Spanish-language apologists in denial refuse to admit that Latinos, including millions of illegal aliens who should not even be here, refuse to assimilate into American culture by learning and speaking English.
The lie to those denials was exposed in abundance by two recent events, one in California the other in Nevada.
The first involved a soccer match between the U.S. and Mexican teams in Los Angeles. Under normal, common-sense circumstances, the U.S. athletes would be the “home” team since the match was in fact in the U.S.
WRONG!
As reported at the reference, the American team was treated as if it were a hostile “visiting” team:
It was imperfectly odd. It was strangely unsettling. It was uniquely American.
On a balmy early Saturday summer evening, the U.S soccer team played for a prestigious championship in a U.S. stadium ... and was smothered in boos.
Its fans were vastly outnumbered. Its goalkeeper was bathed in a chanted obscenity. Even its national anthem was filled with the blowing of air horns and bouncing of beach balls.
Most of these hostile visitors didn't live in another country. Most, in fact, were not visitors at all, many of them being U.S. residents whose lives are here but whose sporting souls remain elsewhere.
Welcome to another unveiling of that social portrait known as a U.S.-Mexico soccer match, streaked as always in deep colors of red, white, blue, green ... and gray.
To add insult to injury, the post-match ceremony was conducted in Spanish, causing U.S. Goalkeeper Tim Howard to remark, “I think it was a [expletive] disgrace that the entire post-match ceremony was in Spanish. You can bet your ass that if we were in Mexico City, it wouldn’t be all in English.”
Right on Mr. Howard! And add a extra dozen expletives for emphasis!
The other incident took place in Nevada where an air-head principal decided that his commencement speech should be blathered in Spanish as well as English:
ZEPHYR COVE, Nev. (CBS13) – He congratulated the graduating class of 2011, but one but one principal’s commencement speech actually offended some in the crowd.
The graduating class at Whittell High School has only 30 students. Just a few weeks ago during graduation their principal gave an encouraging speech congratulating his students and their parents.
“Class of 2011, I want to congratulate you for all your accomplishments this year,” said Principal Crespin Esquivel.
He then said the same thing in Spanish, making sure his commencement speech could also be understood by his Spanish speaking parents and students who make up the second largest group of the school.
“I figured why not do it in Spanish? I think it’s important for me to make sure all the families feel comfortable,” said Esquivel”
Turns out that in his zeal to pander to Hispanics,Esquivel failed to make several Americans comfortable. The woman who complained about Esquivel’s Spanish translation sparked a debate online.
To Esquivel and all of the other renegades behind the Spanish Imposition:
This is America, dudes. We don’t need no stinkin’ Spanish here! </b>

Posted on The Heritage Foundation-On June 29, 2011:
“For all of candidate Barack Obama’s campaign rhetoric promising to respect Congress’s authority to draft the nation’s laws, President Obama has demonstrated a persistent pattern of circumventing the legislative branch via administrative fiat whenever his agenda stalls. And though one of the Obama campaign’s legal advisers cautioned against a President who would “take the law into his own hands and shred it when it’s convenient,” Obama has done just that time and time again.
The Obama Administration generally employs one of two strategies to legislate without—and often in spite of—congressional action: (1) administrative decree establishing a new federal rule, or (2) a refusal to enforce existing federal law. In five separate policy areas, the President and the federal agencies under his command have spurned congressional authority to achieve Obama’s objectives.
1. Environmental Regulation: President Obama has made it his mission to impose economy-killing environmental regulations on America in spite of clear congressional opposition. Take the White House–backed cap-and-trade bill, which would have created a market for “carbon credits” that businesses would have to trade in order to emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses.
The measure passed the House in 2009 but was defeated in the Senate. Undeterred, the Obama Administration sought to ram its agenda into law without congressional approval. It managed to classify carbon dioxide as a “pollutant” under the Clean Air Act, thereby granting the Environmental Protection Agency the authority to regulate its emission—despite warnings even from Members of Congress who wanted to regulate carbon emissions but recognized the problematic nature of doing so without congressional approval.
2. Labor Law: Expanding powerful labor unions is another Obama Administration objective. On June 21, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) announced plans to dramatically reduce the time to conduct unionization elections.
But in 2009, the Senate moved in the opposite direction. It removed the “card check” provision from the misnamed “Employee Free Choice Act,” effectively sinking a measure that could have dramatically increased union membership by rescinding workers’ rights to a secret ballot election for union representation.
The NLRB’s new rule will reduce the length of elections from about six weeks to 10–21 days, thereby limiting employers’ abilities to present their own cases against unionization to workers—and making the formation of a union far more likely. Increased unionization was always card check’s purpose. The NLRB is now attempting to achieve the same goal without Congress’s approval.
3. Immigration Law: On immigration policy, the Obama Administration has not even waited for congressional action before charting its own legislative course. In May, Democrats reintroduced the DREAM Act—which would provide a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who came to the United States before they were 16—after the lame-duck Congress failed to pass it late last year.
But rather than waiting for Congress to act, officials at Obama’s Department of Homeland Security have instructed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and attorneys to exercise “prosecutorial discretion” for illegal immigrants who have attended school in the United States, meaning far fewer such illegal immigrants will be prosecuted and deported. The agency cited a shortage of resources, but the decision amounts to a de facto implementation of the DREAM Act.
4. Selective Enforcement of Federal Law: Rather than push Congress to repeal federal laws against marijuana use, Obama’s Justice Department decided in 2009 that it would simply stop enforcing those laws. Proposals to legalize marijuana at the federal level consistently fail to win congressional approval, but the Obama Administration decided to implement its agenda in spite of that lack of legislative support.
The Justice Department again employed this tactic in February when it announced that it would no longer enforce another federal law: the Defense of Marriage Act. The Administration did not agree with the law, so rather than attempting to repeal it via the standard legislative channels, it decided to ignore it.
5. Regulating the Internet: Obama’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decided late last year to assume authority over Internet regulation despite a ruling by a federal appeals court explicitly denying the commission that authority. In contradiction of the court’s ruling, the FCC voted 3–2 in December to pass the first-ever federal regulations on Internet traffic. The House has voted to block those regulations, but Obama has pledged to veto any such legislation.
More Bureaucratic Legislating Ahead: All of these examples demonstrate a striking lack of respect for the role of the legislative branch in American government. Despite paying lip service to Congress’s constitutional role as the sole source of the nation’s laws, the Obama Administration has ignored Congress wherever the people’s representatives have declined to codify his agenda.
Nor is there any sign of this trend abating. Even now, the President is considering a number of proposals that would advance his legislative agenda without congressional consideration or approval, including re-regulation of campaign finance laws to circumvent a Supreme Court decision and waivers of the No Child Left Behind law in the face of congressional inaction.
Following the November elections, when President Obama’s party lost control of the House, Obama told America that where he can’t legislate, he will regulate. And that seems to be this Administration’s modus operandi: If Congress refuses to abide by Obama’s agenda, the President’s bureaucratic machine will make its own laws.”

Glenn Beck laments the hate being exhibited. One would think he would have known what to expect at a public gathering in New York City. He was asking for it. Glenn is very good at keeping us informed, but short on answers. While I’m on the subject, Tea Party.Org is aware of America’s extremely hazardous course, but it now comes to my attention that the posters here are lacking in the necessary correction.
I’ve stated my philosophy on almost a daily basis for some time here and the comments are few, but the same can be said for everyone posting here. There is no consensus of opinion. Generally speaking, we all have our own ideas. Marxists speak more with one voice.
It is incomprehensible how humans created with reason and logic could become angry mobs, tolerate excessive government, unsustainable debt, collectivism, age-old religious dogmas and doctrines, all put together to tell the story of a world out of touch with reality, fearful of change, self-delusional. It is even more incomprehensible when you find what is taking place at http://www.mymiraclemessage.com/?p=75 Take a peak. My Miracle Message tells you how the future world thinks. Glen doesn’t get it. It’s all about control—your enslavement. While Glenn is doing something nice and going to church, raving wolves are devouring every right we have. If we don’t do more than what Glenn tell us to do, you won’t have any rights at all.
While the world is beating itself to death, I’m receiving hundreds of highly favorable comments daily on the same philosophy I’m posting on Tea Party.Org. The comments are coming from people who have something to sell on the Web. Innovation is fundamental to the law. The one-worlders don’t know it, but one-on-one communication on the Web proves to do away with boundaries. My message is selling like hotcakes. With the economy sick, the world’s network economy is doing fine. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. They don’t do something nice and go to church. The next thing you know we are in a war.
Satire by John W. Lillpop
Astounding fact: The majority of Americans pay NO income taxes whatsoever.
Nada, zero, not one damn penny!
This is the result of Democrat-sponsored exemptions, deductions, and other gimmicks which allow seniors, people in the middle class, the poor, large families, disabled and other “constituents” of Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi to avoid paying their “fair share.”
Sorry, moon bats, but ZERO is not a fair share for anyone living in America!
On the other hand, left-wing crazies want to pillage and plunder the rich, that upstanding one-percent of patriotic citizens who already pay the lion’s share of taxes.
Think about it: Here America stands on the brink of financial meltdown and Democrats want to invade the pocketbooks of those overburdened, under appreciated, and abused folks referred to as the rich.
Just what sort of sense does it make to ignore the majority of people who pay no taxes, while attacking the one-percent of the population that is already paying exorbitant taxes?
The answer is, of course, no sense at all.
Except to power-mad liberals who do not give a damn about fairness or equality, but who are addicted to power.
In all comes down to votes and power. Unfortunately, there one hell of a lot more scalawags who pay no taxes than there are millionaires and billionaires!
In short, the successful and prosperous are easy targets for people like Joe Biden who believe that paying higher taxes is the “patriotic” thing to do—except when it comes to constituents of the Democrat Party!
The solution to all of America’s financial woes is to go after those folks who are not paying their “fair share,” that being the middle class, poor, and others who manage to avoid taxes altogether.
Significantly, those who pay no taxes are the same folks who knock the federal piggy bank out of whack with excessive demands on entitlement and discretionary spending.
That would be the tens of millions of people placed on the public dole by Democrats in order to purchase votes for their party.
So, you see, it is not the rich who are ruining America!
Rather it is the poor and middle class who need to clean up their acts.
America needs to rewrite the tax code so as to punish those who take but give little, or nothing, in return. A “Poverty Surcharge” would do the trick.
Here’s how it would work: Any family that earns less than $30,000 in any tax year would be assessed a Poverty Surcharge, nominally 2 % of gross income.
Another example: An unmarried woman with four children who is on welfare should be penalized for having more kids!
For each additional child she brings into the world, her monthly welfare check should be cut by 20 percent. All welfare income should be taxable, with no deductions allowed.
This would help bring down the deficit AND motivate the poor, down trodden, and irresponsible to get off their “Pity Pots.”
The new American model should be “Contribute your fair share, or perish!” and it should apply to all.
The notion that the rich should subsidize millions of slothful folk who do nothing but sit on their bottoms while watching Oprah reruns is “Old school,” immoral, and must stop!
What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on National Review Online-By ANDREW C. McCARTHY-On June 25, 2011:
“In a better time, when the burdens of war were shared by an engaged nation and not shouldered exclusively by military families making up less than 1 percent of the population, the high farce that is the Afghanistan mission would have been obvious before President Obama uttered one word on Wednesday night. All you’d need to know is the story that came to light the day before.
Turns out that the U.S. government has embraced a core tenet of sharia — that archaic corpus of Islamic law that Mitt Romney recently assured us would never gain traction in America.
Patrick Poole reported at Pajamas Media on Tuesday that the secretary of the army has just granted “conscientious objector” status to Pfc. Nasser Abdo, a Muslim American soldier who refused to deploy to Afghanistan. Heeding the admonitions of CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood operatives, the Pentagon accepts the claim that sharia forbids Muslims from assisting infidels in a war against Muslim forces in an Islamic land.
News Flash One: The war in Afghanistan, an Islamic land, is a war waged by infidels (that would be us) against Muslim forces — the Taliban, al-Qaeda, the Haqqani network, etc.
News Flash Two: The operating theory of the American counterinsurgency (COIN) strategy in Afghanistan is that the hearts and minds of the population of this tribal sharia society will side with us non-Muslims in a war against their fellow Muslims, most of whom are also their fellow Afghans.
Which is to say, our strategy is insane.
That does not mean our troops cannot kill a goodly number of jihadists. They have done that, and they will no doubt continue to do that as long as U.S. and allied forces remain in Afghanistan. Naturally, the number of terrorists we manage to get will dwindle as we draw down, while our diminishing numbers will make our own troops increasingly vulnerable to attack. But, sure, we can stick around forever, killing pockets of jihadists and overtaking their strongholds, however temporarily.
That, however, is not victory. It is an ever-worsening stalemate. Victory, under our chosen strategy, can never be achieved. That is why Obama, Gen. David Petreaeus, and COIN enthusiasts everywhere resist mention of the V-word.
“Victory” has been downgraded to “success,” but even success is not much discussed — and that is because, as conceived, success is a pipedream too. The idea is that we stay and hold the Taliban et al. at bay until we have finally trained enough Afghan soldiers and police officers to fight the Taliban for us. Because once we win over their hearts and minds, the theory goes, these Afghans will believe they are actually fighting the Taliban for themselves — fighting “their war,” not ours, as the heady plan was explained by Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the former theater commander and Kennedy School fellow who now teaches international relations at Yale. It’s all very cerebral, psychological, and sophisticated, the kind of war professors could love.
There’s just one problem with it. Okay, there’s a ton of problems, but let’s get to the big one: If we acknowledge that sharia is a valid reason not to send an American Muslim to fight against his fellow Muslims in Afghanistan, what on earth makes us think the Afghan Muslims are going to fight their fellow Afghan Muslims in furtherance of American national-security interests?
The sharia objection Private Abdo successfully posed to his deployment is not frivolous. To the contrary, from the perspective of a devout Muslim, it is ironclad. The animating theme of Islamic law is the supremacy of Islam and the imperative that it reign over the earth, that Muslims overcome non-Muslims. Consequently, infidel forces are generally regarded with hostility in Islamic countries (particularly if they are pursuing their own, rather than Islamic, interests). This is why politicians in the new Afghan and Iraqi “democracies” get such mileage out of America-bashing. Their populations, which are nearly 100 percent Islamic, despise America. In these places, the very thought of Muslims helping non-Muslims make war against Muslims is anathema.
Reliance of the Traveller, the classic manual of Islamic law accepted throughout the ummah, instructs believers that there is nothing “more heinous in Allah’s sight” than “the killing of a believer.” How, you may ask, are we to convince Afghans that when we kill Taliban operatives we’re not killing believers, and that when they kill them for us, they won’t be killing believers either?
Here, our Beltway solons get downright Jesuitical, maintaining that these Taliban characters are not really Muslims but, yes, “violent extremists” who have perverted Islam. But behold: Even in the West Wing faculty lounge, they don’t really buy this fairy tale. That’s why such pains were taken to give Osama bin Laden a fastidiously Muslim funeral, during which American naval personnel actually prayed for Allah to pardon him and grant him every blessing of paradise before feeding him to the sharks.
Like the army secretary, the administration was just following sharia, under which bin Laden was a Muslim, through and through.
As the Prophet Mohammed decreed, any man “who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah” is a Muslim. Mass-murder is not disqualifying.
Under sharia, believers may not join non-Muslims in killing Muslims, even if those Muslims, like the Taliban, are not particularly popular. According to Reliance of the Traveller, it is unlawful to shed the blood of a Muslim “unless he be one of three: a married adulterer, someone killed in retaliation for killing another, or someone who abandons his religion and the Muslim community.”
Wait a second, you say: If sharia permits retaliatory killing, can’t Muslims help us against these assassins from al-Qaeda and Taliban? No, with exceptions that are not relevant to this discussion, only when the murder victims are Muslims is retaliatory killing permitted. Muslims who kill non-Muslims are expressly protected.
Moreover, non-Muslim forces in Islamic countries are deemed “occupiers,” the term the detestable Afghan president Hamid Karzai has taken to calling American troops. Occupiers (like any non-Muslims who fight and kill Muslims) are seen as oppressors and enemies of Allah. The Koran sternly warns Muslims not to take such non-Muslims as friends or protectors (e.g., Suras 4:139, 60:01), and most certainly not to take up their cause against fellow Muslims. As Sura 4:144 puts it, “O, ye who believe, take not for friends Unbelievers rather than Believers: do ye wish to offer Allah an open proof against yourselves?”
Private Abdo may not approve of al-Qaeda. He may not want to see the Taliban retake control of Afghanistan. But that is not the point.
They are Muslims. He, like the Muslims of Afghanistan, sees himself as a Muslim first. He is not going to side with us over them. It doesn’t matter that he may privately believe they are reprehensible. Since they are Muslims, he sees it as Allah’s place, not his, to condemn them. In this life, in the sharia schema of Muslims versus non-Muslims, he is with his fellow Muslims — and would risk grave peril, both here and in the afterlife, were he to cross over to the other side.
On the Corner this week, Iraq vet David French complained that counterinsurgency had developed an undeserved reputation for being “touchy-feely” because of its close association with nation-building. His point is well taken. COIN, as he attests, involves “intense fighting” under conditions that are exceedingly dangerous — made intolerably dangerous, I would add, by the stringent rules of engagement imposed on our warriors, given the impossible task of wooing the Islamic population with one hand while they battle the Islamic enemy with the other. That our forces make such progress in the constraints under which they operate is an astonishing testament to their bravery and competence.
The problem is that COIN and nation-building, if they are to have a prayer, cannot succeed until after the enemy has been defeated. What wins hearts and minds is not showing how virtuous and decent we are — especially in a confrontation between civilizations with very different ideas about virtue and decency. Hearts and minds are won when the enemy’s will is broken. COIN and nation-building worked in postwar Germany and Japan because complete victory was achieved first. As Jed Babbin recounts, it did not work in Vietnam, where, as in the War on Terror, the enemy was never conquered and its state sponsors were permitted to fuel the fighting with impunity.
Victory is not a step that can be skipped. Its stark absence cannot be disguised by miniaturizing the enemy, by pretending it is an aberrant fringe of violent extremists. The Taliban enjoys broad popular support — or, at least, sympathy — because the Afghan public is more aligned with its beliefs than with ours. That makes the population the enemy.
There is a reason why so many U.S. and allied troops are being attacked and killed in sneak attacks by the Afghan recruits they are trying to train.
There is a reason why the Obama administration is negotiating with the Taliban — conceding that the Taliban won’t be defeated and must be accommodated — even as Americans are told that battling the Taliban is the reason our young men and women must remain in harm’s way.
It is madness.

After the fact that we are turned into slaves of the powerful, what then? Thirty-six years ago my business enterprise was on the rocks and my wife was divorcing me. I was a failure and I blamed government. That isn’t the point. What I could do about it is the point. We know only too well the problem, folks. I have not heard what we can do about it. We can put the right people in office. The problem is still there. Putting the right people in office is not the right answer.
At age 49, I was a failure. After that fact, all my dreams came true. Presently, America’s establishment has failed. We are given the establishment answers—address the symptoms and ignore the cause. That is not what the Constitution says. There is a double standard, one for government, another for the individual. This is what divides us. A house divided does not long stand.
It is futile to look to government for answers. I go on what is good for me. I’m a winner. For the good of all, a loser for you and me, a winner for government. The Constitution is not what government says it is but what I say it is; that is, if I hope to win. You can find in the written record that I beat government. I beat the politicians you elected. I was right; you were wrong. The government was forced to eat crow. You said nothing, I guess, because it was a mystery to you, and perhaps a threat. What could you do if your entitlement was declared unconstitutional? All government entitlements are unconstitutional. Government entitlement is purely an expedience. Before New Deal Law there were no government entitlements. We were not threatened with bankruptcy. Future generations were not burdened with former generations’ debts. By your expedience—your choice of politicians—you have left your children a nation that is weak and uncertain.
It took determination, and for an extended period of time to beat Uncle Sam, but my reward was great. If we knew that our rights are not automatic, we would not be in the current debt crises. The economy would be more productive than anyone can imagine. The politicians would be making the right decisions. We would be able to say our dreams have come true.
When I was establishment oriented, I used to dream that I was out on the street with no clothes on. It came from being taught that I was going to make a fool of myself if I dared to make my voice heard. I’m no longer religious. The Constitution supports me. The religious don’t. They look at me as a threat.
The background of law upon which the Constitution was founded followed no particular religion. The Bible doesn’t follow the doctrines and dogmas of various religions. Jesus’ teaching does not follow the doctrines and dogmas of religions. Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence was not religious. Religions are manmade. Jesus said, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God.” God brings us love; man’s religions bring us war, and the same for the idea that government’s duty is to do for the good of all. God-given rights cannot be replaced by man. There can be no compromise. By compromising your God-given rights, you allow your representatives to do for the good of all things that rob you of your God-given rights and responsibilities. You will never be able to say all your dreams have come true as long as you compromise what is yours forever—rights that do not come from religions or from government, rights that may not be taken, or in any way compromised.
God is love; all else is false. God put man on earth to build a solid foundation of love. Jesus warned us to beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing. He told us to not hide our light under a bushel. He told us we cannot serve two masters. And he told us to ask and it would be given, seek and you will find. I learned all of this after the fact. It’s incomprehensible but true. My life is as good as it gets. Naturally, I want to pass on what I’ve learned.
What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on WND.com-By Art Moore-On June 26, 2011:
“The legal complaint by a U.S.-based Islamic lobby group asking a federal judge to expunge all copies of a best-selling exposé that documents the group’s terrorist ties is an attempt to eliminate evidence that could lead to criminal prosecution, according to a lawyer defending a co-author of the book.
Daniel Horowitz, who represents “Muslim Mafia” co-author P. David Gaubatz and his son, Chris, believes the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, knows that the material is incriminating and wants it destroyed.
“So far, the Obama administration has refused to prosecute CAIR,” Horowitz said, “despite undeniable evidence that following 9/11 they sought donations for 9/11 victims and passed the money to the Hamas-based Holy Land Foundation.”
CAIR has insisted its designation by federal prosecutors as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Justice Department’s terror-finance case against the Richardson, Texas-based Holy Land Foundation is unjustified. But the group admitted in a legal brief in 2009 that it solicited donations in the wake of the 9/11 attacks for Holy Land Foundation, which was convicted of funneling more than $12 million to Hamas.
In May 2007, CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the scheme.
As WND reported, CAIR is asking a federal judge to expunge all copies of “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America”, which exposes the Islamic group’s ties to radical jihad through original documents secured in a daring undercover operation by Chris Gaubatz, who posed as a CAIR intern.
CAIR’s admission that it raised funds for the Hamas group was made in talk-radio host Michael Savage’s lawsuit against CAIR and attached to a brief filed in December 2009 in the Muslim group’s suit against the Gaubatzes.
In the Savage case, Horowitz asserted CAIR “exploited 9/11 as it put on its website a picture of the World Trade Center in flames and below it a call for donations that was linked to the Holy Land Foundation website.”
{…}
CAIR’s Northern California branch, while denying the organization “exploited” 9/11, admitted on page 15 of its reply that its national office “offered a link to websites for Muslim and non-Muslim organizations collecting donations for 9/11 survivors, including Holy Land Foundation’s website.”
In the Holy Land Foundation case, federal prosecutors listed CAIR as a member of the U.S. branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, a worldwide jihadist movement based in Egypt that birthed al-Qaida and Hamas and other Sunni terrorist groups and seeks to establish Islamic law in America.
“In the height of cynicism, (CAIR) basically knew the money they were collecting in the name of terrorist victims was going to create more terrorist victims,” said “Muslim Mafia” co-author Paul Sperry.
In the book, the authors write, “After 9/11, as rescue workers were still pulling bodies from Ground Zero, CAIR tricked visitors to its Web site into contributing to the charitable front by telling them their donations would benefit World Trade Center victims – including New York firefighters”
{…}
The FBI stepped into the Gaubatz case Nov. 23, 2009, with a warrant to examine the papers and recordings, apparently as part of its concern about CAIR and its terrorist links to Hamas. The bureau cut off ties to CAIR in response to the Islamic group’s role in the Holy Land Foundation case.
Just two weeks after 9/11, CAIR also began soliciting funds for the Global Relief Foundation, which also was shut down by the U.S. government on terror charges. The Treasury Department declared that the Global Relief Foundation provided support to Osama bin Laden, al-Qaida and other terrorist groups.
When the Holy Land Foundation was shut down Dec. 4, 2001, CAIR removed the HLF link from its website and 10 days later removed the Global Relief Foundation link, when it, too, was closed.
The Holy Land Foundation’s chairman had a direct link to CAIR. Ghassan Elashi, who was charged in December 2002 with selling computers and computer parts to terrorist-sponsoring Libya and Syria, was a founding board member of CAIR’s Texas chapter.
Steven Emerson’s Investigative Project on Terrorism revealed the Holy Land Foundation provided at least $5,000 in revenues to CAIR as it was starting up its operations. CAIR, in turn, solicited funds for the foundation.
{…}
A 'media twinkle' on jihad:
As “Muslim Mafia” recounts, FBI wiretap evidence from the Holy Land case showed CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad was at an October 1993 meeting of Hamas leaders and activists in Philadelphia.
At that time, Awad was public relations director for a group created by the Muslim Brotherhood called the Islamic Association for Palestine, the IAP. At the Philadelphia meeting, IAP and Holy Land Foundation officials developed a scheme to disguise payments to Hamas terrorists and their families as charity.
The creation of CAIR can be traced back to the meeting, when IAP and Holy Land officials, according to a transcript, discussed the need to give a “media twinkle” to their agenda of supporting violent jihad abroad while slowing institutionalizing Islamic law at home.
CAIR was first mentioned by name in Muslim Brotherhood documents as part of the July 30, 1994, agenda of a meeting of the Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee.
The minutes reveal the purpose of the meeting was to discuss “suggestions to develop [the] work of CAIR” and its “coordination” with the IAP, Holy Land Foundation – which shared its Texas offices with the IAP – and the Washington, D.C.-based United Association for Studies and Research, or UASR. Along with IAP, UASR was co-founded by the deputy chief of Hamas’ political operations, Mousa Abu Marzook.
Marzook led the Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee in the America before he was designated by the U.S. as a terrorist. He and other participants at the July 1994 meeting discussed satisfying the “need for trained resources in the media and political fields” to “exert more efforts in the advancement of the Palestine Cause from the Islamic aspect.”
CAIR was incorporated less than two months later.
Book ban:
After filing two unsuccessful versions of its complaint in the Gaubatz case, CAIR has filed yet another amended complaint that asks the court to bar the Gaubatzes and anyone related to their effort from publishing the documents and recordings obtained in the undercover operation.
Horowitz argues the complaint does not explicitly list any damages done to the organization by “Muslim Mafia.”
Posing as a Muslim, Chris Gaubatz gathered some 12,000 pages of documents, which were meant to be shredded, while serving as an intern at CAIR’s national office in Washington, just three blocks from the U.S. Capitol building.
In the lawsuit, however, CAIR, a self-described Muslim civil-rights group, does not defend itself against the book’s claims.
Federal Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington, D.C., is considering CAIR’s motion to file an amended complaint after the first one failed to gain traction. The Gaubatzes’ legal team, meanwhile, has filed a motion to dismiss the case, pending Kollar-Kotelly’s ruling.
In April, however, before the judge decided on the second complaint, CAIR attorney Nadhira Al-Khalili informed the Gaubatzes’ lawyers that CAIR planned to file yet another amended complaint that added causes of action based on “newly discovered information.”
Horowitz has said he hopes the judge will dismiss the first complaint and then determine whether the second and third are any different. If there is no difference, Horowitz has explained to WND, she can reject CAIR’s request to amend the complaint and then throw out the case.”

If Conservatives, Red-staters and those who believe in the holy directive to "multiply and replenish the Earth," are patient, they will never again have to campaign against the Left, because Liberals are sprinting down the road to self-extinction.
Non-procreation has been a fashion trend among Liberals for a lot of years now, especially European Liberals. Just this week, the face of climate hypocrisy, Al Gore, called on women to save the planet by "stabilizing the population." That is a euphemism the Chinese one-child bureaucrats would have loved. But of course it is just another float in the parade of anti-human ideas that ooze from the pens and mouths of the environmentalist Left.
First we had to cease using DDT because it made the eggshells of certain seabirds fragile. The result has been the needless deaths of millions of people each year, primarily in equatorial Africa, from mosquito-borne malaria. Then came abortion on demand. The human cost is staggering; upwards of 55 million dead humans in the United States alone since 1973. The "women's liberation" movement derided the nuclear family and the children it produces and protects. Birthrates fell as women bought into that lie. Next in the parade is gay marriage. What could be more anti-procreation than fashioning a model for sex and marriage that is irrevocably sterile? The ideologies of the Left are fundamentally anti-human; National socialism, Facism, Marxism, Communism. If you haven't noticed yet, all governments based on those ideologies kill lots and lots of people (Liberals included). And now we have arrived at the juncture where having babies is not an eco-friendly thing to do. Children and the human race be damned! 'We don't want to inconvenience the planet with the dreadful dumplings' dastardly landfill-clogging diapers,' goes the reasoning of the enviro-Left.
The modern Left is on the path to extinction. But this is not the natural selection of weak species dying out while the adaptable and vigorous species thrive and evolve. This is human-selected extiguishment of a species (although the Left is not, technically, a separate species). Oddly enough, they are selecting themselves to eternal banishment from the planet. A self-destructive movement using the scalpel of fecundity to kill itself in a single generation. This is fascinating from a theoretical standpoint. There are, of course, a lot of variables which go into reproduction and population dynamics. But generally speaking, the Left is trending itself out of existence.
Red-staters, Christians, and Conservatives are ensuring political domination simply by having more babies that Liberals and Blue-staters. Abortion rates are lower in Red states. Conservatives have higher birth rates than Liberals: 2.7 children on average in the Red state of Utah vs. 1.7 in very blue Vermont. Evangelical Christians and Mormons have nearly twice the birthrates of their secular neighbors. Perhaps it boils down to the fact that most Conservatives believe IN God, believe His word, and believe that He is SERIOUS when He gives commandments. Liberals answer first to political ideology then self (God is stuck some place where they can pull Him out if it is convenient), so "multiply and replenish" to them are a blasphemy against their overburdened Mother Earth.
I frankly feel bad for the broads and dipsticks that somehow feel their environmental awareness will compensate for the awful void of children that never were. Mother Earth will not like you any better just because you skip producing a batch of little eco-destroying nasties. Nature will eat you up in an eyeblink because it is dispassionate, and vast and you can do nothing to impact the planet for long term good or ill. You are a flyspeck on the cosmic timeline. But your human heart may long for a family, especially when Al Gore and the Environmental movement are remembered only as a hoax. Your heart may break. Your Heavenly Father may be a little miffed.
But, hey. In just a few years Conservative candidates won't have to do any fundraisers, stump speeches, or social media campaigns. There won't be any Liberals left to run against.
Just a few examples:
U.S. Open, NBC cuts 'Under God' from Pledge of Allegiance
American Flag Art Banned in classroom
Bible Banned From School
Teens Banned From High School Graduation for Wearing Military Sash
High school Valedictorian, Banned from saying "How God changed my life" in his speech. http://bit.ly/mBxha7
Meanwhile, celebrating Gay and Lesbian Pride Day is considered an important part of the public school curriculum. http://bit.ly/m5qcqw (This video will blow you away!)
While I can not confirm how wide spread, I do know many public schools are filling our kids' minds with a belief system opposite of their parents. The public schools' “Operation Dumb Them Down” is step one in preparing our children to drink their socialist/globalist kool-aid.
Karen Schoen, a former teacher wrote...
“In the 60-70's The Anti-War, Anti America, anti-family, anti-religion youth were prompted into the teaching profession as a way to beat the draft. Teaching was a draft exempt profession.
We (myself included) learned the works of Marx and Dewey and how to get this message to our students.
We were taught to lie, use psychology, break down the family, separate children, promote the environment, and treat boredom with drugs.
We were taught to use subliminal messaging to instill ideas not factual information, this is called indoctrination.
We were also taught divide and conquer techniques and to discuss class warfare pitting one group against the other. (Obama is a master at this technique. He demon-izes achievers.)
I taught the worst classes in Brooklyn with over 35 kids in a class and my students sat on the stage to get honors at graduation.
It is the curriculum, that is the only problem. I fought my principal about the failing of this new curriculum until I had to leave.
Reading, math, writing, critical thinking, logic, reason and factual information has been stripped out of our schools.
Factual information regarding American history, civics, economics, nationalism, family values, religion are no longer found in schools.
Cognitive thinking through consensus is now the norm.
The goal is dumb students=dumb citizens = dumb legislators who will pass horrific bills without reading them.
As you know the poor and minorities will be the biggest losers as generation upon generation will be nothing more than indentured servants working for crumbs doled out to them by the government through continued generations of people on entitlements. People are taught to be entitled and accept their minimal slot in life. (Witnessing the devastated lives and early deaths of several of my relatives, I can testify about the tragic consequences of government replacing daddy in the black family.)
It is no surprise there is no outrage on the debt, these schools are teaching that the more debt you have the more prominent you are...”

Parroting Marvin Gaye, I ask, “What's going on”? Answer: the public school agenda is to steal generations of our children turning them into useful idiots. They promote socialist programs, social justice, world citizenship and destroying any concept of American as a sovereign nation. In a nutshell, they're going after our kids, folks! They must be stopped.
Again, I thank God for TEA For Education, a non-profit. Here are excerpts from their Mission Statement.
“The mission of Tea for Education is to fundamentally change public education in
America.
The ultimate goal of Tea for Education is to re-direct the focus of the public
education system in America away from the leadership of the teachers unions and
government bureaucracy and toward a free market in education that is structured to
benefit the children first.”
Yes, That's what I am talking about! Patriots, we must rally around these good guys and support them. If you feel lead, get involved.
What is going on in our schools is un-American and evil.

"Are you a flake?" "Are some of the things you say flaky?" These are actual questions that Chris Wallace of Fox News asked of Michelle Bachmann, a woman with at least twice his IQ and qualifications. Why Mr. Wallace did this is inexplicable, but he got a big shiner as Mrs. Bachmann and the Fox viewers punched back. He will probably never recover.
This was an attempt at a clever rhetorical trick by Mr. Wallace which associates a person with a word. The less cerebral among us, Liberals, children, will turn that word into an image and superimpose it onto the name and persona of the individual that has been thus labeled. So Chris Wallace (clever trial attorneys, and virtually all of the disingenuous interviewers that prowl the main stream media) attempted to use that psychological ruse to create the impression that Michelle Bachmann is a flake, despite the total absence of evidence that she is anything other than a highly accomplished, educated, intelligent, righteous, devoted mother, wife and American. He invented it, but when he put her name in a sentence with the word 'flake,' ending with question mark, he created a trick of word association. The imprint of image to which mobs and Liberals are so susceptible.
So I will do the same for Chris Wallace. "Does Chris Wallace look at porn?" I have no idea. There have been no reports that he looks at porn. It's a stupid question. But I've associated the name of Chris Wallace with PORN. Chris Wallace, PORN. PORN, Chris Wallace. Have you heard that Chris Wallace looks at porn? Of course not, I haven't. But this if this trick lie, shielded from libel laws by a little curved punctuation mark, is repeated often and broadly it will stick. No matter how innocent Chris Wallace is of viewing porn, if the lie is spread, and the word becomes paired with his name often enough, he will become, in the media consumer psyche, "Chris Wallace, "Pornman."
Social media and passionate Conservatism combined with a fedupness by Americans of a schoolyard bully approach to news and politics interrupted Mr. Wallace's gotcha moment. It didn't sneak past like he hoped. The insult was stinging, and totally undeserved by a dignified an serious presidential contender. Michelle Bachmann pushed back. We pushed back, and we pushed back hard. An American activist class has emerged. They are politically savvy, sophisticated in history, debate, and human nature, and always on high alert for trickery and hypocrisy.
Sorry about your epic fail Mr. Wallace. Your name will forever now be associated with the word 'flake." Just like Weiner and TWEET, Weiner and WEINER, and Weiner and IGNOMINIOUS RESIGNATION, will always be paired in water-cooler talk forevermore. Chris Wallace, FLAKE? Chris Wallace, PORN? Chris Wallace, UNEMPLOYED? We'll see.
Satire By John W. Lillpop
While the Anthony Weiner scandal was deadly serious and cause for grave concern, it is nonetheless hysterical to hear Democrats scream foul about morality and decency. Both subjects have all but been eliminated from the liberal vocabulary, especially since the perverted administration of Bill Clinton.
In fact, comparing the case histories of Anthony Weiner and Bill Clinton helps to place the weiner crisis in perspective.
To wit, unlike Bill Clinton, Weiner did not:
* Lie under oath about a sexual relationship with a subordinate (Monica Lewinski) on government property (The White House).
* Discuss military matters on the telephone with a member of the U.S. Congress while receiving oral sex from an intern (Monica Lewinsky) in the Oval Office.
* Leave a foreign leader (Yassar Arafat) waiting in the Rose Garden of the White House while engaging in sex with the same intern.
* Sexually assault (allegedly) a volunteer worker (Kathleen Wiley) in the White House.
* Rape (allegedly) an associate (Juanita Broderick).
Furthermore, at least Weiner had the good sense to resign, albeit with pressure from Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and other feminists just now discovering the wild, wonderful world of morality!
Obviously, Clinton’s sexual transgressions have nothing to do with those of former Rep. Weiner.
But watching liberals gag on their own words while feigning outrage over the sexually explicit nature of Weiner's e-mails is the most entertaining theater seen in Washington, D.C., since Clinton’s impeachment in December of 1998!
What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on CNSNews.com-By Terence P. Jeffrey-On June 24, 2011:
“(CNSNews.com) - A scholar who served for 40 years as a constitutional law expert at the Library of Congress is pointing to President Barack Obama’s use of military force in Libya without congressional authorization—and, in the longer-term, a lack of effective action by Congress to protect its constitutional prerogatives—as evidence the United States has begun putting an unconstitutional “concentration of power” in the hands of one man.
“We’re ending up with a concentration of power in the president which is not constitutional,” Louis Fisher, now a scholar in residence at the Constitution Project, told CNSNews.com’s Online With Terry Jeffrey.
Fisher, who is the author of Presidential War Power, a definitive scholarly account of the drafting and historical implementation of the constitutional war power, said President Obama cannot use the United Nations or NATO to authorize his use of military force in Libya because under the U.S. Constitution only Congress can authorize a U.S. military action not needed to defend the United States against an attack.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvoJgRTmGts&feature=player_embedded
“I think President Obama had an obligation to get authority up front,” said Fisher. “Obama, as you know, reached out to NATO, reached out to Security Council, reached out to the Arab League.”
Fisher said he is not calling for impeachment hearings for Obama, but did say he believes members of Congress and the public should understand that “nothing would be more impeachable” than war without authorization and that it was “a very grave offense.”
“I’m not going to recommend that the House Judiciary Committee hold impeachment hearings. But I would like members of Congress and the public to say that nothing would be more impeachable than a president who takes the country to war without coming to Congress, who does it unilaterally,” said Fisher. “So I would like people to be educated, including members of Congress to be educated, that that is a very grave offense.”
In addition to working for four decades as a constitutional expert at the Library of Congress, Fisher also taught, among other places, at Georgetown University and the William and Mary Law School.
“I would like to make it clear that in the UN Charter you cannot have the president and the Senate through the treaty process—the UN Charter or NATO—you cannot have those two actors take the power of Congress and the House of Representatives and give it to either the Security Council or to NATO countries,” said Fisher. “And I think even people who read presidential power broadly know that that’s not possible.
“You cannot use a treaty to amend the Constitution,” said Fisher.
Fisher points out that the war-powers language presented to the Constitutional Convention in 1787 initially granted Congress the sole power “to make war.” According to James Madison’s notes from the convention, Madison himself and delegate Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts offered an amendment to change the language to “declare war.”
“Mr. Madison and Mr. Gerry moved to insert ‘declare,’ striking out ‘make’ war; leaving to the Executive the power to repel sudden attacks,” said Madison’s notes.
The ensuing debate at the Constitutional Convention, the ratification process that followed, and the treatment of the war power by early congresses, presidents and Supreme Courts, Fisher explained, all make clear that the Founders understood that the Constitution gave Congress authority over initiating hostilities—whether sharply limited actions or broader wars—except when the president needed to act unilaterally to “repel a sudden attack.”
In the debate at the constitutional convention, for example, Roger Sherman of Connecticut agreed with Madison and Gerry’s understanding of what the war power should be, saying, as recorded in Madison’s notes, that the “Exectuive shd. be able to repel and not to commence war.”
Apparently responding to Pierce Butler—a delegate from South Carolina who did suggest that the power to initiate hostilities be vested in the president—Gerry said he “never expected to hear in a republic a motion to empower the Executive alone to declare war.”
Fisher said that Butler was “the only one” who argued at the Constitutional Convention for giving the war power to the president. The “other Framers were just stunned that anyone could give that power to the president,” said Fisher. “And later Pierce Butler backed away a bit. He recognized he was out by himself and no one would support that argument.”
George Mason of Virginia, who supported Madison and Gerry’s successful amendment, told the Constitutional Convention, as recorded by Madison, that he “was agst giving the power of war to the Executive, because not safely to be trusted with it; or to the Senate, because not so constructed as to be entitled to it. He was for clogging rather than facilitating war; but for facilitating peace. He preferred ‘declare’ to ‘make.’”
Fisher said Mason’s language illustrates the Framer’s belief that both houses of Congress needed to act on a decision to go to war. “The reason he would use words like that is if you go to war, it’s part of the deliberative process, it’s not the decision of a single person,” said Fisher. “It’s the whole elected officials in the legislative body making that decision.”
Every president and Congress from the ratification until the Korean War in 1950 respected this meaning of the Constitution’s war power.
“From 1789 to 1950, every president, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, the rest, Polk, they all went to Congress either for authorization or a declaration,” said Fisher.
Fisher says that even after President Harry Truman told Congress that he would not use U.S. troops in a U.N. operation without first getting congressional approval, and even after Congress passed the U.N. Participation Act that required that the president come to Congress first, Truman went ahead and ordered troops into combat in Korea without congressional authorization.
“So in 1950, when he goes to war against Korea, he never ever came to Congress either before or after for authority,” said Fisher. Truman, he said, later told reporters the conflict in Korea was not a war, but a “police action.”
More recently, President Bill Clinton was a prolific abuser of Congress’s power to authorize military actions not needed to repel attacks on the United States.
“He never came to Congress one time for authority, Clinton,” said Fisher. “Invade Haiti. Go into Bosnia. Go into Kosovo.”
Looking back on his 40 years of experience working with Congress, Fisher says that some members fail to protect the rightful constitutional powers of the body in which they serve, thus ceding authority to the president that the Framers never intended the president to have.
“Some take care of their institution, many do not take care of their own institution,” said Fisher. “That was an assumption by the Framers, that each branch would take care of itself and push away encroachments.
“If members of Congress don’t do it, then I think constituents and the general public have to say that it’s your duty,” said Fisher. “You have to protect yourself, because if you don’t protect yourself, you’re not protecting us. And we’re ending up with a concentration of power in the president, which is not constitutional.”
Fisher said the media is culpable, too.
“And the media doesn’t help,” he said. “The media often says: Oh, the president has all these really brilliant people around him and he knows what the national interest is and so forth. So the media plays into that.”
Nor, he said, are scholars always helpful.
“And even scholars do it,” he said. “Arthur Schlesinger’s famous for the imperial president. Well, he helped build up the imperial president with his books on Andrew Jackson and FDR and John Kennedy. So scholars have been very negligent on having this really idealistic view of the president. He’s someone with goodness and expertise and all of that. It’s purely imaginary.”
On Friday, the House cast a pair of seemingly contradictory votes relevant to its constitutional war power. It voted against a resolution that would have authorized President Obama to continue to use the U.S. military in Libyan operations while prohibiting the use of ground troops there. Then it voted against a resolution to cut off funds for the Libyan operation.”

What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on CNSNews.com-By Patrick Goodenough-On June 27, 2011:
“(CNSNews.com) – U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has come under fire for apparently endorsing an “anti-terrorism conference” hosted by Iran, at which the United States and Israel repeatedly were attacked and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reprised his 9/11 conspiracy claims.
Also attending the two-day event this past weekend in Tehran were leaders of three of the top six recipients of U.S. aid in fiscal year 2010 – Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Iraqi President Jalal Talabani.
According to Iranian state media and the “International Conference on the Global Fight Against Terrorism” Web site, a message from Ban was read out at the event, expressing the hope that the conference would “attain great goals.”
Multiple Iranian media reports on the conference highlighted the participation of the United Nations. The event’s Web site carries the U.N. logo alongside those of six other organizing entities – such as the conference secretariat and offices of Ahmadinejad and supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – further implying U.N. involvement and endorsement.
Phones at the U.N. press office went unanswered on Sunday evening.
Less than a week ago, Ban won a second five-year at the helm of the world body, with the full support of the Obama administration.
In its response to that development, Iran stated, “We expect that Ban Ki-moon, during his second term, will try to make up for the shortcomings of his first term and deal with all countries based on justice.”
The conference in Tehran reportedly was attended by senior officials from some 60 countries and representatives of “international organizations including the U.N.”
Apart from Zardari, Karzai and Talabani, other participating leaders included Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir – who is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged war crimes in Darfur – and the presidents of Tajikistan and Mauritania.
Addressing the conference on Saturday, Ahmadinejad revisited the sentiments he expressed at the U.N. General Assembly last September, stating that “the real truth [about the 9/11 terror attacks] has been kept from the Americans and the world.”
“Some believe that the motive behind the September 11 attacks was to ensure the safety of Zionist regime, foment insecurity in regional countries, divert the U.S. public opinion from the chaotic economic situation in the country and fill the pockets of uncivilized belligerent capitalists,” he told the Tehran gathering.
American and Israeli responsibility for terrorism were themes running through many of the speeches delivered at the conference, from the opening address by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to the closing speech by Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi.
Khamenei accused Israel of “shamelessly and openly” carrying out terrorist acts and the U.S. of “a long list of terrorist behaviors by financing and arming terrorist organizations in the region.”
Salehi linked terrorism to “foreign invasion, occupation, and meddling in internal affairs” by outside countries.
A statement released at the conclusion of the event condemned “all acts of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, including state terrorism.”
“It was underlined that state terrorism has posed, for long, a real threat to the peace and stability of many nations across the globe through unlawful use or threat of force, aggression and occupation.”
The statement also called for a distinction to be made between terrorism and the legitimate right to fight occupation – echoing the long-held view by Islamic states that any definition of terrorism should exclude “resistance” against occupation. That stance, usually cited in the context of the Palestinian and Kashmir conflicts, has for well over a decadestymied efforts by the U.N. to agree upon a definition of terrorism.
'Height of cynicism'
On Saturday, a non-governmental organization that monitors the U.N. wrote to Ban, urging him to distance himself from the Tehran conference.
U.N. Watch highlighted some of the anti-U.S. and anti-Israel sentiments pervading the event, both in speeches and “inflammatory” conference media, such as the publication of cartoons accusing the U.S. of terrorism.
In one of sketches, from smoke billowing from the burning Twin Towers missiles and bombs fall on men holding Iraqi and Afghan flags. Another shows a dove with an olive branch, trapped in a cage made up of the American flag.
In the letter to Ban, U.N. Watch executive director Hillel Neuer deplored the U.N.’s association with the event.
“As you know, this conference is the height of cynicism,” he wrote. “Iran is a leading sponsor of terrorism, arming and training terrorist proxies such as Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Iran has been accused of sponsoring terrorist attacks in Iraq, and of now aiding the Syrian regime in the bloody repression of its own population.”
Neuer said Ban’s “good name and that of the United Nations should not be exploited in this way.”
“It harms the credibility of the world body, contradicts the principles of the U.N. Charter, and aids and abets the sponsors of terrorism in their global propaganda. We urge you to publicly distance yourself and the UN from this shameful conference.”
Neuer said early Monday U.N. Watch had received no reply from the U.N. but planned to follow up. “Iran’s propaganda machine has made significant use of the U.N. endorsement,” he said. “It’s outrageous.”
'Hegemonic powers, plots'
On the sidelines of the gathering, Ahmadinejad held meetings with some of the leading participants, including three-way talks with the presidents of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The trio pledged to expand security, political and economic ties.
In his meeting with Zardari, the Iranian president complained that “hegemonic powers” were trying to impede the progress of countries in the region by sowing discord among them.
Ahmadinejad and Sudan’s Bashir discussed the “threat of state terrorism posed by Washington and Tel Aviv,”according to IRNA.
Khamenei also held meetings with some of the visiting presidents.
He told Sudan’s Bashir that the U.S. was deeply concerned about the “Islamic awakening” in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, which he said was undermining the interests of the West and Israel.
He also praised the Sudanese regime for standing firm against U.S., Western and Israeli pressure, presumably a reference to the ICC indictment.
Khamenei told Iraq’s Talabani that the U.S. has lost its influence in the Middle East and that the presence of U.S. troops in Iraq was the root cause of the country’s problems.
Meeting with Zardari, the supreme leader praised Pakistanis for foiling U.S. “ plots” and called for deeper ties between Tehran and Islamabad.”

Posted on The Washington Times-By By Seton Motley, The Washington Times-On June 17, 2011:
“June 21 marks the six-month anniversary of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) illegally imposing itself on the World Wide Web in order to assert patently absurd “net neutrality” rules.
A half-year later, the FCC still has not filed the order with the Federal Register, which is where all new rules and regulations must go to begin their imposition.
What’s the holdup? There are several possibilities, some or all of which may be why the FCC is so thoroughly slow-playing it. (Please note that it took the FCC less than a month - April 7 to May 6 - to file its wireless data-roaming seizure - so it can get things done when it wants to.)
One possibility for the delay: Two wireless providers - Verizon and Metro PCS - had filed suit to undo FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski’s net neutrality order. Verizon had sought relief in the same U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that unanimously ruled in April 2010 that the FCC has no net neutrality authority.
The court dismissed the suit, saying the company couldn’t contest the rules until the agency published them. But the court’s docket is moving along and the clock ticking. The longer the chairman drags his feet on the net neutrality order, the less likely it becomes that the court will be able to hear the case. By stalling, the chairman is callously venue-shopping - and ducking a court in which he knows he most likely will lose.
This demonstrates just how proud the FCC must be of the shabby lawyering - and linguistic and intellectual contortions - it has executed to try to re-concoct justification for its second unjustifiable and illegal Internet power grab.
If the FCC thought it had found a newer and better way to assert its alleged authority than the one summarily dismissed last year - authority that Mr. Genachowski admits he doesn’t have - the commission wouldn’t be attempting to duck the court that last time told it to take a flying leap.
The FCC’s newest official excuse for the delay is that it is going through the process of complying with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). That pretext was proffered on Wednesday at the National Cable and Telecommunications Association’s Cable Show by FCC General Counsel Austin Schlick.
There’s at least one huge problem with this assertion: The FCC - and every federal department, agency and commission - is supposed to comply with the PRA before it votes to impose a new order, not after. To do so afterward defeats the point of the law.
The intent of the PRA is to minimize the paperwork burden for individuals; small businesses; educational and nonprofit institutions; federal contractors; and state, local and tribal governments; and to prevent the government from imposing new rules and regulations without the feds first executing a thorough assessment of just how much damage to the private sector the rules and regulations would do.
The act states: “With respect to the collection of information and the control of paperwork, each agency shall … assess the information collection burden of proposed legislation affecting the agency … for any proposed collection of information contained in a proposed rule (to be reviewed by the Director under section 3507(d)), provide notice and comment through the notice of proposed rule-making for the proposed rule. … (VISec. 3506. Federal agency responsibilities subsection 4B c2).
In one sentence, the word “proposed” - not “passed” - is used four times with respect to the rule being examined. That only makes sense. It doesn’t help to glean this information if you’ve already voted on the rule.
What if the government votes on an order and then comes to find that it dramatically damages the industry upon which the agency already has dropped the hammer?
Net neutrality is just such an order. A June 2010 New York Law School study found that reclassification of the Internet as a telecom service and subsequent imposition of net neutrality rules would cost the economy at least $62 billion annually over the next five years and eliminate 502,000 jobs. What the FCC ultimately thrust upon us was Internet reclassification and net neutrality in all but name, so these numbers most likely will prove painfully accurate. That’s fantastic news for the economy.
The FCC already has imposed its net neutrality power grab - will it now unimpose it?
Does the federal leviathan ever cede power it has obtained, especially when obtained - as with net neutrality - by hook or by crook?
Umm, no.

What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on The New York Post-By Michael Tanner-On June 26, 2011:
“The Congressional Budget Office released a new report this week showing that the federal government’s publicly held debt would top 101% of GDP by 2021, more than the value of everything produced in this country over the course of a year. Think of it like owing more on your credit cards than your entire family income. By 2035, the publicly held debt, CBO says, could top an almost unfathomable 190% of GDP.
And that was the good news.
The federal government actually has three different types of debt.
Debt held by the public, which generated the headlines in the CBO report, is the type of government bonds that you — or the Chinese government — might own. Economists worry a lot about this type of debt because the government has to borrow the money from private credit markets.
The government borrowing competes with investment in the nongovernmental sector, leaving less money available for private investment in such things as factories and equipment, research and development, housing, and so on.
Growing levels of publicly held debt can drive up interest rates in the long-run, and may already be choking off interbank lending.
But that’s not the only type of government debt.
For example, there is “intragovernmental” debt, which is essentially debt that the federal government owes to itself, such as debt it owes to the so-called Social Security Trust Fund. If publicly held debt is like the money you borrowed from a bank, intragovernmental debt is like the money you swiped from your kid’s piggy bank. It may not be on your credit report, but you still have to pay it back.
Today, intergovernmental debt exceeds $4.6 trillion.
The good news here is that intragovernmental debt is not projected to grow much in the future. The bad news is that that is because both Social Security and Medicare are already running deficits — there’s nothing left to steal.
As if that’s not enough, there is also a third category of government debt: “implicit debt.”
This represents the unfunded obligations of programs such as Social Security and Medicare — the amount that those programs owe in benefits in excess of the amount of taxes that they expect to take in. Think of it as bills you know are going to come in next month but haven’t been delivered yet.
According to the annual report of the Social Security system’s trustees, that program’s unfunded liabilities now exceed $18 trillion. Medicare is in even worse shape. The most recent estimate of its finances, also released this week, warns that Medicare owes $36.8 trillion more in benefits that it is expected to be able to pay for.
And that is the optimistic outlook: It assumes that all the projected savings from President Obama’s health care reform actually happen as promised, something that even Medicare’s own actuaries are deeply skeptical of. If those savings don’t materialize, Medicare’s debt could actually top $90 trillion!
Add it all up, and total US debt actually exceeds 900% of GDP.
That’s somewhere in excess of $120 trillion. We are beginning to talk real money here.
The CBO also contains bad news for those who believe that we can fix this problem simply by cutting “fraud, waste and abuse.” As CBO points out, the projected growth in the debt “is attributable entirely to increases in spending on several large mandatory programs: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and (to a lesser extent) insurance subsidies that will be provided through [Obamacare].”
There is simply no way to deal with our debt problems without reforming those entitlement programs.
Finally, the CBO report makes it clear that we have a debt problem because spending is too high, not because taxes are too low.
In fact, even though taxes are currently at a near historic low as a proportion of the economy, that is largely a result of the recession.
If the economy returns to normal growth rates (a big “if”), federal revenues will not only rise, but will actually be higher than the postwar average percentage of GDP by the end of the decade. In fact, this will happen even if the Bush tax cuts are extended and the Alternative Minimum Tax AMT continues to be patched.
GOP lawmakers who left negotiations with Obama this week over his unwillingness to pledge no new taxes understand this.
The problem is the money going out, not coming in.
We face a simple choice: Cut spending or face fiscal catastrophe.
The question is: Is Washington listening?

The picture is of my flower garden. Notice the variety of flowers. Gardeners know that a variety is more appealing than all of a kind. It’s basic to the interactions of organisms to the environment, something the Environmental Protection Agency doesn’t know. Little does the majority know, and most particularly, environmentalists. By incorporating into the law equal distribution—socialism—all of a kind, you go against nature’s law.
During the Great Depression of the 1930s—great because it lasted 11 years under Roosevelt’s New Deal Law—“take from the rich and give to the poor and needy,” it ended with World War II, when the common cause of the American people became the survival of freedom and independence. I understand there is no such thing as objective reality. All natural is subjective. Objective reality, the end result justifies the means, is an all-time loser.
Taking from the rich and giving to the poor, in-so-far as man is concerned, denies what the cutting edge of science tell us. Our minds are interactive with the basic makeup of the universe. Clearly, there is a distinction between mind and government; that is, my mind, your mind; nature’s law and nature’s god. Man’s law is subject to natural law. Environmentalists place man ahead of nature.
Not only do environmentalists not dig natural law, but various religions do not understand the “Higher Law” of the universe. Religion has a firm grip on the poor and needy in impoverished parts of the world, and, coincidentally, “taking from the rich and giving to the poor”—socialism—in the United States of America. Religions and socialism are often birds of a feather, and most assuredly in the case of America’s environmentalists.
America, come to the party! We are on the brink of losing everything we’ve worked for. Both environmentalists and certain religions take from the individual God-given rights—turn good into evil. Look within and find God. Turn evil into good.
It is impossible to perceive of a natural reason for America’s national debt to reach the point that many future generations will be saddled with today’s debt; and not only that, to demand that the debt be increased to pay for that which has already been spent when the excessive spending continues. This is no answer. When Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner visited China and spoke to Chinese university students, promising that the dollar is “very safe,” he was almost laughed off the stage. The American economy that everyone depended on is pulling Europe and Japan into a black hole impossible to escape.
It is easy to perceive of bankruptcy. Under “Higher Law” this is always what happens when the pressure reaches the point that resistance is overcome. The crown jewel of America is Crater Lake. Six thousand years ago Crater Lake was the caldron of a volcanic eruption 40 times as great as the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. There is a groundswell building that is going to break and sweep the world. The old, in nature’s process, is going to be replaced with the new, once again proving that “Higher Law” always in the end prevails.
I dreaded the inevitable change that was coming in my life. I desperately looked for a way to avoid it. To me, it was the end of my world. When I was at rock bottom, forced to jump into an unknown future, on my own I found who I really was, and found my path of destiny. All my dreams came true.
This comment today on my blog “My Miracle Message” on my Web site www.mymiraclemessage.com/?p=75 “A lot of the things you say happens to be surprisingly precise and that makes me wonder why I hadn’t looked at this with this light before. This particular piece really did turn the light on for me as far as this specific topic goes. Nevertheless at this time there is just one factor I am not really too comfortable with and whilst I try to reconcile that with the central idea of your issue, let me see what all the rest of the subscribers have to point out. Nicely done.

Thanks for all the time you take in making this brilliant blog ! ok,cheers Julie.
It all started for me when I read America’s Constitution and felt that voices of the past were speaking to me. From then on voices of the past have spoken—well not actually, but figuratively. By blogs are the result. The miracle of it is that they resonate with others in a very positive way. Astrologers say that from the standpoint of the original pattern of man, how you feel as you go through life relates archetypically—how you naturally uplift people, to give you some good information as you try to find out what your spiritual mission is.
I don’t think that starting over is such a bad idea. Welcome to the Age of Aquarius.

Those who advocate on behalf on illegal aliens have argued that America simply cannot do without the 12-20 million illegals squatting in our midst.
“Who will pick our fruit?” “Who will mow our lawns, who will wash our cars, clean our lavatories, etc. ,” they rant.
However, things are dramatically different when it comes to illegal alien Jose Anthony Vargas, the Filipino criminal who has lived and lied in America for 18 years.
Rather than asking “Who will pick our fruit?” moon bats arguing for Vargas are crying, “Who will write our Pulitzer Prize winning news stories and articles?”
Apparently, fears of a devastating shortfall of Pulitzer Prize quality writers has driven rule of law skeptics like David Leopold to the edge of insanity with remarks like those below:
“MANILA, Philippines – An official of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) thinks it is highly unlikely that Filipino Pulitzer Prize winner Jose Antonio Vargas will be deported.
David Leopold said, “Jose Vargas is the kind of person that we want in America.”
A lying, cheating criminal who has ignored our immigration laws for 20 years is the sort of bloke that America wants?
Please, the insanity of that is just too much!
To be fair, Vargas does have one thing going for him: He is not an impoverished, unskilled Latino who simply jumped a border fence in Arizona.
Other than that, Vargas is just as despicable and UNWANTED in America as any other illegal alien who cleans toilets or operates a leaf blower eight hours a day!
The simple fact is that Vargas and all of the other 12-20 million invaders come from cultures and societies inferior to American institutions, which means that screening out undesirables is not only preferable, but is, in fact, mandatory.
Still, legal migration to America is available to folks like Vargas.
There exists a path to citizenship that involves examining one’s background for evidence of criminal behavior, for medical exams to determine health status, for determining ability to live independently without becoming a burden on taxpayers, for ties to drug cartels and terrorists, and other inquiry to determine worthiness to join our American family.
This process applies to all would be immigrants, even those who claim to possess Pulitzer Prize writing skills.
Yes, the legal immigration process is exacting and discriminatory, which it must be to protect the interests of American citizens.
America’s immigration laws exist to protect American citizens, not to mine for Pulitzer Prize prospects, grape pickers, or car washers.
Jose Antonio Vargas deserves to be arrested and deported immediately, just like any other criminal invader!
