Who is Really Distorting Islam?

The following, unlike what one may initially think, is not a personal attack on Barack Obama. Though his real motives may differ, he serves as an example of a line of thought that pollutes the minds of countless in the free world, simply because they have no sufficient knowledge of Islam, and/or history.
It is natural, therefore, for people to assume that all religions are the same; that there are no differences between cultures, ethnic groups, or types of steak (venison is good, by the way - you should all try that).
But that's nothing except lazy, irresponsible thinking. While I can't blame Muslims for spreading lies about their faith, we who are born into supposedly Democratic societies have a responsibility (there's that uncomfortable word again), to educate ourselves about the real dangers to our societies, so one day we, or our kids, would not wake up living as the slaves of tyrants and murderers.

Either way, let's move on to some quotes and facts, as presented in Sultan Knish.

---

• "All of us recognize that this great religion (Islam), in the hands of a few extremists, has been distorted." - Barack Hussein Obama
  "Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all!" - Ayatollah Khomeini


• "Well, the phrase jehad has a lot of meanings within Islam. It is subject to lot of different interpretations." - Barack Hussein Obama
  "Jihad means the conquest of all non-Muslim territories. Such a war may well be declared after the formation of an Islamic government worthy of that name, at the direction of the Imam or under his orders. It will then be the duty of every able-bodied adult male to volunteer for this war of conquest, the final aim of which is to put Qur'anic law in power from one end of the earth to the other." - Ayatollah Khomeini


• "We affirm that Hindu or Muslim or Christian or Jew or any other religion; we all need to treat each other with respect and dignity" - Barack Hussein Obama
  "Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends. They are but friends and protectors to each other." - Koran 5:51


• "The overwhelming majority (of Muslims) want peace, justice, fairness and tolerance." - Barack Hussein Obama
  "Convert to Islam, and then you will be safe, for if you don't, you should know that I have come to you with an army of men that love death, as you love life." - Caliph Abu Bakr, Mohammed's Successor

"Who is really distorting Islam? Is Barack Hussein Obama correct that Islam's vision is being distorted by a few men in caves somewhere, or is Obama the "distorter" of Islam?

Even a brief reading of Islamic history makes the answer all too obvious. It is not Al Qaeda that is distorting Islam, but Obama. And not Obama alone. Liberal elites in the West have firmly dedicated themselves to misrepresenting and distorting Islam, in order to continue Islamic immigration into the West. To filling America, Europe, Canada, Australia and all the rest up, until every little boy is named Mohammed, and every little girl has to cover her face, or have acid thrown in it.

Is the former self-proclaimed "Jakarta street kid" in the White House really ignorant about what Islam represents, or is he playing a double game. It does not take a genius to simply look at the Muslim world, and compare the average level of human rights in it, with the average level of human rights in Christian and Jewish countries, and come to some rather obvious conclusions.

But while liberals assail Judaism and Christianity, condemn America and Israel, their choirs of academics and politicians sing the praises of Islam. If you believe them, then there is nothing wrong with Islam. Just a few black sheep like Al-Awlaki and some bigoted Islamophobes in America. But if that's the case, then why is the Muslim world so ugly? Why does it mistreat women and minorities? Why does it have the state sponsored murder of gay men? Why does it send Christians to reeducation camps? Why does it adopt the Mein Kampf as a second Koran and preach the murder of Jews?

There is only one answer. There is something rotten in Islam. And for all the poison that Obama may pour into our ears, it is he who is distorting Islam."

Wake up America!

Here is a nice, concise rant on Obama. The first muslim potus. I refuse to capitalize when the post has to do with the mullah in the White house, Obama. Read Mark Steyn's "America Alone" if you want to see what the United States is headed for with the muslim population. It is a great book. It will shock you, and what is covered, should.

Wake up America!

My two cents

This week, I can’t help but write about OhBummer. While the 100th bank failure is announced and unemployment is rising and debt is totally off the meter, what does OhBummer do? Help everyone but Americans.

He has given out money to the place he grew up in, Indonesia and to Kenya, his birth place. It was recently revealed that billions, not millions have been given towards Palestinian aid. He insists on loving up to the Pakistanis, where he spent some time with his fascist mom. What else do these places all have in common? With the exception of Kenya, they are Muslim majority countries.

More and more we see this fraud denying his own people and helping the very people that aim to bring us to our knees.

This week I have moved the minorities section, towards the top of this note. With OhBummer handing out the American taxpayer’s money so freely is he helping these people? Of course not. Why is it so important we expose the daily persecution of these people? Simple stuff really.

It’s a look into the future. In Europe and the UK they are no where near minority status, but just look at how Muslims act there. It is estimated that the ‘religion’ of Islam will be the worlds most dominant by 2025. By that time you can expect a minimum of 20-35 million Muslims in the USA. Fast forward to 2050 and you will see a Muslim population of 60-80 million people in the USA. Forty years away, seems such a long way off though. What about your children or your Grandchildren?

Imagine your granddaughter in the year 2050, walking down the street in Owensboro Kentucky and she it set upon by three Muslim youths, then raped tortured and left for dead. No one outside of the very local area will hear about it as all of the media outlets are owned by Muslims.

The Police are reluctant to do anything as they are Muslims too. Finally, after all of the hurdles and the constant harassment and death threats to you and your family, the Police decide to listen to you and even document a complaint. As your granddaughter cannot produce four male adult Muslim witnesses to her rape and torture, she is given a hundred lashes. Stoning hasn’t quite been approved yet for adulterers, which is what your granddaughter is now termed.

This above is not really a work of fiction, only the location has been changed.

WAKE UP AMERICA.

Race baiting is back is style for the demosocialistacrats

This is the only post for today as I am quite wracked with pain. My apologies and will be back over the weekend. This is from the Patriot Post and by Mark Alexander, the founder of the Patriot Post. An excellent article on how low the liberals are stooping. They have become quite desperate and will stop at nothing to try an retain their grip on power. They will fail in NOvember. Thanks for understanding! PatriotUSA

Race Bait Reality Check
By Mark Alexander

"We have seen the mere distinction of color made in the most enlightened period of time, a ground of the most oppressive dominion ever exercised by man over man." --James Madison

Obama's Race-Card PlaybookYou know things are going well when your political opponents resort to the lowest form of Demo-goguery -- race baiting.

Barack Obama has portrayed Tea Party Patriots as a gang of malcontents "waving their little teabags" and to ignorant for "a serious conversation." His Senior White House Adviser David Axelrod adds, "Any time that you have severe economic conditions, there is always an element of disaffection that can mutate into something that's unhealthy."

Such undignified characterizations notwithstanding, Obama and his Leftist cadres are clearly concerned that an enlightened grassroots movement to restore Rule of Law will undermine their Socialist agenda.

Last week, Obama surrogates at the National Association to Agitate Colored People (NAACP) took over the effort to stir that pot. The NAACP calculus is simple: If they can coerce the Tea Party into defending itself against spurious charges of racism, they distract the movement from focusing on the abject failure of Barack Obama's policies.

NAACP president Ben Jealous warned, "The danger of the Tea Party is that people see them and think about periods in history when groups like them were much more powerful than they are now, and so a lot of what we spend energy doing is explaining to people what reality is, and that the reality is that the majority from 2008 still exists. ... What we take issue with is the Tea Party's continued tolerance for bigotry and bigoted statements. The time has come for them to accept the responsibility that comes with influence and make clear there is no place for racism and anti-Semitism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry in their movement."

Jealous and his hooligans went on to officially condemn the movement as "a threat to the pursuit of human rights, justice and equality for all" because of its "the racist elements."

Perhaps by "racist elements," Jealous was alluding to the fact that almost 25 percent of Tea Party participants are racial minorities? Of course not.

Vernon Parker, an Arizona Tea Party congressional candidate who is a black, offered this rejoinder: "The NAACP should be concerned about bringing jobs to people in depressed areas. Not the Tea Party."

South Carolina conservative congressional candidate Tim Scott, who is also a black, added, "I believe that the NAACP is making a grave mistake in stereotyping a diverse group of Americans who care deeply about their country and who contribute their time, energy and resources to make a difference."

Ward Connerly, founder of the American Civil Rights Institute, concludes, "[R]ace is the engine that drives the political Left. In the courtrooms, on college campuses, and, most especially, in our politics, race is a central theme. Where it does not naturally rise to the surface, there are those who will manufacture and amplify it. Such is the case with the claims that the 'Tea Partiers' are a bunch of racists... I am convinced beyond any doubt that all of this is part of the strategic plan being implemented by the Left in its current campaign to remake America."

Not to be outdone by the NAACP, that erstwhile protagonist of race-baiting mischief, the "Reverend" Al Sharpton, claimed, "The Tea Party, as a political philosophy, is to reverse what civil rights did and that is saying the federal government must protect people. There clearly are some racial leaves in their tea bag, but this is not just about race. It is about how you see government."

Sharpton, who has retained his official media celeb race-card status despite having fabricated the notorious Tawana Brawley rape hoax, is now treated with the same admiration as the "Reverend" Jesse Jackson, he of the Jew-baiting "Hymies" and "Hymietown" comments.

But perhaps the most influential purveyor of this sort of racism is the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who recently emerged from hiding to assert that Tea Party opposition to Obama's agenda is based on their hatred for "people of color."

Why is Wright the most influential of the race hustlers? He was Obama's religious mentor, an inexorable and unapologetic propagator of afrocentric liberation theology and its message of black supremacist doctrine and "social gospel" Marxism.

Wright officiated at Obama's wedding, baptized his daughters and is credited by Obama for the title of his book, "The Audacity of Hope." In that book, Obama describes Wright as the "vessel carrying the story of a people into future generations and into a larger world."

What story did that "vessel" teach Obama?

In Wright's own words, "The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color. The government gives [black people] drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strikes law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, g-d d--- America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people. G-d d--- America for treating our citizens as less than human. G-d d---- America for as long as she acts like she is god and she is supreme."

Wright calls America "the US-KKK-A" and says the nation is "controlled by and run by rich white people. Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run. We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in god. And. And-and! God! Has got! To be sick! Of this sh-t!"

In an ridiculous attempt to compare Obama to Jesus, Wright said, "Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people."

Recall how Obama responded to video evidence of his mentor's black supremacist rants: "It sounds like he was trying to be provocative. ... This is somebody who I have known for 20 years [who] led me to Christ. He is a biblical scholar. He is a well-regarded preacher and somebody who is known for talking about the social gospel. ... [Wright is] like family to me."

The racist Reverend Wright has also been a featured speaker at NAACP events, spouting the same messages as has fellow racist Islamist cleric Louis Farrakhan. So before Ben Jealous lectures Tea Party Patriots about their "continued tolerance for bigotry and bigoted statements," he ought to pay more attention to his own organization.

Of course, Leftmedia types propagate accusations of racism by Obama's race-card cutouts. According to political science professor Jim Campbell from the State University of New York, "[M]edia have been successful in [playing the race card]. You have people now talking about the tea party and others in terms of this race issue, and that in itself deflects from what the tea party people are really concerned about, which is out-of-control federal spending and excessive intrusion of government. To the extent that the press, even by suggesting that race is an issue, if it gets everybody talking about the tea party in those terms, they have been successful."

For the record, racism is thriving in some American sub-cultures and movements, but the Tea Party is not one of them.

I also make a larger point -- that the Democrat Party has thoroughly institutionalized racial segregation by co-opting black America as one of its most loyal constituencies. Indeed, an unprecedented 93 percent of black voters, like so many lemmings, march in lockstep to their Democrat masters.

But, in the rhetorical style of Jesse Jackson, the message of race they embrace is a disgrace. The Democrats have replaced the chains of chattel slavery with the chains of welfare and entitlement slavery.

From the Lincoln Memorial in 1963, the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. proclaimed, "I have a dream that my children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." However, Leftists race-based policies such as "Affirmative Action" are precisely designed to judge by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character.

In 2008, Martin Luther King III declared, "race relations clearly will be advanced ... because of President-elect Obama."

Unfortunately, he was probably referring to "advancement" in the NAACP sense. And if so, he was correct

Two fools, catering to Islam and Muslims

If I had not watched it, and read about it, I might not have believed the idiot Bolden's words about NASA's 'new' mission to help the Muslim world. Help them, with what? Learning how to launch ICBM's at the enemies of Islam? That would be the entire free world last time I checked. As we have a complete and total idiot in the White House, the first Muslim POTUS, it really makes sense that Bolden was put in charge of NASA and what was said, was said. The mullah in the White House has bowed down to the pig king of Saudia Arabia, made a ridiculous speech from Cairo that was full of incorrect facts, information in regard to Islam, Muslims and has done many more things to force the advance of Islam upon America and Americans.


Gadi Adelman has done a great article on this blunder and you will also find an update about the administration back peddling on what Obama and Bolden said about NASA and Muslims. Too late, the damage has been done to the first Muslim POTUS. Well Done BHO, well done. Traitor!

NASA: “Reach out to the Muslim world”
By Gadi Adelman 


NASA Administrator Charles Bolden told Al Jazeera TV that his "foremost" mission was to improve relations with the Muslim world. Since when has a US science organization been asked to massage Muslim egos?

“Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Obama Administration Enterprise. Its four-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.”

Okay, not the way you exactly remember it, but you get the point.

Al Arabiya Network has the honor of being the first network to have the first formal interview with President Obama after his inauguration.

Charles Bolden, NASA Administrator was in the Middle East last month marking the one year anniversary of Obamas speech to the Muslim world and was interviewed by Al Jazeera Network on June 30th. When asked by the interviewer “Why are you here?” he stated the following:

“I am here in the region; it’s sort of the first anniversary of President Barak Obama’s visit to Cairo and his speech there when he gave what has now become known as Obama’s Cairo initiative, where he announced that he wanted this to be the new beginning of the relationship between the United States and the Muslim world. When I became the NASA administrator -- or before I became the NASA administrator -- he charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science ... and math and engineering.” You can watch the interview on Al Jazeera with Bolden here:



There are so many things wrong with Bolden’s statement that it is hard to know where to begin. “To help them feel good”? When did it become our job as a country or for NASA for that matter, to make others feel good about their own inadequacies? Can someone show me anywhere in the Constitution where that is covered? I looked and couldn’t find it.

“Their historic contribution”? Okay, wait… Let me look here through my “Big Book of Muslim Scientists and their Accomplishments”…. Hmm, that book has nothing but blank pages, what the -? Okay, okay, that was a cheap shot. Let’s just see how many of 1.4 billion Muslims (20 per cent of the world's population) have won a Nobel Prize related to the sciences:

1999 Chemistry - Ahmed Zewail,
1979 Physics - Abdus Salam

Not bad, 2 Muslim Nobel Prize winners for science.

Now, just for comparison, let’s see how many scientific Nobel Prize winners were Jews (who number 12 million, 0.2% of the world's population - 2 out of every 1,000 people):

I’m sorry, but due to editorial constraints I cannot post all their names. Here is a list by number:

1905-2009 Chemistry – 30
1908-2006 Physiology /Medicine – 58
1907-2005 Physics – 48

136 Jewish Nobel Prize winners. Quite a large discrepancy between the Islamic population's contribution to the world and that of the Jews, wouldn’t you say?

According to President Obama at his speech to the Muslim World in Cairo last year he was a “student of history”:

“As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam. It was Islam – at places like Al-Azhar University – that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe’s Renaissance and Enlightenment. It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra; our magnetic compass and tools of navigation; our mastery of pens and printing; our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed. Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires; timeless poetry and cherished music; elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation. And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.”

He must not have been a very good student since he got all four Muslims’ historical contributions wrong. Algebra is from Diophantus, a Greek who some historians say should share the prestige of being the father of algebra with al-Khwarizmi. “Sharing” that title would be odd, since Diophantus lived between 200 and 298 A.D., some 500 years before al-Khwarizmi, and certainly more than 300 years before Islam was invented.

Don’t tell the Chinese that the Muslims invented the compass, since that just happens to be one of the “Four great inventions of ancient China”, along with, oh yes, printing.

Ancient Indians were the first to use the pen. According to ancient text the earliest of pens made in India used bird feathers, bamboo sticks etc. The old literature of Puranas, Ramayana and Mahabharta used this kind of pen roughly 500 BC according to Wikipedia, though at this time scribes in Ancient Egypt had been using pens to write on papyrus scrolls for thousands of years.

According to the National Institutes of Health, the Greeks influenced healing practices in the Islamic world.

So what, if anything, have the Muslims actually given us? Perhaps Obama knows his history and was making the suggestion to Charles Bolden to make them feel good; “find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science ... and math and engineering” because he knows there is no real contribution to speak of?

There is a very simple reason as to why the Muslims have given so little when it comes to the sciences; science is not compatible with Sharia. We are talking about people that still believe that the Prophet Mohammed split the moon in to two parts with his finger and then re-sealed it. This is according to both the Koran (Sura 54) and the Hadith (Chapter 8, book 39, 6724-26).

Today’s Islam has maintained that Islam is a complete philosophy and therefore cannot be improved upon. This again is the reason for the lack of Muslim science. For the most part Muslims are anti-education except when it comes to study of the Koran. During Taliban rule in Afghanistan, schools were burned and teachers killed. Women are denied education all together. How can any culture contribute anything when they won’t even educate themselves?

What concerns me more here is the not so obvious. First, do we really want the Muslim world to have the technology of space travel? That same technology is what is used for ICBMs (Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles). If you can send something in to space, you then have the same technology to send a missile from the Middle East to the U.S. Do I need to remind anyone of Iran’s Ahmadinejad’s aspiration to bomb the “Big Devil”? Do we really want to invite Muslim countries into NASA with open arms? We might as well have our arms raised above our heads instead.

I could go on and on with all the things that Obama has done to push forward the Muslim agenda, but that would end up being a 4 part series rather than one article. Personally I couldn’t care less what culture or country he instructed Charles Bolden to “help them feel good about” themselves, I would be writing the same thing if he were trying to include Israel in NASA if they had nothing to offer.

We have problems here at home: the economy, the unemployment, the border, the gulf oil spill which is now at day 83 and millions of gallons hitting our shores, so why are we trying to make the Muslim countries “feel good”? I have a novel idea. Why not ask Charles Bolden to take all those great minds at NASA and make us here in America feel good? Why not instruct him to use NASA resources to stop the oil leak? We could put a man on the moon in 1969 but we can stop a leak 5000 feet down in 2010?

Unless the Muslims want to invent dehydrated humus for our astronauts to take in to space I don’t see where they can contribute a whole heck of a lot to NASA. We saw on 9/11 what some can do with a 757; does anyone really want their more extreme members in the cockpit of the shuttle?

Muslim Outreach Not the Job of NASA, White House Says

Rev. Wright: " White folks done took this country"

In case you were wondering what might have happened to Obama's mentor and former pastor, the nasty, race baiting Jerimiah Wright, look no farther. He has been lurking about under the rocks and with the toadstools. His comments here are nothing new but he has some very anti-Semitic comments and speaks speaks ill of South Africans, South Africa, of course white folks and 'them Jews.'

I find it it quite telling that Wright has moved into a new and very exclusive home sold by Trinity United Church to a trust, ATG. The home and 'neighborhood' smack of the rich white people and 'them Jews' that Wright so quickly condemns and hates. It is not too hard to see why his class only drew 15 to 20 people. It will be interesting to what my friend who runs AfricanCrisis and AmericanCrisis has to say about Wright's comments. I will post any reply from Jan here.

Obama's race-rant Rev. rages on
'White folk done took this country'

By Maureen Callahan

NY Post: CHICAGO -- He's been keeping such a low profile since nearly derailing Barack Obama's campaign for president in 2008 -- is it possible that the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright has mellowed?

Hardly.

During a five-day seminar Wright taught last week in Chicago, he was back at it, claiming that whites and Jews are controlling the flow of worldwide information and oppressing blacks in Israel and America.

"White folk done took this country," Wright said. "You're in their home, and they're gonna let you know it."

The course, advertised as focusing on politics and public policy in South Africa and America, was taught in a small, ground-floor room at the Chicago Theological Seminary, where Wright's voice echoed out an open window. The class was composed of about 15 to 20 students, mainly older African-American women who would arrive early and giddily linger during lunch breaks and after class, looking for the reverend's attention. (The course cost a little over $1,000 if taken for college credit and $300 if taken without.)

The absence of young people was telling: The lectures seemed ossified, relics of a pre-civil-rights America -- a point that Obama himself made during his famous speech on race in March 2008, prompted by the incendiary comments ("God damn America!") made by his former pastor and mentor.

"Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect," Obama said.

Yet during this course -- which was described as asking, "What is the response and public witness of persons of faith to ongoing developments in both countries?" -- Wright made many statements about what he believes are the true aims of whites and Jews.

"You are not now, nor have you ever been, nor will you ever be a brother to white folk," he said. "And if you do not realize that, you are in serious trouble."

He cited the writings of Bill Jones -- author of the book "Is God a White Racist?" -- as proof that white people cannot be trusted. "Bill said, 'They just killed four of their own at Kent State. They'll step on you like a cockroach and keep on movin', cause you not a brother to them.' "

Wright referred to Italians as "Mamma Luigi" and "pizzeria." He said the educational system in America is designed by whites to miseducate blacks "not by benign neglect but by malignant intent."

He said Ethiopian Jews are despised by white Jews: "And now the Knesset [Israeli parliament] is meeting with European Jews, voting on whether or not these African Jews can get into [Israel]."

The civil-rights movement, Wright said, was never about racial equality: "It was always about becoming white . . . to master what [they] do." Martin Luther King, he said, was misguided for advocating nonviolence among his people, "born in the oven of America."

"We probably have more African-Americans who've been brainwashed than we have South Africans who've been brainwashed," he said, and seemed to allude to President Obama twice: "Unfortunately, I got in trouble with a fella for saying this . . . All your commentaries are written by oppressors." At the mention of Nation of Islam head Louis Farrakhan -- whom Obama disavowed during the campaign -- black leaders "go cuttin' and duckin'," he said.

In March, Wright told The Washington Post that he expects to speak to Obama again, when "he is out of the White House." Last June, he told a Virginia newspaper that the only reason he and the president were not speaking at the moment is that "them Jews ain't going to let him talk to me."

From 1972 until May 2008, Wright served as pastor of Trinity United Church of Chicago, located in a rough area of the city's South Side. Today, he is "pastor emeritus" and identified as such on the rugs that line the doorways at Trinity.

Until very recently, Wright lived with his wife and children in a nearby two-story house, in a more affluent subdivision surrounded by roadblocks; the line between rich and poor is literal. His former neighbors all say he kept to himself.

A few months ago, Wright and his family moved into a brand-new million-dollar home located near a golf course and made of stone with a recessed doorway surrounded by pillars. It's the only house on a cul-de-sac. Records show it was sold by Trinity United Church to a company called ATG Trust and paid for in cash.

Since leaving Trinity, Wright has traveled the country, preaching and lecturing. He said he's been working "all year long" with Trinity's preschool program and called US Education Secretary Arne Duncan a disaster. Duncan, a former college basketball star, was given the job only because Obama enjoys his "good jump shot in the back yard," Wright said.

Wright gives interviews intermittently but declined to speak to The Post. He recently headlined a two-day "men's empowerment revival" in Florida but in mixed company is careful not to say anything racist or inflammatory.

The most he had to say about the African-American experience that day was "God is working on your behalf."

Hat tip: China Confidential

Did Obama Make a Deal With Iran? Did He Allow Interpol Free Reign In America So the Iranians Could Use Them To Hunt Dissidents Here?

Cross Posted from Holger Awakens

A fascinating article here at Europe News talks about the fact that the Iranians are using international police force, Interpol, to hunt down Iranian dissidents across the globe who Iran has classified as "terrorists" ....unlike Hezbollah and Hamas which Iran, of course, deems freedom fighters. But the most disturbing part of this article is the fact that it appears that the Iranians are even using Interpol to search for these dissidents here in America. The strategy is pretty simple - the Iranians are trying to cut down on international support for the Green Revolution inside of Iran and if you consider all of the ex-Iranians who live in America who have been calling for the fall of the mullah regime, our country is rich in targets for the Iranians.

Let's take a quick look again at just what Barack Hussein Obama did at the end of last year...under the cloak of night...in the darkness of the White House (from the Washington Examiner):

Obama gives Interpol free hand in U.S.

No presidential statement or White House press briefing was held on it. In fact, all that can be found about it on the official White House Web site is the Dec. 17 announcement and one-paragraph text of President Obama's Executive Order 12425, with this innocuous headline: "Amending Executive Order 12425 Designating Interpol as a public international organization entitled to enjoy certain privileges, exemptions, and immunities."In fact, this new directive from Obama may be the most destructive blow ever struck against American constitutional civil liberties. No wonder the White House said as little as possible about it.

First, Obama has granted Interpol the ability to operate within the territorial limits of the United States without being subject to the same constitutional restraints that apply to all domestic law enforcement agencies such as the FBI. Second, Obama has exempted Interpol's domestic facilities -- including its office within the U.S. Department of Justice -- from search and seizure by U.S. authorities and from disclosure of archived documents in response to Freedom of Information Act requests filed by U.S. citizens. Think very carefully about what you just read: Obama has given an international law enforcement organization that is accountable to no other national authority the ability to operate as it pleases within our own borders, and he has freed it from the most basic measure of official transparency and accountability, the FOIA.

Now, with that reminder of the travesty of Obama's midnight order, let's look at some of the latest situation regarding how the Iranians are using Interpol to do its dirty work:

The Iranian regime is notorious for cracking down on dissent inside Iran. Now Mahmoud Ahmadenijad and the mullahs are targeting dissidents in other countries -- including those in the United States.
And they are using an international organization to do it.

Shahram Homayoun fled Iran for the United States 19 years ago. He was a marked man in his native country, because of his support for democracy and human rights.

Now the regime has finally caught up with Homayoun: not in Tehran, but in Los Angeles.

"They have managed to keep me here, and it seems like there is nothing the U.S. government can do," Homayoun told CBN News in an exclusive interview.

Homayoun owns a satellite television network in L.A. called Channel One TV. He broadcasts pro-democracy programming into Iran on a daily basis.

Now Iranian officials want to silence him -- permanently. A prosecutor in the Iranian city of Shiraz recently issued an arrest warrant against Homayoun on charges of terrorism.

This is just one example of what is going on. So, I ask the question - are you comfortable with an American citizen or someone residing in America being subject to international censorship, harassment and even arrest INSIDE of our borders? Okay, another question - is it just coincidence that shortly after the revolution in Iran occurred, in which Barack Hussein Obama did NOTHING to support the revolutionaries, that our President decided to give this free pass to Interpol inside of American borders?

At a time when Iran represents probably the biggest single organized threat to America, our President of 16 months not only hasn't done anything militarily to stop them but he has also done little with his threat of "sanctions." At the same time, the Iranians are enjoying a new long reach into America to put the clamps on those here who wish to shed the light on the evils of the Iranian regime. Which leads me to another question of you. If the Iranians can declare Iranian-Americans in the U.S. as terrorists and have Interpol arrest them in the U.S., can Iran not declare ANY American the same kind of terrorist and use this new found legal tool here?

I have said it before. Not only has Barack Hussein Obama done NOTHING to stop the Iranian regime's progress toward nuclear weaponry and their planned assault on Israel and the World, Obama has worked with them. Is this not aiding and abetting an enemy of the United States of America? Isn't there a remedy against Presidents who would go down this path?

Iran Targeting Dissidents Through Global Police


The Iranian regime is notorious for cracking down on dissent inside Iran. Now Mahmoud Ahmadenijad and the mullahs are targeting dissidents in other countries -- including those in the United States.

And they are using an international organization to do it.

The Regime Never Forgets

Shahram Homayoun fled Iran for the United States 19 years ago. He was a marked man in his native country, because of his support for democracy and human rights.

Now the regime has finally caught up with Homayoun: not in Tehran, but in Los Angeles.

"They have managed to keep me here, and it seems like there is nothing the U.S. government can do," Homayoun told CBN News in an exclusive interview.

Homayoun owns a satellite television network in L.A. called Channel One TV. He broadcasts pro-democracy programming into Iran on a daily basis.

Now Iranian officials want to silence him -- permanently. A prosecutor in the Iranian city of Shiraz recently issued an arrest warrant against Homayoun on charges of terrorism.

Homayoun explained that he has never called for violence or terrorism of any kind against the Iranian government.

"Never," he said. "Even if the Iranian regime changes, we are encouraging people not to seek revenge. We are anti-terrorism."

Yet Homayoun is now a wanted man, unable to leave the U.S. for fear of arrest.

Marked as a Terrorist

The Iranian regime alerted INTERPOL, the global law enforcement organization, about Homayoun. The organization then issued what's known as a "Red Notice" against him. The Red Notice alerted all 188 INTERPOL member countries that Homayoun was wanted for terrorism.

Homayoun told CBN News that the terrorist charge has made his life extremely difficult.

"I received a notice from my bank in California letting me know about the INTERPOL arrest warrant," he explained. "After a few days, they closed my account. This was after 10 years that I had an account with this bank. I wanted to open an account at another local bank, and they turned me down as well because I was on the INTERPOL list of terrorists. My wife was also turned down when she tried to open an account."

Homayoun said he can't believe the irony of it all. He spends his days on TV speaking out against terrorism committed by the Iranian regime, which funds groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. Now that very regime is accusing him of acts of terror in order to silence him -- and INTERPOL seems to be playing right along.

"You have a terrorist regime in Iran -- they whack their own dissidents inside the country. They've murdered over 200 opposition people outside the country. And now they're using the international police organization to go after those same dissidents," Iran expert Ken Timmerman said.

Timmerman told CBN News that INTERPOL should have thrown out the Iranian warrant against Homayoun immediately.

"INTERPOL should not be taking the word of the Iranian regime, a terrorist organization, to the bank," he said. "They should not be, without any kind of critical examination, accepting arrest warrants from the Iranian regime against people that they can easily verify their activities have nothing to do with terrorism, like Sharham Homayoun."

Organization Partially Funded by U.S. Tax Dollars

INTERPOL helps facilitate cooperation and information sharing among law enforcement agencies across the world. It is funded in part by U.S. taxpayer dollars and is headquartered in Lyon, France.

The group's representatives told CBN News that INTERPOL does not get involved in political matters. They would not comment on the Iranian charges against Homayoun, which appear politically motivated.

"They have no police authority here in the U.S.," said Timothy Williams, the director of INTERPOL's U.S. branch in Washington, D.C. "They can't come here and make arrests. They don't have any authorities here in the U.S. There's not INTERPOL agents running around the world making arrests."

Williams said his office works closely with INTERPOL headquarters in France, but ultimately answers to the U.S. attorney general and the president of the United States.

"If there is a terrorism lead, we may send it to the FBI here who will work that lead," he said. "If its narcotics, we may send it to the DEA or a state or local agency. That's how it works here in the U.S."

Obama's Controversial Executive Order

But critics fear a recent move by the Obama administration could give INTERPOL free reign inside America and lead to the targeting of more U.S. residents like Homayoun.

President Obama issued a controversial executive order late last year that grants INTERPOL the ability to operate on U.S. soil without the usual restraints that apply to domestic law enforcement agencies, like the FBI.

That means the international organization is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Its staff and offices at the Department of Justice cannot be searched, and its files cannot be seized.

"All that did was give them the same authorities and immunities that any international organization that's based here in the U.S. has, nothing more, nothing less," Williams said.

INTERPOL Red Notice Remains

Homayoun believes the Iranian regime is manipulating INTERPOL to target its enemies in America and Europe.

"Isn't this an insult to the justice system, the legal system in the United States?" he asked. "Iran has been empowered here in the United States by INTERPOL."

Homayoun plans to challenge the INTERPOL Red Notice through legal means. He said the FBI has reassured him that he will be safe on U.S. soil.

For now, though, he remains on the organization's international list as a wanted terrorist.

Pentagon is running from the truth about Islam

The Pentagon has rescinded an invitation to Franklin Graham because of his comments about Islam. What did Graham say that was so horrible about Islam and offended Muslims so badly?(I find Islam extremely offensive) He "described Islam as evil. More recently, he has said he finds Islam offensive and wants Muslims to know that Jesus Christ died for their sins." When are Muslims NOT offended or upset about comments, cartoons, posters on the side panels of a bus, about our schools, places of employment, our government, you get the picture. To be a Muslim under the perversions of Islam is to render yourself into a state of being upset, pissed off and playing the victim all the time. No one excels at this game like Muslims or Islam. And the Pentagon? Not to hard to see and understand why all the facts from the Fort Hood massacre have not been released yet, why there has been a cover up. Graham told the truth about Islam and what he told the truth about Jesus dying for their sins. I would not be surprised for there to be covert pressure put on Franklin Graham to issue an apology to Muslims. I truly hope he does not cave in. After all, what he did was tell the truth. Here is what CAIR had to say about this: "Nihad Awad, national executive director of Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, said Graham's invitation would have sent "entirely the wrong message" at a time when troops are stationed in Muslim nations. "Promoting one's own religious beliefs is something to be defended and encouraged, but other faiths should not be attacked or misrepresented in the process," Awad said. CAIR and Awad  have no business commenting on this as they do what they are accusing Franklin of, all the time. Talk about calling the camel stupid! Islam always loses out in the long run to the truth. Islam is a lie. It is poisonous to those who love freedom and the truth.

Pentagon: No Graham for Prayer Day
His past description of Islam as ‘evil’ had offended Muslims

MSNBC WASHINGTON - Evangelist Franklin Graham's invitation to speak at a Pentagon prayer service has been rescinded because his comments about Islam were inappropriate, the Army said Thursday.

Graham, the son famed evangelist Billy Graham, in 2001 described Islam as evil. More recently, he has said he finds Islam offensive and wants Muslims to know that Jesus Christ died for their sins.

Army spokesman Col. Tom Collins said Graham's remarks were "not appropriate."

"We're an all-inclusive military," Collins said. "We honor all faiths. ... Our message to our service and civilian work force is about the need for diversity and appreciation of all faiths."

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation had raised the objection to Graham's appearance, citing his past remarks about Islam.

Collins said earlier this week that the invitation to attend the National Day of Prayer event at the Pentagon wasn't from the military but from the Colorado-based National Day of Prayer Task Force, which works with the Pentagon chaplain's office on the prayer event.

As co-honorary chair of the task force, Graham was expected to be the lead speaker at the May 6 Pentagon service. Country singer Ricky Skaggs was expected to perform.

Since Graham's invitation was rescinded, the task force has decided not to participate in the military prayer service, Collins said.

The decision suggests a growing sensitivity in recent years among senior Pentagon officials to the divide between the U.S. military and Muslims. Graham attended a Pentagon prayer service in 2003, despite objections by Muslim groups.

Graham said he regrets that the Army felt its decision was necessary. In a statement, Graham said he would continue to pray for the troops to "give them guidance, wisdom and protection as they serve this great country."

Nihad Awad, national executive director of Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, said Graham's invitation would have sent "entirely the wrong message" at a time when troops are stationed in Muslim nations.

"Promoting one's own religious beliefs is something to be defended and encouraged, but other faiths should not be attacked or misrepresented in the process," Awad said.

'Enough is enough'
Shirley Dobson, chairwoman of the prayer task force, said Wednesday that U.S. leaders have called for a day of prayer during times of crisis since 1775 but the tradition is under attack.

"Enough is enough," said Dobson, wife of conservative Christian leader James Dobson. "We at the National Day of Prayer Task Force ask the American people to defend the right to pray in the Pentagon."

She called on President Barack Obama to appeal a ruling by a federal judge in Wisconsin last week that the National Day of Prayer was unconstitutional because it amounts to a call for religious action. The judge did not bar any observances until all appeals are exhausted.

The Obama administration said Thursday it would appeal.

I am sure they will appeal. The Mullah Obamaham, the first Muslim President of the United
States in probably quite pleased by this outcome. After all, he is a Muslim.

Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation said Graham shouldn't have been invited in the first place.

"I want to say this is a victory, but in a way it's a Pyrrhic victory because it shows how far this got," Weinstein said. "We're not exactly doing cartwheels."

Weinstein said he hopes someone more "inclusive" will be invited to replace Graham.

How about the Islamist apologist, John Esposito or George Soros?

Collins said there was no word yet on who would attend.

New U.S. coin does not have 'In God We Trust" on it.

Here is some news on the U.S. coin that has come out. Omitted is "In God We Trust." I noticed this when I got one as change a couple of weeks ago.

Don't Accept New U.S. Coin
Alan Caruba

Warning Signs, This is a photo of a new U.S. coin. It lacks the words "In God We Trust" and, if enough Americans refuse to accept it, eventually the U.S. Mint will take it out of circulation.

You can thank the godless Obama administration for this one. One wonders how long it will be before he wants to put an image of Che Guevera on new quarters or fifty-cent pieces?

Like a lot of AMERICANS, I grow more weary and wary of Obama with every passing day.

Ahmadinejad Jumps On Another Opportunity To Ridicule Obama

Cross posted from Holger Awakens

Isn't it amazing the respect that Barack Hussein Obama has gained from all of the world's leaders since he embarked on his world-wide campaign to become the most liked, the most cool and the most muslim-friendly President in the history of the World? LOL

Well, today, Iran's midget-in-charge, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, took the opportunity to once again ridicule and embarass Obama in a showcased speech. From Breitbart, some of what Ahmadinejad said:

"American materialist politicians, whenever they are beaten by logic, immediately put their finger on the trigger like cowboys," he said.
"Mr. Obama, you are a newcomer (to politics). Wait until your sweat dries and get some experience. Be careful not to read just any paper put in front of you or repeat any statement recommended," Ahmadinejad said in the speech, aired live on state TV. "(American officials) bigger than you, more bullying than you, couldn't do a damn thing, let alone you."

I mean, seriously, look at that! He's not only ridiculing an American President, he's TAUNTING him! He's DARING Obama!

This shows just how weak-kneed Obama appears to these third rate goons around the globe. I mean, the Presidency of the United States of America has become a punching bag for world dictators who cannot even feed their own people. All of this when the majority of America bought into the fantasy that Obama would have the world laying flowers down at our shores, adoring us. Here in America we are used to our enemies making strong statements against us and our policies but to have impotent little jerk offs like Ahmadinejad get away with what has been over a year of constant shit storms is ridiculous.

Iran ridicules Obama's nuclear strategy



TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran's hard-line president on Wednesday ridiculed President Barack Obama's new nuclear strategy, which turns the U.S. focus away from the Cold War threats and instead aims to stop the spread of atomic weapons to rogue states or terrorists.
Obama on Tuesday announced the new strategy, including a vow not to use nuclear weapons against countries that do not have them. Iran, however, was a notable exception to that pledge, along with North Korea, because Washington accuses them of not cooperating with the international community on nonproliferation standards.

Concerns over Iran's nuclear program figure prominently in the new U.S. strategy. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the focus would now be on terror groups such as al-Qaida as well as North Korea's nuclear buildup and Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad derided Obama over the plan in a speech Wednesday to a crowd of thousands in the country's northwest.

"American materialist politicians, whenever they are beaten by logic, immediately put their finger on the trigger like cowboys," he said.

"Mr. Obama, you are a newcomer (to politics). Wait until your sweat dries and get some experience. Be careful not to read just any paper put in front of you or repeat any statement recommended," Ahmadinejad said in the speech, aired live on state TV. "(American officials) bigger than you, more bullying than you, couldn't do a damn thing, let alone you."

The United States and its allies accuse Tehran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons, a charge denied by Iran, which says its nuclear program is intended only to generate electricity.

Washington is heading a push for the United Nations to impose new sanction on Iran over its refusal to suspect uranium enrichment, a process that can produce either fuel for a reactor or the material for a warhead. Iran says it has a right to enrichment under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

Obama: If it does not move, tax it.

Cross posted from Totus:

Obama and his Chicago buddies are looking at yet another way to stick their greedy hands into your pockets. They know only too well that money means power and they are now eyeing another source of power--the Internet. The next target could be the Internet. A vast untapped source of revenue for a growing bureaucracy in Washington. Coming soon a nationwide tax on Internet goods and services and with it another step toward more government control of our daily lives. Under Barack and gang the Democrats are living up to their reparation of "tax and spend" liberals." What is most disturbing, however is that there seems to be no end to Obama's madness or his back door methods to impose his will on an increasingly resistant America.

OBAMA ADMINISTRATION MOVING TO TAX INTERNET
By Timothy H. Lee

The Obama Era has become a protracted, nightmarish Whack-A-Mole game of tax increases and bureaucratic self-enlargement. In sector after sector of American life, another scheme to expand government and wrench more earnings from Americans' pockets pops up.

Its next targeted sector? The Internet.

Take a look at the following introduction of a nationwide tax upon Internet goods and services, inserted within page 58 of the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) National Broadband Plan released this week:

Digital Goods and Services Taxation

RECOMMENDATION 4.20: The federal government should investigate establishing a national framework for digital goods and services taxation.

The National Broadband Plan is focused on increasing beneficial use of the Internet, including e-commerce and new innovative business models. The current patchwork of state and local laws and regulations relating to taxation of digital goods and services (such as ringtones, digital music, etc.) may hinder new investment and business models. Entrepreneurs and small businesses in particular may lack the resources to understand and comply with the various tax regimes.

Recognizing that state and local governments pursue varying approaches to raising tax revenues, a national framework for digital goods and services taxation would reduce uncertainty and remove one barrier to online entrepreneurship and investment.

Ponder that curious logic for a moment.

Americans already suffering from a recession prolonged by Mr. Obama's policies are being asked to concur that raising - yes, raising - taxes on a nationwide basis will somehow "reduce uncertainty and remove one barrier to online entrepreneurship and investment."

Consider also that section's observation that "entrepreneurs and small businesses in particular may lack the resources to understand and comply with the various tax regimes."As if federal tax laws are straightforward? Anyone who has asked two separate tax attorneys to ascertain a provision from the Internal Revenue Code and received seven different indecipherable answers can immediately recognize the absurdity of suggesting that federalizing Internet taxes would somehow "reduce uncertainty" and facilitate understanding and compliance.

In just fourteen months, political discourse during Mr. Obama's tenure has pioneered new depths in Orwellian Newspeak - think of "jobs saved or created," for instance - but this is remarkable even by those standards.

The FCC's National Broadband Plan contains other tax-increase proposals, unfortunately. It states that we "should broaden the universal service contribution base," which refers to the tax upon telecommunications service providers created by the FCC in 1997.

Just what the Internet sector needs - a new tax upon Internet-service providers whose yearly investments in network expansion are necessary to keep pace with exploding Internet data traffic. Full article at Washington Times

Obama is our first third world president

Obama is truly a world class, no class, third world president. The treatment of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was disgusting and a major embarassament of the United States in front of the entire world. The mullah in the White House is the loser and has made all of us in the United States losers from his wretched excuse he calls hope, change and leadership. Even when past administrations have had differences with our allies they were never treated as badly as Netanyahu was. China Confidential has an excellent article on the third world POTUS, the one foolishly and blindly elected into the highest office in the land.

---

America's First Third World President

Understand, as Barack Obama likes to say, that he is America's first Third World President. This explains his antipathy toward Israel, which he clearly regards as an outpost of Western colonialism; appeasement (engagement) of Islamist Iran and Islamism in general; downgrading of the war on terror in order to avoid antagonizing the so-called Muslim world--to which he has bowed and apologized--and outreach to such despots as Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez and Cuba's Castro brothers.

If Obama is a socialist, as many conservatives suspect, he is a Third World-style socialist, someone who is focused on nationalizing the economy, distributing wealth, creating, vast, controlling bureaucracies, and limiting freedom--in contrast with traditional, Western European democratic socialists, for whom socialism was synonymous with a quest for freedom and genuine humanism.

As a rising political star, Obama came under the influence of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, an advocate of black liberation theology, which blends black nationalism and religious traditions, Marxism, socialism, and Third Worldism with Christian liberation theology--and hatred of the U.S. political and economic system, which is viewed as being inherently imperialist, racist, and oppressive. As President, Obama is seemingly sympathetic to a melding of Marxist/socialist and Islamist ideals, while seeking a diminishing of U.S. military power around the world--viewing it as a root cause of anti-Americanism and terrorism--and a distancing of the United States from Israel in the context of a realignment of Washington with the Third World. U.S. support for Israel is perhaps the primary root cause of anti-Americanism in the Middle East and throughout "the Muslim world," according to Obama and his most senior foreign policy advisors.

The whole concept of the West--the fact that Israel's current prime minister is the author of a book titled Terrorism: How the West Can Win--offends Obama, whose thinking on the subject was influenced by the late, controversial Columbia University professor, proponent of postcolonial theory, and PLO/terrorism apologist, Edward Said, with whom Obama dined on at least one occasion. (See picture below.) No snubbing of Said! On the contrary; he may have been another Obama mentor.

Also offensive to Obama: any emphasis on America's Judeo-Christian heritage. Hence, his Big Lie about Islam shaping the country since its inception and wildly inaccurate estimates of the U.S. Muslim population, which he has inflated for political purposes.

There is more. Mary Ellen Synon's essay is a must-read:


Obama is the first US president who was raised without cultural or emotional or intellectual ties to either Britain or Europe. The British and the Europeans have been so enchanted with 'America's first black president' that they haven't been able to see what he really is: America's first Third World president.

If you doubt it, remember the kick in the teeth he gave Britain over the Falklands just a few weeks ago. Obama had his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, fly to Buenos Aires to give American support to President Kirchner's call for international negotiations over the Falklands. Amazing. What was more amazing is that all we've heard out of Number 10 and the Foreign Office since then is that it doesn't mean anything.

Oh, yes it does, and Washington insiders know it does.

I've just been in touch with Dr James Lucier, a former US Senate Foreign Relations Committee Staff Director, about all this. He tells me: 'Culturally, Obama detests Great Britain. He sent the bust of Churchill back without a fig leaf of an excuse. He insulted the Queen and the Prime Minister, giving them ridiculous gifts.' At one point, 'he refused to meet the prime minister.'

Here is what is happening, though the British Government seems oblivious of it. The Obama administration is ready to dump the Old World in pursuit of the One World.

Britain is being dumped. The special relationship, whatever is left of it, is over. Britain losing control of the Falklands to Argentina would just be collateral damage.

But France is being dumped, too. Obama's ostentatious refusal to have dinner with President Sarkozy during his visit to France last year was no accident. Rather than meet the French president, Obama went off to a restaurant with his wife Michelle.

Germany is being dumped. Obama has been little more than dismissive of Chancellor Merkel. Russia in turn will be waved aside.

Most spectacularly of all, the European Union has now been comprehensively dumped. The American president has refused to attend what is supposed to be a US-EU Madrid summit in May.

What we have shaping up, but what the British Government doesn't yet grasp, is that Obama has a conscious policy of down-grading America's relationship with, first, Britain and then with the rest of Europe.

He believes that the US -- yes, his own country -- and Britain, and the leading European countries, too, for that matter, are imperial powers who ruthlessly exploited the Third World for their own profit.

And Obama is America's first Third World president.

Forget Obama's Chicago black cadence. It is a fake. He copied from the kind of black preachers that were unknown to him until he was a grown man and inventing his political image.

What the Obama administration has near-wiped from the president's personal history is that his only childhood links with America were as a schoolboy in a fashionable private school in Asia-dominated Hawaii, where he was raised by his white, bank executive grandmother.

Chicago is not Obama's homeland. It never was his formative influence. The president's world view is more aligned with that of Indonesia.

Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to America

Got your attention, maybe? If you are here please read this article from the Aspen Times by Gary Hubbell. Gary calls himself the "The Redneck Tree Hugger" and who cannot like that? Al Gore and such ilk perhaps but here at Patriot's Corner, those pesky leftist tree huggers and earth muffins always get a 'special' welcome from me. I cannot recall how I found this as I was off down some rabbit hole chasing another news item and came across this. I am not ready to thank the mullah obamaham for anything yet but after reading this yes, there will be hope and change. It won't be what the demosocialistacrats wanted, and this is fine with me.

Barack Obama, He is the best thing ever.
Gary Hubbell

Aspen Times, Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to America in the last 100 years. Truly, he is the savior of America's future. He is the best thing ever.

Despite the fact that he has some of the lowest approval ratings among recent presidents, history will see Barack Obama as the source of America's resurrection. Barack Obama has plunged the country into levels of debt that we could not have previously imagined; his efforts to nationalize health care have been met with fierce resistance nationwide; TARP bailouts and stimulus spending have shown little positive effect on the national economy; unemployment is unacceptably high and looks to remain that way for most of a decade; legacy entitlement programs have ballooned to unsustainable levels, and there is a seething anger in the populace.

That's why Barack Obama is such a good thing for America.

Obama is the symbol of a creeping liberalism that has infected our society like a cancer for the last 100 years. Just as Hitler is the face of fascism, Obama will go down in history as the face of unchecked liberalism. The cancer metastasized to the point where it could no longer be ignored.

Average Americans who have quietly gone about their lives, earning a paycheck, contributing to their favorite charities, going to high school football games on Friday night, spending their weekends at the beach or on hunting trips — they've gotten off the fence. They've woken up. There is a level of political activism in this country that we haven't seen since the American Revolution, and Barack Obama has been the catalyst that has sparked a restructuring of the American political and social consciousness.

Think of the crap we've slowly learned to tolerate over the past 50 years as liberalism sought to re-structure the America that was the symbol of freedom and liberty to all the people of the world. Immigration laws were ignored on the basis of compassion. Welfare policies encouraged irresponsibility, the fracturing of families, and a cycle of generations of dependency. Debt was regarded as a tonic to lubricate the economy. Our children left school having been taught that they are exceptional and special, while great numbers of them cannot perform basic functions of mathematics and literacy. Legislators decided that people could not be trusted to defend their own homes, and stripped citizens of their rights to own firearms. Productive members of society have been penalized with a heavy burden of taxes in order to support legions of do-nothings who loll around, reveling in their addictions, obesity, indolence, ignorance and “disabilities.” Criminals have been arrested and re-arrested, coddled and set free to pillage the citizenry yet again. Lawyers routinely extort fortunes from doctors, contractors and business people with dubious torts.

We slowly learned to tolerate these outrages, shaking our heads in disbelief, and we went on with our lives.

But Barack Obama has ripped the lid off a seething cauldron of dissatisfaction and unrest.

In the time of Barack Obama, Black Panther members stand outside polling places in black commando uniforms, slapping truncheons into their palms. ACORN — a taxpayer-supported organization — is given a role in taking the census, even after its members were caught on tape offering advice to set up child prostitution rings. A former Communist is given a paid government position in the White House as an advisor to the president. Auto companies are taken over by the government, and the auto workers' union — whose contracts are completely insupportable in any economic sense — is rewarded with a stake in the company. Government bails out Wall Street investment bankers and insurance companies, who pay their executives outrageous bonuses as thanks for the public support. Terrorists are read their Miranda rights and given free lawyers. And, despite overwhelming public disapproval, Barack Obama has pushed forward with a health care plan that would re-structure one-sixth of the American economy.

I don't know about you, but the other day I was at the courthouse doing some business, and I stepped into the court clerk's office and changed my voter affiliation from “Independent” to “Republican.” I am under no illusion that the Republican party is perfect, but at least they're starting to awaken to the fact that we cannot sustain massive levels of debt; we cannot afford to hand out billions of dollars in corporate subsidies; we have to somehow trim our massive entitlement programs; we can no longer be the world's policeman and dole out billions in aid to countries whose citizens seek to harm us.

Literally millions of Americans have had enough. They're organizing, they're studying the Constitution and the Federalist Papers, they're reading history and case law, they're showing up at rallies and meetings, and a slew of conservative candidates are throwing their hats into the ring. Is there a revolution brewing? Yes, in the sense that there is a keen awareness that our priorities and sensibilities must be radically re-structured. Will it be a violent revolution? No. It will be done through the interpretation of the original document that has guided us for 220 years — the Constitution. Just as the pendulum swung to embrace political correctness and liberalism, there will be a backlash, a complete repudiation of a hundred years of nonsense. A hundred years from now, history will perceive the year 2010 as the time when America got back on the right track. And for that, we can thank Barack Hussein Obama.

The TSA, Muslims, CAIR and a fool in the White House

Some of you may have already read this next article. If not, please make sure you follow the link to read it completely. It is a true story about a group of people who refuse to play by the rules of the country they live in and many immigrated to by choice. A story about a group of ideologists who think they are following the world' greatest religion when most have been brainwashed into submission. They refuse to assimilate, join American society and are constantly working to undermine, subvert, overthrow the Constitution, our government and in its place install a caliphate ruled by shariah law. The group, Muslims, the ideology is Islam and how all of us will now be searched, scanned, poked, prodded and humiliated, except the Muslims. So, do you think this is all right, is it acceptable that they will once again get special treatment because they are Muslims? This is another example of how Islam works under the surface to skirt around our laws. It is another form of jihad. Call it legal or stealth jihad, jihad is jihad. The problem with this is that it can and will cost American lives lost at some point in the future. Make no mistake on this last point. Lives will be lost because of our favoring and cow towing to Muslims through the policies of the TSA and how Muslims are now to be handled. This policy is wrong, the TSA, our government should be ashamed once again for bowing to Islam and Muslims. Then what can we expect when we have an Islamist sympathizer, a closet Muslim as POTUS who beckons to the Muslim world like they are our true and good friends. Well, they are not. Islam has sworn to destroy us and the rest of the world in its march to global domination. I predict Islam will be defeated. Perhaps not in my lifetime but it will be defeated. Millions will die and the land will be washed in the blood of the innocent who died under the sword from Islam. Do you want your daughter to have to wear and Hajib and Buqua? Our sons, required to have a beard and beat their women as dictated by shariah law? That is why this policy is wrong. As wrong and perverted as is Islam.

There is no peace with Islam and with Islam there will never be peace

A ‘Profile In Courage’ the TSA Is Not.
by Susan Dale

Human Events, After the thankfully unsuccessful terrorist activities of the underwear bomber in an airplane over Detroit last Christmas Day, discussion resumed regarding the use of the full body scanner at American international airports. This is a highly sensitive machine that, when used for security purposes, displays the body in its full naked glory.

It was said, after the actions on December 25th by Mr. Mutallab, that this process would have been the only way to have detected the particular technique of terror the young Nigerian was attempting to import into America. Then along comes the perpetually zany Council of American-Islamic Relations. In its infinite wisdom, this group disclosed their intention to sue the United States of America to prevent the aforementioned body scanner from being used on Muslim men and women.

For religious reasons, don’t you know?

In the parallel universe where reside the left and their radical Islamic friends, it makes perfect sense that the only machine that can detect a certain, and most destructive kind of explosive, that has been used exclusively by Islamic terrorists since 2001, is now able to be used with any traveler using American international airports, except, of course, Muslim persons. These Muslim individuals are, as every sane person acknowledges, the ACTUAL REASON we have to put every air traveler through the excruciating security measures that are now in place.

To prevent the further terrorist actions of Muslim terrorists is, in fact, the whole point of the exercise.

The TSA, when confronted by CAIR in this regard, immediately capitulated, thus giving in in the face of yet another Islamic threat. Simultaneously, the TSA agreed to instruct its security staff, in enforcing the same tortuous security measures for everyone but Muslims, to ‘pat down’ Muslim men and women, with the proviso, of course, that only same gender ‘pat downs’ would be permitted for our Muslim brethren.

So, to be sure you understand, this is the deal. Continue reading

Hat tip: China Confidential

Obama and Democrats taking heat for slamming Israel about settlement building in the Israeli capital.

As Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that the building will go on(Excellent!), Republicans went on the attack about how the Obama administration is so willing to throw Israel over a cliff to curry favor with the Islamic world. Israel has nothing to apologize for and it Obama and his racist administration that really needs to apologize now. Democrats geting worried? Good and I hope this erodes their base even faster and deeper. I suggest Obama take his family and all his anti-semtic friends and move to to Gazastan, they would fit right in.

GOP Leads Backlash against Obama; Democrats Uneasy
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

Israel National News, Republican Party leaders attacked the Obama administration Monday with unusually harsh language, charging it with an "irresponsible” position against an ally. "In an effort to ingratiate our country with the Arab world, this administration has shown a troubling eagerness to undercut our allies and friends,” said the GOP’s only Jewish Republican Congressman, Eric Cantor of Virginia.

He went so far as to say that the dispute "jeopardizes America's national security."

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has taken the heat for the current crisis that erupted when a government minister announced the approval of the fourth of seven stages for building new homes for Jews in the Ramat Shlomo neighborhood. Totally Jewish, it is located in a part of Jerusalem that was restored to Israel in the Six Day War when Jerusalem was reunited, but not recognized as such by the United States.

The initial media and political blows were delivered to Prime Minister Netanyahu, who apologized to visiting U.S. Vice President Joe Biden for the timing of the announcement with his arrival that was aimed at promoting American-mediated talks between the Palestinian Authority and Israel for a new PA state.

However, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton followed up with an unprecedented and scathing public attack on the Prime Minister. Republican legislators did not miss a beat as most political commentators stated that Clinton ”over-reacted.”

Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the leading Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, charged that the Obama government’s condemnations of "an indispensable ally and friend of the United States…undermine both our allies and the peace process, while encouraging the enemies of America and Israel alike.

She noted that President Obama has taken "softer approaches" towards the Palestinian Authority, Syria and Iran.

Senator Sam Brownback’s office stated, “It' is hard to see how spending a weekend condemning Israel for a zoning decision in its capital city amounts to a positive step towards peace."

Democrats also are uneasy over the crisis, which comes only eight months before Congressional elections. Polls have shown that President Obama’s political stature is sinking.

Laura Rozen of Politico.com wrote on Monday that Democratic legislators are looking for some kind of political leadership from U.S. Middle East envoy George Mitchell, who is a former senator and is President Obama’s ”make-or-break” representative in the PA-Israeli struggle.


She quoted a senior Democratic foreign policy leader as saying that the failure of top Obama officials and Mitchell to make contact with Congressman is the “the same exact mistake of the first two Clinton years with majorities in both Houses. You'd think they would have learned the lesson of 'never take your allies for granted' at least after this year."

Veteran Middle East peace negotiator Aaron David Miller told Rozen, "The tree they're up on this one is very tall. Paradoxically, it may be up to Bibi [Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu] to help them climb down."
