Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue: Two years into the obama nightmare

From China Confidential


Snapshot of the first two years obama nightmare
By Confidential Reporter


And so it goes.


Two years into the odious Obama Presidency, it is clear that America's first Muslim-born and most left-wing-ever President has effectively served, ironically, as an agent of reactionary organized Islam and the clerical fascist creed with which the religion has become practically synonymous since 9/11--a global plague commonly referred to as Islamism, or radical Islam, or right-wing political Islam.


Americans who voted for Barack Hussein Obama naively assumed that they were electing an appealing, multicultural/mixed race statesman who identified and was seen as an African-American--a prominent member of the black community capable of unifying and inspiring the nation. In fact, the voters who chose the Democrat Obama over his Republican opponent, John McCain, elected a cunning, Third World-American demagogue--a master of political deception and disinformation who is enthralled by the Islamist tidal wave that threatens to overwhelm and destroy democracies everywhere.


Consider some of Obama's so-called accomplishments (apart from the phony stimulus and the incredibly unpopular and seemingly unconstitutional health bill):


He has appeased and attempted to actually align with nuclear-arming, Islamist Iran.


He has intervened in the burqa wars--on the side of the barabaric burqa backers.


He has elevated a religion, Islam, which he was born into and practiced and studied as a child in Indonesia, to the level of a superpower by addressing and apologizing to "the Muslim world"--an inherently Islamist concept.


He has downgraded the war on Islamist terror to the level of a law enforcement challenge, complete with civilian court trials for captured enemy, alien combatants and a bureaucratic ban on appropriate, logical language, such as Islam, Islamism, radical Islam, etc.


He has obsessively squeezed and pressured Israel, a staunch American ally, and the only democracy in the backward Middle East, to withdraw to clearly indefensible borders--the infamous "Auschwitz lines," in the words of the late, great, and distinctly dovish Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban--in order to make possible the creation of an inherently irredentist Palestinian Arab state almost certain to be ruled by Iran's Islamist proxy, Hamas (barring regime change in Iran, which the Obama administration opposes).


He has warned Israel against attacking Iran's nuclear/missile sites.

He has embraced Turkey's crypto-Islamist government by overtly supporting its bid for European Union membership (even though the U.S. is not an EU member and has no standing in the issue) and tacitly supported Turkey's tilt towards Iran and away from Turkey's traditional ally, Israel.


He has emboldened and encouraged Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood--the organization that spawned Al Qaeda and associated Hitlerian groups.

He has covertly supported Jordan's Islamist opposition--a branch of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood--in order to pressure Jordan's King Abdullah to visit Iran and to refrain from criticizing the Islamist regime--a move meant to further frighten Israel.


He has physically bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia, a country with no human or civil rights.


He has spoken out in support of the Ground Zero mosque project.

He has been embarrassingly slow to condemn Muslim terrorists in Russia, and has refused to speak out in support of persecuted and oppressed minorities in Muslim lands and Western victims of Islamist terror, including America's own Molly Norris.


He has continued America's stupid, cynical, pre-9/11 policy of attempting to contain China's rise by covertly supporting Islamist separatists seeking to dismember the country.

We can look for more of the same or even worse to come from this traitor, liar and appeaser that we  
we are stuck with as potus.



Tyranny: A simple definition

This is from the book:
From "Leadership and Liberty" by Chris Brady and Orrin Woodward
    

This came from a friend who would like to remain anonymous. As always, I will honor that request.

CAIR's hate speech extravaganza

This is from The Religion Of Peace. If you have never dropped in to TROP site I urge you to do so at your earliest opportunity. This is by far one of the best sites one can access for information on the latest atrocities committed by muslims(for the most part) under the banner of islam.


A TROP Original, Hate Speech?
(Not According to CAIR)

“Muslims are the vilest of animals…”

“Show mercy to one another, but be ruthless to Muslims”

“How perverse are Muslims!”

“Strike off the heads of Muslims, as well as their fingertips”

“Fight those Muslims who are near to you”

“Muslim mischief makers should be murdered or crucified”

Hate speech? Incitement to violence? Sounds like it to us, but a knowledgeable Muslim would have to disagree.

Why would Muslims not consider this to be hate speech? How is it that we can post these quotes with full certainty that CAIR won't be contacting the media (or Congress) with wild-eyed accusations of Islamophobia?

Well, for one thing, we don’t actually agree with any of these disgusting statements, of course. No one should be harassed for their religious beliefs (or lack thereof) much less physically assaulted.

But the real reason is that we don't fear CAIR is because Muslims themselves honestly believe these quotes to be the literal, eternal word of Allah. In fact, CAIR is promoting this hate speech on their own website! It is actively propagating the very literature that contains these comments, even while sanctimoniously claiming that it is working against hate and violence.

But… isn't CAIR a Muslim organization? What’s the catch?

Well, if you haven’t guessed it already, these are quotes from the Qur’an in which we've replaced the word ‘Christian’, ‘Jew’ or ‘unbeliever’ with the word ‘Muslim.’

Here is how they actually appear in the literature that groups like CAIR are pushing:

Sura (8:55) - Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who disbelieve

Sura (48:29) - Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard (ruthless) against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves

Sura (9:30) - And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah... Allah (Himself) fights against them. How perverse are they!

Sura (8:12) - I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them

Sura (9:123) - O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness

Sura (5:33) - The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement

These verses come from five different places in the Qur’an. There are dozens of others scattered throughout that advocate violence in open-ended fashion. There are hundreds more that speak of hatred and hell toward Christians, Jews, and other non-believers. (Is it any wonder that the Muslim world is split largely between those who tacitly support Islamic terror and those who do nothing about it?)

Very few of these verses are bound by historical context within the text of the Qur’an, and any appeal to external sources for mitigation would apply also to the tiny handful of verses that are used (disingenuously) to promote Islam as being loving and tolerant. More importantly, there is a far greater number of violent verses than ones of tolerance, and most were “revealed” later, thus abrogating the handful of earlier ones.

And yet, this is the book that CAIR wants people to read! This is what CAIR considers to be holy text, even to the extent that an exact replica of the Qur’an (grammatical errors and all) is said to be on a table in heaven guarded by angels.

So, the next time you hear CAIR smugly accusing its critics of “hate speech,” just remember what the organization's agenda really is:

They don’t mind hate speech directed at non-Muslims. In fact, they promote it.

They don't mind religious minorities being denied rights that Muslims have in Muslims societies. In fact, they plug fatwas and religious literature that encourage discrimination.

They don't even mind the vast amount of terrorism in the name of Islam. In fact, they refuse to acknowledge or denounce more than 99% of it, including the on-going genocide against black Africans by Arabs.

The language of civil rights and tolerance is merely a tool of convenience for prominent Muslim organizations in the West to advance the cause of Islamic supremacy. A true civil rights organization, however, is concerned about rights for all people, regardless of race or religion, and this is something that Islam has never been able to produce... and probably never will...

At least according to our Qur’an!

A Tiny Minority: From Gates Of Vienna

From Gates of Vienna with commentary by Zenster.


Perhaps the most enraging thing about this "Tiny Minority" meme is that it deals with around ONE QUARTER of our world's population.

Suddenly, even small fractions of that amount translate into some really big numbers. Out of approximately 1.5 Billion Muslims:

1% = 15 MILLION

10% = 150 MILLION

20% = 300 MILLION

30% = 450 MILLION

Now, reflect that, when polled, some 30% of British Muslim youth deemed violence to be permissible in spreading Islam.

Go ahead, pick whatever tiny number you like to represent your "Tiny Minority".

What will it be, just a few DOZENS of MILLIONS (percents), or just a few HUNDREDS of MILLIONS?

There are untold MILLIONS of Muslims around the world that would like nothing better than to have a sword at our necks.

Isn't about time that we begin to put a gun to their head and tell them to piss off?

Without wishing to be too obscure, the West needs to reach out and touch several dozen million Muslims in a variety of locations.

There exist only a very few ways of doing that and most of them are rather nasty.

One of the few scenarios that involves an exceptionally limited degree of violence is taking the shrines at Mecca and Medina as physical hostages to be held for a few decades during which there cannot be any low level terrorist attacks or the haj will be canceled.

Should some jihadist loons get it into their last lonely synapses to unleash a chemical weapons attack on the West, POOF! ... Medina is thoroughly contaminated in an exact same manner.

Detonate a dirty bomb? POOF! First Medina and then Mecca are irradiated in the same way.

Pop off a nuclear weapon, POOF! First Medina and then, if there is any repetition, Mecca are slagged into 24 hour glow-in-dark parking lots.

As one wag said, after a while Muslims would feel pretty silly bowing five times a day to a plain of hot, smoking glass.

In the meanwhile, having each shrine encircled with automated high-rate machine gun emplacements and anti-personnel minefields would serve as the ultimate flypaper for enraged jihadis everywhere.

Think how much bargaining power a Western general would obtain by posing next to the Kahbah with a bucket of liquid pig fat.

Lack of imagination seems to be one of the biggest problems for Western militaries.

That needs to change and damn soon.

All Americans must die: Threat from muslims from somalia

So once again it seems like our enemies, muslims that we let immigrate to the United States from Somalia, think it perfectly fine to write the following in blood on the walls of the Tyson Chicken plant in Shelbyville, Tennessee.

"All Americans must die."

Tyson has repeatedly caved in to pressure tactics from the muslims who work at this particular plant.

I have a few questions about this situation. First of all, why are they continually hiring these people? Local reports have repeatedly mentioned that there are plenty of local citizens who would like to have these jobs. Secondly, what is Tyson going to do about this? Workers at this plant are scared and are in fear when they go to work. Why are we still letting these people, especially those from somalia immigrate to the United States? The percentage of muslims from somalia that have caused problems all across the country is much higher, I would guess than immigrants from other countries. Time to ban all muslim immigration. In fact, it is time to close our borders for at least ten years until we can get a handle on our immigration problem.





Tenn: ‘All Americans Must Die’ Written in Meat Plant with Somali Muslim Strife

“We even know where they plot, at this point…They are the butcher-shops, to begin with.” ~ Oriana Fallaci, The Rage and the Pride

Ok, strife probably isn’t the right description. Stealth jihad perhaps? The trend of trouble following Somali Muslims isn’t just a foreign problem. It’s an American problem too. via ‘All Americans Must Die’ Written On Plant Wall – WSMV Nashville.

SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. — The Shelbyville chief of police and a former Tyson employee confirmed that threatening messages surfaced this week, leading to extra security at the plant.

“A couple days ago, they had a terrorist threat that was written on the bathroom walls that said ‘all Americans must die,’” said a woman, who said she wanted to remain anonymous to protect her relative, who works inside the plant.

She said that she didn’t see the writing herself but is aware of what’s going on from others.

“One day last week, someone set the women’s bathroom on fire, and they finally put a security guard at the bathroom door,” the woman said.

She said workers are scared.

“Some of them are afraid. They’ve been talking about it and worried about it and wondering what Tyson is going to do about it,” she said.

“We have not been asked to come down to Tyson to make any kind of official report,” said Chief Austin Swing.

But Swing said the department has been asked to provide an armed, off-duty officer to patrol inside the plant through the holidays. Tyson didn’t explain the reason why.

“I guess I’m assuming now, but he’s just there for some type of security reason or to maybe to put people at ease who work there,” said Swing.

He said he believes Tyson has already removed the graffiti and is conducting its own investigation into who’s responsible.

“They’ve doubled up the guards in the guard shack outside,” the anonymous woman said.

Some at the plant are concerned.

“They’ve complained for years, as to why these people are being hired in our food department when we are worried about our safety as Americans, you know, and that’s something we all need to think about,” she said.

Tyson said in a statement “the security of our facilities is important to our company.”

The FBI did not returned Channel 4′s request of whether it’s involved.

Extra security for Americans, in America? No FBI investigation? No clamoring from Holder or Obama?


…in addition to the observance of the Muslim holiday, “two prayer rooms have been created to allow Muslim workers to pray twice a day and return to work without leaving the plant.”

“In addition to regular, non-paid breaks, all Team Members are allotted a seven-minute paid break,” the Tyson spokesman said. “Some Team Members choose to pray during this time.”


“They’ve had an impact here. Unfortunately, it’s not been a good impact…”

Yes, that is very true. muslims seldom a positive impact no matter where they
end up. It is quite the contrary.

Five pillars of liberal thought

tolkein revisited

I have been reading the Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) by Robert Spencer. Whilst in the middle of reading the book my wife and I watched the recent Lord of the Rings movie, "The Two Towers." Being a Tolkein affecionado I can tell you of the multiple plot deviations the movie took from the book. But that is not the point of this post. what I was left with at the end of watching the Two Towers was an understanding of how Islam and its adherents really are. In Tolkein's story they are the Orcs. Sauron is the prohet/servant of Morgoth (read the Silmirillion) who enriches himself by going to even greater lengths of cruelty than his 'god' and Saruman is a deluded opportunist (Amenijihad, maybe?) who goes along for the ride in destroying mankind in a hope for a share of the profits. Frodo? He is the small and insignificant person in all of us who will do what it takes knowing it may cost him his life. he is not perfect, only steadfast against the evil that wishes to subjugate the whole of middle-earth.
By the way, did I say I was PC? I don't think I did.

Vice and Virtue II - Loyalty

In the first part of the "Vice and Virtue" series, I advocated the value of responsibility, which, in my view, forms the very basis of a healthy, civilized society.

But even when people act responsibly, they are not in a vacuum. Our loyalties, or lack-thereof, shape and define who we are. Is a woman a mother who fiercely defends her infants, or sees them as an unwanted burden? Is a man willing to put his money, name, or life on the line for a friend?
And for an ideal?

Loyalty can be explained in words: a committed emotional attachment that signifies devotion and allegiance.
But it is an emotion, and so must be felt, not simply understood. For this, I'd like you, the reader, to try and imagine who, or what, you would never turn your back to, even if offered all the money in the world.

Decades of smearing campaigns by leftist un-education have eroded loyalty as a 'foolish' behavior. Children are suggested that they should always put themselves first in any relationship. As these children grow-up (but do not mature), they begin to pay for this attitude: first when their personal relationships falter, and later when their own children turn on them.
Putting yourself first only means that, in the long-run, everyone else would put you last.

And then we read those idiotic news titles about celebrities bragging how happy they are to be alone.
Allow me to snicker in contempt. A small cup may fill fast, but a pathetic lie only makes a person more pathetic.

Then there is the hyper-sensitive idea of loyalty to a nation, which has become the equivalent of Fascism. While it's true that Fascist states demanded obedience from their populations, so did the nations that fought against them. The United States, and the British commonwealth did not ask people nicely whether they were interested in stopping Hitler, and then go have a cup of tea with one of his secretaries - they trained them to fight.
However, loyalty is not mere obedience. It cannot be commanded through fear, and requires a willing participation. It also has to be preserved through reciprocal actions, or what we get is exploitation.

So ask what your country can do for you, and what you can do for your country. That's the only correct rule.

A country is not the government. It is not the bureaucracy, and the institutions. A nation is comprised of "the people", and their values. This is where one's loyalty should lie with. That is the difference between Democracy, and the obedience of Fascism.

Being loyal does not mean to mindlessly agree and accept everything a friend, spouse, boss, troops, or country do, but rather to stand by their side, without compromising your own beliefs. For example, the Tea Party, while critical of the American government, is still loyal to the United States. Code Pink, on the other hand, is not.

Another person who doesn't have her loyalties sorted out is Anat Kam, an ex-IDF soldier who, while on duty, has leaked numerous secret documents to circles within the leftist media, under the guise of 'moral outrage'.
By breaching the trust of her superiors, and handing over sensitive information to elements hostile to the state, this woman has put her own needs and desires above those of the Israeli people. Therefore, as much as Anat's clique would like to paint her as some ideological hero, she is nothing but a common traitor.

In contrast, think about the drafted men, who walked towards the horrors of battle in WWII, or the Civil War, and did not break rank. They knew that upon their actions, their loyalty, lay the future of their country and home.
During the American War of Independence, when the British came for Thomas Jefferson at his home in Monticello, Robert Hemings and family - his black slaves - refused to cooperate, even under threat of bayonets.

So, when we compare these behaviors, we should ask ourselves which face should our society have, and who do we want our neighbors to be. Should we cry 'every man to himself', until every single principle is compromised for personal gain, and predators devour us whole.
Or do we want to be a part of something bigger.

So let us preach loyalty, in favor of creating long-lasting bonds: between husband and wife, parents and children, employer and employee, friends, siblings, and whole communities.
Because to have true freedom, we first need to have freedom from betrayal.

A US-born Muslim from Staten Island, New York, has just been indicted for lying to the FBI about his true intentions to join the US military and then start killing US soldiers. 21-year-old Abdel Hameed Shehadeh faces three terrorism-related charges that involve his plan to join the US military only so he could fight against US soldiers. According to the complaint, Shehadeh plotted to deploy with the US military to Iraq, but once there to desert the military and then fight alongside Islamic terrorists against the US. Shehadeh is also an operator of multiple, radical and violent Jihadist websites that promote terrorism against the west.

The indictments from a federal grand jury only came down late yesterday, and they relate mostly to Shehadeh’s lying about his terrorist motives.
Nonetheless, this is yet another case of a US-born Muslim—who you think should be…you know…assimilated and all that—rejecting his American nationality and choosing instead violent, Jihadist terrorism. The US Islamic community is always said to be better assimilated than the Islamic communities in other countries, and this is certainly true in that you don’t see many, for instance, of the kinds of violent Muslim protests in the US.

However, even the US Muslim community has its share of problems as not only Shehadeh’s arrest and indictment proves, but as the many, previous cases of American-born Muslims also prove. Just last month, there was the Oregon Christmas tree bomber, whom libertarians keep defending as being "set up" or "entrapped" into his terrorism inclination. Yeah, sure. Then, before that, there was the case of the Times Square Bomber, and while he wasn’t a US-born Muslim, he lived in the US for more than 12 years, more than enough time to assimilate. The fact that the US Muslim community is spawning these terrorists shows that they have problems, too.

A recent poll from only three years ago actually showed that up to 25% of young, US Muslims support suicide attacks in the "defense" of Islam. The same poll did find that about 80% of the US Muslim population is assimilated, but if even 20% to 25% of US Muslims are not, then that’s still a lot of Muslims within the US who may be a possible terrorist risk. Certainly, the arrest and the just-released charges against the Staten Island terrorist, Shehadeh, surely confirm that clear and present danger.

This Shehadeh terrorist grew up in New York, a very liberal and blue state that is a melting pot, which means that he should have been exposed to enough cultures and different backgrounds to moderate him. It’s not like he was living in a British slum or all-Islamic neighborhood where chances of him being radicalized are very high—yet this guy still became a terrorist. I think that simply shows that being a Muslim increases your chances of becoming a terrorist by…oh…let’s say a huge amount.

What’s equally disturbing is this Shehadeh fellow could only get eight years—eight years!!—if convicted! Let’s say he does his time and is let out with good behavior—after being radicalized in a federal prison some more because Islam is popular there—after a much shorter time. Then what? He goes back to terrorism, and then Americans have to die because his sentence was so short?!
