December's U.N. meeting in Copenhagen, as some leaders – including President Obama – are favoring political agreements only, delaying a legally binding treaty.
Yvo de Boer, head of the U.N. Climate Change Secretariat, is still pushing for agreements on emissions cuts by each developed country and has said he favors at most a six-month delay before making a new climate deal binding, until a meeting in Bonn in mid-2010. That would give time for the U.S. Senate to pass carbon-capping laws, he said.
"It's like metal, you've got to beat it when it's hot," he told Reuters. "If we get clarity on (emission) targets, developing country engagement and finance in Copenhagen, which I'm confident we will, then you can nail that down in a treaty form six months later."
Then, too, came revelations that some e-mails from a prominent climate change research center indicate that the global warming campaign may even be largely a fraud.
According to the Australian Investigate magazine, a file of documents from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit was hacked into, and revealed that scientists discussed a "trick" that would "hide the decline" of global temperatures.
Author James Delingpole wrote in a London Telegraph column the most damaging revelations indicate climate-change scientists may have "manipulated or suppressed evidence in order to support their cause."
"The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate," said one e-mail.
Further, an e-mail exchange suggested the suppression of information: "Can you delete any e-mails you may have had with Keith re AR4? Keith will do likewise. He's not in at the moment – minor family crisis."

"It's like metal, you've got to beat it when it's hot," he told Reuters. "If we get clarity on (emission) targets, developing country engagement and finance in Copenhagen, which I'm confident we will, then you can nail that down in a treaty form six months later."
Then, too, came revelations that some e-mails from a prominent climate change research center indicate that the global warming campaign may even be largely a fraud.
According to the Australian Investigate magazine, a file of documents from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit was hacked into, and revealed that scientists discussed a "trick" that would "hide the decline" of global temperatures.
Author James Delingpole wrote in a London Telegraph column the most damaging revelations indicate climate-change scientists may have "manipulated or suppressed evidence in order to support their cause."
"The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate," said one e-mail.
Further, an e-mail exchange suggested the suppression of information: "Can you delete any e-mails you may have had with Keith re AR4? Keith will do likewise. He's not in at the moment – minor family crisis."

A Growing Trend...Hmmm, Why Do You Think It's Happening?
An article picked up by The Associated Press disclosed how virulently local militia's are growing across America. The Department of Homeland Security - you know, the new agency created by George Bush after 9/11, supposedly to protect us from terrorists - in a recent report stated, "Right-wing Extremists are harnessing this historic election as a recruitment tool" to grow local militia groups. Local militia groups are made up of ordinary citizens, multi-racial, who, though they believe in America, and even believe in the American Government, are just against the tyrants within our government who are trying to socialize America. Now, I don't belong to any militia organizations - I don't even own a gun...yet - but that sure sounds like me! So am I, a patriotic American, a threat as far as Homeland Security is concened? If I am, that's a pitiful picture of what America has become. And that more than anything, should be alarming enough to make you want to start thinking and researching...

Disillusioned, Disgusted, and Demoralized
It is Saturday, 11/21/2009, @ 6:45pm. The Senate will vote in one hour on whether or not debate should be held on the Health Care Reform Bill. The final three Democrat holdouts have strongly declared that they will not vote for a bill that contains a public option, but they will vote for the debate to be held. It's all smoke and mirrors, my friends. You see, the vote to hold debate is the one that counts. Because without that vote, their could be no vote on the bill itself. And the sad truth is this. Once the debate "door" is opened, at some point Harry Greid will play the reconciliation card, and he will need only 51 votes to pass health care. So to all you people who "think" your Democratic Senator is "standing firm on the issue", stop deluding yourself. It's all an act on his or her part to disguise what they really want - a new health care reform bill, and at the same time the abiltity to say "I didn't vote for that, so don't blame me, and don't vote me out." They believe they have you fooled. I'm not so sure they don't. But remember this, 61% of Americans do NOT want this legislation, and yet the government won't listen to us. What happened to a Government of the People, FOR the people, By the People? Why doesn't it bother you that our government callously and blatantly dismisses us all? That alone should be enough to make you realize something is wrong. And yet, too many people continue to play the game of "ostrich", hiding their heads because the truth is too "overwhelming" to contemplate. When did we become such a society of wimps? Pathetic!
So for all of you who thought it took too much time to call your senators demanding that they vote against opening the debate; for all of you who thought it was too inconvenient to take time off from work to visit the office of your representative or to join the march on Washington last September to demand your Senator or representative vote against the health care bills in both Houses; for all of you who have taken your liberty in America for granted and who refused to care enough to educate yourselves on the issues - and the history of the issues, I say with deep, deep conviction... Shame on you!
You are not worthy to be called American. And though you may believe yourself to be one, in my view, you have not earned that right. To fail your country in it's time of need is unacceptable to those of us who love her and what she stood for.
You may be short-sighted enough to look back a year from now, and seeing little difference, say "see, it wasn't as bad as you thought, was it?" What you may not realize is that we will see NO change for 4-5 years, because the bill doesn't take effect until 2013-2014, though you'll surely be paying taxes to pay for it for the next 5 years and beyond. Like that change?
And when your granchild asks you what you did to help stem the tide of bigger government that led to socialistic society, I want to be there to see if you look that child in the eye and tell him or her "because I didn't care enough about you to get involved." And then I want to watch as you slink off somewhere shame facedly, and pitifully cry for what you have lost and what you have brought on all of us and the generations yet to come.
As for those of you who believe as I do, that this was the greatest country throughout history, what will you commit to now? How far are you willing to go to ensure that our country, with all our rights from God, that our forefathers gave us, will not slide off into mediocrity? For surely if we do nothing, that will happen, just as it has happened to societies throughout history. This is without a doubt the most destructive administration in our history. There have been other administrations that have tried to destroy America, but until now, none have been successful. That's because Americans haven't allowed it!

For Those Of You Who Still Believe, I Only Ask Why?
Let's see...
First we were told a stimulus package had to be passed immediately to prevent a full blown depression and to ensure that the unemployment rate would not rise above 8%. We are currently at 10.2% and climbing, using the current skewed formula. The real rate is closer to 18% and that number does NOT include retired persons. In reality, about one in four Americans of working age are not employed. Happy with that change?
Then we were told that we needed Cap & Trade legislation (that's energy legislation which the House has already passed) and of which Obama said "energy rates would necessarily skyrockety under my plan". Happy with that change?
Then we were told "the American people say they want health care reform". I know I wasn't questioned, were you? Between the march on Wsashington on September 12th, the thousands of tea party events across the country, and the town halls held in August, millions of Americans have voiced their opinion against the healthcare reform legislation currently being bandied about on Capitol Hill. And yet, the House passed a health care reform bill, and the Senate is about to do the same - maybe completing that process in the next 4-5 weeks. I assume you are informed enough to undersatnd that all of us working people will be footing that bill. Happy with that change?
So I ask you, why do you believe that this administration, or ANY administration in our government at any time in the future, could properly run and control the Health Care system which is 1/6th of our economy? Why would we want a government that controls nearly 50% of our economy overall? Why do you want government controlling that much of your life? Do you really lack that much confidence and self-esteem in you ability to run your own life? If so, that's a pity! I need to understand your perspective, so I beg you to leave a comment to let me know...

Men Of Principle Don't Apologize, But They Do Seem To Be All Too Few And Far Between
The following is a statement released by Retired Lt.
Col. Allen West:
This past Thursday 13 American Soldiers were killed and another 30 wounded at a horrific mass shooting at US Army installation, Ft Hood Texas. As I watched in horror and then anger I recalled my two years of final service in the Army as a Battalion Commander at Ft Hood, 2002-2004. My wife and two daughters were stunned at the incident having lived on the post in family housing. A military installation, whether it is Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, or Coast Guard, is supposed to be a safe sanctuary for our Warriors and their families. It is intended to provide a home whereby our “Band of Brothers and Sisters” can find solace and bond beyond just the foxhole but as family units. A military installation is supposed to be a place where our Warriors train for war, to serve and protect our Nation.
On Thursday, 5 November 2009 Ft Hood became a part of the battlefield in the war against Islamic totalitarianism and state sponsored terrorism.
There may be those who feel threatened by my words and would even recommend they not be uttered. To those individuals I say step aside because now is not the time for cowardice. Our Country has become so paralyzed by political correctness that we have allowed a vile and determined enemy to breach what should be the safest place in America, an Army post.
We have become so politically correct that our media is more concerned about the stress of the shooter, Major Nidal Malik Hasan. The misplaced benevolence intending to portray him as a victim is despicable. The fact that there are some who have now created an entire new classification called; “pre-virtual vicarious Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)” is unconscionable.
This is not a “man caused disaster”. It is what it is, an Islamic jihadist attack.
We have seen this before in 2003 when a SGT Hasan of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) threw hand grenades and opened fire into his Commanding Officer’s tent in Kuwait. We have seen the foiled attempt of Albanian Muslims who sought to attack Ft Dix, NJ. Recently we saw a young convert to Islam named Carlos Bledsoe travel to Yemen, receive terrorist training, and return to gun down two US Soldiers at a Little Rock, Arkansas Army recruiting station. We thwarted another Islamic terrorist plot in North Carolina which had US Marine Corps Base, Quantico as a target.
What have we done with all these prevalent trends? Nothing.
What we see are recalcitrant leaders who are refusing to confront the issue, Islamic terrorist infiltration into America, and possibly further into our Armed Services. Instead we have a multiculturalism and diversity syndrome on steroids.
Major Hasan should have never been transferred to Ft Hood, matter of fact he should have been Chaptered from the Army. His previous statements, poor evaluation reports, and the fact that the FBI had him under investigation for jihadist website posting should have been proof positive.
However, what we have is a typical liberal approach to find a victim, not the 13 and 30 Soldiers and Civilian, but rather the poor shooter. A shooter who we are told was a great American, who loved the Army and serving his Nation and the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) stating that his actions had nothing to do with religious belief. We know that Major Hasan deliberately planned this episode; he did give away his possessions. He stood atop a table in the confined space of the Soldier Readiness Center shouting “Allahu Akhbar”, same chant as the 9-11 terrorists and those we fight against overseas in the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters of operation.
No one in leadership seems willing to sound the alarm for the American people; they are therefore complicit in any future attacks. Our Congress should suspend the insidious action to vote on a preposterous and unconstitutional healthcare bill and resolve the issue of “protecting the American people”. The recent incidents in Dearborn Michigan, Boston Massachusetts, Dallas Texas, and Chicago Illinois should bear witness to the fact that we have an Islamic terrorism issue in America. And don’t have CAIR call me and try to issue a vanilla press statement; they are an illegitimate terrorist associated organization which should be disbanded.
We have Saudi Arabia funding close to 80% of the mosques in the United States, one right here in South Florida, Pompano Beach. Are we building churches and synagogues in Saudi Arabia? Are “Kaffirs” and “Infidels” allowed travel to Mecca? So much for peaceful coexistence. Saudi Arabia is sponsoring radical Imams who enter into our prisons and convert young men into a virulent Wahabbist ideology….one resulting in four individuals wanting to destroy synagogues in New York with plastic explosives. Thank God the explosives were dummy. They are sponsoring textbooks which present Islamic centric revisionist history in our schools.
We must recognize that there is an urgent need to separate the theo-political radical Islamic ideology out of our American society. We must begin to demand surveillance of suspected Imams and mosques that are spreading hate and preaching the overthrow of our Constitutional Republic……that speech is not protected under First Amendment, it is sedition and if done by an American treason.
There should not be some 30 Islamic terrorist training camps in America that has nothing to do with First Amendment, Freedom of Religion. The Saudis are not our friends and any American political figure who believes such is delusional.
When tolerance becomes a one way street it certainly leads to cultural suicide. We are on that street. Liberals cannot be trusted to defend our Republic, because their sympathies obviously lie with their perceived victim, Major Nidal Malik Hasan.
I make no apologies for these words, and anyone angered by them, please, go to Ft Hood and look into the eyes of the real victims. The tragedy at Ft Hood Texas did not have to happen. Consider now the feelings of those there and on every military installation in the world. Consider the feelings of the Warriors deployed into combat zones who now are concerned that their loved ones at home are in a combat zone. Ft Hood suffered an Islamic jihadist attack, stop the denial, and realize a simple point.
The reality of your enemy must become your own.
Steadfast and Loyal,
Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Ret)

Is It The Start Of An Epidemic?
We have witnessed President Obama make speech after speech after speech where he has apologized for some actual or perceived event that occurred in our past. The latest apology came when he addressed American Indians recently. Over the weekend, the British government caught the disease. They apologized for sending children to Australia centuries ago. It's kind of embarrassing, because no one knows exactly who the British were apologizing to. I just want to know if this is the beginning of the Apology Epidemic, or even an Apology Pandemic so that if I find someone apologizing to me for something, I'll know whether it's sincere or just some symptom of his/her malady.
I'd also like to know when all the countries we've sent aid to over the past 100 years plan to apologize for accepting it. I'd like to know when France will apologize for accepting our military's help during WWII. I'd like to know when Japan will apologize for attacking Pearl Harbor, and then having the gall to accept our money and expertise to rebuild their country. Same with Germany! I want to know when all the countries that formerly made up the Soviet Union will apologize for allowing the US to fight the USSR during the "cold war" without help from hardly anyone. I'd like to know when Gorbachev will apologize for accepting President Reagan's demand to "tear down this wall"! I'd like to know when South Korea and South Vietnam will apologize for accepting our help to keep them free from communist rule. I'd like to know when Kuwait will apologize for allowing us to into their country to free them from Saddam Hussein's invasion? Should we apologize to the Iraqi people for freeing them from a dictatorial regime?
Come on! Let's get this pandemic cooking! All in favor of more apologies, raise your hands! Hmmm, come on folks. Hmmm, no hands? Well, maybe it's not an epidemic after all, maybe it;s just a moronidemic!
Wake Up America, Obama is not looking out for America, or for our future!

President Obowa At It Again!
Once again, President Obama has bowed to a foreign head of state. This time he bowed to Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko on Saturday. You may recall that back in April he bowed to the Saudi king. In the 230 year history of this country, NO president has ever bowed to a member of the royalty. And yet this Moron-in-Chief has taken it upon himself to do just that, and has possibly set a humiliating precedent in the process. Every decision this guy makes, regardless of how small, is wrong. He has embarassed the office of the president, humiliated this country, and caused once loyal allies to rethink their relationships with us. How much more damage are we going to allow this idiot to wreak before we demand that our congressmen site him for treason! He is single-handedly minimizing our stature and our influence in the world. Obama is not just a moron, he's an F'in moron!
Wake Up America!

Do you believe the US Dollar will crumble?
In this recent poll 14% said it could never happen, 42% said within a year and another 42% said within 3 years. No one who voted, and thought it would happen, thought it would occur later than 3 years from now...
Wake Up America!
Wake Up America!
What Should Conservatives Settle For?
Recent Gallup polls show that 40% of Americans are conservative, while only about 20% are liberal. That leaves 40% that both major Parties "court" for their vote. I consistently hear people say that "third party" candidates can't win, that they just take votes away from the Republican candidate. I've heard people say we must vote for the the most conservative candidate "who can win". And I've read articles that present the argument that coalitions must be built if the Republicans are going to take back seats in Congress.
But my philosophy is a bit different. Historically, coalitions built have just water down the Republican Party and pulled it further and further to the left. For 40 years the Republicans have been telling us they need to be more inclusive. And because of that we've been voting against a particular candidate, or voting for the candidate who will "hurt" us the least, instead of voting for a candidate who represents our values! All except 1980 and 1984 when President Reagan (a Conservative) ran and won landslide victories (that should tell you something). Reagan didn't build coalitions, he didn't pander to one political special interest over another. He said what he meant, and meant what he said. And his message resonated with the people - conservatives and moderates alike - because they liked that message. That should tell politicians something - find and use that same message! Reagan's values, principles, patriotism and integrity were prominently displayed during every speech he ever gave.
So I say forget about the "labels" - Democrat/Republican/Independent mean nothing! What counts is the way a candidate (regardless of his/her party affiliation) votes - period. It's that cut and dried. Past voting records are a matter of public record, so check the voting records of your Senators and Representative. If their record is too liberal/progressive vote them out of offcie at the very first opportunity. If they are a new, inexperienced candidate, ask him/her what their positions are relative to the values and principles you hold dear. You may not know much about the person you vote in, but I expect your political vigilance from today forward will most likely mean you'll scrutinize their voting record once they take office - and vote them out if they aren't what you want.
Do not let someone talk you into voting for someone you are not comfortable with just because they're the candidate "who can win". Don't settle for that! It's that kind of thinking that has driven us to the fragmented, politically correct world we live in, And it's been driving us there for the past 40+ years. Don't settle for more of the same! Don't settle for someone who does not share your values! Do not settle for someone because he/she is the "least" progressive. Find the people who share your values. Encourage them to run for office. Then support them every way you can. And then, when it's time, vote them into office!
It's a long road back, America! Take time to think about, and visualize what you want America to be. Then go out and mold her into that vision!

If they are a new, inexperienced candidate, ask him/her what their positions are relative to the values and principles you hold dear. You may not know much about the person you vote in, but I expect your political vigilance from today forward will most likely mean you'll scrutinize their voting record once they take office - and vote them out if they aren't what you want.
Do not let someone talk you into voting for someone you are not comfortable with just because they're the candidate "who can win". Don't settle for that! It's that kind of thinking that has driven us to the fragmented, politically correct world we live in, And it's been driving us there for the past 40+ years. Don't settle for more of the same! Don't settle for someone who does not share your values! Do not settle for someone because he/she is the "least" progressive. Find the people who share your values. Encourage them to run for office. Then support them every way you can. And then, when it's time, vote them into office!
It's a long road back, America! Take time to think about, and visualize what you want America to be. Then go out and mold her into that vision!
Wake Up America!
