Obama's Press Conference

Gary Fouse
fousesquawk


President Obama's press conference yesterday was another glaring example of his petulance and arrogance. First, he started off by blaming the Republicans for not caving in on the debt ceiling debate in Congress. He also skirted the edge of reality by claiming that he has "been here" in Washington ready to assist in negotiations or whatever he says he is doing. I guess golf outings count as "being here" in his view. The President also took a swipe at those evil rich people and oil companies, who need to pay more taxes.


“Before we ask our seniors to pay more for health care, before we cut our children’s education,” he said, “it’s only fair to ask an oil company or a corporate jet owner that has done so well to give up that tax break that no other business enjoys.”

As if cutting off deductions for corporate taxes will raise that trillion or so dollars we need.

Isn't it ironic that politicians talk about having to pay our bills when they are spending money that we don't have in the first place? My Dad always told me, "don't incur the bills if you don't have the money". That's why I never got that Mercedes Benz when I was in high school. Seemed to make sense at the time, so I settled for my Dad's hand-me-down 41 Ford.

As for his authorization to continue hostilities in Libya beyond 60 days without congressional approval, he pointed out that no US military personnel have been killed -yet. Therefore bombing a country from off shore ships is not hostilities, I guess. Not that I would mind if one of those missiles landed on Ghaddafi's head, but that hasn't happened yet. But, of course, we have to protect those Libyan civilians from harm at the hands of Ghaddafi's troops, which brings up the question of why we don't have to do the same in Syria. Oh well. Apples and oranges I Guess.

Obama the born again state's righter also praised the decision of the state of New York in approving gay marriage. That's the way things should work, said the President (since the decision was the one he wanted-God only knows what his reaction would have been had the decision gone the other way.) Yet, the President stopped an inch short of saying he now supported gay marriage. His position is "evolving".

But it was another "historic" press conference as the President once again signaled how intransigent he is. Fox News treated it with the respect it deserved. Instead of having any discussion about it, they switched immediately to the Casey Anthony trial in Florida.

This is pure garbage and the entire conference is really nothing but junk food. This is social INJUSTICE and nothing more than socialism or marxism, take your pick. If they are so worried about food shortages why not go after all the food that is now wasted on the production of worthless alternative energy production like ETHANOL from corn, just for starters. Over 35% of U.S. Corn is now wasted on ethanol production. How many people would this corn feed?

From Translating Jihad:

Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan, a member of the Saudi Council of Senior Scholars, explains in this short fatwa that any Muslim who refuses to pray has become an infidel, and therefore must be killed. This fatwa was originally published in audio format on al-Fawzan's website some time ago, but was recently published in a video on YouTube, and was later picked up by Arabic-language news sites, such as al-Arabiya.The subtitled video is above, transcript is below:

This questioner says, “Your Eminence,” he says, “I have a colleague at work who doesn’t pray. I admonished him, but he didn’t respond. I informed the one in authority over us, and told him, ‘He is afraid of being transferred. Admonish him to pray, and threaten to transfer him.’ My colleague then became angry with me. Here’s my question: Is what I did wrong? What is my duty in this situation?”

He who does not pray is not a Muslim, owing to the saying of Muhammad (PBUH): “(The difference) between worship (of Allah), and infidelity and polytheism, is failing to pray.” He also said (PBUH): “The covenant that is between us and them is prayer, and whoever neglects this has become an infidel.” There are numerous evidences in the Qur’an and Sunnah for the fact that he who fails to pray is an infidel. It is not enough for this man to be transferred, but he must be fired from the job. And if he doesn’t repent to Allah and keep his prayers, then he must be killed. He must be called on to repent, but if he doesn’t repent, then he is killed.

What you have done with him was your duty, from the counsel and admonition of Allah. If he does not accept (the admonition), and insists on abstaining from praying, then he must be killed. It is not enough for him to be transferred from his job, for merely employing him is wrong. It is not permissible for an infidel to be in charge of the doings of Muslims, because he will be an example to others.

Will islam and muslims take some well deserved heat and fall from 'favor' in Wacked out, socialist Spain? We can only hope so.

Toronto middle school converts library to mosque for Muslim students every Friday

 

A school cafeteria is turned into a mosque on Fridays. Here is a bit of the scenario, "School administration take part preparing the Cafeteria and making it into mosque every Friday and no one but Muslims can use the Cafeteria during the Islamic prayers on Friday." Got that? So no children of the book, kafir kids or infidel kids can use the cafeteria.

Make sure this is not happening where you children attend school or something similar regarding islam, is not being waged upon your children. Do you trust your local schools to give your children a 'well rounded, open, honest, ETHICAL education' without bias or whitewashing the truth about islam? Does the school allow EQUAL opportunity for other 'true religions' and not just some garbage like this from a cult like islam, fueled by hatred and washed in the blood of innocent victims?

How about a school being quietly and subversively being sold to become an islamic center, the sale kept from the community? The sale never being disclosed to the public until the sale was almost completed? That happened as well as the above. It is becoming a reoccurring nightmare all across America and it is called Islamic JIHAD. Make no mistake about these events. Jihad is jihad and islam is a lie. A lie built upon years and years of deceit, lies, peddled by islam and the imams who troll in their mosques. One sermon for the kafirs and infidels. Another sermon for the long time brainwashed slaves of allah who bow down to the pervert and pedophile mohammad.

Read what follows next and then be sure it does not happen near you or to your loved ones.! This is islam, sneaky, lying, and full of deceit, persecution and violence. It is coming and it is here. What will you do?

Islamic Ritual Prayer Conducted At Toronto District School Board Middle School

Update: The Toronto District School Board Teaches That Palestinians did not Celebrate 911.

I received this e-mail from Mark Harding. I phoned Valley Park Middle School, who in a panic directed me to call the TDSB directly @ 416-397-3000. The TDSB "Communications Dept." is so far incommunicado -they are away at a meeting.

....

"Islamic ritual prayers are done in my 13 year old daughter's middle school on every Friday.

Every Friday my daughter's school cafeteria changes into a mosque as dozens of Muslim boys and their imams (Islamic preachers) lead Islamic ritual prayers and no one else can even walk through the cafeteria.

Some imams (Islamic preachers) come from the outside of the school and lead Muslim students in the Islamic prayer and this happens at the school Cafeteria after the lunch on Fridays. All other non-Muslims are in classes in the afternoon when they are using the cafeteria as mosque. There is a mosque nearby but the Muslim kids pray in the school

School administration take part preparing the Cafeteria and making it into mosque every Friday and no one but Muslims can use the Cafeteria during the Islamic prayers on Friday.

And there are a number of other incidents involving Islam and other anti-Christian issues that I complained about, including a white convert to Islam who was a supply teacher and who openly promoted Islam and bashed Christianity last year!"

The school's name is: Valley Park Middle School, and the address is:

"Mark, my other two kids also go to a different public primary school and the snack for all the kids in this primary school is all "Halal". My wife complained about it and she was told she can prepare her own snack for our kids but the school would not drop the Halal menu for all the students. All the school kids in this primary school have to eat halal snacks whether they are Muslim or not"

Update: It is confirmed thanks to reader Munimula, the Valley Park Middle School cafeteria is turned into a mosque and a local Imam is brought in to lead the children in worshipping Allah:

"Prayer Service, the school is providing a venue for the Muslim student’s to have prayers at school on Fridays. An Imam from the neighbouring mosque comes to our school and conducts the prayers. Prior to this, students signed out early on Friday afternoons to go to mosque. By staying at school, valuable instructional time is saved for our students."

Michigan Public School Sneakily Converted To Islamic Center

via Public School Converted To Islamic Center.

As you read this, be mindful that it could just as easily be your community—and probably will be, eventually.

Farmington, Michigan’s Public School Board of Education voted unanimously to sell their vacant Eagle Elementary School to the Islamic Cultural Association (ICA) for $1.1 million. The transaction was kept secret until the sale was nearly (some say clearly) complete. Many in the community have decried this as an under-handed sale intended to circumvent the largely Christian and Jewish residents of the immediate area.

Much of the controversy is the ICA’s association with the HUDA school of Franklin, Michigan—just a few miles away. The HUDA school was ultimately denied their expansion which was the intended site for the ICA two years ago. The HUDA school could not satisfactorily reconcile the charge that they secretly wanted this new structure, in the charming and historic downtown area, to be a mosque. They refuted the charge despite the fact that their website, openly but prematurely, celebrated the soon-to-be new Franklin Village Islamic Center and Mosque. They also failed to explain why cars regularly fill their parking lot until the wee hours of the morning in this “children’s” school, particularly on weekends. Another disturbing issue was their refusal to reveal the source of their funding which many believe to be Saudi-Wahhabi in origin. More recently but equally disturbing is he HUDA school’s recent invitation to the highly controversial and pugnacious anti-Israel Jew, Norman Finkelstein, to speak at their center in this largely Jewish village. So, when the ICA again claims that they simply desire to have a community center in the Farmington school for their children—although few Muslims currently live in this area—many are incredulous and believe this to be just one more example of Al-Taqiyya.

Al-Taqiyya is the Islamic equivalent to using deceit, concealment and “tradecraft” in order to advance the cause of Islam. The Qur’an (16:106, 3:54, 3:28, 40:28) and the Hadith (49:857, 84:64-65) are replete in spelling out the circumstances when a Muslim can and should deceive infidels for a greater purpose. Al-Taqiyya must be appreciated if one is to understand the nature of nonviolent Jihad. In centuries past, Muslims practiced al-Takiyya as a means of defense and subterfuge against enemies, such as during the Spanish Inquisition. Today, radical Islam uses this as a necessary tool that extremists living in non-Muslim lands (Dar al-Harb) utilize to deceive their unsuspecting compatriots into believing they are assimilating while they are actually engaging in nonviolent Jihad against their host societies. Islamic jurisprudence has sanctioned this deception in modern times as depicted in confiscated al-Qaeda training manuals. It is said that al-Takiyya is “in tongue only, not the heart.”

We must not forget the stated mission of the Muslim Brotherhood which is to penetrate and conquer the infidel lands, most notably, America.

Read it all, and recall from our post on this takeover a few weeks ago, the Muslim Brotherhood is indeed involved in this effort. Hamas-linked CAIR was pictured in the new story and likely representing the Muslim organization that got the secretive deal, as we noted here, Michigan Islamic Group Cleared To Take Over Elementary School:

Judging by the photograph included with this story, residents have every right to be extremely concerned. The terrorist-linked Muslim group CAIR is involved in some way with the school, and that does not bode well for the area. Check back in five to ten years.

Churches, schools, car dealerships, movie theaters, Ground Zero. It’s all fair game when the goal is for only Allah to be worshiped.

Light posting due to my friend's wife is slipping away fast.....

I will be in and out the next couple of days as my dear friend's wife has really started slipping away. We got her set up at home with hospice about a week ago and knew this was coming. ALS and MS are very cruel afflictions and sadly it is now just a waiting game for the end we will all face, sooner or later.

Posting will be very light and I have been asked to be over at their house, a duty I am honored to fulfill. I will make it in to work but that is about it. They know I may not make it in. Just the way it has to be. I hope that if I am ever in a state like this, my friends will not desert me when they are needed the most. It is really quite sad how many 'friends' have deserted this couple over the last few years. I know we all process dying and death in different ways so I hesitate to be very critical.

Stay tuned and will post up what I have time for......

cry baby muslim sues Abercrombie & Fitch Over Hijab

Abercrombie & Fitch has been sued before over this garbage and that is exactly what this is. It is not about religious freedom or tolerance in the work place. An employer should be free to dictate what employees can and cannot wear while at work. islam is really the ONLY so called 'religion'(it is not a religion but is a political ideology that controls the individual from birth to death)that is always suing companies, the government at all levels and just about anyone else to aid in the spread of islam and sharia law. muslims will always say it is about tolerance and religious freedom but that is a lie, that is taqiyya and nothing more.

This is classic 'cry baby muslim syndrome.'

muslims do this for one reason and one reason only: to use our own laws to attack the United States from within to further the spread of islam. This is about conditioning. Getting us and our legal system used to being assaulted over and over by our own laws, to help establish a global islamic caliphate. More often than not you can find the those commies and progressives that slime about inside the ACLU, aiding and abeting these 'poor, mistreated muslims' in their quite war against our freedoms and liberty. They want to replace our Constitution with sharia law.

You want to wear a hijab? Then move to one of many islamic countries that leave women no options at all. Saudi Arabia comes to mind, first and foremost. I am sure the morality and vice squads would help the police enforce that hijabs MUST be worn at all times.

No matter where muslims and islam spreads to, violent discourse and riots will soon follow. islam would not want this any other way. So I say ban any and ALL muslim/islamic immigation immediately and for the next 25 years. I mean all of it.

"Abercrombie prides itself on requiring what it calls a natural classic American style." Yes, I would agree with this statement. So why would someone who wears a hijab want to work for a company that really prefers a natural classic American style.? A hijab and Burqua are a complete turn off and the opposite look of what A&F are looking for. Perhaps in the future A&F would be much better off not to hire any muslims for any position that is open. Be subtle but be polite in saying no to any wearing a hijab, burqua, who come in to apply.Whether companies realize it or not, this is just another form of jihad being waged and used against us.

Natural Classic American Style? She is not even close!

Muslim Woman Sues Abercrombie & Fitch Over Hijab

SAN FRANCISCO –  A former stockroom worker for Abercrombie & Fitch Co. sued the clothing retailer in federal court Monday, saying she was illegally fired after refusing to remove her Muslim headscarf while on the job.

Hani Khan said a manager at the company's Hollister Co. store at the Hillsdale Mall in San Mateo hired her while she was wearing her hijab. The manager said it was OK to wear it as long as it was in company colors, Khan said.

Four months later, the 20-year-old says a district manager and human resources manager asked if she could remove the hijab while working, and she was suspended and then fired for refusing to do so.

It's the latest employment discrimination charge against the company's so-called "look policy," which critics say means images of mostly white, young, athletic-looking people. The New Albany, Ohio-based company has said it does not tolerate discrimination.

 

Still, Abercrombie has been the target of numerous discrimination lawsuits, including a federal class action brought by black, Hispanic and Asian employees and job applicants that was settled for $40 million in 2004. The company admitted no wrongdoing, though it was forced to implement new programs and policies to increase diversity.

"Growing up in this country where the Bill of Rights guarantees freedom of religion, I felt let down," Khan, now a college student studying political science, said at a news conference. "This case is about principles, the right to be able to express your religion freely and be able to work in this country."

Abercrombie defended its record in a comment provided to The Associated Press, saying diversity in its stores "far exceeds the diversity in the population of the United States."

"We comply with the law regarding reasonable religious accommodation, and we will continue to do so," said Rocky Robbins, the company's general counsel. "We are confident that when this matter is tried, a jury will find that we have fully complied with the law."

The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco comes after the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ruled in September that Khan was fired illegally. Khan's lawsuit was filed in conjunction with the EEOC's lawsuit. It is not the first time the company has been charged with discriminating against Muslim women over the wearing of a hijab.

In 2009, Samantha Elauf, who was 17 at the time, filed a federal lawsuit in Tulsa, Okla., alleging the company rejected her for a job because she was wearing a hijab.

The EEOC filed another lawsuit for the same reason, saying the company denied work to a hijab-wearing woman who applied for a stocking position in 2008 at an Abercrombie Kids store at the Great Mall in Milpitas, Calif.

Khan's attorney said her client is looking to get Abercrombie to change its "look policy" to allow religious headscarves to be worn by employees, and for unspecified damages. The lawsuit alleges violations of federal and state civil rights and employment laws.

"Abercrombie prides itself on requiring what it calls a natural classic American style. But there's nothing American about discriminating against someone because of their religion," said Araceli Martinez-Olguin, an attorney with the Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center.

"Such a look policy cannot be squared with our shared values. No worker should have to choose between their religion and their job." Indeed and correct. So go find a job at a mosque or at some muslim business where you can be beaten and persecuted against as part of your perverted cult that YOU have chosen to follow.

islamic prayer: behavior shaping belief and directs us downward

This is a very interesting and informative article about the ritual of islamic prayer. The person who wrote this actually learned arabic and infiltrated a mosque on numerous occasions. This individual learned arabic for a couple of reasons. "This served two purposes: to begin with, it allowed him access into public conversations in those pockets of cultural enrichment in his city. Since his visage (and his gender) would permit him to “pass” unnoticed, he eavesdropped quite openly. The public hatred he heard for non-Muslims made him determined to learn more.

Second, knowing the language allowed him to see the original Koran and hadith, and to contemplate the inescapable understanding that Islam’s “reformation” must remain a myth. It is simply Western-centric thinking to believe in the possible transformation of a Middle Eastern tribal mindset."

For some of you, what follows may be unsettling and surprise you and that is understandable. We must really take what this person did to heart, remember that islam is NOT a religion and everything in and about islam is for one purpose and one purpose only. This is to ensure the spread of islam, for it to be the ONLY acceptable religion and way of life through the implementation of sharia law. The establishment and domination of a global islamic caliphate is all that matters here. The wants and needs of the individual perish under islam and sharia law. NOTHING matters except the domination and spread of islam. This is jihad, period and just one more example of why islam and sharia law must be defeated and eliminated from existence. We here in the west cannot live with or accept any tenets or parts of islam.  Europistan is a failed experiment in socialism, diversity and multiculturalism. We have been warned and remember this: obama and his ilk want what Europistan has in the worst way. This does not work for me in any way, shape or form. What say you?

muslims at prayer: notice that their heads are pointed towards hell

The Kinetic Effects of Prayer in Islam

By Dymphna

One of our readers, an anthropologist of sorts, sent in this After Action Report on the experiential effects of his participation in the Friday prayers at a mosque in his city on the West Coast.

Some background on the writer of this essay: he’s Portuguese but now an American citizen. Like his patron, São João De Deus, he sees his mission as one of healing: João’s ‘patient’ is our ailing Western culture.

Like the rest of us, João is alarmed by Islam’s knee-jerk hostility toward anything beyond its own ideological boundaries. However, he has proactively lit a candle and followed his concern right into the heart of the oncoming darkness. [You’re a braver man than I am, Gunga João].

Islam is nothing if not militant. Thus João follows Colonel Boyd’s strategies as outlined in the OODA loop’s recurring cycles. João has been systematically thorough in his use of Boyd’s cycles. Would that our military leaders were half as curious and determined as João has been to comprehend what we really face.

First, he learned Arabic. This served two purposes: to begin with, it allowed him access into public conversations in those pockets of cultural enrichment in his city. Since his visage (and his gender) would permit him to “pass” unnoticed, he eavesdropped quite openly. The public hatred he heard for non-Muslims made him determined to learn more.

Second, knowing the language allowed him to see the original Koran and hadith, and to contemplate the inescapable understanding that Islam’s “reformation” must remain a myth. It is simply Western-centric thinking to believe in the possible transformaton of a Middle Eastern tribal mindset.

Both experiences left him deeply appalled and concerned for his country and for the West itself.

His next step was to attend Friday prayers in one of the mosques in his city, simply to experience the Friday prayers for himself. As you will see, he came away with an experiential comprehension of Islam’s “hold” on its followers. As he said in his email:

Part of how we can break the grip of the Islamic cult is to experience and to analyze how these rituals shape Muslim minds. It is only then that we can hope to deconstruct and demolish this cult.

What follows here is but one experience from his many years of immersion.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

As you know, I have long been studying Arabic. Now, moving on to Koranic recitation, I can explain the strong narcotic effect of Islamic prayer. Within the experience, I can see how the chanting is akin to Rap tempos and rhythms. Recently I did the whole Muslim prayer sequence. It was difficult but the process brought much insight I couldn’t have gained any other way.

It is quite different from Christian prayer. The latter has a more inner, spiritual nature and allows space for the individual, even within community-based rituals. The emphasis in Christian prayer is relationship with God and with one’s neighbors.

In mosque ritual the kinetic aspects of bowing and praying in tandem with others have distinctive effects on brain and mood. I experienced these results myself, without having internalized the belief system. In Islam, it’s about behavior shaping belief.

Bowing and touching your head to the ground repeatedly instills a sense of capitulation and surrender of the will. As a student of yoga I compare it to the Downward Facing Dog position. However, in Islamic ritual, this movement is accompanied by chanting Arabic of Koranic scripture, followed by a “religious rap” of one’s head on the ground.

[Dymphna asks: Don’t you wonder whether the resulting forehead bruise (known as a zebiba), repeated exactly on the section of the cranium protecting the frontal lobes — that part of our brain concerned with higher thought and discernment — takes its toll eventually? No doubt it’s a sign of Islamic holiness.]

The repeated rhythmic lowering of head to ground has different results from other religions’ prayer forms. I have experienced the kinetic affect of Christian prayer, Muslim prayer and Yoga; each one seems to have its own affect on the brain.

Christian prayer directs the mind-body movement upwards, leading to an individual and uplifted energized experience. When Christians bow their heads it is voluntary — or as you put it so well, Dymphna, “obedience is not submission”. For Christians this sign can be directed out toward others, as a sign our mutual coexistence in community.

Muslim prayer primarily directs us downward. Think of bowing to the king in subservience — or, in this case, submission to Allah. Finishing the prayer cycle, I was standing level-headed, my energy redirected now to confront the non-believer. The once a week group prayer unifies this outward energy.

No wonder this form of prayer was a common activity before battle! It is not individual spiritual cleansing but group movement outward to conquer. This is why mass street prayer is occurring in Paris and other European cities. It is not just about the public message of dominance; more importantly it is what they’ve done and said to themselves. This is a preparation for the street battles to come.

Yoga, on the other hand, has an entirely different effect on the mind and body. The “effort without effort” brings you to a balance which results in a receptive, open state. Is this why we don’t see yogi suicide bombers? [Note: we do see self-immolators but it’s not the same as taking others with you — D]

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

[An Arabic phrase failed to come through our email here — D] “Wudhoo” or ritualistic cleaning before prayer includes saying “Oh Allah I seek protection in you from the male and female devil”; then you step with the left foot. After moving through the steps and considering their effects, I believe these ritual cleansing behaviors had a practical military outcome in better hygiene and less disease among the troops.

The major killer of soldiers in ancient times was not the battlefield but widespread dysentery. Having now done these ritual cleansings many times, I’m convinced they would have resulted in an increase in general hygiene. To wash five times a day your hands, feet, face, ears and mouth means you’re less likely to spread disease. When water is not available, hot sand is used instead — for hands and feet, anyway — as a sterilizer and abrasive for removing organic material which might be a source of pathogens.

So the overall effect of Muslim prayer is:

*to destroy the free will of the individual through those daily rituals.

*Friday group prayers to focus hostility toward non-believers.

*The improvement of group hygiene through daily washing is an excellent way to stay united and prepared for war, or

*to exclude the unclean while encouraging hostility toward outsiders.

No wonder Muslims have had hostile relations with host communities. Through long practice, their rituals and prayers program them to act this way.

To free them, then, we must discourage or prevent those aspects of their religion that keep their free will out of commission.

While I haven’t the discipline or opportunity to do what João is doing (or the gender — being male helps one pass less noticed), his experience is one I can share vicariously. Since he knows experientially the results of three different esoteric practices, he has changed his orientation towards Islam. Thus he can direct his future actions more deliberately than would have been the case before he took on his anthropological exploration.

John Boyd would have approved.

Clinton states Pakistan is 'vital' to United States security.

We can all sleep better tonight knowing that clinton is one job whipping Ratistan pakistan into a more 'cooperative' relationship with the United States. I can barely contain myself in expectation of how Ratistan pakistan is going to surpass the 'wonderful' past intelligence bonanza they blessed the United States with?

If this administration had ANY intelligence, real, valid concerns about the security of this country and common sense, ALL aid to both pakistan and afghanistan would be cut off immediately. Neither of these two bit, third world havens for terrorists deserves one more cent of aid from us here in the United States. I mean all of it. No monetary funds, no food, no military aid, no medical aid, nothing, nada, zip. Let the other muslim countries bail pakistan out, or not. pakistan is NOT going to be assisting us with very much intelligence information as they are still quite upset about OBL.

"We are supposed to believe that Senator Hillary Clinton is suddenly a military strategist and someone whose opinion is to be valued? Why? Clinton's much heralded military experience is a myth except for her being married to a draft dodger," said an angry former military intelligence officer now working as a federal police commander.

"And the chairman, Kerry, was wrong in 2001. He was wrong in 2003. He was wrong in 2004. And he's wrong this year," said the police commander.

Senator Clinton sternly said that U.S. military and intelligence officials are going to demand more cooperation from the Pakistanis. “But we are not going to expect any miracles overnight,” she said.

I realize that pakistan has nuclear weapons and this is a valid concern. There is a way around this. We could 'spirit' these weapons out of the country or destroy them there. Easier said than done.

We should pull out all the U.S. troops and bring them home ASAP. We could use them on our southern and northern borders. Please DO NOT misunderstand how I feel about our troops. I support them all the way but feel it is time to bring them home. We should never again place our brave men and women in harms way for ANY muslim country as most of them hate us. Theses same countries will gladly let us bleed for them, take our money and use our military might to further their cause which is, establishing a global  islamic caliphate ruled by and through sharia law.

Clinton: "Pakistan relationship vital to American security"

By Jim Kouri

The Obama administration's top diplomat on Thursday told members of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee that, despite suspicions of duplicity by the Pakistani government, a relationship with that Islamic nation is vital to U.S. security interests.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned the lawmakers that expecting complete cooperation from the Pakistani government will be difficult and emotionally trying.

In the aftermath of the May 1 raid on Osama bin Laden's hideout by U.S. Navy SEALs, the Pakistani military and intelligence officials were outraged that the U.S. would keep the operation -- that finally killed the world's most wanted terrorist -- a secret.

Secretary Clinton told the Senators that President Barack Obama and his administration are eager to work with the Pakistani government in fighting terrorism.

Meanwhile, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John F. Kerry (D-MA) and other Senators asked Secretary Clinton questions regarding U.S. policy in the Middle East and northern Africa.

Kerry complained about the U.S. spending over $100 billion a year in Afghanistan while spending a less than 3% of that amount in Pakistan in 2010.

“I don’t mean to insult Afghanistan or saying anything pejorative about the efforts and what is at stake there -- but in many ways, the Afghanistan war is a sideshow to the main event, if you will, that is next door,” Kerry said.

However, that was Kerry argument during his presidential run in 2004 when he claimed Iraq was a sideshow and Afghanistan was the main event. President Obama made similar statements during his presidential campaign in 2008 when he called Iraq a diversion and that "Afghanistan was the good war."

Some observers told the Law Enforcement Examiner that Clinton's performance before the Senate Committee was rehearsed and lacked confidence.

"We are supposed to believe that Senator Hillary Clinton is suddenly a military strategist and someone whose opinion is to be valued? Why? Clinton's much heralded military experience is a myth except for her being married to a draft dodger," said an angry former military intelligence officer now working as a federal police commander.

"And the chairman, Kerry, was wrong in 2001. He was wrong in 2003. He was wrong in 2004. And he's wrong this year," said the police commander.

Senator Clinton sternly said that U.S. military and intelligence officials are going to demand more cooperation from the Pakistanis. “But we are not going to expect any miracles overnight,” she said.

During the committee hearing, a Pew Research Center survey was read into the record stating the survey found a mere 12% of Pakistan's citizens had a favorable view of the United States, while 63% of them disapproved of the military strike that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin-Laden.

Lawmakers and analysts familiar with the region have long been split on how deal with Pakistan, especially its intelligence service and secret police. Many believe that far too many officials responsible for fighting terrorism are actually working with certain groups such as al-Qaeda, the Taliban and the Haqqani Group.

Also discussed at the hearing was President Barack Obama’s earlier announcement of troop drawdowns from Afghanistan.

obama repeats past history instead of learning from the West's failure based on appeasement

Prior to the outbreak of World War Two, Europe was looking to Neville Chamberlain to stop Hitler and Nazi Germany from expanding and attacking other European countries. We all know what the outcome was and Europe plunged head first into a rapidly expanding war that Europe did not want and was ill equipped to fight.

Everyone knows this very important bit of history EXCEPT obama, the first muslim potus, the second coming of a former potus, Jimmy 'the dhimmmi' Carter. In my book Carter, was one of the WORST presidents this country has ever suffered under. obama, I think is as bad if not WORSE than Carter.

obama, like Chamberlain thought he could win over Iran, just as Chamberlain was sure he could sway and stop Hitler. The rest of this sad story is as they like to say, 'history.'

Obama's Engagement Policy Made War Inevitable

By Confidential Reporter

Iran has vowed to destroy Israel and is developing the means to achieve its evil aim--nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles, including ICBMs.

Even if Iran, if it is allowed to develop its weapons of mass destruction, can be deterred from a direct strike on the Jewish State, the threat of an indirect Iranian attack on Israel, by proxy or terrorist group, will remain a real and constant possibility.

Iran has also mused openly about a "world without America."

Again, while a direct attack on the United States by Iran would be insane, the threat of an indirect and deniable hit would loom large. Iran and North Korea have developed and tested missile launch systems designed to be concealed and used aboard cargo vessels; and there is no known defense against such an attack, which could be aimed at wiping out either a U.S. coastal city or the entire U.S. power grid (Google EMP attack, or search this blog's archives accordingly).

Given the above, and in light of 9/11, the U.S. should long ago have preemptively attacked Iran from the air--waves of swift and merciless assaults--in order to (a) eliminate its nuclear and missile programs and war-fighting capabilities, and (b) annihilate the Nazi-lke regime itself, including the monstrous mullahs and their Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. The U.S. alone has the power to end the Iranian threat--without use of nuclear weapons. Israel will have to draw on its presumed nuclear arsenal in order to utterly defeat Iran without suffering devastating counterattacks by the turbaned tyranny and Hezbollah, which is bristling with missiles capable of leveling Haifa and Tel Aviv.

So much for logic. The Obama administration has unfortunately done the opposite. Instead of attacking Iran, the administration has appeased and actually attempted to align with it in the hope of entering into a so-called Grand Bargain aimed at pacifying Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Obama's engagement will go down in history alongside Chamberlain's appeasement as a policy that sought to preserve the peace but instead made war inevitable--on the enemy's terms.

Liberal and progressive Jews for obama refuse to see obama hates Israel and them!

One of the most perplexing questions that ALWAYS seems to come up at any party, social function, meeting of friends, study group (yes, contrary to rumors and eye witness accounts, I DO HAVE friends, actually quite a number of them!)this volatile and irritating question about liberal Jews and why they blindly, obediently continue to support obama's policy of his hatred of Jews and wanting to destroy Israel. obama, the FIRST muslim potus. Yes, he is A MUSLIM. Under islamic law if your father was/is a muslim, then so are you. That fits obama perfectly and he cannot deny this. Many call him the first Black potus but as far as I am concerned he is the first muslim potus, period. One would think this would bother liberal Jews to no end but not a chance. They are even more convinced obama has Israels' best interest at heart.

"New York businessman Jack Bendheim said, "I think he nailed and renailed his commitment to the security of the State of Israel." Other attendees interviewed in the article echoed his sentiments." Where was Mr. Bendheim? He was "At a five-star hotel, eighty Jewish donors shelled out between $25,000- 35,800 to attend a fundraiser with US President Barack Obama."

OK! Got that one? 80 or so Jews paid $25,000-35,8000 apiece to be lied to about how much obama 'loves' Israel and DUMB, brainwashed, generationally duped Jews. These morons really think obama cares about Israel's security and longevity. Tell or repeat a lie often enough and you know what can happen. To think for themselves or to question the politically correct brainwashing passed down generation to generation is well unthinkable for theses Jews.

Need more proof of how brainwashed and stupefied these people are? Here is another one for you: "National Jewish Democratic Council Chairman Marc Stanley told reporters, "Key donors are much more savvy than Republicans would have you believe and have taken a much more critical eye towards Republican attempts to lie about the President's record."

So Republicans and Conservatives (like me, and perhaps you if you are here reading this) are always lying about obama's treatment and past record against Israel and Jews. The facts speak for themselves on obama's record against Israel.

As pointed out below, If and this is a big IF, any of the liberal Jews who lick obama's ....feet, ever grew a brain and used it, decided obama was out to destroy Israel and bring harm to Jews, they would have to consider voting for an opposing candidate. Oh the horror, EMBARRASSMENT and shame of having to vote for the Republican candidate! That will probably never happen.

"ASIDE FROM being morally inconvenient, the other problem with admitting that Obama is anti-Israel is that it requires his Jewish supporters who are unwilling to consciously abandon Israel to contemplate the unattractive option of voting for the Republican nominee for president. And this is something that their liberal conceit cannot abide."

Read the rest below from Caroline Glick.

She romps all over these self inflated, cowardly Libtarded Jews and does a beautiful job of tying this into the debacle of what Yale did when it shut down the university's Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Anti-Semitism (YIISA).

Liberal American Jewish suckers

By Caroline Glick

This week we have been witness to two transparent attempts to sell liberal American Jews a bill of goods. And from the looks of things, both were successful.

The first instance of liberal American Jewish credulity this week unfolded Monday night in Washington. At a five-star hotel, eighty Jewish donors shelled out between $25,000- 35,800 to attend a fundraiser with US President Barack Obama.

As has become his habit, Obama opened his remarks by talking about his commitment to Israel's security. And as has become his habit, Obama went on to say that it is his job to force Israelis to bow to his demands because he knows what is best for Israel.

Speaking of his ongoing efforts to force Israel to concede its right to defensible borders before entering into negotiations with the Hamas-Fatah unity government, Obama said, "There are going to be moments over the course of the next six months or the next 12 months or the next 24 months in which there may be tactical disagreements [between the US and Israel] in terms of how we approach these difficult problems."

Obama went on to say that he expects his American Jewish supporters to take his side in his attacks on Israel.

As he put it, the quest for peace between Israel and the Hamas-Fatah government is, "going to require that not only this administration employs all of its creative powers to try to bring about peace in the region, but it's also going to require all of you as engaged citizens of the United States who are friends of Israel making sure...that you're helping to shape how both Americans and Israelis think about the opportunities and challenges."

And how did the Jewish donors respond to Obama's presentation? They loved it. They were, in the words of Obama donor Marilyn Victor, "reassured."

Speaking with Politico, New York businessman Jack Bendheim said, "I think he nailed and renailed his commitment to the security of the State of Israel." Other attendees interviewed in the article echoed his sentiments.

Imagine how they would have swooned if Obama had confessed a secret love for bagels and lox.

What does Obama have to do for these liberal American Jews to accept that he is no friend of Israel's?

Apparently the answer is that there is nothing Obama can do that will convince his many American Jewish supporters that he is not Israel's friend. They will never believe such a thing because doing so will require them to choose between two unacceptable options. The first option is to admit to themselves that in voting for Obama, they are voting against Israel.

The self-righteousness shared by many of Obama's Jewish supporters makes this option unacceptable. These are people who demonstrate their goodness by embracing every politically correct liberal cause as their own. From abortion to socialized medicine to free passes for illegal immigrants, to opposition to the Iraq war, liberal American Jews are ready to go out on a limb for every cause the liberal media supports.

But ask them to support anything that in any way compromises their self-image as do gooders and liberals and they will shut you out. Consider their willingness to turn a blind eye to Obama's twenty-year association with his anti-Semitic preacher Jeremiah Wright. Just this week Wright was back in the news when he delighted a crowd of thousands of African American worshippers in Baltimore by libeling Israel saying, "The State of Israel is an illegal, genocidal ... place. To equate Judaism with the State of Israel is to equate Christianity with [rapper] Flavor Flav."

During the 2008 presidential campaign liberal American Jews attacked critics of Obama's long-standing devotion to his Jew hating preacher as McCarthyites who were spreading allegations of guilt by association.

And now, when Obama has made supporting Israel a socially costly thing for his supporters to do, rather than pay the price, his self-righteous American Jewish supporters refuse to admit that Obama is not pro-Israel. They attack as a liar anyone who points out that his policies are deeply hostile to Israel.

For instance, Monday National Jewish Democratic Council Chairman Marc Stanley told reporters, "Key donors are much more savvy than Republicans would have you believe and have taken a much more critical eye towards Republican attempts to lie about the President's record."

ASIDE FROM being morally inconvenient, the other problem with admitting that Obama is anti-Israel is that it requires his Jewish supporters who are unwilling to consciously abandon Israel to contemplate the unattractive option of voting for the Republican nominee for president. And this is something that their liberal conceit cannot abide.

The inability of many liberal American Jews to abide by the notion of supporting someone who isn't part of their fancy liberal clique was on display in their responses to another event that occurred this week.

Just hours before Obama snowballed his Jewish donors in Washington, Yale University engaged in a similarly transparent bid to romance its willfully gullible Jewish supporters.

Yale University's announcement two weeks ago that it was shutting down the Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Anti-Semitism (YIISA), unleashed a storm of protest. Students, faculty, alumni and major Jewish organizations all expressed anger and disappointment with Yale's surprise move.

Yale justified its decision on the basis of two falsehoods. First it claimed that YIISA had failed to undertake sufficient top quality scholarship. Yet in the wake of the announcement dozens of leading scholars of anti-Semitism co-signed a letter authored by Prof. Alvin Rosenfeld who directs Indiana University's Institute for the Study of Contemporary Anti-Semitism praising the YIISA as "a pioneer in advancing research on contemporary manifestations of anti-Semitism."

The second reason that Yale claimed it was closing YIISA was because there was insufficient faculty and student interest in its programs. This falsehood was ridiculous on its face since several dozen Yale faculty members served on YIISA's various academic committees and boards of advisors. And in the wake of the university's announcement that it was shuttering YIISA, several faculty members and students protested the move angrily.

The main suspicion provoked by Yale's decision to close YIISA was that it was doing so to appease Islamic critics. YIISA's Director Prof. Charles Small focused its attention on contemporary forms of anti-Semitism. Since the most dangerous form of contemporary anti-Semitism is Islamic anti-Semitism, Small made Islamic anti-Semitism a focus of YIISA's research activities. The concern arose that Yale closed YIISA in order to end campus research and discourse on the topic.

Monday Yale tried to quell the controversy surrounding its decision to close YIISA by announcing that it was forming a new institute called the Yale Program for the Study of Anti-Semitism. Yale announced that its tenured professor Maurice Samuels will serve as director of the program. Samuels is a scholar of French literature.

In his acceptance announcement Samuels addressed Yale's critics promising that "YPSA will discuss both contemporary anti-Semitism and historical anti-Semitism."

He also said that in the coming year YPSA will hold a major conference on the topic of French anti-Semitism.

Samuels' statement is notable for two reasons. First, if it is true, then the only difference between YPSA and YIISA is the director. And the only thing Yale was really interested in doing was firing Small. The question is why would they want to fire him?

The answer to that question appears to be found in the second notable aspect of Samuels' announcement: his planned conference. At a time when millions in post-Mubarak Egypt assembled in Tahrir Square and cheered as the Muslim Brotherhood's spiritual leader Yusuf Qaradawi called for the invasion of Jerusalem, and with Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the brink of nuclear weapons, why would YPSA want to place its focus on France?

Following Yale's announcement that it is launching YPSA, Small released a statement in which he said, among other things, "It appears that Yale, unlike YIISA, is not willing to engage in a comprehensive examination of the current crisis facing living Jews, but instead is comfortable with reexamining the plight of Jews who perished at the hands of anti-Semites. The role of a true scholar and intellectual is to shed light where there is darkness, which is why we at YIISA, are committed to critical engaged scholarship with a broader approach to the complex, and at times controversial context of contemporary global anti-Semitism."

As Small hints, it appears that by forming YPSA, Yale proved its critics right. It closed YIISA because it found Small's concentration on Muslim Jew hatred ideologically problematic. And it opened YPSA because Yale's admininistrastors' trust Samuels to keep researchers and students focused on historic forms of anti-Semitism.

To offset criticism of its transparent move, Yale has been waging a whispering campaign against Small. Yale administrators have been insinuating that because the university did not hire him as a regular member of the Yale faculty that Small is not an academic, or somehow not good enough for Yale.

This campaign brought Holocaust scholar Prof Deborah Lipstadt from Emory University to pen a column in the Forward attacking Small. As she put it, "Part of Yale's discomfort might have come from the fact that a Yale-based scholarly entity was administered by an individual who, while a successful institution builder, was not a Yale faculty member and who had no official position at the university."

But Small was in fact on the Yale faculty. He was a lecturer in the Political Science department and ran one of Yale's post-doctorate and graduate studies fellowship programs. Despite his intensive work building YIISA, Small taught a heavy course load.

Yet while its actions vindicate its critics' greatest concerns, just as Obama was able to win over his Jewish supporters with empty platitudes so Yale's decision to open YPSA has satisfied its most powerful critics. The ADL released a statement applauding the move. Yale's Rabbi James Ponet emailed his colleagues and friends and urged them to email Yale's President and Provost expressing their support for the move.

THEIR WILLINGNESS to support Yale's bid to curtail research and discussion of Islamic Jew hatred and allow Yale to scapegoat Small demonstrates an affliction common to liberal American Jews today. It is the same affliction that makes them unable to countenance voting for a Republican. That affliction is class snobbery. By insinuating that Small is not up to Yale's academic standards, Yale was able to rally the Jewish members of its larger community by appealing to their snobbery. The fact that Yale didn't mind Small serving as a dissertation advisor to its doctoral candidates is immaterial. The facts be damned.

The same Ivy League snobbery that makes it socially unacceptable to vote for a Republican - and certainly not for a Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann despite their deep-seated and consistent support for Israel - is what allowed Yale to get away with ending its study of Islamic anti-Semitism by besmirching Small's academic achievements and good name. Remove him from the club, and you end opposition to his academically unjustifiable firing.

The great circus master P.T. Barnum said famously that there is a sucker born every minute. Liberal American Jews aren't born suckers. They become suckers out of their own free will.

It matters even more today than it did back when this country was founded. Our Constitution DOES NOT need to be rewritten no matter how the left spins this. Keep pushing those who love the Constitution and this country and you just may start a second and perhaps very necessary revolution. Time magazine is not even fit for use in an outhouse.

CAIR No Longer Tax Exempt

Gary Fouse

Nihad Awad, CAIR CEO


Here is something good that happened while I was away; CAIR has lost its IRS tax-exempt status (pending appeal) for not filing the necessary reports for three years. The below report is by the Investigative Project on Terrorism.

http://www.investigativeproject.org/2990/cair-loses-irs-status

One can only wonder how that one slipped through the watchful eyes of the Obama administration. I wouldn't be surprised if wunderkind Tim (Turbo-Tax ) Geithner gets marching orders to rule in CAIR's favor in the appeal.



"Uhhhh,........yeaaaah."


Now that the unindicted co-conspirators at CAIR have lost their tax-exempt status (pending appeal), look for them to take one of two roads. Either they claim victim status as is their wont or they refuse to say anything about it. (You won't find it on their website. Silly me for wondering. Here is the statement from spokeshole Ibrahim Hooper.


http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/06/23/cair-stripped-tax-exempt-status-by-irs/

"This is a technical paperwork issue that we're dealing with with the IRS -- as 275,000 other groups, including the AARP and major universities," Hooper said, before suggesting that reporting on its lost status was part of an effort to spread anti-Muslim "hate."

Of course.

Feminists examine evil and good: Paul Ibbetson

Current feminazis do not bash men? Really, I had NOT noticed that at all. But then again I have no love for feminism gone wild or man bashing just because a lot of these 'ladies' hang and seem to agree with the likes of code pink. Not all of them but enough to make me extremely wary and not trust any feminazis. Why should men trust any of them? They refuse to come out against, speak out against islam and or islamic sharia law. This is wrong on their part, very wrong.

So they think Weiner gate is a boon to the feminazi cause? Perhaps, as mentioned in the next feed below. What a pathetic group to bank on the likes of Weiner as a boon to the cause of the feminazi movement.

Testosterone vs. Estrogen: Feminists examine evil and good

By Paul Ibbetson

The current mentality forwarded today is that feminists don't bash men. That's just something angry males say when faced with the undeniable logic forwarded by the women's movements. If you are a reasonable male and wish to avoid an argument you will keep your eyes forward and just nod in agreement. The first problem with such a statement is that it is seldom placed to scrutiny with how feminists truly act. Second, these kinds of propositions are almost always void of half of humanity's thoughts on the issue. Yep, very few men other than the occasional token male academic feminist get to chime in on the subject.

An example of the common feminist disconnect with reality is seen in ABC's This Week with Christiane Amanpour. During the program Roundtable: Sex and Politics, Amanpour brought together a feminist coven to discuss the after-effects of the Anthony Weiner sexting incident. Strangely enough, the group discussed the good fortune of Weiner's adulterous actions as it was seen as fortuitous to the feminist movement. Considering that Weiner's spouse was victimized by the New York democrat's philandering, this is contradictory enough. But guess why this wife's pain was seen as a feminist gain? Amanpour would lead her all-female roundtable through a discussion of the evils of testosterone and how the Weiner scandal could open new inroads for more females in politics. Here is where many a clear-thinking man and woman will start to really look askew at the feminist mindset.

Roundtable attendee Torie Clarke said that in politics and the public sector women were more honest, sincere and hardworking than men. She added later in the discussion that women do not compete in the negative ways that men do, but instead work to accomplish goals. Wrapped around the Weiner sexting scandal, feminist and roundtable attendee Claire Shipman got down to business and made the first strike on male testosterone as the culprit that leads to risky, and just plain bad business deals. Woman-controlled companies were said to be better profit makers. Additional claims were made that women do not have the same ego problems as men. In short, testosterone was framed as evil while estrogen was stated as being money-making-less-fighting-egoless-sex-scandal-free good stuff! The problem with these statements is that they are so biased and devoid of truth that it is difficult to decide whether to laugh or cry at the audacity of people that would actually share this tripe as intelligent dialogue.

Feminists miss the mark when they attempt to think like socialists and separate men and women into groups as if they have no individualism. This alone is a kind of dehumanization that leads to women's victimization. Of course Clarke's assertion that women are more honest, sincere and hardworking than men is ludicrous and based on nothing more than her desire for the world to be as she wishes it. In fact, women, as equally capable of remarkable accomplishments in society, also have the ability to screw up, just like men. Take the Anthony Weiner incident before the panel. Weiner was no doubt an adulterer and a liar, but the women he cavorted with through cyberspace were not children being stalked, but active, mutually consenting female adults who engaged in sexual phone calls and electronic photo and message swapping. If it takes two to tango it most certainly takes two to Twitter in the Weiner love circle.

World Net Daily has a painfully detailed history of the modern "sexpidemic" of female school teachers, public servants who failed to keep their dignity in their panties when it came to their students. Ranging from substitutes as young as 19 to veterans as old as 45, these female teachers violated societal trust and were convicted or are alleged to have been involved in sexual texting, phone sex, nude picture e-mails and many counts of sexual intercourse with under-aged high school and grade school male students. Yes, many female public servants in the education field, along with their estrogen, have put the shameful acts of Weiner to shame.

The idea that women don't have ego issues like men, and that they just naturally come together for the purpose of problem-solving is nothing short of stupid. In many cases, the harshest critics of women are other women. The relentless attacks by feminist organizations on females attempting to break the political glass ceiling such as Sarah Palin expose the hypocrisy that overflowed from the Amanpour roundtable. Women, alone or in groups, are often just as strategic, cutthroat and petty as their male counterparts. We don't even need to examine female political figures such as Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer to see this as factual.

The truth is that men and women are individuals with the potential to make smart and dumb decisions, good and evil actions. It is below intelligent discourse to demean men over the phallic falsehood that testosterone is a predictor of indecent conduct. It is as petty and baseless as decreasing the value of women based on the natural occurrence of menstrual cycles. We can be above this kind of thinking. Accountability for men is truly found at the same place it is for women. That is, in the evaluation of the heart, the mind and the soul. These are the critical areas from which public actions, policies and private conduct spring forth. The growth of women in politics as everywhere else will be found in the evaluation of these characteristics and not by attacking men's natural composition.
