Frank Salvanto says we have a perfect storm coming from two enormous threats. The denial of the Islamic threat and the fifth column called the progressive Left. This storm will destroy this nation if the American people continue to ignore the threat. I would also add a third and fourth enormous threat. The economic storm brought on by debt and greed, and the perversion storm rapidly developing out of moral relativism. Wake up America! There is a perfect storm brewing and its not going to be a tempest in a tea cup.

The New Media Journal | Ignoring ‘The Perfect Storm’ at Our Own Peril by Frank Salvato

The mainstream media and the presumptive nominee from the Democrat Party have done a pretty good job of steering the electorate’s attention to issues of a domestic nature. It wasn’t hard to do. With gasoline prices hovering around four dollars a gallon, combined with the self-induced but limited financial crisis created by proprietary lenders and a healthcare system that’s being raped by grifting lawyers and robber-baron insurance companies, it is easy to understand why voters would fall prey to diversionary tactics of the political power seekers. But we do so at the expense of the well being of our nation. We do so ignoring “the perfect storm.”

politicians consistently put politics, power and financial special interests before the issues most important to the American people: A small, elite group of Progressives, beholden to the environmental lobby, uses their governmental powers to usurp the will of the people by refusing to allow drilling in places we know there are oil deposits; politicians on both sides of the aisle pander to an illegitimate voting demographic in the illegal alien population for fear that if they stand up for America’s sovereignty they may be voted out of office by those who shouldn’t be voting in the first place; politicians of both major political parties refuse to banish the earmark and reserve the right to raid the government treasury to provide bribes to their constituencies in an effort to garner re-election; the tax code continues to overburden the middle class and penalize the family while expanding entitlement increases the number of those feeding from the public trough and the mega-rich evolve into an elitist class; etc, etc, etc…

Our nation faces two enormous threats, one externally and one from within, and we do so without a proper understanding of why we should be fighting them both with every fiber of our collective being.

why would any elected official, true to good government, deny the enormity of the threat posed to the United States and the West by radical Islamist elements?

The second serious threat is less immediate and less violent, but caustic and lethal to the American philosophy and the continued existence of our country just the same. This threat comes from the American Fifth Column; the threat from within.

Emanating from the failed ideologies of Marxist-Leninst socialism and communism, the American Fifth Column dedicates itself to the transformation of the United States from a representative republic to a system of democratic socialism. This movement is personified by the progressive-left that has effectively hijacked the Democrat party.

Through unconstitutional entitlement programs and the legislation of inequitable tax burden on those who have successfully employed the capitalist system to their benefit, those leading the American Fifth Column strive to artificially create economic equality through the redistribution of wealth. Ironically, those who lead the American Fifth Column have established an elitist class for themselves, as most of them are millionaires (like Nancy Pelosi) and even billionaires (like Peter Lewis and George Soros). They do so to reduce the “influential footprint” of the United States on the world in a quest for a one-world order administered by the elite.

Interestingly, the progressive-leftists of the American Fifth Column are playing the roll – either unwittingly or recklessly – of the useful idiot to radical Islam’s quest for a global Caliphate.

So, the people of the United States face these two incredibly potent threats – each which could affect the end of the great American experiment – yet we are apathetic to the threat. Why? Because we face these challenges constitutionally illiterate.

Our educational system has been hijacked by progressive-left ideologues.

It is time that parents from all over the country – all over the world – embrace the idea that we have to take charge of educating our children.

Full Article

Here are two pretty good articles on Obama. I think they peg him about right. He is a arrogant black liberation Marxist. If American is fooled by this half black arrogance they will see him rule over the demise of America.

How did America come to the place where they might even elect to President someone that was a drug abuser, a man with no national experience, a man that has known association with criminals and terrorists, a man that joined with a black theology religious cult for twenty years, a man who grew up among Islam and was highly influenced by Marxism who will not even show normal American patriotism in public. a man who confesses Christianity but denies it by every amoral stand he takes, a self professed pluralistic univeralist who believes that all religious lead to the same god, a man that will pass hate speech laws that will muzzle Christian free speech, a man we know will appoint people to the Supreme Court that will redefine our Constitution and Our Bill of Rights to mean what they want it to mean, and so forth?

Is is just because he can say “yes we can“? Well up to recently on oil he has said no we cannot and has shown himself to be an Olympic flip flopper on many issues. Or perhaps it is because he can say “change“? So is this the loose change that you want in the White House? If anyone remembers Jimmy Carter’s presidency, Obama’s will even make him look Presidential. Think of Obama, Reed, Pelosi, and a liberal Supreme Court running this country and you might think the U.S. became the first state of Cuba.

Obama thinks he’s better than you

The more I observe the great illusionist Barack Obama, the more I am convinced that if he is able to dupe enough voters into putting him in charge it will be the most entertaining presidency in the history of the office. Is there really any sane person who believes this guy would make a good president?

Forget for a moment the people with whom he associates. Look past the bomber, mad preacher, angry wife and crooked slumlord. They are merely distractions. Forget the lack of experience or substantive legislation during his short stint in the Senate. Just focus on his current actions.

When he takes the stage, there is an air of arrogance I have never sensed from anyone else in a similar situation. There is a tone of pompousness and entitlement. One gets the sense that Obama feels he is doing his attendees a favor for allowing them in his presence. His body language screams, “I am better than you.” His confidence is not quiet. His soaring rhetoric is accompanied by the dropping of the final syllable or vowel. His almost preacher-like twang is devoid of even the slightest shred of modesty.

Properly inflating our tires and keeping our cars tuned are not the answer to the energy crunch. Sending a $1,000 check to every American and sending the bill to Exxon is not an energy policy. Printing money to bail out banks and stop foreclosures is not the answer to bad decisions.

Government is not the answer to our problems; government is the problem. The sooner an honest politician declares so and puts forth legislation to shrink government, the better off we will all be.

Obama’s hissing

One of many sayings I remember from my grandmother is, “If the hiss doesn’t tell you it’s a snake, then the fact that it slithers on its belly in the dirt should.” And to that point, if the company Barack Obama has kept (read the dirt he has aligned himself with) doesn’t tell you he is a Marxist reparationist, then the words from his mouth, i.e., his hiss, certainly should.

Obama repeatedly told the NAACP, “I’ve been working my entire adult life to help build an America where ‘economic justice’ is being served. And as president, we’ll ensure that ‘economic justice’ is served. That’s what this election is about.” (”Barack Obama’s Stealth Socialism,” Investor’s Business Daily, July 28, 2008.)

“Economic justice” is just an oblique euphemism for wealth redistribution, i.e., Marxism – “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need.” IBD theorizes Obama’s intent is a massive transfer of wealth from those who have money to those whom he defines as poor. Worse, he views it as a global obligation.

Sex at nine is fine according to Islam says this Saudi Islamic cleric. After all Muhammad had sex with a nine year old? He also confirms that in Yemen this practice is carried out.  I am sure many pedophile perverts will now convert to Islam and claim that their perversion has to be accepted by society.

Age no barrier to marriage in Islam

Age, or lack thereof, is no hindrance to marriage under Islam, according to Ahmad Al-Mu’bi, an officiant for marriages from Saudi Arabia who says sex at 9 is fine.

He confirmed, “The Prophet Muhammad is the model we follow. He took ‘Aisha to be his wife when she was 6, but he had sex with her only when she was 9.”

An interviewer asked: “My question to you is whether the marriage of a 12-year-old boy to an 11-year-old girl is a logical marriage permitted by Islamic law.”

“If the guardian is the father… There are two different types of guardianship. If the guardian is the father, and he marries his daughter off to a man of appropriate standing, the marriage is obviously valid,” said Al-Mu’bi.

It is weak presidents that lead to miscalculations and war. Zumwalt did not even mention that JFK also got us into the war with Vietnam. With the facts of this article in mind if Obama gets elected we can expect a test of Obama’s metal by Islamic radicals in the first year of Obama’s Presidency. We really should not be putting people in the White House in troubled times that are idealistic unrealistic dummies. Inexperience will not be Obama’s only problem it is his unrealistic worldview.

Islamic Extremism for Dummies - HUMAN EVENTS

Obama’s JFK analogy conveniently omits two important points: it was Kennedy’s perceived weakness that precipitated the Cuban Missile Crisis; it was not his negotiation talents that extracted him from it.

It was the absence of Kennedy’s backbone in the Bay of Pigs invasion that then led to the Cuban Missiles Crisis the following year. Emboldened by Kennedy’s earlier misadventure, the Soviets secretly positioned missiles in Cuba — drastically reducing US response time in the event of a missile launch by Moscow. This led to a test of wills between Moscow and Washington that brought the two superpowers to the brink of war.

Inexperience and naivete in the White House would come back to haunt the US again seventeen years after the Bay of Pigs disaster. An American public anxious for change voted into office a US president whose later actions paved the way for Iran’s Ahmadinejad.

As civil unrest hit Iran in 1979, Jimmy Carter pressured Tehran’s pro-US Shah to abandon his country to a man Carter believed to be Islam’s Mahatma Gandhi — the Ayotollah Ruhollah Khomeini. This “Gandhi” turned out to be more like Attila the Hun. Khomeini embarked upon a purge grander than the reign of terror introduced by the French Revolution’s Robespierre almost two centuries earlier. Carter’s naivete provided Islamic extremism with a national flag and a breeding ground for exporting Islamofascism abroad and into the 21st century. America’s reward for Carter’s assistance was the seizure of the US embassy and hostages there, followed by Tehran’s designation of the US as the “Great Satan.”

We have been in a perpetual and undeclared war with Iran ever since.

Of course, the Iranians already knew, from Obama’s earlier actions, he would be a weak-kneed leader. They gained this insight last year when Obama refused to vote for the Kyl-Lieberman amendment, which sought to label the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps — the organization of holy Islamic warriors that has left its violent footprint throughout the region — on the grounds it constituted “saber-rattling.” Color as “weak” — from Iran’s viewpoint, and ours — any US leader who refuses to officially label a terrorist group as “terrorists.”

Ignoring the fact the only times Iranian extremists reigned in their adventurism was in the face of US resolve, Obama believes he, as president, is capable of talking rationally with an Iranian leadership incapable of doing so. It is inexperience that causes one to boast he can do what three-decades of domination by theocratic extremism in Iran’s leadership and the failure of the international community in curtailing Tehran’s nuclear program tells us cannot be done

The Saudis wonderful education indoctrination:

Bush urged to address Muslim ‘hate’ in books

The nonprofit group says indoctrination begins as early as first grade and expands each year, culminating in a 12th-grade text teaching teens that their religious duty includes waging “jihad” against the infidel to “spread the faith.”

Here are relevant passages from the Saudi textbooks, by grade level:

• First Grade: “Every religion other than Islam is false.”

• Fourth Grade: “True belief means … that you hate the polytheists and infidels but do not treat them unjustly.”

• Fifth Grade: “It is forbidden for a Muslim to be a loyal friend to someone who does not believe in Allah and His Prophet.”

• Sixth Grade: “Just as Muslims were successful in the past when they
  came together in a sincere endeavor to evict the Christian crusaders
  from Palestine, so will the Arabs and Muslims emerge victorious, Allah
  willing, against the Jews and their allies if they stand together and
  fight a true jihad for Allah, for this is within Allah’s power.”

• Eighth Grade: “The apes are the Jews, the people of the Sabbath;
  while the swine are the Christians, the infidels of the communion of
  Jesus.”

• Ninth Grade: “The clash between this (Muslim) community and the
  Jews and Christians has endured, and it will continue as long as Allah
  wills.”

Hysteria is rampant and the people have become delusional. There should be a war against progressive mental illness from the halls of Time Magazine to the shores of Massachusetts and California.

From fighting evil to fighting carbon emissions

The Time cover is cheap heroism. It is a liberal attempt to depict as equally heroic those who fight carbon emissions and those who fought Japanese fascists and Nazis.

Second, for much of the left, the cover reflects the primacy of environmental concerns over moral concerns. For example, the left seemed never to care about the millions of Africans who continued to die from malaria largely because of the environmentalists’ worldwide ban on the use of DDT as pesticide. The same holds true for another left-wing environmentalist fantasy. Changing corn into biofuels is causing a surge in food prices throughout the world. The European Union continues this policy despite warnings even from some environmentalists that food shortages, starvation and food riots are imminent. But human suffering is not as significant as environmental degradation.

Third, the left is far more internationalist – global, if you will – in its orientation than national. As the Time article states, “Going green: What could be redder, whiter and bluer than that?” Whereas, for most Americans patriotism remains red, white and blue, for much of the left it is green.

Fourth, the further left you go, the more inclined you are to hysteria. From the threat of DDT to the threat of heterosexual AIDS in America to that mass killer secondhand smoke, the left believes and spreads threats that, unlike the threat of Islamic terror, really are “scare tactics.”

Many in this nation are stuck on stupid and this Demented Delusional and Dumb Club Blog helps document that fact. You say we as a nation must remind ourselves what truth and lies look like, victim and criminal, good and evil, etc.

Those not dumbed down have been attempting to educated the stupid people in this nation to do that for a long time and you see where it is getting us.

I think you are preaching to the choir. How do you get a nation stuck on stupid to change when stupidly is the hallmark of the “education” system, lies are presented as truth by media and a stupid watered down gospel is preached from the pulpits?

Perhaps it is time for the astute to start a new nation. I no longer think the brainwashed people are teachable.

Laurie Roth — Stuck on Stupid Syndrome is Growing

We must as a nation remind ourselves what truth and lies look like, what evil and good looks like and what victim and criminal looks like! Empathy and “rights” are nice when offered first and foremost to our people, our military and our citizens. There is a point where “stuck on stupid” syndrome doesn’t cut it anymore. We MUST take back our courts and demand common sense Judges. We MUST take back congress and demand they get clear about good and evil and right and wrong. We must not allow persecution against parents and home schoolers, border patrol doing their jobs, military being brave in service, those trying to protect our children from predators and those fighting fearlessly against Islamic Radicals. We can save our country people. It is up to us.

Obama sees no evil among the evil because there are no evil demonic people within his communist universalism. Everyone is one collective consciousness evolving to its universal Christ consciousness. If you really want to know what Obama believes you might realize what his top supporters believe. For example watch New Age/New Spirituality Oprah

Sen. Obama coddles evil

Obama likes to compare himself to Ronald Reagan. Reagan, Obama says, negotiated with the USSR. Naturally, Obama neglects to mention that Reagan only negotiated with the USSR after placing missiles in Europe, funding Star Wars, joking about bombing the Soviets and calling the USSR an “evil empire.” Obama’s meetings would be more like an Oprah interview than a Reagan negotiation.

It’s not surprising Obama is willing to have coffee with those who hate America. After all, he allowed an America-hater to preside over his wedding. He sat in the pews while his spiritual mentor railed against Israel. He’s used to Ahmadinejad-like rhetoric – he went to a church full of it for two decades.

Obama has no problem chatting with the world’s bloodiest butchers or sitting in racist churches because he “understands” everyone. Back in November, I wrote that Obama was running as “The Man Who Understands.”

“I know, I have seen the desperation and disorder of the powerless,” he writes in “Dreams From My Father.” That understanding leads him to excuse Islamic terrorism as a function of poverty; it leads him to compare black teens on the South Side of Chicago to jihadis in Indonesia. It leads him to excuse scumbag preachers and kowtow to sadistic tyrants.

There’s clearly one thing Barack Obama doesn’t understand: the nature of evil. That’s why he continues to coddle evil men in both his personal life and his politics.

Father Jonathan Morris makes a statement below that I might expect from some in the Catholic Church but I certainly did not expect from him. He equates the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints with fundamentalists of all religions.

The Catholic Church has a fundamentalist view itself. Much of its teaching is very fundamental Christianity although in my opinion, some of it is really their own distorted interpretation of the Christian fundamentals. So it seems to me that you are the pot calling the kettle black.

The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints is a cult of a cult. Are you saying the Mormon Church has correct doctrine and only those who more strictly hold to their doctrinal foundations are wrong? In other words, are you saying that mainline Mormonism and moderate Islam are alright because they distort their original inspired scriptures?

Are you then really suggesting that all religions take out scriptures that are offensive to others so we all can get along in the world? That would mean that you believe in Universalism. They probably have a position for you at the U.N. However, you should know that Christianity teaches that Jesus is the only way to God. Jesus said this fundamental truth would bring conflict even among members of the same family. So do you think Christian doctrine is fraudulent?

Finally, your attack on all fundamentalism really could be seen as a cheep shot at fundamental Protestants who you therefore also accuse of distorting God’s face and voice. There is only one face and voice of God and that face and voice can only be reliably found in the Holy Scriptures, that is why we have the infallible scriptures known as the Bible. Those who believe that are often called Christian fundamentalists because they believe the fundamentals of their scriptures. So either you do not believe there are scriptures to be taken as fundamental truth or you think only your religion can give us the correct interpretation of those fundamentals. In either case, you are fundamentally wrong. Further, if Catholics had the only correct fundamentals of the faith, as they claim, you have just attacked your own religion.

So with that display of wisdom why should I buy your book?

FOXNews.com - The Promise: God’s Purpose and Plan for When Life Hurts - Opinion

Fundamentalist views of all types distort God’s face and voice and are often the very cause for the tragic manipulation of the weak. Likewise, many modern depictions of God as distant and uninterested in our lives keep us from tapping into the natural and spiritual mechanisms we have within us to come through suffering as better people and not bitter people.

Since I am traveling in these days before the pope’s arrival, I don’t have time to write much more, but I couldn’t refuse expressing my concern for the victims of the fundamentalist sect in Texas and every other misuse of religion for selfish purposes.

Very true, a hate speech precedence is being set for global tyranny. Government will then use the same hate speech laws created because of the fear of violent reprisals to end all proselytizing and to stop minority decent against laws of the elite ruling class.

There is no way to stop this because these people do not answer to the people of the world. The only way the U.S. can temporarily not come under what they are setting up is to get out of these world organizations. Fat chance!

Will it soon be illegal to speak about the use that Islamic jihadists make of Islamic texts and teachings to justify violence and supremacism? If it is, the only ones who will benefit will be the jihadists themselves – advancing the jihadist agenda far more effectively than riots ever could alone. The demonstrations on the one hand and the calls to limit free speech on the other neatly coalesce into a carrot-and-stick strategy. The message to the West is that speech about Islam that the Islamic world dislikes could lead to violent reprisals – but if the West heeds the voice of reason and clamps down on free speech and free inquiry, this violence will melt away. It is a message that all too many Leftist, appeasement-minded European and American leaders will find quite enticing. And that could be the most serious threat of all to our survival as a free people.

This is really an insightful thought provoking article. Glick says Wilders is a liberal but because the world does not want to face the truth about Islam they label him right wing. Liberals ostracize anyone who gives facts that does not fit their faith in faith.

Caroline Glick has figured out that liberals are basically cowards that will deny all facts that disagree with their socialist ideals of what a perfect world should be.

I would take it a bit further and say that the Liberal elite are people who think if we can get enough people to think good thoughts that good things will happen. In life they act out “The Secret” touted by Oprah and others. Like one eminent psychiatrist said liberals are mentally ill. While on one level this is true the real problem is spiritual. Their elitist leaders believe in one collective consciousnesses. They think if they can convince the collective to believe something it will then becomes reality. So they spread lies fully expecting that if that can get enough people to believe them their lies will come true.

For example in the name of a democratic world they will not allow democratic debate on any issue if the debate does fit their collective thinking of a socialist Utopian world outcome.

For me this article really nails why the elitist Left take the positions they do on every issue. They actually fear democratic debate because that would mean they would have to acknowledge an evil in the world that cannot be cured by positive thinking. They actually believe that just thinking nice thoughts will bring them peace, security and democracy. All positions they take conform to their faith in an evolutionary progression of man toward enlightenment and that is why present reality and rational thinking is not a big factor in their lives.

This is a must read.

Caroline B. Glick: Fear of democracy

This week a delegation of Christian and Muslim Dutch religious leaders travelled to Cairo to speak to religious Islamic leaders. Speaking to Radio Netherlands, Bas Plaisier, who heads the Dutch Protestant Church said that the delegation’s mission was to “limit the possible consequences” of Wilders’ film. The consequences he was referring to, of course, are the prospects of violent Muslim rioting and attacks against the Dutch and against Christians worldwide.

Radio Netherlands reported that Plaisier “has been receiving disturbing reports from Dutch nationals all over the world, including ones about fear of repercussions among Christians in Sudan, the Middle East and Indonesia.”

So the real reason the Dutch Protestant Church decries the film not because it thinks Wilders is wrong, but because its leaders believe that Wilders is absolutely right. It’s just that unlike Wilders, who has placed his life in danger to express his views, they are too cowardly to defend themselves, and so, they travel to Cairo to genuflect to religious leaders who daily oversee the preaching of hate and Islamic supremacy in Egyptian mosques. They go on bended knee to coo before those who coerced the institutionalization of Egypt’s religious persecution of its Christian Coptic minority and its silencing of liberal critics of the Mubarak regime and the Muslim Brotherhood.

And that is the rub. By squelching debate - out of loathing for their non-leftist political opponents and out of fear of jihadists and the regimes that promote them — the West as a whole undermines not only its own values and foundational creeds. It also undermines the non-jihadists of the Islamic world, who, if ever empowered, would work to promote a form of Islam that does not respond to challenge with violence but rather with the discourse of reason and mutual respect for differences of opinion.

Lets hope that Hillary is correct and that Obama cannot get elected. For if Obama gets elected it will be the start of the end of the Union.

The audacity of audacity

Even if for the sake of argument we set aside the false doctrine taught at his church, the bigotry of his former pastor and their undeniable solidarity with the terrorist organization Hamas and the Nation of Islam, there is Obama’s connection to the Sojourners, a liberal Christian group (I use both terms very loosely) that also supports Hamas. Here is a direct connection that the candidate cannot explain away with claims of absence to events or that he is not responsible for the actions of others.Although Obama initially avoided it, race has figured prominently in his campaign. Some might say that this was inevitable. The fact that he is a poor choice for president of the United States, however, has nothing to do with his race but with his political ideology. This ideology also happens to have harmed blacks profoundly, arguably more than it has harmed other ethnic and socioeconomic groups in America. The hypocrisy of the far left with respect to their acceptance of black-on-black exploitation and abuse has of course been well-established.

This excellent interview will tell you everything you need to know about Sharia. I am sure a sane Western person will want no part of Sharia after they read this interview.

FrontPage Magazine

To be sure, we must understand why Sharia is the life-force of Islam, and why Islam must impose (by force, if needed) Sharia to the entire world. Once we grasp this tenet, then we can understand how and why myriad specific Sharia laws affect lives.The basic tenets of Sharia emanate with the assumption that Allah has chosen the believers (i.e., the Muslims) to rule the world. It might sound fascistic, but make no mistake: the Qur’an is absolutely determined to hand over the rule of the world to the followers of Islam: more specifically, to the Bedouin Arabs.

These race baiting leaders love putting down people with different skin colors. It puts them in the limelight. You can always find a following if you speak hate to those with bigoted ears. That is exactly what they the Wrights of the world do. Obama should know the spiritual source of hate but obviously he has a spiritual discernment problem and really wanted that radical support base to help launch his political career?

How can Obama lead the free world if after twenty year he still cannot lead himself out of a church that dwells on a gospel of hate.

OK, Obama, let’s have the race ‘talk’

“You really like putting down white people,” I continued. “What, is this some sort of payback for slavery?”We argued into the night. I saw an America full of promise and hope, and she saw only barriers with little sign of improvement.

Obama’s pastor, Jeremiah Wright, similarly seems downright joyful in attacking America, blaming the government for AIDS and drugs, and attributing the Islamofascist attacks of 9/11 to America’s racism.

It sometimes only takes one strong man to began a movement. Europe does not know it yet but leaders like Wilder are Europe’s future. People will soon see that the appeasers of Islam have brought them social unrest and destruction. They will see that those appeasing a foreign culture with radical religious laws are destroying their own national security and identity. They will see that the same type of men who are best at hiking their skirts and groveling at bully’s feet brought this all on them. Will it get nasty? Yes. Will the native homeland movements in Europe be essential for Europeans own self respect. You bet. Will Islam around the world go nuts? You bet. The Wilder solution is all the more reason not to let Iran get nukes.

FrontPage Magazine

In an unprecedented speech to the Dutch parliament this month, Wilders again pointed to the danger a creeping Islamification poses to Holland and Europe, warning it was “a few minutes to midnight.” He also chided the ruling party for betraying the Dutch culture and people, calling one minister “stark raving mad” in the speech for having said that sharia law could be introduced into Holland.Wilders has paid a heavy price for his position. He has had his own freedom restricted. Death threats from Muslim extremists have caused him to be put under 24-hour police protection for the past two years. Wilders thus joins the growing list of people in Europe requiring protection from Islamic radicals. At one time, it was only Salman Rushdie who was forced to live in hiding; now, as one observer pointed out, such people are so numerous they nearly constitute a new, social class.

Most citizens of the Netherlands have forgotten, but the Dutch were once made of sterner stuff.

“Europe is now light years away from such a resolute response to the threat of radical Islam. And that makes Wilders’ film — a lone note of dissent in a continent resigned to cultural submission — all the more important.”

Apparently you can no longer talk about other religions in a critical way in Canada. In other words you cannot talk about cults or Islam or even criticize watered down churches with no gospel message.

After the next election the same thing will be happening in the U.S. before you know it.

Canada orders ministry
by Christians shut down

The Canadian government has ordered a Christian ministry that teaches doctrine and the differences between Christians and cults shut down because its reference materials were “critical” of the beliefs of those who are not Christian, WND has learned.

Mr. Samuelson offers no real solutions in this article and we could pull the plug on OPEC anytime we got a backbone. The oil cartel is illegal for starters.

Further, the U.S. energy bill that was recently passed only makes things worse. Nothing in that bill is going to change our dependence on foreign oil. Suggesting higher gas taxes at a time when people can not even afford to drive to work is totally moronic.

there are several ways we could deal with this problem. One is to increase oil and coal production but we have handcuffed ourselves with our stupid environmental laws. We could also help Canada develop their oil reserve - which is the largest in the world - instead we say we cannot use their oil because it violates junk science CO2 restrictions.

China is the main reason for the present tight oil markets. We could stop buying the $400 billion dollars of products we buy from them each year. We have no reason to be buying from a communist tyrannical nation that is arming to the teeth against us. We should be buying from the America’s and making friends in our own region of the world. Ending trade with China would stop their expansion and oil would become plentiful.

We could build new oil refineries and coal slurry refineries and we could start a go-to-the-moon like project on solar energy. Deflating the balloon of the oil speculators will cut the price sharply.

We could tell Saudi Arabia that we saved their butt from Saddam and they will increase output until oil gets down to some defined price or we will go in and do it for them. They are now using much of the huge profits that they are taking in to fund every anti Western and anti American radical Islamic agenda. They and their OPEC buddies are also putting the West on the brink of economic collapse. Why should we put up with their extortion ring?

Those are only a few of the things we could do. What we should not do is allow this to continue to go on and to act like making cars to get a few more miles to the gallon is really going to solve any energy problems. We have a problem because our own stupid polices have made us become our own worst enemy.

RealClearPolitics - Articles - The Triumph of OPEC

We are paying for past shortsightedness. Dependence on oil imports, now almost 60 percent of U.S. supply, is inevitable. But we could limit OPEC’s market power by curbing our demand and increasing our supply. As the worldwide gap between supply and demand rises, it’s harder for producers to control the market. More have spare capacity; more are tempted to increase production to raise revenues. Today’s surplus is concentrated in a few countries, especially Saudi Arabia, which can adjust production to influence prices.Americans rant at foreign producers on the silly presumption that they should subordinate their interests to ours. But we refuse to do much that would actually limit their freedom of action. It was only last year that Congress raised fuel-efficiency standards for new cars and light trucks. We have steadfastly rejected higher gasoline taxes to curb unnecessary driving and strengthen demand for fuel-efficient vehicles (better to tax ourselves than let foreigners tax us through higher prices). And we have consistently restricted oil drilling in Alaska and elsewhere.

By doing so little to check its own thirst for imports, the United States has contributed to OPEC’s present triumph. The extent of that triumph will be tested this year and next. Non-OPEC oil supplies — from Brazil, Canada and Kazakhstan, among other places — will increase. Meanwhile, a weaker global economy may dampen demand. Even OPEC may be unable to hold prices at today’s high levels. Whatever happens, the long-term threat of a global oil cartel will remain. We should be taking the hard steps to limit its power. Considering our past complacency, we probably won’t.

Things are going so well in Afghanistan. One has to wonder why a religion expects non believers to abide by their own religious rules and honor their prophet?

One might think that they believe their God is so non existent that he actually needs them. Perhaps this god needs rioting in the streets and people cutting open their heads. Like the followers of Baal did to get the attention of thier god that never showed up. However, Elijah said a prayer and called down fire from heaven with his God. If your god is real you might try calling on Him instead of taking matters in your own hands. If he is not real you might switch to the real God instead of waring for a false god.

I have to say this for certain Dutch people. They figured out a way to force their military out of Afghanistan. Not that doing so will save them from future terrorists.

A am waiting for the The liberally twisted red letter Bible to come out. It will be all red.

Democratic Scripture twisting

Forget Islamic radicals blowing up bodies when we have leaders and media who think it is hateful and wrong to defend and protect our children from sexual indoctrination, sexual agendas and false history. We blow their minds up already well before their bodies might blow up due to an Islamic-radical attack. At least if some of the anti-God and anti-American thugs can get our kids’ minds twisted in time, our children can fall apart with a well-funded STD. Hillary and Obama will make sure our diseased children are cared for. That is, the kids who have survived through the sea of abortions. I’m certain there must be Scriptures supporting abortion with Obama and Hillary’s Bible bak-masking machine.

The False Face of Islam in America - CWN

So what do we do with an entire group of people who hold the belief of world domination by their religion? We should do what the Constitution mandates. They have freedom to believe what they want. What they do not have is any right to force their religion on anyone nor do they have right to conspire to overthrow our constitutional principles. When any person steps into a position that requires them to swear the oath of allegiance to America, they should do so soberly. The oath contains the words “I do solemnly swear to protect the Constitution from all enemies both foreign and domestic.” Any organization that attempts to undermine the Constitution must be dealt with as an enemy. As long as American Muslims do not threaten freedom they have the right to their beliefs. If however Mosques are shown to be breeding grounds for terrorist and enemies of this nation’s principles, they must not be allowed to remain as staging grounds for subversion. These are perilous times we live in. People who want to come to America legally must realize that we have a certain set of constitutional principles. If they do not like our constitution they should go back where they came from.

That the way I see it.

The Kosovo Catastrophe - HUMAN EVENTS

It is hardly a conservative policy to support the establishment of an Islamist state on the European continent, turn a blind eye to the well-documented persecution of an ancient Christian community, engage in a Woodrow Wilson-style passion for nation building and follow in the footsteps of Bill Clinton. Yet that is what the United States has done by recognizing the independence of Kosovo.

All too true.

U.S. recognition of Muslim-dominated Kosovo labeled ‘bad idea’ (OneNewsNow.com)

Lt. Col. Maginnis (USA-Ret.) believes it was a bad idea to recognize an Islamic country being created in the middle of Europe. “I think we’re incredibly naive. Ninety-plus percent of Kosovars are Albanians and of Muslim belief,” he indicates. “They have desecrated the Christian shrines in that area. They’ve chased most of the Christians out.”

According to Maginnis, the United States is defending a Muslim country
where most of the inhabitants would be more likely to slash Americans’
throats than pat them on the back.

Obama is just the repackaging of tired old socialism in a deceptive new rapper

American Thinker: The Fierce Urgency of Lies

That is his appeal; he is an actor, a performer, a cinematic presence that stirs simple emotions, emotions that have little grounding in truth. His speeches are the inane lyrics to a popular song that endures only because it has a great beat. One must not think to deeply on what Obama says, for it turns to smoke and disappears in the light of day. Ezra Klein is correct, Obama’s speeches do not inform, they pander, they propagandize, they harmonize with the mythology of despair and the chimera of entitlement. As his hagiographies proclaim, he represents a new Camelot, but one that does not hold America quite so precious, a Camelot of globalists, moral relativists and communitarians.

An Obama administration will be one of historical revision, of faltering American values, of ideologues crafting “progressive” policy, of radicals telling citizens how to live, what to drive, what to eat and what to believe. They will tell us that the constitution is a living document and should change to reflect the times. They will tell us that we must pay more and more for the common good. They will take away our choices and make more and more of us dependant. Obama’s will be an administration of concocted class warfare, of racial exceptionalism and of pro-Islamist bias, and in the name of redefined justice and revolutionary inclusiveness, America will lose part of her soul and more of her freedoms. For all his rhetoric of hope, change and “coming together,” we still live in a perilous world. In a time of Islamic terror and nuclear proliferation, an Obama presidency will undermine America as never before.
