re; Dennis Prager's "Will Israel Attack Iran?"

The frightening message here is that if Israel does not and we fail as well, Iran will Destroy Israel as promised.
 
In my humble opinion I believe that is why Obama as President will advocate 'TALK, TALK, & NICE, NICE', it will give his Islamic Brethren the Go Ahead.

GM FAILING? ? ? ?

You can almost hear the Secular Progressive Communist Democrats that control Congress and their leader Obama CHEERING that their 'HELL NO WE WONT DRILL' policy is working.
 
A typical part of their "Game Plan" to Bankrupt America and re-make us into a Secular Progressive Communist Nation.

Obama Opposes California's Marriage Protection Act

No surprise here, it is a very basic "modus operandi" of the Secular Progressive Communists, if it will in anyway hurt America "Do It!".
 
Always make things racial to better divide and concur,
 
 always tax & tax to better divide and control the population,
 
always take control of everything such as Health Care,
 
always Blame America,
 
always Gut the Military,
 
always lie about the economy and do everything to hurt the economy-don't drill for oil-don’t use nuclear power-use food grains for ethanol but don’t feed starving people,
 
etc, etc.

Subject: Fw: Obama Opposes California's Marriage Protection Act

Who could have guessed that this ultra-liberal, pro-abortion, anti-war Democrat/Socialist would oppose it?
 
Obama Opposes California's Marriage Protection Act
 
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has come out in opposition to the California ballot initiative that would amend the state’s Constitution to ban same-sex marriage.

In a letter sent to the Alice B. Toklas L.G.B.T. Democratic Club, a San Francisco gay rights group, Obama declared: “I oppose the divisive and discriminatory efforts to amend the California Constitution, and similar efforts to amend the U.S. Constitution or those of other states.”

The California Marriage Protection Act, which will appear on the state’s November ballot, asserts: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”

The move to amend California’s Constitution came after the May 15 decision by the state’s Supreme Court that gave same-sex couples the right to marry.

While Obama opposes the initiative, he remains opposed to same-sex marriage, the New York Times reported. He does support civil unions and domestic partnerships.

Obama expressed opposition to the amendment, on the ballot as Proposition 8, because “as we have seen in some states, enshrining a definition of marriage into the constitution can allow states to roll back the civil rights and benefits that are provided in domestic partnerships and civil unions,” campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt told The Times.

Obama’s presumptive Republican rival John McCain announced his support for the initiative last month.

A Los Angeles Times/KTLA poll conducted shortly after the California Supreme Court decision found that 54 percent of registered voters surveyed supported the amendment, and 35 percent said they opposed it.

Poll Shows Ammericans Afraid of Obama as Commander-in-Chief

Both Carter and Clinton as Commander-in-Chief's gutted the military, ignoring their Primary Constitutional Job to Protect America.  Luckily under Carter we were not at war, while Clinton chose to ignore the fact that War had been declared on us by the Islamic World, the build up from the Regain and Bush Administrations has made the difference despite Clintons reductions. Today we are faced with a far different problem due to the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the need to not only maintain necessary levels of military equipment to but to continue to develop and produce more and better capabilities
 
What Obama has promised will not only fail to maintain even current requirements but will give our enemies TIME to develop new and better capabilities that may exceed our current lead in this area. So not only will he SURRENDER in Iraq but he plans to DISARM America through attrition.
 
Electing Obama, who has promised that he not only doesn't plan fulfill his primary function as Commander-in-Chief, but will DISARM us as well is absolute Madness!!

Poll Shows Americans Afraid of Obama as Commander-in-Chief
Floyd and Mary Beth Brown
Friday, July 18, 2008

On the night of January 20, 2009, a new commander-in-chief will leave the inaugural podium, parade, and festivities for the Oval Office. A national security staff ready with the latest “threat briefing” will join him there. On his desk, they will place a thick binder of reports, each focusing on real or emerging threats to our national security. In the quiet of the Oval Office -- in the presence of these stern-faced, deadly serious briefers and advisers -- Barack I. Obama, should he be the next president, will come face-to-face with reality.

Americans are afraid of this scenario, Barack I.E. Obama as commander-in-chief. The New York Times and CBS News released a poll this week; in it, Americans answered detailed questions about this possibility.

The poll’s answers shocked the strategists at the Obama campaign headquarters in Chicago. An intensive international travel schedule for Obama and a refocus of the campaign’s message on defense and foreign policy speaks to this fear.

The poll says Americans consider him lacking in the abilities necessary to run the armed services. Conversely, the polls show John McCain blows Obama out of the water as a good commander-in-chief. Forty-six percent of respondents thought McCain would very likely “be effective” as commander-in-chief, as opposed to only 24 percent saying the same of Obama. In fact, 36 percent think it is “not likely” Obama will be effective in the position.

Obama’s talents lie in his gift of oratory and his ability to move people with emotion, but this does not necessarily make for a good commander. The chief executive’s job requires forward thinking, realistic assessments of the world’s threats, and the maturity to make judgments in a crisis.

The USS Gerald R. Ford, an aircraft carrier, is now under construction in Hampton Roads, Va. It will be ready to join the fleet in 2015, replacing a carrier launched 47 years ago. Do we know that the USS Ford will be needed in 2015?

No, we do not. But can we afford to bet against it?

Obama thinks so. According to his own campaign literature, he is willing to let the USS Ford, and many more of tomorrow’s defense technologies, rust at the pier.

The decision to build the aircraft carrier is based on the concept of preparing America for the next war to come. Commanders must anticipate the evil designs of irrational lunatics. It’s always a tricky business, trying to anticipate future unknowns. Nevertheless, the president’s oath is to protect and defend the United States.

A president who hasn’t had any experience in military strategic planning is going to find himself in deep trouble if he finds his strategic armories empty in the face of an advancing enemy.

A review of Obama’s national defense plans offers insight into his preparedness to meet today’s and tomorrow’s defense realities. Obama makes a variety of claims which we think would dramatically weaken America if enacted. The Obama plans include cutting tens of billions of dollars of the Defense Department budget, and the development of no new weapons in space to protect satellites and strategic assets. He plans cuts in missile defense systems, slowing our development of future combat systems, developing no new nuclear weapons, and negotiating with Russia to take our ICBMs off what he calls “hair-trigger alert”. He advocates deep cuts in our nuclear program.

Not only does Obama have dangerous disarmament plans for America, he sorely lacks in experience. Besides being a junior senator, he has not been on any of the major defense committees. He has no previous hands-on experience with the military nor has he spent time with the men and women of our armed forces.

There are hundreds of weapon systems that could, under the quick-to-cut hand of Obama, be eliminated before they had the chance to prove themselves. If Obama had been in charge when the MAN Abrams Main Battle Tank was under development (a huge financial problem for the military) he would have cut it. But its developers persisted, and dollars that might have been considered “waste” by Obama were spent until the MAN became the most lethal, most respected, most effective tank on the battlefield.

Ask any Abrams crewmember who has survived direct hits by explosive shells and rocket-propelled grenades if he would have cancelled the Abrams, and the answer will be a resounding “No!”

Obama’s perfect future vision enables him to scrap defense programs, even as our nation’s enemies prepare very nasty projectiles to hurtle across continents and oceans.

Will he be able to effectively deal with crazed terrorists and power-hungry leaders with nuclear weapons in hand? Recent polls show Americans are nervous about Obama as commander-in-chief, and rightly so.

Why the Left can't get it Right

The editors of the Patriot always put it together in the best and most important way. Whish that I was half as articulate as they and these authors.

THE FOUNDATION

"If men of wisdom and knowledge, of moderation and temperance, of patience, fortitude and perseverance, of sobriety and true republican simplicity of manners, of zeal for the honour of the Supreme Being and the welfare of the commonwealth; if men possessed of these other excellent qualities are chosen to fill the seats of government, we may expect that our affairs will rest on a solid and permanent foundation." -Samuel Adams

PATRIOT PERSPECTIVE

Why the Left can't get it Right

By Mark Alexander

Ask a liberal about some manifestation of his worldview-for example, why he supports charlatans like Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Albert Arnold Gore, Jean-Francois Kerry, et al., and he invariably predicates his response with, "Because I feel..."

Ask a conservative about what he believes, or why he does or doesn't support John McCain, and he invariably predicates his response with, ">John McCain, and he invariably predicates his response with, "Because I think..."

It has always been easier to "feel" rather than "think," and that is why our national culture, and by extension, national politics (see Democrat Party Platforms) reflect only the most rudimentary remnants of the guiding principles established by our Founders. Of course, though Republican Party Platforms are more consistent with our Founding principles, Ronald Reagan was the last Republican president to stand firmly in support of those principles.

Liberalism tends to appeal to the worst of human instincts-greed, envy, laziness, victimization and every line of division. Its practitioners appeal to constituent "feelings," and they thus convert emotions into political capital.

Leftist pathology is deserving of its own category on the short list of personality disorders, and liberal politicians have one uniformly defining characteristic: hypocrisy.

Liberal politicos advocate populist themes but are consummate elitists. They feign concern for the plight of the poor while hobnobbing with the richest of the rich. They are charitable with everyone's income but their own. They decry school vouchers yet send their children to the finest academies. They hate SUVs, unless they are expensive imports. They advocate mass transit but commute on private jets. They express concern for the homeless yet maintain multiple manors.

Liberals advocate diversity, unless your views don't comport with their own doctrines of moral relativism. They want to preserve nature and the natural order but advocate homosexual ">homosexual "marriage." They oppose the death penalty for the most heinous of criminal sociopaths, but they support the execution of unborn children in their mothers' wombs. They believed that one nut who bombs an abortion clinic deserves far more law-enforcement attention than jihadi cells planning the 9/11 attacks. They called 9/11 victims ">unborn children in their mothers' wombs. They believed that one nut who bombs an abortion clinic deserves far more law-enforcement attention than jihadi cells planning the 9/11 attacks. They called 9/11 victims "Little Eichmanns" while calling their murderers "oppressed." They "support our troops" while calling for retreat and surrender.

Liberals call for "change" but are firmly committed to the status quo. They oppose nuclear power production while complaining about ">"global warming." They call for racial, ethnic and religious harmony, but they rally constituencies by fomenting division and hate. They deride moral clarity because they can't survive its scrutiny.

Indeed, liberals have turned the wisdom of their iconic sovereigns inside out.

Then: "My fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country." -John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address, 1961

Now: "Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country can do for you."

Then: "I have a dream that my children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." -Martin L. King, Address from the Lincoln Memorial, 1963

Now: "I have a dream that my children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the content of their character but by the color of their skin."

Liberals have replaced the original Constitution with their so-called "Living Constitution" so that they can insist on viewing the First Amendment through a wide-angle lens-except, of course, the "freedom of religion" part, where they opt to censor Christianity while imposing secular atheism. They advocate a ">"Wall of Separation" between church and state, but they tear down any obstacles between your income and the state. Of course, they also insist on viewing the Second Amendment through a pinhole.

Liberals protest economic recession, all the while suppressing economic growth with evermore taxes and regulations. Most of them are card-carrying members of the ignoble ranks of ">"useful idiots," those Western apologists for Marxist-Leninist-Maoist collectivism. Of course, that card reads: "Member, Democrat National Committee."

I have no doubt that you've already come up with a list of additional examples of liberal hypocrisy. Unfortunately, there isn't enough bandwidth on the Internet to compile a comprehensive list here. (Feel free to post additional examples on our reader comments page.)

Liberal and conservative worldviews often collide for this reason: Disciplined conservatives put God first, family and country second and themselves third, while liberals tend to put themselves first, their country last, and serve gods made in their image. This is the most defining philosophical distinction between these two groups.

As we approach the next presidential election, Leftmedia types suggest that most Americans are in the middle-">Leftmedia types suggest that most Americans are in the middle-"moderate" or "centrist." But political researchers are finding that we are in fact a deeply divided nation, with many voters strongly identifying with either conservative or liberal doctrines.

Let's hope and pray that more of our fellow Americans, those guided by their feelings, will think better of this process and vote on right-minded principles. Otherwise, it will be difficult to seat candidates who, in the words of Samuel Adams, possess the qualities of ">Samuel Adams, possess the qualities of "wisdom and knowledge, of moderation and temperance, of patience, fortitude and perseverance, of sobriety and true republican simplicity of manners, of zeal for the honour of the Supreme Being and the welfare of the commonwealth..."

Quote of the week

"Liberals, it has been said, are generous with other peoples' money, except when it comes to questions of national survival when they prefer to be generous with other people's freedom and security." -William F. Buckley Jr.

On cross-examination

"Before government hijacked charity in the form of the New Deal and Great Society, compassion and charity began at home. People were to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit prisoners, care for widows and orphans and love their enemies. Those were biblical commands to individuals, not government. Democrat politicians see things differently. Apparently believing there aren't enough caring people, they want compassion to originate in Washington, depriving it of its true meaning. They define compassion as big and ever-growing government and a guaranteed check forever with no expectation-or requirement-the recipient will ever better his or her circumstances." -Cal Thomas

Open query

"Since when do we in America believe that our society is made up of two diametrically opposed classes-one rich, one poor-both in a permanent state of conflict and neither able to get ahead except at the expense of the other?" -Ronald Reagan

Pelosi a marxists,uh secular progressive, uh communist, uh what ever name she hides behind




WND Exclusive
BALANCE OF POWER
Pelosi leader of 'Progressive Caucus'
Dems' likely top House official part of powerful, socialist-linked bloc

Posted: November 11, 2002
1:00 am Eastern

© 2008 WorldNetDaily.com



Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the likely new minority leader in the House of Representatives, serves on the executive committee of the socialist-leaning Progressive Caucus, a bloc of about 60 votes or nearly 30 percent of the minority vote in the lower chamber.

Until 1999, the website of the Progressive Caucus was hosted by the Democratic Socialists of America. Following an expose of the link between the two organizations in WorldNetDaily, the Progressive Caucus established its own website under the auspices of Congress. Another officer of the Progressive Caucus, and one of its guiding lights, is avowed socialist Rep. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent.

The Democratic Socialists of America's chief organizing goal is to work within the Democratic Party and remove the stigma attached to "socialism" in the eyes of most Americans.

"Stress our Democratic Party strategy and electoral work," explains an organizing document of the DSA. "The Democratic Party is something the public understands, and association with it takes the edge off. Stressing our Democratic Party work will establish some distance from the radical subculture and help integrate you to the milieu of the young liberals."

Nevertheless, the goal of the Democratic Socialists of America has never been deeply hidden. Prior to the cleanup of its website in 1999, the DSA included a song list featuring "The Internationale," the worldwide anthem of communism and socialism. Another song on the site was "Red Revolution" sung to the tune of "Red Robin." The lyrics went: "When the Red Revolution brings its solution along, along, there'll be no more lootin' when we start shootin' that Wall Street throng. ..." Another song removed after WorldNetDaily's expose was "Are You Sleeping, Bourgeoisie?" The lyrics went: "Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping? Bourgeoisie, Bourgeoisie. And when the revolution comes, We'll kill you all with knives and guns, Bourgeoisie, Bourgeoisie."

In the last three years, the Progressive Caucus has been careful to moderate its image for mainstream consumption.

"The members of the Progressive Caucus share a common belief in the principles of social and economic justice, non-discrimination and tolerance in America and in our relationships with other countries," the group's statement of purpose explains.

Most of the members of the Progressive Caucus, including Pelosi, opposed authorizing the war on Iraq. In fact, most Democrats in the House opposed the war resolution. House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt and 81 other House Democrats supported the move.

"I have seen no evidence or intelligence that suggests that Iraq indeed poses an imminent threat to our nation." Pelosi said in voting against the resolution. "If the administration has that information, they have not shared it with the Congress."

The latest issue of the liberal New Republic bemoans Pelosi's ascendancy to top leadership in her party because of her extreme left positions, calling the Democrat's position "dangerous."

"The ideological vacuum atop the post-Sept. 11 Democratic Party will inevitably be filled," the New Republic said in its trademark TRB column. "And, if it is filled by Nancy Pelosi and Dennis Kucinich, the United States will no longer be a 50-50 nation; it will be a 40-60 nation for a generation."

Pelosi, 62, last year was elected by her Democratic colleagues to be the House Democratic Whip – making her the highest-ranking woman in the U.S. Congress even before her expected rise to the role of House minority leader. She also serves on the House Intelligence Committee.

Pelosi represents a liberal congressional district, taking in most of San Francisco. Her votes against the resolution authorizing the use of force in Iraq and in support of such domestic initiatives as needle exchange programs for AIDS sufferers may not be far out of step with her district constituency. But some suggest the nation's pulse may be another matter.

Pelosi was 47 before she won her first election, after raising five children with her businessman husband, Paul. But she has been involved in politics all her life. Her father was a New Deal congressman from Maryland and later the mayor of Baltimore. Her brother also served as Baltimore's mayor. She was hand-picked to run for Congress by the dying Rep. Sala Burton, whose seat Pelosi won in a special election in 1987.

She has never lost an election.

Hillary learns to be President II

To treat China or North Korea as anything but enemies, has to be among the stupider things that the Co-Presidency of the Clintons did during their 8 years of disservice.
 
Secular Progressive Lesion #2; "Aiding and Abetting Your Enemy".
 
1. Financing North Korea:
    A. Agree to build two Nuclear Plants in North Korea at a price of $4 Billion.
    B. Tell a Lie. Despite Pyongyang's history of lying and cheating, tell the American People "
this agreement will help achieve a vital and long-standing American Objective, and an end to the threat of nuclear proliferation on the Korean Peninsula.
    C.  For six years ignore North Korea's role in nuclear and other missile-related activities with China, Pakistan, Iran, and Libya.
 
2. Chinese Assistance:
    A.  Ignore any Chinese missile buildup along the Taiwan Strait and in the Himalayas adjacent to India, as well as any threat of a nuclear strike on Los Angles by a Senior Chinese General.
    B.  Reward "Friends of Bill/Hillary" and your Commerce Secretary, Ron Brown, by giving permission to sell restricted military-related technologies to Chinese Companies with direct ties to the military.
    C.  Grant Chinese Companies bargain-basement sales on supercomputers worth $9 Million for $30,000 and ignore objections by the Department of Defense and other agencies.
    D.  Lift restrictions on sales of Powerful American-made communications encryption software, there by enabling China's military to operate its weapons-development projects and conduct military exercises at a very high level of secrecy.
    E.  To accommodate all of the above transfer responsibility for licensing sensitive military technologies from the far more cautious State Department to the more accommodating Department of Commerce, run by your friend Ron Brown, that acted as a fundraising arm of the Democratic (Secular Progressive) Party. 
 
3.  Reduce Security, both internal and external to accommodate your Enemy:
    A.  Have your Energy Secretary, Hazel O'Leary declare an "Openness" policy at  laboratories that develop our most advanced thermonuclear warheads run by the Department of Energy (DOE) that accommodated the sale noted in paragraph 2C above.
    B.  Dismantle long standing security practices like banishing the wearing for colored security badges at national laboratories and DOE headquarters that revealed clearances for entry to very sensitive areas. Use the excuse that the practice was "discriminatory".
    C. Terminate restriction of visits by foreign nationals from countries such as China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea to unclassified areas of the labs.
    D.  Stop all background checks on most foreign visitors to America's most important nuclear laboratories.
    E.   Order the Declassification of voluminous information on the laboratories and other nuclear facilities and transfer this information from classified to unclassified computer systems, enabling Internet access world wide
    F.  Ignore or fire any DOE professionals that protest this declassification that resulted in security breakdowns, to include the Director of the DOE Edward McCallum.
 
This is just the 2nd lesson that Hillary Learned as co-President and that she maintains qualifies her to be the next President. More Lessons to follow.
 
*(These are  slightly edited quotes from Al Santoli's forward to Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson's  Book "Dereliction of Duty". I urge you all to read this book.)

Surrender, Don't Vote

Sir,
 
I am concerned that comments made by Conservative Talk Show Hosts will cause many of their listeners to "Not Vote".
 
I like most find it difficult to whole heartedly vote for any of the current Republicans Running for President.
 
I will, however, vote for the Republican Nominee, who ever he is.
 
To give the Presidency to any Democrat by default:
 
is to support surrender in Iraq dishonoring and ignoring the sacrifice of our troops; 
 
is to allow Iran to get Atomic Weapons; 
 
is to agree to the destruction of Israel; 
 
is to giving a victory to our Islamic Enemies; 
 
is to bow to those who would impose Socialized Medicine on us;
 
is to accept "Mickey Mouse" Cars; 
 
is to meekly accept a raise taxes; 
 
and to kowtow to those that want a Secular Progressive America;
 
is total unacceptable and is to be a TRAITOR to all we have stood for.

maj Stephen Coughlin (USAR)

I sent this to Diana West, though you all might be interested.

Madam,
Your article reads like a Chapter from M. Stanton Evans' Book "Blacklisted by History". Some feel it is "to great a reach" to believe that the Socialist/Communists, now known as Democrats or Progressives are willing to use the Muslim war on America for their own ends. If this means "Playing Nice, Nice" with an obvious "Islamic Radical" like Hershum Islam, the the Progressive Gordon England must let Coughlin go.
Where is McCarthy when you need him.

The Pentagon Mantra: PC Trumps Security?
By Diana West
Thursday, January 17, 2008

The year is 1942. The place, the Pentagon. A Berlin-born aide to the U.S. deputy secretary of Defense has learned that a military intelligence officer has not only read Hitler's "Mein Kampf," but is lecturing senior officers about Hitler's heretofore unexamined goals of world domination.

This schweinhunt must go. At least, that's what the German-born staffer thinks. Did I mention he's fluent in German? That's partly why the deputy secretary of Defense relies so heavily on his aide's judgment on all things German, particularly when it comes to the War on Nazism's German outreach program. This program brings Nazi apologists into the inner sanctum of the American war machine ...

Sound crazy?

Travel forward to 1973. The deputy secretary of Defense's Soviet-born, Russian-speaking aide is gunning for the one intelligence officer who has boned up on Marx, Engels and Soviet military doctrine. Why? Because the officer refuses to "soften" his brief on communist ideology, and is presenting it to the military leadership -- now hearing it for the first time since the Cold War began. If communist plans for global domination become common knowledge, the aide realizes, gazing thoughtfully at a blown-up photo of Soviet mouthpiece Vladimir Posner on his office wall, the Pentagon will surely change strategy and halt the USSR outreach program, which gives commie symps Pentagon access ...

Totally outlandish, right?

Once upon a time, yes. But this month, the Washington Times' Bill Gertz reported on a not entirely dissimilar real-life version of such fictions, the termination of Maj. Stephen Coughlin (USAR). Coughlin, a lawyer and reserve military intelligence officer, has been the Pentagon's sole specialist on Islamic law charged with lecturing senior officers on jihad doctrine -- military leaders who have been fighting the so-called war on terror for years without an inkling of Islamic ideology. His contract with the Joint Staff will end in March, Gertz wrote, because Coughlin "had run afoul of a key aide" to the Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England.

That "key aide" is Cmdr. Hesham Islam (USN ret.), an Egyptian-born, Arabic-speaking Muslim whom Gordon England describes as "my interlocutor" and "personal, close confidante." According to Gertz, England's interlocutor and confidante confronted Stephen Coughlin seeking "to have Mr. Coughlin soften his views of Islamist extremism."

Note the irony in this choice of words. "Islamist" and "extremism," like "Islamofascism" and other euphemisms, are words that draw a PC curtain over mainstream Islam. They effectively shield the religion and its tenets from the scrutiny necessary to assess the ideology driving our jihadist enemies. Of course, lifting that PC curtain on Islam and its jihadist tenets is precisely the affect of Stephen Coughlin's Pentagon brief. It goes against what political correctness tells us; it also goes against what Islamic advocacy groups tell us.

For example, Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), is someone who advocates decoupling the word "Islamic" from the word "terrorism" for discussions of, well, Islamic terrorism. Why do I mention this? ISNA is a group that has been strenuously "outreached" by Gordon England's Pentagon even as the Justice Department has officially labeled it a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Wonder if England ever thought much about the large picture of Mattson -- head of what Justice has said is an MB front organization -- hanging amid the photos on Hesham Islam's office wall.

What Hesham Islam wanted from Stephen Coughlin was a softer interpretation of Islamic law and jihad, and, as Gertz reported, in the process he slurred Coughlin as "a Christian zealot or extremist `with a pen.' " Now Coughlin is out.

This high-level effort, in effect, to deny the connection between Islamic law and what the military calls the "enemy threat doctrine" should ring bells, not just in the military, but in Congress, which obviously has Pentagon oversight responsibilities. And what about the FBI? When a citizen is denounced as a "Christian zealot or extremist" shortly before his government contract is dropped, has a civil rights violation occurred?

More questions. Why is the deputy secretary of Defense engaged in Muslim "outreach" in the first place? And how good (safe) is his "outreach" advice if, to name a couple of examples, it brings ISNA into a bizarro relationship with the Pentagon, and sends a longtime apologist for assorted terrorists, Muslim Public Affairs Council's Salam Al-Marayati, on a Pentagon-sponsored trip to Guantanamo Bay? When such advice brings the military's woefully belated education on jihad to a halt, it becomes shockingly clear that the Pentagon is more concerned with political correctness than protecting the nation.

Hillary Learns to be President

 
Subject: Hillary Learns to be President. Secular Progressive Lesson #1 "Gutting the Military".

     Hillary has stated that her vast experience in eight years as Co-President gives her the best qualifications to be our next President. 
 
     One of her first lessons, "Gutting the Military". 
 
Quote
      In less than three years as Co-Commander in Chief while increasing the number of overseas deployments , reduced the total active-duty force from 2.1 million to 1.6 million men and women . This was accomplished by the following lessons:
 
     1. How to reduce the Army from 18 full-strength light and mechanized divisions to a vulnerable 12 (10 fortified divisions had been used in the Gulf War alone);
 
     2. How to reduce the Navy from 546 to 380 ships, toward a targeted reduction of 300, the smallest naval force since the pre-WWII period;
 
     3. How to reduce the air Force from 76 flight Squadrons to 50;
 
     4. How to insure thousands of young military families, in all branches of the services, become eligible for food stamps and other forms of welfare; and insure the decline of re-enlistment rates to perilous levels, especially in critically needed technical occupations and specialties;
 
     5. How to insure breakdowns in training, maintaining high-tech ships and airplanes, and other vital high-tech equipment and weapons systems.
Unquote.*
 
     The net some of her Lessons in "Gutting the Military". 
 
Quote
     Global insecurity: Conflict between the West and Transnational terrorists, conventional and unconventional conflicts on four continents, and the threat of nuclear war on the Indian subcontinent and Korean peninsula, and possibly in the Middle East. The Clinton Co-Presidency era is bracketed by the 1990 and 2001 terrorist attacks on New York's World Trade Center and their reckless disregard for America's internal security--attacks on our most prominent landmarks and institutions, on our own soil.

This is just one of the Lessons Hillary Learned as co-President and that she maintains qualifies her to be the next President. More Lessons to follow.

Wahhibi/al Qaeda Command & Control

For some time I have noticed that statements from the President, Vice President, "Homeland security", State, Defense, and others that these groups of terrorists that are caught here, in Germany, in England, etc are just "Franchises" or just "Fellow Travelers" of al Qaeda and not actually controlled by al Qaeda. This strikes me as either "exquisitely naïve" or deliberately misleading. In every case they are associated with Wahhabi Mosques.
    
     The Wahhabi/al Qaeda Command and Control Structure for destruction of Infidel Nations/Governments can be found by anyone with a computer and "Goggle" or "Ask", it is in a word "Mosques", "Wahhabi Mosques" to be specific, 2,000 of which are very active in the United States alone.       
 
    Their proliferation from Indonesia to Europe, England, Australia, and South America that has taken place in the last 20 to 30 years is not benign. The sole purpose of the Mosques is the control of that huge immigration of Muslims. This was not an immigration of people escaping from either poverty or suppression by their governments, it was and is instead the "Spearhead" of an attacking army, prepositioned for the purpose of bringing about the new "Caliphate".
 
     They are not only ready to use attacks like 9/11 but studiously attack our civilization, our religion, our morality thru the Courts to get special considerations for Muslims, with the aide and assistance from the likes of CAIR (a Wahhabi Organization) and the ACLU (a Communist Organization) in the United States. Sadly they have been successful.
    
     The Wahhabi Mosques Command and Control Structure; 
 
     1.  Accumulates and distributes wealth world wide in support of al Qaeda;
     2.  Provides command and control Communications world wide;
     3.  Location of in-place commanders, operation officers, and intelligence collectors, the Imams;
     4.  Trains/Brainwashes their own as well as converts in the suicidal mandate of "Fatwa";
     5.  Infiltrates our Prisons, Schools and Universities to convert the disaffected. They have been successful as noted by Prison Authorities, and evidenced in our schools that today hold mandatory classes on "How to be a Muslim" to include study of the Koran. You will note there are no classes on "How to be a Jew, Christian, Buddhist, etc" and this is encouraged by the Secular Progressives;
     6.  The 9/11 Terrorists had a superb network waiting for them when they entered the United States, it doesn't take a leap of faith to see that the Wahhabi Mosques was/is that Network.
     7.  What better way to accumulate the materials to use in "suicidal attacks" against power stations, waterways, shopping centers, etc, etc, then to purchase business that use these materials, in each country they have invaded.
      While this of course is not a complete outline of the "Command and Control Structure" I contend is in place, but I'm sure you get the message.
    
     In the event that we desert Iraq, as the Secular Progressives want us to do, and war erupts over an attack on Israel, promised by al Qaeda, Iran, Syria, etc.  What better way to support their war effort then to have in place a "Command and Control Center" to commit sabotage in those countries that are committed to come to the aid of Israel? 
      
     Finally the vary nature of the distortion that the Muslim Immigration has had in some countries in Europe is that they are in danger of loosing their Judo/Christian Identities. These countries are already reneging on some of their NATO commitments, which is a further problem should war erupt.
 
      Maybe this is just a case of "Chicken Little" on my part, I don't think so and our leaders, from 'Homeland Security", State, Defense, to the President need to be more forthcoming with the American People on these probable dangers.

A Religious War

 


     For some time I have thought that the description of a "War on Terror" is a misnomer, this is in fact a Religious War.  A modern war of all Islamic nations against primarily the Judo-Christian Western Nations.  While the primary movers are the Radical Islamics the so called moderates are glad to set by and let the Radicals do their dirty work.  Do not believe for a minute that the words of the Koran that demands death to the Infidel are not only taught to all, but are emphatically believed to be  Commanded by Allah.    
    
     A little history will help understand where they are coming from.  The Muslim Empire or Caliphate at its peek extended from roughly Iraq & Iran, South into North Africa, West to Spain and   ultimately East into India.  It ended in 1924 when Turkey abolished the Ottoman Caliphate.
    
      The early leaders of the Muslim Empire following Muhammad's (570-632) death were called Kalafat a rasul Allah, meaning the political successor to the Prophet of God Muhammad. There has always been a split between the Sunni Muslims and Shia. The Sunni believe that this leader is chosen or elected by the community. The Shia believe that Muhammad chose his cousin and son-in-law as his successor and that his descendants are the only proper Muslim leaders or Imams.  This has caused "Family Warfare" in the Muslim world ever since. The the Wahhabi are one of the most radical Muslims as well as the most wealthy. They are sect in Saudi Arabia and are supported by the Saudi family which pays for the spread of Whahhabism throughout the world.
    
      As you know there has not been an Jewish State since Biblical Times until after WWII. The first move to create a Jewish State began after WWI. With President Wilson's backing, Britain assumed its League of Nations mandate over Palestine, issuing the Balfour Declaration that served as a commitment on behalf of Jewish statehood in Palestine.  President Truman to his credit, despite buffeting from his own State Department, the British, and from militant Zionist, in the end "supported the right of Jewish refugees to immigrate to Palestine, endorsed partition, and acknowledged Israel's independence."
    
     Not only were all Muslims ruled by Christian Nations for many years but now a Jewish Nation was imposed on then. This was a total affront to the Modern Muslim Nations, and would fester as the Western nations, primarily Britten and France withdrew and gave up their empires.  Israel becomes a very modern wealthy nation on a par with most western nations. Turns the desert in to farms and develops a powerful military.  Then comes the Six Days of War as Israel is attacked by the Arab
States. In a dazzling Victory Israel  defeats the Arab Nations and controls all of Palestine, the Golan Heights, part of Lebanon and the Sinai Peninsula.  
    
     In one of the stupidest moves ever made by an American President, Mr. Carter, apparently an antisemitic, forced Israel to return the Sinai  and other conquered territories.  
    
     We are all aware of the attacks on Israel from all sides and the condemnation of Israel by the UN because they protected themselves. We are also aware of what led us to invade Iraq and where we are today.
    
     My question is who's controlling the Islamic War against the judo-Cristian World?  What will happen if we leave before there is a viable Iraqi Government?  
    
     Here are some of the things that worries me:
          1. What stimulated the horde of Muslim emigration to major western cities in Europe and the US in the last 15-20 years? Was this directed by a Leader or Leaders of the Muslim World?
          2. Why have the Muslims in our prisons made such a great effort to convert criminals to Islam? Is it because these people are prime candidates to support subversive activities in this country upon their release from prison?
          3. Why the great effort to convert leftist students to Islam in our schools? Is it because like criminals the will support subversive activities too?
          4. Why do the liberal schools in our country have our children pretend to be Muslim, dress as Muslims, and read the Koran? Why don't them have them pretend to be Jews, or Christians?
          5. Why do they collect in ghettos, making no attempt to integrate?   Is it because their isolation from Americans insures control by the Imams?
          6. Why does Saudi Arabia build Mosques and schools in each of these Ghettos? Could it be to train children as suicide bombers?
          7. Why did Saudi Arabia pay for Pakistan's Atomic Weapons.
          8. Why do the Imams in these mosques and the teachers in these schools emphasis the hate for Christians and Jews. Why do they support organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah? To insure their support for war with the west?
          9. Why were the US, England, France, and Spain targeted for Terrorist action?  Could it be that it was a test of prepositioned support elements in each of these countries?
        10. Why is Jordon seeking an atomic energy producing capability? To increase her position in control of a Muslim war with the West?
        11. Why did the Muslim World celebrate the control of Congress passing to the Liberal Left in the last elections? Why will they support the election of a Liberal Left President? 
     
     I am convinced that the Muslim World is more unified than we know.  Iran is maneuvering for leadership, the leader may be Osama and is protected by Pakistan, maybe its the Saudi Family.  I don't know, but there is a definite indication that all of the things I questioned above are coordinated by someone.
     
     There are at least two things that will enhance their war against the west:  1. We leave Iraq before that government cant sustain itself no mater what we do;  2. That a leftist Democratic Congress with a Leftist Democratic President will "Cut and Run". This is supported by statements made by the leaders on the left like Mrs Clinton's that "If elected her first act would be to "Cut and Run".  
    
     Hillery, or her ilk, if elected president and they gain full control of both houses, together with a change of government in England plus Iran's successful development of Atomic Weapons makes the period 2008/2009 look like a target date for their war against the west. 
    
     Iraq is important to their plans and even if we are successful there, they will still pursue there War against the Judo Christian World. I believe that this will manifest itself with either an attack on Israel by all the Muslim Nations starting with dropping Atomic Bombs on Israel. Even if an attempt by Israel to preempt such an attack by hitting Iran takes place.  The Muslim Nations will retaliate and  this will force at least the US to come to the aide of Israel hopefully with support of the western nations.
     
     I suspect at first we will be alone except for England, Australia, and a few others.  Russia and China will support the Muslims just as they did North Korea and North Vietnam and on the surface will not take not seem to be taking part.
    
     Lets consider the hoard of immigrants in the US and European Cities. I believe that their purpose will be to sabotage water sources, electricity, bridges, communication systems, on and on to cripple our ability to wage war, after all they have already tested their ability to do this. 
     
      Finally a really Big Question: Could it be that the attack on the Cole, our embassies, 9/11, on Spain, England etc was just a test of the the "Support elements" in place for this purpose??
    
     My question to our Leaders:   What are the chances that I am correct is my assessment and if so what is being done to prevent this eventuality? I do not doubt that we would win, but is there no way we can prevent this?
