WHICH PORTRAIT LOOKS MORE LIKE OUR FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN FIRST LADY?





















THE SMITHSONIAN'S...

OR TAB'S?

And why is there no brown in the Smithsonian's!?

Why just black and white and blue?

And why is Michelle's skin depicted as white?

What does that signify?

Is it a depiction of a post-racial First Lady?

I think not.

It's postmodern.

The first postmodern portrait of our first postmodern First Lady.

How apt.

Hamas cancels direct talks with Fatah because Fatah agrees to direct talks with Israel

IMEMC: Hamas: “Meeting with Fateh Leaders Delayed In Protest To Direct Talks With Israel”
Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, decided to put on hold a scheduled meeting with Fateh leaders in Gaza in protest to the decision of the Palestinian Liberation Organization’s Executive Committee and the Fateh movement to resume direct talks with Israel.
The meeting was supposed to be held on Saturday evening in Gaza City. The Hamas movement said that the decision to resume talks with Israel was made by an “unconstitutional committee” and that Fateh might use this meeting to market or pass “its crime of talks with the occupation”.

Dr. Salah Al Bardaweel of Hamas, said that Fateh is providing concessions to the occupation and is violating the national Palestinian consensus that rejects talks with Israel, especially under the current circumstances and ongoing violations.

Dr. Bardaweel added that Hamas had initially agreed to the meeting despite Fateh’s ongoing arrests against Hamas members and supporters in the West Bank, and also accused the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank of obstructing official documents to Gaza residents, such as passports, payments for electricity in Gaza and other essential issues.

He further stated that the decision of Fateh movement to resume talks with Israel came amidst national rejection to this issue, and that this decision made it difficult to hold the meeting between the two movements.
THIS PROVES - ONCE AGAIN - THAT THE ARABS ARE TOTALLY DYSFUNCTIONAL AND THAT ISRAEL HAS NO "PARTNER FOR PEACE" AND THAT THERE CAN BE NO MEANINGFUL "PEACE PROCESS". IT'S A SHAM.
  • THE MIDDLE EAST WILL GET PEACE THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY: WHEN THE BAD GUYS SURRENDER UNCONDITIONALLY,
  • AND THAT MEANS CHIEFLY DAMASCUS, BEIRUT AND TEHRAN -
  • AND REGIME IN TEHRAN WILL CAUSE REGIME CHANGE IN THE OTHER TWO.
  • IOW: DESTROYING THE TYRANNY IN TEHRAN WILL BRING PEACE TO THE MIDDLE EAST.
  • AND THE SOONER THE BETTER.

LAST YEAR, THE NHS SPENT MORE ON MANAGEMENT CONSULTING THAN SKIN AND LUNG CANCER TREATMENTS COMBINED

DM:

The NHS in England spent more than £300million on management consultants in the last year, new figures showed today.

The cost is almost the same as the amount spent on skin and lung cancer services combined and is the equivalent of the salary of 10,000 nurses, the data for 2009/10 showed.

The Government released the figures to show how much was spent on management consultants - as well as advice from architects, lawyers and surveyors - in the last year of the Labour government.

THIS IS WHY GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE SUCKS: YOU CAN ONLY WASTE THIS MUCH MONEY IF YOUR ENTERPRISE IS FINANCED BY TAXPAYERS.

THIS IS WHERE WE'RE HEADED - COURTESY OF OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES - UNLESS WE CHANGE DIRECTION THIS NOVEMBER - BY VOTING GOP!

IRAN STARTS NUKE PANT... how soon before they have an "accidental" Chernobyl/China Syndrome meltdown?

Iran has - with Russian "expertise" - gone radioactive of their own volition.


Yeah, the Iranians chose the folks who brought us Chernobyl.

So... how long before the plant has an "accidental": meltdown?


Just asking.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES: 7/09 OBAMA SAYS IT'S HIS ECONOMY; 8/10 - HE BLAMES BUSH!

THE HILL VIA GATEWAY - WHO HAS MORE: A year after claiming the economy as his own, Obama points finger

President Obama this summer has repeatedly blamed George W. Bush for the nation’s economic woes, a year after he took ownership of the economy and criticized those who “carp and gripe.”

The White House’s effort to tie congressional Republicans to Obama’s predecessor comes less than three months before the midterm elections. But the president’s campaign speeches this summer contrast to a speech he delivered in Michigan last year when his approval ratings were 17 points higher.

During a July 14, 2009, address in Warren, Mich., Obama said, “Now, my administration has a job to do, as well, and that job is to get this economy back on its feet. That's my job. And it’s a job I gladly accept. I love these folks who helped get us in this mess and then suddenly say, ‘Well, this is Obama’s economy.’ That’s fine. Give it to me. My job is to solve problems, not to stand on the sidelines and carp and gripe.”

At the time, the AP wrote, “With four simple words -- ‘Give it to me’ – President Barack Obama took possession of the economy.”

Throughout this year, Obama has blamed Bush and the criticism has intensified this month.
OBAMA HASN'T GOT A DAMN THING RIGHT.
  • AS SENATOR, HE WAS WRONG ON THE SURGE.
  • AS POTUS HE WAS WRONG ON THE PORKULUS,
  • HE WAS WRONG ON OBAMACARE,
  • HE WAS WRONG ON THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE.
  • AND SO ON.
OBAMA'S A LOSER.

ONLY WE'RE PAYING THE PRICE.

WE CAN CHANGE THINGS FOR THE BETTER THIS NOVEMBER: VOTE GOP!

9-11 MUSEUM BEING BUILT, BUT SHOULD IT BE UNDERGROUND?

The Philadelphia Bulletin writes about the construction of the 9-11 museum, which is taking place 70 feet below ground.

While this is a very good article for reading, it did make me wonder - should this really be below ground, if I'm reading this correctly? I assume there will be a special structure that'll be located above ground from where you enter, but even so, this is a very challenging question about if this should really be underground.

UPDATED - JULIAN ASSANGE - WIKILEAKS FOUNDER - CHARGED WITH RAPE AND MOLESTATION IN SWEDEN

NYTIMES/REUTERS:

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, whose whistle-blowing website caused uproar last month with a leak of secret U.S. military files on Afghanistan, has been charged in Sweden with rape and molestation, the National Prosecutor's Office said on Saturday.

Assange was quoted by a Swedish daily as denying the allegations.

Assange, an Australian, was in Sweden last week to discuss his work and defend his intent to publish further documents on the war in Afghanistan. He has close ties with the Nordic country, where WikiLeaks has said it keeps some of its servers.

"We can confirm that he's wanted. He was charged last night -- the allegation is suspected rape," said Karin Rosander, Director of Communications at the National Prosecutor's office.

"One is rape and one is molestation," she said, without giving details.

I'M NOT SURPRISED: THIS LEFT-WING SC*MB*G OBVIOUSLY HAS NO RESPECT FOR LAW OR THE RULE OF LAW.

(TOO BAD HE WASN'T CHARGED IN A NATION WITH MORE VIGOROUS PENALTIES AND HARSHER PRISONS. TOO BAD HE WASN'T CHARGED WITH BEING A TERRORIST WHO HAS AIDED AND ABETTED AL QAEDA AND THE TALIBAN!)

ROUND UP HERE AT MEMEORANDUM.

UPDATE:
  • HE MAY GET OFF LIKE POLANSKI: I GUESS IF YOU ARE A POSTMODERN LEFTIST YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING - TREASON, RAPE, MOLESTATION - EVEN PROSTITUTION.
  • ASSANGE JOINS, THE NYTIMES, AL SHARPTON, ELLIOT SPITZER, GERRY STUDDS, ALCEE HASTINGS, ED MEZVINSKY, BOB TORRICELLI, JAMES MCGREEVEY, BARNET FRANK, AND BILL CLINTON - AND SO ON.

THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT VIDEO OF THE SUMMER: JOHN BRENNAN EXPOSING THE VERY CORE OF ANTI-WESTERN/POSTMODERN APPEASEMENT

John Brennan is Obama's chief counter-terror advisor.

In June he met with the editorial board of The Washington Times.


The Washington Times had criticized Brennan for a speech he gave because he argued that poor social conditions are what drive some Muslims into Jihad.

THIS IS ABSURD.

ALL of the 9/11 mass murderers were educated and had ample opportunity to seek education and employment in the West. They were not impoverished, under-educated or criminal, nor did they come from broken homes. They were not driven into Jihad by the material horrors of their lives - for their lives were not materially horrible. They were attracted to Jihad because it is the core of Islam and - despite their lives of relative material ease - they were very dedicated Muslims.

Those who claim the swamp is poverty are dupes or traitors.

ANYHOW, HERE IS THE HEADLINE VIDEO:

Watch Brennan; he just doesn't get it:



More from Ed Driscoll:

TWT: We have a copy of your speech here from whitehouse.gov, which I assume is the correct speech and the way I read this, and I think the plain English reading is : ‘This includes addressing the political, economic and social forces that can make some people fall victim to the cancer of violent extremism.’

BRENNAN: Right…victim to the cancer of violent extremism. Victim to that cancer as opposed to

TWT: But, you’re not talking about dead bodies here. You’re talking about the people who fall under the sway of the terrorist ideology and…

BRENNAN: Right.

TWT: …and commit acts of terror.

BRENNAN: Absolutely…as you say fall under the sway of, and what you say in your editorial is that ‘the terrorists are victims of political, economic, and social forces.’ That is not what I said.

TWT: That’s exactly what you said.

BRENNAN:That is not exactly what I said.

TWT: Immediately afterwards, you start talking about how you’re going to address this, and you say that ‘we need to show that legitimate grievances can be resolved, that we need to have good governance, that we need to reduce corruption, we need to renew partnerships and improve education, health, and basic services.

BRENNAN: Right, but don’t you think those are worth while endeavors? And don’t you think that some factors contribute to the spawning of terrorists and extremist forces?

TWT: You’re saying that the people who are terrorists are victims of these things.

BRENNAN: I didn’t say that. Read what I said literally

TWT: We did read what you said.

BRENNAN: And you still don’t get it…do you?

TWT: No. Particularly since, if my knowledge of history is anything, that the terrorists who strike us over and over again are not people who are victims of these things. They are people who have the opportunity to become westerners. They are people who have the opportunity to…

BRENNAN: Opportunity to become westerners?!?! Boy if that is not an arrogant attitude. Opportunities to become westerners…people who strike us wherever they’re from?

TWT: People who are so oppressed, that they have college educations at western schools. People who are so oppressed that people who have middle class lifestyles even in that places that they come from that are poor.

BRENNAN: Right. They are ideologically driven by a perverse and distorted version of Islam. Absolutely.

TWT: That has nothing to do with their social situation. Their social situation is just fine.

BRENNAN: So you don’t think that people who become ideologically driven are influenced at all by the political, social, and economic forces of their environment? You’re saying that they do this irrespective of their environment…of those social, political, and economic forces that are out there?

TWT: You’re not accurately describing their environment.

Huh. You’d think the Obama White House in particular would understand better that “social, political, and economic factors” and other issues facing the immediate environment of someone often have nothing to with creating a terrorist worldview.

The left just doesn't get it; they want to blame poverty or the West but NEVER ISLAM!

HERE IS THE SPEECH BRENNAN GAVE:

FIRST AN EXCERPT:



YUP: HE CALLED JERUSALEM BY IT'S ARAB NAME. WHAT A FREAKIN' APPEASER!

Here's the first half of the speech in question:



Brennan is articulating the postmodern version of reality; it's a version in which the USA and Israel and Christianity are the bad guys whose century of bad behavior created the conditions which give rise to people who are susceptible to Jihad. It's a pseudo-intellectual way of saying our chickens came home to roost.

This of course not only fails to explain the 9/11 hijackers, but also the preceding 1200 years of Global Jihad waged by Muslims against NON-WESTERN Hindus, Buddhists, Bahais, Zoroastrians, and animists.

It's not only an explanation that fails the fact-test; it fails the morality test, too: 20% of the people of the world are impoverished. Most do not become Jihadists. Saying poverty breeds jihad is a slur against poor people - most of whom are law-abiding and peaceful people.

I think the "Petri dish" of Jihad is the misogynist Muslim family: families which raise boys to believe murdering a female family member can restore family honor are of course going to be able to commit genocide against people their faith designates as infidels.

The swamp is the misogynist family. The thing that made this swamp and the disease that breeds in this swamp is Islam itself.

If Brennan was serious about wanting to drain the swamp using non-kinetic means, then he should be pursuing an aggressive anti-misogynist strategies: isolating and enacting harsh sanctions regimes against all nations that permit misogyny, forced marriages, honor-killing, and so forth. As long as women in Islamic nations can be second class citizens, there will be boys raised to become jihadists.

CRAP JUST SEEMS TO FOLLOW OBAMA WHEREVER HE GOES: MARTHA'S VINEYARD BEACHES CLOSED DUE TO FECAL MATTER!


BOSTON HERALD:
WEST TISBURY - Welcome to Martha’s Vineyard, Mr. President - but don’t go in the water!

President Obama, who took a plunge in the Gulf last week to show Americans it was safe to swim the oil spill-plagued area, arrived on this supposedly pristine island yesterday in the midst of a rash of bacteria-induced beach closings.

Portions of Tisbury Great Pond, the salt-water lagoon fronting the first family’s vacation estate Blue Heron Farm, were closed earlier this week due to high levels of enterococci, an indicator that the water is contaminated with fecal coliform bacteria. Ew.

High levels of enterococci can cause skin irritation, vomiting or diarrhea in swimmers. Which could ruin anyone’s vacation!
YEAH BABY!

PREDICTION: HOWARD DEAN WILL CHALLENGE OBAMA FOR THE NOMINATION



DEAN IS CRITICIZING OBAMA FROM THE LEFT AND RIGHT.

HE EVEN CRITICIZED OBAMACARE.


I THINK HE'S DECIDED TO CHALLENGE OBAMA.

DEAN PROBABLY FEELS HE DID MORE FOR THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND OBAMA AS PARTY CHAIRMAN, THAN OBAMA HAS DONE FOR THE NATION OR THE PARTY SINCE BECOMING POTUS AND REPLACING DEAN WITH KAINE.

HE MIGHT BE RIGHT.

AND DEAN MIGHT DO VERY WELL ONE-ON-ONE AGAINST OBAMA.

AS BRITAIN WARNS LIBYA NOT TO HONOR LOCKERBIE BOMBER, ABBAS AND FATAH HONOR MUNICH OLYMPICS TERROR ATTACK PLANNER

CSM: Britain to Libya: Don't celebrate Lockerbie bomber's release

Libya leader Muammar Qaddafi may throw a party for convicted Lockerbie murderer Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, released one year ago today. Britain is warning against such action.

In this Aug. 20, 2009 file photo, hundreds of Libyans welcome Libyan Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, who found guilty of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, top left, as he is accompanied by Seif al-Islam Qaddafi, son of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi upon his arrival at airport in Tripoli, Libya after Scotland freed the terminally ill Lockerbie bomber on compassionate grounds.

... Great Britain has warned Libya not to celebrate the anniversary of the release of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the only person convicted in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 259 people on board and 11 on the ground.

Scotland released Megrahi, a former Libyan intelligence agent, one year ago on what it said it were "compassionate" grounds, with a court there arguing the man had three months to live. Both the release of the mass murderer by Scotland and the hero's welcome he was given by Libya when he returned home were deeply offensive to the families of his victims.

Now, reports suggest Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi is planning another party for Megrahi. In response, the British government said Friday that such celebrations would be “tasteless, offensive, and deeply insensitive,'' reports the Daily Telegraph.

HMMM: “tasteless, offensive, and deeply insensitive,'' SORT OF LIKE THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE, NO!?

IT GETS WORSE:

MEANWHILE, IN THE SO-CALLED WEST BANK (WEASEL ZIPPERS):

Mahmoud Abbas Honors Palestinian Terrorist Who Planned 1972 Munich Massacre With Military Funeral, Hailed as “Martyr” and “Patriotic Leader”…

Yes, Abbas is still Obama’s “partner in peace”…

(CNSNews.com)Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas gave a military funeral this week to the man believed to be the last surviving planner of the terrorist attack on Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972.

Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad also attended Amin Al-Hindi’s funeral ceremony Wednesday at the presidential compound in Ramallah

Al-Hindi, who had cancer of the liver and the pancreas, died in Amman, Jordan on Tuesday aged 70.

“President Mahmoud Abbas attended the funeral, reciting passages of the Quran in Al-Hindi’s honor,” the Palestinian news agency Ma’an reported.

It quoted top Fatah official Zakariah Al-Agha as calling Al-Hindi a “patriotic leader” and a “martyr.”

“Fatah sources said Al-Hindi was given the homage befitting a hero both in the West Bank and Gaza,” said the Gulf News of Dubai.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT ISLAM THAT MAKES MUSLIMS SO EAGER TO HONOR GENOCIDAL MURDERERS?

ER, UM... IT'S THE KORAN, STUPID!

MEGRAHI AND AL HINDI WERE JUST LIKE MOHAMED THEIR PROPHET: MURDEROUS SCUM.

A SO-CALLED RELIGION WHICH WORSHIPS A MURDEROUS PEDOPHILE LIKE MOHAMED CAN NEVER LEAD PEOPLE TO GREATER GOOD.

BBC ACTUALLY ANGERED THE ISRAEL-BASHERS

They've produced a new documentary about the Mavi Marmara flotilla, and the anti-semites in the UK are outraged that it doesn't go low enough:
LONDON – A BBC documentary screened this week that investigated the Gaza flotilla incident on May 31 is causing a storm of protest – from critics of Israel, who are furious that the program was not as hostile to Israel as they thought it should be.

The critics, including an activist from the Free Gaza movement who was aboard the Mavi Marmara, are organizing demonstrations on Sunday outside the BBC’s London headquarters and other BBC offices, and are calling for a mass campaign of complaints to the BBC in general and the program makers in particular.

In Death in the Med, the BBC’s flagship documentary series Panorama examined the ill-fated Israeli interception of the Mavi Marmara, the only ship from the Free Gaza flotilla which saw confrontation between activists and Israeli troops.

The half-hour program had exclusive access to the Israeli navy unit that took part in the raid and interviewed a number of the commandos, as well as members of the Free Gaza group and the IHH movement that organized the flotilla.

Using previously unseen video footage from the IDF and confiscated passenger tapes, mostly recorded by members of a group called Cultures of Resistance, the program concluded that the main aim of the activists had not been to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza, but rather to orchestrate a political act designed to put pressure on Israel and the international community.

The program also concluded that the Israeli commandos encountered a violent, premeditated attack by a hardcore group of activists organized by IHH members. Nine Turkish nationals were killed by the commandos after they came under attack when boarding the Mavi Marmara.
For a Beeb production, this sounds rather honest! No wonder the UK's anti-semites are mad. Some people will just never be happy and would rather drag the whole world down with them. And that includes the flotilla fiends.

MUSLIM WOMAN SUES DISNEY FOR NOT ALLOWING HEADSCARF

Here's another case in America of a Muslim who simply won't respect company policy:
Imane Boudal, 26, asked her employers at Disneyland’s Grand Californian Hotel several months ago whether they would permit her to wear a headcovering while working as a hostess, a spokesman for a worker’s union said.

But when no reply was forthcoming, she decided to don the headscarf anyway, timing her decision with the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, Leigh Shelton, a spokesman for the Unite Here Local 11 union said.

“Disney told Boudlal that if she wanted to work as a hostess she had to remove her hijab because it did not comply with the 'Disney Look,’” the spokesman said.

“Disney further advised Boudlal that if she refused to remove her hijab, she could either work a back-of-the-house position where any customers would not see her, or else go home.”

Miss Boudlal refused the compromise and is now bringing Disney before the US Equal Opportunity Commission, a federal agency that handles claims of workplace discrimination.
This is rather surprising that a Disney company, of all places, is willing to maintain this kind of policy. Does it mean they've learned their lesson since the time they attempted to subvert a Holy Land exhibition they once put on display in Florida, for the sake of CAIR and an Arabic prince whom they were doing business with?

WHO'RE THEY KIDDING?

Britain's told Libya not to celebrate the release of the Lockerbie bomber.

C'mon, do they really think that's going to work? Not only is Libya unlikly to heed message, I don't think even the UK expects it to work either.

The Naked Harry Reid

Harry Reid likes to paint his opponent in this year's Senate race -- conservative Republican Sharron Angle -- as some sort of extremist because she believes in the Constitution. But Sharron Angle didn't nationalize the health care system against the will of the people. She didn't put America on a trajectory of economic ruin with unprecedented "Stimulus" spending. She doesn't favor open borders like Reid. And, best I can tell, Sharron Angle isn't involved in the shady, sleazy deals that Reid's been entangled with for decades.

From 2002 to 2005, Senator Reid was exceedingly generous with Christmas gifts for service workers at his luxury condo. He gave away $3,000 in gifts and gratuities for elevator and cleaning personnel. Unfortunately, the money came from campaign contributions and not his own bank account. It was only after the Associated Press' John Solomon discovered the sleazy behavior that Reid claimed it was a clerical issue and a Republican smear campaign.

In 2004, for example, after Reid made a profit of $1.1 million on a real estate deal, he failed to fully disclose the details as required by the Senate. And his partner was reported to have extremely odd ties to the casino business and reportedly surfaced in investigations into organized crime and bribery.

In 2005, Sen. Reid sponsored an $18 million earmark to build a bridge over the Colorado River. Coincidentally, a few miles from the bridge's location is a 160-acre parcel of land owned by one Senator Harry Reid. So, yes, Reid's own earmark greatly increases the value of his huge swath of land.

Curiously, Reid had received 60 of the acres from an oil magnate friend -- the owner of Haycock Petroleum -- for a total of $10,000 in 2002, though its assessed value was $120,000. And Reid continues to underreport the value of the land, though nearby sales put its real value at nearly half a million.

Harry Reid's three sons and his son-in-law are also concerned with serving the people. All have served as lobbyists and have blurred the line between family connections and special interests. In fact, his son-in-law helped increase lobbying fees at DC's Holland & Hart from $100K to $2 million in only one year. A series of LA Times investigative reports suggested that Reid had introduced legislation and pressured regulators to unblock a huge real estate deal fronted a heavy Reid contributor who also happened to be the employer of Reid's son Leif.

At the same time, Reid was vice-chair of the Senate Ethics Committee. When asked specifically about conflicts of interest involving family member-slash-lobbyists, he insisted there were none. Yet the Senate's rules have since changed to prohibit lobbying by family members, but I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

The Times' story found that mining companies paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to lobbying firms, and the payments just happened to follow around Reid's son-in-law from firm to firm. Rory Reid's services were also sought out by mining firm Placer Dome, according to the Times.

Reid's son-in-law was also engaged by the American Gaming Association, a helicopter tour company fighting restrictions near the Grand Canyon, chemical companies seeking deals in Nevada and the Hughes Corporation as it looked for land near Vegas. Sen. Reid helpfully advanced all of their agendas -- purely for altruistic reasons -- and even helped a partner in the law firm that employed all of Reid's sons get a right-of-way moved off his property.

"Reid never told his Senate colleagues or the public that the provisions he authored, some of which were technically and not apparently beneficial to anyone, were, in fact, introduced on behalf of clients who paid his sons and son-in-law over $2 million."

But Harry Reid's public service wasn't yet complete. In running the Senate, Harry's "spread the wealth" -- using the taxpayers' money to jam through socialized medicine with various bribes, payoffs and "incentives".

When Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana was undecided about DemCare, Reid ensured she received a $300 million "bonus" for her state. Chris Dodd received a $100 million medical facility in Connecticut (any guess as to what it might be called?).

In short, Harry Reid is a menace to this country. His opponent, Sharron Angle, is not.

Remember in November.

THE APPEASERS AT AP WANT A NEW NAME FOR THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE

SO, I GOT ONE FOR THEM:


THE BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA JUNIOR MOSQUE.

SHOCKING POLL: 76% OF AMERICANS THINK OBAMA IS EITHER AN ATHEIST, OR AN AGNOSTIC, OR A PSEUDO CHRISTIAN

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ONLY 24% THINK HE'S MUSLIM.

Seriously.

How could anyone think Obama might be a Muslim - albeit a crypto-Muslim ?

SIMPLE:

Obama's "father"/namesake was a Muslim. That's why his middle name is HUSSEIN.

Obama's step-father was a Muslim.

Obama was raised as Muslim in Indonesia.

Obama himself called the Muslim call to prayer one of the most beautiful sounds on Earth.

The first place out of the USA Obama ever went to was Pakistan in the 1980's with his Muslim college roommates.

Obama's only "church" was a "church" which practices a phony and racist thing they call "Black Liberation Theology".

Obama was baptized and married by the guy who ran itm and he's a former Muslim who constantly praised Hamas and Hizballah and honored Farrakhan and said "GOD DAMN AMERICA!".

Obama has bent over backwards to accommodate Muslims and Arabs, and repeatedly treated our traditional allies shabbily - namely Britain and France and Israel and all of Eastern Europe.

Obama's first big foreign policy speeches were delivered in Cairo and Turkey.

Obama bowed down to the King of Saudi Arabia.

Obama hasn't joined or regularly attended a Church since becoming president.

IF OBAMA ISN'T A CRYPTO-MUSLIM, THEN HE MIGHT AS WELL BE!

SERIOUSLY:

IF HE REALLY WAS A MUSLIM, WOULD HE BE DOING ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY?

NOPE.

Aussie judge orders witness to remove niqab in court

GOOD:

An Australian judge has ruled that a Muslim woman must remove her full veil while giving evidence before a jury in a fraud case.

The judge in Perth said she did not consider it appropriate that the witness appear with her face covered.

The prosecution said the woman - identified only as Tasneem - would feel uncomfortable without her niqab, which would affect her evidence.

RAMADAN TERROR ATTACK IN CHINA

IT'S NOT THE GOP OR BUSHCHENEYHALIBURTION OR THE JOOOOOOOZE.

IT'S THE GLOBAL JIHAD, STUPID!

Wednesday, August 18, 2010

We are at war with Islam because Mohamed declared war on us.

If the 1,500,000,000 so-called moderate Muslims disagree with that statement, then they can prove it: why don't they form a 15 million man army and invade Afghanistan and kill the folks the Taliban?

That's a mere 1%.

I will guarantee a 15 million man horde of Muslims - even just armed with scimitars - would demolish the Taliban in a month or so.

Why don't they do it?

Because they tacitly support the jihadists.

ANALOGY:
  • Not every black was in the civil rights movement, but 99% supported it.
  • It's the same with Muslims: not all participate in global jihad but 99% support it.
Moderate Muslims are the real apostates, not the jihadists. Jihadists practice true Islam.

The only way to stop the jihadists now is to do what stopped them before.

Beat them.

Without mercy.

Fighting total war.

And the sooner the better.

If Iran gets a few nukes, then the costs of war go up exponentially.

I think moderate Muslims should stop being apostates and convert to atheism, agnosticism, Christianity, Hinduism, Bahai, Zoroastrianism, or whatever.

The world would be a better place. More peaceful. More prosperous. With greater solidarity.

The Human Condition would be improved.

I ain't holding my breath. Most Muslims are too fearful to convert: I think most Muslims are suffering from the Stockholm Syndrome (and have since childhood) - and that Muslim on Muslim intimidation and coercion is the only reason there are Muslims today.

So they won't leave Islam en masse until something awfully big and awfully awful happens.

It may, sooner than you think...

As a matter of fact, I think WW4 is going to get much worse before it gets better.

ANOTHER RESCUE OF A JEWESS FROM THE CLUTCHES OF ISLAM

Yad l'Achim has successfully accomplished another rescue effort of a Jewish woman who stupidly married an Arab Muslim:
Yad L’Achim has pulled it off again. The anti-missionary and anti-assimilation organization was able, within hours of receiving word of a Jewess trapped in an Arab village with her four children, to rescue the five and find them a safe haven outside Israel.

The story began just a week ago, when a tearful man arrived in Yad L’Achim offices in Bnei Brak on Tuesday evening and asked to speak directly with the director, Rabbi Shalom Dov Lifshitz. He explained that his sister had married an Arab several years ago, but was now trapped in his village somewhere in Palestinian Authority-controlled area, prevented even from leaving her house.

Yad L’Achim has faced this situation many times in the past, and a task force was quickly set up to collect the necessary information and determine a plan of action. The one opening seemed to be that the next day, Wednesday, she had been granted special permission by her Arab husband/master to leave for a one-time, important purchase – but only with three of her children; one of them was to be left behind in the care of a local Arab woman, to ensure that she would return.

The only thing that Yad L’Achim is willing to say about the rescue effort is that “miraculously, the woman and all four of her children were rescued.” How this occurred is not being publicized, for fear of jeopardizing future rescues of this nature. “All I can say,” said Rabbi Lifshitz, “is that there were miracles of people seeing and not seeing, and things were done that should normally have aroused attention, and with G-d’s kindness, everything transpired successfully.”

The woman and her children were taken to the nearest checkpoint, and with the help and cooperation of “local elements,” they were brought into area under Israeli jurisdiction, and from there, to a secret apartment.
Now do you know where they're going to live, following their rescue? In South America, because the "father/husband" is likely to go hunting and stalking around to try and snatch them again. A shame if it has to be that far away, but I suppose it's for the best.

ARAB INVADES TURKISH EMBASSY IN ISRAEL SEEKING ASYLUM

Tayyip Erdogan has a supporter in Israel who wanted asylum, but was luckily captured and didn't get it:
TEL AVIV, Israel – A Palestinian who broke into the Turkish Embassy in Israel trying to take hostages and demanding asylum was turned over to Israeli authorities late Tuesday, ending a tense standoff.

Seven hours after he forced his way into the embassy, the attacker was escorted out of the embassy and bundled into an Israeli ambulance. Wearing a light blue shirt and limping slightly from an apparent gunshot wound, he raised his arms briefly and shouted before Israeli police and paramedics subdued him.

An hour earlier, the Turkish government said it had the situation in hand.

"Our embassy guards neutralized the individual as he tried to take the vice consul as hostage after shouting around for asylum," the Turkish statement said, adding he was armed with a knife, a gasoline can and a gun that turned out to be a toy.

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor identified the attacker as Nadim Injaz, a Palestinian from the West Bank town of Ramallah. Israeli police said Injaz was recently released from prison after serving time for an attack on the British Embassy four years ago, also to seek asylum.

Channel 2 TV played a recording of a phone call it said came from the attacker.

"I have two hostages," he said in Hebrew. "I will blow up the embassy. ... If they don't let me leave this country now I will burn down the whole building. I will burn everything. I will burn the cars, the doors I will break down the doors. I will break everything."

A lawyer who said he spoke to Injaz by phone told Israel Radio that the hostages, the consul and his wife, had escaped.

Injaz said he admired Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

"I love him and I respect him," he said. The Turkish leader "should give me political asylum against these murderers the Zionists, the murdering Jews," he added, linking the incident indirectly to recent tensions between Israel and Turkey.

He also condemned Palestinian leaders, saying President Mahmoud Abbas "should die" for stealing funds.
Let's see, he hates Israel, doesn't like Abbas either, but still supports Turkey, as if they wouldn't suppress him as well. Must be the bizzarrity of Islam sinking in for this dumb man.

But even if he hadn't approached the embassy so violently, would they have granted asylum? Probably not, because truly, do they care about the "palestinians"? Not really.

PARTIAL LIFTING OF APARTHEID AGAINST PALESTINIANS - LIVING IN CAMPS IN LEBANON!

BBC:

Lebanon's parliament has, after long delay, passed a law which allows Palestinian refugees to work legally.

There are an estimated 400,000 Palestinians living in Lebanon and, given its delicate sectarian balance, their status is a sensitive issue.

Many are still living in camps where conditions are dire.

... the advances remain well short of the rights enjoyed by Palestinian refugees in Syria, Jordan and elsewhere in the region.

Palestinians in Lebanon will still be unable to work in the public sector or in professions such as medicine, law or engineering, where membership of Lebanese syndicates is compulsory.

They will also continue to be denied access to Lebanese state medical or educational facilities.

Those services are provided to the refugees by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa), which is currently suffering from a severe financing deficit.

... Some of the youngsters who throng the camps are fourth-generation offspring whose great-grandparents fled what is now northern Israel in 1948.

THESE 60 YEAR OLD CAMPS ARE WORSE THAN ANYTHING IN GAZA OR THE WEST BANK.

THESE ARABS WERE TREATED WORSE BY THEIR FELLOW ARABS THAN BY ISRAEL.

THEY WERE CAPTIVES AND PAWNS OF THE JIHADISTS AND THE LEFT.

THAT'S WHY YOU NEVER HEARD THE ARABS OR THE LEFT COMPLAIN ABOUT THEM.

THEY NEVER CALLED IT "APARTHEID" OR DEMANDED DIVESTITURE OF LEBANESE HOLDINGS OR BOYCOTTS OF LEBANESE PRODUCTS.

THEY ONLY COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW ISRAEL TREAT ARABS.

WHY?

SIMPLE: IT'S ARAB ANTISEMITISM, AND THE HOME AWAY FROM HOME FOR ANTISEMITISM IS THE LEFT.

THE UN AND THE SO-CALLED "INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY" WHICH HAS NON-STOP HARASSED ISRAEL FOR 760 YEARS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITICAL POSTMODERN ANTI-AMERICAN ANTISEMITIC LEFTISTS.

THE FACT THAT THEY IGNORED THE CAMPS IN JERUSALEM - NAY RAN THEM - IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THESE AMORAL SC*MB*GS.

IT'S OKAY THAT HE'S PLAYING HIS UNGTEENTH ROUND SINCE THE INAUGURAL: OBAMA TO GOLF ON ORGANIC COURSE DURING HIS 6TH VACATION

NYTIMES:

Opened eight years ago, the club is thought to be the only completely organic golf course in the United States, its 18 holes groomed without the use of a single synthetic pesticide, fertilizer, herbicide or other artificial chemical treatment.

“When we started here, some of my peers thought this golf course would be a dust bowl,” Carlson said, walking across a lush, smooth green toward a rolling, verdant fairway. “I admit I wasn’t so sure it could be done myself. People said we were crazy.”

The club has a more prominent endorsement now. The nation’s first golfer, President Obama, is expected to play here while vacationing this month, after playing the course twice last year.


OKAY THEN IT'S OKAY FOR OBAMA TO BE ON HIS 6TH VACATION THIS SUMMER WHILE THE ECONOMY TANKS CUZ THE GOLF COURSE IS ORGANIC.

FIRST CONFIRMED STONING IN AFGHANISTAN SINCE 2001

AP: Taliban stone couple for adultery
When extremists ruled Afghanistan, public killings were common.
Taliban militants [MISLEADING REDUNDANCY!] in northern Afghanistan stoned a young couple to death for adultery, which a rights group said was the first confirmed use of the punishment here since the hardline Islamist regime was ousted in 2001.

The Taliban-ordered killing comes at a time when international rights groups have raised worries that attempts to negotiate with the Taliban to bring peace to Afghanistan could mean a step backward for human rights in the country. When the Islamist extremists ruled Afghanistan, women were not allowed to leave their houses without a male guardian, and public killings for violations of their harsh interpretation of the Koran were common.

This weekend's stoning appeared to arise from an affair between a married man and a single woman in Kunduz province's Dasht-e-Archi district.

The woman, Sadiqa, was 20 years old and engaged to another man, said the Kunduz provincial police chief, Gen. Abdul Raza Yaqoubi. Her lover, 28-year-old Qayum, left his wife to run away with her, and the two had holed up in a friend's house five days ago, said district government head, Mohammad Ayub Aqyar.

They were discovered by Taliban operatives on Sunday and stoned to death in front a crowd of about 150 men, Aqyar said.

First the woman was brought out and stoned, then the man a half an hour later, Aqyar said. He decried the punishment, which he said was ordered by two local Taliban commanders.

A spokesman for the provincial government also condemned the act.

"It is against all human rights and international conventions," said spokesman Mabubullah Sayedi. "There was no court. It was cruel."

Amnesty International said it was the first confirmed stoning in Afghanistan since the fall of Taliban rule in the 2001 US-led invasion.
BBC:

A man and a woman who allegedly had an adulterous affair have been stoned and killed in the northern Afghan province of Kunduz.

The punishment happened in a crowded bazaar on Sunday in the Taliban-controlled village of Mullah Quli.

The Taliban have not commented on the public killing, but it was confirmed by local officials and witnesses.

This month the Taliban also reportedly flogged and killed a pregnant widow in western Baghdis province.

A spokesman for Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Waheed Omar, said if the incident was confirmed it would be condemned in the strongest terms by the government.

"Even in Islam this [stoning] has to be done through proper judicial systems," he said.

THERE ARE LIBERALS IN THIS COUNTRY WHO STILL THINK WE SHOULD NEGOTIATE WITH THE TALIBAN.

AND THAT ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE.

BOTH POSITIONS ARE WRONG - AND MAKE US LESS SAFE.

A CASE OF FAKE TOMBSTONES FOR SAKE OF LAND GRAB

Israel National News recently reported that there had been another form of land grab tactic attempted by Muslims in Jerusalem:
The Jerusalem Municipality has thus far removed 300 false tombstones that were built in the course of the past few weeks at the Mamilla Muslim cemetery in central Jerusalem. The tombs were built by Muslim elements who took advantage of the fact that the Jerusalem Municipality's Health Department granted them a permit to clean up and fix existing tombstones. Instead of just cleaning graves, however, the Muslims hired workers to try and grab land from the adjoining Independence Park (Gan HaAtzmaut).

After the land-grab hoax was discovered by Arutz Sheva, the Jerusalem Municipality filed a complaint with the police and immediately put a stop to all work at the site. On Monday this week, a court rejected the Muslims' request for a temporary order against the Municipality and granted the Municipality permission to remove the fictitious new tombstones.

Each new tombstone is dismantled only after an expert from the Antiquities Authority inspects it and confirms that it is indeed a new tombstone.

The new tombstones had no graves or human remains beneath them. Plastic bottles, cigarette packs and irrigation pipes were found beneath some of them. Others were built atop a sewage pipe.
Simply disgraceful, and we can only expect more of this for some time to come.

COLOMBIA IS A BETTER PLACE TO INVEST THAN OBAMA'S USA

NYTIMES: Mining and Oil Boom Propel Investment in Colombia
Security gains and capitalist-friendly investment rules are spurring an unprecedented mining and oil boom in Colombia, a pro-business outpost on an increasingly leftist continent.

Investors are deeming Colombia well worth the risk though many parts of the country where reserves are being exploited continue to be plagued by illegal armed groups. Even a car-bombing Thursday in the country's capital just a week into the new administration ''won't be a problem for foreign investment,'' analyst Roberto Melzi of Barclays Capital said.

South America's third-largest oil producer behind Brazil and Venezuela, Colombia is on track to generate more than 1 million barrels of crude a day by 2012 -- double its production in 2006 -- the government says. State-owned Ecopetrol accounts for nearly 90 percent of today's production.

A full 80 percent of the $7.2 billion in direct foreign investment the country reaped last year went to petroleum and mining -- with investment in the latter sector nearly doubling to $3.1 billion.

''Companies are looking for the next big thing -- an unexplored market -- and Colombia has been popping up on the radar,'' said analyst Patrick Esteruelas of Eurasia Group.

By contrast, neighboring Ecuador, the continent's No. 5 oil producer behind Argentina, got a total of $312 million in foreign investment in 2009.

Colombia is so bullish on the foreign investment bonanza flourishing under new President Juan Manuel Santos, a former foreign trade, defense and finance minister, that the government is forecasting a healthy jump in gross domestic product this year -- 4.5 percent.

Colombia's foreign trade ministry says it expects Colombia to attract $10 billion in foreign investment this year, approaching the record $10.6 billion of 2008. The influx has so flooded Colombia with dollars that the U.S. currency has lost 12 percent of its value this year against the Colombia peso.

While Venezuela and Ecuador have alienated many energy investors by rewriting oil contracts -- increasing royalties and taxes so much that many multinationals pulled out -- Colombia's outgoing president, Alvaro Uribe, offered strong incentives.

''Colombia is one of the few countries in Latin America essentially that offers ironclad contractual guarantees over periods of 20 years,'' Esteruelas said.

WE NEED TO HAVE INVESTMENT AND ENERGY INCENTIVES, RULES, REGS AND TAXES MORE LIKE COLOMBIA'S AND LESS LIKE VENEZUELA'S.

OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES WOULD HAVE US BECOME MORE LIKE VENEZUELA.

WE CAN STOP THEM AND REVERSE OBAMA'S LURCH LEFT THIS NOVEMBER: VOTE GOP!

PROOF THAT DENIAL OF BUILDING PERMITS FOR RELIGOUS BUILDINGS IS NOT ABOUT DENYING "RELIGIOUS FREEDOM"

WZ: Obama: No, Wait a Minute. I do Endorse THAT Ground Zero Mosque.

The Great Orator’s oratory is now spinning around like the handle on a shi&house door on this one:

“Just to be clear,”:

At the iftar dinner, Obama cast his vote with the mosque builders. And then he pulled back.

And then he had his spokesman pull back the pullback.

“Just to be clear, the president is not backing off in any way from the comments he made last night,” the White House’s Bill Burton said Saturday.

“It is not his role as president to pass judgment on every local project. But it is his responsibility to stand up for the Constitutional principle of religious freedom and equal treatment for all Americans.

What he said last night, and reaffirmed today, is that if a church, a synagogue or a Hindu temple can be built on a site, you simply cannot deny that right to those who want to build a mosque.”

ARGUING THE MOSQUE MUST BE BUILT BECAUSE DENYING IT IS AN ATTACK ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM - AS OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES ARE ARGUING - IS TFBS.

PROOF:
NONE OF THESE CASES DENIED ANYONE'S FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS; THEY WERE ABOUT ZONING ISSUES.

HOFT: THE GOP GETS IT:
Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) told FOX News Sunday this morning that the victory mosque will be a campaign issue this fall. Barack Obama supports a mosque at Ground Zero along with only 20% of voters.
The Hill reported:

The chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee believes the mosque set to be built near ground zero in New York City will be a campaign issue this fall.

“It demonstrates that Washington, the White House, the administration, the president himself, seems to be disconnected from the mainstream of America,” John Cornyn (Texas), said on Fox News Sunday. “I think that’s one of the reasons why people are so frustrated.”

President Obama on Friday spoke out in favor of the group’s right to build blocks from where the World Trade Center stood. He and the White House later clarified his remarks to indicate that he did not offer support for the “wisdom” behind their decision.

“This is not about freedom of religion,” Cornyn said. “I do think it’s unwise to build a mosque in the site where 3,000 Americans lost their lives as the result of a terrorist attack.”

Voters “sense that they’re being lectured to, not listened to” by Democrats, he said. “The American people will render their verdict.”

WRAPPING UP THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE IN THE CLOAK OF THE 1ST AMENDMENT IS SUBTERFUGE.

DECEITFUL, DHIMMI-ESQUE BS.

TFBS.

THE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE DUPED.

OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES WILL GET THE MESSAGE THIS NOVEMBER!
