Cheney and Congressional Leaders React to Obama's National Security Policy Connie Hair
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s idea of a successful strategy to combat terrorism appears to include relying on a faulty detonator and a scene out of Moulin Rouge complete with a flying Dutchman hurling himself at the exploding terrorist.
Radicalization is alive and well in the U.S. By Doug Hagmann
As initially reported by this investigator on Canada Free Press and the Northeast Intelligence Network, authorities have been investigating U.S. links to Muslim terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. As detailed in our update posted at 9:00 pm ET on December 25, 2009, we were the first to report that federal investigators were interviewing at least three other individuals said to be in the Detroit area in relation to this bombing plot.
Transparency: Man reviewing intel center also created and ran it BY ED MORRISSEY
In the wake of the botched terror attack on Christmas Day, Barack Obama promised a thorough investigation into why American intelligence did not “connect the dots,” allowing Umar Abdulmutallab to board a plane from Amsterdam to Detroit. The focus will fall in large part on the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) and the use of watch lists that are supposed to prevent terrorists from boarding flights and entering the country. However, the man chosen to run the probe, John Brennan, is also the man who designed the watch-list system and ran the NCTC

ObamaCare Corrupt Deal Shows Need to Amend the Speech and Debate Clause by Mark J. Fitzgibbons
Several state attorneys general have been asked, or plan, to investigate the deal struck by Senator Ben Nelson to permanently exempt Nebraska from paying Medicaid expenses in exchange for his voting for Obamacare.

EVEN MORE Harry Reid Obamacare Bribes Leaking Out
In the end what gave Harry Reid his 60 Obamacare votes were the secret bribes democratic leadership made to "convince" people from his own party to vote for cloture. The most significant of the "bennies" was the one which convinced Ben Nelson to switch from being pro-life to pro-choice. Nelson managed to win a share of the section of the manager's amendment on Equitable Support for Certain States, which will provide Nebraska, along with Massachusetts and Vermont, support in paying its share of additional costs to Medicaid in the health legislation.
Not all of that pork went to members of the Senate the Harry Reid bill also has some special gifts for the organizations that played along with the Democrat's push to take over health care. Those "rewards" were added to the managers markup issued a scant few days before the bill was voted on. Those gifts are finally being discovered and its not pretty.
Voter Opposition To Obamacare Continues to GROW
Christmas vacation has not softened America's opposition to Obamacare, in fact according to Rasmussen voter opposition to the Health Care legislation making its way through congress is is now at its highest point 58%.
Despite what the Obamacare apologists suggest, votes have a decent understanding of the bills and voter attitudes towards them have hardened.
While several individual components of the plan are popular, reminding voters of what’s included in the plan has virtually no impact on support for the overall legislation. This suggests that there are not major surprises in the legislation that will cause people to change their opinion of it.
The new figures include only 19% who strongly favor the plan and 46% who strongly oppose it.
Control of Climate Policies by Unaccountable Bureaucracies; The Canadian Example By Dr. Tim Ball
CanadaFreePress published some of this article a few years ago but few saw it because it was quickly pulled after I received a legal threat I was financially unable to fight. Legal threats to silence people are a common practice of supporters of human caused global warming. I related my experience to Dr Fred Singer and he immediately named the lawyer. How did he know? He and others had received threats from the same lawyer.
The threats are part of personal attacks and other tactics perpetrated by nasty web sites like Desmogblog, organized by James Hoggan, Chairman of the Board of the David Suzuki Foundation. William Connolley perpetuated many of the smears through his control of climate entries on Wikipedia. We now know those who were attacked were viewed as real threats by the CRU gang and their supporters at Realclimate.
Obama's Only Real Accomplishment Daniel Greenfield
Let's get it straight, behind all the hubbub and noise, the international trips and summits, the TV specials and constant addresses to the nation and any other nation that would let him in, the huge spending plans and the photoshoots-- Barack Hussein Obama has accomplished only one thing in his first year in office.
Obama's only real accomplishment is that he took hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer money, and directed them to his donors on Wall Street, in the unions and the insurance industry. Barry Hussein took in nearly 15 million dollars in donations from securities and investments companies, and his first priority was to pay it back with a massive bailout that has exploded the deficit.
As the number one recipient of funds from securities and investments companies, Obama made sure they were paid off first. In exchange for a mere 14 million dollars, the industry received as much as a hundred thousand times that much from the government. And we aren't done yet. And that is even without counting Cap and Trade, a plan set to enrich certain key Wall Street backers of Obama and the Democratic party, at the expense of the last remaining shreds of America's manufacturing sector.
And then there were the unions. Not only did Obama keep the UAW around through the effective bailout and takeover of GM and Chrysler, but his next priority was delivering the SEIU's health care plan. And while the SEIU appears to have lost out on the public option, unlike the AFL-CIO which has turned on the bill, SEIU President Andrew Stern is still expressing his support for Obama.

2009 Chickens and Their 2010 Roost By Victor Davis Hanson
In the coming year, plenty of our chickens will be coming home to roost.
Take foreign relations. In 2009, the new administration assumed that George W. Bush was largely responsible for global tensions. As a remedy, we loudly reached out to our foes and those with whom we had uneasy relationships.
But so far these leaders — like Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Russia's Vladimir Putin — have only interpreted Barack Obama's serial goodwill gestures as weaknesses to be exploited. They play the part of the pushy class bully, we the whiny nerd.
Abbas sponsors birthday celebrations honoring "Martyr" Dalal Mughrabi, killer of 37
Square in Ramallah named after Dalal Mughrabi by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
This week Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas once again honored the memory of the terrorist Dalal Mughrabi - this time by sponsoring a ceremony celebrating the 50th anniversary of her birth. Mughrabi led the worst terror attack in Israel's history in 1978, when she and other terrorists hijacked a bus and killed 37 civilians. Present at the ceremony were Palestinian dignitaries and a children's marching band. Earlier this year, Abbas sponsored a computer center named after Mughrabi.
The PA further glorified Mughrabi on the date of her birth when the Governor of Ramallah announced the naming of the "Dalal Mughrabi Square".
An article by Fatah spokesman Jamal Nazal in the official PA daily defined the terrorist Mughrabi as "the heroine of Palestine's heroines."
Report: 1,200 smuggling tunnels into Gaza
Egyptian state newspaper al-Ahram reported on Saturday of the Hamas smuggling tunnel industry in Gaza. According to the report, some 1,200 tunnels operate on the border between Egypt and the Strip, with the costs of digging out each tunnel reaching some $50,000.
But the high costs of digging the tunnels are evened out with the first smuggling, as the tunnels are rented out either on a daily or hourly basis, or based on a number of smugglings.
The paper's report is based on notes by its reporter which visited the Egyptian side of the border town of Rafah. The report came following Hamas' criticism of Egypt's plans to build a steel fence along the border in order to put an end to the tunnels.
In recent weeks there have been a number of shooting incidents at Egyptian workers building the new obstacle.
According to the report, digging smuggling tunnels has become a real profession for many Gazans. Some 70,000 residents of the Strip take part in the digging, and each tunnel can reap a profit of up to half a million dollars.

Eye On Iran: Iran Opposition Leaders Face Threat of Prosecution

Unhealthy Arrogance By Thomas Sowell
Obamacare is about the president’s ego and his chance to impose his will.
The only thing healthy about Congress’s health-insurance legislation is the healthy skepticism about it shown by most of the public, as revealed by polls. What is most unhealthy about this legislation is the raw arrogance in the way it was conceived and passed.
Supporters of government health insurance call its passage “historic.” Past attempts to pass such legislation — going back for decades — failed repeatedly. But now both houses of Congress have passed government-health-care legislation and it is just a question of reconciling their respective bills and presenting President Obama with a political victory.
In short, this is not about improving the health of the American people. It is about passing something — anything — to keep the Obama administration from ending up with egg on its face by being unable to pass a bill, after so much hype and hoopla. Politically, looking impotent is a formula for disaster at election time. Far better to pass even bad legislation that will not actually go into effect until after the 2012 presidential election, so that the public will not know whether it makes medical care better or worse until it is too late for the voters to hold the administration accountable.
Yemen permits wanted al Qaeda leaders to operate in the open By BILL ROGGIO
Even as the US has stepped up cooperation with Yemen in targeting al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, known terrorists wanted by the US government continue to operate in the open while the Yemeni government looks the other way.
The US has increased military and intelligence support to the weak Yemeni government and President Ali Abdullah Saleh over the past several months as al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has grown more bold. The terror group has been plotting to target the Yemeni state as well as US and other foreign targets inside and outside Yemen, according to US intelligence officials.

Candidates face ultimatum: Kill Obamacare, or else ...
'Americans have to pull this weed out by its roots' By Chelsea Schilling
Tea-party leaders are delivering a bold ultimatum to all congressional candidates in 2010: Pledge to repeal the health-care reform bill in its entirety if it passes – or you will be booted from office.
FreedomWorks Press Secretary Adam Brandon told WND the message couldn't be any clearer. Asked whether he believes the tea party movement will seek to oust politicians who refuse to repeal the legislation, he emphatically declared, "Absolutely."
Minnesota University Wants K-12 Teachers to Hate America by Kyle Olson
We’re accustomed to strange political phenomena rising out of Minnesota.
We can accept the occasional Jesse Ventura or Al Franken winning statewide office, because the state’s voters obviously like to be different.
But we doubt even the most offbeat citizens of that state would approve of the new K-12 teacher education program that’s been proposed for the University of Minnesota’s Twin Cities campus.
While the rest of the nation is trying to force teachers to help our children reach their potential, the university’s College of Education and Human Development wants to make sure future teachers are more anti-American, so they can share that philosophy with their future students.
We couldn’t even begin to make something like this up.
A Decade and Its Three Crises By Sammy Benoit
When we look back at the decade 2000-2009, we may well define it by three crises: the crisis that didn't happen, the crisis that wasn't supposed to happen, and the crisis that we don't realize is happening. We haven't learned the lessons of the first two, and our ignorance of the third may doom us to be slaves to our government, rather than the other way around.
The Left is out to get Israel Pilar Rahola
The struggle of Israel, even if the world doesn’t want to accept it, is the struggle of the world.
Pilar Rahola is a Spanish politician, journalist and activist. She is a passionate defender of the United States and Israel and an indefatigable fighter against anti-Semitism. All these despite being ideologically from the left. Her articles are published in Spain and throughout some of the most important newspapers in Latin America. She is the recipient of major awards by Jewish organizations.
Why don’t we see demonstrations against Islamic dictatorships in London, Paris, Barcelona? Or demonstrations against the Burmese dictatorship? Why aren’t there demonstrations against the enslavement of millions of women who live without any legal protection? Why aren’t there demonstrations against the use of children as human bombs where there is conflict with Islam? Why has there been no leadership in support of the victims of Islamic dictatorship in Sudan? Why is there never any outrage against the acts of terrorism committed against Israel? Why is there no outcry by the European left against Islamic fanaticism? Why don’t they defend Israel’s right to exist? Why confuse support of the Palestinian cause with the defense of Palestinian terrorism? An finally, the million dollar question:Why is the left in Europe and around the world obsessed with the two most solid democracies, the United States and Israel, and not with the worst dictatorships on the planet? The two most solid democracies, who have suffered the bloodiest attacks of terrorism, and the left doesn’t care.
And then, to the concept of freedom. In every pro Palestinian European forum I hear the left yelling with fervor: “We want freedom for the people!” Not true. They are never concerned with freedom for the people of Syria or Yemen or Iran or Sudan, or other such nations. And they are never preoccupied when Hamas destroys freedom for the Palestinians. They are only concerned with using the concept of Palestinian freedom as a weapon against Israeli freedom. The resulting consequence of these ideological pathologies is the manipulation of the press. .....
How Far Apart Are the Contractions? by Heidi Swander
It was Jesus Himself, who made it quite plain that we should "discern the signs of the times"
And Jesus told His disciples regarding the run up to the end of the age, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled, for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows" (Matt. 24:6-8). The word translated "sorrows" in this context means "birth pangs." And what do we know about birth pangs?
THE LORENZ AFFIDAVIT
A lot of lies and libel have been tossed around the Rifqa Bary case to obscure the true nature of the case - apostasy.
The strategy of hate sponsor and un-indicted co-conspirator CAIR, their appointed lawyer for Rifqa's parents, Omar Tarazi, and the NOOR mosque is to remove Islam from the equation and demonize Christianity -- and those around Rifqa who love her and helped her escape.
Recently the background story on Rifqa running away and getting to Florida blew up with accusations flying. Of course the Islamic machine mines such divisions.
Much has been said of Pastor Blake Lorenz and his wife Beverly, who took Rifqa in when she made her desperate escape from the devout Muslim household. The Islamic machine has tried to cast the good deed of the Lorenzes in their demonic light.
Meredith hijabed Heagney, a useful, shameless moll in the service of CAIR, gave Brian Smith of Blake Lorenz's former church full court press on his affidavit. Smith contended that the Lorenzes "ignored warnings" not to take Rifqa in. Blake Lorenz states adamantly that is absolutely not so.
Brian Smith provided the affidavit to Omar Tarazi, Rifqa's parents' attorney, upon request.
Further, what I find so disturbing, is that the police officer Blake spoke with said he knew her life was in danger and stated that the department officials had talked to several of her friends. They knew all along.
Here is the affidavit from Blake Lorenz himself, clarifying what happened and refuting the charges of a duplicitous Brian Smith (more on that here.) The facts as stated here by Blake Lorenz are astounding.
Weakening Islamism is Vital to Improve US Image in the Muslim world
By Tawfik Hamid
In the December 1, 2009 issue of the WSJ Europe, Fouad Ajami - in an Op-Ed entitled "The Arabs Have Stopped Applauding Obama" - argued that President Obama's diplomatic approach to win the hearts and minds of the Muslim world has not been successful. Poll results have shown that unfavorable views of the US are as high as 82%, 69 %, and 70% in the Palestinian territories, Turkey, and Egypt respectively. In fact, the Op-Ed stated that unfavorable views of the US in Pakistan have risen from 63% in 2008 to 68% in 2009 according to a recent Pew survey.
In addition, after President Obama came to office in 2009, the number of home-grown Islamist terror plots inside the US has risen dramatically compared to the previous years. The Year of 2009 represents the highest level of domestic home-grown Islamic radicalism in the US since 2001.
We must question why President Obama's approach with the Muslim world has not succeeded yet in at least having a more positive effect in improving the US image in several Muslim countries or in decreasing the rate of home-grown Islamic radicalism on the home front. One of the main reasons for this lack of success is that US strategic communications with the Muslim world was largely based on the assumption that the problem of Islamic Radicalism and hatred to America is primarily because of the US foreign policy with the Muslim world and thus changing this policy will change the latter. This can only work if the main problem was in the US approach; however, if the main problem was in the Muslim world, such an approach cannot succeed as it will be like trying to change the keys to open a room while the problem is in the rusty lock! In the latter situation, changing the lock - or in other words changing the Muslim world itself - is crucial to solving the problem.
Intel Report: Iran Seeking to Smuggle Raw Uranium
VIENNA (AP) -- Iran is close to clinching a deal to clandestinely import 1,350 tons of purified uranium ore from Kazakhstan, according to an intelligence report obtained by The Associated Press. The assessment is heightening international concern about Tehran's nuclear activities, diplomats said.

Garbage In, Garbage Out: EPA Models on Cap-and-Raid So Flawed That Obama Ag Secretary Forced to Issue Statement Distancing His Department from Study. Washington Times (12/29) reports, “Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has ordered his staff to revise a computerized forecasting model that showed that climate legislation supported by President Obama would make planting trees more lucrative than producing food. The latest Agriculture Department economic-impact study of the climate bill, which passed the House this summer, found that the legislation would profit farmers in the long term. But those profits would come mostly from higher crop prices as a result of the legislation's incentives to plant more forests and thus reduce the amount of land devoted to food-producing agriculture. Mr. Vilsack, in a little-noticed statement issued with the report earlier this month, said the department's forecasts "have caused considerable concern" among farmers and ranchers. "If landowners plant trees to the extent the model suggests, this would be disruptive to agriculture in some regions of the country," he said.
Obama gives foreign cops new police powers in U.S. By Bob Unruh
Sovereignty apparently set aside as agency exempted from law
A little-discussed executive order from President Obama giving foreign cops new police powers in the United States by exempting them from such drudgery as compliance with the Freedom of Information Act is raising alarm among commentators who say INTERPOL already had most of the same privileges as diplomats.
At David Horowitz's Newsreal, Michael van der Galien said the issue is Obama's expansion of President Ronald Reagan's order from 1983 that originally granted those diplomatic privileges.
Reagan's order carried certain exemptions requiring that INTERPOL operations be subject to several U.S. laws such as the Freedom of Information Act. Obama, however, removed those restrictions in his Dec. 16 amendment to Executive Order 12425.
That means, van der Galien wrote today, "this foreign law enforcement organization can operate free of an important safeguard against government and abuse."
The Great Lie of the Nanny State: Government Works by Bryce Shonka
Many of us, after years of indoctrination at our government schools, were left with a sense that there is a great government force working hard every day to protect us and look after our best interest. We were told that government standards keep us safe from disease, that government highway regulations keep us safe from car accidents, that federal agencies make sure that the food we eat will be healthy.
The result of all of this? Americans everywhere drive more carelessly, do not research what they put on their plate and take medications that leave them sicker, rather than healthier.
For government officials, free from the scrutiny of the free market and any sort of competition, they typically have one primary goal once they have obtained their coveted position of power- to retain that power and gain even more. This is a simple fact of human nature, that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
A great example is the Food and Drug Administration, which after obtaining the confidence of the republic’s masses has been responsible for regular introduction of medications that maim and even kill those who trust it’s oversight. This is hardly surprising when one considers that many FDA regulators were installed after terms as drug company lobbyists. Likewise, Federal officials entrusted with America’s food supply have allowed the greatest food experiment in the history of mankind- the use of Genetically Modified crops.
The dangers of this veil of protection not only enables Americans to become ignorant, mindless sheep but also allows the growth of power, as recently seen with the Federal forays into finance and medical care.
Those who seek the protective hand of big brother pay a high price as they trust their quality of life to a largely self serving group of legislators. If the goal is a better quality of life, the solution is simple: more responsibility and less government involvement.
What the Terrorists are Truly Afraid of By Daniel Greenfield **** Must Read!
Religious, political and financial backers of the terrorist war against the West not only get a pass, but a bow from Obama
If the passengers of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 survived their flight to return home to their families, like veterans returning home from war they are a reminder of all those who did not survive, and all those who will not survive in a more successful attack.
But their failures mean little in the bigger picture. Reid and Abdulmutallab are only two of the hundreds of thousands of Muslim men drawn from around the world to participate in one of its many Jihads against America, England, Russia, Israel or India. To devout Muslims the entire world is a battlefield, a map dotted in red and green. And for every Abdulmutallab who fails, there is a Nidal Malik Hasan who succeeds in killing his targets. Because as long as we keep fighting a holding action against the tide of Jihadis swarming from the Middle East, Africa and Asia, the terrorists only need to be lucky once, we need to be lucky every time. And we know what we won’t be. That not every flight will land safely on the airfield. Not every group of passengers will disembark shaking with relief. The terrorists only need to be lucky once.
Frank Gaffney in Newsmax: Freeze Gitmo Now
ABC News reports that “Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al-Qaida plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November, 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents.”
If true, any further action to close the state-of-the-art detention facility popularly known as Gitmo and transfer its occupants elsewhere – particularly to Yemen – must be suspended at once. Should President Obama fail to do so, such direction must be adopted by Congress, possibly followed with a resolution of impeachment.
According to Defense Department records cited by ABC, these two terrorists were Saudi nationals, Muhamad Attik al-Harbi (Guantanamo prisoner #333) and Said Ali Shari (prisoner #372). They were released from Gitmo on November 9, 2007 by the George W. Bush administration and sent to Saudi Arabia, “where they entered into an ‘art therapy rehabilitation program.’” Afterwards, according to U.S. and Saudi officials, “they were set free.”
Al-Harbi subsequently changed his name to Muhamad al-Awfi. ABC reported: “Both Saudi nationals have since emerged in leadership roles in Yemen, according to U.S. officials and the men's own statements on al Qaeda propaganda tapes.
Radical Muslims push Kaufman case to Texas Supreme Court
Radical Muslims are using our court system to try to silence those who expose their terrorist connections. They've done it in Europe and Canada - and now they're trying it here in America.
In the case of investigative reporter Joe Kaufman, they're not giving up - even though their case is completely bogus. After two years of defending Joe, we are now facing yet another challenge. I'm writing to you as a member of the Freedom Center to ask you to help pay for Joe's defense. Seven Muslim groups claim that Joe is a threat. They convinced a court that Joe "intends to threaten to take unlawful action...cause bodily injury...or threaten Plaintiffs or their members with immediate bodily injury.
America’s Drone War In Yemen: Al-Jazeera’s Take by Andrew Marcus
This fascinating news segment produced by al-Jazeera (aka Jihad TV) highlights how the US drone war in Yemen has inspired a renewed front in the Jihad against America.
This report is interesting because even as it parrots the Jihad narrative, it provides more in depth background information and perspective on American, Saudi, and Iranian involvement in Yemen than anything we have seen from just about any US “news” outlet.
What a sad comment on the state of US/Western media, that “Jihad TV” is a better source of information pertinent to this aspect of the world war we are engaged in.
Ponzi Schemer Rothstein and the Democrats by Roger Stone
Much is being made of the fact that mini-Madoff Scott Rothstein, the Fort Lauderdale lawyer who the government and his victims claim ran a $1.2 Billion Ponzi scam in South Florida was a major fundraiser for Republicans John McCain, Governor Charlie Crist, Senator John Ensign and the Republican Party of Florida.
Dem FL Gov Candidate Alex Sink and Rothstein, her "Judicial Nominating Committee"
What the media has missed is that Rothstein switched to the Democrats after McCain’s loss, giving to Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and endorsing Florida Democratic candidate for Governor Alex Sink while giving the Florida Democratic Party $200,000.
Dino protein denial by David Catchpoole
These photos are of a 2005 T.rex soft tissue find by Dr Mary Schweitzer—see Still Soft and Stretchy.
Left: The flexible branching structures in the T. rex bone were justifiably identified as “blood vessels”. Soft tissues like blood vessels should not be there if the bones were 65 million years old.
Right: These microscopic structures were able to be squeezed out of some of the blood vessels, and can be seen to “look like cells”, paralleling this latest report of the North Dakota hadrosaur. So once again there is scope for Dr Schweitzer to ask the same question she asked over a decade ago (see Dinosaur bone blood cells found), “How could these cells last for 65 million years?”
Discoveries of soft tissue and proteins in dinosaur remains are unacceptable to many scientists. That’s because if dinosaurs have been extinct for 65 million years, as evolutionary dogma teaches, then cells and even proteins should have decayed long ago.
That view can radically affect how researchers view the evidence.
For example, electron microscopy and X-ray imaging of a well-preserved hadrosaur (“duck-billed” dinosaur) fossil unearthed in North Dakota revealed what was described as “cell-like structures comparable to those of living vertebrates”.1
Note that University of Manchester researchers Phil Manning and Roy Wogelius were unwilling at that stage to call them “cells”. But subsequent analysis of the hadrosaur skin and a claw found amino acids (constituents of proteins) “suggesting that the cell-like structures were indeed cells”.
The blatant evolutionary bias of the researchers is highlighted by their reaction to their findings
NOTE: Scientific Fraud covers much more than Climategate!! It streches from gradeschool teachers to top Scientific laboratories! You have a God-given brain, USE it when you read their reports!!!
Abbas and PA turn latest terrorist murderers into Palestinian national heroes by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook
Rabbi Meir Avshalom Hai -- a 45-year old Israeli and father of seven children - was killed in a drive-by shooting last Thursday. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, part of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement, took responsibility for the killing. On Friday night, Israeli forces located and killed three of the terrorists involved in the attack. The fourth surrendered to the PA police.
The response of the PA has been unequivocal support and backing for the terrorists. Since Friday, the leadership of the PA, the heads of Fatah, the heads of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades and the PA-controlled media have continuously portrayed the killers as Palestinian heroes and Shahids -- holy Martyrs -- while describing Israel's killing of the three terrorists as "murder in cold blood" and "assassination."
Jihadists: 'Kidnap Zionist and American Soldiers' to Free Gaza by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz
(IsraelNN.com) International jihadist elements have called for abducting Israelis and Americans in the Middle East in order to hold them hostage until the isolation of Hamas-controlled Gaza is ended.
Researchers from the Institute of Terrorism Research and Response (ITRR) said last week that continuing electronic Islamist chatter included a new call for jihad fighters worldwide "to stand up alongside your brothers in Gaza." Specifically addressing "the lions of Iraq" and Palestinian Authority Muslims, a tactical discussion in jihadist forums focused on abduction: "Kidnap Zionist soldiers or American soldiers in Iraq, and release them only on condition that the closure be lifted from Gaza."
ITRR added that there is, in fact, an increased threat of kidnapping terror operations in areas of Israel and Egypt in close proximity to Gaza and the Palestinian Authority areas, as well as in Iraq. Especially vulnerable as targets for abduction or attack, ITRR said, are people travelling in vehicles with markings indicating Western companies or organizations.
Chief Jewish Rabbis in Israel: Abortion Delays Coming of Messiah, Back Pro-Life by Steven Ertelt
The top two Jewish rabbis in Israel sent a letter on Monday to their colleagues denouncing abortion. They said that abortion kills thousands of Israeli babies a year and delays the coming of the Messiah and they promised to do more to promote pro-life and pregnancy help efforts.
Rabbis Yona Metzger and Shlomo Amarsent a letter yesterday to all of the state-employed Jewish rabbis saying they would "strengthen" the efforts of the pro-life council in the rabbinate to help reduce abortions.
The letter says "the vast majority of abortions are unnecessary and Halacha severely prohibits them" and says as many as 50,000 abortions are done annually in Israel.
They Jewish leaders also said abortions "delay the redemption" by postponing the coming of the Messiah.
Netanyahu versus Einstein by Paul Eidelberg
In a message honoring the heroes of the Warsaw ghetto, Albert Einstein declared:
The Germans as an entire people are responsible for the mass murders and must be punished as a people if there is justice in the world and if the consciousness of collective responsibility in the nations is not to perish from the earth entirely. Behind the Nazi party stands the German people, who elected Hitler after he had in his book [Mein Kampf] and in his speeches made his shameful [genocidal] intentions clear beyond the possibility of misunderstanding.
The Constitution of the Palestinian Authority calls for “The complete liberation of Palestine and the economic, political, military and cultural elimination of Zionism.” Only fools would fail to see in these words the genocidal objective of the Palestinian Authority. Is not the meaning of this Arab imperative “clear beyond the possibility of misunderstanding”?
Did not the Palestinian Arabs repeatedly hear Yasser Arafat chanting Jihad against Israel and elect him as their Fuhrer? But then, should they not be held collectively responsible for the brutal murder and maiming of more than 10,000 Jews perpetrated by their government, now headed by Arafat’s successor, Mahmoud Abbas? And should they not be punished, as Einstein said of the German people, “if there is justice in the world and if the consciousness of collective responsibility in the nations is not to perish from the earth entirely”?
Is it not clear beyond the possibility of misunderstanding that the Palestinians have used Arab children as human bombs to butcher Jewish men, women, and children?
Is it not clear beyond the possibility of misunderstanding that Palestinians have taught generation after generation of Arab children to hate Jews and exalt those who kill them?
Yet Prime Minister Netanyahu would reward these Palestinians with statehood!
Albert Einstein was a gentle man, very much inclined to pacifism. But above and beyond his desire for peace was his desire for justice.

For that act, Liu has earned himself an 11-year sentence, and unfortunately for Liu, in the Chinese penal system that means hard labor. Let’s have another communist [...]

Obama's nuclear stance at issue By Paul Richter
President Barack Obama's ambitious plan to begin phasing out nuclear weapons has run up against powerful resistance from officials in the Pentagon and other U.S. agencies, posing a threat to one of his most important foreign policy initiatives.
Engineers, Scientific and Social By Jim Gammon & Admiral Ben Moreell
On January 14, 1953, the chairman of Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. spoke at the annual meeting of the Society of Automotive Engineers in Detroit. He was Admiral Ben Moreell, and in 1953, most people in the audience would have known him as a founder and leader of the Seabees -- the U.S. Navy component that built the docks, the airports, and just about everything else our military forces needed to fight and win World War II, often working under fire.
The speech Moreell gave that day is quite simply stunning. It is among the most remarkable talks about human nature, and the nature of government, ever delivered by anyone, anywhere. It rises above politics, as all serious discussions on human life ought to (but lately do not).
Although written more than fifty years ago, it is relevant today -- maybe even more so. You be the judge. While he never mentions politics, this is a must-read for every Conservative and a challenge to the foundations of every Liberal.
These social engineers - who appear to be more numerous and, at the moment, far more powerful, than we scientific engineers - are dedicated to the thesis that, by using the force of government, mankind in the mass can be changed and molded to conform to a master plan, in much the same way that engineering materials can be processed in accordance with preconceived designs. .........

Flight 253 and Counterterror’s Epic Fail – by Robert Spencer
As far as the DHS and Janet Napolitano are concerned, the Flight 253 incident is a massive and unmitigated disaster, showing the complete and abject failure of their anti-terror policies across the board. The Flight 253 attempted jihad attack shows that the American response to jihad terrorism has failed not just in one detail or a single area. Rather, the failure is massive, comprehensive, all-encompassing. The anti-terror approach adopted since 9/11 is not working, and is never going to work. Until it is scrapped, there will be many, many more incidents like the one on Flight 253. But rather than have the decency to admit the truth, the DHS chief is putting on a brave face and pretending that up is down and down is up. And the President keeps golfing.
Clown alert: Janet Napolitano says the “system worked” By Michelle Malkin
It has been, in the words of Queen Elizabeth II, an “annus horribilis” for DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.
Beginning with her embrace of the impotent euphemism “man-caused disasters” to the hit job on conservatives and veterans that she was forced to apologize for, to her assertion that crossing the border illegally “isn’t a crime per se”, to her boneheaded claim that 9/11 terrorists came in through the Canadian border, Ja-No has confirmed time and again that she’s not ready for prime time.
Today, she caps off her horrible year by playing Big Pollyanna in the wake of the Flight 254. The botched bombing — foiled by a faulty detonator and brave passengers, not by homeland security bureaucrats or any preemptive measures by intel officials — shows that the in Ja-No’s fantasy world.

US Neo-Nazi Lure Youth with Free Music Downloads by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
(IsraelNN.com) American neo-Nazis are using deceptive free music downloads to lure youth and college students into anti-Semitism, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of the B’Nai Brith organization. It said the new tactics specifically target high school and college students through advertisements in school newspapers.
“While the hate mongers have used stealth tactics before, now they are taking it to the next level by attempting to trick unsuspecting students into logging onto sites that appear harmless, but in reality are promoting music with a white supremacist message,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director.
A scheme for free music downloads was advertised in newspapers by Montana resident Kevin McGuire, who operates the Victory Forever racist website. McGuire tricked the school papers by changing his site when he placed ads offering music by independent artists, but after the ads were published, he returned the site to its usual white supremacist format.
The Victory Forever site claims to disseminate “white resistance” music as widely as possible and to “recruit vast minions of white youth to become soldiers in the war for white racial survival.” Its current site features a video of a diatribe against alleged Jewish control of mass media.
China Targets Political Foes After Dissident Trial

BEIJING—A senior Chinese police official has vowed "pre-emptive attacks" against threats to Communist Party control, in a speech published days after the nation's most prominent dissident was jailed for criticising the Party.
Vice Minister for Public Security Yang Huanning said the government faced undiminished risks to control, despite fast economic growth, according to the official Xinhua news agency.
In a speech on Dec. 18 to security officials, published only on Monday, Yang singled out perceived threats from political foes of the ruling Communist Party, including separatist sentiment in the border regions of Tibet and Xinjiang.
"The schemes of Western anti-China forces seeking to Westernise and split us, friction and disputes between countries, and hostile forces stirring up chaos and sabotage ... remain major factors affecting our national security and social stability," Yang said in his address.

Lieberman Makes it Clear: ‘No to Oslo Illusion and Fantasy' by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
(IsraelNN.com) Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman enhanced his reputation for straight talk Sunday when he told Israeli diplomats “to get the message across very clearly that the Palestinian Authority is not prepared to reach an agreement with Israel." He also said that if Syria wants peace, it can hold direct talks with Jerusalem without Turkish mediation.
In the first-ever meeting with Israeli diplomats stationed around the world, the tough-talking Foreign Minister called the Oslo peace accords an "illusion" that Israel "sold to Europe and the United States." He added, "It is easy to sell illusions and fantasies."
Lieberman told the diplomats, "We have to stop thinking that the whole world is involved with us. It has many other problems and challenges besides the PA-Israeli struggle. We need to ask ourselves, ‘What are the chances of reaching a peace agreement with the PA?’ We have done everything, more than any other country would do. The problem is not Israel’s; it is the PA’s willingness. Even if we return to the 1967 borders, there will not be an end to the conflict. Even if we divide Jerusalem, nothing will change -- we will be in the same situation as today."
A Tale of Two Gazas: Website Pictures Deny ‘Humanitarian Crisis’ by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
(IsraelNN.com) The Arabic-language PalToday website, based in Gaza, recently posted pictures showing a world of plenty for residents, despite more than two years of reports that the area is suffering from a humanitarian crisis. However, its English website for foreign audiences showed a picture of misery, focusing on a girl who wanted her terrorist father freed by Israel.
The pictures on the Arabic-language site were posted for the Eid al Adha Muslim festival, which recalls the forefather Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son, who the Bible states was Isaac. The Muslim tradition substitutes him with Ishmael.
The pictures on the Arabic-language site are headlined with the caption, "Clothes for their children despite the siege,” referring to the partial blockade Israel placed on Gaza following the Hamas military coup more than two year ago.
Israel has allowed thousands of trucks, bearing tens of thousands of tons of food, goods and equipment into Gaza, but the United Nations has claimed several times that a humanitarian crisis is “imminent.”
PA Rewards Hamas and Fatah Terrorists for Long Jail Terms by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
(IsraelNN.com) The Palestinian Authority revealed on Sunday that it rewards both Hamas and Fatah terrorists with higher “salaries” for committing more serious terrorist attacks that are followed by convictions for long-term sentences in Israeli prison.
Most of the PA’s funds come from European Union countries, and the United States earlier this month, for the first time ever, included the PA in its foreign aid package with a $500 million grant. Twenty percent of the American money is earmarked for training the PA’s new army, under the guidance of American army General Keith Dayton.
FORT HOOD COMPARED TO ISRAEL
Israelis Baffled by News of Defenseless US Soldiers
Many Israelis want to know: why didn't the soldiers attacked by a U.S. Army major-turned-terrorist return fire?
When a Muslim goes, well, Muslim, in Israel he is typically shot to death by someone--say, a reserve soldier--within seconds of screaming "Allah Akbar."
In contrast with the Israeli experience, it took 10 minutes before a civilian police officer at Fort Hood was able to shoot and stop Muslim fanatic Nidal Malik Hasan.
How could that happen? How could so many people trained in the strategies and tactics of modern warfare be so defenseless?
The answer--and this may astonish many Americans--is that the victims were unarmed. U.S. soldiers are not allowed to carry guns for personal protection, even on a 340-acre base quartering more than 50,000 troops..
So it goes in brain-dead, liberal America.

Special editorial from Abdulameer
The "Nigerian" who attempted to blow up a plane
Did I miss it, or was there really no mention that this guy is a Moslem? Actually, it is perfectly obvious, but it should have been mentioned anyway because it is relevant. The Wall Street Journal reported that "Students called him "Alfa," a local name for an Islamic scholar." His own father warned authorities that his son "contacted us and expressed concerns about the radicalization of his son." "Radicalization"??? What does that mean? "Radicalization" means that the particular Moslem starts to take Islamic doctrine seriously. All his life he had been told by adult Moslems that the Koran is the literal word of Allah -- perfect, complete, immutable and valid for all of eternity. This was so, even if those adult Moslems, such as his father and many other secular Moslems, were not familiar with the contents of the Koran. "Radicalization" takes place when the Moslem reads the Koran and learns what Allah really wants him to do. Here are just a few of the things that a Moslem will learn Allah requires when he (or she) starts to read the Koran:
--“ the (only) religion (acceptable) before God is Islam." (3:19)
-- " If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him." (3: 85)
-- “You are the noblest community ever raised up for mankind.” (3:110)
-- The unbelievers among the people of the book and the pagans shall burn forever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures. (98.6).
-- Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve. (8.55)
--The unbelievers are your inveterate enemy. (4:101)
-- Mohammed is God's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another. (48:29).
-- It is unlawful for a believer to kill another believer, accidents excepted. (4:92)
-- Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. (5:51)
-- Make war on them until idolatry shall cease and God's religion shall reign supreme. (8:40)
-- Fight against them until idolatry is no more and God's religion reigns supreme. (2:193)
-- The true believers fight for the cause of God, but the infidels fight for the devil. (4:76)
-- We will put terror into the hearts of the unbelievers. (3:151)
-- I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers. (8:12)
This is the source of "radicalization"; and, as long as this violent and hate-filled book is taught and preached, there will be more "radicals". Most Moslems may not take the Koran seriously in practice, but there will always be many, many millions who do.
P.S. This case is just one more confirmation that Islamic terrorism has absolutely nothing to do with poverty and oppression. This Moslem "radical" was from the upper class, and he had a university education -- just like so many other Moslem terrorists.

The myth of the poor, oppressed jihadist By Michelle Malkin
The Independent of London has a piece up today on the wealthy, pampered lifestyle of would-be Christmas Day bomber Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab.
The Nigerian elite enginnering student studied at one of Britain’s leading universities, “lived a gilded life” and “stayed in a £2m flat.”
The Independent says Abdulmatallab’s privileged status is “surprising” — “a very different background to many of the other al-Qa’ida recruits who opt for martyrdom.”
Actually, there’s nothing surprising about it. The only surprise is that so many supposedly informed people — from British journalists to our own commander-in-chief — continue to perpetuate the myth of the poor, oppressed jihadist.
Abdulmutallab isn’t the first terrorist admitted to a Western institution of higher learning who spread fundamentalist Islam on campus.

Obama’s Real Report Card By Daniel Greenfield
F for Failure: Economy, Bipartisanship, War on Terror, International Relations

Seniors Are America's New Jews By Stuart Schwartz
They are objects of derision. Influential government officials refer to them as unproductive, of less value than others in society. The political party running the government aggressively denies them access to health services while putting in place bureaucracies devoted, in effect, to ending their lives.
The Jews in Nazi Germany? In the Soviet Union of Stalin? In a socialist paradise set up by the rabidly anti-Semitic United Nations? No...seniors in a United States governed by the party of President Barack Obama and his allies on the Democratic left.
The Democratic Senate health care bill makes it official: Seniors are America's new Jews.
An exaggeration? Yes and no. In no way do I wish to trivialize the horrific slaughter of Europe's Jewish population by the Nazis, nor the systematic oppression of Jews in history. However, Obama and the Democratic Party have embraced a worldview that allows them to go after seniors in much the same manner that tyrants (and the United Nations) have used Jew-bashing as a tool to accumulate power and steal wealth.
Seniors are the new go-to group for this radical president and Democratic congress as they pursue power, wealth, and the cultural transformation of the United States. Every version of the Democrat health care bill -- with all senate Republicans opposing this war against seniors -- relies on drastically reduced access to the services for which seniors have paid through taxes over a lifetime, or upon which they may choose to spend personal resources.
This Isn’t Good: 21st Century Looks Like a Replay of 20th by Publius
Martin Wolf, columnist for the great Financial Times, has a must-read column this weekend:
The only truly global power was in rapid relative decline. Not long before, it had won a pyrrhic victory in a costly colonial war. New great powers were on the rise. An arms race was under way, as was competition for markets and resources in undeveloped areas of the world. Yet people still believed in the durability of the free trade and free capital flows that had nurtured prosperity and, many believed, had also underpinned peace.
That was how the world looked to many at the end of the “noughties” of the 20th century. Yet catastrophe lay ahead: a world war; a communist revolution; a Great Depression; fascism; and then another world war. The world order – built on competing great powers, imperialism and liberal markets – proved incapable of providing the public goods of peace and prosperity. It took calamity, the cold war and the replacement of the UK by the US as hegemonic power to re-establish stability. That then facilitated decolonisation, unprecedented economic expansion, the collapse of communism and yet another epoch of market-led global integration. (more…)
Palin Rising by Matt Patterson
I have in the past been a skeptic of Sarah Palin. Not of her political talent, which is considerable, but of her grasp of – and even interest in – substantive policy issues.
When she abruptly resigned the governorship of Alaska on July 3rd, I wondered if she simply hadn’t the stomach for national politics. And the rambling, disjointed speech she gave that day left me wondering if she even knew why she was making such a momentous and potentially career-crippling decision.
But then a funny thing happened: In November, Mrs. Palin debuted her memoir “Going Rogue” with great sales, which was not a surprise, but also with a luminous and successful press tour, which was. The interviews she gave in promotion for her book (at least the ones that I saw) were much improved from those given during the 2008 presidential campaign. Palin seemed to speak about both herself and national issues with greater verve and confidence.
Other stars are aligning for Palin:
Ambassador Dore Gold: Consensus on Defensible Borders and United Jerusalem video
Islam: "Jews are Apes and Pigs" article & video
Yemenite Cleric Abd Al-Majid Al-Zindan explaining the Islamic view on Jews:
This shouldn't be a shock, since what he is saying is based upon Qur'anic verses and Islamic tradition. Islamic clerics and leaders spread this dehumanization of Jews throughout the world. As MEMRI explained, "associating Jews with apes, pigs, and other animals....is widespread in the Arab and Muslim world among both Shi'ites and Sunnis...and is firmly grounded in the most important Islamic religious sources, and also has roots in the folklore of other, ancient peoples. This idea has been used not only in religious writings but also in prose and fiction, both in the past and today."
Since those are the facts, why are so many Jews and Jewish organizations (like the ADL and AJC), on the front lines of defending Islam, despite its clear antisemitic views on Jews?
In Memory of Yitzhak Aharonowitz-The Story of His 1947 Ship "The Exodus"
This week Yitzhak Aharonowitz Captain of the Exodus passed away. As a tribute to this hero, below is real story of the the Famous Voyage (which is much different from the movie).
With the White Paper of 1939 the British caved into Arab pressure (that would never happen now--would it?) and severely limited the number of Jews that could enter what was then called Palestine.
During WW II it meant that they were causing the death of hundreds of thousands of Jews who could have escaped the Holocaust, had they a place that would take them in. After the Holocaust, many of Hitler's victims were trying to get in to the Holy Land. The British in their infinite wisdom threw these refugees back into camps this time on Cyprus.
Boris Agulnik was one of those refugees, he ended up on a ship called, The Exodus.

Christmas in Terrorland By Daniel Greenfield
Bethlehem's Christians are suffering at the hands of Hamas
In the media’s Middle Eastern coverage it wouldn’t be Christmas without the usual seasonal run of stories on how Bethlehem’s Christians are suffering because of Israel. These stories will occasionally admit that the number of Christians dropped drastically under the Palestinian Authority, not under Israeli rule, but this doesn’t stop them from running the usual smear campaign.
Rabbi's Murderers Trained by Barack and Barak? by Gil Ronen
(IsraelNN.com) The announcement by the Al Aksa Martyrs organization that its men are the ones who killed Rabbi Meir Avshalom Chai raises some difficult questions, when one bears in mind that the United States assists the Fatah organization through military training under the supervision of Gen. Keith Dayton.
Interviewed by Ben Bresky Thursday night, journalist David Bedein reminded Arutz Sheva's audience that the Al Aksa Martyrs formally joined Fatah's security forces at the Fatah convention in August. Fatah receives military training from US military forces with the full approval of Israel Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
Bedein noted that as a journalist, he recently submitted a query to the Minister of Defense and directed a similar question to the US authorities. In his queries he noted that despite their claims otherwise, the Al Aksa Martyrs are a terror group whose men receive financial aid which the US gives the group.
He has not received an answer to the query.
Bedein's description of the matter means that the United States (headed by President Barack Obama), with the Israeli government's passive agreement, has indirect responsibility for training and funding the terror force which murdered Rabbi Meir Chai.

Another spying scandal at Gitmo By PAUL SPERRY
A number of Arabic and Pashtu interpreters at the terror-war detention center at Guantanamo Bay are under active investigation for omitting valuable intelligence from their translations of detainee interrogations, among other security breaches. This could taint some of the evidence at the "9/11 trial" in New York and proceedings against other detainees.
Remarkably, the Pentagon never cleaned up the "mole infestation" at its highest-security facility after the FBI busted a Muslim spy ring at Gitmo in 2003.
The 2003 probe involved at least two Arabic interpreters with high-level security clearance. Senior Airman Ahmad al-Halabi, a Syrian native, and former Army linguist Ahmed Mehalba, an Egyptian native, were later convicted of stealing or mishandling classified documents.
Six years later comes a new problem with Muslim personnel who have virtually unfettered access to detainees and intelligence at Gitmo. Professional military security and intelligence officials at Gitmo did the preliminary probe, then prepared a classified summary and are now briefing top officials and members of Congress in Washington. An active FBI criminal probe is also under way.
The possible new spy ring involves several Arabic linguists, some also Egyptian and Syrian immigrants. They're suspected of, among other things:
Website documenting Islamic hate faces death threats By Bob Unruh
Radicals send photo of headless body: 'We will kill you. Like this'
Editor's Note: The following contains references to graphic violence and images:
A recent e-mail to a website launched after the 9/11 terror attacks to document the instances of Islamic violence said simply: "We will kill you. Like this ... "
The message included a photograph of a man who had been beheaded, his body resting chest down on grass and his lifeless head placed in the middle of his own back. Another photograph showed a bloody knife.
But the operator of The Religion of Peace website says those types of threats don't bother him much.

Radical Islam’s Defiling of Christmas – by Joe Kaufman
Anti-Christian Muslims celebrating hate for the holidays.
While Christians around the world are celebrating Christmas, radical Muslims will be gathering in Atlanta, Georgia for the beginning of their annual hatefest. The irony of this cannot be understated, as the group sponsoring the event, ICNA, and its followers openly denounce Christians and propagate material cursing and calling for violence against Christians.
ICNA or the Islamic Circle of North America was created nearly 40 years ago as the American affiliate to the terror-related Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), the Muslim Brotherhood of Pakistan. But while JI has focused the majority of its faith-based ire on Hindus, the religious groups of choice for ICNA’s attacks have primarily been Jews and Christians.
One of the main functions of ICNA is the spread of Islam. The group does this via its dawah or religious outreach program, Why Islam (WI). Too many times, though, ICNA’s religious outreach is used as a venue for the worst of bigotry. Common targets include Jews, Americans, Israelis, homosexuals, fellow Muslims and Christians.
Fort Hood jihadist consulted cleric about whether killing U.S. soldiers was permitted under Islamic law

Cut the Power of the Family Courts by Phyllis Schlafly
Do you think judges should have the power to decide what religion your children must belong to and which churches they may be prohibited from attending? We have long suspected that family courts are the most dictatorial and biased of all U.S. courts, routinely depriving divorced fathers of due process rights and authority over their own children, but this December a Chicago judge went beyond the pale.
Cook County Circuit Judge Edward Jordan issued a restraining order to prohibit Joseph Reyes from taking his three-year-old daughter to any non-Jewish religious activities because the ex-wife argued that would contribute to "the emotional detriment of the child." Mrs. Rebecca Reyes wants to raise her daughter in the Jewish religion, and the judge sided with the mother.
As Joseph Reyes' divorce attorney, Joel Brodsky, said when he saw the judge's restraining order, "I almost fell off my chair. I thought maybe we were in Afghanistan and this was the Taliban." The lawyer is appealing.
Doesn't the First Amendment extend to fathers? Apparently not if they are divorced. This case sounds extreme, but it is a good illustration of how family courts, the lowest in the judicial hierarchy, have become the most dictatorial of all courts because of the tremendous number of families and amounts of private money they control and the lack of accountability for their decisions.
Israel: US Consulate car tried to run over checkpoint guard By YAAKOV KATZ

2009: The Year of Living Fecklessly by Charles Krauthammer
On Tuesday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did not just reject President Obama's latest feckless floating nuclear deadline. He spat on it, declaring that Iran "will continue resisting" until the U.S. has gotten rid of its 8,000 nuclear warheads.
So ends 2009, the year of "engagement," of the extended hand, of the gratuitous apology -- and of spinning centrifuges, two-stage rockets and a secret enrichment facility that brought Iran materially closer to becoming a nuclear power.
We lost a year. But it was not just any year. It was a year of spectacularly squandered opportunity. In Iran, it was a year of revolution, beginning with a contested election and culminating this week in huge demonstrations mourning the death of the dissident Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri -- and demanding no longer a recount of the stolen election but the overthrow of the clerical dictatorship.

OMG!! Senate Obamacare Provision Says Parts of It CAN'T BE CANCELED Without "Super Majority"
Many opponents of Obamacare have been saying it doesn't matter if it gets passed, if the GOP takes over in 2010 they will repeal it. Sorry that will not be possible. The bill making its way through the Senate includes a clause that requires a two-thirds vote to amend or repeal certain sections of the bill. Section 3403 of Senator Harry Reid's amendment (page 1020)
The Health-Care Backlash PETER WEHNER
Here are some thoughts on where things stand in the aftermath of the certain passage of the Senate health-care bill.
1. Few Democrats understand the depth and intensity of opposition that exists toward them and their agenda, especially regarding health care. Passage of this bill will only heighten the depth and intensity of the opposition. We’re seeing a political tsunami in the making, and passage of health-care legislation would only add to its size and force.
2. This health-care bill may well be historic, but not in the way the president thinks. I’m not sure we’ve ever seen anything quite like it: passage of a mammoth piece of legislation, hugely expensive and unpopular, on a strict party-line vote taken in a rush of panic because Democrats know that the more people see of ObamaCare, the less they like it. ......... more ...

BREAKING-New CBO Letter RE: Senate Health Care Bill Projects Medicare is SCREWED!!!
Multi-tasking is a great quality, but money can't multi-task--- you can't spend the same dollar bill in two different places. The Senate version of the Obamacare tries to do just that. According to the Senate's guidelines given to the CBO to score the latest Harry Reid version of Health Care, the $500 Billion in medicare savings is being used to extend the life of Medicare AND to help pay for the new Healthcare programs in the bill.
Yesterday Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama) asked the director of the CBO a simple question what is really happening to the $500 Billion in savings? The CBO Replied with the memo below, which basically says it will help pay for the new programs in Obamacare, which means Medicare is screwed, or it will help extend the life of medicare which means the deficit will spike up and the promise of the Senate bill being deficit neutral is a cruel lie.
Senate hypocrites refuse ObamaCare for themselves, force it on everyone else
The health care legislation about to be passed by the U.S. Senate requires all Americans to purchase health insurance. All Americans, that is, except for the Senate, other members of Congress and their staff. The Democrats refuse to even allow vote on the matter.
Secretary Napolitano Delays Implementation of Crucial National Security Law
Through his DHS secretary, President Obama continues to make life in the United States more dangerous. Janet Napolitanto is doing everything she can to stop the enforcement of immigration law in the US. She has said that she will only concentrate on "criminal aliens" when enforcing federal immigration law. But wait if they came into the US illegally aren't they ALL "criminal aliens?" She has also directed her department of homeland security to gag local law enforcement agencies around the country to protect
the privacy of illegal aliens.
Like the POTUS, Napolitano believes that protecting our borders is a racial issue (and a way of getting millions of new Democratic voters). This belies the truth, fighting illegal immigration is not a race issue, is a law and order and anti-terrorism issue. People forget about cases such as that of Jihadist Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, who was arrested the FBI after trying to blow up a building in downtown Dallas was in this country Illegally.

Cash For Cloture: Obamacare Bill is So Bad It Has to Be Rammed Through In Middle of The Night
So it comes down to this, Senator Nelson trades his pro-life position for a couple of bucks...Gee, if he thought abortion is murder on Thursday, why isn't it murder on Friday. For another couple of million for his home state maybe he will come out saying that the victims of 9-11 had it coming.
What Did Senators Get For Their Votes on Health Care? By Connie Hair
At 1:01 a.m., the Senate cleared the first hurdle to pass its own version of the government takeover of health care, holding a vote for cloture on what’s known as the Manager’s Amendment. The vote on the last-minute amendment that held multi-million dollar deals to buy key votes from Senators passed 60-40, a straight party line vote.
Health Care Nullification: Things Have Just Gotten Underway by Michael Boldin
If you think marching on D.C. or calling your Representatives, or threating to “throw the bums out” in 2010 or 2012 or 20-whatever, is going to further the cause of the Constitution and your liberty – you might as well get your shackles on now. Your last chance has come and gone.
But, those of you who visit this site regularly already know that the Senate’s health care vote is far from the end of things – and you also know that even when it goes into effect (which I assume some version will), it’s still not the end of the road for your freedom.
The real way to resist DC is not by begging politicians and judges in Washington to allow us to exercise our rights…it’s to exercise our rights whether they want to give us “permission” to or not.
Over the years, wise men and women warned us that the Constitution would never enforce itself. The time is long overdue for people to start recognizing this fact, and bring that enforcement closer to home.
Abortion Healthcare Bill is Unacceptable and Unconstitutional
Liberty Counsel opposes the current Senate healthcare bill because it still funds abortion and does not permit those who oppose abortion to opt-out from the federally subsidized plan.
On Saturday, Senate President Harry Reid (D-NV) filed a 383-page so-called “Manager’s Amendment” to his 2,074-page pending bill (H.R. 3590) that requires the federal government to violate the principles of the Hyde Amendment by funding abortion.
Unfortunately, it appears Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) compromised his opposition to abortion funding after negotiating a Medicaid deal for his home state of Nebraska at the expense of the other 49 states that will have to split the costs of Medicaid with the federal government. Many states are already struggling in this economy, with hiring freezes and job cuts, and cannot afford mandates in their own states, much less their share of the Medicaid mandates of Nebraska. These costs will be passed along to struggling taxpayers while their legislators wonder what new creative tax increases they will have to invent to come up with a possible additional $2 billion per year to throw into Reid’s federal healthcare mix.
On Sunday the Congressional Budget Office Director admitted that the prior cost figures on the bill were inaccurate, stating to Sen. Reid: “The imprecision of these calculations reflects the even greater degree of uncertainty ....”
No one had time to read Sen. Reid’s bill because he pushed it forward in the middle of the night and the Senate may be forced to work up to the evening hours on Christmas Eve. While the world celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, Senator Reid is holding every Senator hostage in order to pressure them into submission so that every American will be forced to fund abortion.
If the bill becomes law, Liberty Counsel is prepared to challenge the constitutionality of the bill since Congress has no authority to require every person to obtain insurance coverage and has no authority to fine employers who do not provide the coverage standards that are required in the bill. In addition, the bill still requires citizens to pay a fine if they don't maintain insurance for themselves and their families
The spirit of the Roman Emperor Herod who killed every baby boy two years old and under in order to preserve his political dynasty still lives in the halls of Congress.
This shameful farce is not about healthcare. It is about politics. It is not about the well-being of the American people. It is about scoring a political victory.

Obama Led The Total Failure of World Leadership in Copenhagen By Dr. Tim Ball
World leaders participated in a scandalous conference in Copenhagen. Officially it was Conference of the Parties (COP) 15 to monitor progress on climate change begun in 1995 at COP 1 in Berlin. They’ve consistently and blindly accepted the false claim human CO2 is causing climate change. COP 3 produced the Kyoto Accord to punish developed nations and redistribute wealth. It’s due to expire in 2012 and COP 15 was to keep the process going. Few supported it more than Obama so he had to salvage the process.
Carbon class warfare
The United States was bashed a lot over the last two weeks at the Copenhagen Climate Summit. But those who believe in man-made global warming should have some praise for the Land of the Free because Americans are comparatively clean.
Admittedly, we emit large amounts of carbon dioxide per person, but the United States is at the very top in terms of how much it is able to create for the carbon dioxide it produces. And U.S. carbon-dioxide emissions per output have been improving over time. Few countries, especially the developing nations bashing us the most, come even close.
The United States currently produces 30 percent of the world's total goods and services but emits 20 percent of man-made carbon dioxide. The rest of the wealthy, developed nations aren't far behind. Under the Kyoto treaty, Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Russia are known as the Annex 1 countries. Combined, they produce 45 percent of the world's goods and services while emitting 31 percent of the world's man-made carbon dioxide. The United States produces 1.5 percent of the world's gross domestic product for each 1 percent of the world's man-made carbon dioxide emissions. That ratio is 1.45 to 1 for the other developed countries.
The rest of the world doesn't come close to this efficiency. By far the worst offenders are the former and current communist states. China generates just 6 percent of the world's gross domestic product but - at 21 percent - produces more man-made carbon dioxide than America. That's a ratio of .28 to 1. The former Soviet republics are even worse, producing just 2 percent of the world's GDP and 9 percent of its man-made carbon dioxide for a miserable .22 to 1 ratio. Other places such as India, members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Africa, Brazil and the rest of South America all produce a greater share of the world's man-made carbon dioxide than they do of the world's GDP.
NOTE: Beside this, CO2 is NOT a problem!!!!

Frank Gaffney: START Over
Amidst the late night machinations and parliamentary skullduggery that now passes for legislative process in what was once rightly known as "The World's Greatest Deliberative Body," a potentially decisive blow for freedom has been struck by forty-one Senators.
No, sadly I am not talking about a setback to the defective health care "reform" bill now trundling towards enactment. Rather, I am referring to an effort that suggests a critical block of Senators are determined to exercise quality control with respect to another of President Obama's alarming agenda items: denuclearization of this country as a lubricant to his oft-stated goal of "ridding the world of nuclear weapons."
As first reported by Bill Gertz, the Washington Times' ace national security correspondent, every member of the Senate's Republican caucus and Independent Joe Lieberman signed a strongly worded letter to Mr. Obama last week regarding the so-called "Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) follow-on agreement." The latter is an agreement the administration has been frantically trying to negotiate with the Kremlin, not simply to extend the now-expired, original START accord, but to replace it with a treaty making further, dramatic and controversial cuts in U.S. and Russian strategic forces.

'Muslim Mafia' lawsuit response: Legally, CAIR doesn't even exist By Art Moore
Father, son defend undercover investigation producing evidence of group's links to terror
In an intriguing twist to a lawsuit with national security implications, lawyers defending a father and son who carried out a six-month undercover investigation of the Council on American-Islamic Relations have filed a reply claiming the D.C.-based Muslim-rights group has no claim because it does not legally exist.
Just two weeks after CAIR was named by the Justice Department in May 2007 as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorist finance case in U.S. history, the organization changed its name to the Council on American-Islamic Relations Action Network, explains attorney Daniel Horowitz in a motion to dismiss the case filed in federal court in the nation's capital.
"CAIR is not a valid entity and even if it were, the exposure of its inner workings is part of the price it pays for being a controversial group in a hotly contested arena," Horowitz declares in his reply to CAIR's lawsuit.

If Palestinians Get Their Way, Say Goodbye to the Church of the Nativity
A message to observant Christians, you should know that if there ever is a Palestinian State you can say goodbye to holy sites Church of the Nativity and the Church of the Ascension. Christian holy sites and populations are endangered whenever Palestinians gain control.
Christian towns and churches, including the sacred Church of the Nativity, have been used as bases for Palestinian snipers and launching-sites for terrorist attacks. Many historically Christian towns that came under Palestinian control through Oslo — Bethlehem being only the most famous example — quickly lost their Christian majority as those citizens steadily fled Muslim oppression designed to reduce the Christian presence. A divided Jerusalem would put many Christian and Jewish Holy sites in the hands of the Palestinians and their "tradition" is to destroy any non-Muslim holy sites. Even now Christian Sites are treated with disdain, we are only six years removed from when the Palestinian Terrorists ransacked the Church of the Nativity
What We Mean When We Talk About Reforming Islam Daniel Greenfield *** EXCELLENT!
There is of course a great deal of talk about reforming Islam these days, and just about anyone from Tariq Ramadan to the Saudi King, to people who actually see what is wrong with Islam and want to reform it, can legitimately claim the title of the reformer of Islam. But that is because the question of what exactly "Reforming Islam" means remains open.
To begin with "Reforming Islam" means one thing to Western audiences and another thing entirely to Muslims. To Westerners "Reforming Islam" means bringing it into compliance with civilized norms of conduct. To Muslims it means stripping away the corruption of later eras and returning it to the pure Islam of Mohammed.
The most successful reformers of Islam within the Muslim world are not Wafa Sultan, Ali Sina or Irshad Manji... but Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab who created Wahhabism, Hassan al Banna who founded the Muslim Brotherhood and Osama bin Laden. And while that may seem insane or absurd from a Western perspective, after all three men inspired orgies of mass murder and horrifying brutality-- they did indubitably try to bring Islam closer to its roots. The problem is that Islam's roots are more rotten and darker than its branches.
From the Islamic perspective, reforming Islam requires a purer Islam. From the Western perspective, reforming Islam actually requires a less pure Islam that is capable of implementing such foreign to it ideas as tolerance and co-existence. By contrast Muslims believe that whatever problems there are in Islam are the result of human corruption and innovations added to Islam over the centuries. A pure Islam is their final solution for ending the constant corruption in Muslim countries and creating a Caliphate run under Islamic law.
.... Only if Muslims were forced to choose between participation in the civilized world and Sharia, could Islam ever truly be reformed.
Iran, not Israel, is Arabs’ Worst Enemy, Survey Reveals by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
(IsraelNN.com) Iran’s nuclear threat to regional security has replaced Israel as the Arab world’s public enemy number one for the Arab world, according to an Arab survey commissioned by the Doha Debates group.
A majority of respondents from 18 Arab countries said Iran is a bigger threat than Israel, and nearly a third think that Tehran is just as likely to target them as Israel. An overwhelming 80 percent do not believe that Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon.
The poll's results reinforce an opinion of Arab leaders who have traditionally been suspicious of Iran. "The Arab-Israeli conflict is a minor historical hiccup compared with the ancient feuds between Arabs and Persians," Mideast analyst and journalist Michael J. Totten recently wrote in Commentary Magazine.
“Arabs and Persians have detested each other for more than a thousand years, ever since Arabs conquered pre-modern Iran and converted its people to Islam,” according to Totten, who has covered the war in Iraq and has written extensively from Middle East countries.

Czech President Klaus: Global Warming Not Science, but a 'New Religion' By Gene Koprowski
As the Copenhagen Climate conference comes to a conclusion amidst riots by demonstrators and scrambling by policymakers, Czech President Vaclav Klaus has a message for the world: Global warming is a "new religion," not a science.
In an interview with FoxNews.com, Czech Republic president Vaclav Klaus argued that man's natural ingenuity will lead to new technologies that will lessen any impact mankind has had on the planet's environment.
As the Copenhagen climate conference drew to a close Friday, Czech President Vaclav Klaus, long a global warming skeptic, had a message for the world: do not dictate to humanity how to live based on an "irrational ideology," which he sees as the product of political correctness.
Global warming is a "new religion," not a science, he said in an interview with FoxNews.com.
"I'm convinced that after years of studying the phenomenon, global warming is not the real issue of temperature," said Klaus, an economist by training. "That is the issue of a new ideology or a new religion. A religion of climate change or a religion of global warming. This is a religion which tells us that the people are responsible for the current, very small increase in temperatures. And they should be punished."
Klaus, the second president of the Czech Republic since the fall of communism, is often called the Margaret Thatcher of Central Europe. In the interview, he sounded more like Winston Churchill, vowing to defend liberty and freedom from those who would restrain global economic growth.

Christian teacher lost her job after being told praying for sick girl 'was bullying' By JONATHAN PETRE
A devout Christian teacher has lost her job after discussing her faith with
a mother and her sick child and offering to pray for them.
Olive Jones, a 54-year-old mother of two, who taught maths to children too ill to attend school, was dismissed following a complaint from the girl’s mother. She was visiting the home of the child when she spoke about her belief in miracles and asked whether she could say a prayer, but when the mother indicated they were not believers she did not go ahead.
Mrs Jones was then called in by her managers who, she says, told her that sharing her faith with a child could be deemed to be bullying and informed her that her services were no longer required.
Litmus Test to be a Liberal by Retired Geek
1) The Litmus Test to be a Liberal is that they must first believe that there is 'No Higher Power' than Barack Obama.
2) The Litmus Test to be a Liberal is that they must believe that 'Facts, Logic and Reason' are partisan lies spread by a right wing conspiracy.
3) The Litmus Test to be a Liberal is that they must believe that Equal Rights and Protections for every legal American Citizen - no more - no less - is an 'Evil and Racist Plot'.
4) The Litmus Test to be a Liberal is that they must believe that Abortion shows true empathy, compassion and mercy, but capital punishment is cruel and unusual punishment.
5) The Litmus Test to be a Liberal is that they must believe that leaving babies who survive abortion to die in painful agony alone and without any medical help is only right because a woman contracted for a 'Dead Baby', but the sleep deprivation of a Terrorist to save thousands of lives is torture.
6) The Litmus Test to be a Liberal is that they must believe that a law-abiding American Citizen who arm themselves to protect their family is more of a threat than madmen in Iran acquiring Nuclear Weapons.
7) The Litmus Test to be a Liberal is that they must believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas, set-asides and Affirmative Action aren't.
8) The Litmus Test to be a Liberal is that they must believe that Homosexual Parades and teaching Homosexuality in schools is 'Free Speech', but stating Homosexuality is NOT normal is 'Hate Speech'.
9) The Litmus Test to be a Liberal is that they must believe that businesses and a free market create oppression and only the government creates prosperity.
10) The Litmus Test to be a Liberal is that they must believe that stealing the money and property of those who work hard and giving those stolen goods to the indolent and law-breakers will create harmony and peaceful co-existence.

The Palestinians Tell the World their Strategy: Why Make Peace with Israel When We Can Get Everything from You Instead By Barry Rubin
If you want to understand what's really going on in the alleged Israel-Palestinian peace process-beyond the babble that progress is being made, it's all Israel's fault, and everyone is working hard on it-here's what you need to know.
For the present, the Palestinian leadership isn't interested in pursuing negotiations with Israel because it has a different strategy: get everything it wants from others without making any concessions.
First, the Palestinian Authority (PA) came very close to obtaining a European Union (EU) resolution which made it sound like the Palestinian state with its capital in east Jerusalem is an accomplished fact. The rejection of the Swedish-sponsored proposal by more moderate European states staved this off, along with a U.S. reminder that this kind of issue was supposed to be resolved by a negotiated agreement between the PA and Israel.
Nevertheless, the PA no doubt drew hope-albeit erroneously so--from this experience that with a little more time the EU will back its position completely and give it a state on a silver platter.
The other front is the UN. On December 15, a meeting of the Fatah leadership will discuss and probably endorse a plan to seek UN recognition of their state, with no preconditions.
Arab honour and the peace process By Ted Belman
Arab honour is at the root of Arab rejectionism and intransigence. It prevents Arabs from accepting blame or compromising. It also prevents Arabs from losing land to Israel or ending the conflict.
Arab honour is closely linked to Islamic concepts of jihad and dhimmitude. Arab honour impells them to seek domination. Failure to dominate, dishonours them. Accepting responsibility is an anathema to their honour..
Muslim violence against the publication in Denmark of cartoons featuring Mohammed is a prime example of their refusal to accept the rule of law or western norms that are at odds with what their honour demands. The same goes for their reaction to Salman Rushdie’s Satanic Verses.
Prof Richard Landes covers this phenomenon in Part III of “Paradigms and the Middle East Conflict.” titled HJP: Honour Jihad paradigm
“The HJP understands the Arab-Israeli conflict through the prism of honor-shame culture and Islamic jihad. These elements of Arab culture are the main factors that have made it impossible to reach a solution to the conflict. Arab leaders view any compromise with Israel as “losing face,” since such an agreement would mean recognizing as a “worthy foe” an inferior group that should be subject. Such a blow to Arab honor cannot be tolerated for cultural and political reasons: losing face means to feel utter humiliation, to lose public credibility, and to lose power.[..]
“According to HSJP, the Arab-Israeli conflict is fueled by wounded Arab honor and frustrated religious imperialism.”
Radical Analysis for a Radical Religion, Part 1: Did Al Qaeda “Distort” Islam? by David Swindle
Was Al Qaeda really distorting Islam? It’s comfortable to think that isn’t it?
As I knew it would, this particular comment did not sit very well with my more left-leaning friends who accused me of being ignorant of Islam. When my tweet imported onto Facebook my lectures began. I started hearing equivalency arguments about all the violent things in the Old Testament. I started getting comparisons between Tim McVeigh and Al Qaeda. And I was told that to even suggest any understanding of Islam other than Obama’s politically-correct platitude was “garbage” and “ill-informed and borer-line [sic] ignorant.”
But I do have an understanding of what’s in the Koran and what Islam is about. And I tend to think that the difference between the Radical Islam of the world’s Al Qaedas and Nidal Hasans compared to the Islam of our friendly Muslim neighbors is that the former actually does what the Koran tells them to do. It’s actually the Muslims who accept religious pluralism and the American Idea who are distorting (or ignoring) the Koran — and more power to them.
Terrorism that's personal (12 images of women burned with acid) EDITOR'S NOTE: GRAPHIC CONTENT
Text by Jim Verhulst, Times' Perspective editor | Photos by Emilio Morenatti, Associated Press
We typically think of terrorism as a political act.
But sometimes it’s very personal. It wasn’t a government or a guerrilla insurgency that threw acid on this woman’s face in Pakistan. It was a young man whom she had rejected for marriage. As the United States ponders what to do in Afghanistan — and for that matter, in Pakistan — it is wise to understand both the political and the personal, that the very ignorance and illiteracy and misogyny that create the climate for these acid attacks can and does bleed over into the political realm. Nicholas Kristof, the New York Times op-ed columnist who traveled to Pakistan last year to write about acid attacks, put it this way in an essay at the time: “I’ve been investigating such acid attacks, which are commonly used to terrorize and subjugate women and girls in a swath of Asia from Afghanistan through Cambodia (men are almost never attacked with acid). Because women usually don’t matter in this part of the world, their attackers are rarely prosecuted and acid sales are usually not controlled. It’s a kind of terrorism that becomes accepted as part of the background noise in the region. ...

MICHELE BACHMANN WARNS: “FINANCIAL BILL WORSE THAN HEALTHCARE MEASURE” By Sarah Foster
WASHINGTON: A Republican congresswoman, who has been in the forefront of the fight against the healthcare bill, the climate control bill and other contentious measures, warned in an impromptu interview on Breitbart.tv Thursday evening, that a fast-tracked, under-the-radar mega-bill by Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., designed to overhaul the regulation of the entire financial services industry – and headed at the time for passage by the House -- is “even worse.”
“I know that’s hard to believe, but it is worse in the sense that every American makes financial transactions,” said Michele Bachmann, who represents the people of Minnesota’s Sixth Congressional District. “We all use credit cards, we all write checks. This will all now be controlled by government, and government will ration credit. You can’t have capitalism without capital, and government will decide who gets capital and who doesn’t.”

“Single Biggest Transfer of Wealth” Ever. Washington Post (12/18) reports, “In a private meeting, Clinton told Brazilian officials that a climate change bill that was passed by the House would set aside billions to help preserve tropical rain forests in developing countries. U.S. negotiators also labored to distinguish themselves from George W. Bush's administration, which did not ratify the Kyoto Protocol. In fact, U.S. officials added, the new administration is taking steps with or without Congress to reduce carbon emissions through new fuel standards and other measures. "They are saying, 'Trust us that we can do better,' " said Brazil's climate change ambassador, Sergio Serra, who attended the meeting with Clinton on Thursday. The new U.S. commitments came after comments by major participants in the talks, most notably China, that chances of even a modest deal were fading. The United States backed what amounts to the single biggest transfer of wealth from rich to poor nations for any one cause
Rasmussen:Voters Believe Global Warming is NOT Man-Made, Time For US to Drill for Oil
Hey Democrats, Wake Up and Smell the Kool Aid, your voters do not buy this global warming hoax. According to Rasmussen, public skepticism regarding mankind being the cause of global warming is at an all time high. 50% of adults now believe that global warming is caused by the Earth's natural cycle, only 34% believe it is a man made phenomenon. Six percent say there is some other reason for global warming (Maybe Al Gore's Man Bear Pig?)

Aztlan Surrender Act of 2009 From: www.AmericanPatrol.com
Eighty-seven Sign On to Amnesty Bill Rep. Luis Gutierrez introduces his bill to end U.S. sovereignty.
A bill [view here - pdf] that prohibits the United States of America from using its military to protect its borders, ties the hands of U.S. Border Patrol by imposing severe border environmental rules, and forces Customs and Border Protection to treat invaders as honored guests, is supported by at least 87 members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The bill also grants amnesty to anyone who got across the border before December 15, 2009, the date it was introduced, and prohibits local police from enforcing immigration laws.
Besides the 87 co-sponsors, the bill is also supported by Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid.
Rep. Lamar Smith, a leading expert on immigration law, said, "This is the kind of legislation that foreign governments would promote, not the U.S. Congress."
"I call this the Aztlan Surrender Act of 2009," said Glenn Spencer of the American Patrol Report. "The idea that so many members of Congress would openly advocate ending U.S. sovereignty should strike real fear in the hearts of all loyal Americans." Spencer said unless the invasion is halted, and reversed, in ten years the co-sponsors list could exceed 200 and such a bill would pass, putting to an end to the U.S. as a sovereign nation.

By Monika Scislowska And Krzysztof Kopacz, Associated Press Writers
OSWIECIM, Poland — The Nazis' infamous iron sign declaring "Arbeit Macht Frei" -- German for "Work Sets You Free" -- was stolen Friday from the entrance of the former Auschwitz death camp, Polish police said.
The 5-meter-long (16-foot-long), 40-kilogram (90-pound) iron sign at the Holocaust memorial site in southern Poland was unscrewed on one side and torn off on the other, police spokeswoman Katarzyna Padlo said.
The theft from the entrance to the camp -- where more than 1 million people, mostly Jews, died during World War II -- brought condemnation worldwide.
"The theft of such a symbolic object is an attack on the memory of the Holocaust, and an escalation from those elements that would like to return us to darker days," Yad Vashem Chairman Avner Shalev said in a statement from Jerusalem.
"I call on all enlightened forces in the world who fight against anti-Semitism, racism, xenophobia and the hatred of the other, to join together to combat these trends."

Terrorists in our midst By Doug Hagmann
This is the first installment of updated information a combined investigation between Douglas J. Hagmann, director of the Northeast Intelligence Network and Judi McLeod, founding editor of Canada Free Press.
Jamaat ul Fuqra, an Islamic terrorist group operating under the guise of legitimacy
“Nearly four years after our initial investigative report about a domestic terrorist group was made public, we can provide readers the first in a series of exclusive comprehensive updates about Jamaat ul Fuqra’s presence and activities in the U.S. and Canada. While much has been written about this terrorist group and their ‘training compounds,’ the cold, hard facts are far more disturbing than the Internet folklore they attract.”

Sayyid Qutb and the Virginia Five – by Robert Spencer
When five young Muslims from northern Virginia were arrested in Pakistan for trying to join jihadist groups, the local Muslim community professed to be puzzled as to how it could have happened. Ashraf Nubani, an attorney for the mosque the five attended, said of their relatives and fellow worshippers: “There’s shock and disbelief in these families and in this mosque.” Mahdi Bray of the Falls Church-based Muslim American Society, sounded a plaintive note: “We want to know: What did we miss? We saw these kids every day. In hindsight, what could we have done?”
If Mahdi Bray saw these young men daily, that might have been a clue right there as to what went wrong. For the Muslim American Society (MAS) is the American arm of the international Islamic supremacist organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood, the forefather of Al-Qaeda and Hamas. A captured internal Brotherhood document says that the Brotherhood’s mission in the U.S. is “a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”
The veil holds Muslim women back
Shaukat Malik is a Muslim-American Certified Public Accountant from Potomac. He left his native Pakistan in 1972 and has been living in the United States since 1980.
Gamal al Banna, a brother of the founder of Egypt’s Ikhwan al Muslimun -- the Muslim Brotherhood -- says “the veil is not an Islamic tradition, but a pre-Islamic one, when Arab women covered their heads and left the upper parts of their chest uncovered.” He thinks the relevant Quranic verse commands women to cover their chests, not necessarily their heads. ...
To wear the Hijab is certainly NOT an Islamic obligation on women. It is an innovation of men suffering from a piety complex who are so weak spiritually that they just cannot trust themselves! The prophet had instructed Muslim women to use the extra cloth in their headscarves to cover their breasts. Nowhere was their any instruction to cover your face like Darth Vader.
Muslim men have cleverly exploited their interpretation of Sharia laws to limit a women’s role in Muslim countries. Laws of Hadood, the Islamic marriage contract, plus legalized polygamy, all lead to treating women as if they were living in Arabia 1,400 years ago, and had no idea about today’s world. A women believing in these interpretations will fall victim to these relgious predators and end up wearing a hijab, when all she needs to do is to dress modestly.
UK: Jesus4Sharia Debate Postponed
Islam4UK an organization that is promoting a Jesus4Sharia debate with Christian and Jewish leaders, has postponed the event. The reason is that they have not even received a response from Church “leaders”. Past Popes fought Islam head on, but today the Church sits around and watches as Islam slowly devours Western civilization. Grow a spine already! There should be no doubt. We are engaged in a battle of civilizations.

20 senators demand probe of health-care vote 'threat' By Joe Kovacs
Did White House say it would close Air Force base if Nelson didn't play?
Twenty senators are demanding an investigation into reports the Obama administration threatened to close Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska if that state's Democratic senator, Ben Nelson, didn't join other Democrats in voting for health-care reform.
The group of 20, all Republicans, today called for a hearing in a letter to Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., and the committee's top Republican Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
Is Socialist Healthcare Constitutional?
When pressed, ObamaCare supporters on Capitol Hill can’t explain what part of the Constitution of the United States of America authorizes the federal government to force Americans to buy health insurance, Glenn Beck pointed out on his TV show. (video here)
A reporter asked Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), who has sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution, a simple question and she couldn’t –or wouldn’t– answer.
The question was: “What part of the Constitution do you think gives Congress the authority to mandate individuals have to purchase health insurance?”
The senator replied, “Well, we’re very lucky as members of the Senate to have constitutional lawyers on our staff, so I’ll let them answer that.”
Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) answered the question. When asked, ”Where in the Constitution is the federal government charged with maintaining people’s health?” he replied
Well, it’s not in the Constitution. There’s nothing in the Constitution that says that the federal government has got anything to do with most of the stuff that we do.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) ridiculed the questioner. When asked, “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?” she replied, “Are you serious? Are you serious?”
Nazi Eurabia, and America’s Fate By Jim O'Neill ***** A MUST READ
“The Crusader would have been quite justified in suspecting the Muslim even if the Muslim had merely been a new stranger; but as a matter of history he was already an old enemy. The critic of the Crusade talks as if it had sought out some inoffensive tribe or temple in the interior of Tibet, which was never discovered until it was invaded. They seem entirely to forget that long before the Crusaders had dreamed of riding to Jerusalem, the Muslims had almost ridden into Paris.”—G.K Chesterton (1874-1936)
“O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” —Qur’an (5:51)
New Climategate SHOCKER: Russians Reveal How CPU "Cooked The Books"
In Copenhagen the gathering of the International Church of Global Warming Moonbats is ignoring the Climategate scandal as they do their best to pass their agenda of transferring of income from the developed to the undeveloped world.
While the Moonbats were playing a denial Climategate got much, much bigger. The Russians just dropped this huge bombshell just as the world’s big-shots are gathering in Copenhagen to discuss ways of carbon-taxing the developed world back into the stone-age. What the Russians found out is that Dr, Jones and the folks at CPU weren't using all the data from Siberia. In fact they threw out all of the Russian Data except for the 25% that helped them prove their case.

Putting our economy in the hands of Chavez fans Andrew Bolt
These maniacs in Copenhagen are voting on your future:
President Chavez brought the house down.
When he said the process in Copenhagen was “not democratic, it is not inclusive, but isn’t that the reality of our world, the world is really and imperial dictatorship…down with imperial dictatorships” he got a rousing round of applause.
When he said there was a “silent and terrible ghost in the room” and that ghost was called capitalism, the applause was deafening.
But then he wound up to his grand conclusion – 20 minutes after his 5 minute speaking time was supposed to have ended and after quoting everyone from Karl Marx to Jesus Christ - “our revolution seeks to help all people…socialism, the other ghost that is probably wandering around this room, that’s the way to save the planet, capitalism is the road to hell....let’s fight against capitalism and make it obey us.” He won a standing ovation.

The China Problem In Copenhagen – by Rich Trzupek
The United States and China clash over greenhouse gas emissions.
7 Out of 10 Americans Support Responsible Energy Exploration Offshore; 70% of the “Political Class” Oppose It. Rasmussen Reports (12/16) posts, “Voter support for offshore oil drilling remains as strong as it was during last year’s presidential election, but many also continue to believe individual states should be able to stop it off their own coastlines. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of U.S. voters believe offshore oil drilling should be allowed. Just 20% oppose drilling for oil off the coast of the United States, with another 12% undecided. These numbers are virtually unchanged from findings just after Election Day in November 2008. But far more dramatic is the divide between Mainstream voters and the Political Class, voters who tend to trust political leaders more than the public at large and are far less skeptical about government. While 76% of Mainstream voters support offshore drilling, 70% of the Political Class are opposed to it.
Darwin’s bodysnatchers: new horrors by Carl Wieland, M.B., B.S.
People deliberately killed to provide ‘specimens’ for evolutionary research
A gruesome trade in ‘missing link’ specimens began with early evolutionary/racist ideas. But this trade really ‘took off’ with the advent of Darwinism.
In a previous Creation magazine we related evidence that perhaps 10,000 dead bodies of Australia’s Aboriginal people were shipped to British museums in a frenzied attempt to prove the widespread belief that they were the ‘missing link’.1 Now a major item in a leading Australian weekly, The Bulletin, reveals shocking new facts.2 Some of the points covered in the article, written by Australian journalist David Monaghan, include:
US evolutionists were also strongly involved in this flourishing ‘industry’ of gathering specimens of ‘subhumans’. The Smithsonian Institution in Washington holds the remains of 15,000 individuals of various races.
Along with museum curators from around the world, Monaghan says, some of the top names in British science were involved in this large-scale grave-robbing trade.3 These included anatomist Sir Richard Owen, anthropologist Sir Arthur Keith, and Charles Darwin himself. Darwin wrote asking for Tasmanian skulls when only four full-blooded Tasmanian Aborigines were left alive, provided his request would not ‘upset’ their feelings. Museums were not only interested in bones, but in fresh skins as well. These would provide interesting evolutionary displays when stuffed.
Pickled Aboriginal brains were also in demand, to try to prove that they were inferior to those of whites. It was Darwin, after all, who wrote that the civilized races would inevitably wipe out such lesser-evolved ‘savage’ ones.
Obama wins the Nobel Prize for Ignorance of Islam

Obama and the Religion of Popular Culture Daniel Greenfield *** Must Read!
It is a self-evident truth that religion may seem to be on the decline, but is always present within a society and a culture in one form or another. Secularization is not the decline of religion, but rather the decline of spiritual religion in favor of cultural religion that is simply background noise. Just as atheism, though it may lack a creator figure, forms of a belief system in a particular worldview and an accompanying set of values, so too religion is very much present in a secularized society. It is simply not religion as we understand it anymore, it is popular culture, and Obama is its key messianic figure.

Rashid Khalidi Headlines Taxpayer-funded Palestinian Fest
by Jonathan Schanzer and Madeleine Morganstern
Yet it was keynote speaker Rashid Khalidi, Columbia University's Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies, who turned the conference's tone on its head. Khalidi, who served as a spokesman for the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) when he lived in Lebanon in the late 1970s and early 1980s, produces work that Middle East scholar Daniel Pipes described as "propaganda parading as scholarship."
Khalidi lived up to his reputation by blasting Israel and its supporters in vitriolic and paranoid terms.

Code Red Rally Protests Senate Health Care Action Connie Hair
The Code Red rally and more in today’s column!
Arizona will act to place health care freedoms alongside our freedom of speech, religion and our second amendment rights.
The Arizona Healthcare Freedom Act is on the November 2010 ballot but the FIGHT begins today.
What we are standing up for is simple, and has remained the standard for decades. The Arizona Healthcare Freedom Act will permantly place in the Arizona State constitution two simple rights:
The right for people to spend their own money on legal healthcare services
The right to choose not to join a healthcare plan without a penalty, fine or tax
The Arizona Health Care Freedom Act will ensure that any current and future reforms reflect the best interest of the people, not the best interest of the government. To expand, we aim to keep the focus on the individuals with the biggest seat at the table, rather than making us the entree that we all are today.

Even the Criminals of Climategate Avoid Gore By Dr. Tim Ball
“It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them.”—Mark Twain.
Twain’s observation is precisely the issue with the Nobel Peace Prizes given to Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The IPCC are now completely discredited because the ‘scientists’ at the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia controlled the data, the computer models and the press releases officially known as the Summary for Policymakers (SPM).
100 Reasons Why Climate Change Is NOT MAN-MADE
Jim McConalogue of the European Foundation, wrote a handy report giving 100 Reasons why Climate change comes from nature not from man.
“This demonstrates how tenuous, improper and indeed false the scientific and political claims are for man-made global warming, from claims that climate change can be controlled by human activity to the proposition that CO2 emissions represent a severe threat to our way of life, when in fact there is little evidence to support any of these claims," said McConalogue
He warns the Copenhagen climate summit was likely to lead to “nonsensical targets” to reduce emissions, which would result in a “burdensome regulatory agenda”, After Copenhagen, voters “will see what travesty has been done in their name, as foolish politicians and indifferent industry associations have engulfed their countries in emissions legislation”.
Below are McConalogue's 100 reasons why climate change is natural and not man-made: ......

The Dark Lessons of Eurabia – by Jamie Glazov
A former Mossad agent who hunted terrorists in Europe offers some dire warnings.
Palestinians Want Israel (and Rest of World) To Concede Everything Before it Will Talk Peace
Truthfully, the real reason there is no peace between Israel and the Palestinians is the Palestinians don't want peace. No other country in the world has made concessions the way Israel has. Since 1977, they given up areas of land three times the size of the State of Israel. The Oslo process began in 1993. Sixteen years have passed since then, and they are no closer to a permanent settlement.
The Palestinians don't want peace, after all its bad for buisness. It is the hatred of Israel that allows the PA to keep power. It deflects public anger from their own fraud, theft of public funds and incompetence, to that "evil Zionist entity." That's why the terrorists Arafat walked away from an almost done deal during the Clinton Administration and launched the "second intifada."
US President Barack Obama gave the Palestinians a new excuse to avoid peace. The President's demand for a settlement freeze was a gift to the Palestinians. They twisted his pressure for the freeze and made it a pre-condition for negotiations, giving the Palestinians an excuse to avoid negotiations and the other Arab nations an excuse to avoid making the "gestures" for which the President is looking.
Now that Netanyahu's 10 month freeze has blunted the President's clumsy settlement demands the Palestinians have a new way to delay peace talks. Their new tactic is to demand that Israel concede all the major points before they will engage in talks.
Israeli settlements are more than legitimate
Critics may assail them on other grounds, but no one can deny that they are legal. In fact, the 1922 Mandate for Palestine encourages them.
By Eric Rozenman, [The astonishing thing about this article is that the LA TIMES published it.]
President Obama asserts, seconded by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, that “America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements” in the West Bank. Both have praised the 10-month freeze on new residential building — excluding eastern Jerusalem — that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced late last month.
Netanyahu now calls for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to resume negotiations or take the blame for lack of progress when the “one-time-only” freeze expires. Abbas’ precondition — adopted after Washington’s pronouncements — is that all Israeli construction, including in eastern Jerusalem, must cease permanently.
Too bad international diplomacy doesn’t have a replay button. If it did, the parties could look back at history, which would show that Israeli settlements not only are legitimate under international law but positively encouraged.

Jesus-era leper sheds light on Turin shroud mystery
Israel experts said on Wednesday that a burial shroud known as the Turin shroud, assumed to be the type used to wrap the body of Jesus, did not actually originate from Jesus-era Jerusalem.
The conclusion was based on excavation discoveries of a first-century C.E. shrouded man found in a tomb on the edge of the Old City of Jerusalem, which also revealed the earliest proven case of leprosy. ...
The shrouded man's tomb was located next to the tomb of Annas, the high priest (6-15 C.E.), who was the father in law of Caiaphas, the high priest who betrayed Jesus to the Romans. These facts lead investigators to believe that that this shrouded man was either a priest or a member of the aristocracy.
Hamas preparing 'offensive' tunnels
Israel is likely to face advanced Iranian weaponry, long-range rockets, large missile silos and dozens of kilometers of underground tunnels connecting open fields with urban centers in the event of a future conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, according to the latest Israeli assessments.
Since Operation Cast Lead ended almost a year ago, Hamas has increased its weapons smuggling and today operates hundreds of tunnels along the Philadelphi Corridor. It has smuggled in dozens of long-range Iranian-made rockets that can reach Tel Aviv as well as advanced anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles.

'Chilling' new video: How to slit throats By Bob Unruh
Jihad maneuvers taught at New York compound
Jihad training video - A new video released by the Christian Action Network shows Muslim women at a compound in New York state practicing throat-slitting techniques and assault weapons attacks.
The video was distributed by the makers of the movie "Homegrown Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around the U.S.," which documents how a jihadist group has developed dozens of training camps across the nation.
WND reported at the time how Jamaat ul-Fuqra has built 35 compounds – mostly in the northeastern corridor of the U.S.
Now the organization has posted on YouTube a "chilling" training video provided to CAN by an unnamed law enforcement source about the Muslims of America headquarters in Hancock, New York.

Swiss ban on minarets was a vote for tolerance and inclusion By Ayaan Hirsi Ali
The Swiss vote highlights the debate on Islam as a set of political and collectivist ideas, not a rejection of Muslims.
The recent Swiss referendum that bans construction of minarets has caused controversy across the world. There are two ways to interpret the vote. First, as a rejection of political Islam, not a rejection of Muslims. In this sense it was a vote for tolerance and inclusion, which political Islam rejects. Second, the vote was a revelation of the big gap between how the Swiss people and the Swiss elite judge political Islam.
In the battle of ideas, symbols are important.
What if the Swiss voters were asked in a referendum to ban the building of an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles as a symbol of the belief of a small minority? Or imagine a referendum on building towers topped with a hammer and sickle – another symbol dear to the hearts of a very small minority in Switzerland.
Political ideas have symbols: A swastika, a hammer and sickle, a minaret, a crescent with a star in the middle (usually on top of a minaret) all represent a collectivist political theory of supremacy by one group over all others.
Indiana School Removes 'Allah' From Holiday Show After Protests
An elementary school in Indiana reportedly removed a mention of Allah in its holiday show after protests from a national conservative Christian group.... Siddiqui said "Allah" is the Arabic word for God and is used by Jews, Christians and others in Arabic-speaking nations.

My Apology To The Arab World Mike S. Adams A MUST READ!!
Author’s Note: the following editorial contains mildly offensive language. Given the subject matter, the author is sorry that it does not contain highly offensive language.
Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot about the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal. The pictures of those “abused” prisoners have been plastered all over the front pages of papers around the country. Some of my conservative friends have interpreted the excessive coverage as proof that papers like the New York Times are actually rooting against America in its current war on terror. Even those who aren’t willing to go that far say that such coverage is helping the enemy to recruit a new generation of terrorists to inflict harm upon our troops.
Despite these views, I have decided to make a formal public apology to the entire Arab world in the aftermath of Abu Ghraib. It is my hope that the following apology will help bring some clarity to the situation and, who knows, maybe even lasting world peace:
Dear Arabs,
I am truly sorry that Americans decided to take up arms and sacrifice their own youth in the defense of Muslims in Bosnia, Kosovo, and the first Gulf War. After we clear up this mess in Iraq, we will refrain from any such activity in the future.
I am truly sorry that I did not hear any of you call for an apology from Muslim extremists after 911. After all, the hijackers were all Arabs.
I am truly sorry that Arabs have to live in squalor under savage dictatorships throughout the Middle East. I am also sorry that the “leaders” of these nations drive their citizens into poverty by keeping all of the wealth in the hands of a select few. ...... much more ....
THE PATH TO TERROR The Jihadists of Georgia
They were a couple of young Americans with terror on their minds, two middle-class kids barely out of high school who lived seemingly normal lives in and around Atlanta while secretly taking up the mantle of violent jihad, who in the span of a year went from being extremist wannabes to trusted brothers of terrorist operatives across the globe.
Now, following their convictions in federal court earlier this year and sentencings this week, they are each headed to prison for quite some time.
Their names are Ehsanul Islam Sadequee and Syed Haris Ahmed, and their story is indicative of both the evolving homegrown extremist threat and the FBI's post 9/11 intelligence-driven investigations.

Uncoupling the U.S. from the U.N. By Edward Bernard Glick
Over the past sixty years, the political architecture and mathematics of the United Nations have changed drastically. Not only has the number of Security Council non-permanent members been increased from six to ten, but the pivotal position in the General Assembly once held by Latin America is now held by third-world countries in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. They have hijacked the United Nations and transformed it into one of the most anti-Western, anti-American, anti-Semitic, and anti-democratic organizations on the planet.
Is Facebook unethical, clueless or unlucky?
As we've explained, there are serious problems on Facebook, that not even their CEO understands. Beyond their tacit support for Holocaust denial on their platform, the negligence and apathy in which they "address" the wide-ranging problems of antisemitism and jihadist content, there are also serious privacy concerns which should be of interest to all activists who take controversial stands which might put lives at risk.

Did First Lady's Chief of Staff Perjure Herself Regarding Fired AmeriCorps IG Walpin ?
Despite the efforts of Obama administration to go after Gerald Walpin personally, it looks as if the scandal that the former IG was trying to investigate, as well as the cover-up, may be collapsing under its own weight.
Until a few months Walpin was the Inspector General for AmeriCorps. He claims he was fired because he made the mistake of Investigation a friend of Michelle Obama (FOO) Kevin Johnson, former NBA star who is now mayor of Sacramento, California, for the misuse of AmeriCorps funds.
Pressed for a reasoning for the dismissal the Administration trashed Walpin hinting that he was in the early stages of dementia. They said the IG seemed "disoriented" at one meeting. Walpin's version of the story was confirmed by a AmeriCorps board member who confirmed that he was fired to protect the Democrats from a political scandal.
A GOP report contends that the Obama White House was politically motivated when it fired inspector general Gerald Walpin after his 2008 investigation of Kevin Johnson, now Sacramento's mayor. The report by Rep Issa and Senator Grassley criticizes the White House ethics counsel, for not examining what Walpin had been investigating at the time of his dismissal, including the allegations of sexual misconduct by Johnson and hush-money payoffs by his now-fiancee Michelle Rhee.
New Evidence just released is that the First Lady's former Chief of Staff Jackie Norris, met with Alan Solomont of Corporation for National and Community Service, which oversees AmeriCorps in an attempt to keep the scandal away from Michelle Obama.
Al Gore's Admits His Ice Cap Predictions Were Bogus
Former Vice President Al Gore made a startling announcement at the UN Climate Conference today:
New computer modeling suggests the Arctic Ocean may be nearly ice-free in the summertime as early as 2014, Al Gore said Monday at the U.N. climate conference. This new projection, following several years of dramatic retreat by polar sea ice, suggests that the ice cap may nearly vanish in the summer much sooner than the year 2030, as was forecast by a U.S. government agency eight months ago. "It is hard to capture the astonishment that the experts in the science of ice felt when they saw this," said former U.S. Vice President Gore, who joined Scandinavian officials and scientists to brief journalists and delegates. It was Gore's first appearance at the two-week conference.
There was one thing that Gore left out of his stunning statement, it was wrong !! So says the scientist who gave Gore the numbers. And while the Press is still reporting on Gore's stunning numbers, Gore's office admitted that the percentage he quoted in his speech was from an old, ballpark figure.

Azmi Bishara: There is No "Palestinian" Nation. Never Was! by Avi Yellin
(IsraelNN.com) The Zionist Freedom Alliance of California has been circulating a video on the internet this past week exposing former Member of Knesset Azmi Bishara denying the existence of a “Palestinian” nation. The video was recorded years prior to Bishara entering Israel's parliament in 1996 as head of the Arab Balad party.
Bishara, who resigned from the Knesset and fled the country in 2007 just when Israeli Security Services were ready to arrest him on charges of treason and espionage, is shown in the video reiterating his Arab nationalist position that there is no such thing as a “Palestinian” people.
Translation: “Well, I dont think there is a Palestinian nation at all. I think there is an Arab nation. I always thought so and I did not change my mind. I do not think there is a Palestinian nation, I think its a colonialist invention - Palestinian nation. When were there any Palestinians? Where did it come from? I think there is an Arab nation. I never turned to be a Palestinian nationalist, despite of my decisive struggle against the occupation. I think that until the end of the 19th century, Palestine was the south of Greater Syria.”

We Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet VICTOR DAVIS HANSON
A number of problems on the horizon could dwarf President Obama’s first-year trials.
The Art of Political War for Tea Parties – by David Horowitz * * * Excellent!
A specter is haunting America – the specter of a people rising. All across the nation Americans are waking up to the threat of a leftist elite determined to fundamentally change America, push through a socialist agenda, and make every citizen dependent on the state. The Obama machine is spending trillions of tax-payer dollars to finance their takeover of the American workplace and stifle the independence of the American people. But America is resilient nation, built on the principles of private property and individual freedom, and the resistance to their socialist plans has already begun.
... the Tea Parties movement, the most innovative, exciting and powerful grassroots force in the history of American conservatism. It is vital to the health of this country that the Tea Parties movement grow. More to the point: it is essential to American survival that the Tea Parties movement succeed. On the eve of the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama said “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming America.” The Tea Parties movement is the American people saying no to Obama’s plans for revolution.
A movement without an effective strategy for defeating its opponents cannot succeed. Therefore it is important to reacquaint ourselves with the art of political war.
While Democrats are morally bankrupt and clueless about policy – about what makes things work — they still win elections because they understand a simple fact: American politics is driven by the romance of the underdog, the story of the little guy who goes up against the system and triumphs in the end. It is a story about opportunity and fairness. To win the hearts and minds of the American voter, you have to tap the emotions the romance of the underdog evokes. Whoever does so has a winning edge.
The Dead End Quest for Peace Daniel Greenfield
Peace, peace. Everyone wants peace. Or so we would like to think. Chamberlain and a sizable portion of the English electorate were certain that Hitler wanted peace and all that was needed was for everyone to sit down around a table, make some compromises (at someone else's expense if possible) and everyone could go back to buying their biscuits, playing cricket and generally enjoying life. What did not occur to them was the possibility that Hitler did not want peace. What did not occur to them was that by constantly talking about peace, they were only bridging the gap to war with their own naivete and conspicuous weakness.
A year into Obama's first term dedicated to multilateralism and soft power, the world is more unstable than ever. Iran is openly pursuing nuclear weapons and regional domination. North Korea is firing on South Korean ships. The Chavez Marxist axis in Latin America has become more ambitious. Russia is amping up the rhetoric against the Ukraine and George again, and building up its arsenal. And even Obama's staunchest apologists and defenders cannot think of a single tangible thing that he has accomplished in all his visits to virtually every major country on the globe.
But that is because peace is a paradox. To have peace, you must be prepared for war. You may speak softly, but you must carry a big stick. And like happiness, the worst possible way to go about finding peace, is by going out and looking for it. Because to pursue peace is to deliver a signal of weakness that all but invites war. Peace is produced not through goodwill, those with whom goodwill is easy to achieve are not likely targets for war, but through deterrence. War is deterred the same way that crime is deterred, through vigilance and strength.

Solving Whose Problem? – by Thomas Sowell
No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems— of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind.
Many of the things the government does that may seem stupid are not stupid at all, from the standpoint of the elected officials or bureaucrats who do these things.
The current economic downturn that has cost millions of people their jobs began with successive administrations of both parties pushing banks and other lenders to make mortgage loans to people whose incomes, credit history and inability or unwillingness to make a substantial down payment on a house made them bad risks.
Was that stupid? Not at all. The money that was being put at risk was not the politicians’ money, and in most cases was not even the government’s money. Moreover, the jobs that are being lost by the millions are not the politicians’ jobs— and jobs in the government’s bureaucracies are increasing.
No one pushed these reckless mortgage lending policies more than Congressman Barney Frank, who brushed aside warnings about risk, and said in 2003 that he wanted to “roll the dice” even more in the housing markets. But it would very rash to bet against Congressman Frank’s getting re-elected in 2010.

EXCLUSIVE Analysis: Sorry, Islamophobia Pimps – 67% of US Hate Crimes Against Jews By Debbie Schlussel
Well, the FBI official hate crimes statistics are out for 2008. And like every year since the 9/11 Muslim terrorist attacks on America, the vast majority of religious hate crime victims on U.S. soil are America’s . . . Jews. While the Pentagon and US Army did overtime pandering to Muslims like Nidal Malik Hasan, the real hatred was against one set of his mortal enemies.
That’s right. A whopping 66.69%–or just over 2/3rds–of America’s religion-based hate crime incidents are committed against Jews. But, hey, there’s no anti-Semitism. I’m just imagining it. The real condition afflicting America is Islamophobia, right? Let’s ignore that only 6.91% of hate crime incidents were against Muslims, with Catholics very close behind comprising 4.94% of hate crime incident victims. Sadly, some Catholic leaders look the other way on anti-Semitism (more on that below).

Hate Radio - The long, toxic afterlife of Nazi propaganda in the Arab world
By Jeffrey HerfHaj Amin al-Husseini, a Palestinian leader in exile in Berlin, helped Hitler broadcast Nazi ideas in passionate, fluent Arabic.
Between 1939 and 1945, shortwave radio transmitters near Berlin broadcast Nazi propaganda in many languages around the world, including Arabic throughout the Middle East and North Africa, and Persian programs in Iran. English-language transcripts of the Arabic broadcasts shed light on a particularly dark chapter in the globalization of pernicious ideas. The transcripts' significance, however, is not purely historical. Since September 11, 2001, scholars have debated the lineages, similarities, and differences between Nazi anti-Semitism and the anti-Semitism of Islamic extremists. These radio broadcasts suggest that Nazi Arabic-language propaganda helped introduce radical anti-Semitism into the Middle East, where it found common ground with anti-Jewish currents in Islam.

The battle continues in the Santa Rosa County, Florida, school system where the ACLU dispatched a small army of attorneys in an outrageous attempt to CRIMINALIZE virtually any expression of Christianity - even praying before a meal!
This time, we're going on the offensive!
In August and September we beat back the ACLU's legal attack against three school employees over meal-time prayers. But after their humiliating defeat, the ACLU tried to save face by increasing the pressure on
the school district.
The day after National Constitution Day, when we won a
stunning victory by defending Principal Frank Lay and Athletic Director Robert Freeman, the ACLU sent a threatening letter to school officials trying to silence
employees and students. These bullies also began soliciting new "informants."
The ACLU is able to continue terrorizing godly men and women in Santa Rosa County because of the outrageous, anti-Christian "consent order" they wrote (and the judge signed), which is still hanging over the school system and its employees! This order is so broad that teachers and staff are prohibited from folding their hands or bowing their heads to say a silent prayer!
Cloward-Piven Government By James Simpson *****
It is time to cast aside all remaining doubt. President Obama is not trying to lead America forward to recovery, prosperity and strength. Quite the opposite, in fact.
In September of last year, American Thinker published my article, Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis. Part of a series, it connected then-presidential candidate Barack Obama to individuals and organizations practicing a malevolent strategy for destroying our economy and our system of government. Since then, the story of that strategy has found its way across the blogosphere, onto the airwaves of radio stations across the country, the Glenn Beck television show, Bill O'Reilly, and now Mark Levin.
The methodology is known as the Cloward-Piven Strategy, and we can all be grateful to David Horowitz and his Discover the Networks for originally exposing and explaining it to us. He describes it as:
The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven were two lifelong members of Democratic Socialists of America who taught sociology at Columbia University (Piven later went on to City University of New York). In a May 1966 Nation magazine article titled "The Weight of the Poor," they outlined their strategy, proposing to use grassroots radical organizations to push ever more strident demands for public services at all levels of government.
The result, they predicted, would be "a profound financial and political crisis" that would unleash "powerful forces ... for major economic reform at the national level."
Must-Read NRO Piece Explores Reasons Behind Success of Not Evil Just Wrong Documentary.
Robert Costa writes on National Review Online (11/24), “Later that month, McAleer threw another dart Gore’s way — his film Not Evil Just Wrong. The documentary takes aim at Gore’s role in ginning up global-warming hysteria. McAleer tells NRO that he was spurred to make the film after a British High Court judge ruled in 2007 that Gore’s film contained several errors. McAleer tells us that he finds it amazing that many members of Congress are still hoping to pass cap-and-trade legislation. “That’s the longest and least-read suicide note in American history,” he says. “There is so much pressure to follow the European model,” says McAleer. “So, let me tell you about the European model of green jobs: It’s based on high taxes and high unemployment. Americans need to know this and think twice before they head down that road.”

Why Global Warming is Not Science By Daniel Greenfield
The Global Warming boom is big business for Green Companies and certain liberal politicians
The leaked email correspondence from the University of East Anglia, whose Climatic Research Unit is a key element in the push toward blaming humankind for the earth’s natural global and cooling cycles, only graphically revealed what was known all along, that the supposedly scientifically proven conclusions of global warming science were a political fortress guarding a scientific house of cards built on manipulated data and an aggressive campaign of silencing critics and dissenters.

Obama Science Czar John Holdren is directly involved in CRU’s unfolding Climategate scandal. In fact, according to files released by a CEU hacker or whistleblower, Holdren is involved in what Canada Free Press (CFP) columnist Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball terms “a truculent and nasty manner that provides a brief demonstration of his lack of understanding, commitment on faith and willingness to ridicule and bully people”.

Health Ministry: Be Careful With CFL Bulbs
The Health Ministry is recommending that individuals exposed to compact fluorescent lights for more than one hour a day make sure to stay at least 30 centimeters (about 12 inches) away from them. The popular, money saving CFL bulbs, the Ministry said, basing its decision on European health researchers, emits ultraviolet rays which can cause skin cancer. Although the likelihood of contracting cancer from the bulbs is small, the Ministry said, ensuring a distance of at least 30 centimeters from the bulbs during long periods of exposure is highly recommended.
The Ministry warning only applies to "naked" bulbs; when a bulb is covered by a plastic cover, even a clear one, the cover tends to absorb all the UV rays, studies it based it decision on said.

Lawyer Arrest in China after Obama Visit Spurs Action from Congressmen By Gary Feuerberg
Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA) spoke at an emergency press conference Nov. 23 on Capitol Hill on behalf of lawyer Jiang Tianyong, who is being increasingly harassed by the Chinese regime.
WASHINGTON—Jiang Tianyong, a veteran human rights lawyer, was unlawfully arrested during Obama’s visit to China recently, and is under further threat from the Chinese regime for seeking a meeting with the American president during that time, said Congressman Chris Smith.
Rep. Smith, a Republican from New Jersey, was prompted to hold an emergency press conference on Capitol Hill Nov. 23. He said that unless action is taken by the U.S. government, the communist regime may ratchet up the persecution of Jiang with a “show trial” and imprisonment in a forced labor camp.
“Several leading dissidents were rounded up, harassed, punched, beaten, threatened, and detained immediately prior to, during, and after the president’s visit.” said Congressman Smith.
Prior to his arrest, Jiang had just returned to China after spending four weeks in the United States. He had testified on Capitol Hill twice on his experience defending victims of forced abortions and sterilizations, part of China’s repressive one-child policy. Congress had an obligation to protect their witnesses, said Rep. Smith, and the harassment and threats to Jiang were an attack on the Congress.

Gilo in Perspective
How did the media report building plans for a Jerusalem suburb?
Israel has recently come in for international criticism over the approval for construction of 900 housing units in the southern Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo. Irrespective of one's views on this policy, it is the responsibility of the media to report on Gilo accurately and with the relevant context.
So how did some of the media refer to Gilo? .......
Why Won’t the Arabs Protect Themselves from Iran?
It isn’t hard to conclude that Iran having nuclear weapons is a direct threat to Arab states, except Syria—Tehran’s ally—which would benefit. Why, then, don’t Arab states and intellectuals public express more concern?
Western observers were shaken up when at a debate in Qatar, the relatively moderate Arab audience split almost down the middle between those cheering and those jeering the idea of Iranian nuclear weapons.

Travesty of justice: Navy SEALs face assault charges for capturing most-wanted jihad terrorist
The poor jihadi had a bloody lip!
Yet another Which Side Is Obama On Alert: "Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist," by Rowan Scarborough for FoxNews, November 24 (thanks to Mackie):
Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq -- the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.
The three, all members of the Navy's elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment -- called an admiral's mast -- and have requested a trial by court-martial.
The defective Policy by Abdulameer
Of course, "military policies failed to identify Maj. Hasan as a potential threat ", just as it has been our government's policy which failed to identify the belief system of Islam as a potential threat. That is why we failed to prevent 9/11. The defective policy is to consider that Islam is only another religion like other religions. We overlook what the greatest Islamic authorities say about their own religion, namely, that it is an all-encompassing ideology, unlike any other religion, and that this ideology is based on violent aggression toward non-Moslems until Islam becomes the only religion in the world. The Koran says this; Muhammad said it; the most respected Islamic religious authorities have said it -- and still say it. Hasan himself said it. All we have to do is listen to them and to take them seriously. They mean what they say. Take a look at the following:
-----------------------------
FROM THE KORAN:
--“ the (only) religion (acceptable) before God is Islam." (3:19)
-- " If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him." (3: 85)

Hundreds Riot in Egypt Over Muslim Rape Claim By Ethan Cole|Christian Post Reporter
Hundreds of angry Muslims, and by some accounts thousands, attacked Coptic Christians in a southern Egyptian town this past Saturday over an allegation that a Christian man kidnapped and raped a Muslim girl.
The mob looted and burned Christian owned stores in Farshoot, which is located about 300 miles south of Cairo, causing an estimated six million Egyptian pounds (over one million dollars) in damage, according to the Coptic American Friendship Association. Witnesses also reported that the mob made wooden crosses and burned them on the streets.
“We have never been so frightened and humiliated as Christians all our lives,” said one witness, according to Assyrian International News Agency (AINA). “Our religion and our Lord were openly insulted.”
Younger Pakistanis More Inclined to Islam, More Disillusioned With Politics, Study Finds By Patrick Goodenough, International Editor
(CNSNews.com) – Pakistan has long featured on security analysts’ shortlists of the world’s hotspots, but a comprehensive new survey of young Pakistanis’ attitudes signals that the situation could get significantly worse in the coming years.
Three-quarters of the 18-29 year olds surveyed for The British Council said they regard themselves as Muslims first and Pakistanis second, while one-third supported Islamic law (shari’a) and half expressed confidence in religious-based education, as provided by Islamic schools or madrassas.
NOTE: Is it any wonder that the Taliban is so popular in Pakistan? When will our learned analysts and political leaders start looking at the Islamic ideology that motivates all these hundreds of millions of people?
Iranian regime funds Columbia and Rutgers Universities?
(NY POST) Anti-Israel, pro-Iran university professors are being funded by a shadowy multimillion-dollar Islamic charity based in Manhattan that the feds charge is an illegal front for the repressive Iranian regime.
The deep-pocketed Alavi Foundation has aggressively given away hundreds of thousands of dollars to Columbia University and Rutgers University for Middle Eastern and Persian studies programs that employ professors sympathetic to the Iranian dictatorship.

Islamism 2.0 by Daniel Pipes
To borrow a computer term, if Ayatollah Khomeini, Osama bin Laden, and Nidal Hasan represent Islamism 1.0, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (the prime minister of Turkey), Tariq Ramadan (a Swiss intellectual), and Keith Ellison (a U.S. congressman) represent Islamism 2.0. The former kill more people but the latter pose a greater threat to Western civilization.
Hussam Ayloush (l.) hosted Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minn) at a CAIR event in November 2007.
The 1.0 version attacks those perceived as obstructing its goal of a society ruled by a global caliphate and totally regulated by the Shari'a (Islamic law). Islamism's original tactics, from totalitarian rule to mega-terrorism, encompass unlimited brutality. Three thousand dead in one attack? Bin Laden's search for atomic weaponry suggests the murderous toll could be a hundred or even a thousand times larger.
Fitzgerald: Instead Of Sending More Troops To Afghanistan, What Should Obama Do?
Obama is on the run. He has spent the past year in many separate, long trips all over the place. In Great Britain, he gave Gordon Brown some DVDs and Michele Obama in chummy fashion -- nobody here but us queens -- put her arm on the Queen's shoulder. In Russia, Obama decided to hold a Town Meeting to which both dissidents and members of the government, that is, of the K.G.B., were invited. He thus effectively shut up the dissidents and appalled all Russian liberals, who were distinctly unimpressed with his understanding of their situation.

Alert: We Have the Chance to KILL THE Health Care BILL IN THE NEXT CLOTURE VOTE there is a long way to go we must continue keep the pressure on.
How health care reform could fall apart
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid eked out 60 votes on a procedural motion to start the health care debate Saturday night – but there’s no guarantee he can pass a bill on the merits.
And as he struggles, the reasons are clear: deep divides among Democrats on a public insurance plan, abortion, tax hikes and cost-cutting. Liberals want the plan to be generous enough. Moderates fear a budget-buster. And everyone is trying to avoid angering seniors.
Even in the blush of Saturday’s victory, Reid (D-Nev.) is far from having the votes to move his $848 billion package to final passage. At least four centrists have pledged to oppose it in its current form, largely over the public option. Reid is in a bind. Stay to the left, and moderates vote no. Move a tad to the right, and Reid faces insurrection from the left, as liberals in his own caucus and in the House vow not to compromise any further on their signature issue.
Lawmakers Probe Climate Emails By KEITH JOHNSON and GAUTAM NAIK
Congressional Republicans have started investigating climate scientists whose hacked emails suggest they tried to squelch dissenting views about global warming.
An aide to Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), the ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said investigators are studying the documents, which unknown hackers stole last week from the computer of a prominent British climate-research center.
Investigators are focusing on the correspondence of White House Science Adviser John Holdren, he said. Dr. Holdren, a point man for the Obama administration on climate change, sent one of the hacked emails. In the 2003 email, Dr. Holdren, then at the Woods Hole Research Center in Woods Hole, Mass., defended research by Michael Mann of Pennsylvania State University, a scientist who believes global warming is man-made and who also sent some of the hacked emails.
The Day Global Warming Stood Still
Climate Change: As scientists confirm the earth has not warmed at all in the past decade, others wonder how this could be and what it means for Copenhagen. Maybe Al Gore can Photoshop something before December.
It will be a very cold winter of discontent for the warm-mongers. The climate show-and-tell in Copenhagen next month will be nothing more than a meaningless carbon-emitting jaunt, unable to decide just whom to blame or how to divvy up the profitable spoils of climate change hysteria.
The collapse of the talks coupled with the decision by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to put off the Kerry-Boxer cap-and-trade bill, the Senate's version of Waxman-Markey, until the spring thaw has led Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, the leading Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee, to declare victory over Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and the triumph of observable fact over junk science.
"I proudly declare 2009 as the 'Year of the Skeptic,' the year in which scientists who question the so-called global warming consensus are being heard," Inhofe said to Boxer in a Senate speech. "Until this year, any scientist, reporter or politician who dared raise even the slightest suspicion about the science behind global warming was dismissed and repeatedly mocked."
Inhofe added: "Today I have been vindicated."
The Ada (Oklahoma) Evening News quotes Inhofe: "So when Barbara Boxer, John Kerry and all the left get up there and say, 'Yes. We're going to pass a global warming bill,' I will be able to stand up and say, 'No, it's over. Get a life. You lost. I won,'" Inhofe said.

The warmist conspiracy: the emails that most damn Jones
Andrew Bolt
Saturday, November 21, 2009
These are the emails that should have Professor Phil Jones most worried about his future.
Jones, head of the CRU unit whose emails were leaked, has been under most fire so far over one email in particular in which he boasted of using a ‘“trick" to “hide the decline” that would have otherwise spoiled his graph showing temperatures soaring ever-upward.
But far more serious – at least in a legal sense – may be his apparent boasting of destroying data to stop sceptics from checking this alarmist work. If, as some emails suggest, he destroyed it to thwart FOI requests from Professor Ross McKitrick and Steve McIntyre, who’d already exposed as fake the Michael Mann “hockey stick”, Jones, one of the most active of the IPCC lead authors, could even face criminal charges.

ACORN Dumped Sensitive Documents as Probe Began, Private Investigator Says By Joseph Abrams

The United Socialist States of America Cal Thomas
Not all revolutions begin in the streets with tanks and guns. Some advance slowly, almost imperceptibly, until a nation is transformed and the public realizes too late that their freedoms are gone.
Such is the revolution now taking place in America. The '60s crowd has emerged from the ideological grave and is about to impose on this country a declaration of dependence in the form of government-run health insurance and treatment. It matters not what facts are known about this "coup," because to those from the '60s - whether they lived in that decade or were born later and adopted its ideology - only feelings and intentions matter, not truth and results.
Why would anyone trust government - which has a difficult enough time winning wars - to properly administer health care? What track record does government have in living up to its economic forecasts and competence in running anything?
But this is about none of that.
This is about liberal Democrats realizing their decades-old dream of complete control of our lives. Every move you make, every breath you take, they'll be watching you. Except, of course, when it comes to terrorists who want to destroy America faster than the liberals do. A different standard is applied to them.

How Jihadist groups conduct their activities on U.S. territory.
Frank Gaffney: Whose Side Are They On?
An unsettling question has begun to nag as Team Obama's conduct of security policy becomes ever more inconsistent with common sense - and, at least in some cases, manifestly at odds with our national interests: Whose side are they on?
Consider the following illustrative examples of such troubling behavior:
The Obama administration has done everything possible to obscure the true nature of the jihadist attack perpetrated at Fort Hood, Texas earlier this month. Unfortunately, it may not be merely complicating the prosecution of the alleged perpetrator, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. For instance, terrorism expert Steve Emerson has warned that, by charging Hasan only with murder rather than terrorist acts, the Justice Department is denying investigators tools available to law enforcement under the counter-terrorism Patriot Act.

Israeli ambulances need police escort in Jerusalem
Three local human rights groups were up in arms this week over a new directive preventing Israeli ambulances from entering Arab-dominated neighborhoods in eastern Jerusalem without a police escort.
The three groups - Adalah, Physicians for Human Rights - Israel and the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights - sent a letter to Israel's Health Ministry and the Jerusalem Police Department insisting that the directive is a violation of human rights. They also claimed that patient privacy was being violated by having police officers accompany medical crew.
The letter cited several instances where ambulances waited on the outskirts of Arab neighborhoods for long periods of time, often resulting in the worsening of the patient's condition before a police escort arrived. In other cases, police refused to provide an escort at all, citing danger to their forces.
The new directive was put in place in response to regular Arab attacks on Jewish ambulance crews. Often ambulances are called to treat the wounded resulting from a family feud, which are common in Arab communities. Agitated combatants quickly bring the Israelis into the conflict. Other times, the ambulance crews are attacked simply for being Jews.
Former Mossad MIA Man – Shalit Deal Catastrophic by Yoni Kempinski
(IsraelNN.com) In wake of the reports of a prisoner swap deal that may be finalized soon between Israel and the Hamas, Israel National News speaks with Rami Igra, who served as head of the Mossad's Prisoners and MIAs department.
In the following video, Igra estimates that, at this point the Hamas has many reasons to continue postponing and rejecting any deal. However, if the reports are accurate, Igra warns that the release of so many terrorists, and such prominent ones, will change the situation in the middle east.
COURAGE AND HONOR Prof. Paul Eidelberg
Is it a Jewish flaw or merely human frailty that spawned Israel's policy of "land for peace", a policy which has soaked the land of Israel in Jewish blood.
Some say this policy is animated by a Jewish death wish or by Jewish self-hatred. But "land for peace", as a policy of appeasement, is not a Jewish idea. President Eduard Benes of Czechoslovakia was not Jewish; yet, despite the heavily fortified (some experts say impregnable) Sudetenland, he succumbed to that spineless policy at Munich.
The truth is unpleasant: "land for peace", the policy of Israel's
ruling elites, signifies little more than cowardice, a human frailty. This frailty may be more prevalent among Jews whose modern psyche, tainted by egalitarianism, is oblivious of the aristocratic virtue Nietzsche called the "pathos of distance".
Israel's ruling elites therefore lack not only courage, but also its cousin, the sense of honor. It is this dual deficiency that produced the policy of "land for peace", which translates into the inane policy of "land for nothing", otherwise known as "unilateral disengagement". The "policy of the brave" is in truth the "policy of cowards".

Philippines Declares State of Emergency After 46 Killed
AMPATUAN, Philippines — The Philippine president placed two southern provinces under emergency rule Tuesday as security forces unearthed more bodies, pushing the death toll to 46 in some of the deadliest election violence in the nation's history.
Police and soldiers found 22 bodies in a hillside mass grave Tuesday, adding to the 24 bullet-riddled bodies recovered near the scene of Monday's massacre in Maguindanao province, said Chief Superintendent Josefino Cataluna of the Central Mindanao region.
This southern region of the Philippines is wracked by violent political rivalries, in addition to a long-running Islamic insurgency, but the killings have shocked this Southeast Asian nation. One adviser to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has described the massacre as the worst in the country's recent history. A media rights watchdog also says that it appears to be the world's worst mass killing of journalists, with as many as 20 reportedly among the dead.

Dems Win Vote to Proceed on Health Care on Party-Line Vote By Connie Hair
Disaster in the Making – by Jacob Laksin
With the Senate’s vote this Saturday to begin debate on health care legislation, the most contentious of the Obama administration’s domestic policy initiatives is back in the national spotlight. And with the Senate bill set to follow in the footsteps of its House predecessor by dramatically increasing the government’s role in health care, David Gratzer’s new pamphlet, “Why Obama’s Government Takeover of Health Care Will Be a Disaster,” the first in a series from Encounter Books, could not be timelier.

Global Warming Meltdown: Climategate! By Alan Caruba
Media Missing the Plot on ‘Climate Gate’: It’s the Fraud, Stupid! by Christopher C. Horner
To the credit of the New York Times, Associated Press and Washington Post — reliable outlets for promoting global warming alarmism, protecting those who craft it and marginalizing those who point out its weaknesses and excesses — they all ran stories in the past 48 hours addressing the documents somehow obtained from the computers of a UK university serving as the warming movement and industry’s Mother Ship. My great surprise is even greater because these outlets have demonstrated a pattern of only giving ink to embarrassing controversies after a week or so, once it appears that damage control is needed and the alarmists have gotten their story straight.
Palin in 2012? – by Alan Dowd
Sarah Palin’s media blitz—including a national book tour, an interview with Oprah, magazine cover stories and cable TV one-on-ones—serves as a reminder that whether you voted for her or against her, whether you love her or despise her, Sarah Palin is a political force to be reckoned with. This is the real reason she drew so much ire from the Left in 2008. And it’s the same reason she may give some Republicans pause in 2012.
Toward a Sustainable Immigration Policy Daniel Greenfield
While the rising threat of terrorism, violence and honor killings produced by Muslim immigration tends to be in the news lately, the problems produced by immigration are not limited solely to Islam. The problem of Muslim immigration was created by a larger trend in First World immigration policies that favors bringing in cheap labor for short term commercial and political gain. Such immigration policies however are seriously damaging to the nations that utilize them and cannot be sustained. So what we must do is look for a sustainable immigration policy.
The first principle we need to begin with is that immigration should be in a nation's interest. While this seems self-evident, it is a principle that has gone by the wayside. For a clear example of what that leads to, consider Obama's move to allow people infected with AIDS to freely enter the United States. Clearly the entry of people with a deadly communicable disease for which there is no cure into the United States is not in our interest. It is actually quite dangerous to us and offers us no benefits whatsoever to outweigh the risks. There are numerous examples in our immigration policy are less graphic but ultimately just as destructive.
New documents: White House scrambled to justify AmeriCorps firing after the fact By: BYRON YORK
Just hours after Sen. Charles Grassley and Rep. Darrell Issa released a report Friday on their investigation into the abrupt firing of AmeriCorps inspector general Gerald Walpin, the Obama White House gave the lawmakers a trove of new, previously-withheld documents on the affair. It was a twist on the now-familiar White House late-Friday release of bad news; this time, the new evidence was put out not only at the start of a weekend but also hours too late for inclusion in the report.
STONEWALLING: Obama Delaying Release of Union/Administration Contacts
Back in April the National Right To Work Legal Defense Foundation filed a freedom of information act asking the Department of Labor to release:
- Records from communications and recorded events where specified Obama appointees and Big Labor official were present
- Lists of lawsuits involving the Department of Labor and Deborah Greenfield within the past eight years.
- List of any gifts received by Solis in the past 5 years from Big Labor or its officials
Provide in detail (a) notes, (b) agreements, (c) communications, and (d) agendas related to the regulations related to the labor union and officer disclosure rules
- Copies of phone logs
- Copies of any notes or documents related to any enforcement of any labor laws and any outside groups such as labor unions, American Rights at Work, or ACORN
Not surprising, the President, whose most frequent White House visitor is the Head of the SEIU is stonewalling the request, so the the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation has filed a lawsuit in federal court, asking the judge to direct the administration to comply with the organization's FOIA request
NY 9/11 Trial Defendant Lawyers Confirm Not Guilty Plea/ America to be Put On Trial
Five years ago, the 9/11 commission reported that Khalid Shaihk Mohammed initially proposed a Sept. 11 attack involving 10 planes that would be used to attack CIA and FBI headquarters, unidentified nuclear plants and tall buildings in California and Washington state. KSL told interrogators that he planned to lead the hijacking of one aircraft himself. He intended to kill every adult male passenger aboard, then land at a U.S. airport and make a “speech denouncing U.S. policies in the Middle East before releasing all the women and children,” according to the report.
Now, thanks to President Obama he will get his chance.
Why its Important to call Major Hasan an Islamist Terrorist
To some people the debate about whether the Fort Hood Jihadist was a terrorist is a silly semantics discussion. The Fact is two years ago we were warned that future acts of terror would not come from al-Qaeda but from home grown Jihadists. Back in 2007 the Council on Foreign Relations reported:
Experts say it is quite likely the next terrorist attack in the United States will not be the work of well-trained al-Qaeda operatives sent from abroad, but rather that of an American citizen. As al-Qaeda leaders focus more of their energy on trying to inspire others to commit acts of terror, most security and counterterrorism officials believe their message will resonate with at least some small number of Americans. Such fears tend to focus on American Muslims, which might seem logical given recent events in Europe. Yet the American Islamic community also has proven one of the government’s best resources for preventing the emergence of homegrown Islamic terrorists.
Yemen On The Brink – by Stephen Brown
While the fighting in Afghanistan continues to dominate news coverage, one Middle Eastern country has emerged as a leading flashpoint of Islamic terrorism. Yemen, most recently in the headlines as the home of Anwar al Awlaki, the exiled imam who fled to the country after inspiring Fort Hood murderer Nidal Malik Hasan, has become a haven for al-Qaeda even as its internal turmoil has drawn in regional rivals like Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Yemen is the poorest and most unstable of all Middle Eastern countries. Located in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula, it occupies a strategic position that makes the country difficult to ignore. At its south-western tip, Yemen straddles one side of the strategic, 20-mile wide Mandab Strait that connects the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea, a vital international shipping lane leading to the Suez Canal. Equally important for world commerce, Saudi Arabia’s oil fields lie just across Yemen’s northern border.
UN Security Council Resolution 242 Adopted: November 22, 1967 Eli E. Hertz
Resolution 242 is the cornerstone for what it calls “a just and lasting peace.” It calls for a negotiated solution based on “secure and recognized boundaries” – recognizing the flaws in Israel’s previous temporary borders – the 1948 Armistice lines or the “Green Line”1 – by not calling upon Israel to withdraw from ‘all occupied territories,’ but rather “from territories occupied.”
The United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 242 in 1967 following the Six-Day War.2 It followed Israel’s takeover of the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip from Egypt, the Golan Heights from Syria, and the West Bank from Jordan. The resolution was to become the foundation for future peace negotiations. Yet contrary to Arab contentions, a careful examination of the resolution will show that it does not require Israel to return to the June 4, 1967 Armistice lines or “Green Line.”
Resolution 242 was approved on November 22, 1967, more than five months after the war. Although Israel launched a pre-emptive and surprise strike at Egypt on June 5, 1967, this was a response to months of belligerent declarations and actions by its Arab neighbors that triggered the war: 465,000 enemy troops, more than 2,880 tanks and 810 aircrafts, preparing for war, surrounded Israel in the weeks leading up to June 5, 1967. In addition, Egypt had imposed an illegal blockade against Israeli shipping by closing the Straits of Tiran, the Israeli outlet to the Red Sea and Israel’s only supply route to Asia – an act of aggression – in total violation of international law. In legal parlance, those hostile acts are recognized by the Law of Nations as a casus belli [Latin: Justification for acts of war].

Calling the Senate health care bill a package that Ponzi schemer "Bernie Madoff would really envy," Republican Sen. Jon Kyl said Sunday that the legislation to be debated in December is long on promises but short on accounting.
Deep Into Saturday Night's Health Care Vote by Jillian Bandes
Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu's vote in favor of Obamacare was purchased for $300 million on Saturday, giving Democrats the 60-vote supermajority that will, barring a miracle, pass health care reform that will possibly include a public option and abortion coverage.
The $300 million comes from a 2-page earmark inserted into the bill specifically for Louisiana, though the wording of the earmark didn't specifically name Louisiana as the recipient. It simply designated victims of national disasters within the last 7 years as eligible for certain federal funds — and the only citizens who that applies to are Katrina victims in Louisiana.
Two Battles Lost, The War Continues SALLY PIPES

WASHINGTON—Two days prior to President Obama’s departure for his Asian trip, which included four days in the People’s Republic of China, the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission held a press conference and hearing, Nov 10, on China’s one-child policy. Chaired by Congressman Chris Smith from New Jersey, the participants at the press conference were hopeful their testimony on China’s coercive and often violent family population controls would reach the President and influence his discussions with Chinese communist leaders.

No Room in Obama's Jerusalem for the Jew
The same media which can't be bothered to notice that there is a proxy war going on between Iran and Saudi Arabia in Yemen, with Saudi jets bombing civilian targets. Who have paid no attention whatsoever to a week of violence between Algerians and Egyptians that included stonings and death threats, are up in arms over the building of 900 housing units in the Gilo neighborhood in Jerusalem.
The Obama Administration and the media are naturally not upset by the Jerusalem municipality's decision to build 500 housing units for Arabs in Jerusalem. No they're upset by a private Jewish housing project built on privately owned land. And that double standard aptly conveys their premise that a Jewish house in Jerusalem is a "settlement", while an Arab house in Jerusalem is just a house. A Jewish home violates the "status quo" and is "unhelpful for peace", while an Arab home is just a home. There is of course a name for that sort of policy, it's one that Jimmy Carter who is still continuing his tour on behalf of Hamas knows quite well, Apartheid.
Hamas Using Shalit as Pawn for Fatah Unity by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
(IsraelNN.com) Hamas continues to spread the word that a deal is near for the release of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit in exchange for terrorists, but the terrorist party also may have an additional objective of using the issue to forge a unity agreement with the rival Fatah faction.
Hamas reportedly is considering a new deal for Shalit in return for significant changes in an Egyptian-sponsored peace pact with Fatah, headed by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, whose militia lost a bloody war more than two years go that resulted in Hamas taking full control of the Gaza region.
Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who vowed not to negotiate with terrorists for the release of Shalit, also declared he would cut off relations with Abbas if his Fatah faction and Hamas were to return to the days of a unity government. A Hamas-Fatah pact would signficantly strengthen the PA's political position in trying to force Israel to meet its demands for a resumption in talks for establishing a new Arab state within Israel's current borders.

Pro-Israel Canadians Strike Back with 'Buy-Cott' Campaign by David Lev
A recent editorial said that urging MEC to boycott Israeli goods would end up hurting the very people the anti-Israel groups claim they want to help; a boycott would 'penalize MEC, its Israeli suppliers and, ironically, Palestinian subcontractors who work for Source Vagabond Systems.'
Leftists and anti-Israel activists in Canada will be "celebrating" the United Nations' International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People November 28 with nationwide picketing of the country's MEC stores (Mountain Equipment Co-op), a 2.9 million member strong retail cooperative, that sells outdoor gear and clothing – while supporters of Israel hit back with increased efforts to promote a "buy-cott" of Israeli goods.

Politically Correct Terrorism, and the Invincible Ignorance of the Left By Jim O'Neill ***** Great article!
Europe is no longer Europe, it is Eurabia, a colony of Islam, where the Islamic invasion does not proceed only in a physical sense, but also in a mental and cultural sense. Servility to the invaders has poisoned democracy, with obvious consequences for the freedom of thought, and for the concept…of liberty.” — Oriana Fallaci Italian journalist/author/activist (1929-2006)
“Politically correct.” Leave it to the Left to come up with an Orwellian concept that muzzles free speech, stifles free thought, suppresses free choice, and then claim that it frees you.
“Politically correct”—as if any other way of thinking, speaking, or behaving, is incorrect.
If you are politically incorrect, then you are not following the party line—your politics are somehow out of sync, and you must be brought back into alignment with the correct, approved way of thinking, speaking, and behaving—for the good of the collective.
It is Marxist in its roots, stifling in its influence, and destructive in its effects
A friend recently wrote of his trip to China:
"Non-Moslem visitors to the Grand Mosque in Xi'an are not permitted to enter the prayer hall. While standing in front of the prayer hall, there was a small group of Australians, and one of them actually got permission to enter the prayer hall because he was Moslem. He removed his shoes and went in to pray. He looked totally Western. When he came out, I took the liberty to ask him some questions about the Koran and the sayings of Muhammad. It turns out that he is of Moslem-Indian origin, not a convert. He read the Koran in Arabic, but, because he does not understand Arabic, he had not the foggiest idea of what he was reading. He never read the Koran in English. Therefore, he never heard of any of the passages in the Koran which I asked him about. He said that he is not interested in any of that stuff; he merely observes the rituals and enjoys the serenity that comes from his prayers. There must be a great many such Moslems. This is why it is so important to distinguish between those Moslems who take the doctrines of Islam seriously and those who do not."
NOTE: The moslems described need to know more about the religion they claim and the rest of us need to know to in order to protect ourselves. Please click here to go to ACT! for America and join this great organization! Also see the links page for organizations reaching out to moslems.
200 Web sites spread al-Qaida's message in English Donna Abu-Nar/Lee Keath
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Increasing numbers of English-language Web sites are spreading al-Qaida's message to Muslims in the West. They translate writings and sermons once largely out of reach of English readers and often feature charismatic clerics like Anwar al-Awlaki, who exchanged dozens of e-mails with the Army psychiatrist accused of the Fort Hood shootings.
The U.S.-born al-Awlaki has been an inspiration to several militants arrested in the United States and Canada in recent years, with his Web-based sermons often turning up on their computers.
"The point is you don't have to be an official part of al-Qaida to spread hatred and sectarian views," said Evan Kohlmann, a senior investigator for the New York-based NEFA Foundation, which researches Islamic militants.
"If you look at the most influential documents in terms of homegrown terrorism cases, it's not training manuals on building bombs," Kohlmann said. "The most influential documents are the ones that are written by theological advisers, some of whom are not even official al-Qaida members."

Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta blew up a bus in Israel 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestine and in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called 'political prisoners.'
However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands, The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, 'insisted' that all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked us by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center ... This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports.

Clean Energy Will Lag Behind Global Power Demand: Chart of Day
“Wind turbines, solar panels and hydropower stations won’t be built fast enough to keep pace with global electricity demand through 2030, the International Energy Agency forecast. The CHART OF THE DAY shows a widening gap between power generated with renewable fuels and total consumption. That means coal-fired plants, which are cheaper and more polluting, will increase their share in the energy mix, discharging extra heat- trapping emissions that threaten to raise the planet’s temperature, the IEA said. To supply ballooning consumption in developing nations such as China and India, new generators will be needed that can produce more than four times the total electricity potential now in the U.S., the IEA said. That will cost $13.7 trillion, the Paris-based adviser to oil-consuming nations said, basing its scenario on existing state policies for fossil-fuel use. “We should expect coal to still be the primary generation choice in the future,” said Jose Garcia, of the Brattle Group in Madrid.
Obama’s Silence on China – by Matt Gurney Matt Gurney
The "hope" president has little to say about communist repression.
The BIGGEST LIE Yet
"It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth -- and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. ... For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it." --Patrick Henry
Sometimes the biggest lies come under cover of a truth.
Such was the case this week, when Barack Hussein Obama proffered this observation about deficits: "I think it is important, though, to recognize if we keep on adding to the debt, even in the midst of this recovery, that at some point, people could lose confidence in the U.S. economy in a way that could actually lead to a double-dip recession."
"Keep on adding to the debt"? From this, one might conclude that Obama has never suggested such a thing, and is truly concerned about deficits.
His revelation came amid discussion of tax reductions engineered to increase employment, as if our Constitution has a provision for that, anymore than for Obama's other proposals.
A Jacksonian Republican sweep? By: MICHAEL BARONE
Sometimes a poll result slaps you in the face. That was the case for me when I saw Public Policy Polling’s results in the 2nd congressional district of Arkansas. PPP has the incumbent, Democrat Vic Snyder, leading three unknown Republicans (two-thirds to three-quarters of respondents could not describe their feelings toward them) by margins of 44%-43%, 44%-42% and 45%-42%. No, it doesn’t matter which Republican got the best score. The news here is that a seven-term Democratic incumbent, an intelligent man (he has earned an M.D.) with no disqualifying personal characteristics or accusations of scandal (so far as I know) is running significantly below 50% and is essentially tied with three unknown Republicans.
Geithner: Economy Is Better By Any Measurement by Publius

Sheesh, tell that to the millions of people who have lost their job since January.
Apparently, “any measurement” doesn’t include the unemployment rate, job growth, number of jobs, wage growth, hours worked, home foreclosures, rate of mortgage delinquencies, etc.

Excused Horrors – by Walter Williams *****
Why leftists give the world's most horrible murderers a pass.
the reason why the world’s leftists give the world’s most horrible murderers a pass is because they sympathize with their socioeconomic goals, which include government ownership and/or control over the means of production. In the U.S., the call is for government control, through regulations, as opposed to ownership. Unfortunately, it matters little whether there is a Democratically or Republican-controlled Congress and White House; the march toward greater government control continues. It just happens at a quicker pace with Democrats in charge.
You say, “Come on, Williams, there will never be the kind of socialist oppression seen elsewhere here!” You might be right because Americans have become very compliant with unconstitutional and immoral congressional edicts. But what do you think would happen if some Americans began to rise up and heed Thomas Jefferson’s admonition “Whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.” and decided to disobey unconstitutional congressional edicts?
Schools let students seek secret abortions By Chelsea Schilling
Parents not notified when 12-year-olds obtain 'confidential' medical procedures
SACRAMENTO – A 12-year-old girl is prohibited from bringing aspirin to California public schools without a note from her mother or father – but in many California districts she may sign herself out of classes, leave her junior-high campus without parental permission, secretly have an abortion and return to school before the end of the day – and her own family may be none the wiser.
Parents and educators across the state have been in heated debate over school policies allowing children to be excused during class time without parental notification for "confidential medical services" such as abortions, birth control, and drug and mental health services.
They can't educate our kids, but they'll help them get abortions! Education elites have given us the 'dumbest generation' - It's all in "War on Children: How Pop Culture and Public Schools Put Our Kids at Risk"
Silence on Islam Kills, from Hassan to Honor Killings By Daniel Greenfield
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing” Edmund Burke
As the story of Nidal Hassan unfolds, it becomes painfully clear that the Jihadi Shrink who opened fire on US troops at Fort Hood did everything but spray paint, “I Am Going To Kill You All” on the wall, before he actually carried out his attack. Not only did Hassan put a Jihadist abbreviation on his business cards, he delivered repeated lectures justifying Jihad, accused the soldiers he was supposed to treat of War Crimes and was already being investigated for contacts with Al Queda and for defending suicide bombing online.

Biblical Open Borders? – by Mark D. Tooley *****
The religious Left’s latest fad.
Does the Bible specifically call for a virtual open borders policy and abrogation of immigration law enforcement? Not really. The Religious Left, now as always, selectively extracts Scripture to justify its latest political cause. Broad biblical calls for mercy and compassion always mystically mandate the Left’s most recent social and cultural demands.
The Religious Left insistence on virtual immigration law non-enforcement and near open borders often depends on mythologizing the “sojourners” of the Bible, whom liberal prelates insist were holy immigrants entitled to limitless hospitality from whatever nation they blessed with a visit. Of course, most of these biblical sojourners had the permission of the civil authority when visiting a foreign land, as Abraham did in Egypt, until Pharaoh compelled him to leave. The Religious Left usually forgets that part.
READ THE SCRIPTURES YOURSELF!!! Then you won't be fooled by SO-CALLED theologions! Check up on what your church teaches and get out of them if they don't agree with God!
"These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." Acts 17:11

Why China Told Obama To "Go Shove" the Global Warming Pact
Climate change legislation is an economy killer. An August study by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) and the American Council for Capital Formation (ACCF) measured the impact of The Waxman-Markey Bill (HR 2454) or Cap and Tax. As a reminder the bill passed the House of Representatives by a slim margin (219-212) early this summer. As with most of the democratic party legislation passed this year, Waxman-Markey was passed without being read by most of its proponents.
The Study show that Cap and Tax will be a disaster for the American Economy:
Cumulative Loss in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) up to $3.1 trillion (2012-2030)
Employment losses up to 2.4 million jobs in 2030
Residential electricity price increases up to 50 percent by 2030
Gasoline price increases (per gallon) up 26 percent by 2030
China Understands this. Its opposition to a global warming pact is tied to its economic growth. Asia did not go through the same recession as the rest of world. The World Bank forecasts this region in 2010 will see an average of 7.3% growth, with China on top at 9%. Why would Asia want to kill its economy with climate change legitimation like the western nations. The will just make sure they are around to pick up the broken economic pieces

Univ. of Missouri Study Finds Cap-and-Raid Will Raise Annual Costs on Farmers by a Staggering $31,000 a Year In the Future. U.S. Sen. Kit Bond writes in USA Today (11/17), “More than 30,000 Missourians recently sent cards to my office decrying cap-and-trade legislation that would raise their retail electricity rates up to 26% by 2012, 42% by 2020, and as much as 77% under worst case scenarios. The University of Missouri's Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute found that cap-and-trade would raise production costs at a representative Missouri grain farm by $11,650 in 2020 and $30,150 in 2050. These are costs my Missouri constituents do not want to pay, especially when U.S. unemployment tops 10%. Yet, that is exactly the environmental policy of cap-and-trade advocates: Make energy more expensive so people use less of it.
To China with Love: $1.5 Billion Wind Farm In Texas Will Create 330 Temporary Jobs in America, 3,000 Permanent Ones in China. Jim Landers writes in the Dallas Morning News (11/17), “The rush to America of foreign wind-turbine manufacturers shows that the Obama administration's plan for stimulating the creation of green-energy jobs is going in an odd direction. Two weeks ago, U.S. Renewable Energy Group, led by Dallas investor Cappy McGarr, announced plans to build a $1.5 billion wind energy farm in West Texas. About a third of the money would come from federal stimulus funds. All of the wind turbines (and much of the remaining investment capital) would come from China. There would be perhaps 330 jobs created in Texas. Most would be temporary construction jobs. Meanwhile, thousands of Chinese workers in the northeastern industrial city Shenyang would build the labor-intensive turbines.

Arizona legislators, convened in a special session, are setting about shaving nearly $460 million from this year’s $2 billion budget deficit.
The session, expected to run through tomorrow, was called by Gov. Jan Brewer. It will look at restoring funding to a handful of state agencies, authorizing an $18 million payment to Science Foundation Arizona to satisfy a court ruling, and making changes in the state’s foreclosure laws to provide some protections to homebuyers caught in the mortgage bubble while also shielding lenders, according to the report in the daily. The article includes recommendations that are being offered to deal with the fiasco.
For the first time since its 1912 statehood, Arizona is preparing to turn to outside lenders, borrowing enough cash to carry it through ongoing revenue shortfalls, state Treasurer Dean Martin said.

The Mentality of Israel’s Ruling Elites Prof. Paul Eidelberg
Israel’s ruling elites—left and right—suffer from profound mental disorder widespread in the democratic world, a world steeped in moral egalitarianism.
When the cultural differences between people are more central or significant than that which they have in common, it is futile and even pathological to persist in trying to dissolve their differences in the sea of moral egalitarianism. Selective inattention to the profound cultural antagonism between Jews and Muslims is a demophrenic escape from reality or an autistic flight into the world of symmetrical or homogeneous being. Otherwise sane people have created a world that does not exist—the case of Israel’s ruling elites—politicians and judges, professors and journalists.
.... in Arab Attitudes to Israel. Writing at a time when one did not have to fear the mindless charge of racism, Harkabi refers to Islam as a "combatant," "expansionist," and "authoritarian" creed. He admits that "The idea of Jihad is fundamental in Islam," in consequence of which "hatred," "hostility," and "conflict" are endemic to Arab culture. Moreover, he acknowledges that "the use of falsehood," "distortions of the truth," and "misleading slogans" are typical of Arab political life. In fact, Harkabi goes so far as to suggest that mendacity is "second nature" to the Arabs, that one may rightly regard "falsehood as an expression of [Arab] national character." For support he quotes the liberated Arab sociologist Sonia Hamady: "Lying is a widespread habit among the Arabs, and they have a low idea of truth."
With these comments in mind, certain conclusions follow: either Israel’s ruling elites are lying when they speak of a “two-state solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, or abysmally ignorant of Arab-Islamic culture and history, or so overwhelmed and emasculated by the enormity of Islam, that they foist on the public the absurdity that the conflict in question—which is only 1,400 years old—can be resolved by economic, diplomatic, and political means in contradistinction to war.

Breaking the Bank - Beijing and Health Care
The biggest single vote to be cast on health care reform is taking place right now. Not in the halls of Congress or in some smoke-filled back room. Not in the Oval Office. Not in the media.
No, the single most important vote on health care is being cast in, of all places, Beijing.
As the New York Times reported Sunday, Chinese officials are questioning American officials about health care reform in the U.S. As the Times wrote, “The Chinese were not particularly interested in the public option or universal health care....They wanted to know, in painstaking detail, how the health care plan would affect the [U.S.] deficit.” ..... But in the end, it may be that the health care bill being debated on Capitol Hill will turn out to be just too expensive. We cannot afford it.
Just ask the Chinese.

Senate to Vote TODAY on Judge David Hamilton - Ask your senator to NIX HIM!!!
Judge David Hamilton was Obama’s first federal court nomination, announced in March of this year. Today, his confirmation is scheduled to go before the Senate for a vote.
According to Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America,
"David Hamilton's litany of left-wing activist decisions makes him a dangerous choice to sit on a federal appellate court. Judge Hamilton has earned the opposition against his nomination to a higher court. He has fundraised for ACORN, worked for the ACLU, banned prayers that name Jesus Christ but allowed prayers that name Allah, blocked a parental consent law that had been upheld by the Supreme Court, and has been soft on child predators. Any senator who votes for David Hamilton is voting against religious freedom, parental rights, and the safety of our children."
$6.4 billion in Porkulus money spent in phantom districts? BY ED MORRISSEY
Earlier this morning, Sammy Benoit asked me how it felt to live in a much larger Minnesota, with new Congressional districts popping up all over. Any thrill of getting extra representation in Congress got muted by the fact that the Obama administration apparently added more phantom Congressional districts (440) than actually exist now (435), and that they somehow showed $6.4 billion in Porkulus money going to these nonexistent districts.

The Error of Spiritual Formation By Roger Oakland
When I first began writing in the field in the late 70s and early 80s the term "Spiritual Formation" was hardly known, except for highly specialized references in relation to the Catholic orders. Today it is a rare person who has not heard the term. Seminary courses in Spiritual Formation proliferate like baby rabbits. Huge numbers are seeking to become certified as Spiritual Directors to answer the cry of multiplied thousands for spiritual direction. - Richard Foster
A move away from the truth of God's Word to a mystical form of Christianity has infiltrated, to some degree, nearly all evangelical denominations. Few Bible teachers saw this avalanche coming. Now that it is underway, most do not realize it has even happened.
The best way to understand this process is to recall what happened during the Dark Ages when the Bible became the forbidden book. Until the reformers translated the Bible into the language of the common people, the great masses were in darkness. When the light of God's Word became available, the Gospel was once again understood.
I believe history is repeating itself. As the Word of God becomes less and less important, the rise in mystical experiences escalates, and these experiences are presented to convince the unsuspecting that Christianity is about feeling, touching, smelling, and seeing God. The postmodern mindset is the perfect environment for fostering spiritual formation. This term suggests there are various ways and means to get closer to God and to emulate Him.
Isaiah had it right when he wrote, "For you have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with influences from the east, and they are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike bargains with the children of foreigners" (Isaiah 2:5, 6).
Spiritual formation is just another "tickle the ears" effort drawing on experience rather than the Bible.

Ft. Hood Jihadist Was Trying to Get U.S. Soldiers Arrested For War Crimes
Despite the rash of information connecting Fort Hood Jihadist Nidal Malik Hasan to terrorist entities, our POTUS and the mainstream media still refuse to call the shooting and act of Islamist Terror.
Their version of the story is, he was upset at the pressures of being an Army Psychiatrist and the prospect of being sent overseas to fight against other Muslims. He faced horrible discrimination from other soldiers, Major Hasan asked the Army to let him out of his service as a conscientious objector. When the Army said no, he snapped, went crazy and started killing.
Of Course the record shows that he never asked to be let out of the Army and every day there is a new revelation about his terrorist connections.
Today's Red Flag is Hasan was trying to get the army to arrest soldiers he claimed committed war crimes in Iraq and/or Afghanistan, and it might have been his superiors refusal to listen to his claims that drove him over the edge

Maori people and the Hebrew Scriptures.
Adrian Bates talks to Graham and Tui Cruickshank about the knowledge of the one true God—preserved for millennia in Polynesian culture.
New Zealand Maoris retain knowledge of the Creator, Io, Who has the same attributes as the LORD God of the Bible. This knowledge pre-dates any missionary influence.
Since all people groups come from Noah and his family, it should be no surprise that most have memories of the one true Creator God. The Maori people of New Zealand are no exception. Their traditions speak of such a God they call “Io Matua Kore” (Io the Parentless). Graham Cruickshank and his wife Tui, a dynamic couple, have found that this ancient tradition has been most significant in their Christian outreach to the Maori and their Pacific island relatives, much like Paul’s teaching of the “unknown God” to the Athenians on Mars Hill (Acts 17).
It was from their outreach experience that Graham and Tui came upon the significance of the Io knowledge to the Maori people and the Hebrew Scriptures. This knowledge had travelled with the ancestors of the Maori in their odyssey from the Middle East across the planet all the way to Hawaii and from there to New Zealand—to the ends of the earth.

Obama in China and Twilight for America By Daniel Greenfield
Shiite Middle East, a Chinese Asia, a Marxist Latin America and a Russian Europe-- America in twilight will once again stand alone
The first year of Obama has seen America retreating on all fronts. The country that once pressed back the Russian bear, has instead pulled up the missile shield and sent the signal to Moscow that the former Soviet Republicans can no longer count on US aid to insure their independence. On China, Obama has switched to a policy of “Strategic Reassurance”, which is a fancy way of retreating and saying “Nice Doggie”, without actually even bothering to hunt for the stick.

Alaska fights to reverse polar bear listing By DAN JOLING

Like his predecessor, Sarah Palin, the governor is suing the federal government to overturn the listing of the iconic symbol of the Arctic as a threatened species, a move made last year that he believes could threaten Alaska's lifeblood: petroleum development.
Why I Murdered 13 American Soldiers at Fort Hood: Nidal Hassan Explains It All to You
By Barry Rubin *****
How do we know that the attack at Fort Hood was an act of Islamist terrorism? Simple, Major Nidal Hassan told us so. You’ve seen reports of a long list of things he did and said along these lines. But what’s most amazing of all is this:
Hassan is the first terrorist in history to give an academic lecture explaining why he was about to attack. Yet that still isn’t enough for too many people—including the president of the United States--to understand that the murderous assault at Fort Hood was a Jihad attack.
It was reported that the audience was shocked and frightened by his lecture. He was supposed to speak on some medical topic yet instead talked on the topic: “The Koranic World View as it Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military.” All you have to do is look at the 50 Power Point slides and they tell you everything you need to know.

President Obama needs to throw his “Muslims can do no evil” rose-colored glasses off and see the real world. After listening to remarks by Barack Hussein Obama in Fort Hood, Texas, we were struck by how unemotional he is to tragedy. That is, Obama appears to be genuinely mourning the victims of the brutal jihad-inspired massacre that left 13 dead; but even now, he refuses to understand the gravity of the events and underlying reasons that led to this terrorist attack on America’s valiant soldiers

Obama green-lights Arab land grab By Aaron Klein
But Israel threatens retaliation if U.N. approves Palestinian state
TEL AVIV – A top Palestinian Authority official told WND that the PA reached an understanding with the Obama administration regarding a Palestinian threat to unilaterally ask the United Nations to recognize a Palestinian state outside of negotiations with Israel.
Ahmed Qurei, former PA prime minister and member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization executive committee, said in an interview that the PA "reached an understanding with important elements within the administration" to possibly bring to the U.N. Security Council a resolution to unilaterally create a Palestinian state.
Asked to which "elements" he was referring, Qurei would only say they were from the Obama administration.
Egypt: The Systematic Annihilation of the Coptic Christians
The oldest Christian community faces harsh new pressures
The first two months of the Coptic new year have been a sombre time for Egypt’s ancient Christian community. The new year fell on the inauspicious date of September 11. And a spate of attacks on this large and downtrodden community by Islamist extremists or villagers giving a religious pretext to petty quarrels have provoked accusations of officially tolerated discrimination and heightened fears that Islamists will be emboldened to undercut the laws that promise religious freedom and legal equality in Egypt.
It’s NOT the Economy, Stupid! Paul Eidelberg Posting entire article as is very good!
A reader reminds me what I have often written about, namely, Israel’s efforts after the Six Day War of June 1967 to raise the standard of living of “West Bank” Arabs.
As noted in my forthcoming book, “An American Political Scientist in Israel,” the Arabs in Judea and Samaria were more prosperous and exercised far more self-determination under Israel than they now do under the PLO-Palestinian Authority! Under Israel’s benevolent rule they elected their own mayors and enjoyed rights and opportunities non-existent in the entire Arab-Islamic world.
While the “West Bank” was occupied by Jordan, and Gaza by Egypt, conditions in these territories were quite dire. Life expectancy was low, malnutrition, infectious diseases, and child mortality were rife; and the level of education was very poor. Fewer than 60 percent of all male adults had been employed. When Israel regained possession of this land after the 1967 war, its government established new hospitals, health centers, and nursing schools. Infant mortality was greatly reduced and the standard of health improved beyond recognition. Roads as well as water and electric power facilities were constructed. Modern methods of agriculture were introduced. A system of primary and secondary schools was established, which greatly multiplied the number of girls and boys attending classes. Even more dramatic was the progress in higher education. From none in 1967, by the early 1990s, there were seven universities boasting some 16,500 students (where, unfortunately, they were also taught by their mentors, to hate Jews).
Eventually, tens of thousands of “West Bank” Arabs were employed in Israel. The Arabs’ standard of living doubled and quadrupled. According to George Gilder: “Under Israeli management, economic growth in the West Bank and Gaza surged for some twenty years at a rate of 30 percent in 1979, averaging 25 percent per year …” (By the way, Gilder points out that “…without the presence of the Jews, there is no evidence that the Palestinians would particularly want these territories for a nation.” “During the 1970s, the West Bank and Gaza constituted the fourth fastest-growing economy in the world … with per capita GDP expanding tenfold between 1968 and 1991 … Life expectancy rose from 48 years in 1967 to 72 in 2000 … By 1986, 92.8 percent of the population … had electricity around the clock, as compared to 20.5 percent in 1967 … [Similar advances occurred in hygiene, healthcare, child mortality, immunizations, and communications, which all rose to levels equal or exceeding other Middle East countries].
Despite Israel’s “economic solution” to the plight and hostility of the Palestinians, their deeply engrained Islamic hatred of Jews never waned.
Those who think there are economic solutions to ideological and/or international ideological conflicts forget that no European country was more prosperous than Germany in the 19th century, yet this did not prevent Germany from waging war against France.
Israel’s ruling elites like to believe that a middle class Palestinian society will live in peace with Israel. They forget that aggressive, militaristic sentiments and ambitions are not uncommon in places with a rising middle class.
Finally, one often says in America, “It’s the economy, stupid.’ As concerns the Palestinians, however, one must say—as suggested by one of my readers: “It’s NOT the economy, stupid!”

Dr. Walid Phares Takes a Bite Out of the Big Apple Terror Trial *****
Dr. Walid Phares of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies gives his analysis of the Obama Administration's decision to try terrorists accused of the 9/11 attacks as criminals in a Manhattan courtroom.
The Worst Decision by a US President in History – by David Horowitz
The dire consequences of al-Qaeda jihadists being tried in a civilian court.
The Obama administration has taken a giant step in its march to throw in the towel in the war against radical Islam. On FoxNews this morning, Peter King said of the decision to try the soldiers of al-Qaeda — who by their own account have no country but their cause — as civilians
“may be the worst decision by a U.S. president in history.”
It certainly is. It sends a signal to terrorists everywhere to attack civilians.
The administration is justifying its decisions on the grounds that because the 9/11 attackers targeted civilians they should be tried as civilians. This makes no sense unless you are a Democrat who believes that the “holy war” that Islamic jihadists have formally declared on us is no different from the acts of isolated individuals who have decided to break the law. This is the approach to the war on terror that John Kerry championed in 2004. Now that Americans have had the poor judgment — the suicidally poor judgment — to make a leftist their president, this is the strategy our nation is set to pursue.
The decision to try the jihadists in a civilian court is also a decision which will divulge America’s security secrets to the enemy since civilian courts afford defendants the right of discovery. It is also a propaganda gift to Islamic murderers who will turn the courtroom into a media circus to promote their hatred against the Great Satan — a hatred shared by their apologists at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the pro-Castro Center for Constitutional Rights who have pioneered the campaign against Guantanamo and whose influence in the Obama Administration is pervasive. (BTW, The newly appointed lawyer for the president is the husband of Obama’s recently departed Maoist communications director Anita Dunn.)
Finally, this move continues and enlarges the refusal of the President and the American Left to recognize that:
We are in a war that has been declared on us — in which we, in other words, are the victims.
That the war is conducted by religious armies whose war is inspired by their reading of the Koran.
That the number of Muslims who support their war plan is in the tens of millions
That they are aided and abetted by many Islamic governments and by the international Left.
"We're turning 200 years on its head by treating terrorists like criminals and giving them constitutional rights. We're giving up the ability to interrogate and detain them, because from now on they'll lawyer up. To say this 'undermines our national security' is to soft-pedal it." -Rush
Holder's Hidden Agenda . . . [Andy McCarthy]
This summer, I theorized that Attorney General Eric Holder — and his boss — had a hidden agenda in ordering a re-investigation of the CIA for six-year-old alleged interrogation excesses that had already been scrutinized by non-partisan DOJ prosecutors who had found no basis for prosecution. The continuing investigations of Bush-era counterterrorism policies (i.e., the policies that kept us safe from more domestic terror attacks), coupled with the Holder Justice Department's obsession to disclose classified national-defense information from that period, enable Holder to give the hard Left the "reckoning" that he and Obama promised during the 2008 campaign. It would be too politically explosive for Obama/Holder to do the dirty work of charging Bush administration officials; but as new revelations from investigations and declassifications are churned out, Leftist lawyers use them to urge European and international tribunals to bring "torture" and "war crimes" indictments. Thus, administration cooperation gives Obama's base the reckoning it demands but Obama gets to deny responsibility for any actual prosecutions.
Today's announcement that KSM and other top al-Qaeda terrorists will be transferred to Manhattan federal court for civilian trials neatly fits this hidden agenda. Nothing results in more disclosures of government intelligence than civilian trials. They are a banquet of information, not just at the discovery stage but in the trial process itself, where witnesses — intelligence sources — must expose themselves and their secrets.

Obama's failure, Netanyahu's opportunity By Caroline B. Glick
Once again, US President Barack Obama has demonstrated his intention of "putting light" between America and Israel. His hostility towards Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu during the latter's visit to Washington this week was breathtaking.
It isn't every day that you can see an American President leaving the Prime Minister of an allied government twisting in the wind for weeks before deciding to grant him an audience at the White House.
It isn't every day that a visiting leader from a strategically vital US ally is brought into the White House in an unmarked van in the middle of the night rather than greeted like a friend at the front door; is forbidden to have his picture taken with the President; is forced to leave the White House alone, through a side exit; and is ordered to keep the contents of his meeting with the President secret.
Ahead of Obama's meeting with Netanyahu, the Wall Street Journal reported that Obama was effectively attempting to blackmail the Israeli premier by conditioning the meeting on Netanyahu's willingness to make tangible concessions to the Palestinians during his speech before the General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America.

Warning sign to Obama Yoram Ettinger
Republican Nov. 2009 win highlights burst of Obama's invincibility bubble
The November 2009 Republican victory has exacerbated Democratic anxiety about the November 2010 election for all 435 House seats, 36 Senate seats and 36 governorships. The GOP success constitutes a severe warning sign to President Obama, who worked tirelessly on behalf of the losers in the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial races.
From a Coattail President in 2008, Obama is transforming into an Anchor-Chained President in 2009. He has taken a steep dive in the polls, from 65% approval in January to 48% in November – the sharpest deterioration since President Ford's pardon of Nixon. Obama's strong nucleus of support has shrunk from 44% to 29%, while his strong nucleus of opposition has expanded from 14% to 41%. He could become a lame duck president faster than his predecessors at the White House.

Last night former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura made a secret visit to the devastated military families at Fort Hood. The Bushes instructed the commander of the mourning military base that they wanted no publicity. With their Secret Service detail, Bush and his wife made the 30 mile trip unannounced from their ranch near Crawford, Texas Friday evening.
Fox News broke news of the visit this afternoon. Other sources said the former first couple spent about two hours meeting with family and soldiers, talking quietly and at times hugging them as they did in private at other times of crisis such as post-9/11.

The Environmental Transport Association in the UK, believes that electric cars could increase the rate of climate change, depending on how the electricity is created. In many countries when people plug in their electric car they would be plugging into a lump of coal.
The Natural Resources Defense Council in the UK reported last year that electric cars will add to CO2 levels especially if coal remains a major source of electricity. "sales of electric cars are likely to result in higher overall CO2 emissions and oil consumption." The Environmental Transport Association's bottom line for the report: if you're using coal to make electricity, then standard hybrids are better than plug-ins

The Third Jihad Watch the Documentary Online
The Third Jihad, the newest offering from the producers of the captivating documentary film, Obsession, explores the existence of radical Islam in America and the emerging risk that this “homegrown jihad” poses to national security, western liberties and the “American way of life.”
In 72 minutes, the film reveals that radical Islamists driven by a religiously motivated rejection of western values cultures and religion are engaging in a multifaceted strategy to overcome the western world. In contrast to the use of “violent jihad” and terror to instill fear in “non-believers,” The Third Jihad introduces the concept of “cultural jihad” as a means to infiltrate and undermine our society from within.

Natural selection cannot explain the origin of life by David Catchpoole, Jonathan Sarfati and Don Batten
While Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species has been described as “a grand narrative—a story of origins that would change the world”, ironically his book very pointedly avoided the question of the origin of life itself.
This ought not be surprising. Darwin’s theory of the origin of species “by means of natural selection” presupposes self-reproduction, so can’t explain the origin of self-reproduction.
Unfortunately, many proponents of evolution seem unaware of that. They don’t acknowledge that natural selection requires pre-existing life.

The GOP, a Revolutionary Party Once Again By Daniel Greenfield
Heading into the 2010 elections, the Republican party is best characterized by its schizophrenic structure with a complacent political leadership and a radicalized populist grass roots movement. If the Democracy party acts like it’s out of power even when it’s in power, the Republican party acts like it’s in power, even when it’s out of power. And that is unfortunately rooted in the character of the Republican party as a conservative party, a party of the status quo, even when it can’t figure out what that status quo actually is.

A Radioactive Third Rail Article Jim O'Neill ******* A must read
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. ...He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.”—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC—43 BC)
A Collectivist is someone who wants to eliminate, or at least severely reduce personal freedom, and make the state all powerful. A Globalist, or Global Collectivist, is simply someone who wants an all powerful world state, such as the UN, running the planet. Pulling the UN’s strings, would be an international oligarchy—the Ruling Elite.
America has had politicians, on both sides of the political fence, that have been plotting her downfall for years. It’s not a conspiracy theory folks; it’s a conspiracy fact. Actually, it’s not even a conspiracy—it’s out there for all to see—you just need to look.
Global Collectivists now permeate our government, and their duplicitous betrayal of America is treasonous. The main reason why they are not on trial, is because there are so many of them. As Ovid noted centuries ago, nobody is going to call traitorous behavior treason, when a sufficient number are involved in it.
It Isn't Political Correctness, It's Shariah By Pamela Geller **** must read
In surveying the cultural carnage in the wake of the worst terrorist attack on a military installation in US history, it bears noting that there have been seismic shifts in America. When America was free of the shackles of Islam, say, fifty years ago, the current response to such an attack by an enemy faction would have been unthinkable.
I have watched in abject horror the stunning reaction of elites in this country to this act of war. The denial, the submission, the excuses, the dodging, the self-flagellation, the shame, the deceiving of the American people by the media, the military, society, law enforcement, authorities and politicians, all the way up to and including the White House, amounts to the enforcement of Shariah law.
Shariah law forbids criticism of Islam. And here we are.
We are witnessing an Islamized America. This is well beyond political correctness. We are enforcing Shariah law. We will not insult Islam. That is Shariah law. We self censor. That is Shariah law. We disrespect ourselves, our nation, so that we might respect Islam. This is dhimmitude. We should be raging. We should be outraged. We should be strategizing for this worldwide conflict. We should be debating about which leader will best handle Islam's war on the West. And yet we have not one leader who begins to understand the conflict -- that's how feared the subject matter is. Not one leader.
Recanvassing shows NY-23 race tightens even as Rep. Bill Owens is sworn into House seat By Mark Weiner / The Post-Standard
Democrat Bill Owens delivers his victory speech at his headquarters in Plattsburgh last week. Owens declared victory after Conservative nominee Doug Hoffman conceded the 23rd Congressional District race election night. Now recanvassing shows the special election has narrowed to a 3,000-vote difference, and will be decided by a count of absentee ballots.
But Hoffman’s concession -- based on snafus in Oswego County and elsewhere that left his vote undercounted -- set off a chain of events that echoed all the way to Washington, D.C., and helped secure passage of a historic health care reform bill.
...., inspectors found Hoffman actually won by 1,748 votes -- 12,748 to 11,000.
The new vote totals mean the race will be decided by absentee ballots, of which about 10,200 were distributed, said John Conklin, communications director for the state Board of Elections.
ENDA - Beginning of the End for Christian Dissent? By: Craig L. Parshall
When you’re caught in a tsunami, the objective assessment of weather patterns is usually the last thing on your mind. But since my testimony last week before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions in opposition to the gay-rights inspired Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) – and in the wake of the homosexual movement-supported hate crimes bill recently signed by President Obama – I’ve been checking the political & cultural “weather,” and it is clear that hurricane season is upon us. First Amendment advocates everywhere ought to be shocked by the statement of Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) during the Senate hearing, when he praised ENDA as something that will move America from mere “tolerance” of homosexuality to actual “acceptance.” I would hasten to add: forced acceptance by the coercive arm of the federal government. Under ENDA, employers will be subjected to budget-crushing lawsuits, money damages, and the payment of plaintiff’s attorney fees for their failure to hire or promote persons because of their sexual orientation, or “gender identity” (read: transgender, transvestite, etc.). I opined in the hearing that the so-called “exemption” for religious groups in ENDA is more mirage than reality. Courts have already ruled that religious groups get no exemption regarding any discrimination that is deemed to be based on “gender,” and federal judges have stated that sexual orientation bias is basically a form of “gender discrimination” (rather than a form of “religious” discrimination) under Title VII (the existing employment discrimination law).
David Hamilton, the "No to Jesus, Yes to Allah" judge, is headed for a full Senate confirmation vote as soon as next week. Contact your Senators!
The Egalitarian Syndrome *** Prof. Paul Eidelberg Foundation for Constitutional Democracy
A propos of the Muslim massacre at Fort Hood and the media’s failure to fault Islam for this massacre, I am updating an 1999 article of mine. I invite readers to think about the educators of our “politically correct” or non-judgmental media, because the core of the problem consists not in cowardly or obfuscating journalists but rather the universities that educated them.
We boast of these universities, even though they produce so many moral idiots. I mean men and women stultified by the academic doctrine of moral or cultural relativism. Because it is this doctrine that prompts “politically correct” fools to hire Muslims to serve on US military bases and even head the US Department of Homeland Security. I am speaking of a doctrine that has corrupted even the President of the United States, a doctrine that prompts him to turn a blind eye toward Muslims or Arabs who call “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.”
What is even more fundamental, I invite readers to think about the normless democracy now prevalent in the United States, a democracy whose cardinal principles, equality and freedom, no longer have rational and ethical constraints. America is so proud of this democracy, not knowing it is self-destructing vis-à-vis a religion whose deity exalts death.
This said, I turn to the article I wrote in 1999, whose philosophical source is my critique of the American education which appeared in the Congressional Record, Senate, July 31, 1968.

THE first thing a journalist - I mean a real journalist - would do is tell you what actually happened.
Like this: an American officer shot dead 13 soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas on Friday.
Then the second thing a journalist - a real one - would do is to try to explain why. You know, to help you make sense of this, and to help stop such a terrible thing from happening again.
So this real journalist would be keen to pass on to you these following clues.

Palestinian Authority Mourns Yasser Arafat Today- The Man Who DESTROYED Palestine
No More Heblish
I have had it with Israeli and Jewish spokespeople communicating in a fractured linguistic mess known as “Heblish.”
For those that have not been paying attention, Islamofacist terrorists declared War on America in the 1970s. In 2001, we finally declared war on them. As for Israel, these terrorists began their Jihad 1400 years ago. Israel has fought back brilliantly from a military standpoint. Yet from a public relations standpoint, it pains me as a Republican Jew to see the two worst marketed products on the planet be the Republican Party and Israel.
A badly marketed Republican Party is frustrating, but not life and death. Yet losing a public relations battle during a war is life and death.
America won the Vietnam War on the battlefield. We lost on the evening news. America routed the Taliban in Afghanistan and thrashed Saddam Hussein in Iraq, yet lost the battle back home by failing to forcefully rebut the editorial idiocy of the Jayson Blair Times.
With Republican Americans, the issue is one of public speaking. Ronald Reagan was that rare breed of human being that had a goodness of heart and a brilliance of communicating. George W. Bush had a noble heart, but his lack of articulateness hurt the party. He was content to let his deeds do the talking. This is commendable from a decency standpoint, but unfortunately, politics is about perception. It does not matter that Bill Clinton and Barack Obama offer vapid words that say nothing and mean even less than that. They sound good saying nonsense, which allows them to persuade people.
In the long run, the only thing that matters is if the message is communicated. It is in this vein that Israel is flailing, trailing, and failing.
Same Old, Same Old at Fort Hood By Victor Davis Hanson
This attack was the rule, not the exception.
Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan is accused of murdering last week 13 people (12 of whom were soldiers) and wounding another 30 at Fort Hood, Texas. It was not the first, nor will it be the last, domestic terrorist incident since Sept. 11, 2001.
We now see that authorities had, or should have had, reason to be suspicious of Hasan — including his contact with a radical cleric and a bizarre “medical” presentation he once gave to Army doctors that focused on Islam and the military.
Now, we’re also learning that someone going by the name Nidal Hasan posted extremist views on the Internet, and that at least one former classmate questioned his loyalty to America.
Yet no one acted........
Nidal Hasan's Powerpoint Presentation Explaining the Koran and Islam
Jihad Watch: Here is Nidal Hasan's PowerPoint presentation about Islam, Muslims, and the military. Note the copious quoting of the Koran; the explanation of the doctrine of abrogation (citing Koran 2:106 and 16:101), which usuallyIslamic apologists in the West dismiss as an invention of "Islamophobes"; and the explanations of defensive and offensive jihad.
Islamic spokesmen in the U.S., if anyone asks them to comment on this at all, will dismiss it as an "extremist" interpretation of Islam and claim that no Muslims in the U.S., not one, believe in this understanding of Islam. But I guarantee you that none of the, not one, will offer a specific alternative explanation of the verses he cites, or of his doctrine of jihad, or of his understanding of Islam

MAJOR MUSLIM HASAN'S IMAM ANWAR AL AWLAKI'S FACEBOOK PAGE - WHERE'S NATIONAL DEFENSE AND HOMELAND SECURITY?

Major Muslim Hasan attended a mosque run by a radical imam named Anwar al Awlaki.
Check out Anwar Al Awlaki's Facebook fan page...over 5000 fans, many of them in the US, and so very many young college age males. One of his 'fans' is Sameir Ibrahim, a soldier (of allah?) in the US Army. I think Awlaki's fan list should be ...vetted.

CAIR speaker to Muslims: OK to attack Fort Bragg
Exhorts Islamic faithful to target planes carrying '82nd Airborne'
A Council on American-Islamic Relations adviser and regular speaker at its events has suggested Islamic law permits Muslims to attack C-130 military transport planes carrying the 82nd Airborne out of Fort Bragg, N.C., according to a stunning new book exposing Washington-based CAIR's inner workings.
Radical Islamic cleric Zaid Shakir, a frequent guest speaker at CAIR events, tells his Muslim audiences: "Jihad is physically fighting the enemies of Islam to protect and advance the religion of Islam. This is jihad."
Acceptable targets of jihad, he says, include U.S. military aircraft
Political Appointees from EPA Order Employees Critical of Cap-and-Raid to Pull Down YouTube Video. Washington Post (11/11) reports, “Two Environmental Protection Agency lawyers who made a YouTube video calling current climate legislation a "huge mistake" were told by the agency to remove the clip and edit out some references to their employer, one of them said. Allan Zabel and Laurie Williams, a husband and wife who have worked in the EPA's San Francisco office for more than 20 years, have been outspoken in their opposition to a "cap and trade" system for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. That system is at the heart of a climate bill passed by the House this summer, and another under consideration in the Senate. A few days later, Williams said, they were approached by EPA ethics officials. She said the officials demanded they take down a YouTube video they had posted in September that made many of the same points.

Marwan Barghouti could stand as Palestinian president
A former militia leader serving five life sentences in an Israeli prison for a bombing in Tel Aviv has emerged as the likely successor to Mahmoud Abbas, the moderate Palestinian leader who plans to stand down.
Marwan Barghouti, a charismatic figure who enjoys widespread support across the Palestinian territories, is considering making a stand if presidential elections go ahead as scheduled for January, officials in the West Bank said.
The prospect of a prison cell campaign would delight many ordinary Palestinians as well a number of left-wing Israeli politicians.
But it could also please pragmatists in the Jewish state who see Barghouti as a vital element of the Middle East peace process who could unite Hamas and Fatah.
Conclusive Evidence Proves Iran Missiles on Weapons Ship by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
(IsraelNN.com) The Foreign Ministry disclosed Wednesday that examinations of weapons found on the ship stopped by Israel on the high seas two weeks ago prove that Iran is the source. “An examination of the munitions seized proves conclusively that the source of the arms was Iran.

Anti-Israel Muslim Running for Governor of Texas
Especially with the Jihadist attack in Texas last week, it's important to note that an anti-Israel Muslim is ironically running for Governor of Texas.
From Debbie Schlussel:
....Farouk Shami owns Farouk Systems....he is a vehemently anti-Israel "Palestinian" Muslim.....Mr. Shami said in a speech....that Farouk Systems supports that view. If you buy CHI or BioSillk, that’s where your money is going. His Sheikh Mohammad Shami Foundation gives hundreds of thousands of dollars to build extremist schools and other projects in the so-called West Bank and HAMAS-dominated Gaza (along with your tax-funded USAID money).
...Now, he’s running for Governor of Texas, as a Democrat (though he has a lot of close Republican friends, including Texas Governor Rick Perry and Texas U.S. Senate candidate/Houston Mayor Bill White, both of whom he recently hosted at his home. And Shami has been heavily promoted, via several disgustingly gushing softball interviews, on FOX Business Channel (including by the normally good David Asman).

Israeli Settlements are legal and legitimate under US law JACOB KANTER
The Office for Israeli Constitutional Law, a non-governmental legal action organization, sent a letter to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last week, warning that by labeling Jewish settlements in the West Bank illegal, she is violating international law.
The little-known Anglo-American Convention, a treaty signed by the US and British governments in 1924, stipulated that the US fully accepted upon itself the Mandate for Palestine, which declared all of the West Bank within its borders.
"The treaty has been hidden," said OFICL director Mark Kaplan. "But if you look at the House [of Representatives] deliberations during World War I, people are saying, 'Look, we've invested a lot of money in Palestine, and we expect that this treaty will be upheld.'"

Palestinian Authority Plans Siege of Judea and Samaria
(IsraelNN.com) The Palestinian Authority is planning to besiege Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, according to recent reports in Arab media. A member of the central committee of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction was quoted by Al-Arab on November 20th as saying that the movement decided during the 6th Fatah convention to ignite a third intifada in the area in response to "Israel's intransigence" and the failure of diplomatic talks.
He said that while it won't use live arms fire, the new campaign will have a grass-roots style, including the surrounding of Jewish communities by thousands of Arabs. An Arutz Sheva reporter notes other senior members of the PA and Fatah have escalated their words about other options, including armed struggle.

Kill the Bills. Do Health Reform Right. By Charles Krauthammer
The bill is irredeemable.
The United States has the best health care in the world — but because of its inefficiencies, also the most expensive. The fundamental problem with the 2,074-page Senate health-care bill (as with its 2,014-page House counterpart) is that it wildly compounds the complexity by adding hundreds of new provisions, regulations, mandates, committees, and other arbitrary bureaucratic inventions.
Worse, they are packed into a monstrous package without any regard to each other. The only thing linking these changes — such as the 118 new boards, commissions, and programs — is political expediency. Each must be able to garner just enough votes to pass. There is not even a pretense of a unifying vision or conceptual harmony.
Taxed for Living By Daniel Greenfield
Forget taxes on income or consumption, the ultimate in regressive taxation is a tax simply for living. ObamaCare’s mandatory health insurance or fine helps pioneer the notion that people should be taxed just for being alive. In his interview with George Stephanopoulos, Obama called his health care tax a fine. Which would then mean that the United States government is now fining people for living.

We do know for a fact that among the slew of memberships on charitable boards, Tareq Salahi is a former member of The American Task Force on Palestine (ATFP). The only way to know for a fact is because even though ATFP scrubbed all references to Salahi as a board member, he can still be found on Google cache.
Obama Treason Charges Advance In Tennessee Grand Jury By JB Williams
On June 10, 2009 I wrote about formal treason charges filed against Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, in - Is Obama Guilty of Treason? I followed that column up with - Why Commander Fitzpatrick Is NOT Guilty of Mutiny! on June 13. Since then, numerous others have filed similar treason charges against Obama/Soetoro with little or no fanfare…
If Obama is indeed guilty of treason - then we have a growing list of folks who are also committing treason. Namely, every member of law enforcement and the justice system who have taken an oath to uphold and defend the US Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic - along with every individual in Washington DC and beyond who has chosen to look the other way while denying American citizens their day in court - claiming that no citizen has the “legal standing” to ask who in the hell Barack Hussein Obama really is…
After visits from the Secret Service and months of rejection by the courts, Commander Walter Fitzpatrick may get his day in court.
On Tuesday December 1st 2009, Retired Navy Commander Walter Fitzpatrick III will present the evidence behind his treason complaint against Obama/Soetoro to all thirteen members of a Tennessee Grand Jury in Monroe County Tennessee.
Saudi columnist: Obama will be President of the "United Collapse of America"
Hamad al-Majed can see it. Is it only Americans who can't perceive the disaster that the post-American President is already? And it is doubtful that he will improve.

Teaching plan: America 'an oppressive hellhole' By Bob Unruh
University outlines 're-education' for those who hold 'wrong' views
A program proposed at the University of Minnesota would result in required examinations of teacher candidates on "white privilege" as well as "remedial re-education" for those who hold the "wrong" views, according to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
NOTE: If you have not watched the film "EXPELLED" pleae order it from Creation Minitries (image at bottom of page). The "educational COMPLEX" has been destroying our country for many years. In Science, History, Politics and the anti-God movement!
American Sharia Law By Arnold Ahlert
According to a memo released by the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Robert Gates wants to "assess whether Army and other programs, policies and procedures functioned properly across the alleged perpetrator's career as a military health care provider to retain and promote him within in the Army Medical Corps." Translation: how in hell did a ticking, jihadist time bomb like Maj. Nidal Hasan continue to operate right under our collective noses?
No doubt "procedural process" must be served, but who is kidding whom? An Army initially created to protect Americans from those who would do us harm has succumbed to the social virus known as political correctness. And it doesn't get any more feverish than the comment made by Gen. George Casey, the Army's chief of staff: "What happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy, but I believe it would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here."
Really? A loss of diversity trumps thirteen dead and thirty one wounded American soldiers? In what universe?
Foreign Governments Are Key Backers of Peace Now by Scott Shiloh
The organization, which spends large sums of money finding and detailing every new Israeli structure in Judea and Samaria, is effectively on the payroll of at least three European governments, according to Israeli investigative reporter David Bedein.
Those governments provide the financial support for the activities of Dror Etkes, whose staff researches and publicizes data relating to every aspect of the Israeli government’s support for the quarter-million Israelis living in Judea and Samaria.
Etkes, who is studying for an M.A. in history, draws a salary of NIS 150,000 ($34,000) per year for his anti-settlement activities for Peace Now, a large sum by Israeli standards.
The foreign governments which fund Etkes and Peace Now, such as Britain and Norway, are fundamentally opposed to the existence of all Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria. The money Peace Now receives to promote an Israeli withdrawal from those territories, therefore, may invariably serve those governments’ foreign policy interests.
Such an outcome would not be surprising, as Bedein claims Peace Now has accepted funding directly from the British and Norwegian Ministries of Foreign Affairs.
Azmi Bishara: There is No "Palestinian" Nation. Never Was! by Avi Yellin
(IsraelNN.com) The Zionist Freedom Alliance of California has been circulating a video on the internet this past week exposing former Member of Knesset Azmi Bishara denying the existence of a “Palestinian” nation. The video was recorded years prior to Bishara entering Israel's parliament in 1996 as head of the Arab Balad party.
Bishara, who resigned from the Knesset and fled the country in 2007 just when Israeli Security Services were ready to arrest him on charges of treason and espionage, is shown in the video reiterating his Arab nationalist position that there is no such thing as a “Palestinian” people.
Translation: “Well, I dont think there is a Palestinian nation at all. I think there is an Arab nation. I always thought so and I did not change my mind. I do not think there is a Palestinian nation, I think its a colonialist invention - Palestinian nation. When were there any Palestinians? Where did it come from? I think there is an Arab nation. I never turned to be a Palestinian nationalist, despite of my decisive struggle against the occupation. I think that until the end of the 19th century, Palestine was the south of Greater Syria.”

The freeze deal is now clear. How did Beilin know? By Ted Belman
When Netanyahu came to into office he continued the freeze that Olmert had started in August 2008 and came under withering pressure from Obama for more. Why Olmert agreed to it in the first place has never been discussed.
Last summer it appeared that the quid pro quo would be normalization steps by Arab countries. Nothing came of it. Then Netanyahu and Obama counted on getting Abbas to accept the freeze when they were all in New York. Abbas didn’t bite.
Finally, Netanyahu decided to announce the freeze unilaterally which he did on Wednesday.
Surely he doesn’t want endless negotiations with no hope of progress. So one must conclude that its all about gaining time to deal with Iran.
Herb Keinon in his article Gaining Grace?
points out that Yossi Beilin knew about this 9 days ago,
Israeli settlement freeze puts hundreds of Arabs out of work
The newly announced Israeli settlement freeze is having an adverse affect that its protagonists in Washington probably didn't bother to consider - it is leaving hundreds and perhaps thousands of Palestinian Arabs without jobs.

Help Wanted, No Private Sector Experience Required By Nick Schulz
A friend sends along the following chart from a J.P. Morgan research report. It examines the prior private sector experience of the cabinet officials since 1900 that one might expect a president to turn to in seeking advice about helping the economy. It includes secretaries of State, Commerce, Treasury, Agriculture, Interior, Labor, Transportation, Energy, and Housing & Urban Development, and excludes Postmaster General, Navy, War, Health, Education & Welfare, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security—432 cabinet members in all.
When one considers that public sector employment has ranged since the 1950s at between 15 percent and 19 percent of the population, the makeup of the current cabinet—over 90 percent of its prior experience was in the public sector—is remarkable. SEE THE CHART!
New Lebanese Government to Endorse Hizbullah Attacks by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz

'Islamism or Islam? Islamist or Islamic?' By Andrew G. Bostom
During the autumn of 1843, in the heart of Istanbul, Turkey, Sir Henry Layard, the British archeologist, writer, and diplomat, witnessed the punishment mandated by Sharia (i.e., Islamic) Law for apostasy from Islam. He described this abhorrent spectacle as follows:
An Armenian who had embraced Islamism [emphasis added] had returned to his former faith. For his apostasy he was condemned to death according to the Mohammedan [Islamic] law. His execution took place, accompanied by details of studied insult and indignity directed against Christianity and Europeans in general. The corpse was exposed in one of the most public and frequented places in Stamboul [Istanbul], and the head, which had been severed from the body, was placed upon it, covered by a European hat.
Layard's narrative demonstrates how in mid-19th century parlance, "Islamism" and "Islam" were synonymous, meant to be equivalent to "Catholicism," "Protestantism," and "Judaism" -- not to radical or fundamentalist sects of any of these religions. Moreover, through at least the mid-1950s, scholars devoted to the formal study of Islamic doctrine and history were still referred to as "Islamists."
Turkey's current Prime Minister Erdogan, commenting in August 2007 on the term "moderate Islam" (frequently used in the West to describe his ruling political party, the AKP) stated, "These descriptions are very ugly. It is offensive and an insult to our religion. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that's it." Erdogan's displeasure is ironic, even somewhat humorous, given the contemporary Western apologetic obsession to recast the terms "Islamism" and "Islamist" to exclusively denote radical or immoderate Islam and its adherents. But the irony of Erdogan's ire aside, artificial distinctions between Islamism and Islam, Islamist and Islamic are logically incoherent, obfuscating irrefragable truths about living Islamic dogma and its modern manifestations.

Obamacare Unfairly Taxes Families With Handicapped and Chronically Ill Children
One of the ways congress is proposing to fund Obamacare is by putting a cap on Flexible Spending Medical Accounts. For those who are not familiar with those accounts, they allow you to take pre-tax funds from every paycheck into an account managed by your company (or your company's vendor), that you can remove on a tax free basis to pay for uncovered medical bills.

A number of problems on the horizon could dwarf President Obama’s first-year trials.
The Art of Political War for Tea Parties – by David Horowitz * * * Excellent!
A specter is haunting America – the specter of a people rising. All across the nation Americans are waking up to the threat of a leftist elite determined to fundamentally change America, push through a socialist agenda, and make every citizen dependent on the state. The Obama machine is spending trillions of tax-payer dollars to finance their takeover of the American workplace and stifle the independence of the American people. But America is resilient nation, built on the principles of private property and individual freedom, and the resistance to their socialist plans has already begun.
... the Tea Parties movement, the most innovative, exciting and powerful grassroots force in the history of American conservatism. It is vital to the health of this country that the Tea Parties movement grow. More to the point: it is essential to American survival that the Tea Parties movement succeed. On the eve of the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama said “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming America.” The Tea Parties movement is the American people saying no to Obama’s plans for revolution.
A movement without an effective strategy for defeating its opponents cannot succeed. Therefore it is important to reacquaint ourselves with the art of political war.
While Democrats are morally bankrupt and clueless about policy – about what makes things work — they still win elections because they understand a simple fact: American politics is driven by the romance of the underdog, the story of the little guy who goes up against the system and triumphs in the end. It is a story about opportunity and fairness. To win the hearts and minds of the American voter, you have to tap the emotions the romance of the underdog evokes. Whoever does so has a winning edge.
The Dead End Quest for Peace Daniel Greenfield
Peace, peace. Everyone wants peace. Or so we would like to think. Chamberlain and a sizable portion of the English electorate were certain that Hitler wanted peace and all that was needed was for everyone to sit down around a table, make some compromises (at someone else's expense if possible) and everyone could go back to buying their biscuits, playing cricket and generally enjoying life. What did not occur to them was the possibility that Hitler did not want peace. What did not occur to them was that by constantly talking about peace, they were only bridging the gap to war with their own naivete and conspicuous weakness.
A year into Obama's first term dedicated to multilateralism and soft power, the world is more unstable than ever. Iran is openly pursuing nuclear weapons and regional domination. North Korea is firing on South Korean ships. The Chavez Marxist axis in Latin America has become more ambitious. Russia is amping up the rhetoric against the Ukraine and George again, and building up its arsenal. And even Obama's staunchest apologists and defenders cannot think of a single tangible thing that he has accomplished in all his visits to virtually every major country on the globe.
But that is because peace is a paradox. To have peace, you must be prepared for war. You may speak softly, but you must carry a big stick. And like happiness, the worst possible way to go about finding peace, is by going out and looking for it. Because to pursue peace is to deliver a signal of weakness that all but invites war. Peace is produced not through goodwill, those with whom goodwill is easy to achieve are not likely targets for war, but through deterrence. War is deterred the same way that crime is deterred, through vigilance and strength.

On March 31, 2004, a small convoy guarded by four American civilian contractors was ambushed at Fallujah, Iraq, and the guards were killed. The bodies of the four Blackwater security guards were burnt, hacked, and two of the mutilated bodies were hung for display on a bridge over the Euphrates river.
Solving Whose Problem? – by Thomas Sowell
No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems— of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind.
Many of the things the government does that may seem stupid are not stupid at all, from the standpoint of the elected officials or bureaucrats who do these things.
The current economic downturn that has cost millions of people their jobs began with successive administrations of both parties pushing banks and other lenders to make mortgage loans to people whose incomes, credit history and inability or unwillingness to make a substantial down payment on a house made them bad risks.
Was that stupid? Not at all. The money that w
