        <description>&quot;Of this voyage, I observe,&quot; says the Admiral, &quot;that it has miraculously been shown, as may be understood by this writing, by the many signal miracles that He has shown on the voyage, and for me, who for so great a time was in the court of Your Highnesses with the opposition and against the opinion of so many high personages of your household, who were all against me, alleging this undertaking to be folly, which I hope in Our Lord will be to the greater glory of Christianity, which to some slight extent already has happened.&quot;  --Christopher Columbus (1451 - 1506)</description>

            <title>Fever Swamps Of Corruption</title>
            <description>&quot;From Solyndra to SolarReserve--the level of venality (in the form of crony capitalism) which beleaguers the current administration is beyond revolting. President Obama has descended from a transformative political Messiah to a Beltway thug mired in the fever swamps of corruption.&quot; ---Burgess Redding

            <title>Audacity In Action: The Follower Instructs The Leader</title>
            <description>Sanctions you say? Well, for Ahmadinejad (Ahjad), it&apos;s time for a glowing photo op (which he did just north of Tehran) to let all those diplomatic dreamers out there know: Y&apos;all can drop, &apos;cause I won&apos;t stop!

Tehran has no intentions of ceasing their nuclear nightmare for the infidels...it&apos;s what they live for. So, slapping their wrists and waiting them out will only gain them the time they need to put the finishing touches on their arsenal of abomination.

But try telling that to the Pollyannas at the UN or the current administration...who swear by the same  &apos;successful&apos; policy that worked with North Korea&apos;s nuclear program. 

Obama has been feverishly sending his envoys over to the Jewish State, all but demanding they NOT to do what is necessary for the free world&apos;s survival. Imagine that...the Follower-in-Chief, or the man who leads from behind, is instructing a war hero (Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu) on survival strategy... 

Everything that Barry and his ilk choose to use, including these sanctions, in delaying Israel&apos;s necessary action against Tehran&apos;s tyrannical regime...is turned into time utilized for creating an enormous nuclear nightmare that will first hit Israel, &apos;the Little Satan&apos;...and then &apos;the Great Satan&apos;...that would be us.

And, since Barry has no intention of dealing with this rogue regime...we need to get out of Israel&apos;s way and allow them to do what this White House would never have the testicular fortitude to do: Protect the world from glowing into oblivion...

Because with Ahjad and the Mad Mullahs...more time for THEM, is less time for US.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Operation MEM:
Understanding The Middle East Mindset, Part 2</title>
            <description>&quot;Terrorists know more about America, than America knows about them. These [Terrorists] are people who have lived in America, they have studied America, they know how the media works, they know how the psyche works....they know how we function, so they are more efficient in fighting. We don&apos;t know them and that&apos;s a very big problem. Ignorance is very dangerous now.&quot;
--Marianne Pearl, widow of Daniel Pearl (Journalist beheaded by terrorists)

They know us better than we know ourselves. That&apos;s a dangerous place to be if the &apos;they&apos; are our enemies. And in the case of our current and most accessible enemy, Jihadists...they are.

Since well before the Muslim terror attacks of 9-11, Islamists have been studying us. Our ways, our thoughts, our ideology...and most of all: Our vulnerabilities. 

And those vulnerabilities can easily be exploited if we continue to view their words and deeds through Western values.

Integrity:
We value truthfulness in our agreements with other nations and peoples. But entering into a treaty with those of the Islamic ideology would be a dangerous endeavor for anyone in the West. This due to the fact that integrity is not a shared value with Islamists. They are permitted, and do, lie to infidels in the West for the sake of Islam and Allah. If we were to look at the Israel-Palestinian conflict, we would see proof that the Muslim side, the Palestinian Authority (PA), have not honored one agreement they have made with the &apos;West in the Middle East&apos; or Israel. 

Family Values:
There is a growing population of Islamists who believe it is an honor to send their sons to die for Allah...as they kill infidels. A study done at Monash University in Australia found the pattern is in keeping with studies of Fatah, Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Turkish terrorists, which revealed that about one in five involved individuals were direct kin, while seven in 10 were close friends as youths.

The mother of a suicide bomber said in an interview: &quot;I am a compassionate mother to my children,… Because I love my son, I encouraged him to die a martyr’s death for the sake of Allah... Jihad is a religious obligation incumbent upon us, and we must carry it out. I sacrificed Muhammad as part of my obligation. This is an easy thing.&quot;

A bizarre and disturbing statement that displays the antithesis of Western thought. 

How many think this way:
Various stats have affirmed that only 7-10% of the Muslim world is radical. But with an estimated 1.3 billion following Allah...that would give us about 100-150 million radicals...and growing. The 90-93% that will not behead us, support their brethren in silence. What exacerbates the situation is the high illiteracy rate, coupled with a draconian government with its tentacles enveloping every aspect of the culture with an iron umbilical cord, from the Quran, wrapped around the throat of every citizen: Muslim or Dhimmi (infidel living under Islamic rule). 

It is fair to say, that aside from Israel, a general anti-West mindset is endemic to the Middle East (as well as other Islamic nations). And when the West finally assimilates this, we will be on the road to victory over tyranny...for as Thomas Jefferson once said: 

&quot;Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.&quot;
Shalom through strength...

Understanding The Middle East Mindset, Part 1</title>
            <description>&quot;We are raising in a generation of young Americans who are by and large historically illiterate...it&apos;s a very sad situation.&quot; --author David McCullough 

It&apos;s true that education is not a panacea, as we were able to see with WWII Germany having the highest educated populace in the world at that time, but in a world replete with venal influences...ignorance of those entities is a perilous place to be. 

As America has encountered difficult times in her past and has been struck by outside enemies before 9-11, no attack has revealed the dangerous state of ignorance that now renders us vulnerable beyond being borderless, than Sept. 11th.

Sun Tzu, the great Chinese military strategist once said, &quot;If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.&quot;

Our country has reached this point. We have a population that does not know its history, and is woefully ignorant to the mindset of our ardent enemies. 

This spells disaster any way you look at it.

Knowing the Middle East mindset will enable us to comprehend our foes and to know what to expect from our adversaries in Muslim regimes (and their ilk).

They do NOT think as we do. They are weaned on a festering fare...and the result of that nutrition is NOT benign.  

Individual Choice:
Islam is not simply a religion. It cannot be practiced separate from the culture. It IS the culture, and its iron fist dictates every move a Muslim makes. From what they eat, with what hand they eat...to what hand they use in their lavatory hygiene. There is no individual choice.

But Islam micro-manages much more than that...

Free Will:
It does NOT allow its followers to think for themselves, but dictates every aspect of life...from the demeaning of women and children, treating them as chattel, to the hatred of infidels (unbelievers) simply because they do not believe. Congenial relationships with infidels is forbidden. Freedom for women is unthinkable. 

Compromise:
None, if it involves dealing with infidels. If they agree to compromise, they are practicing Taqiyya (deception). And if the infidel compromises...it is viewed as weakness to be conquered.

And we&apos;re just scratching the surface. Their mindset is based upon the Quran and the Hadith (the traditions of the prophet)...and EVERYONE must submit to these books. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the way, Islam means submission.

To be continued...

Shalom through strength...</description>

            <description>Will the OWS crowd (or the Democrat Party) ever direct its ire at those in the &quot;99%&quot; who fecklessly agreed to home loans they knew they could not afford?

After all--it was this act of fecklessness which greatly contributed to our current economic convulsion.

            <title>The Prepped Do The Propping</title>
            <description>In order for deception to be easily assimilated by a population, there must be a foundation of propaganda, which is defined as organized dissemination of information, allegations, etc, to assist or damage the cause of a government, movement, a people group, etc.

Every population, that has ushered in a tyrant before they were overtaken, had their hearts and minds prepared to welcome the unwelcome. 

The prepped did the propping, of dictators and martinets. 

The German people were prepped for Hitler&apos;s entrance, with hearts already grounded in hate for the Jews. True they still had volition, but the constant, yet subtle, passing comment in the marketplace, at the newsstand, at the dinner table...always seemed to blame the Jews for something, unjustly. And every time they allowed the accusation to pass uncontested...each stone was laid for a seared and fiendish foundation.

This tragic preparation is still effective and at work today. Anti-Semitism was a virulent disease, left untreated in Europe, for decades. And with the rise of anti-Semitism being reported more recently, it&apos;s no wonder that the ghouls of Gaza are able to beguile millions with ease. 

Case in point...recently, a photo allegedly showing an Israeli soldier standing on the chest of a small &apos;Palestinian&apos; girl while pointing his automatic rifle at her face, went viral on social networks like Facebook. Hundreds of thousands of web-surfers saw the picture and with disgust, vocally lashed out at Israel over what they dubbed as &apos;inhumane treatment of even the most innocent of &apos;Palestinian&apos; Arabs&apos;.

There was only one problem: The pic was a FAKE. 

The &apos;soldier&apos; in the photo was not Israeli (he was wearing boots and a coat that are not donned by IDF soldiers), and he was holding a Kalashnikov rifle of the type used by Arab armies, NOT an M16 or M4 rifle, which are used by IDF soldiers.

When the truth came out, few cared. Why? Because the viewers already believed evil of the Israelis and this was just more evidence to confirm their deeply-held hate for the Jew.

Another victory for the vile...and another step toward another Shoah? 

Chas v&apos;shalom! (God forbid!)

Shalom through strength...

            <title>To The Bear: When The Eagle Is Angry, He&apos;s Right</title>
            <description>&quot;Those who get angry are hardly ever right.&quot; 
--Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov 
in response to US pulling Ambassador to Syria
Since the Cold War, the Russian Bear has been growling at the Eagle and his allies because it desires to be the big kahuna...not only in the region, but globally. So their recent veto at the UN Security Council concerning sanctions upon Syria, is no surprise...

It&apos;s just the case of a mama bear protecting its cubs...and in this case, the cubs are Russia&apos;s financial investments...and their ideology.

Russia has longtime commercial, military, and political ties with Syria. Russian investments in Syria in 2009 were valued at $20 billion, primarily in arms deals, energy, infrastructure expansion, and tourism. And in 2010, their exports to Syria totaled $1.1 billion.

“Russia is now a business-oriented country, and the Russian government obviously wants to protect the investments made by its businessmen in Syria...But, the main reason in being so stubborn [blocking UN action against Syria] is because Moscow perceives that the Western bloc is wrecking stability in the Middle East in pursuit of wrong-headed idealistic goals...Western idealism has contributed to chaos in the Middle East, and for once Russian foreign policy is right not to want any part of it,” says ” Yevgeny Satanovsky, president of the independent Institute of Middle Eastern Studies in Moscow.
I have bad news for the &apos;we are the world&apos; fanatics out there: Worldviews are different and when reality runs into the road...it&apos;s not a smooth landing.

When the &apos;brilliance&apos; of communism collapsed in 1991, it never ended Russia&apos;s desire to be a world hegemony. And their economic feasibility trumps truth, justice...and anything right that gets in their way.

The Kremlin considers the US and the West to be &quot;hysterical&quot; in their opposition and interference in Syria because it interferes with Russia&apos;s wallet...and their doomed worldview.

They are not, nor ever have been, concerned with liberty, democracy or the &apos;foolish&apos; ideals of a free people...but rather only with what fits in their iron fist.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>No Such Thing</title>
            <description>February 7, 2012Perhaps it&apos;s time (as a foreign policy issue) for America to adopt the Gingrich position: That there is no such thing as a Palestinian.

By doing so--the US would save billions that have thus far been squandered on a virulent, anti-Semitic horde whose modus operandi is the destruction of a trusted ally.

            <title>Boosting Barbarians</title>
            <description>Most will agree that when you have a history that is less than stellar...you make every effort to distance yourself from it, as far as possible. And in the case of the descendents of the Third Reich...light-years away...

That is what makes their recent behavior quite puzzling.

Germany is considered, under Chancellor Angela Merkel, to be one of Israel&apos;s most loyal allies. This week, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle announced they are upgrading &apos;Palestinian&apos; diplomatic representation in Berlin from a delegation to a mission headed by an ambassador. Now it&apos;s true that France, Spain, Portugal and Ireland have already taken similar actions, and true these countries have dubious histories with Israel, but Germany&apos;s move is more concerning.

Their anti-Semitic history going back to the Hep-Hep Riots of 1819, to their connection with Islam during WWII, Germany should steer clear of any and all traces of their illicit past...and this move to show honor to Israel&apos;s enemies is troubling, at best.

The PA (Palestinian Authority) has displayed paltering in their agreements with Israel, violence and barbaric behavior toward Israeli civilians, and have been the vanguard of hate in the region. 

Is this the team the Heinies want to back?

To the German government: Shouldn&apos;t you be focusing on a true tabula rasa with the Jewish people, rather than mimicking a dog returning to its vomit?

It&apos;s worth a pregnant pause to ponder your process...

Shalom through strength...

            <title>A Good Reason For Israel NOT To Trust Us: Politicos With Verbarrhea</title>
            <description>The ranks of the Dangerous Weenies is growing exponentially today with the addition of yet another politico...

Dictionary.com defines &apos;secret&apos; as: done, made, or conducted without the knowledge of others. That&apos;s precisely what Mossad* chief Tamir Pardo made the mistake of assuming when he paid a visit to D.C. to discuss a possible strike on Iran, this week.

His visit was supposed to be surreptitious...but a Lib politician couldn&apos;t control her pie-hole...

The Chairwoman of the US Senate Intelligence Committee, Dianne Feinstein, infected with the disease, verbarrhea (diarrhea of the mouth), spilled the beans at a committee hearing. BUT...the he hearing was being broadcast LIVE on US television.

Now, being the CHAIRWOMAN of an &apos;intelligence&apos; committee, you would hope she would have known to keep her anterior orifice shut. Which brings me to ask this question...

Did Feinstein intentionally &apos;slip&apos; due to her disdain for the Jewish State (she supports the division of Jerusalem), OR...did she miss too many doses of Aricept?

There really is NO other explanation for such behavior by the head of an Intel board. And at a time as perilous as this...with Iran on the precipice of possessing a nuclear weapon and the &apos;streamlining&apos; of military by an anti-Military president...crazy glue should be the ONLY thing passing Feinstein&apos;s lips.

Allow me to end with this...I want to thank the Left for their generosity. They continue to provide, exclusively, an ever-increasing number of Dangerous Weenies for my list.

Tragically, my list is the only thing not in peril by their actions.

Shalom through strength...

*Mossad - Mossad is short for HaMossad leModi&apos;in uleTafkidim Meyuchadim (Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations). The Mossad is responsible for intelligence collection and covert operations for Israel.

            <title>FAR MORE CONCERNED</title>
            <description>President Obama&apos;s confrontation with Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (over her critical depiction of him in her book Scorpions for Breakfast) further underscores the disquieting reality that Obama is far more concerned about personal criticism than the economy.

            <title>&apos;Checkpoint&apos; Agenda: Tares Tainting The Wheat, Roiling Jew-Hatred</title>
            <description>Soon, Israelis and Jews worldwide will be celebrating Purim...For those of you who forgot the Biblical story...a quick recap: Esther, a beautiful Jewish teenager, becomes queen of Persia. Haman, an ambitious and arrogant bureaucrat, turns his envy of the Jew, Mordecai, into a vendetta against the entire Jewish population of Persia. But His plot to destroy the Jewish people is exposed by the courage of Esther, and Haman is taken away and executed. Mordecai then becomes prime minister and is honored. Esther remains queen. And the Jewish people are spared from extermination.

It&apos;s celebrated with the sounds of greggers (to drown out the name of Haman), Queen Esther Beauty Pageants, and the noshing of hamantaschen.

Yet while the Jewish people are celebrating this victory, a hateful group of faux Christians will be gathering like a gaggle of goons, to attempt to persuade Christian Zionists to join them in their Jew-hatred.

But their efforts will do much more in the region than they may realize or intend...

Bethlehem Bible College is hosting a conference known as, &apos;Christ at the Checkpoint&apos;...with assistance from &apos;Christian&apos; leaders that claim their stance is nonpolitical and &apos;biblical&apos;. A good deal of support (some of the speakers head some of America&apos;s largest churches) support the &apos;Palestinian&apos; struggle for freedom in their &quot;occupied land&quot; (the term &apos;occupied&apos; gives their bias away). One speaker is the author of a book that is forwarded by Haneen Zoabi, an extremist Arab Knesset Member, who in 2010 called for the start of a third terrorist intifada, or uprising, against Israel.

Sounds apolitical to me...

This assembly of evil, cloaked in Christianity, will further stoke the miasma in the region...and sadly, in many eyes, put a stamp of approval on hate against the Jewish State for those too busy to uncover the truth.

Shalom through strength...

            <description>Those who fecklessly believe that the religion of &quot;peace&quot; has been hijacked by a gaggle of radicals (obsessed with decapitation) manifestly have never read the following Koranic verse: “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads.”----Sura 8:12

            <title>Obama: When A Fool Meets Foreign Policy</title>
            <description>Iran, Ahjad and the Strait of Hormuz. Sounds like a children&apos;s fable...but this concerns nothing so benign.

As I recently mentioned, the Strait of Hormuz is where approximately 14 tankers carrying 15.5 million barrels of crude oil pass through daily. This makes it one of the world&apos;s most strategically important channels. 

We know this. The world knows this. And in particular, Iran knows this.

“Austere Challenge 12,” a military exercise that was planned between the US Military and the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) has now been cancelled. Not by Israel but by the Obama administration. It was to be a show of combined strength in response to Iran&apos;s saber-rattling...and according to Obama, it was cancelled in order to avoid an escalation with Iran.

Why that&apos;s up there with the Captain of the Costa Concordia...&quot;yellow is my fave color&quot;...

Let&apos;s get back to basics...you cannot show the Muslim world weakness. It views compromise, tolerance, and second-chances as a vulnerability to be conquered. Our military leaders know this quite well. But this administration is fecklessly and perilously dense in this area. 

And that will adversely affect the free non-Muslim world.

As the Spanish proverb goes, &quot;What a fool does in the end, the wise do in the beginning.&quot; 

If we wait for Obama to do what should&apos;ve been done at the start (show some testicular fortitude)...we&apos;ll soon be the nuclear ash settling on the flea of a camel&apos;s tukis.

And that&apos;s foreign policy that deserves the nuclear option.

Shalom through strength...

            <description>It has just been reported that Russia has signed a $600 million deal to sell the savage autocracy in Syria combat jets.

This disquieting revelation further underscores the utter naivete of President Obama&apos;s &quot;restart&quot; policy concerning the former Soviet Union.

            <title>Israel Knows Something We Forgot: If You Want To Win, Shut Up!</title>
            <description>&quot;If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn&apos;t plan your mission properly.&quot;
                                       - Col. David Hackworth

Israel has a brilliant military, comparable only to our own. Strategically astute, disciplined and diligent in their protection of their people. Yet, they work arduously to prevent collateral damage (the deaths of innocents)...with warnings to civilians well in advance of a defensive attack in a civilian area.

And they do one more thing that ensures a victory when dealing with their enemies: They shut up!

That&apos;s right, they keep their lips zipped concerning their military movements. Something our civilian leaders are apparently too dense to comprehend. If you announce, to the press, when and where you will carry out an operation, chances are good that your adversary will learn of your plans, be there before you...and arrange a welcoming committee!

For this reason, I guffawed when the AP reported that Israel’s defense minister, Ehud Barak, said his country is “very far off” from choosing whether to launch a military strike on Iran’s nuclear program. He wouldn&apos;t designate when a decision might be made.

Now, did the AP really think the Israelis were going to let them take a look at their playbook? Perhaps they did, since our Commander-in-Chief is taken with episodes of verbosity concerning our military plans.

But alas and alack...their hopes were dashed.

A teachable moment for our leaders: Analyze, galvanize, strategize...then shut your mouth and open your eyes and give the enemy a big surprise. In other words: Israelize!

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Mr. Peanut&apos;s Nutty Adventure</title>
            <description>&quot;I will say today that they have pledged to me and to the world that they will take an objective view, the Muslim Brotherhood, and that they will govern as one of the major parties in the new parliament in a balanced way and respect the human rights of others who might have a different approach to religions.&quot; Jimmy Carter, former U.S. President on Al Jazeera English

It&apos;s sad when public figures display symptoms of mental illness...and sadder still when it&apos;s a former US President. But when one is blatant in his display and is encouraged by his peers, it can be perilous for those who are affected by it.

The Mayo Clinic defines Depersonalization Disorder as persistently or repeatedly having a sense that things around you aren&apos;t real. Feelings of depersonalization can be very disturbing and may feel like you&apos;re losing your grip on reality or living in a dream. 

Poor Jimmy Dhimmi...the old goober is losing it quickly...

The opening quote was stated on Jimmy&apos;s recent adventure to Egypt, after a cup of tea with the MB. Perhaps he&apos;s been living in a cave, like his admirers...and is unaware of the Muslim Brotherhood&apos;s (MB) background and declarations. In case he missed these poignant facts, let&apos;s help him check a look at a few of them:
Established in 1902 by Ibn Saud and with the revival of Wahhabism (extremist and purest form of Islam). Saud created Wahhabi indoctrination centers (Ikhwan, meaning brotherhoods). 
The discovery of Saudi oil reserves in 1920 eventually became the bank for today&apos;s jihad.
In 1928, the MB was established in Egypt by Hassan El Banna (who worked along with Hitler).
The MB is built upon Wahhabi foundations. 
Amin Al-Husseini (Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during the Nazi reign of terror) became a prominent member of MB. Al-Husseini was an architect, with Hitler, of the &apos;Final Solution&apos; for the Jews.
In 1948, Egyptian-born Yasser Arafat became a member of the MB. He worked under Al-Husseini from the age 17. He popularized the hijacking of airliners.
In 1978, the first offspring of MB, Jihad Islami, was founded in Egypt, in response to the Camp David Agreement. Group&apos;s goal is to restore Islamic Wahhabi autocracy in Egypt.
In 1987, Hamas was founded in Gaza...the offspring of the MB.
First and Second Intifadas (1987-2002) were instigated by Hamas.
In 1988, Saudi-born Osama Bin Laden strengthened his ties with Al-Zahawiri of Jihad Islami. He created Al Qaeda, a strongly anti-Western network of ex-Mujahedeen. Al Qaeda means ‘the Base&apos;.
They have branches in 70 countries (including the US). 
They have been responsible for murdering over 10 million people in half a century.
In Feb. 2012, Muhammad Ghannem, a leading member of the MB in Egypt, told the Arabic-language Iranian news network Al-Alam: &quot;The people should be prepared for war against Israel. The Egyptian people are prepared for anything to get rid of this regime.&quot; 
MB deputy leader Dr. Rashad Bayoumi began 2012 with a confrontational interview published in the Arabic daily al-Hayat, where he insisted that MB will not recognize Israel “under any circumstance.” Bayoumi continued that “we do not recognize Israel at all. [Israel is] an occupying criminal enemy.”
MB Motto: &quot;Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur&apos;an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.&quot;
These are simply a few facts that Jimmy appears to have &apos;missed&apos; in his assessment of the MB. Not to mention the fact that the MB abides by/promotes Sharia Law and also subscribes to the doctrine of Taqiyya, in which a Muslim can lie to infidels (like Jimbo) for the sake of Islam.

Perhaps Hamas has dropped him from their payroll and he&apos;s going to the source? Or perhaps he failed to get on the X Factor and is looking for a spotlight anywhere? Or maybe he should be on SSRIs to treat his Depersonalization Disorder ASAP? 

Whatever the reason, I believe it&apos;s well past time for this dangerous weenie to grab his cane and monocle and shuffle on back to the goober factory...before some elephant accidentally mistakes him for the groundnut and tries to crack his shell.  

Shalom through strength...

Why? Because the Muslim world&apos;s profound hatred for the &quot;Great Satan&quot; existed long before the first Semper Fi schlong was ever whipped out.

            <title>Obama: The Pierre Laval To The Muslim World?</title>
            <description>Most of the discussion, which the mainstream media has been unable to control or suppress, has been about the insurmountable debt and the double digit (in most areas) unemployment rate. But all that pales in comparison to the ever-increasing volatility of our national security. 

Many, including myself, have considered the President, and his super-genius VP, to be clueless on foreign affairs. But my recent research into WWII has caused me to change my perspective on Barry Obama&apos;s foreign policy acumen...

Adolf and his malevolent minions had a great deal of assistance in their machinations. From dangerous weenie appeasers like Neville Chamberlain...to fascist fiends like Benito Mussolini, self-serving politicos agreed with Der Fuehrer to gain their little kingdoms. One, in particular, was found to be a traitor and executed for his aid to the enemy: Pierre Laval, head of the Vichy government.

Laval was responsible for deporting thousands of foreign Jews to the Death Camps for Hitler, in order to keep his little kingdom. He also dealt harshly with the French Resistance, by allowing the Gestapo to hunt them down.

He chose, in his megalomaniacal search for significance, to be human waste...and he accomplished that goal.

Fast forward to 2012...

We have a Commander-in-Chief that has bowed to our enemies, dissed our friends, and enabled maniacal monsters like the Muslim Brotherhood...and most in the Muslim world (Arab Street), to believe we are paper tigers, weak and conquerable.

Well, if Mr. Obama was as astute as his sycophants swear he is, then shouldn&apos;t he KNOW that reaching out to a terrorist organization sends the Muslim world the wrong message for our national security?

Is he a modern-day Laval, assisting those whose goal is to convert, enslave or eliminate us? Or is he as dumb as a stump? 

Either way, he has proven, unequivocally, to be unfit to serve the people of this great Republic.

John Wayne was correct when he said, &quot;Life is hard; it&apos;s harder if you&apos;re stupid.&quot; Yes harder for US, when the leader of the free world is the stupid one.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Is Iran Auditioning For Davy Jones Locker?</title>
            <description>So they (Iran) are saber rattling in the Strait of Hormuz...where about 14 tankers carrying 15.5 million barrels of crude oil pass through daily, which makes it one of the world&apos;s most strategically important channels. 

But do the maniacal Mullahs of the Islamic Regime of Iran know that?

You betcha...and they are counting on the cowardice displayed by the Obama administration to taint Israel into cowering as well...but they appear to be in for a big surprise...

Several weeks ago, Commander of the Third Air Force of the U.S. Military, Lt. Gen. Frank Gorenc, arrived in Israel to prep for a joint training exercise. A major missile defense exercise, “the biggest one ever” according to military sources. “Austere Challenge 12” drill is designed to improve defense systems and collaboration between the U.S. and Israeli forces.

Look at that...the two &apos;Satans&apos; are teaming up. (According to Ahjad and the Mullahs, the US is the &apos;Great Satan&apos; and Israel is the &apos;Little Satan&apos;.)

Will we jointly (or even as a supporting party) strike Iran&apos;s nuclear facilities? 

We (and Israel) clearly have no choice. What the West is dealing with is deranged religious zealots who have no qualms about launching a nuclear assault on innocents because they believe it will usher in a twisted 12th Imam or Mahdi...who will lead all Muslims and convert or kill all infidels.

And unlike the Nazis or the former Soviets: They don&apos;t mind dying to bring it all to pass.

A caveat to the Mullahs: Keep up your Naval exercises in the Strait, and we might take it as an audition for Davy Jones&apos; Locker...and happily accommodate.

            <title>Obama: Doing More TO Israel, Than FOR Israel</title>
            <description>NY Magazine, in a tinfoil hat moment, dubbed him the first Jewish president. It&apos;s as loony as Nobel prizewinner Toni Morrison, calling Bill Clinton “our first black president.

But considering Barack Obama a Jewish kindred spirit is beyond loony...it&apos;s like calling David Duke a Christian...

From his years in a &apos;church&apos; that followed Black Liberation Theology and reprinted the Hamas Manifesto the year before his election...to his long-term relationship with the anti-Semitic Jeremiah Wright (a long time critic of Israel &amp; Zionism)...to his ties to/relationship with Rashid Khalidi and the Arab American Action Network...

Obama has made it unequivocal on what side of the Israeli security fence he has chosen to stay...and it doesn&apos;t don a Magen David.

But, in case you are of the ilk that chooses, despite the empirical evidence, to believe that Barry has changed (because you have a fondness for the word change)...allow me to lay some proof of his recent disdain, on you...
He chose the leader of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated group (ISNA, an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror funding case) to recite a prayer during his January 2009 inauguration.
His first call to a foreign leader was to Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas.
His foreign policy have been very much aligned with the recommendations of Robert Malley, Mideast Director of the International Crisis Group (ICG). Malley has written a plethora of op-eds condemning Israel, absolving Palestinians and urging the U.S. to disengage from Israel.
He chose Cairo to give his first speech to the Muslim world...a country that rhapsodized the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem...the mastermind behind Hitler&apos;s Final Solution. 
Not to mention how abominably he treated Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu, personally (dissing him upon his first and second visit to DC), and through Biden and Hillary (and more recently Panetta). 

So, any of my Jewish brethren that will, in light of this tip of the iceberg of info, STILL cast a vote for Barry: Hasn&apos;t WWII taught you anything?

We don&apos;t need another crew of Kapos.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Sadly</title>
            <description>The term &quot;radical Islam&quot; is a politically correct expression designed to obfuscate the historical fact that Muhammad was the most violent figure of the 7th century.

Sadly--all the conservative candidates vying for the Republican nomination have used this term when discussing 9/11.

            <title>What America Cannot Afford In 2012: Another Anti-Israel Prez</title>
            <description>It&apos;s here...election year...and after the economic and foreign affairs hit-job performed by the current occupant of the White House: Our votes have NEVER been more critical.

From Gaza to Iran and from Egypt to Turkey, Israel&apos;s enemies are on the rise and, as Franklin Graham has said, &quot;...they will line up against Israel and we will see another round of wars like we saw in &apos;67 and later in &apos;73.&quot;

Graham is spot on...and much of this uniting of Islamists can be laid on Obama&apos;s head. He is, without exception (and in opposition to NY Magazine&apos;s delusion), the first anti-Israel president in US history (including Carter, an enemy of the Jewish State, but was not so blatant while in office).

Why does this matter? Because Israel is the West in the Middle East. Perception is everything in the Mohammedan&apos;s mind. And Barry has given our enemies (and Israel&apos;s) the unequivocal message that we are weak &apos;infidels&apos;, able to be conquered and that we have abandoned our only true friend in the region. 

This imperils Israel. This imperils us.

Much damage has been done by the Nimrod-in-Chief. But it&apos;s not too late to adjust the perception of our enemies. We have a long history of support for the tiny Jewish State. The majority of the American people, led by evangelical Christians, are the most devoted advocates of Israel and must now exhibit that advocacy by insuring that we never again place an individual at the helm of our great nation, that has a deeply rooted disdain for the Jewish State.

Most of those in the GOP field have already made their allegiances known. For Israel: Gingrich, Santorum, Bachmann, Perry,  Romney (marginally due to his ignorance of Islam), and Huntsman. Against Israel: Ron Paul.

Please choose wisely.

Shalom through strength...

            <description>Political Correctness has obfuscated the following fact: From 1890-1922 the Turkish government (in the name of Allah) slaughtered 2.5 million Christians.

It&apos;s time to shed PC--and tell the truth about Islam&apos;s nefarious function in history.

            <title>By Working His A** Off</title>
            <description>When Republicans like Rep. Eric Cantor use the phrase &quot;tax cuts for working-class Americans&quot; he plays into the (spurious) liberal narrative that only the middle-class actually works.

Now, correct me if I&apos;m wrong but--didn&apos;t Bill Gates become the world&apos;s richest man by working his ass off?

It&apos;s time for GOP leaders to stop feeding the ravenous class-warfare machine.

            <title>Hariri: Warning From A Weenie</title>
            <description>Don&apos;t you just love how the craven seem to attempt to regain their virility long after their cowardly behavior has put everyone in peril?

One such miniscule male is former PM of Lebanon, Saad Hariri. This apple fell miles from its tree. His dad, Rafik Hariri, gave his life for his stand for his nation. Rafik attempted to save Lebanon&apos;s sovereignty from Iran&apos;s stronghold by Hezbollah. He fought Iran&apos;s venal toddies and died for that stand (he was assassinated by Hezbollah). Then his son Saad brought disgrace on his father&apos;s memory by handing the reigns of the country over to his father&apos;s murderers.

Saad stepped down as PM following pressure from Hezbollah. Iran&apos;s barbarians, fed by Syria...have slowly but surely, swallowed the Lebanese government...with the aid of invertebrates like Hariri. 

And the coward arises...

After handing the majority of the Lebanese government over to the terror group Hezbollah, Hariri accused that government of being &quot;in a coma&quot; after rockets fell in south Lebanon (they targeted a French UNIFIL [The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon] patrol, where 5 peacekeepers and 2 civilians were hurt). He &apos;warned&apos; that the south of the country shouldn&apos;t be used “as a platform to settle regional and international scores.”

Who committed the acts? Well, it was intended to scare the peacekeepers away from the southern border so Hezbollah can prep and launch the next Lebanon War with Israel. So, let me see...hmm...could it be Syria backed by its Puppet Master Iran? A serious no-brainer... 

But back to Saad the skulker...

His voice should be ignored. The moment he abdicated his position of leadership to a group of Islamist fiends, was the day his voice of influence should be heard no more. He went from leader to loser in one step. A step down...and he continues in that direction.

Enablers of evil deserve to be disregarded. Hariri is simply that. Time to turn off his mic.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>More Insidious</title>
            <description>With the most recent election results indicating that Islamo-thugs are now taking over Egypt--the media&apos;s romanticizing of Islam seems even more insidious.

            <title>Egyptian Voters: Complicit In Their Own Demise?</title>
            <description>When the Egyptian protests began in January of this year, the world media...with the US major media in the vanguard...dispersed reports that the Egyptians wanted democracy.

But for those of us that understand the nature of Islam and actually heard random interviews in the crowd of protesters: The reports were grossly erroneous and misleading and the election results and current Islamist milieu in Egypt confirms that reality.

The Egyptians were well aware of what made the Muslim Brotherhood tick: Sharia. And that was just fine with them. Even the women, who are subject to cruel treatment by men, under Sharia, stood in long lines in the rain to vote. The result was a 60% Islamist majority (40% Muslim Brotherhood and 20% Islamist Salafist). 

That means Sharia Law is on the way... 

The only people in &apos;The Gift of the Nile&apos; that truly desire freedom are the Coptic Christians and the Jews (whose numbers are dwindling as you read this). The Copts make up 10% of the population, while there are only 100 Jews left and they reside in Cairo. Their Judeo-Christian principles are the foundation of free societies...NOT Islam. And therefore, these minorities have been and ARE being persecuted vehemently. And with the newly elected Islamist leadership, there is little hope that they will remain, if they survive.

In every nation that treasures liberty, only Judeo-Christian principles can be the foundation. There is no room for freedom or individual rights in a Quran-based society crushed by Sharia Law.

Was the Egyptian vote tantamount to hiring a hit on the Land of the Pharaohs? Well, if electing a brood of barbaric, misogynistic, intolerant jihadists isn&apos;t a clue...I don&apos;t know what is.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>The Gospel Trail: Only Israel Would Be So Gracious</title>
            <description>They know who their friends really are...and they don&apos;t forget it.

Evangelical Christian support for the State of Israel is the largest non-Jewish entity in the world. Almost 2 million of the 3 million tourists that visit Israel every year, are Christian.

And Israel knows how to show their appreciation... 

This week, the Israel Tourism Ministry (via the Israel Government Tourist Corporation) and the Jewish National Fund unveiled the Gospel Trail. A 40-mile long pilgrimage route and biking path linking most of the major sites of Jesus’ ministry in the Galilee from Nazareth to Capernaum. The cost was 3 million and took 3 years to develop.

The Gospel Trail is a nod to Christian tourists, who have outnumbered Jewish tourists to the Holy Land in recent years. The trail traces the footsteps of Jesus. It begins at Mount Precipice on the periphery of Nazareth in lower Galilee, the track winds eastward to include Tabgha, the traditional site of Jesus’ miracle of the loaves and fishes, and the Mount of Beatitudes, where he delivered his Sermon on the Mount. It concludes at Capernaum on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus taught for 3 years.

The trail is peppered with New Testament quotes in English, Hebrew and Arabic engraved into basalt boulders, and includes shaded rest areas and picnic spots.

By extending itself to Christians worldwide, Israel has not diminished its Jewish roots but rather endeared more and more Christians to the Holy Land by this act. An act that exemplifies the Jewish Roots of Christianity...

Only Israel would be so gracious.

This is yet another example that has acted like a magnifying glass on the Muslim world...because it is something that cannot be said of Islam (whose foundation has suffered from root-rot from it&apos;s inception). An ideology which is a rip-off of Judaism and Christianity...with a little paganism, perversion and misogyny mixed in. They just left out the Judeo-Christian principles of love, mercy and forgiveness.

The Jewish people, yet again, prove that the principles of the G-d of Israel...will always win hearts and minds.

Shalom through strength...

What we all need to know is that Halal food is prepared according to the dictums of a law that is violently antithetical to our Constitution--Sharia.

            <title>Egypt&apos;s Sharia Gov&apos;t: Bad Moon Rising</title>
            <description>aveat after caveat was given by analyst after analyst...but to no avail. The Muslim Brotherhood was looking for a way to parlay the riots that occurred in Egypt, to their advantage. And the results of the first in a three-phase election scheduled to last until early January, have confirmed that...

Egypt will be the next Islamic State.

The Egyptian people chose 40-45% Muslim Brotherhood, who wants Sharia Law as the Law of the land, and 20% of the vote was taken by the Islamist Salafist party, who also wants Sharia.

That means 65% of the Egyptian government will be terrorist and in control, and the probability of the draconian fist of Islam coming down on Egyptians is guaranteed. 
The suppression and abuse of women: Guaranteed.
The abuse of children: Guaranteed.
The persecution of Coptic Christians to rise to historic proportions: Guaranteed.
The planned destruction of the Jewish State: Guaranteed.
It&apos;s true that Mubarak was a dictator. But he was tolerable. He kept the agreement he made with Israel. But that&apos;s all a pleasant memory now...

The prospect of another neighbor whose government&apos;s goal is to murder innocent Jews and Christians, is a nightmare scenario. It&apos;s one that Israel has not had to deal with, on that border, for some time.

The emergence of the star and crescent moon, in any country, is always a bad sign because the ideology it represents is barbaric. But the emergence of this star and crescent is surely a bad moon rising.

            <title>The Terror Tax Transfer</title>
            <description>By now, unless one is living under a rock...or has the IQ of one...it&apos;s unequivocal that, along with their ilk, the Palestinian Authority (PA) is on a mission. They are not surreptitious about their ambition: Destroy the State of Israel. 

They state this in their charters. And have never reneged on that goal. They began this particular campaign, with their Arab/Muslim brethren, the very DAY Israel rebirthed as a nation: May 14, 1948. Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq didn&apos;t come with an ordinary welcome wagon...it had a fuse.

Nothing has changed, since that time, except...the list of bloodthirsty enemies has grown and become well-financed and organized. With the help of degenerate monsters like Yasser Arafat, when he wasn&apos;t lining his pockets with money extorted from Western nations...he was brainwashing the young, arming them...and aiming them at innocent Israelis.

The constant venal bombardment of &apos;education&apos; to hate the Jewish nation and people, and the arming of the militant terror groups splintered-off from the PA government (Hamas-Fatah) must be well-funded. And sadly, it is...

Israel has collected tax revenue for the PA, and today that amounts to $100M/month...to enable it to run as a government. But, their murderous behavior and acts have forced Israel...on several occasions...to withhold those dollars from the PA. The most recent incident was the PA&apos;s unilateral demand for recognition of statehood, and UNESCO inviting them in as a member. 

The tax revenues were frozen. 

Now, Israel, yet again...is extending an olive branch to the PA to hopefully resume relations with the terrorist government. Israel is releasing the revenues.

Good idea? Nope...

Tragic idea. Those funds will assuredly be used to continue the terror campaign upon innocent and peace-loving Israelis. Unless the funds come with a tracking device to insure proper use, the violence will not cease, because the PA&apos;s modus operandi is enduring...just like Sheol.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Occupied: To Be Used On Bathrooms, Only</title>
            <description>Occupied. A funny term. It usually comes to mind when you&apos;ve drank too much on an airplane and need to visit that tiny closet with blue water. When you need it the most, what is it? OCCUPIED.

But there&apos;s become an axiomatic use of the term, when it comes to politics and the Middle East, that needs to be clarified...because it&apos;s interminable...the use of the word &apos;occupied&apos; concerning Israel in her own land. Jew-haters, liberals and their ilk continue to delegitimize the Jewish State and its right to the land. Jews are commonly referred to as &apos;occupiers&apos; building &apos;illegal&apos; settlements. But is this position true? 

Let&apos;s settle this semantical subterfuge...

Merriam-Webster defines occupied as: To take possession and control of (a place), as by military invasion. That, of course, would not apply if one already owns a piece of land and is protecting its sovereignty. 

Which is the case with the Jewish people and the Holy Land. Consider these facts:
The Jewish people are indigenous to Israel and have maintained a presence in the land for over 3,000 years, demonstrated by a plethora of historical and archeological evidence. So, &apos;occupying&apos; your OWN land is, well, an impossibility. Lord Balfour (Balfour Declaration 1917) recognized Israel&apos;s claim to their homeland (which included the West and East banks of the Jordan River).
In 1967, there was NO Arab state known as Palestine. Israel took over the West Bank in a defensive act against Jordan, when Jordan launched a war with Egypt and Syria to destroy Israel. Jordan was in the West Bank illegally since its prior attempt to destroy Israel...in 1948. No one, including the other Arab states, recognized Jordan&apos;s occupation of the West Bank.
UN Resolution 181 recommended a 2-state solution. One Arab and one Jewish. The Jews agreed and began a State. The Arabs refused and launched a war on the newly created State of Israel. Resolution 181 was a &apos;recommendation&apos; and had NO legal standing.
An armistice line was formed in 1949, BUT had no political significance whatsoever. THIS is the line referred to as &apos;1967 borders&apos;...which is erroneous. It is NEITHER a border NOR was it formed in 1967.
Israel has a legal right to the land. Its presence in the West Bank is the result of defensive acts. The West Bank was annexed by Trans-Jordan illegally and used to destroy the nascent State. And since the West Bank had no legal sovereign...it cannot be occupied, but rather disputed.

Occupied, concerning Jews and the Jewish State, should clearly be retired from use. It is provocative and meant to incite hatred toward the Jews...as Arab States have made a practice for centuries.

Occupied is a political term....and in this case, it is NOT correct. So, as Israel&apos;s Deputy MFA, Danny Ayalon, so aptly puts it: &quot;So please, let&apos;s stop using &apos;occupied territories&apos; and &apos;67 borders&apos;...they&apos;re just not &apos;politically correct&apos;.&quot;

Let&apos;s leave it for the bathroom door.

Shalom through strength...

Yasser&apos;s personal fortune was estimated at between $2 and $3 billion, most of which was in Swiss bank accounts. He would have been worth a lot more if he hadn&apos;t fallen on hard times in exile (1982-1993), when Arafat was worth up to $5 billion, mostly due to drug trafficking in Lebanon.

This is the fiend that Peres called a &quot;Partner for Peace&quot;...an obvious perception problem.

So back to Suha...well the greedy little pretend wife of the grandfather of modern terrorism (and a pedophile), was just not satisfied with the mass of money robbed from the PA...she robbed a few million herself. She&apos;s on the run from the authorities...

Nope, not a rumor...it&apos;s reality. Tunisia issued an international arrest warrant for Suha, who is wanted for purportedly absconding with Tunisian government and PA funds that were intended to be used to build a school.

And you&apos;ll love this...she was interviewed, before the warrant was issued, concerning some of the stolen money which had been used to build a playground for her and Yasser&apos;s daughter, Zahwa. “After 50 years of working for Palestine, does Arafat not deserve to have a playground for his daughter? He didn&apos;t buy jewelry or build factories for her. All he did was build a little playground in Tunisia,&quot; she remarked.

Really? Is that all the filthy terrorist/embezzler did? He looted the lowly, not to lavish hag and arm his minions to kill innocent Jewish civilians...but to build an ity bity pwaygwound? With other people&apos;s money (sounds like a Lib)?

The only schmuck buying that is on the run from Tunisian authorities...and I&apos;m thinking her couture alone will slow her down.

Shalom through strength...

            <description>The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) is a vociferous supporter of Occupy Wall Street. This might seem just a wee bit disingenuous considering that the union&apos;s President Randi Weingarten made well over a half a million dollars in 2010.

That, of course--makes her a 1 percenter. But, hey--who&apos;s counting?

            <title>Disaster: Forgetting Who We Are and Missing Who They Are</title>
            <description>&quot;So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss. 

&quot;If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.

&quot;If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.&quot;   
                                       ~Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Let me ask you a question: Who proposed the resolution to create the various Cabinet positions within the Executive Branch of our government and twelve amendments to the Constitution of which ten became the Bill of Rights? Who organized the first volunteer fire company in 1736, called the Union Fire Company?

Stumped? Most Americans would be...(James Madison &amp; Ben Franklin)

As we move closer to the end of 2011, one of the most tragic realities is that Americans are forgetting where they came from. Assaulted by the mantra of multiculturalists, the absence of truth and facts in the classroom, Americans are being placed in a perilous position for the future of the greatest nation on earth.

What makes our situation vastly vulnerable is the fact that we also do NOT know or understand who our most aggressive enemy is (followers of Islam). And that actuality may very well cost us our freedoms...and eventually our lives.

There is a major difference between Middle East Muslim society and Western Judeo-Christian society. Muslims, as individuals and communally, are profoundly religious, with their faith being rooted firmly in the Quran and Sharia Law. Most Muslims perform their religious duties (the five pillars of Islam). Unlike the liberty found in a Judeo-Christian society,  there is no widespread secular phenomenon...Sharia assures complete obedience to the Quran so there is no room for secularism...or separation of Mosque and State.

This distinction cannot be overlooked. Their mindset is at odds with the West in every meaningful way. To overlook this is to do so at our own peril.

And this is precisely what our leaders and the media are doing.

But hope is not lost. There is unprecedented access to information and global resources from authorities on this ideology. And there&apos;s always the opportunity to research our founding documents (and the sage men who created them)...and still pass this info on to another generation.

Acting post haste is not optional if we are to prevent the hordes of liberty-loathers drooling at the thought of imprisoning us under their draconian dictates. 

Some simple steps for maintaining our freedoms, that we so treasure:
Educate ourselves on OUR OWN history.
Educate ourselves on the ideology of Islam.
Inform the ill-informed media of the facts (something they care little about, as of late).
Share this info with candidates who are requesting our support in the next election.

And if elected, tell your representatives to be sure to insert their spine prior to taking office...they have to stand up for US, not vice versa.

Know ourselves. Know our enemy. It&apos;s been a winning strategy for centuries...no reason to abandon it now.

Shalom through strength...

            <description>The Palestinian Authority&apos;s bid for statehood explicitly contravenes Article 4 of the Charter of the United Nations which declares that any applicant must have decided government control. Lest the dimwits at Turtle Bay forget: Hamas governs over 40% of the Palestinian population.

            <title>Obama/Sarkozy Incident: The De-Evolution Of Journalism</title>
            <description>&quot;Journalism consists largely in saying &quot;Lord Jones died&quot; to people who never knew Lord Jones was alive.&quot; --G. K. Chesterton


According to the International Federation of Journalists, journalistic codes of ethics share common elements including the principles of: Truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness and public accountability...as these apply to obtaining newsworthy information and its ensuing propagation to the public.

In other words: Tell it like it IS, not how you&apos;d like it to be!

Yet in our lifetime...we have observed the corruption of what was once a noble profession. And no more discouraging example than what occurred at the recent G20 meeting.

The proud-to-be left-leaning media have been relentless in its persecution of GOP members when they made careless mistakes. BUT, if you happen to be one of their crew, like Barry Obama...you get an unequivocal pass. He has, in a brief time, racked up quite a plethora of gaffes, including: &apos;visiting 57 (US) States&apos;; as Commander-in-Chief pronouncing Corpsman as &quot;Corpse-man&quot; several times in a speech, etc.

But his backbiting remark about the PM of the Jewish State, got more than a pass...it got a commitment of nondisclosure...

The incident involved Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy having what they thought was a private conversation regarding their mutual dislike of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The &apos;unbiased&apos; media members present agreed to sign a document promising not to publish the derogatory comments. &quot;There were discussions between journalists and they agreed not to publish the comments due to the sensitivity of the issue,&quot; an anonymous journalist told the French website, Arret Sur Images.

Really? Why not share the info? Wasn&apos;t it news...or was it precisely how they themselves felt about the Israeli PM and they were feeling a wee bit convicted.

What a sad and tragic day when it&apos;s finally realized that true journalism...the reporting of facts as they occur...is revised to fit the predilections of amateur amanuenses.

Vive les faits (long live the facts)!!

            <title>Israel: War-Ready Since 1948</title>
            <description>&quot;To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.&quot;  --George Washington 

Shalom, or peace through strength is a long-time position of wisdom. It is a state of mind that accepts the reality that there is evil in this world, determined to destroy innocents. And the only way to protect innocent civilians is to be ready for war...at ALL times.

Former President Ronald Reagan knew this well. A man whose sage pillars of national security policy were (as Peter Huessy puts it): &quot;Peace through strength;&quot; &quot;Trust but verify; and &quot;Beware of evil in the modern world.&quot;

There is one State that knows these principles well...and have had to cling to them since the rebirth of their nation: Israel. 

This tiny nation is surrounded by tens of thousands of hostiles on every side. Aside from the daily onslaught of terror attacks (which few are aware of because the Israelis are no whiners), Israel has contended with major Arab assaults in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1968, and 1973. And, by the way, those major conflicts had nothing to do with the &apos;Palestinians&apos;.

They are surrounded by hate by Lebanon (now surrendered to Hezbollah [or Iran]) and Syria (puppet state of Iran) in the North. Jordan in the East (no friend of Israel). And Egypt on the southern border, now heavily-influenced by Hezbollah (which means Iran has its tentacles wrapped around it). 

But wait...there&apos;s more...Iran, clinging to their nuclear program like white on rice, has made it unequivocal that Israel is the first target. And with all the enabler-states now surrounding the Jewish State...if allowed, they will finish Muhammad&apos;s and Hitler&apos;s job with the push of a button. 

The majority of the American people are standing with Israel, and will continue to do so: No matter what. But, as far as the current US administration is concerned: They expect Israel to remain sitting ducks for the manifest promises of the maniacal Mullahs.

Sorry to disappoint, Barry, but Israel has the right to protect its citizens from Iranian weapons of mass destruction. And his support of their defensive mode should be a no-brainer...but that would require active gray matter.

Alas and alack...

And so it continues...and Jeshurun will thrive and survive, because they will remain war-ready!

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Albany Gets Something Right, So It&apos;s A Cold Day In Hell</title>
            <description>Few good things have ever come out of the cesspool located at Empire State Plaza. Oh, the representatives look dapper, but what often goes on at that geographic location would raise eyebrows in the Court of Caligula. 

Until today...

The GOP and the Dems have joined together in something other than the scandal-of-the-week...a noble effort that should be an example for every State in the Union (wow, as a NYer, it&apos;s almost surreal stating that). 

State Senate leader Dean Skelos (R) will co-sponsor the Iran Divestment Act with Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D). The Bill is based on a federal law passed last year that empowers states/local governments to divest from companies that directly or indirectly support Iran&apos;s nuclear weapons endeavors.

What I want to know is: Who brought the smelling salts to Albany? Give that man a Klondike Bar!!

Skelos said that New Yorkers must condemn tyrannical governments, like Iran, that sponsor terrorism and have tried to develop nuclear weapons, and threaten Israel.

True, but our exprobation of a Terror State like Iran must be acute...because next to al Qaeda, Iran has killed more Americans than any other Islamic entity. 

But I will give credit where credit is due. Skelos and Silver (eww, that name leaves a bad taste in my mouth) deserve kudos for this effort. It&apos;s sad that this should be among the paucity of magnanimous items that have ever emanated out of NY&apos;s capital.

I&apos;m still waiting for the NY GOP (which is a mere shadow of what it was when my parents were alive and young) to have the testicular fortitude to condemn the behavior of the anarchists in Zuccotti Park. But I guess there is an excuse...

The effluvium emanating out of lower Manhattan surely has reminded them of the miasma they have either created and/or continue in the NY State capital. 

It&apos;s a shame there is no such thing as a vertebral column transplant...I have a few candidates...

            <title>Denouncing The Defensible, Ignoring The Indefensible</title>
            <description>It&apos;s become a habit. A BAD habit. A habit of the blind in the West. The conscious or unconscious Arab-tilt in their view of the Middle East...in particular...the Holy Land. And what they do is not only foolish and feckless...but for Israel: Pernicious.

Israel functions in an interminable defensive mode. She is surrounded by enemies on every border (and even more so, since the &apos;Arab Spring&apos;). The targeted attacks that the IDF conducts are on terror cells. Period. They are performed in order to prevent future terror attacks on innocent Israeli civilians.  

This is NOT the case with their enemies...

Israel&apos;s enemies intentionally target innocent Jewish civilians. They attack with intent to kill. Israel responds not in-kind, but rather seeks out the perpetrators and destroys their ability to kill again. 

But is this the way the situation is reported in the West? Not so much...at all...

Since Israel pulled out of Gaza in order to allow the Palestinians a chance out of nation-building, innocent Israeli&apos;s have been targeted by Palestinian Islamic militant groups tens of thousands of times. These attacks have been perpetrated by ALL Palestinian armed groups, and, prior to the 2008–2009 Gaza War, were unswervingly supported by most Palestinians citizens.

You&apos;ve heard about that from the media, right? Not likely...

BUT, what you HAVE heard is how the heartless IDF has pummeled and killed Palestinian civilians...lies, wrapped in falsehoods, wrapped in mendacities.

A &apos;gift&apos; and talent you find in the digits of Islamists and liberal media outlets that report the news.

So, governments and world citizens believe the slant...and condemn the defensive acts of a nation (Israel) striving to exist, while simultaneously defending (by omission) the barbaric acts of a people--and their representatives (Hamas is a duly elected majority of the Palestinian government).

Convoluted, indeed...but insidious because it endangers Israelis and Jews globally, as a result.

People must decide what it is they want. Truth or the consequences of believing lies. Journalism was established in order to protect citizens by dispensing truth...facts-on-the-ground. They are not to become a Nanny feeding and guiding its audience. That is what is owed the consumer of their product. Anything else is a betrayal of their journalistic conscience...and, in the case of Israelis and Jews...a grave injustice.

Isn&apos;t it time for truth?

Shalom through strength...

            <title>State In Cyberspace: When Morons Use The Web</title>
            <description>Yes, it&apos;s election season alright...there are signs everywhere. And the current administration, with their plummeting poll numbers, is covering all their bases...bypassing the people&apos;s Congress to fool the foolish (most of the 52% who voted for Barry) with specific economic issues...and now they have developed a &apos;genius&apos; plan to &apos;fix&apos; the inept foreign policy.

Now, it&apos;s been said that there&apos;s no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people who ASK questions. The same can be said for the amazing tool, developed by the military (sorry Gore): The internet. There&apos;s no such thing as a moronic website, just websites created by morons.

And the State Dept. has now proven this to be true...

In extraordinarily lame effort to reach the Iranian people, State decided to create a &apos;internet embassy&apos; so the Iranian people would get to know the US better...since, after all, they were unable to &apos;reach&apos; the Iranian government. (Aww...I guess all those invites to July 4th celebrations didn&apos;t work after all...[schmucks].)

I have a wee bit of news for State and their Dear Leader...the Iranian people know all about the US and, as a matter of fact, tried desperately to bring pressure upon their government with the 2009-10 protests known as &quot;Persian Awakening&quot; which developed in response to the Iranian people&apos;s anger of the overturn of their free election. And instead of supporting the people&apos;s efforts, this administration, in their vast foreign affairs acumen said we shouldn&apos;t &quot;meddle&quot; in Iran&apos;s elections. But he had no problem, as leader of the free world, keeping quiet while the Mad Mullahs &apos;meddled&apos; with the people&apos;s election results, huh? (Oh, he also had no problem with the Mullah&apos;s meddling in Iraq &amp; Afghanistan killing our troops.) 

Wow, what a guy...what a friend of freedom. The kind of friend that helps you by neatly placing your head on the block before its chopped...

So the solution for Iran&apos;s tyrannical government, which derives all its &apos;peaceful&apos; precepts from the Quran...is an internet embassy? With all due respect: What the freak???

Oh wait...they will also increase student visas for Iranians. Brilliant! Students, that the Iranian government approves will be the lucky winners. Will these be student pilots, by any chance?

Since it&apos;s clear that I don&apos;t approve of the current administration...and I ALWAYS view the State Dept. with dubiosity...I should welcome this moronic move. For eventually, it will at least move the ignoramus from IL or Hawaii or one of the other &apos;57&apos; states...out of our house.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Ahjad: Schmucks Don&apos;t Take Him At His Word</title>
            <description>&quot;The Zionist regime is a tiny entity on the map, so much so that it does not count as a variable in our considerations.&quot; --Ahmadinejad, to New York media, September 2010

Iranian Puppet President Ahmadinejad, loves to play semantics. He prides himself in verbal gymnastics. He lies when he speaks to the West, because his useful idiot fans there, like the major media and some Hollywood elitists, give him a pass.

But he is as cunning as a fox. And when he talks about the West and Israel...he means every words he says...to his adoring nimrods in the West...

At a Teheran conference titled &quot;A World Without Zionism,&quot; he said:
&quot;Israel must be wiped off the map.&quot;
&quot;I have no doubt that the new wave [of attacks] which has started in dear Palestine and which we witness today all over the Islamic world will soon wipe this scourge of shame from the Islamic world. This is doable.&quot;
&quot;Western Civilization, turned the Zionist regime occupying Jerusalem into a staging-ground to dominate the Islamic world. They have created a base, from where they can expand their rule over the entire Islamic world; it has no other purpose other than this.&quot; 
&quot;Is it possible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism? But you should know that this slogan and this goal are achievable, and certainly can be achieved,&quot; Ahmadinejad proclaimed before a big crowd in Teheran. (The crowd responded with the #1 chant on the charts,  &quot;Death to America!&quot;)
At the UN...his favorite defecating-ground for Israel and the US, he said:
&quot;Dear friends, today, the human community is facing a kind of racism that has tarnished the image of humanity. In the beginning of the third millennium, the world Zionism personifies racism that falsely resorts to religion, and abuses religious sentiment to hide their hatred and ugly faces.&quot;
&quot;They (US) threaten anyone who questions the Holocaust and Sept. 11 with sanctions and military action.&quot;He got a pass from the MSM, why would they give him one? Sympathetic ears, of course...(this is the home of Occupy Wall Street, after all).

This is the same fiend that denies the Holocaust (at every opportunity), accuses Europe of &apos;stealing&apos; Iranian rain, believes that compromise over the elimination of Israel would be tantamount to the defeat of the Islamic world. And 9/11 took place “to reverse the declining American economy and its grips on the Middle East in order to save the Zionist regime.”

OK, now THERE&apos;S an example of what can emanate from the shallow end of the gene pool...

And just recently, Ahjad said that he had no problem with the people of the United States, but rather with the U.S. government. &quot;We have no problem with the people of the United States. We love them,&quot; he said on CNN.

Nice try, but not all infidels are as dumb as Liberals.

The US is a representative Republic...it&apos;s &quot;We The People...&quot; which means WE are our government (despite the current leader). This is NOT the case in the tyrannical theocracy that the little uber-cretin Ahjad rules over (while under the maniacal Mullahs). 

Let&apos;s think cogently for a moment...NO one took Hitler seriously with his rabid rants, but he tried to do every single thing he promised: Kill the Jews, and take over the world.

Is this loon so far removed from Der Fuehrer? Maybe we should look for the well and ask the Mahdi...

Shalom through strength...

            <description>With further cuts in defense spending on the horizon--congress should be reminded that its first constitutional priority is to &quot;provide for the common defense.&quot; To abdicate this moral imperative (in order to fund social programs) is the summit of stupidity.

            <title>Shalit Home, Hamas Promises Future Shalits</title>
            <description>The long and horrible nightmare is over. Gilad Shalit is home safe in the arms of his family and countrymen. 

But the deal that brought Shalit home, also brought disappointment and anger to many. The Israeli government, in the past, has vowed not to release ANY prisoners &quot;with blood on their hands.&quot; 

But that &apos;vow&apos; was not kept in this case...

&quot;The government lied to all the bereaved families. They promised the bereaved parents that the terrorists would never get out. Ehud Barak made a personal promise to me that this terrorist would never see the light of day. I knew that day that he had lied to me. I told everyone that it was only a matter of time before the next deal. I saw the Goldwasser and Regev deal and I knew that it was only a matter of time before the murderers of my brother (are released).&quot;

According to YNet.com, this was the painful disquisition belonging to Michael Norzich, brother of Vadim, who was brutally murdered by a mob in Ramallah in the year 2000. Michael said that no one called to notify him that one of the murderers of his brother was included in the list.

He did state that although his family was glad for the safe return of Shalit...&quot;our family is angry that nobody cared about our sensitivity. No one (in the government) experienced our pain.&quot;

Allow me to preface my comment with this: I have the utmost respect for PM Bibi Netanyahu...he has always shown himself to be a stalwart friend of the US. He&apos;s a brilliant statesman who respects freedom and democracy (unlike our own leader). And he has been strident in his protection of the Jewish State. 

But, this move was extremely disappointing and puzzling...

Among the prisoners are terrorists with innocent blood on their hands...including, Abdel Aziz Salha, who was notoriously photographed pompously raising his bloody hands to a cheering crowd after killing two Israeli soldiers.

Has he been reformed? If so, by what evidence?

And what of some of the others: 
Ibrahim Younis, who planned the 2003 suicide bombing in a Jerusalem cafe that killed 7 people, including Dr. David Applebaum and his daughter Nava, both US-born. She was to be married the following day.Nasser Yateima, mastermind of the Passover 2002 Netanya hotel bombing, which killed 30 and injured 140. 
Ahlam Tamimi, who in 2001 drove a suicide bomber to a crowded Jerusalem pizzeria, where he killed 15 people, including Judy Greenbaum, of Passaic, NJ...and wounded 130.Muhammad Daghlas, head of the Hamas network that carried out the Jerusalem pizzeria bombing.And proof of their reformation? Any empirical evidence to verify this?

The answer is an unequivocal: No.

These miscreants have been nurtured in a cultural milieu of hate and bloodlust. They are unwilling and incapable of turning from their wicked ways. They live and thrive under the doctrine of Taqiyyah, which allows them to lie for the sake of Islam.

So what&apos;s to trust, here?

My concern, as is the concern of many, is when will these heartless monsters strike again? 

Since I am not privy to the talks (which should not have taken place with Hamas), I cannot make a clear assessment on the reasoning that concluded in this deal. But the result is destined to be disastrous for a plethora of families.

Never releasing prisoners with blood on their hands is not only correct but critical. Showing this gaggle of gargoyles that there is a chink in Israel&apos;s armor was not merely feckless, it was truly pernicious. 

And sadly, this deal is saturated with the future tears of many families...because even one drop of innocent blood is too high a price to pay for one warrior&apos;s freedom.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Israel To Freed Jailbirds: If You Dood It, You Get A Whippin&apos;</title>
            <description>To the dismay of many, the Israeli government decided to do a prisoner exchange for long-held Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit. The final count of fiends swapped for his safe return is 1,027. 

Of that large total, 550 are security prisoners...or national security risks.

Now, the Jewish State clearly iterated that it won’t harm Palestinian prisoners freed as part of Shalit deal if, and only if, they don’t return to terror activities. 

Fair enough. But how many of you, reading this, actually believe these miscreants will not quickly try again to murder Jews? Considering their media, school system and very own terror mommies have reared them to loathe the Jews with every living fiber of their beings...so, as Proverbs says, &quot;As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool repeats his folly&quot;...

And this folly detonates...

The Israeli government is comprised of brilliant men...but the swapping of prisoners, in my humble opinion, seems to be a feckless and incautious decision that will only end in another brutal and senseless murder of the inculpable. A number of the prisoners being released have committed barbaric murders. If a mere few commit additional terrorist carnage in, the ensuing death toll will likely far outweigh the benefit of bringing Shalit safely home.

So, if a promise was garnered from these villains, consider it futile. Because the tree from which this wicked fruit fell lacks decency, morality, humanity...and, most importantly: Integrity.

That sage for the ages, Bugs Bunny, once said: &quot;If I dood it, I get a whippin&apos;. I dood it.&quot;

Go ahead, Hamas hellions...dood it. And you&apos;ll find out that Israel, unlike you, keeps its word.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Aid To Israel, Aid To their Enemies: Comparing Investments</title>
            <description>&quot;Israel was not created in order to disappear—Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.&quot;  --John F. Kennedy, May 8, 1963

Helping friends is wise. Especially when those friends share your worldview. And it doesn&apos;t hurt when those friends are the foremost experts in the area of military Intel...and share that critical Intel with you. 

Add to that, their enemies are your enemies.

So it certainly makes good common sense to support such a friend with whatever resources you possess...for as long as possible.

That is precisely the situation, with our forever ally Israel. 

Former Supreme Commander of  NATO and U.S. Secretary of State Gen. Alexander Haig (now deceased) described Israel as, 

“[Israel is] The largest US aircraft carrier, which does not require even one US soldier, cannot be sunk, is the most cost-effective and battle-tested, located in a region which is critical to vital US interests. If there would not be an Israel, the US would have to deploy real aircraft carriers, along with tens of thousands of US soldiers, which would cost tens of billions of dollars annually, dragging the US unnecessarily into local, regional and global conflicts.”

Maj. Gen. George J. Keegan, former head of U.S. Air Force intelligence, stated that America’s military defense capability,

“owes more to the Israeli intelligence input than it does to any single source of intelligence.”

Maj. Gen. Keegan and the Late Gen. Haig were spot on. Israel has been a priceless asset to the US and a more staunch ally we could not find in all the earth. So, the monies granted this faithful friend is a worthy investment that just keeps on giving.

But what of the enormous funds gifted to nations who loathe the Jewish State (and, by the way, loathe us too)? How that investment working out for us?

The most radical case is Pakistan. Recently Zalmay Khalilzad, former US Ambassador to Pakistan, reported that Pakistan helps the Taliban. 

Truth be told, Pakistani support is a chief reason why the Taliban have been so victorious in outmaneuvering our troops and carrying out a succession of high-profile assassinations of senior Afghan officials. Pakistan receives almost $2 billion in US aid annually and uses some if that money to kill our troops and support our enemies.

Not a sage venture. Why, one might consider it down right suicidal...

Egypt is another brilliant use of America&apos;s aid gone awry. They have received $40 billion US dollars in the past 30 years. And what did (do) we get for our generosity? 
Former Pres. Mubarak supported Saddam Hussein in the first Gulf War.
He undermined US war efforts by uniting Arab opposition and supporting French and German anti-US initiatives.
He worked with Russia to expand Egypt’s nuclear technologies.
He undermined US peace-making strategies in Sudan.
He exacerbated the Eritrea-Ethiopia conflict.
He opposed US sanctions on Iraq prior to the 2nd Gulf War.
And, Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel, Mubarak has led anti-Israel initiatives at the UN and has provided safe passage for terrorists and weapons smuggled into the Gaza Strip.
OK...I&apos;m sorry, which one of those was &apos;thank you very much&apos;?

There&apos;s so much more that can be said in favor of aid to Israel and in opposition of aid to Muslim countries...who happen to be our common enemies. 

But allow me to conclude with this...

Americans care about American lives. They are a precious commodity to our citizenry. Israel cares about those lives, as well. And they show that concern through their steadfast support and allegiance to the US in pragmatic and decisive ways.

In contrast, the worldview of Muslim nations is the antithesis of our own. They care little for life, and even less for US/Western lives. And they demonstrate that by utilizing our funds to support our enemies, assist and enable our enemies to kill our soldiers, fund the nations that seek our destruction, and pay the salaries of and reward terrorists who emulate their perverse perspective on life. 

In a time when money (and life) means more than ever to Americans...which investment seems most cogent?

You decide.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Al-Sadr&apos;s Prey: Obama-Weakened US Troops</title>
            <description>&quot;Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent&apos;s fate.&quot; 
                         --Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Ignorance is a feckless thing. And in the case of Military strategy, it can be pernicious. 

The latter is precisely the situation our troops are enduring since the current administration&apos;s strategic ineptitude in Iraq. Pulling troops out before the job is done is an unequivocal message to our enemies that we are weakened and can easily be compromised and conquered. 

Muqtada al-Sadr...(remember him?), has already planned to spill as much American blood as possible. Mookie (as he is more &apos;affectionately&apos; known) has placed a target on each one of our 4,000 troops remaining in Iraq.

Now, if I didn&apos;t know Barry was the US President...I&apos;d swear his actions were favorable to this frocked fiend...

Here is an important strategy point that Sun Tzu, author of The Art of War, has for Mr. Obama:

&quot;Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.&quot; 

The first part of that IS: Know your ENEMY. A point that seems to have escaped the Commander-in-Chief. This point seems so extremely lucid...but apparently too lucid for our Genius-in-Chief and his ilk. It never seems to make the nexus with their gray matter. 

Many Americans, such as myself, are deeply concerned about the predicament in which Barry has placed our troops. His history of disdain for the Military has not gone unnoticed. And having failed to have reneged on this position validates that anxiety.

In order to ensure that our troops are placed in a strategic position for victory, we need to vote in leaders that truly have our national security at heart. If not, we will be destined to failures from the battlefield, to the diplomatic table...to our very homeland.

Now is the time for all good citizens TO pray...before leaders, like the current crop, cause the bastion of freedom, to BE prey.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Saudi Money &amp; CAIR: Undermining US Security</title>
            <description>In every dark corner that festers with the stench of deception and religious superiority found today...you will also find the filthy lucre of the House of Saud.

Nothing happens in the Kingdom of Saud without the Royal Family&apos;s knowledge...9-11 hijackers included, since they were of the same ideology touted by the Saudis: Wahhabism. Part of Wahhabism is Sharia Law, the draconian, Islamic dictates that demand (according to the Quran) the supremacy of Islam over all things...religion, lifestyle and government.

Just as we find that a majority of Muslims won&apos;t strap on an explosive accessory, not all in the House of Saud practice Wahhabism. BUT, similar to the majority of their brethren, most Muslims generally keep silent on criticizing the ones who participate in Hard Jihad (terrorism), since they are aware of what the Quran dictates...and they know their brethren are the &apos;brave&apos; ones carrying out Muhammed&apos;s desires.

Funding is critical to the aims and goals of the ideology of Islam: One World Ummah. 

And so, funding continues to flow to entities in the US (the Great Satan) in order to engage in Soft Jihad (non-violent) ...using our laws (and culture) as a weapon against us (Lawfare). 

A major tentacle of Hard and Soft Jihad that has found its way onto our shores is the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR)...the unindicted coconspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Case. Eleven out of fourteen CAIR officials have either been deported, indicted, convicted, fled the US or been identified as a terrorist.

According to Frank Gaffney, Founder &amp; President of The Center For Security Policy, &quot;The Saudis have been key financiers of CAIR activities and projects for years.&quot;
In June 2003 that the construction of the Council’s Washington, D.C. headquarters was subsidized by a $250,000 grant from the Islamic Development Bank, an international financing organization based in Jeddah and run by a Saudi national, Dr. Ahmad Mohamed Ali.
American Libraries gratefully reported in February 2003 that Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal donated $500,000 to a CAIR project that aims to put Wahhabi Islamic reading materials in public libraries across the United States.
In January 2005, a Freedom House report documented the placement, by Saudi Arabia in American mosques, of officially published and disseminated materials that are rabidly anti-Semitic, anti-Christian and pro-jihadist, we would be foolish to view the CAIR/Saudi library initiative as a gift-horse.
And from Daniel Pipes, Founder of Middle East Forum:
President of the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) Dr. Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ali announced that the bank has approved a number of new grants for Muslim minorities in non-Muslim countries worldwide. These include U.S. $395,000 to build a school in Tanzania, $250,000 as a contribution to the purchase of land in Washington DC to be the headquarters for an education and research center under the aegis of the Council for American Islamic Relations, and $30 million for Islamic associations in India.
For those not familiar with the Islamic Development Bank, it appears to be an international institution but is in fact an arm of Saudi foreign policy.
Now, CAIR...which was categorized by the FBI as a
product of a Hamas-support network in the United States...has been busy. October 3rd, the Washington State chapter of the CAIR joined a coalition of community groups at a news conference in Seattle to express concerns about reports that FBI agents are trained to view mainstream American Muslims with suspicion and to view the faith of Islam itself as the source of terrorism and extremism.

I&apos;m sorry...did I miss the punch line? Islam IS the source of terrorism and extremism in the world today. Since 9-11, almost 18,000 deadly terror attacks have been committed globally by...well, if we listen to terrorist entities like CAIR, &apos;misunderstanders&apos; of Islam. 

This is a tactic that CAIR, a Saudi-financed entity, is using to pressure our national security guards to drop theirs, out of fear. 

And if our protectors blink...eventually...it might very well be the last time we do.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Iran Spewing Hate: Some Songs Never Change</title>
            <description>&quot;The Zionist regime&apos;s establishment was based on numerous deceptions and lies and one of the biggest lies was the Holocaust.&quot; ~Ahmadinejad at Tehran U. 8/26/11

Since 1979, the Islamic nation of Iran has spewed anti-Jewish slogans, but few were worried that those shibboleths would turn violent. That is, until the rhetoric got ramped up in 2005 by the Regime&apos;s Pinocchio Ahmadinejad, or as he&apos;s more affectionately know: Ahjad.

And it&apos;s been increasing ever since...

Some past rants by the Iranian marionette:
&quot;The Zionists are groups of hypocrite racists who have been operating under the pretext of following Jewish religion principles.&quot;
We &quot;oppose the occupation and aggression and the crimes committed by the Zionist enemy and those who support it.&quot;
He described Israel as a &quot;fake regime&quot; that &quot;must be wiped off the map.&quot;
&quot;The question is, why don&apos;t we allow this subject (the Holocaust) to be examined further... It is incorrect to force only one view on the rest of the world...How come when it comes to the subject of the Holocaust there is so much sensitivity?&quot;
Has called Zionists &quot;the most detested people in all humanity&quot; and called the Holocaust &quot;a myth.&quot;
He claimed Western countries were using special equipment to dump rain on their countries, leaving none for Iran.
And he continued his Muslim melody at the UN and Durban III this past week: “Iran believes that whoever is for humanity should also be for eradicating the Zionist regime (Israel) as symbol of suppression and discrimination,” Ahmadinejad said in an interview with a Lebanese television network.

The current Islamic Regime&apos;s sock-puppet is carrying on their tired old hateful harangue...it&apos;s a haunting melody that works better on Oct. 31st. But with their nuclear program moving forward (as the world community has done little to deter them)...like a cheetah (who can accelerate from 0 to 68 mph in 3 seconds) after its prey...this time the rhetoric has morphed into a credible threat.

When will the world community begin to condemn this hate-speech? Where is the hue and cry against this mendacious messenger, when truth be told: ALL of the West is on their morbid menu.

A new tune needs to make the airwaves. An anthem against Ahjad and the Maniacal Mullahs...for sanity&apos;s sake and for the sake of innocents everywhere.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>It&apos;s A New Day: PA Does Not Get Its Way</title>
            <description>Uh oh...the Palestinian Authority (PA)...with all their threats and demands for the past few weeks...doesn&apos;t get its way...at least with the Quartet.

Aww, sniff, sniff, does anyone have a Kleenex?

The Quartet on the Middle East is comprised of: the US, the UN, the EU and Russia. Their ideas and proposals, in the past, have been lame, at best. BUT, this proposal surely sends a message to Abbas and the PA, that bully-bans extend all the way over to Gaza.

The Quartet has proposed a timetable for revived talks and for a final resolution. BUT it did not reach Abbas’ demand for a complete freeze of Jewish building in Judea and Samaria and in areas of Jerusalem, which Abbas insists on confiscating as the capital of the PA.

All their pressure this week appears to be for naught. While they await a vote, it is unlikely they will receive the number necessary (2/3 majority) to gain Member State status. 

And the US has a veto dangling over their keffiyehs, as well.

Now, the PA, consisting of the terror groups Fatah &amp; Hamas (although the US does not consider Fatah to be a threat), still refuse to recognize Israel&apos;s right to exist. (Sidebar: So, doesn&apos;t that make any negotiations/talks moot, since both parties have to recognize the others existence, as a prerequisite? I guess this is where Rod Serling steps into the picture...)

The fecklessness, on the part of outsiders (the Quartet et al) to the conflict ends up being pernicious and not quaint or humorous. Because the result of world leaders accommodating the babblings and demands of a people who daily commit crimes against humanity on innocent Israelis, is a body count of precious blood. These crimes are both an act of commission by the PA...coupled with the belittling or outright disregard of those lives, which is an act of omission by those beyond the conflict.

Many can play Macbeth here...

But, for now...the Quartet is like the old Ford motto: They have a better idea. 

Shalom through strength...

            <description>‎&quot;President Obama&apos;s re-election strategy (class-warfare) unambiguously demonstrates that he is not an agent of &quot;Hope&quot;--but rather a divisive, sinister and self-serving politico who will (if need be) profoundly polarize the country in order to achieve his political objectives.&quot;---W.R.

            <title>Security Council: Will The US Have To Be The Adult?</title>
            <description>The Palestinian Authority&apos;s (PA) dream of being Queen for a Day, were dashed today...but their real thrashing will come in a Security Council vote...

Here&apos;s a quick refresher on how this all works at the &apos;Useless Nations&apos;: 
According to the UN Charter, Article 27, Security Council decisions on all substantive matters require the affirmative votes of 9 members. There are 5 permanent members (US, UK, France, Russia &amp; China).
Ten other members are elected by the General Assembly for 2-year terms starting on January 1st, with 5 replaced every year. The members are chosen by regional groups and confirmed by the United Nations General Assembly.
A no vote, or veto, also known as the rule of &quot;great power unanimity&quot;, cast by a permanent member prevents adoption of a proposal, even if it has received the required number of affirmative votes (9).
The US will veto the bid for Palestinian statehood, (and normally I would give even Obama kudos for this, if his motives weren&apos;t dubious, due to an election season)...therefore the bid is moot.

The most disturbing fact is the prior blustering behavior by the PA, demanding statehood...and promising that if it didn&apos;t get what it wanted, violence could very well break out. Really? That sounds like the warning of a bullying child threatening to trash the room if he didn&apos;t get his way.

Is this the depths to which the world, in their trepidation of standing for truth, have gone? That they will allow an entity (the PA), who is acting more like Chuckie than a peace partner, call the shots?

It looks like, once again, that the &apos;City upon a Hill&apos; will have to lead the way...even if it is by a man who would rather lead from behind.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Israel &amp; The PA: Making Nice With Hate</title>
            <description>It&apos;s coming down to the wire. Israel has bent over backwards so many times to make peace with the Palestinian Authority (PA), they now look more like a pretzel than a State. All the compromises have been done by Israel and none by the &apos;Palestinians&apos;. 

It&apos;s been an inequitable relationship so far...Israel gives in on almost everything and the PA has it&apos;s minions pummel Israeli civilians into weariness to pressure their government to give more. 

A bum deal to most rational people...but ostensibly, according to the global milieu so far, the globe is replete with mentally challenged peeps...

The PA&apos;s current finagling prior to the Durban III conference next week in order to declare Statehood (Jew-Free with a capital of Jerusalem), unequivocally proves that the &apos;Palestinians&apos; are neither concerned with negotiations nor peace with the Jewish State.

All of Israel&apos;s efforts, albeit genuine, have been with people who have no honor, no integrity and no mercy. Therefore, Israel&apos;s efforts have been in vain because the beneficiaries of those acts find their sustenance on a toxic drip of hate. 

So Israel&apos;s sincere acts toward peace, are met with suspicion...and will never be viewed otherwise.

Note to the befuddled among us: Making nice with hate, guarantees you the short end of the stick...and in this case, the long end will keep whacking.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>School&apos;s Open And The Curriculum Is: HATE</title>
            <description>On Tuesday, the Samaria Military Court sentenced Hakim Awad, 18, who was convicted of murdering 5 members of the Fogel family in Itamar last March, to five consecutive life sentences and another five years in prison, totaling 130 years in jail.

Hakim Awad and his cousin Amjad Awad, 19, barbarically murdered the Fogel family: Ehud Fogel, 36, Ruth Fogel, 35, 11-year-old Yoav, 4-year-old Elad and 2-month-old Hadas. 

Amjad&apos;s comments on his slaughter of innocents: &quot;I&apos;m proud of what I did...I don&apos;t regret what I did, even if it means I&apos;m sentenced to death.&quot;

Hakim&apos;s comments on his slaughter of innocents: &quot;I am a person like you, I have no mental condition, I never had a serious illness. My only illness is the Israeli occupation.&quot;

How could teenagers become so hateful and calloused as to slaughter innocents...and possess no remorse?

The answer can be found in the culture of Jew-hatred manufactured, manipulated and controlled by the Palestinian Authority (PA)...and supported and also practiced by the Muslim Arab Street.

There are myriad examples of the system that supports the corruption that is deeply embedded in the young by the PA. Here are a few:
PA Textbooks:
From elementary through high school, are replete with powerful expressions of hatred towards Israel.
Negation of Israel&apos;s right to exist and praise for the struggle against it.
Anti-Semitic terminology against the Jews.
Calls to fight and eliminate Israel via Holy War (Jihad) and Martyrdom for Allah (Shahada) appear habitually in PA schoolbooks, glorifying Shahada as an goal to be attained.Quotes by Palestinian parents:
&quot;I&apos;m prepared to sacrifice my six children,&quot; said Mahmoud Sumara&apos;s mother, Halima. &quot;I&apos;m serious. I don&apos;t mind if I lose them if that brings back al-Aqsa...&quot; (NBC News).
Mother of female suicide bomber, upon learning of her daughter&apos;s death: &quot;I didn&apos;t scream, even my scarf stayed on my head. Everyone came.
Everyone heard what happened... I was sitting and started to sing to her. I said, &apos;It&apos;s the night before your wedding, Darin, and we won&apos;t see you anymore, my daughter.&apos; People around me said, &apos;Allah be with you.&apos; I said, &apos;I haven&apos;t gone mad, I&apos;m not crazy. I want to sing, Darin is a bride.&apos;&quot;[PA TV (Fatah), Aug. 3, 2011]
&quot;I am happy that he [her 13-year-old son] has been martyred. I will sacrifice all my sons and daughters (12 in all) to Al-Aqsa and Jerusalem.&quot; (a mother to Sam Kiley of the London Times)
Quotes by Palestinian children (powerful peer pressure):
&quot;We meet everyday and decide. We just want to get Israeli&apos;s. I want to kill them.&quot; (15-year-old Mahmoud Sumara on NBC News).&quot;My purpose is not to be wounded, but something more sublime--martyrdom.&quot; (Ramahan Sahadi Abed Rabbah, age 13, tells PA paper Al-Hayat).
&quot;I&apos;m happy to die for my country, as long as a couple of Israeli soldiers die, too.&quot; (12-year-old schoolboy from Beit Jalah, Samir al-Mahari, tells the Jerusalem Post)
Poems and songs taught to the children follow the same recurring theme: The fortunate are those who are killed...attaining &quot;Martyrdom&quot;.
The list can go on interminably, including PA children&apos;s TV shows reinforcing themes of bloodthirsty hate for Jews and for the State of Israel, naming recreation areas after suicide bombers, surrounding the young in a milieu of anger and detestation.

This is what killers like Hakim and Amjad were weaned on. A carefully concocted cocktail of hatred and lies, resulting in the closest human examples of robotic assassins. 

Yes, it&apos;s a new school year. Time to nurture our children to grow into solid, caring human beings. That is, of course, unless our children happen to be living in a PA-controlled community...supported by the Arab Street and ignored by the world/MSM media...

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Abbas&apos; Overplayed Hand</title>
            <description>Despite the numerous calls for the PA to renege on a declaration of a Palestinian State at the UN, during Durban III, and return to the negotiation table with Israel...Abbas has become even more intractable. He is moving full steam ahead with a worldwide media campaign prior to the September 21 motion at the UN for Palestinian statehood.

But in foolishness, he&apos;s overplaying his hand...

First, in his media campaign he used the words of Obama in a speech before the UN General Assembly in 2010, in which he expressed hope (something he does so well he even won a prize for it [Nobel]) of a Palestinian State in a year. But Abbas is presenting it in a radio spot as a PROMISE by Obama. A deception...something the PA are masters at...

Second, a unilateral pronouncement of a Palestinian state would be an illegal act that would violate U.N. Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338. Those resolutions, which are binding, call for a negotiated settlement of the dispute between Israel and the PA, which include &apos;secure and recognized borders&apos;.

Abbas&apos; assumption that there&apos;s enough anti-Semitism in world governments and world media, to bully his way into a State (with Jerusalem as their capital), is simply a PA State of mind...not a reality. If this were a time that didn&apos;t have a 24/7 news cycle, perhaps the fiend would be able to have his way. But, alas, to his ultimate dismay...we&apos;re ALL watching. And it will not be as he desires...and the PA will be further than ever from an official PA State.

His hatred for the Jewish State, as with his brethren, has caused him to go too far. The results will NEVER be a State, because it&apos;s robbed from its rightful owners. But rather, this arrogant and hateful move will cause the loss of more innocent lives....

But for Abbas and his ilk...that&apos;s not a problem, as long as the lives lost...are Jewish.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Turkey&apos;s Erdogan: Goes Gangsta</title>
            <description>ore loser, cry baby, sour grapes...there are many terms for those who lose in a fair competition, but whine incessantly about it. But I have a new term to add to the lot: Turkey.

Since their complicity in the first Gaza Flotilla, which backfired on them tremendously...they have been in a pouting mode.

Here&apos;s what happened, to Turkey&apos;s PM Erdogan&apos;s dismay:
The Turkey-based IHH (terror-tied group) had the intention of provoking the IDF with the flotilla...and their intentions were videotaped as they physically assaulted the IDF upon boarding the flotilla to prevent its entering the Gaza port.
The violent attack by the flotilla occupants, of the Mavi Marmara, resulted in deaths from a defensive action by the IDF.The world media and myriad world governments blamed Israel and called the blockade &quot;illegal&quot;
UN Palmer Report on the Gaza Flotilla of 2010 is released and unequivocally upheld without reservation Israel&apos;s right to enforce a naval blockade of Gaza and remarked as to why the Jewish state must take extraordinary measures for self-defense: 1) To prevent Hamas from importing weaponry after launching thousands of rockets into Israeli civilian areas, 2) Preventing shipping into Gaza has a negligible impact on Palestinians&apos; quality of life...humanitarian aid still reaches the people.
Turkish PM Erdogan&apos;s response? He tosses the Israeli Ambassador out of the country. Ooo tough guy.

Then Erdogan demands Israeli diplomats get out of the country. Push the peacemakers around...how gangsta...

Then Erdogan suspends all trade with Israel!! Well, kinda...sshhh

After making his Sopranos audition...his spokesperson later &apos;clarified&apos; in the Wall Street Journal that the prime minister had been referring in his remarks only to trade in defense goods, and not to trade in general.

In an attempt to sound like a big kahuna to the Muslim world...and because he went gangsta...Erdogan made himself look like a gigantic mascot of his country. And if I were him, I&apos;d be worried...Thanksgiving is coming and you know what some Westerners do with Turkeys.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Ample Supply Of TP</title>
            <description>This Thursday&apos;s &quot;Jobs&quot; speech will proffer nothing new. It will be a longwinded whine centered around the prosaic, not to mention tired liberal nostrum of class warfare (tax the wealthy). Hopefully Obama&apos;s handlers will have an ample supply of toilet paper on hand to wipe his lips.

            <title>Turkey: Defiance In The Face Of Truth</title>
            <description>The Palmer Report, the UN report on the Gaza Flotilla Raid, is out. And it proves Israel correct in their blockade.

And, consequently, it proved Turkey WRONG.

So what was Turkey&apos;s response to the report? First, they threw Israel&apos;s Ambassador out of the country. 

Ah, grace under fire...

Second, the Turkish navy will significantly strengthen its presence in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. In other words...they will be a personal escort for the next Gaza Flotilla.

Erdogan to Israel, UN: Up Yours!

OR...&quot;wah, wah, wah...it didn&apos;t go my way&quot;...

A Turkish official was quoted saying, &quot;We are looking for the best timing for the visit...Our primary purpose is to draw the world’s attention to what is going on in Gaza and to push the international community to end the unfair embargo imposed by Israel.&quot;
Hmmm...unfair? Why sure...it&apos;s unfair not to allow them to transfer weapons to their brethren, and the enemies of Israel, to destroy the Jews. It&apos;s legal, but oh so unfair...if you&apos;re a terrorist scum, I guess...

Since the rebirth of the Jewish State in 1948, Turkey has seen a rise in anti-Semitism. As Turkey&apos;s government has become more Islamic, by membership in their parliament...which reflects the sentiments of the population. And this has led to a recent surge in anti-Semitic literature, most notably the sale of Mein Kampf, the autobiography of Adolf Hitler, a bestseller throughout the country. Moreover, sales of the similarly themed books like &apos;The Protocols of the Elders of Zion&apos; and Henry Ford&apos;s &apos;The International Jew&apos; have also increased. (Yes, that&apos;s Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Co., who published his anti-Semitic refuse out of Dearborn, MI.)

The Gaza blockade was necessary to prevent weapons from reaching Gaza. Weapons used to target Israeli civilians. The UN confirmed the legality of the blockade in the Palmer Report. That should be the end of the story. 

Bust as long as there are Muslims, there will be Jewish enemies. And as long as there are Jewish enemies, there will never be peace in the Middle East or anywhere else a Jew may set his foot.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Soccer Fans: Making Sport of Hating Jews?</title>
            <description>The malignant contagion known as anti-Semitism, is on the rise yet again. The increase of global anti-Semitism is alarming...and the tolerance of hateful protests worldwide is inexcusable and reprehensible. And it&apos;s being expressed at sports events. But predominantly at one sports event: Soccer.

Am I picking on soccer? Nope...facts are facts.

Violence has a history among fans of soccer. In the mid-1970s, a thuggish movement began to spread from England to continental Europe, particularly to Germany, Belgium, Italy and Holland. On average, there were violent incidents at one of every ten games in these countries in the 1990s. Police estimate that about 10% of soccer fans in these countries are prone to violence. That may not sound like a large number, but 10% can be huge when that violence is focused on you.

Since that time, the loathing has been festering below the surface...and inaudibly, just as real bigotry behaves...

Since 2006, there have been a growing number of incidents that have not been addressed...similar to the one below (catalogued by the AJC):

&quot;In 2006 there were a number of antisemitic and racist incidents in German soccer, especially in the lower leagues, that were widely reported in the media. During a game between the second professional league clubs Dynamo Dresden and FC Energie Cottbus in December 2005, Cottbus fans displayed a large banner with the word “Juden” (Jews) flanked by two stars of David. The letter “d” in “Juden” was identical to the emblem of the opposition team Dynamo Dresden. TV viewers saw an antisemitic banner that was not confiscated by the police or the marshals. No sports officials imposed penalties on the Cottbus soccer club, despite the fact that the photo of the banner was widely publicized in the media.&quot;

Ignored sentiments reminiscent of the subtle hatred that eventually sent 6 million Jews to their death...and in a Fatherland that is still stained with the stench of death. That is NOT a good sign of things to come.

But, of course, this is not limited to Germany. There have been incidents reported in soccer fields all over the EU...including Spain, Italy, France...etc. And more recently in the Netherlands (with shouts of &quot;Hamas, Hamas. Jews To Gas&quot;).

Is the US the only country where the citizens would never tolerate this hatred toward the Jewish people at a sports event...or anywhere else, for that matter? Besides the fact that our sports are far better than any found elsewhere in the world (excluding Rugby)...and yes, our fans may be rowdy at times...and have team-spirit rowdy-dows on occasion....but we would NEVER allow or encourage such sick rhetoric. 

Sadly, it&apos;s clear that there is something now endemic to soccer fans that brings out a twisted form of anti-Semitism not seen since Adolf had his good little Bundists click their heals and follow him. A verbal hate that lays the groundwork for another slow, methodical walk toward another Shoah. 

Is there something about soccer that brings out Jew-hatred in a fan? I hope not...because 10% is 10% too much for me.

Shalom through strength...

            <description>Well, it didn&apos;t take long for such insidiousness to take place.

According to Ynetnews.com (shortly after Libya fell to the rebels) weapons from the North African nation have been streaming into Gaza in order to bolster Hamas&apos; arsenal against Israel.

Yet another toxic manifestation of &quot;leading from behind.&quot;

This is yet more demonstrable evidence that real Americans don&apos;t give a rat&apos;s ass what these feckless, media gasbags think.

            <title>Disorder in Damascus = Tel Aviv Terror Threat</title>
            <description>With calls for Assad to step down, which will never happen (because Iran will not allow it), few are discussing the serious threat that looms over the region with Syria&apos;s WMDs.

Yup, that&apos;s right...they have them...

Assad has the world’s most lethal arsenal of WMDs, hundreds of chemical weapons, including mustard gas, Sarin, Tabun and VX (which were produced at five key locations: Cerin, Hama, Homs, Latakia and Palmyra). And warheads and dozens of Scud and SS-21 missiles that can deliver them anywhere in the Levant ( the area of Western Asia including the Mediterranean to the west, the Taurus Mountains to the north, the Arabian Desert to the south, and the Syrian Desert).

Additionally, the Syrian Navy is alleged to have transformed some naval cruise missiles for use with chemical warheads and could also use its shore-to-sea and coastal defense missiles.

And to make the milieu far worse...Syria established 4 more nuclear facilities as well as the one Israel bombed in 2007, according to an Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) report earlier this year. Syria’s nuclear program was far more advanced than formerly believed, according to the report. And it included a uranium conversion facility and three storage sites, in addition to the reactor destroyed at al-Kibar.

Too many dangerous toys for evil little boys to play with...especially little boys with the determination of Chuckie!

Israeli Amb. Oren has stated Israel has concerns...and well they should, since Assad has designs on a key national security area for Israel: The Golan Heights.

The US, under the current administration, has shown itself to be a non-threat to the region. So our words mean little to Assad. But Israel, under their intrepid leader Bibi, mean business...and for Zion&apos;s sake...will have to deal with this critical threat as they see fit.

And may we never stand in their way...

Shalom Through Strength...

            <description>As reported by Israel National News Egyptian protesters (during a recent gathering of the &quot;Arab Spring&quot;) virulently demanded that Israel&apos;s ambassador exit the country, ASAP. In fact--the mobs exact words were: &quot;Zionist Envoy, Leave Egypt or Die.&quot;

            <title>September At The UN: NGOs Plan To Party Hardy</title>
            <description>It&apos;s coming...the September to remember. One in which the enemies of Israel, with reprehensible rhetoric, collectively condemn the Jewish State for...well...being Jewish. 

Oh, it&apos;s not announced that way in the media...but if you stop and observe the activities of Durban I and Durban II, you&apos;ll find a Jewish hate-fest courtesy of the some of the most intolerant countries on earth. 

So, on September 22nd, the coven of countries gathers once again (sans the US, Israel, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, Czech Republic and Australia)...in commemoration the 10th anniversary of the infamous UN World Conference Against Racism, held in Durban, South Africa, aka Durban I. The focus for this gathering will be the NGOs (non-governmental organizations).

Should there be any alarm over an NGO focus? If you look at the Durbin I NGO Declaration, you will observe a clear and vehement focus against the Jewish State. Gerald Steinberg, president of the Jerusalem-based NGO Monitor, cautions, &quot;&quot;Under the façade of human rights, over 1500 NGOs, many allied with Iran and oppressive Arab regimes, used the NGO Forum to attack Israel and promote a strategy of delegitimization and double standards that continues today.&quot;

This wasn&apos;t repeated in Durban II, perhaps due to the outcry about the anti-Semitism displayed at Durban I. But the apprehension about Durban III is warranted. According to Steinberg, &quot;No criteria are provided regarding the selection of NGOs...The proposed framework would invite NGO manipulation and hijacking, as happened at Durban in 2001.&quot;

Mr. Steinberg is correct. The danger is unequivocal and that is perhaps the reason that 2 member states have pulled out of this counterfeit conference on racism. 

It&apos;s been suggested, and I concur, that Durban III was intended to lay the groundwork...with its toxic anti-Israel milieu...for the declaration of a &apos;Palestinian&apos; State. 

Oops...the cat is out of the bag, guys...

The Israel-bashers may be pulling out their party hats, but they have been put on notice: Hating Israel IS hate...and wasn&apos;t the purpose of this to negate the hate?

Shalom through strength...

            <description>Rep. Maxine Water&apos;s apoplexy over President Obama&apos;s &quot;Cracker America&quot; bus Tour is just a wee bit disingenuous. She (like Obama) knows full well that the Democrat Party can affront the sensibilities of the black community (with impunity) because in the end--this community will never leave Plantation Jackass.

            <description>Manifestly President Obama&apos;s 2009 &quot;Kiss Allah&apos;s Ass Tour&quot; was an unmitigated flop.

Why? Well according to a recent Zogby poll--only 5% of Egyptians and 10% of Turks like Americans.

Ironically--these numbers were much higher under the previous president who Obama stridently blamed for our &quot;bad standing&quot; in the Muslim World.

            <title>The Left &amp; Israel: When The Front Door&apos;s Bolted, Sneak In The Doggie Door</title>
            <description>It started with Cottage Cheese. You got it...the protests in Israel about everything from housing and rents to education and the high costs of raising children in Israel...started with a Facebook protest page about the high price of Cottage Cheese.

That worked...the price dropped...but I believe it had little to do with the government and more to do with boycott pressure.

But waiting in the wings...or more appropriately, laying in wait...are those longing to prey on the tiny Jewish State. They come in all shapes and sizes, but don the same paltering facade: One of a lovers of peace.

It&apos;s the Left and their anti-Israel ilk. They were looking for an opportunity to unseat Bibi...the stalwart defender of his people. The front door was bolted...they couldn&apos;t budge him on the foreign policy front. So the only plan they could devise from the current protests was go in through the rear doggie door...

Domestically.

They hoped for a new use for small-curd cheese...as a battering-ram to get a vote of no confidence. And they weren&apos;t as subtle as they may have desired to be.
If we look at their demands and buzz words, we can clearly see who has taken advantage of the current unrest…
Here they are:An increase personal tax brackets for top earners. (provoking hatred of the rich, Class Warfare)
Lower rents…increase development would solve this issue, which is being blocked by the Left and the so-called Palestinians. Especially the attempts to build in Judea and Samaria: Jewish Land. It’s referred to as the West Bank, but it’s still Judea &amp; Samaria.
The words “social justice” are bandied about. They’ve even called it the ‘Social Justice Protest’.
The placement of a guillotine in the ‘tent city’…referring to the French Revolution…which was NOT about democracy and liberty. It was a Socialist Revolution. (Maybe that can work in this country because of the NEA’s dumbing-down of our education system…through indoctrination and historical revisionism. But that will not go as far in Israel).
Yes, it&apos;s the good old commie Left...the loathers of liberty. And they just have to get rid of this democratic beam of light in the Middle East. One way (through their fiendish friends in the Arab world) or another.

How did they whoop a good number of Israelis to protest their government with the following facts available?
Unemployment numbers the lowest they have been in 20 years. 
The number of tourists arriving in Israel the highest number in 10 years. 
And personal security is the best they’ve seen in almost 30 years.
Well, they&apos;re master manipulators...and are able to persuade that the glass is not half full, but rather half empty.

But facts are stubborn things. And topple Bibi, they will find an arduous job. There will be compromises on the part of the administration with the population, but in these volatile times, I have confidence the Israeli people know who will protect them.

And that champion is their current PM.

Shalom through strength...

            <description>Kudos to Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter (a black man) for doing the one thing the liberal media (and even the police) refused to do: Tell the American people that the rampaging thugs--who brutally attacked whites in at least four major cities (including his own)--were young black males.

            <title>Hey PA: Judenrein? Never Again</title>
            <description>&quot;The internal expurgation of the Jewish spirit is not possible in any platonic way. For the Jewish spirit as the product of the Jewish person. Unless we expel the Jewish people. Unless we expel the Jewish people soon, they will have judaized our people within a very short time.&quot; 
                                 --Adolf Hitler 1923

The assumption, in the Middle East conflict, that both sides desires peace with the other, is naive at best...

It doesn&apos;t take a private investigator...or a super-genius, to assess that the &apos;Palestinian&apos; people, through their duly elected leaders, intend to have a state that is one where Adolf Hitler could easily call home. Why? Because their words and actions prove that they are planning for a Judenrein &apos;Palestinian&apos; state...or a state &apos;cleansed of Jews&apos;.

Moshe Arens in Ha&apos;aretz put it succinctly: Judenrein Palestine.

They want a land Jew-free. What many do not understand is...according to the twisted ideology of Islam, once a land is conquered by Muslims, it belongs to Islam FOREVER. When the Muslims won the Battle of Yarmouk in 637, they began to rule Jerusalem. Muslims believe that they are now entitled to Israel interminably. BUT, that&apos;s not all...they believe they have a right to it, Jew-free...without Jews...and they prove that by their wooing of the Jewish people&apos;s hearts in bombing them into submission and surrender of Jewish land.

With the help of geniuses like the Middle East Quartet (US, Russia, EU &amp; UN). 

The billions of dollars that have poured into the coffers of the Palestinian Authority (PA), if utilized as promised...would have helped create a visibly thriving area, with many &apos;Palestinians&apos; being aided. But instead...with NO oversight of the aid, it has been used to fund anti-Semitic propaganda veiled as school curriculum, and it&apos;s lined the pockets of the likes of fiends such as Yasser Arafat and his cohort Abbas, not to mention it&apos;s made its way into the strongbox of Hamas.

I&apos;m trying to figure out precisely where the promise of peace is found in the PA-controlled scenario: In the rearing of a future generation of Jew-haters longing to spill Jewish blood? In the PA&apos;s refusal to agree to Israel&apos;s right to exist? In the daily &apos;love&apos; rockets vomiting over the landscape of Jewish civilian areas? In the interminable attempts by suicide bombers to gain entrance and access to innocent Israeli women and children? Or in the &apos;palestinian&apos; youth who gleefully slaughter Jewish families as they sleep?

Hmmm...quite a menu...but it all spells: NO PEACE for the Jewish State. And, for that matter: NO Jewish State!

The cries, from Hamas et al, for all Jews out of &apos;Palestinian&apos; areas is nothing but Hitleresque. The outcry from the world must be vociferous and vehemently against this Judenrein. 

The fact that it is going unnoticed speaks volumes of either a world with amnesia...or a convenient global cloaking of the remnants of the Jew-hatred by Nazi Germany...which is alive and well in the PA....and beyond.

Shalom through strength...

Obamanomics has eviscerated the African-American community. From high unemployment to home foreclosures--it has been an economic bloodbath.

Yet--this community continues to give the President high marks.

Could it be all about skin hue?

            <title>Holiday Intifadas: Where&apos;s The &apos;Moderate&apos; Hue And Cry?</title>
            <description>A former adviser to the late (thank G-d) Yasser Arafat, and a member of the PLO, this week called on all Arab Muslims and Christians in and around the world to turn Fridays during the month of Ramadan into days of intifada (violent uprisings) of the millions against what he termed “the Israeli occupation” and the “Judaizing” of Jerusalem.

Yes, that&apos;s correct...a respected representative of the &apos;religion of peace&apos; is calling for mini-intifadas all throughout their sacred holiday.

Where&apos;s the hue and cry against it from so-called moderate Muslims?
 
Sidebar: Does anyone, besides myself, find it funny that those who call for a ban on bullies, are often the very same people who have no problem bullying Israel to compromise interminably?? A wee bit hypocritical and irrational, ya think?

Back from sidebar...

Do the so-called moderates want to be legit? Then ouvrez votre bouche (open your mouths)!! Your silence is suspect. If the situation was reversed, would they not accuse us of being silent enablers? 

It&apos;s only common sense...for those who dwell in reality...

If anyone calls, out of an ideology like Islam, for violent uprisings...and no one cries out vociferously against it...the common assessment should be that they are: Silent collaborators. To conclude otherwise would be feckless.

Until we hear the cry, the only logical conclusion is: Welcome to Islam.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Iran: The Peril Of Pooh-Poohing Ahjad</title>
            <description>The Debt Ceiling, S &amp; P ratings, the NFL Lockout...there&apos;s been enough to keep us distracted. And it&apos;s working...

Who&apos;s really spoken about Iran, lately? Is that cricket chirps I&apos;m hearing? But I&apos;ll bet you didn&apos;t know that they have never ceased their nuclear program, which they have unequivocally stated that they will use to wipe Israel off the map...and then the Great Satan (that&apos;s us)...

Since 2005, the US, the UN and the EU have given a benign berating to the maniacal Mullahs of Tehran. According to IranWatch.org, &quot;The U.N. Security Council has approved resolutions requiring member states to freeze the assets of 117 entities; the United States has largely relied on an executive order targeting proliferators of mass destruction weapons to freeze the assets of 206 entities; and the European Union has implemented financial sanctions against 292.&quot;

And NONE, not ONE entity has imposed financial sanctions on Ahmadinejad, or as he&apos;s more affectionately known: Ahjad.

Nice...a dangerous weenie triad! I&apos;m feeling safe already, how about you?

It&apos;s important to understand just how perilous our position is using a pragmatic timeline (IranWatch).

Bomb prospect of Iran’s low-enriched uranium stockpile:
Amount of U-235 contained in Iran’s stockpile of low-enriched uranium: 97 kgAmount of this U-235 produced each month: 3.67 kgAmount of this U-235 required to fuel a first-generation implosion bomb: 21.6 kg 
Date by which Iran probably had stockpiled the above: December 2008 
Number of additional months needed to convert this low-enriched uranium to weapon-grade: From 3 to 12
Date by which Iran probably had enough U-235 to fuel a second bomb: December 2009 Date by which Iran probably had enough U-235 to fuel a third bomb: August 2010 Date by which Iran probably had enough U-235 to fuel a fourth bomb: April 2011
Timeline: Low-enriched to weapon-grade uranium:Amount of uranium hexafluoride (UF6) enriched to 3.5 percent U-235 now on hand: 4,105 kgAverage daily production rate of this low-enriched UF6: 5.1 kg
Amount of this low-enriched UF6 needed to produce a bomb’s worth of weapon-grade UF6: 914 kg 
Number of separative work units (SWUs) needed to accomplish the above: 840 Approximate number of first generation IR-1 centrifuges being fed with UF6 at the Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant, as of the last reported visit by IAEA inspectors: 5,860 Average number of SWUs each centrifuge appears to have produced over the past four months (a period that includes a production freeze): .8 Approximate number of centrifuges installed at Natanz as of the last reported visit by IAEA inspectors: 8,000 
Number of SWUs these 8,000 centrifuges could produce per year, based on their recent rate of production: 6,400 Number of months needed for these 8,000 centrifuges operating at such a capacity to produce the 840 SWUs theoretically needed to fuel a bomb: 1.5 The situation is serious. But there&apos;s nary a word spoken by the media or our government leaders. And shouldn&apos;t our national security be Priority One...since a debt ceiling or budget cuts...or even the Consumer Index means little when the nuclear dust settles?

Do we really want our leaders&apos; pooh-poohing to become our POOF! 

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Is America In Retreat?</title>
            <description>As the Chinese build up their Navy--the US has less than 300 active ships. And with more defense cuts on the way--it is looking rather ominous.

All of this begs the question: Is America in retreat?

            <title>This Is Not Surrender, It&apos;s Exposure</title>
            <description>A question has surfaced recently, with news that Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu&apos;s government verified it will accept resumed talks with Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, based on the 1949-1967 borders.

Has Bibi surrendered?

Not likely...

Despite all the speculation...and the fact that some may judge Netanyahu on his past behavior...I believe this is not a surrender to world (and especially US) pressure. But, rather a perspicacious plan to expose the liars that the Arab world is...

Bibi did not merely acquiesce to the PA&apos;s desires, he presented the concession as part of a package. Included in the package is the recognition of the Jewish State. 

Aaaahhh...are you seeing it now? This is essential...but Bibi knows...this will never be allowed to happen by the PA.

The majority of the PA is held by Hamas...duly elected by the &apos;Palestinian&apos; people. The most recent statement from their spokesman was as follows: &quot;The U.S. administration will fail, just as all others have in the past, in forcing Hamas to recognize Israel.&quot;

Oh, but that&apos;s not all...the PA has been planning a unilateral declaration of statehood in September, without negotiations. And the UN is thoughtful enough to help this effort along. They spilled the beans this week when they sent out a temporary list of speakers for the opening session of the General Assembly in September. They listed the speaker from &quot;Palestine&quot; as &quot;H.S.&quot; or Head of State. 

With their atrocious record on Israel, you didn&apos;t expect them to be unbiased or equitable, did you? 

I&apos;m choosing to give Bibi the benefit of the doubt. I believe it was a brilliant strategy. And it WILL expose, once again, the insidiousness of Israel&apos;s &apos;peace&apos; partners...and their venal little helpers.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>The UN: Making The Case For Its Own Demise</title>
            <description>From the U.N.’s Sex-For-Food scandal, to the Didier Bourguet pedophile scandal, to Ruud Lubbers sexual harassment scandal, to the Oil-For-Food scandal...the UN has shown a steady decline...into a moral abyss.
Every time the once-respected organization created a council (in recent years), it seemed like a bad SNL parody, except the cast of characters weren&apos;t as talented...and weren&apos;t acting.  The scandal-plagued entity has once again proven its time has come...and gone...and it&apos;s time to bring in the wrecking ball...

And yet...the disgraced body continues to accumulate scandals and absurd decisions...and the recent situation is par for their twisted course...

It&apos;s been reported that a North Korean defector and 28 advocacy groups, with Geneva-based UN Watch in the vanguard, are urging nations to protest Pyongyang’s chairmanship of the UN-backed Conference on Disarmament. This conference is the world’s sole multilateral forum on nuclear arms diplomacy. “Allowing an international outlaw to oversee international arms control efforts is just plain wrong,” advocacy group U.N. Watch’s director Hillel Neuer told reporters Tuesday in Geneva.
And UN Watch is spot on! The N. Korean regime are fiends. They are outlaws, indeed. They have lied and cheated concerning their own nuclear program (not to mention the atrocities they have delivered upon their own people, which goes to the condition and reliability of their character). Allowing them on the committee is initially absurd. But permitting them to be Chair? Complete and utter lunacy!!

But in recent years, lunacy appears to be endemic to many of those who wander the halls of the building at 2 United Nations Plaza, here in NYC.

Wait...Do I hear the whistling wind of the wrecking ball? 

If I don&apos;t, I should. We could use a nice park on the water...or perhaps a condo with shops to bring the city needed revenue...where that eyesore now stands. 

We could use something that blesses people, rather than the scandal-ridden, black hole that is sucking blood and treasure from a great nation...which is sliding, ever-so-slowly, into a socialist abyss.

The UN&apos;s behavior is making the case for its own demise. It&apos;s time for America to take the lead and pass final judgment. 

Because the average American has stuck a fork in them...

            <title>Mimicking Mohammed</title>
            <description>The term &quot;Islamic extremist&quot; used by Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (and others vitiated by politically correctness) simply means that the carnage perpetuated on 9/11 was carried out by 19 radicals who perverted the religion of &quot;peace.&quot;

This PC mindset belies the very fact that the 19 hijackers where following a violent and macabre paradigm set by the founder of Islam--Mohammed.

Mohammed (according to Islamic scholars) engaged in 72 military campaigns to propagate Islam via the sword. These campaigns (known as jihads) were savage endeavors which included the eradication of the Jewish tribe Quraiza following the Battle of the Trench. 

The Prophet&apos;s example (mimicked by the hijackers) was unequivocal: &quot;Death to the Infidel.&quot;

            <title>Norway: Lovers Of Truth Vs. Lovers Of Lies</title>
            <description>A good journalist, as can easily be agreed...gets information from many sources and double-checks the facts. But oddly enough...when info began to surface about the Norway terrorist, a lone Norwegian police officer opined that he thought Breivik (the fiend) was a &quot;fundamentalist Christian&quot;...an assessment based upon ZERO evidence. 

And the world media, in the most unprofessional manner possible, ran with and splashed the info across every outlet possible.

Now, that actual evidence proves otherwise, is it possible to take back the unjust and erroneous smear made upon Christianity? Is the mainstream media doing their darndest to retract that false accusation? 

Nope...

What appears, to the average observer, is that the global media is bigoted against Christians. Whatever happened to relying on facts? Does the fact that the doctrine of Christianity, according to the official book of record (the Bible), proves that Christianity...and it&apos;s true followers, are true people of peace and nonviolence? Was their rush to judgment due to their desire to promote moral equivalency where none is evidence? 

Since 9-11, over 17,500 deadly terror attacks have been carried out by Muslims worldwide. These attacks emanated from a doctrine of hatred and intolerance toward those who do not believe in Islam or its so-called prophet.

Has the media covered these terror events as thoroughly? Have they drawn immediate conclusions as to the terrorists ideology? In the few Islamic cases they could not ignore...they made contortionist moves to avoid the truth concerning the identity of the miscreants. Many people are still unaware of the religion of the Fort Hood terrorist...and not because there were no facts available.

Does anyone sense a love affair with lies, here?

If facts count...and I thought they did in a real world...there is a huge difference between the doctrine of Christianity and that of Islam. The words of the Bible dictate love, forgiveness, kindness and nonviolence toward those who do not believe in Jesus. Islam preaches the antithesis of that doctrine. So when an individual commits acts of violence and attempts to identify himself as a Christian, he is going against the words of the Bible. BUT...when a Muslim commits acts of violence, in the name of Islam...he is FOLLOWING the words of Muhammed.

That&apos;s night vs. day. That is truth vs. lies. 

To function in a real world, with real threats to real people...we must ALWAYS deal with truth. We must be lovers of truth...in the midst of lovers of lies...to survive.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Ignoring Iran&apos;s Nuclear Noose Around Freedom&apos;s Neck</title>
            <description>As time is passing quickly, and nothing has been done by the US to deter Iran from continuing their nuclear program, despite their consistent and rabid rhetoric concerning eradicating Israel and the West...it&apos;s critical for American citizens to plainly review cogent reasons WHY the US should actively stop Iran in its endeavors.

Here are a few to muse:
The development of these weapons would embolden Islamic militants globally, who would believe that this is a providential sign from their god, and that this zeal is part of the plan for ultimate victory over the infidels.
Iran’s militant surrogates would then be enabled to launch rocket attacks and engage in additional terror activities, protected by a nuclear umbrella. That&apos;s not just a danger to Israel, but to the entire world.
Iran will be able to threaten to use these weapons or to give them to terrorist agents of their own, or invent terror envoys.
Iran would pose a credible threat to an overwhelming part of the world’s oil supply.
Iran&apos;s possession of nuclear weapons would create a great shift in the balance of power in the region...the majority of Arab regimes are dead-set against Iran’s possession of nuclear weapons, because Iran has designs on their fiefdoms...and although they are not our staunch allies, their fear of losing what they have, keeps them solidly on our side.
Iran’s acquiring of nuclear weapons could spark a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. The peril that can ensue, globally, would be unthinkable.
It would be impossible for Israel to survive in a nuclear Middle East, dominated by a homicidal Iran.
It is crucial and in America&apos;s interest to avoid allowing an ally to be placed in a position where it is forced to take preemptive military action, in a tactical part of the world already as explosive as the Mideast. 

Our failure to act will be the beginning of the end of our great republic...the great American experiment...as well as freedom for those thirsting for liberty worldwide.

It&apos;s decision time...are we watching the clock?

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Obama And The Towering Turd</title>
            <description>In the great Debt Ceiling debate--President Obama has (yet again) demonstrated that he is a rigid, left-wing ideologue.

Why? Because in every syllable of towering rhetoric the Confiscator and Chief declares that tax increases are the only way to fix our ailing economy.

This convoluted logic spits in the face of historical reality. Tax reductions have been implemented four times since the 1920&apos;s--and in every case not only did the economy dramatically improve--but revenues to the federal government rose.

It seems that Obama&apos;s once towering rhetoric is now a towering turd.

            <title>Ellison: Misogynist Monster In Moderate Clothing</title>
            <description>&quot;We live in an era of extremism...These same people who want to shrink government until you can drown it in a bathtub also want mom to get back in the kitchen and to take her shoes off and get pregnant...They’re offended by strong powerful women. Here’s the sad part: some of them are women themselves — Michele Bachmann could be an example.&quot; Keith Ellison at his July 6th address to the 2011 Campus Progress National Conference in Washington, D.C.

If there&apos;s one thing that can NEVER be said about the religion/ideology of Islam: It loves and respects women.

After such a bold statement by Ellison, I think we must take a little look at Mr. Ellison first, and then we&apos;ll look at the validity of his statement on Rep. Bachmann...

Ellison:
Fulfilled one of the Five Pillars of Islam (Hajj), sponsored by the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), by way of their US front group the Muslim American Society. The amount? $13,350. The MB is dedicated to the spread of Sharia worldwide. Sharia is a death-sentence for women.&lt;br /&gt;
Spent President&apos;s Day in 2009 speaking at Qatar University’s College of Sharia and Islamic Studies, in Qatar. (Ostensibly respecting Sharia over his country.)
Is a master of Taqiyyah (lying for the sake of Islam), his disgracefully-weepy and completely histrionic performance in front of King&apos;s Islamic Radicalization hearings in March, where his paltered about one man on 9/11 saving people and being persecuted because he was Muslim (and if that was an audition, get the hook).
Is a sweetheart of the Saudis, whom he visited in April of this year and stated &quot;we have common interests and aspirations.&quot; (Really? Which ones are those...the amputations, beheadings, wife-beatings, worldwide Ummah, the spread of Sharia? I wish he was more specific.) (By the way, on his trip to Saudi Arabia, Ellison also said, My focus is on people-to-people contacts.&quot; I think we had enough of their interpersonal relationships on 9/11.)
Ellison clearly supports entities whose stated purpose is to spread Sharia globally...which means he too supports that agenda. THAT is misogynist in itself.
How DARE he open his pie-whole, concerning woman&apos;s rights, with just the smidgeon revealed above? He should be glad women don&apos;t form a posse and hang him from his testicular audacity.

Now let&apos;s look at the facts about Rep. Bachmann:
She graduated from William &amp; Mary School of Law in 1988, when she received her LL.M. Degree in Tax Law.
She worked as an attorney for the IRS.
She started a successful counseling business, with her husband, called Bachmann &amp; Associates.
She&apos;s had an active and poignant political career since 1976. 
She had 5 children with her husband and provided foster care for 23 troubled children.
I&apos;m sorry...where was the &quot;back in the kitchen and to take her shoes off and get pregnant&quot; part? 

With these few facts, Ellison&apos;s comments have revealed he&apos;s either out of Prozac (and that&apos;s being kind), or he&apos;s a filthy misogynist, who loathes women so much that he has to spin lies about them when they are bold enough to think outside the burqa.

I think what Mr. Ellison needs, as condign punishment for his paltering, is to spend an entire month...as a woman...in an arranged marriage...in a full Burqa...in Saudi Arabia...under Sharia Law.

And according to him and his brethren...what&apos;s not to love?

Shalom through strength...

            <description>If President Obama truly cared about jobs--he would do the following: Allow off-shore drilling levels in the Gulf of Mexico to return to normal levels.

By doing so (according to a recent study) would create over 430,000 jobs.

But our Greenie in Chief refuses to do such a thing--proving once again that he is nothing more than a draconian ideologue.

            <title>Providence Gives The People South Sudan, Should &apos;Palestinians&apos; Expect The Same?</title>
            <description>&quot;This is something that the people of the South have been praying for for many, many years. After 2 million people died, this is an answer to prayer. We thank God for the support, we thank God for answered prayer, and we thank God that He’s given the South an opportunity to rise up from the ashes and to build a new nation.&quot; --Franklin Graham, Samaritan&apos;s Purse

Free at last, free at last, the Christian Sudanese are free at last. Since 1989 when Bashir took over the Sudanese  government in a coup...and the barbarian attack of Muslims in the North, upon Christians in the South, became centralized...the persecuted Christian community has prayed and longed for peace.

But unlike the barbaric bully tactics of the &apos;Palestinians&apos; on Israeli land, the Sudanese in the South negotiated an agreement with the North...initiated by President Bush...to have a State of their own.

Killing innocents, revising history, breaching agreements and generally teaching your young to hate their neighbor won&apos;t get you anything good, no less a State.

The PA is already whining that the Sudanese have a State, what about us? Let me see...with everything stated above (which are facts)...they&apos;re lucky small tactical nuclear weapons aren&apos;t dropped upon them. 

There ain&apos;t no comparison here, Abbas, so as we say in NYC, fugetaboutit!!

Our nation needs to focus on helping this fledgling country build a solid military to protect their citizens from the monster Muslim regime in the North (who, by the way, have slaughtered 2 million defenseless Christian Sudanese).

South Sudan is on their way to a wonderful new life...but, as we know with the miscreants left in a corrupt world...and to their North...they will need a strong military to thrive and flourish!

Shalom through strength...

            <description>OIB agonizes over whether the Islamic Republic of Iran will ever receive its condign punishment (get its ass kicked) for all of the unhinged savagery it has perpetrated on our great nation.

From the Marine Barracks in Beirut to Kohbar Towers in Saudi Arabia to the killing of our troops in both Afghanistan and Iraq--the Crazed Clerics of Persia have shed much innocent American blood.

One can only hope that as Iran marches (seemingly unabated) towards nuclear capability that some world leader will finally don a pair of balls and confront this hyper-nefarious nation.

            <title>Hezbollah Indicted: Waiting For The Blowback</title>
            <description>They did it...the Shia terrorist group that is supported by Syria and funded and controlled by Iran...is indicted (and guilty) for the assassination of Lebanese PM Rafiq Hariri. 

Nothing new here...the indictments named 4 members of the terrorist group/political party Hezbollah, including one of its top military commanders. You&apos;d have to have the IQ of a grapefruit in order to get this one wrong...

OK...let&apos;s backtrack for a moment. Rafiq&apos;s son, Saad, was running the country and sadly, surrendered the Lebanese government to Hezbollah earlier this year. But that, apparently, is not all the terror group wanted. I&apos;m sure they assumed they had enough clout with the UN and that all the way in NYC, the little UN Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) would NEVER dream of indicting them now that they basically ran Lebanon.

Aww...disappointment is a...well, you know...

Prior to Saad&apos;s pathetic departure as PM...Hezbollah promised it would retaliate if any of its members were indicted in his father&apos;s assassination. 

So now that 4 of their members have been charged in the crime...will they strike back? Since violence is their forte, most likely, yes.

But seriously, what did the Lebanese people, who voted this jihadist entity into the majority, think would happen? Did they think by giving Hezbollah power, that would satisfy them? If they did, they were fools. They have simply empowered this Sharia-bent monster...and the Lebanese will rue the day they cast that vote...

Now we wait for the blowback...

Shalom through strength...

            <description>Imagine the flotilla (which is heading towards Israel in an attempt to break the Gaza blockade--thus jeopardizing Israel&apos;s national security) is suddenly sent to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea by the IDF.

Oh--how the anti-Semites would mourn.

Oh--how the rest of us would rejoice!

            <title>Flotilla: The Hounds Of Hell Hang Ten</title>
            <description>It&apos;s about to happen again...like the yearly flu bug, hordes of hateful pests (1,000 pro-Palestinian activists hailing from 22 countries, to be exact) are set to hop on barges to break a legal blockade of Gaza. 

An innocent, freedom-loving lot they&apos;re not. They hail from leftist, communist-fawning enclaves...seeking to aid their fellow enemies of the Jewish State, while most of the world sits by idly yawning and swatting at this evil ilk as though they were gadflies.

Some cold, hard facts about the &quot;Freedom Flotilla II – Stay Human&quot; (partial list):
Organized by the Cyprus-based Free Gaza Movement (FGM), a wide variety of European Palestinian solidarity organizations and Insani Yardim Vakfi (IHH), a Turkish charity with close ties to Hamas. 
Among the flotilla members is an American delegation called &quot;U.S. To Gaza.&quot; The group plans to send one boat with a total of 50 individuals, several of whom are Jewish anti-Zionists, including CODEPINK founder Medea Benjamin, Holocaust survivor Hedy Epstein and Yonatan Shapira, an Israeli &quot;conscientious objector.&quot; Alice Walker, a prominent author, is also planning to participate in the U.S. boat, which has been named “The Audacity of Hope.”
Presently, the following boats are part of the flotilla: The Audacity of Hope (involved in lawsuit)
The Rachel Corrie (named after an anti-Jewish &apos;martyr&apos;, who was a member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM)*)
The Challenger I
The Challenger II 
The Gazze
The Tali 
The Arion
The Sfendoni (Boat 8000)
The Tamara (Eleftheri Mesoghios)
The Seven Y Two (Irene)
The Finch
The Tahrir
The Stefano Chirianni
A West Coast-based group called The Free Palestine Movement plans to send a handful of activists, including the co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), Paul Larudee. 
The blockade on Gaza after the Hamas takeover in June 2007, was a result of the continual barrage of rockets targeting Israeli civilians and the kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit...AND is completely legal. A major fact conveniently left out by the major media. 

This is a provocation of grand scale...and any sane individual...or nation...would do whatever Israel subsequently does, in order to protect its citizens.

Something we should vociferously defend...if we stand on the side of truth and liberty...

Shalom through strength...


*The ISM is a high profile, anti-Israel group. ISM takes a 3-pronged approach against Israel. 1) It organizes “non-violent” resistance in the Territories to obstruct Israel&apos;s counter-terrorism measures. 2) It publicizes Israel’s misdeeds in the world media. 3) It arranges speaking tours, lectures and events on campuses and in communities across America. It&apos;s a propaganda tool for the Palestinians in order to dramatize the &quot;brutality&quot; and &quot;illegality&quot; of Israel’s origin, &quot;occupation&quot; and counter-terrorism policies.

            <title>Shin Bet Proves: Their Neighbor IS The Terrorist Next Door</title>
            <description>The 5th Anniversary of Gilad Shalit&apos;s kidnapping by the Hamas terror group in June 2006, has just passed. And Hamas (the majority of the &apos;Palestinian&apos; government voted so by their people), and their ilk, has no intention of changing their strategy...more kidnappings and NO release of Shalit. 

How &apos;neighborly&apos; of those vying to be Israel&apos;s best-buds next-door.

Israel is not a sitting duck...Shin Bet (in English, Israel Security Agency [ISA]) is, as always, on the job. They have arrested 2 dozen Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) operatives operating terrorist cells near Jerusalem. 

They (PFLP) were planning on kidnapping IDF soldiers, shootings and bombings. I&apos;m sorry, did I miss a Welcome Wagon memo?

A little background on the terror group...

The PFLP was established on December 11, 1967, 6 months after the Six Day War. PFLP’s founder was George Habash, a socialist who was previously a member of the group “Oppose to Political Settlement with Israel.” Habash viewed the destruction of Israel (which he referred to as the “liberation of Palestine&quot;) as an vital part of the world Communist revolution. PFLP joined the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), in 1968, and quickly became its second-largest faction (following Yasser Arafat&apos;s Fatah faction); but unlike Fatah, which sought support from Arab nations, PFLP looked to Russia and China for assistance.

Now we understand China and Russia throwing their support for a &apos;Palestinian&apos; State...

This bust by Shin Bet again demonstrates that those who claim a desire to be a friendly next-door neighbor to the Jewish State, are in fact, a hostile foe chomping at the bit for Israel&apos;s demise. And they will join any similar entity, in order to accomplish their goal: Making Israel a Jew-Free Muslim enclave...from which Islam&apos;s intolerance and hatred can emanate throughout the world.

Just more of the stuff that a &apos;Palestinian&apos; State is made of.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Seems The Sodomites Are Running The Asylum</title>
            <description>Contrary to liberal drivel same sex marriage is not about &quot;equality&quot;--but rather approval.

Homosexuals (who average between 10-20 partners a year) are not interested in marriage. Instead--what they are truly interested in is government (both local and federal) placing its stamp of approval on a behavior most Americans deem highly abhorrent and immoral.

And by the federal government abrogating DADT--and local governments signing off on same sex marriage--gays are getting exactly what they&apos;ve wanted for decades: Government approval.

Seems the sodomites are running the asylum.

            <title>Mr. Oz On Israel: Wizard Of Fiction, Not Possessor Of Facts</title>
            <description>&quot;A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.&quot;  --Marcus Tullius Cicero

Peace...a most often elusive concept. Merriam-Webster defines &apos;peace&apos; as a state of tranquility or quiet; freedom from civil disturbance; a state of security or order within a community. This is a concept and state of being that Israel and the Jewish people have desired for centuries. 

But to this day...it remains elusive. And this is thanks in part to a self-serving, and in some cases a hateful lot found globally. But the most loathsome of these are the enemies within the Jewish State.

One of these organized groups is known as Israel&apos;s Peace Now. A group of clueless misinformed (and disinformed) individuals who either out of ignorance of how the world works...or out of a deep-seated disdain for their own countrymen...use their resources and influence to pressure Israel to literally surrender to its enemies. 

I consider such individuals, traitors...

One of these &apos;peace&apos; activists is Amos Oz, one of Israel’s leading writers, novelists, social critics, and an active member in the Israeli peace movement, concluded, in a NY Times op-ed that &quot;the only way for Israel to edge out Hamas would be to quickly reach an agreement with the Palestinians on the establishment of an independent state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as defined by the 1967 borders, with its capital in East Jerusalem&quot;...and that Israel &quot;has to sign a peace agreement with President Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah government in the West Bank...and by doing so, reduce the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to a conflict between Israel and the Gaza Strip.&quot;

My question to this &apos;learned&apos; man: Was it dark living under that rock all those years?

Now, if Mr. Oz is indeed as intelligent as one might assume...upon what is he drawing his conclusions and formulating his solution for peace? It appears there is a vacuum of knowledge in the area of the &apos;Palestinians&apos; actions towards innocent Israeli civilians. And the charters and vows made and remaining untouched, that call for the elimination of the Jewish State. 

So what info or, pray tell, what Intel is Mr. Oz privy to that causes him to insist upon the Israelis giving up more of their land? 

How can such a gifted man BE so gosh darn dense? The facts are there for a feeble-minded man to see...how is it that such a clever man is unable to discern truth from fiction?

The empirical evidence sides with PM Bibi Netanyahu and those who desire peace and freedom. That is the unadulterated truth.

Mr. Oz insists upon a contract between Israel and half the PA. But in order to have an agreement between two parties, each party must agree the other has a right to exist. Israel agrees...the &apos;Palestinians&apos; do not. Without that, an agreement of any kind is futile.

Oh, by the way...the stated &apos;intelligent&apos; attribute I gave Mr. Oz is dubious...Oz has been known to show support for terrorist mastermind Marwan Barghouti, to whom he gave a copy of his book &quot;A Tale of Love and Darkness&quot; accompanied by a friendly message, according to Channel 2 (Israel). Oz wrote a personal note conveying hope that Barghouti, who is serving multiple life sentences in jail for several murders, will be released soon. Barghouti is serving 5 life sentences for murdering Israeli women and children. 

I would ordinarily say, &quot;What a putrid putz&quot; here, but I&apos;m being cordial...

With all due respect to Mr. Oz...he should stick to fiction. It&apos;s his obvious forte and where his mind is most assuredly at peace.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>As Long As They Support Infanticide</title>
            <description>Feminist organizations across America remained reticent during the Weinergate conflagration. They failed to proffer even the slightest public condemnation for the lewd and misogynistic behavior displayed by a demonstrable pervert.

Why? Well the answer is very simple: Democrats like Weiner could stand in the window during the Macy&apos;s Thanksgiving Day Parade (with &quot;package&quot; in hand) and not receive a single rebuke from fems because THEY RABIDLY SUPPORT ABORTION ON DEMAND.

In the final analysis: Feminists will ignore the most abhorrent acts perpetrated on women as long as the perp [politician] supports unfettered infanticide.

            <title>Unilateral &apos;Palestinian&apos; State: A Slippery Slope For Friends</title>
            <description>The summer has unofficially begun...but there are those longing for September already. It&apos;s not retailers looking for pre-holiday sales. But rather a ginormous anti-Israel organization looking to make a move that will endanger every sovereign nation on earth...

This September the PA (Palestinian Authority), backed by the Arab League and more than a hundred other countries, will try to have &apos;Palestine&apos; declared as a state based on the &apos;1967 borders&apos;.

The Jerusalem Center For Public Affairs (JCPA) published an open letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon (and signed by a plethora of international jurists and lawyers), which states several reasons a unilateral declaration would be illegal. Here are a few of those points:

1. The legal basis for the establishment of the State of Israel was the resolution unanimously adopted by the League of Nations in 1922, affirming the establishment of a national home for the Jewish People in the historical area of the Land of Israel. This included the areas of Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem, and close Jewish settlement throughout. This was subsequently affirmed by both houses of the U.S. Congress.

2. Article 80 of the UN Charter determines the continued validity of the rights granted to all states or peoples, or already existing international instruments (including those adopted by the League of Nations). Accordingly, the above-noted League resolution remains valid, and the 650,000 Jews presently resident in the areas of Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem reside there legitimately.

3. &quot;The 1967 borders&quot; do not exist, and have never existed. The 1949 Armistice Agreements entered into by Israel and its Arab neighbors, establishing the Armistice Demarcation Lines, clearly stated that these lines “are without prejudice to future territorial settlements or boundary lines or to claims of either Party relating thereto.” Accordingly, they cannot be accepted or declared to be the international boundaries of a Palestinian state.

4. UN Security Council Resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973) called upon the parties to achieve a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and specifically stressed the need to negotiate in order to achieve “secure and recognized boundaries.”

These are critical facts. NOT merely for the Jewish State, but for all members states of the UN.

If a sovereign nation is robbed of its land, by other member states, who can say what nation will be next? If the UN can choose to selectively violate its own charter and resolutions, then what nation is safe?

It&apos;s time for the &apos;Battle of the Bullies&apos; against Israel to end (funny that those who are for a ban on bullies, have no problem bullying the tiny Jewish nation). 

Israel is a sovereign nation who has compromised beyond reason and surrendered more than its so-called peace partners. It&apos;s time for the PA to put up or shut up. It&apos;s time for Israel&apos;s &apos;allies&apos;, like the US...to cease the arm-twisting to please Muslim nations. Who, by the way, not only loathe the Jewish State...but would love to see us go POOF!

The American people overwhelmingly support Israel...this administration does not. Here&apos;s a madcap concept: How about the elected actually represent the electorate?

In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: &quot;The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a friend is to be one.&quot;

Let&apos;s be one, again, to Israel...

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Coming Back To Bite Barry In His Audacious Tukis</title>
            <description>The thing that bothers me the most about narcissists is, it&apos;s always about them. They are the center of importance, the center of all situations, the center of all discussions. The center of the universe, if possible. It&apos;s a god-complex. 

THAT can be a problem when attempting to mediate a conflict. A narcissist wants the first word. The last word. And EVERY word in-between. 

I believe the recent ultimatum that President Obama gave to the Israeli PM Binyamin &apos;Bibi&apos; Netanyahu concerning the 1967 armistice lines, is stunningly reminiscent of a scene from Malice (1993), in which the Dr., played by Alec Baldwin, revealed his god-complex to the courtroom:

&quot;I have an M.D. from Harvard, I am board certified in cardio-thoracic medicine and trauma surgery, I have been awarded citations from seven different medical boards in New England, and I am never, ever sick at sea.
&quot;So I ask you; when someone goes into that chapel and they fall on their knees and they pray to God that their wife doesn’t miscarry or that their daughter doesn’t bleed to death or that their mother doesn’t suffer acute neural trauma from postoperative shock, who do you think they’re praying to?

&quot;Now, go ahead and read your Bible.. and go to your church, and, with any luck, you might win the annual raffle — but if you’re looking for God, he was in operating room number two on November 17, and he doesn’t like to be second guessed.

&quot;You ask me if I have a God complex. Let me tell you something: I am God.&quot;

Now, Omnipotent Obama&apos;s disdain for Bibi and the Jewish State has been apparent numerous times since his arrival in the Oval Office. His recent &apos;tolerance&apos; of the Israeli PM was a painful task for Obama (as could be seen on his visage), during Bibi&apos;s recent visit to Washington. But Obama&apos;s desire to be re-elected overrode his hatred long enough to choke up a few disingenuous pro-Israel expressions at AIPAC...and keep his lips pursed, as Bibi instructed him in front of world cameras.

But alas...Barry&apos;s silence has met a timely demise...

I do believe Barry&apos;s favorite word is coming back to bite him in his audacious tukis. When he insisted that peace talks must include Israel&apos;s agreement to return to 1967 lines, Bibi said: &quot;Thanks for the advice, but no thanks.&quot;

Barry became perturbed...

Imagine the audacity of a Jewish leader refusing to acquiesce to Barry&apos;s demands upon an autonomous nation? The audacity of an Israeli insisting Barry&apos;s plan is unacceptable and ineffectual? 

According to Ha&apos;aretz, Washington is pressuring Israel to comply with its proposal to resume Israeli-Palestinian peace talks on the basis of Obama&apos;s May 19 speech...or 1967 lines. But Bibi is frustrating Obama because he refuses to do so. David Hale, temporarily replacing George Mitchell (the U.S. special envoy) has said, &quot;Instead of helping us, he&apos;s (Bibi) making it harder for us.&quot;

Oh, I see...Bibi refusing to put his nation in utter peril, by returning to indefensible borders, is frustrating for Barry...but not the interminable rocket attacks upon innocent Israeli citizens, or the daily attempts by &apos;Palestinian&apos; suicide bombers...no problem with any of that...

Washington&apos;s exasperation began with Netanyahu&apos;s trip to Washington last month, when he publicly differed with Obama (which took righteous chutzpah) and then declined to support the president&apos;s outline for talks, in an address to Congress. 

Well, Mr. President...buck up and no hissy fits...because there&apos;s a boatload of frustration coming your way. That&apos;s what happens when you do exactly what you stated was not our place to do: Interfere in other countries affairs.

So giving Israel an ultimatum isn&apos;t covered under that? Okee Dokee...

Well, 1967 lines are undoable, Barry. You can bully the spineless, the politically correct and even those plagued with white guilt. But you will continue to be unsuccessful to intimidate the nation who has been our stalwart ally and faithful friend in the Middle East since 1948...and those who are the true owners of the Holy Land...

...and they DON&apos;T don keffiyehs.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Iran And The Ubiquitous Woody</title>
            <description>The Punks of Persia love a good distraction--even if it comes in the form of a narcissistic congressman and his ubiquitous woody. It seems that while every newspaper and political pundit are hyper-fixated on Anthony Weiner&apos;s &quot;weapon&quot;--Iran is getting ever closer to developing the ultimate weapon: a nuclear bomb.

According to a just released study conducted by the Rand Corp.--Iran will have 9o% of the enriched uranium it needs to produce a nuclear weapon by summer&apos;s end.

Although I agree that Anthony Weiner should resign--this highly disquieting and undeniably ominous news concerning Tehran&apos;s lethal ambitions should supersede the sorry tale of &quot;A Boy And His Boner.&quot;

            <title>Until The Region Is Jew-Free</title>
            <description>It is the pinnacle of absurdness when a nation stridently demands that its valued ally strike a peace accord with a group that contrives to annihilate it.

The Palestinians will never put down their arms until the region is Jew-free.

And that&apos;s a fact.

            <title>Jerusalem: Time To Declare Its Eternality</title>
            <description>&quot;For three thousand years, Jerusalem has been the center of Jewish hope and longing. No other city has played such a dominant role in the history, culture, religion and consciousness of a people as has Jerusalem in the life of Jewry and Judaism. Throughout centuries of exile, Jerusalem remained alive in the hearts of Jews everywhere as the focal point of Jewish history, the symbol of ancient glory, spiritual fulfillment and modern renewal. This heart and soul of the Jewish people engenders the thought that if you want one simple word to symbolize all of Jewish history, that word would be &apos;Jerusalem.&apos;&quot;  — Teddy Kollek, Jerusalem, (DC: Washington Institute For Near East Policy, 1990), pp. 19-20.
In 1783, the US Congress decided to create a new capital apart from any state, and in 1787 the framers of the Constitution provided for a capital district. Washington D.C. became the new capital on July 16, 1790. By our nation&apos;s choice...

Under the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066), London became the capital of England. By that nation&apos;s choice...

On Sept. 20, 1870, the Italian army marched into the city, and on July 2, 1871, Victor Emmanuel himself entered Rome, from that time the capital of the kingdom of Italy. By that nation&apos;s choice...

There are 195 Independent Countries on earth that have chosen their own capital city/cities. No other country has dictated or imposed a capital city, against their will. They have done so autonomously. All except one nation...

The Jewish State of Israel.

Though Israel had its rebirth in 1948, it was not until 1980 that the Knesset passed a Basic Law, reinforcing the fact that Jerusalem was Israel&apos;s capital. A reasonable sounding decree. But not to the world community...it was followed up by a UN Security Council Resolution (478), which declared the law a violation of international law, and stated that the Council will not recognize this law. 

The resolution passed unanimously, 14 to none, with 1 abstention: The US. A craven position for our nation to take...but no surprise when you realize it was done under Jimmy Dhimmi Carter...

Then in 1995, the 104th Congress passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act...which a majority of Americans supported. The Act&apos;s purpose was to initiate the funding for the relocation of the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, no later than May 31, 1999. Sadly, presidents, Clinton, Bush (W) and Obama lack/lacked the spine to follow through. 

A shandeh un a charpeh (A shame and a disgrace) upon our nation. 

Now a well-meaning Congress has again attempted to bring forth a new Act (Jerusalem Embassy and Recognition Act of 2011) H.R.1006. It states that it is U.S. policy: (1) to recognize Jerusalem as the undivided capital of the State of Israel; and (2) that the U.S. Embassy in Israel should be established in Jerusalem not later than January 1, 2013.

Sadly, this is facing intractable opposition from Obama.

Here are the critical questions: What will it take for a US president to garner the testicular fortitude to allow the Jewish State, a sovereign nation, to declare their own capital? What leader will stand up (on our behalf) and be the loyal friend we insist we are, by moving our embassy to the eternal city?

Because to continue to do nothing to aid our friends in their proclamation of sovereignty...will be a stain upon our collective character, as leaders of the free world, interminably.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Pecker Heads And Phonies</title>
            <description>I thought female Democrats were supposed to be tenacious,
outspoken feminists? You know--a gaggle of ferocious babes who take no sh*t from the male of the species.

Yet with every passing sex scandal involving a male married to a Fem-Dem, these so-called feminists cover for their husbands&apos; inability to control the BULGE by either blaming it on some vast right wing conspiracy--or standing submissively by Mr. &apos;Johnson&apos; at every press conference.

Let&apos;s face it--if they were true feminists--they would publicly denounce these pecker heads (and their sundry skanks) and file for divorce, ASAP.

Phonies, all!

            <description>For all the talk about New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie&apos;s intrepid and hyper-candid approach to fiscal issues--he is a shriveled wiener when it comes to the all important issue of Islamo-thuggery.

When Homeland Security attempted to deport Islamic Center of Passaic County&apos;s Imam Mohammed Qatanani (who openly admitted to being a member of Hamas)--then gubernatorial candidate Christie rushed to his aid.

In fact--the rotund Republican stridently declared that Qatanani was &quot;a man of great goodwill.&quot;

So--now we know the following: The most popular, courageous and sought after personality in the GOP openly (and unabashedly) bestowed accolades on an admitted member of Hamas.

WTF!

            <title>Killing Kafir Kiddies: Islam Says No Prob</title>
            <description>&quot;Children are the living messages we send to a time 
we will not see.&quot; -- John W. Whitehead

Children are a precious commodity. They are indeed our future...and in a Judeo Christian society...we understand that enough to make an effort to protect them from harm.

But do those in Muslim society...according to the Quran...hold children to the same standard of value? 

Well, based upon the empirical evidence: No!

According to the founder of Islam, Muhammed, children are property to be used for pleasure (he married a 6 yr old girl and consummated the marriage when she was age 9), or as a weapon (suicide-bombers) against the kafir (unbelievers). 

But, as the late PM of Israel, Golda Meir (Israeli Founder and Prime Minister 1898-1978), once said: &quot;We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.&quot;

They not only hate their children, but they hate kiddies of the kafir. The following is from The Book of Jihad and Expedition:

     Book 019, Number 4321:
It is reported on the authority of Sa&apos;b b. Jaththama that the Prophet of Allah (may peace be upon him), when asked about the women and children of the polytheists being killed during the night raid, said: They are from them.
     Book 019, Number 4322:
It is narrated by Sa&apos;b b. Jaththama that he said (to the Holy Prophet): Messenger of Allah, we kill the children of the polytheists during the night raids. He said: They are from them.
     Book 019, Number 4323:
Sa&apos;b b. Jaththama has narrated that the Prophet (may peace be upon him) asked: What about the children of polytheists killed by the cavalry during the night raid? He said: They are from them.
Three times: &quot;They are from them&quot;...children of the kafir are worthless. How charming...

In every attack today, always targeting civilians...with children in the midst...followers of Muhammed seek, NOT peace but violence. And their intent is NOT to have discourse, but to destroy all those who do not worship Allah and his prophet (hellfire be upon him).

The passages above refer to events hundreds of years ago. But Muhammed would be thrilled to know that his disciples are following carefully in his gory footsteps. From the rape and murder of the children of Beslan, Russia to the slaughter of the Fogel children of Itamar, Israel...the sycophants of the monster Muhammed continue to murder the most defenseless in the world.

Especially the kiddies of the kafir...

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Mad Musings</title>
            <description>The following explicitly demonstrates that Harold Camping is a lying bastard: &quot;No one knows the day or the hour...&quot; Matthew 24:36


By granting &quot;Get The Hell Out Of ObamaCare&quot; waivers to some of the nation&apos;s most powerful unions (who happened to donate over $400 million to the Democrat Party during the 2008 election) the Administration is flouting the most basic tenet of the Rule of Law: That it must apply equally to all citizens.


The next time a liberal (or some puke politico) purports that Islam is a religion of &quot;peace&quot; and &quot;tolerance&quot;--tell him a simply way to test his theory is to stand on a street corner in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia holding a Bible in one hand and a bag of pork rinds in the other while singing &quot;What A Friend We Have In Jesus.&quot;

            <title>Our Pressure On Israel: Incredible Stupidity Or Pure Evil?</title>
            <description>Let me ask you a question...if Canada was lobbing an average of 6.3 mortars and rockets a day on our civilian population, simply because they wanted our land and would like to see us dead, would we negotiate with them in a diplomatic manner? Or would we acquiesce to the pressure of so-called friends to give up more of our land to Canada in order to secure more of the imaginary peace we received the last time we gave our land for peace? 

Then why do we [US] continue our deleterious campaign of pressure on Israel? 

The Jewish State has had to endure daily bombings (6.3 mortars and rockets a day) of their civilian population since they gave the Palestinian Authority (PA) the Gaza strip (and there&apos;s nary a peep from the media). They have thwarted more attacks than can be imagined (but you&apos;ll never hear a Wah-Wah chorus emanating out of them, as you do from Muslims when their mere feelings are hurt). 

Now, since I have been able to obtain this simple  information concerning the violent actions of &apos;Palestinians&apos; against innocent Jewish civilians, surely the US government has access to it, as well. And if they had bothered to at least glance at the facts on the ground (and the rockets in the air), they would realize that the PA is no partner for peace. 

Another clue to the PA&apos;s true intentions can easily be observed by giving a listen to the daily rhetoric on PA TV or Radio. Their mouths are frothing with hatred toward the Jews...counting the days until they push them into the sea (with the US giving the first shove). 

What, we need an interpreter for this??

Honestly, what will it take for us to get it? What more evidence is necessary for us to grasp the understanding that there will be no peace with a people [&apos;Palestinians&apos;] that are bent on the destruction of their neighbors [Jews] for merely existing (I think we call that genocide)? 

Our inability to comprehend this situation either speaks of our incredible stupidity concerning the facts...OR, an underlying diabolical agenda by loathsome leaders who wear a grin like a second skin and ignore the desire of the American people, who overwhelmingly support the Jewish State.

Whether purposeful or not, our persistent coercion will ultimately be to the detriment of Israel...as well as ourselves. 

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Insidious 180 And A Rat&apos;s Ass</title>
            <description>Where does President Barack Obama stand on the issue of Jerusalem?

Let&apos;s take a look: In 2008, then presidential candidate Obama stated the following: &quot;Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided.&quot; But, shortly after his election--he emphatically demanded that the Jewish State freeze all new construction in the eastern part of the city.

This insidious 180 explicitly demonstrates that Obama doesn&apos;t give a rat&apos;s ass about honoring his promise concerning Jerusalem.

In fact--if he had his druthers--he&apos;d turn the City of David into a prayer mat.

            <title>The Devil Wears Keffiyeh</title>
            <description>From it&apos;s rebirth in 1948, to the present, the tiny Jewish State has been viciously and hatefully attacked by the surrounding Muslim/Arab countries. Broken agreements, attacks on Jewish civilians, revisionist history...and...

Lies, lies, lies...

But innocent paltering, this is not. These are carefully crafted fabrications that aim at eliminating Jews from their property...and, if they had their druthers: Jews from the earth. 
They are a clever and determined lot, those Muslims. Despite their long history of failure:
They failed to exterminate the Jews despite their help in developing the &apos;Final Solution&apos; for Adolf Hitler.
They failed to prevent the rebirth of Israel by their botched attack by SS-trained Muslims, Feb. 1, 1948, on the Palestine Post.
They failed again even with the Ben Yehuda Street Bombing (Feb. 22, 1948) carried out by SS-trained Muslims and 2 British mercenary deserters Brown and Madison (who earlier participated in the Palestine Post Bombing).
They again failed despite the bombing of the Haganah headquarters (Mar. 11, 1948), a group created to protect the Jewish Yishuv (settlement) from Arab riots and violence.
They even failed in attacking the nascent Jewish state the day after the 1948 Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel was made at the UN.
From November 1947 to May 14, 1948 alone...Muslim Arabs attacked innocent Jews approximately 72 times to prevent the Jewish people from again possessing their land.

And the violence, motivated by hate, has never ceased toward the Jewish State. 

Who holds to this ideology and who are their supporters? 

It&apos;s quite easy to spot them. You can see them in the streets of Gaza and the West Bank. On the streets of Europe, in cafes and bistros. In the US at Hollywood hangouts. On the most Liberal campuses across America. Anywhere elitists congregate. Especially boarding the terrorist Gaza Flotilla. They don a scarf of white cotton cloth, which has a checkered pattern in red or black stitched into it. It&apos;s called a Keffiyeh. Wearing it shows solidarity with the minions of mendacity, and lovers of hate. The pretend people that the late (thank G-d) Yasser Arafat used to gain his fortune (now being enjoyed by his pretend wife). This faux people group? The &apos;Palestinians&apos;.

They are not known by their love...but rather, like the Devil, by their hate. 

And the Devil wears Keffiyeh.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Islam: The Religion Of Piece[s]</title>
            <description>In the year 622 AD (on a hill just outside of Mecca) a demonically charismatic leader commanded his followers that (from this day forward) war will be waged on those who reject my word (Sira,p.208).

This draconian command--issued by the Prophet Muhammad--unleashed a tsunami of violence that (to this day) is literally unparalleled in world history.

From the eradication of the Jewish tribe of Quraiza (at the hands of the Prophet himself) to the Armenian Genocide to the Final Solution to the Sudanese Genocide to 9/11 and beyond--Islam has cut a swath of profound misery that is forever etched in the psyche of mankind.

            <title>Must Be Completely Removed</title>
            <description>Israel represents the only real hope in the Middle East.

Why? Because it is a thriving and prosperous democracy that is constructed on the immutable Judeo-Christian philosophy that &quot;all men are created equal.&quot;

So, instead of trying to destroy the Jewish State--perhaps its neighbors should try to emulate it?

But in order for this to occur--the virulence (which produces such blatant acrimony and barbarity in the region) must be completely removed: And that virulence is ISLAM.

            <title>From NY To Timbuktu: It&apos;s Not A Lavatory Plea, It&apos;s A War Cry</title>
            <description>Since September 2001, Westerners in NYC and around the globe, have become familiar with an expression shrieked before some of the most barbaric acts of our time: Allahu Akbar!

The Arabic expression for &quot;Allah is greatest!&quot; (Considering the barbaric acts committed following the cry, one must wonder at what is Allah the greatest?)

And, of course, the Islamic apologists have been spinning their paltering wheels fast and furious trying to separate the solid connection between terror and Islam. Calling the actors in their Islamic plays, &apos;misunderstanders&apos; of Islam. And  when the majority of acts point to Islam and the Quran...then the perps are merely &apos;hijackers&apos; of the ideology.

Well, up until recently, the ignorance of many in the West...you know, all us kafir/kuffar (infidels)...these lies have been swallowed whole. But the most recent excuse is so absurd, it&apos;s insulting...

A Yemeni man (Rageh Almurisi) was wrestled to the floor after pounding on the cockpit door of a plane on an American Airlines NY to San Francisco flight. According to the Star Tribune online, &quot;The passengers sat stunned as they watched a man walk quickly toward the front of American Airlines Flight 1561 as it was descending toward San Francisco. He was screaming and then began pounding on the cockpit door.&quot; 

What was he screaming? &quot;Allahu Akbar!&quot; A flight attendant grabbed his arm and asked him to be seated. He violently resisted, the attendant asked for help and it took 4 men to subdue the man. 

The explanations have now gone far beyond ludicrous...they are insulting.

His family has come out and claimed:
He may have mistaken the cockpit for the bathroom. Really?? So, battering the door and screaming, &quot;Allahu Akbar&quot; was done because he had to go potty?
He suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and could also have reacted badly when an air stewardess told him to sit down. Whaaat?? So, running down the isle and violently battering the cockpit door with his fist, is no problem for someone with RA...but having a female stewardess ask you to sit down, well...that&apos;s enough to inflame ones joints?
OK, America...who&apos;s buying this pile of jihadist poop? Not I...

We have a problem in the world today. It&apos;s the hard (and soft) Jihad being shoveled down our throats by Islamic apologists. Do we have to receive it? No as long as we have functioning gray matter and the US Constitution, we don&apos;t.

Allahu Akbar has been screamed before every vicious act of Muslim terrorism perpetrated against those in the West. All violent. All hateful. All resulting in the death of the kafir or unbelievers. 

It is NOT a plea to use the lavatory. It is NOT misquoted by &apos;misunderstanders&apos; of Islam. It&apos;s a jihadist war cry of glorifying Allah every time they destroy another one of his enemies...that would be us.

Muslims know this...and so do we. So, MSM...nix the idiotic justification gibberish...&apos;We The People&apos; are immune to it now.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Sharia Is Coming, Sharia Is Coming!</title>
            <description>According to Human Events--mega mosques are being constructed in the Bible Belt (including towering minarets) with Saudi petro dollars.

Make no mistake--these Islamic edifices are designed to send an unequivocal, not to mention ominous message: We will openly challenge America&apos;s Judeo-Christian heritage.

Sharia is coming, Sharia is coming!

            <title>Celebrating Hate: A &apos;Palestinian&apos; Pastime</title>
            <description>It&apos;s been 63 years since the most persecuted people group in recorded history received the re-birth of their country. Something to truly celebrate. Since the Diaspora (the first one began when Nebuchadnezzar deported the Hebrews in 597 BC), the Jewish people have been longing to come back to their homeland.

On May 14, 1948, Israel was finally granted permission to come home. But to Muslims...that was a no-no. Once a land is conquered by Islam, it belongs to Islam forever.

The UN Partition of 1947 granted Israel a tiny chopped up piece of land along the Mediterranean coast, the eastern Galilee, and the Negev desert. The remaining land would have been a &apos;Palestinian&apos; state, which the &apos;Palestinians&apos; (together with the rest of the Arab world), rejected unequivocally. Their solution was to instead join 5 Arab nations in an attempt to wipe out the tiny budding Israel. The nations: Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia declared war on Israel.

Like big violent babies, they didn&apos;t like the deal so they decided to wipe out the other party...which didn&apos;t happen...

So, decades later...they call the day of Israel&apos;s rebirth, Nakba or &quot;catastrophe&quot;...it has become another celebration of hate in the &apos;Palestinian&apos; calendar. They celebrate suicide bombings. They honor &apos;successful&apos; suicide bombers by naming streets and recreational areas after them. They rejoice in the streets of the PA-controlled areas dancing and handing out candy whenever another Jew is murdered. They teach their children, right out of the womb, that Jews are evil and should be eliminated...teaching Jew-hatred in the schools and on children&apos;s TV.

Celebrating hate, is a pastime of the &apos;Palestinians&apos;...

These perpetual faux victims, known as &quot;palestinians&quot; have spent most of their time disseminating hatred for Jews and the Jewish State. And their &apos;Nakba Day&apos; is just another clear sign for all to see, that: There will never be peace with a people group who live to hate.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Nice Going</title>
            <description>Those liberals who think raising the minimum wage is an act of a magnanimity are beyond brain dead.

Why? Because according to a recent study (with each 10% increase of the MW) employment among the very group liberals are trying to help (young black males) decreases by almost 7%.

Nice going.

            <title>Got Zakat? Cretins In Control Will Comply</title>
            <description>Charity is a virtue. It&apos;s the generous actions or donations to aid and benefit the poor, ill, or helpless. Something that America as a country, and Americans as individual citizens, do better and more often than any other nation on earth.

And something attributed most often by Christians and Jews...

But what about Muslims and Muslim nations? Good question. With their countries sweetly planted on some of the greatest oil reserves on the planet, they should head the list of givers. But every disaster in recent times...especially to non-Muslims...Muslim nations and peoples have been clearly absent.

That could be because their total focus is the spread of Islam...either by soft jihad (re-education) or hard jihad (violence). And all of that must be supported financially. And that&apos;s done through Zakat. FYI...Zakat (alms, charity) is required of all Muslims, being one of the five pillars of Islam. To be used, according to the Quran (6:60), for: The poor; Those who collect these alms; To attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam) (Da&apos;wah); To free those in captivity; For those in debt; For “Allah’s Cause” (i.e. for Mujahideen, those fighting in holy battle, Jihad); For the wayfarer.

Sidebar question: With all the oil profits for the Sheiks...why is there so much depravation, still, in Muslim countries...while the rulers wallow is riches? It appears zakat makes detours to Neiman Marcus...

Now, wasn&apos;t it heartwarming, in 2009, to have the US President...in the midst of the War on Terror, and in light of cases like the Holy Land Foundation trial, state that &quot;…I’m committed to working with American Muslims to ensure that they can fulfill zakat.&quot;

What a little helper that Barry is...he pulls the pin before they throw it...

Oh, but wait...he has his minions helping too...

AG Eric Holder gave some verbal support to a front group for CAIR: Muslim Advocates . You remember them...the unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case...they are a financial arm for Hamas in the US. He was the keynote speaker not once, but twice at their banquet of Advocates and Leaders for Police and Community Trust. He did in 2009 and in December 2010. And who knows...he can give them a pep talk before the year ends. If you&apos;re interested in viewing the affect he&apos;s had on these soft jihadists, just visit their website http://www.muslimadvocates.org/. 

Their first subject of interest listed: Groups Seek End to Religious Questioning At The Border by Federal Agents. Hmm...helping OTM (other than Mexican) illegals get to their jihadist cells incognito...goody, goody!

Their second subject of interest: COMMUNITY ALERT: Seek Legal Advice Before Talking to FBI. Of course, they want to make sure that Muslims don&apos;t cooperate with authorities trying to catch their hard jihadist brethren.

It&apos;s comforting to know that Barry and his band of complying cretins, have accomplished so much. And in only 2 1/2 years.

If you&apos;re not furious yet...you&apos;re not paying attention...

Shalom through strength...

            <title>You Can Kiss My American...!</title>
            <description>It was great to see young people come out (en masse) to celebrate the eradication of UBL.

Why? Because such behavior is considered anathema by the gods of political correctness who not only disdain any displays of patriotism--but also fear that rejoicing over the demise of murderous Islamo-thugs only serves to agitate the already &quot;traumatized,&quot; &quot;victimized&quot; and &quot;poverty stricken&quot; Muslim Street.

So, kudos to the youth who not only defied the gods--but also (via their overt pride and patriotism) told the Muslim Street: YOU CAN KISS MY AMERICAN ASS!

            <title>UN&apos;s New Math: 1 Terrorist + 1 Terrorist = Good Neighbors?</title>
            <description>The &apos;New Math&apos;...the Math of morons...is spreading all the way to the beast on the East River (or maybe it emanated from there). UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomed a unity agreement intended to cease the antagonism among ruling &apos;Palestinian&apos; factions. 

He&apos;s all for jihadists singing Kumbaya...his caveat: As long as it doesn&apos;t interfere with the peace process.

Huh??  One terrorist plus one terrorist equals good neighbors??

Okee Dokee...let&apos;s look at the factions:

Fatah:
Terrorist group co-founded about 1959 by Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas.
Dedicated to destroying Israel.
They control the West Bank, and have headquarters in Gaza.
On June 30, 2009, on PA TV, they bragged they had committed more terror acts against Israelis than their rival Hamas.
They refuse to acknowledge Israel&apos;s right to exist.
Hamas:
Founded in 1987, the child of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB).
As MB believes, sees holy war as the religious duty of every Muslim.
Responsible for hundreds of terror attacks on innocent Israeli citizens.
They turned Gaza into a terrorism depot, where a massive arsenal was stored and rockets launched at Israeli civilian enclaves.
They refuse to acknowledge Israel&apos;s right to exist.
Are you feeling the neighborly love yet?

Now, let me see...as long as it doesn&apos;t interfere with the peace process? What is listed above is a partial list of the activities of these two groups of Muslim monsters. Nothing on the lists persuades the reader that there is ANY hope of peace...especially since neither faction is willing to recognize the other party&apos;s (Israel) right to exist. And if one party doesn&apos;t exist...there&apos;s no need for a peace process.

The UN&apos;s inability to discern the troublemakers from the peacemakers (as we can clearly see on the Human Rights Council) is the REAL interference in the peace process. 

Agreeing to combine two terrorist organizations, with the same stated destructive purpose, and believe the result will be peace...well...one must think they have a wand...or cracked themselves between the eyes with one...

The UN is no arbiter of peace. The entities steering the agenda are rotten to the core with anti-Semitism...and have a loathing for the West that is unparalleled in recent history. 

So...until the PA (Palestinian Authority) can be required to sing Mr. Roger&apos;s theme song...everything coming out of UN chambers, concerning Israel, should be collected with a pooper scooper.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>It Was Senator Sissy</title>
            <description>Before we start comparing President Obama to General Patton--let&apos;s remember that it was then Senator Sissy (during his campaign) who threw a hissy fit over the the existence of Gitmo and whimpered endlessly that the practice of waterboarding was mean.

You know--the two things that provided the crucial Intel which allowed our intrepid warriors to kill the world&apos;s most infamous bastard.

            <title>US Military: The World Owes You, Again</title>
            <description>Cheers of &quot;USA, USA&quot; and choruses of the National Anthem from the crowds gathered at Ground Zero, NYC...Times Square, NYC...on NYC Subway cars...1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Jubilant citizens proudly waving Old Glory...

Ding, Dong, bin Laden&apos;s dead!

Good news, indeed. And who should we thank for this long-awaited propitiation for the heinous deeds done on 9-11? In proper order:
The US Military, and more specifically, the US Navy Seals. Forty of these elite fighters staged hand-to-hand combat against Osama and his minions at his compound.
The Bush doctrine for the War on Terror...it worked.
Mr. Obama for keeping everything Bush put in place, to insure bin Laden&apos;s demise.
(See...I&apos;m fair...I credited Obama for doing the right thing by maintaining the plan set in place by Bush...which ultimately succeeded.)

But who are the ones who should be MOST grateful for the noble and heroic acts of our Military? The rest of the Western World...specifically Europe. We saved their collective tukis in WWI, WWII and Kosovo...and now, we did what they were incapable of doing: We killed the head of al Qaeda...who had designs on them.

Yes, it&apos;s true...our Military ROCKS...and even gets those who live under them (rocks).

And though the world will never give our heroes their due...grateful US citizens will.

So...HOOYAH and God Bless our guardians!! This grateful citizen will NEVER forget your daily sacrifice. Your work may be hidden from my eyes...but I see the results in my liberty!

Thank you...

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Today&apos;s Lesson: The Greatest Hindrance To Mideast Peace</title>
            <description>OK, boys and girls...now that another election year is approaching...let&apos;s look at what Mr. Obama has accomplished in his &apos;to do&apos; list. 

Today we&apos;re going to look at Foreign Policy and Mideast Peace...

Okee Dokee...

He wanted to change our image in the world. Check! Now our enemies think we&apos;re conquerable cretins and our allies don&apos;t trust us. 
He wanted to bring change to US-Muslim relations. Check! 1) Egypt now plans to end the Camp David Accords (brokered by Carter between Sadat-Begin), which brought agreement (upheld by Mubarak) and form of peace between Israel-Egypt. 2)Egyptian officials now want to meet with Iranian officials to have a working relationship (in case you missed it, they are the enemy of Israel and the US). 3)Egyptian officials want to meet with Hamas. 

Woo Hoo...a hat trick!!

He didn&apos;t speak up when he should have...and he opened his pie hole when he should have kept it shut. Uh oh, Barry&apos;s not smarter than a 5th grader, kids...

During the uprisings in the Middle East, here&apos;s what he did...or didn&apos;t do:

When pro-democracy forces took to the streets in Tehran...cries for freedom came from the people&apos;s lips...Barry buttoned his.

When the Muslim Brotherhood-roiled hordes shrieked to bring Mubarak down (a man, though cruel, but with whom we had a working relationship)...Barry unbuttoned his trap to leave no doubt of his ignorance.

When Libyan rebels, which most likely are not friends of the US, decided to help oust Gaddafi...Barry opened his mouth and out of his military acumen, decided to train the rebels.

See boys and girls...when you put your mind to it, what little there may be...you can get things done!

Look at all Mr. Obama has done for Mideast peace in just 2 1/2 years in office. He has injected himself into the situation, with no experience and very bad information and made our worst President EVER, look like a genius. 

So getting back to our lesson&apos;s title: What/Who&apos;s the greatest hindrance to Mideast peace? Why it&apos;s your president, that&apos;s who!!

He&apos;s helped our image AND the milieu like the guy who shaves your ankles before the electric chair. See kids...that&apos;s not helpful if you&apos;re the good guy and the guy who pulls the switch is holding a Quran.

So, until next time kids, remember: If you hire a moron to do wise things...you&apos;re the bigger fool.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Bargaining With Barbarians Equals More Barbarism</title>
            <description>&quot;No man can tame a tiger into a kitten by stroking it. There can be no appeasement with ruthlessness. There can be no reasoning with an incendiary bomb.&quot; 
                                     --Franklin D Roosevelt

One of the few things that FDR got right was how pernicious appeasement can be. To attempt to reason with the irrational is foolishness, at best...yet the weak in leadership positions, in democracies worldwide, have done so, to the peril of their people.

The State of Israel has had those leading them, in the past, that acquiesced to the cries of the desperate and caved to the demands of terrorists. That is what set up a milieu that permitted the capture of Gilad Shalit (Israeli soldier captured by Hamas on June 25, 2006). As much as we all can understand the plea of his family to get him home safe...it would be a grave mistake to negotiate with these radical fiends. They kidnap in order to exchange the innocent for incarcerated terrorists, who go back out on the streets of Israel...to kill innocents. When allowed to prevail in their deeds, by Israeli officials agreeing to the captors demands...they just do it all over again...

Over a period of 30 years, Israel has released approximately 7,000 &apos;Palestinian&apos; terrorist prisoners to secure freedom for 19 Israelis and to retrieve the bodies of 8 others.

That falsely speaks of the weakness of Israel to the Arab-Muslim world, AND success of operations to Jewish enemies.

So they plan to do it again...the Hamas weekly al-Risalah reported Sunday that Hamas is taking advantage of the relative quiet in the south to &quot;plan more kidnappings in the near future.&quot; 

The article stated that &quot;The resistance is coming closer to conducting another kidnapping.&quot; 

Here&apos;s are questions to ponder: Since this machination has been clearly published...why are there no world leaders condemning this plan? Why has the world media...including the self-righteous US media...not condemned Hamas for taking and imprisoning Shalit for almost 5 years? Where&apos;s Saint Jimmy &apos;Dhimmi&apos; Carter on these actions of his beloved Hamas?

The answer is always the same: When it comes to condemning the savagery of terrorists attacking Jews, the world&apos;s resounding response is: Cricket chirps.

As I&apos;ve said in the past, appeasement never works for the cause of freedom. 

In the face of Hamas&apos; nefarious behavior, it would benefit the Israeli government to remember the sage words of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, the next time Hamas (or their ilk) suggests bargaining for barbarians: &quot;I seem to smell the stench of appeasement in the air.&quot;

Then act accordingly...

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Hey Dems, Election&apos;s Approaching...Time To Lie To The Jews</title>
            <description>You can always tell when the smell of an election season is approaching. How? It&apos;s simple...the Libs start supporting the State of Israel, again...

Same old, same old...

On Tuesday, the US Senate officially and unanimously passed a resolution demanding that the UN Human Rights Council annul the Goldstone Report, which falsely accused Israel of committing war crimes in its 2009 Operation cast Lead in the Gaza Strip.

Now, ordinarily I would have given a shout-out to the Senate. But some facts deter me from doing so. 

One point is a large block of voters and financial supporters are important to the Dems: Liberal Jews. And sadly, every time elections are approaching...the Dems make nice, in gesture, to Israel...and Liberal Jews promise boku bucks. And when the election is over...the Dems go back to their anti-Israel ways until they need Jewish money again.

Another point that prevents me from calling the Senate&apos;s act magnanimous is their reaction when the Goldstone Report was released: Lukewarm, at best. Now, Goldstone himself admits he was wrong...so &apos;demanding&apos; it be rescinded is lame.

Is this behavior disgusting? Yes. But sadly, Liberals in the Jewish community...with all their G-d-given acumen...are blind and deaf to the Dems routine.

I point out the Senate here simply because there is a Democrat majority, however slight. The House, on the other hand, has a GOP majority and their support would be genuine. Why? Because they, as a rule, support and defend the State of Israel, come hell or high water.

So, the Senate&apos;s resolution does represent the American people&apos;s position...but in order for this citizen to buy their support of the Jewish State...it will take their off-year actions to match their election year rhetoric.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Death Penalty: Some Blood Cries Out For It</title>
            <description>&quot;I believe there is a place for a death penalty. Some crimes are so heinous, so horrible that the only response that we, as a civilized nation, have for a most uncivil action is not only to try to deter that person from ever committing that crime again, but also as a warning to others that some crimes truly are beyond any other capacity for us to fix.&quot; --Mike Huckabee

New York, my state, does not have the death penalty...ruled unconstitutional and cruel in 2004...still scratching my head on the &apos;cruel&apos; part. Despite the poor decision, I am a strong proponent of the Death Penalty for ALL democracies. 

Especially in the case of crimes against humanity...

Case in point...the two fiends, that committed the unconscionable massacre of the Fogel family in Itamar, have finally been caught and confessed to their barbarous acts. And some of the facts were so vile, that for one of the acts alone...they should be skewered...

According to the Jerusalem Post:
The terrorists planned the murders days in advance. They were unsuccessful in obtaining arms from a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) representative in their village. The PFLP is closely tied to both Syria and Iran.
They climbed over the fence, over a forest hilltop, and reached a row of homes in Itamar.
They entered a neighbor&apos;s home and stole the M-16 rifle, as well as ammunition and body armor, and continued down the street.
The terrorists then saw the Fogel residence, and spotted children sleeping through the window.
Immediately after entering the home, the terrorists pointed their knives at two little brothers sleeping in their beds, 4-year-old Elad, and 11-year-old Yoav, killing them both.
They then entered the parents’ bedroom, where they launched a knife attack on Ehud and Ruth Fogel. The parents fought back. During the struggle, one of the suspects used the stolen M-16 to shoot Ruth Fogel dead. Ehud died of his stab wounds during the fight.
The two men left the house, but then they heard 3-month-old Hadas crying.
Awoken by the attack, the baby lay in her crib in her parents’ bedroom.
They went back into the house and stabbed the baby to death. 
Soulless barbarians comes to mind, but doesn&apos;t describe these vermin...and I&apos;m too much of a lady to say what I REALLY think of them...

Now, in Israel, capital punishment is illegal, except in specific circumstances. Israel inherited the code of law for the British Mandate of Palestine, which included the death penalty for several offenses, but in 1954 Israel abolished this penalty with the exceptions of conviction for genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, crimes against the Jewish people, and treason in wartime.

I do believe this heinous crime falls under ALL but the last one of these categories. It&apos;s time to once again build the gallows...last used for Adolf Eichmann (convicted of Nazi war crimes relating to the Holocaust).

This must be seen by the Muslim world as a zero tolerance issue concerning the murder of innocent civilians. 

The Fogel tragedy cries out for justice. If the Israeli government fails to apply this condign punishment...it will result in many more massacres, because Muslims view mercy as weakness to be conquered. 

Something that must ALWAYS be considered when dealing with people who love to hate.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>The Mentally Challenged Among Us</title>
            <description>According to a recent Gallup Poll--nearly 60% of Americans think the wealthy should be taxed more.

Wow! What to do with the mentally challenged among us?

Perhaps these &apos;geniuses&apos; aren&apos;t cognizant of the fact that the top 1% of wage earners in America already pay over 40% of all federal taxes?

Furthermore--these high end wage earners create the one thing our nation needs right now: JOBS!

Piling more onerous taxes on them will only add to an already high unemployment rate.

But--this is to be expected.

After all--it was the mentally challenged among us that elected the Tax Collector-in-Chief.

            <title>The Terrorist State, That Appeasers &amp; Ogres Create</title>
            <description>Get the party hats out...all the Jew-haters of the world...of every type and stripe...are ready to unite in declaration and celebration. Funny thing, though...all the party attire either has a star &amp; crescent or a yellow stripe down its back...

The attendees list: Appeasers: Obama (US), check. Cameron (UK), check. The World Bank, check. The International Monetary Fund, check. The UN, check. The Ogres: The Muslim nations, check, check, check...

The celebration? Why the declaration of a &apos;Palestinian&apos; State. A macrocosm of Gaza&apos;s terrorist commune. 

The UN gave their &apos;Woo Hoo&apos; to the PA on Tuesday...no condemnation of the daily crimes-against-humanity rocket barrage upon Israeli civilians...just a ginormous kudos for their intentions of unilaterally declaring a &apos;Palestinian&apos; State. 

Any opposition from Israel&apos;s &apos;allies&apos;? 
The UK got their 2 pence in while Cameron was in Turkey. 
Obama has had a target on the Jewish State since before he entered the Oval Office. 
Sarkozy has stated that they not recognize a &apos;Palestinian&apos; state on its own, but will along with the EU. 
Well, at least the US House of Representatives approved a measure condemning unilateral measures to declare or recognize a &apos;Palestinian&apos; state, so...they still represent the people of the US. But the President? He is bent upon acquiescing to Muslims...an ideology for which he has much affection. 

So, will a &apos;Palestinian&apos; State be declared (without Israel&apos;s agreement) this Fall? It won&apos;t, unless those whose countries were guilty of being appeasers during the reign of the Third Reich...want more blood on their hands...which, by the way, the Sharia that these countries are ushering in, will be happy to deal with in one precise chop...

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Permanently Attached To Their Ankles</title>
            <description>Not only was President Obama&apos;s speech yesterday (on deficit reduction) an exercise in mendacity--it was also another installment of blistering class warfare.

When will the President (who stated during his speech that the wealthy need to pay their fair share of taxes) come to the understanding that the top 1% of wage earners in our country pay 40% of all taxes.

If the president had his druthers--the wealthy would have their hands permanently attached to their ankles.

            <title>NY State Dems: Sharia&apos;s Little Helpers</title>
            <description>AIR was shrieking like paltering banshees. Eleven NY State Democrats screamed it was criminal. Various apologists yammering about an anti-Muslim backlash. Adem Carroll of the New York State Interfaith Network for Immigration Reform, joined in the chorus against the NY State Senate’s hearings: &quot;None of us are condemning the hearings’ stated purpose...but hate speech and defamation can and do perpetuate a cycle of violence.&quot;
But is any of this true?

It appears, since 9-12, when Islam, through unindicted coconspirators like CAIR, took on the mantle of &apos;victim&apos;...any legitimate inquiry into the ideology is immediately branded &apos;hate speech&apos;. If you state truth, you are inciting violence...despite the lack of any empirical evidence.

Imagine this...ex-Muslim and human rights activist Nonie Darwish (who lived under the draconian fist of Islam), had the impudence to state facts in the hearing (something Jihadists and their minions loathe). &quot;The education of Arab children is to make killing of certain groups of people not only good, it’s holy. It becomes holy in our culture.&quot;
That is a fact. Books examined in various schools, in the US and abroad, confirm that fact. YET, the pronouncement of that reality is &quot;bringing hate and poison&quot; into the proceedings, according to Brooklyn Sen. Eric Adams. So, if you repeat what the Quran says, then you are &apos;poisoning&apos; the milieu? Stating the obvious is Haram (forbidden)? 

Nice try, Senator....but no sale. 

Eleven of Adams&apos; colleagues screeched that hearings would, &quot;inflame hysteria and place an entire faith under suspicion.&quot; 

Sorry guys...no sale there either.

Islam is making monumental efforts and strides, through dangerous dimwits like Sen. Adams and his ilk. To view the apologetic atmosphere we are residing in...especially in the very State with the most casualties from 9-11...one would think we are living in a 9-10 world. 

But if Islamists have their way...we will be living in a 9-11 world...interminably.

Shalom through strength...

            <description>One of the most demonstrable signs of American weakness (involving the War on Terror) is the egregious fact that Khalid Sheik Mohammed is still breathing.

In American custody since 2003--the admitted architect of 9/11 has been treated rather well (thanks to our government&apos;s unfettered propensity to kiss Islamic ass)-- given the fact that he is a murderous RAT BASTARD!

If we the people had our druthers: KSM would&apos;ve been sent to Allah long ago.

But, then again--we the people have the one thing our leaders lack: A SPINE!

            <title>‎Carter: Cuddling With Fidel And Raul &apos;Krueger&apos; </title>
            <description>&quot;Quite often...these little guys, who might be making atomic weapons or who might be guilty of some human rights violations or whatever, are looking for someone to listen to their problems and help them communicate.&quot; --Jimmy Carter, his strategy with dictators
Oops...he missed his day. April 1st comes but once a year, for everyone else...but not for Jimmy Dhimmi Carter. He enjoys that honor every day of the year...

He&apos;s the fawner of tyrants and despots...the defender of virulent regimes and anti-Semites (Hamas), a specialty. Carter has made a career of supporting the evil of this world and enabling them to commit atrocities, one more day.

He&apos;s an ambitious little goober...and he&apos;s at it again... 

It can be said that miscreants recognize their own kind...and their enablers (useful idiots)... &quot;We greeted each other as old friends,&quot; gushed Carter. &quot;In 2002, we received him warmly...Now, I reiterated to him our respect and esteem,&quot; reciprocated Fidel Castro. &quot;Jimmy Carter was the best of all U.S. Presidents,&quot; proclaimed Raul Castro. Oooo, aahhh...I&apos;m feeling warm and fuzzy inside...what a love-fest (or infestation)...and all of it on Cuban soil. 

Such gracious words emanating from the Castro Clan...it&apos;s like learning Freddie Krueger graduated from a rehab center...and is now counseling in one...

But, sadly...the Krueger brothers, and their American cousin and aficionado, Jimmy...were just having a family reunion. 

So, what&apos;s so darn bad about the Castros anyway?

Besides the myriad testimonies of people who have lived under Fidel&apos;s barbarity...here&apos;s just a bit of El Comandante&apos;s beneficence: 

They murdered 12-17,000 Cubans by firing squad.
The regime’s total death toll—from torture, prison beatings, firing squads, machine gunning of escapees, drownings, etc., approaches 100,000.Between 1959 and 1993, about 1.2 million Cubans left the country for the US, by ocean in small boats and makeshift rafts, due to the draconian rule and oppression.&lt;br /&gt;

Well now...that would woo me to the communist ideology. This aids my understanding of the saying, &quot;I&apos;d rather be dead than red in the head&quot;...

How can someone, who resembles the tranquil character of Huckleberry Hound, be so wretched inside his elderly shell? Who continues to send him on these &apos;missions&apos; to comfort the vile...the voices in his head?

Whatever is motivating Carter to be the ambassador of abomination...he needs to stop and number his days. He&apos;s no spring chicken, but rather an old hideous rooster...and the path to his final resting place (at least on this earth) should not be strewn by the bodies of the innocent or splashed with the blood of babes.

Unless he&apos;s bucking for a seat in Sheol. No worries...he already has a reservation.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>In Short: WTF!</title>
            <description>While those vitiated by Political Correctness are busy condemning Pastor Terry Jones for torching a copy of the Koran--the Muslim thugs who slaughtered 20 innocents in Afghanistan (in direct protest to Jones&apos; book burning) seem to be getting a pass.

In short: Jones was thoroughly castigated for merely exercising his right (under The Constitution) to Free Expression--while the killers in Afghanistan--who exercised their right (under the Koran) to annihilate those who insult Islam--were treated as victims.

(Even though the slaughtered didn&apos;t know Jones.)

WTF!

            <title>They Cannot Want What They Do Not Know</title>
            <description>Reporter after reporter...throughout the riots doing the wave across the Middle East (and you don&apos;t want to be down wind of that)...Arab Muslims, who have lived under Islamic-influenced governments, have been asked the same question. But an inquiry that is foolish, at best: So you&apos;re doing this because you want democracy, right?

Well, if that&apos;s not putting foreign lingo right into a toothless mouth, I don&apos;t know what is...

The answer every time: Yes, democracy.

Really? Shouldn&apos;t the next question be: Do you know what democracy is? Because their answer would be unequivocally, NO. They just say yes to anything they are asked, due to the excitement of having a mic up to their halitosis-tainted pie hole...and a camera capturing their grubby mug. 

Honestly...if these journalists actually pondered their query but a moment, they would realize that these men (of course men because women are forbidden to do...well ANYTHING without their master&apos;s permission) haven&apos;t a clue what democracy is. Having been reared under Islam, which is a complete lifestyle system, including religion AND government in one, individual rights and personal liberty are Haram (forbidden).

What these protesters want is economic reform and freedom. But THAT is not compatible with Islam. The economic freedom they see in the West is the blessed product of a capitalist system...based upon a democratic government. A government by and FOR the people. A system based upon Judeo-Christian precepts which recognize a Creator that gives individuals inalienable rights...that no man can take away.

Their god Allah, does not give or allow such freedoms...and so their desire for Western blessings will NEVER be...without the Western system of democracy. And a recent Pew poll, confirms that. It revealed that 85% of protesters want an Islamic system to rule over them...well, Mr. Hajji, kiss your economic reform goodbye...it took off on Allah&apos;s magic prayer-rug...

So, since they do not know what democracy is...they clearly are parroting a &quot;Yes, democracy&quot; out of excitement and not out of a desire based in knowledge.

To all Mideast correspondents: Americans have become a lot smarter since 9-11. They don&apos;t believe every word out of the mouth of a man who smells like he hangs with camels, and smiles like Billy Bob. 

Nor should you.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>More Time Is Less Time</title>
            <description>Time. A precious commodity. Many have realized that since 9/11. Some no longer take time for granted...taking advantage of every moment granted to them. But others have a more devious take on time...and they mean to take ours away...if they continue to be aided... 
Who are &apos;they&apos;? In this case, none other than the maniacal mullahs of Tehran. And who are those who continue to aid them in their diabolical design of destruction? Well, right now, the leading lummox is our very own Barry. He has been silent on their nuclear weapons program ever since the protests in the Middle East have been doing the wave. 

And his silence is not golden... 
His failure to voice any protest against their continued machination, is an arrow in the quiver of our enemy...and the enemy of our allies.

He believes his mystical rhetorical gift will cause the mad mullahs to faint away... 
Now, I know the &apos;Gay&apos; lobby believes Obama has a wand, but I didn&apos;t know HE believed he did. 

Obama is so enamored with his supposed ability to cause his audiences to swoon, that he apparently thinks Ahmadinejad didn&apos;t get a big enough dose to fall under his spell... 
Sorry, Barry...even your Cheshire Cat smile won&apos;t move those, desiring to kill us, into halting at your command. 

Imagine that...not everyone gets a thrill up their leg...aww...

Everything that O and his ilk choose to use in delaying (including, um nothing) any action against Tehran&apos;s tyrannical regime...is turned into time utilized for creating an enormous nuclear nightmare that will first hit Israel, &apos;the Little Satan&apos;...and then &apos;the Great Satan&apos;...that would be us. 
Because with Tehran...more time for THEM, is less time for US. 
Shalom through strength...

            <title>Begs The Question</title>
            <description>According to recent FBI statistics--the rate of hate crimes against Jews (vs. Muslims) is eight times higher.

So, this begs the question: Why does our government continue to categorize Muslims as the number one victim-class in America?

            <title>The Barbie Doll Maven Goes G I Joe</title>
            <description>When I was a little girl, I, like every other little girl in the civilized world...played dress-up with a Barbie doll (or a good facsimile). It helped us prime our fashion sense...

When I became an adult, it appeared that some men may have been playing with the same toys growing up. I&apos;m not talking about budding designers, here...I&apos;m referring to those in strategic positions in companies...smooth talkers and runway walkers. 

Empty suits.

BUT...when the man in charge is not merely handling a recording session or cosmetic color launch...and it affects our national security...it&apos;s time to pay serious attention...

Obama has been bent upon causing America to no longer be the leader of the Free World. His &apos;me too&apos;, follower stance has truly changed how the world views us. Our allies view us with suspicion...and our enemies view us as weenie warriors who will run like little girls if someone screams a word with the suffix &apos;phobic&apos;. 

When I first heard (and saw) Obama speak...he struck me as a pompous dandy and an artful politician, who knew how to tickle the ear of his audience to garner their favor. But his superficial attributes are more reminiscent of a man who grew up playing dress-up with a doll, than a Commander-in-Chief.

His sluggish reaction to Gaddafi&apos;s behavior, as well as in other events in the Middle East...has projected our nation as weak on the world stage...but more importantly, on the Arab Street. Because there&apos;s one thing Arabs respect: Military strength.

His move to send 2,200 hundred Marines off the coast of Libya was ONLY ordered AFTER the UN gave permission. 

That speaks mega-weenie to the Arab Street.

Obama&apos;s tragic imitation of a GI Joe gets a &apos;No Sale&apos; from lovers of liberty. Because true peace lovers know that with evil that is insatiable and ubiquitous...as Machiavelli once said: &quot;It&apos;s better to be feared than loved in the world.&quot;

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Jettison The &quot;Peace&quot; Mantra</title>
            <description>Putting aside President Obama&apos;s dithering, cowardice and disquieting lack of leadership concerning Libya: No matter what America does in the Muslim World--it will still hate us.

From Lebanon to Somali to Kosovo to Indonesia (and beyond)--our nation&apos;s magnanimity has been rebuffed by fire breathing imams (and their millions of acolytes) who preach according to Quranic dogma that America is the &quot;Great Satan.&quot;

We (as a nation) must jettison the &quot;Islam is a religion of peace&quot; mantra and except the explicit fact that it is implacably violent.

Our very survival demands it.

            <title>NY Honor Killing: Perp Was  Victim?</title>
            <description>One devilishly ingenious thing that Muslims did following the terrorist atrocity on 9/11, was to couch themselves as victims. They have been riding that magic prayer rug ever since. But the trial going on in NY takes the cake when it comes to being egregious...

It&apos;s the trial of an honor killing in Buffalo NY...though it&apos;s not being referred to as such...and it&apos;s taking place two years after the brutal murder. Muzzammil Hassan, who abused his wife Aasiya since they married. The abuse was documented with police reports, photos and letters compiled by her attorney 6 days before her murder. He ended his barbarian behavior toward his wife by decapitating her...and giving a full confession to police following the act.

Two years pass and the magic prayer rug enters and it appears that Hassan now claims to be the victim.  According to the Buffalo News...Hassan says everyone ELSE is to blame: &quot;The &quot;white Nazi&quot; guards he said had assaulted him in jail. The attorneys he has fired since he began preparing for trial. The judge he once called &quot;evil&quot; in court.&quot;

Oh that poor little butcher...everybody&apos;s always picking on him...

It never ceases to amaze me how criminal-types and America-loathers always seem to end up with liberal excuses rolling off their tongues. In a Libs world, you are forever the victim and it&apos;s everyone else&apos;s fault. 

Since Libs are more concerned with the humane treatment of the perps, perhaps, in Hassan&apos;s case, we should only impose half of what he perpetrated upon his innocent wife...half a beheading, just so he can feel her pain.

I think that would be condign punishment.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Blame Islam Not Israel</title>
            <description>The religion of &quot;peace&quot; is on display (yet again) for all the world to see as Islamic autocrat Muammar Qaddafi slaughters his fellow Muslims/citizens with helicopter gunships.

(Didn&apos;t we see another Islamic brute by the name of Saddam do the same?)

This savage display further underscores exactly why this region of the world is in constant tumult: ISLAM.

Why? Because it is a doctrine which nefariously teaches that human beings are nothing more than material.

Middle East tumult: Blame Islam not Israel.

            <title>Just War And The Jewish State: Their Home Is Their Castle</title>
            <description>Believe it or not, in a Blue State like NY, we actually have an article in the Penal Law that allows us to employ self-defense. Article 35 of the Penal Law specifies when an individual is justified in using force to defend life or property. (Proof that there&apos;s hope for NY.) 

Many States in the union have adopted an American doctrine known as, The Castle Doctrine...

The Castle Doctrine, or the Defense of Habitation Law is a derived from English Common Law. The law defines ones home, or in some cases any place that you legally occupy, as a place where you have the liberty to be free from trespass.  It also gives you the right to defend your life, or the life of another who legally occupies the “castle” with deadly force if the situation warrants it.  In a legal proceeding your actions can be defended as justifiable under the Castle Doctrine.

The Castle Doctrine is a microcosm of the Just War Doctrine, which states that a nation may justly go to war for some restricted reasons, which are basically those of self-defense, and the rescue of another nation from an aggressor.

Guess what? Israel has a right to defend itself...according to international law and the UN Charter (article 51). As stated by Alan Dershowitz, &quot;...acts of war—known as Casus Belli—fully justify an Israeli armed response...Providing weapons to a declared enemy in the face of an embargo has historically been deemed an armed attack under the law of war, especially when those providing the weapons intend for them to be used against the enemy&apos;s civilians.&quot;

Iran has been providing weapons to Hamas, to attack Israeli civilians, for some time. The proof is unequivocal. 

Therefore...Voila...there exists more than sufficient justification for Israel to severely damage, if not destroy, Iran&apos;s nuclear program.

International Law agrees. The UN Charter agrees. Sovereign, peace-loving nations agree. Allow Israel to protect and defend...to do otherwise would be the apex of artifice.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Islamberg: Coming To A Rural Area Near You</title>
            <description>It&apos;s been said that NY has everything...from beaches to snowcapped mountains, from Haute couture to the best bargain basements, and the best collection of scrumptious fare, including some of the best bagels, cheesecake and pizza found anywhere on earth. You name it, we have it. But...unbeknownst to many in NY and in the rest of the country...we have something that warms the cockles of radical Muslims hearts...

...and it&apos;s coming to a rural area near you...if it&apos;s not already there...

The group, according to the South Asia Terrorism Portal, Jamaat ul-Fuqra (JF) or &quot;community of the impoverished&quot;, is a terrorist outfit operating in Pakistan and North America. It was formed by a Pakistani cleric, Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani, in New York in 1980, on his very first visit to the US. Gilani&apos;s stated intention in forming the outfit was to &apos;purify&apos; Islam through violence. Gilani began preaching against Western culture at a mosque in Brooklyn, NY.

Facts about Al Fuqra:
Their focus is to counter what is perceived as excessive Western influence on Islam.
Their conclusion is that violence plays a significant role in its quest to purify Islam.
They regard the enemies of Islam to be all those who do not follow the tenets of Islam as laid out in the Quran, including those Muslims who they consider apostates, as well as non-Muslims.
Gilani published works in the Quranic Open University in the US, (which was seized in a 1991-investigation) that stated that their foremost duty was to wage violent Jihad against the ‘oppressors of Muslims’.
From 1980 to 1990, al Fuqra&apos;s communes (now numbering 35) across the US attracted many Muslim converts-including those recruited in our prison system.
At least 50 terrorist attacks on American soil were linked to Jamaat ul-Fuqra, ranging from bombings to murder to plots of blowing up American landmarks.
Seven of the 35 communes are in the states of Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.
The headquarters are in the NY Catskill Mountains in Hancock, NY, called: Islamberg.
Training compounds are in the following states: Hancock, NY; Marion, AL; Commerce &amp; Macon, GA; Talihina, OK; York County, SC; Dover, TN; Red House, VA &amp; Bethany, WV.
On September 28, 2001, ATF Special Agent Thomas P. Gallagher told a court: &quot;Individuals from the organization are trained in Hancock, N.Y., and if they pass the training in Hancock, N.Y., are then sent to Pakistan for training in paramilitary and survivalist training by Mr. Gilani.&quot;
Now I&apos;ll bet you haven&apos;t heard about this in the mainstream media...huh?

Including this information, in developing our national security policy, should be a no-brainer, right? But, the fact that these camps exist reflects poorly upon our policy strategy. Which means...

...perhaps we&apos;re in BIG trouble...

So, whether you reside in NY, TX, SC or any part of this great nation...it&apos;s time to be awake, aware and vigilant. Our leaders, concerning Islam, are trusting our enemies...and since we are their employer...let that be reflected in their evaluation come 2012.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>But Rather Immorality</title>
            <description>OIB would like to point out the following: The government&apos;s attempt to be a paragon of morality in the ongoing conflict called the War on Terror has been a cataclysmic failure.

Why? Well the answer is very simple: When constitutional rights are extended to a foreign enemy combatant (who confessed to masterminding the slaughter of 3,000 Americans on 9/11)--it explicitly demonstrates a reckless disregard for the very citizens the government is to sworn to protect.

And that (my friends) is not an example of morality--but rather immorality.

            <title>Family Values From Hell</title>
            <description>It happens every time. The moment news of another successful terror attack reaches the PA-controlled TV network...jubilation erupts from the people former President Bush insisted had the same values as we possess. But a brief look at a recent attack...and the Gaza reaction, tells a different story...

A paramedic described the scene: &quot;The murder scene was shocking. Kids’ toys right next to pools of blood.&quot;

After 10pm Saturday night, a &apos;palestinian&apos; terrorist infiltrated the West Bank settlement of Itamar, southeast of Nablus, and savagely stabbed 5 family members to death. Udi Fogel, 36, Ruth Fogel, 35, and their children Yoav, 11, Elad, 4, and 3-month-old Hadas. He then fled and has not been located.

News of the vicious murders hit the airwaves and guess what happened? 

Q. &apos;Palestinians&apos; came in droves to try to help the remaining family members and community? 
A. NO.
Q. &apos;Palestinians&apos; volunteered to pitch-in and search for the terrorist?
A. NO.
Q. &apos;Palestinians&apos; rejoiced in the streets and handed out candy, because one of their own slaughtered innocent Jews?
A. YES!

That&apos;s right...it&apos;s become a common practice following a terror attack in Israel (and also on 9-11), to celebrate the barbaric slaughter of Jews...including infants, with the distribution of sweets. 

Aaahhh...family values...the same as ours?

From the womb...(in many cases) to the early tomb, children are indoctrinated with vile lies about Jews. A cherubic-faced little 3-yr-old says she doesn&apos;t like the Jews because they&apos;re &quot;apes and pigs&quot;...and &quot;our god&quot; said that about them &quot;in the Quran.&quot;

This is what we teach our children?

A suicide-bomber&apos;s mother said of her son&apos;s homicide mission: &quot;I was very happy when I heard that he [Mahmud] killed Jews in the attack. When a warrior of Jihad follows Allah&apos;s path to kill Jews, [it is the act of Jihad] that gives him strength. Even if he does not kill any Jews, it is an honorable act because he dies the death of a martyr.&quot;

A mother&apos;s love? Just like a mother in the West?

Although I had great respect for former President Bush, on the issue of Islam being a &apos;religion of peace&apos;...possessing America values: He was dead wrong.

The act of murdering innocents...including defenseless infants/children, is the behavior of rabid dogs who have no regard for human life. Something that first emanates from the Muslim holy book...then carried into the schools, TV, celebrations, etc., covering every aspect of &apos;palestinian&apos; life. The product of such dehumanization and hatred of a people group can only result in genocide...something the two segments of the PA (Hamas &amp; Fatah) has vowed to do innumerable times.

Oh, I neglected to mention...the part of the PA that our government considers peaceful and moderate: Fatah? Well, they took credit for the terror slaughter of the Fogel family.

Family values? Yes...straight from the pit of hell.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Kudos To King For The Finger</title>
            <description>OIB extends serious kudos to Rep. Peter King. The intrepid lawmaker from New York (by convening his hearing on Islamic radicalization in America) has given the finger to the gods of Political Correctness (PC).

King (facing a blizzard of invective from those who have deemed American Muslims a &quot;protected&quot; group) remained unwavering in his belief that the hearing was imperative because many homegrown jihadists are being radicalized in American mosques.

The Chairmen of the Homeland Security Committee (unlike most of his colleagues) has never been shy about challenging PC ethos with his strident belief that the Muslim community isn&apos;t a victim--but rather a victimizer when it refuses to cooperate with law enforcement.

Kudos to King!

            <description>Perhaps the Rev. Jesse Jackson would like to explain how being denied one&apos;s constitutional rights (due to skin color) is analogous to municipal employees losing some of their collective bargaining rights?

Once again--Reverend Rump has made a mockery of the Civil Rights Movement.

            <title>Clueless NY Congressman Spells Peril For The People</title>
            <description>This September 11th will be the 10 year anniversary of the worst terror attacks perpetrated upon America. A plethora of information has been revealed since then, from myriad reliable sources...which should have resulted in a more educated public. But, if the response of a NY Congressman is any clue to the public&apos;s knowledge...we are in a perilous place, one decade later...

In an interview with the The Adirondack Daily Enterprise, NY Rep. Bill Owens (D-NY) of the 23rd district, said the following concerning the hearings being held by Rep. Peter King (R-NY) titled, &quot;The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community — and that Community’s Response.&quot;: &quot;I would rather see those hearings focus on extremism in America without focusing on an individual religious or ethnic group.&quot;

Now as a former member of the US Air Force, I would expect a more well-informed response. I fear Owens move from an Independent to a Democrat has hindered his ability to reason soundly. Perhaps, Rep. Owens is unaware of the following:
Since 9-11-01, almost 17,000 deadly terror attacks have been carried out by Islamic terrorists, globally.
Every terror attack had one unequivocal element in common: All the participants were of the Muslim faith.
The Buffalo Five al-Qaeda cell members: Sahim Alwan, Yahya Goba, Shafal Mosed, Yasein Taher and Faysal Galab, were ALL Muslim. 
The Fort Hood terrorist was a Muslim.
The Buffalo, NY man who beheaded his wife for bringing domestic violence charges against him, was a Muslim.
The man who attempted to blow up Times Square, was a Muslim.
In the past 35 years, 3,308 citizens were killed by Muslims in America in 65 separate terror attacks.

I guess Rep. Owens missed those &apos;aberrations&apos;... 

Rep. King has now had to hire extra security due to death threats he has been receiving domestically and overseas. Could Rep. Owens&apos; comments have contributed to the hostile response? Difficult to say...but one thing is for sure...some of his constituents disagree with his comments...

One of them happens to be a former US Senate candidate, Karen Bisso, who on Teamwatch.us, responded to the Congressman as follows:

&quot;What extremist group in America would Representative Owens want the commission to look at? After following the news for quite some time now, I scratch my head, deliberating over what group of people I would commission an investigation into which would fall under the category of “American Extremism?” After all, the hearings are set to examine radical Islam and any attempt to sway from that objective is to revise our history as of late and deflect from the issues at hand. Political correctness breeds complacency and will eventually lead to nothingness….a concept I don’t believe we have the luxury of living with as it will undoubtedly lead to us living without……. without security, without the principles and foundations this nation fought to secure (Judeo-Christian beliefs) and without trust; trust in a government which will secure our safety in spite of porous borders and religious zealots. Please do explain Congressman Owens which groups you would ask the commission to focus on?&quot;

Spot on, Ms. Bisso! Without adequate national security, all other issues are moot. And the question begs an answer...in light of a decade since 9-11, where should we be looking for the culprits...a convent? 

The fact that Rep. Owens would make such a statement should be alarming to every American. When our leaders are woefully clueless to the facts that are required to plan a valid security policy...we are in deep drek and this type won&apos;t lead to the sewer but rather...the graveyard.

Something for all citizens to consider leading up to 2012.

Shalom through strength...

            <description>Do we really need the US Department of Education? After all--US students achieved their highest S.A.T scores (1963) long before the department ever existed.

In fact--the only thing to rise since its creation is the dropout rate.

Yet (given the facts) President Obama wants to give this failed Leviathan $68 billion dollars for the 2012 fiscal year.

Just another episode of &quot;The Taxpayer And The Big Enema.&quot;

            <title>Islam: Don&apos;t Hate The Playa, Hate The Game</title>
            <description>That great &apos;philosopher&apos; ICE-T once said, &quot;Don&apos;t hate the playa, hate the game.&quot; For those of us who are not hip to the jive...a translation from Urban Dictionary:

Do not fault the successful participant in a flawed system; try instead to discern and rebuke that aspect of its organization which allows or encourages the behavior that has provoked your displeasure.

That&apos;s precisely the message from all conservatives concerning Islam: We do NOT hate Muslims...we hate the ideology of Islam!

It is an ideology of perverse and hateful dictates. Islam:
Demeans women and treats them as chattel.
Treats children as property to be used and abused.
Calls for the execution of homosexuals.
Murders unbelievers who refuse to convert or be enslaved.
Teaches the supremacy of Islam over all other religions.
Calls for the murder of all Muslims who leave Islam.
Promotes and participates in anti-Semitism.
And this is the tip of the minaret...

The dogma is responsible for fueling: Misogynists, pedophiles, anti-Semites and terrorists. (Muslims can never be accused of throwing a Love-In.)

The game is pernicious. It&apos;s a game of hate and blood-lusting. It destroys everything in its path to give the playa, blinded by his greed, a counterfeit reward.

The game was carefully crafted by a villainous man, to feed his odious passions. And anyone who adheres to his teachings, will simply disseminate his hate. 

Since 9-11, Allah&apos;s allies have carried out almost 17,000 deadly terror attacks on innocent people...and that is only a fraction of their attempts. But they weren&apos;t born that way...they were nurtured in vile verses from childhood. And hate produces hate, which culminates in death.

Is there hope for these people? You bet...because there are many who have left Islam. I know some personally. The numbers are a secret, though, since few want a fatwa on their head...or a sword at their throat.

So, here it is: It ain&apos;t the people...it&apos;s the poison. It&apos;s ain&apos;t the playa, it&apos;s the game.

The &apos;playa&apos; is the Muslim. The &apos;game&apos; is Islam. Guess which one has to go?

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Palestinian Anti-Semitism: The Cause Of &quot;Corroded Hopes&quot;</title>
            <description>&quot;For more than four decades, Israeli settlement activity has corroded hopes for peace and stability in the region.&quot;

This feckless (not to mention highly corrosive) comment was proffered by our very own UN Ambassador--Susan Rice.

Rice--like other craven US bureaucrats--will never utter the politically incorrect reason as to why the &quot;region&quot; is mired in bloody, protracted chaos: Palestinian anti-Semitism.

Palestinians (Muslims raised on Quranic dogma) believe that all Jews are pigs and therefore must be violently extirpated. They view Israel as an illegitimate state that must be driven into the sea (PLO creed).

And that is why every Palestinian text book contains a map of the Middle East which omits Israel.

Palestinian anti-Semitism: The cause of &quot;corroded hopes.&quot;

            <title>Fashion&apos;s Hideous Heart</title>
            <description>Women have been enamored with vogue since the Garden...we love to enhance our G-d-given attributes. And the fashion world has been playing to that desire for ages. But a recent incident in Paris has me wondering what type of beauty can emanate from the mind of a hideous heart...

For those of you who are unaware of the incident...John Galliano, now former head designer at Christian Dior, spewed a rant of Jew-hatred that made Mel Gibson look like a lover of Israel. At a Paris bar, in an inebriated state he said the following:

(At the Paris cafe La Perle, he assumed the people were Jewish):
&quot;I love Hitler...People like you would be dead today.  Your mothers, your forefathers would be f**ing gassed and f**ing dead.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;

For those ready to give him a defense of drunkenness...no sale. Inebriation is most often truth serum. These thoughts were not off the top of his head, but deep within his heart. Ideas that have been fed, nourished and mused over a lifetime. The alcohol simply pulls down the facade one has been crouching behind.
Gary L. Malone, MD, an addiction psychiatrist and the medical director and chief of psychiatry at Baylor All Saints Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, agrees with me...

&quot;You can&apos;t pour vodka on a turnip and have it say anti-Semitic remarks...When anyone drinks there is a neurological and psychological regression, and the higher the blood alcohol level, the more primitive and hostile the response that comes out...Alcohol can&apos;t make you think or feel things.&quot;

Indeed...just as Gibson&apos;s comments were not alcohol-driven but rather driven by hate...so too are Galliano&apos;s vicious barbs. 

And Christian Dior, having taken too long to finally fire the monster...has left a bad taste in my mouth for their company. Galliano&apos;s comments bubbled too easily to his pie-hole to be a secret. I&apos;m sure they must have been aware of his hateful inclinations prior to this crime.

Something further to ponder...The woman off camera asked Galliano if he had a problem, he responded, &quot;With you, you&apos;re ugly.&quot; She then asked, &quot;you don&apos;t like peace, you don&apos;t want peace in the world?&quot;  

His response, &quot;Not with people who are ugly, like you.&quot;

Now, can any real beauty come out of a hideous heart? Christian Dior...we now know the answer.

As a woman from a proud Jewish heritage, who has zero tolerance for anti-Semitism...it&apos;s time to rethink my fashion choices. And Dior will no longer be one of them.

Shalom through strength...

            <description>We&apos;ve all heard the mendacity ad nauseam...mention the Ten Commandments, the Judeo-Christian Bible or prayer on public property...the deafening shrieks of: SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE (NOT in the constitution, but rather in a letter from Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Assoc. to allay their concerns over the First Amendment).

Then comes Oklahoma SQ 755, banning Sharia Law in the state. It was passed by the voters and then something stupefying occurred...the American Bar Association and the NYCBAR (New York City Bar Association) had an epiphany...

They became warriors for Allah!!!

That&apos;s right...the first criticism from the NYCBAR came in late December of last year. In their report, THE UNCONSTITUTIONALITY OF OKLAHOMA REFERENDUM 755, the NYCBAR stated: That the amendment “will make conducting business and personal affairs more difficult not only for people who may choose to observe rules or principles based upon Sharia, but for all who have personal or business relationships with those people, including the more than 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide. As drafted, it will also needlessly reject the use of the law of other states by Oklahoma courts even in cases with no relation to Sharia law. The Question’s prohibition against consideration of ‘international law’ will confuse and complicate legal matters in Oklahoma for all those whose personal and business affairs relate to international affairs or matters in other countries. And in our globally-connected world, many of us have foreign and international involvements we are unaware of, including the entity that owns our own business or holds our mortgage. No state should so isolate its entire population, and denigrate a segment of its population that is entitled to the full protection of U.S. and State law.”

My, my...what a religious awakening! And for such a strict and draconian ideology. But wait... it doesn&apos;t end there...

Less than a week ago, the American Bar Association (ABA) decided to champion the fight for Sharia law. The ABA’s Executive Counsel “has organized a Task Force to review the legislation of 14 states — Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Wyoming — in which anti-Sharia legislation has been introduced.”

Wait...do I hear an Allah Akbar from the halls of justice? 

Now realize that Sharia Law calls for the imposition of theocracy over democracy, abuse of human rights,  institutionalized discrimination, denial of human dignity and individual autonomy, and severity of its punishments. Including stoning for women accused of adultery, hanging of those in the homosexual lifestyle, polygamy, maiming those caught stealing, etc.

ALL based on religion and the Quran...Islam&apos;s holy book.

Is ABA/NYCBAR conflicted over the history of their sacred mantra of &apos;separation of church and state&apos;? 

Are they experiencing &apos;Separation anxiety&apos;??

So, then I guess their bold move, in favor of religion, means they will be revisiting the issue of allowing prayer in the schools and the displaying of the Ten Commandments in public venues, right?

Because to do otherwise would be inequity and the pinnacle of hypocrisy. And they could NEVER be accused of that, could they...?

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Send In The Ferry</title>
            <description>While world leaders from China, Germany, Great Britain and France deployed military ships and aircraft to rescue their citizens from the bloody conflagration in Libya--our Commander in Chief dispatched a FERRY.

In an endless attempt to appear non-militaristic--President Obama has once again exposed his pusillanimous prunes on the world stage.

And the end result will prove catastrophic: A much stronger Iran by virtue of feasting on the entrails of US cowardice and appeasement.

            <title>World&apos;s Ugliest Drag Queen Needs To Pay For Lockerbie Bombing</title>
            <description>&quot;When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.&quot; --Proverbs 21:15

&quot;When justice is done&quot;...something the families of the victims of the Lockerbie terror bombing have been waiting for in vain, since December 21, 1988.

For those who are unfamiliar with the Lockerbie terror bombing...here&apos;s a brief review of the facts:
A Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet from London&apos;s Heathrow Airport headed to New York&apos;s JFK International Airport blew up over Lockerbie, Scotland...killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew members aboard and 11 people on the ground. 
Several security warnings, including one from Arafat&apos;s PLO, were either carelessly overlooked or disregarded. 
An indictment came down on November 13, 1991, for Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, a Libyan intelligence officer and the head of security for Libyan Arab Airlines (LAA), and Lamin Khalifah Fhimah, the LAA station manager in Luqa Airport, Malta. United Nations sanctions against Libya and protracted negotiations with the Libyan leader Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi secured the handover of the accused on April 5, 1999. 
Megrahi was found guilty on January 31, 2001. Sentenced to life in prison in Scotland, BUT was released on false claims of a terminal illness. 
On February 23, 2011, Mustafa Mohamed Abud Al Jeleil, former Justice Secretary of Libya, claimed to have evidence that Gaddafi personally ordered Al-Megrahi to carry out the bombing. 
So, the self-titled &apos;King of Kings of Africa&apos;, &apos;Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People&apos;s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya&apos;, &apos;Brotherly Leader and Guide of the Revolution&apos;, &apos;Mad Dog of the Middle East&apos; (President Reagan&apos;s apropos moniker), and, in my humble opinion, the &apos;World&apos;s Ugliest Drag Queen&apos;, Muammar Gaddafi: IS responsible for all 270 murders at Lockerbie.

Will he be brought to justice? Tragically, for the families of the hundreds of victims...not likely. Even if the rioters gave him over to Western authorities (not out of a desire for freedom and democracy, but out of a disgust for their economic system), justice would not be done. Not under Obama...and sadly, neither would it have been done under Bush.

Tens of thousands of terror attacks have been perpetrated by Islamofascists since the 1980s. And the West, with a plethora of info to prove that 
adherence to the Quran is highly perilous for non-Muslims...will ultimately fail to protect us.

Proverbs 29:2 states: &quot;When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bears rule, the people mourn.&quot;

May we see the day when justice is finally done, and we mourn no more.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>The Greatest Global Crime Against Women, Part 1</title>
            <description>When one thinks of crimes, most often acts such as robbery, assault and murder come to mind. And in a world where evil exists, this is expected. But what if there was a crime wave, which includes a plethora of heinous deeds, that began in 622 A.D., that is still spreading today...like a plague. It is one of the most fiendish he-man woman-haters clubs of all time. Established by a pedophilic, misogynistic, barbarian, named Abu al-Qasim Muhammad Ibn Abd Allah Ibn Abd al-Muttalib Ibn Hashim (Muhammed, for short). And even more unbelievable...this crime wave is tragically ignored in the West.

You&apos;ll recognize it as the ideology of: Islam.

Far too many women live today under the bondage of the draconian fist of this ideology...approximately half of the 1.5 billion Muslims globally. And far too many women have succumbed to its hatred, far too many to be swept under the prayer rug...at least by this woman.

The seething fountain of hate toward females is too enormous to cover in one part, but we&apos;ll try to begin with some hate, straight from the Quran:
Women are filthy and polluting creatures. (Sura 2:222; 4:43; 5:6)
Women are sex objects for men&apos;s pleasure. (Sura 2:223 [Bukhari 50:51 in Hadith]) Your women are your fields, so go into your fields whichever way you like. (MAS Abdel Haleem, The Quran, Oxford UP, 2004)
Infidel women can be captured by Muslim men as sex-slave booty. (Sura 4:24; 4:25; 23:5,6; 33:52; 24:34; 70:29-30, 35)
A woman&apos;s testimony is worth only half that of a man&apos;s. (Sura 2:282) The Prophet said, &quot;Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?&quot; The women said, &quot;Yes.&quot; He said, &quot;This is because of the deficiency of a woman’s mind.&quot; (Bukhari)
Women are inferior to men. (Sura 2:228; 4:11; 4:176; 53:27; 37:149-155)
Women are to receive horrific punishment. (Sura 4:15)
Women get fewer places in Allah&apos;s paradise than men. (Sura 37:22-23)
This is merely scratching the surface of the barbarity and disdain toward women under Islam...much more exists...especially by way of testimonies of the women who have escaped, barely alive, to tell their terrifying tales...

There is a plethora of empirical evidence (true stories) that proves that Muslim (and non-Muslim) women, who marry Muslim men...are treated as Islam has instructed men to treat them: As chattel. Like animals...beaten if they disobey...and murdered if they attempt to leave Islam. Barred from freedoms of every kind...and then told it&apos;s done to &apos;protect&apos; them...a lie to keep them captive.

But these few items listed above pale in comparison to the habitual practice of what is known as Honor Killings: The misogynist attitude of Muslim men, come to fruition. Honor Killing is the practice of murdering the female member of the family who is perceived to have stained the family honor. It is practiced in many parts of the Muslim world. 

Despite the fact that we have had Honor Killings here on our sod, most Americans haven&apos;t the vaguest idea what the heinous practice is. But our leaders do. Sadly they haven&apos;t the testicular fortitude to do anything to deter it. Even law enforcement refuses to recognize the practice for what it is: Premeditated.

Truly discouraging to the point of frightening for women in the West. But something that must be addressed...

Allow me to leave part 1 with a comedy bit by BJ Novak:

&quot;I think we&apos;ve all heard why these terrorists are so highly motivated, because they&apos;re told that waiting for them in heaven are 72 virgins. And for those terrorists, that&apos;s a great thing to look forward to. For those virgins, heaven isn&apos;t quite what they expected, is it. I would hate to get that talk as a young child: You be a good little girl. You must always wear a burqa, you must always wear a veil. You may not go to school. You may not have a job. You may not learn to read. You may not vote, you may not sing, dance, play games or listen to music. You must live a life of absolute humility and celibacy, and when you die...you will go to heaven...where you will be a sex slave for terrorists.&quot; 

There&apos;s great truth in humor...think about it...

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Mike Pence, Black Babies And The Nobel Peace Prize</title>
            <description>OIB has a strong suggestion for the Congressional Black Caucus: Recommend Rep. Mike Pence for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Why? Because Pence is proposing legislation to defund the largest abortion provider in America, Planned Parenthood (PP). And as the Caucus is well aware--PP has over 70% of its abortion mills in the black community.

So, by pushing to defund this genocidal, quasi-Nazis organization--Pence will save thousands of innocent black babies from being destroyed in the 21st century&apos;s new gas chamber: The Womb.

Mike Pence: Nobel Laureate.

            <title>Iran: The Epicenter Of Evil</title>
            <description>Irrespective of the outcome in Egypt: The epicenter of the Middle East remains Iran. The belligerent Islamic Republic not only foments and finances terrorism on a global scale--but also continues to march unimpeded towards mushroom cloud capability.

And that capability could cause worldwide economic convulsions if the Republic decides to blockade the Strait of Hormuz.

Furthermore--Tehran will seek to dominate Iraq (once our remaining troops withdraw by the end of the year) in an attempt to establish a Shia crescent in the region.

Not to mention the increased leverage and power Iran&apos;s proxies Hamas and Hezbollah will enjoy if the Punks of Persia go nuclear.

Iran: The epicenter of evil.

            <title>Developing An Allergy To Peanuts, Especially The OLD Ones</title>
            <description>Every time former president Jimmy &apos;Dhimmi&apos; Carter opens his pie-hole, the childhood song, &apos;Found A Peanut&apos;, comes to mind...and specifically the lyric, &quot;It was rotten&quot;...

The former Genius-in-Chief, who was anything but...proves again and again why he was the worst president in our recent history. And it&apos;s quite astonishing how a graduate of the Naval Academy could proffer up the idiocies he does (did he hit his head on graduation day?)...yet his bumbling blather continues.

He imparted his acumen on the subject of the Muslim Brotherhood at an event held at the LBJ Library at the University of Texas this week. He admitted that the Muslim Brotherhood has ties with Hezbollah (the terror group that murdered 241 of our Marines as they slept) in Lebanon and whose headquarters are in Damascus...and he confessed that they have ties to Hamas, the duly elected terror group who controls Gaza. And then he continues...

&quot;I think the Muslim Brotherhood is not anything to be afraid of in the upcoming (Egyptian) political situation and the evolution I see as most likely...They will be subsumed in the overwhelming demonstration of desire for freedom and true democracy.&quot;

Jimmy&apos;s a SUPER-GENIUS!! 

He&apos;s either starting a new sport called X-treme Idiots...or he is clueless to the radical Islamic history of this flesh-eating organism that preys on innocent infidels for personal gain.

The Muslim Brotherhood is a vile collection founded in 1928, by Hassan El Banna (who worked along with Hitler). They are founded on the purest and most radical form of Islam, Wahhabism...from which Sharia Law sprang. Amin Al-Husseini (Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during the Nazi reign of terror) became a prominent member. Yasser Arafat was a member. And so on, ad infinitum...every Muslim monster, since its inception, has either emanated or was influenced by this gaggle of ghouls.

...and they&apos;re &quot;not anything to be afraid of...?&quot; 

OK...has Carter gone to snorting peanuts now?

He also added that he didn&apos;t think that the people of Egypt favored the Brotherhood or Sharia Law. Apparently he didn&apos;t see the recent Pew poll that revealed that 95% of Egyptians wanted Islamic rule over them. He also stated concerning the protesters, &quot;The demonstrators will not accept anything less than honest, fair and open elections.&quot; As they did in Gaza, Mr. Carter? Like the one you observed where the people voted in the terror group Hamas?

Actually, what the protesters really want is economic reform, NOT freedom and democracy...Oh Sage One...

So it would be feckless if we took your advice...as many did during your administration. You applauded the return of Ayatollah Khomeini to Iran in 1979...the fiend responsible for the hostage crisis. 

Oh teach me, Perspicacious One...

Some counsel for Mr. Carter to ponder: Those who can, do. Those who can&apos;t, teach. And those who can do neither...should SIT DOWN and SHUT UP!

Shalom through strength...

            <title>The Deleterious Effects Of Idiocy</title>
            <description>The deleterious effects of IDIOCY where on display last week when DNI James Clapper stated that an organization (whose logo is crossed swords under a Koran) was &quot;largely secular&quot; and had &quot;eschewed violence.&quot;

Clapper&apos;s comment about the Muslim Brotherhood (which not only spawned al Qaeda--but also contrives to construct a global Islamic empire based on Sharia law) was yet another disquieting and worrisome example that the Obama Administration just doesn&apos;t get it.

And just what doesn&apos;t it get? That organizations such as the Brotherhood exist for one reason: To propagate Islam by any means necessary.

            <title>Modern-Day Kapos: Via The Swiss</title>
            <description>At a time when Israel, the only democracy and our only ally in the Middle East, is surrounded by an ever-seething brood of vipers...the last thing we, as their supporters, should tolerate are modern-day Kapos...

If you&apos;re unfamiliar with the term...they were the turncoat Jews in the death camps who worked for the Nazis...against their kinsmen. The official Nazi word was Funktionshäftling, or &quot;prisoner functionary&quot;, but the Nazis generally referred to them as Kapos.  

And I&apos;ll bet you didn&apos;t know we had Kapos alive and well...and slithering around our nation&apos;s capital?! Well we do...and they&apos;re making plans to do as their ancestors did but this time...they&apos;re consulting with the enemy in Switzerland...

J Street, that faux pro-Israel group...largely funded by George &apos;Kapo&apos; Soros...planned a &apos;peace&apos; event at the end of February which is more than likely to become an anti-Israel calumny session. Why? Because the list of attendees is a carefully calculated roll of Libs, Israel-loathers and fifth columns that secretly love to see the Jewish State fall. Some due to severe naiveté...others for selfish gain. And still others from a worldview that lacks even a glimpse of reality.

The list includes from the left and far-left in the Israeli government: MKs Orit Zuaretz (Kadima), Nachman Shai (Kadima), Shlomo Molla (Kadima), and Amir Peretz (Labor). 

And from the radical left in Israel, groups such as: 
B&apos;Tselem (The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories) - the &quot;Occupied Territories&quot; in their name reveals their perspective on who owns Israel. They have much controversy surrounding their funding, their faux reports concerning Israel&apos;s defense against her neighbors and using the term &apos;apartheid&apos; as Israel&apos;s enemies do.
Yesh Din - on record reporting lies about Israel&apos;s behavior.
Rabbis for Human Rights - on record disseminating lies about the Jewish State and the head, Asherman, seen collaborating with the PA. (He has also been accused of inciting violence by telling Arabs to farm on Jewish lands...what a mensch!)
Breaking the Silence - hosted the Founder of the Ground Zero Mosque at their conference, on record spreading lies from fictitious IDF soldiers who accuse Israel of War Crimes, etc.
Oh I don&apos;t know...who&apos;d they miss on the list...Satan?

No good can come from this kind of event...that is, no good for Israel...the tip of the spear in the war on terror. No good for democracy...since the Arab neighbors are Muslim and democracy and Islam don&apos;t mix. And no good for the US...since Israel is in the vanguard of the war on terror, and they are perceived as the West in the Middle East...if they go down...we&apos;re next.

The Swiss are a major sponsor of the event...and I&apos;m wondering if this is a way the Swiss government desired to acquiesce to its Muslim population, since they lost their battle against their own non-Muslim citizens, in preventing a ban on minarets? 

If so, they have once again proved that the cavern between their ears is greater than the holes in their cheese.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>It&apos;s Time For The Ghouls Of Gaza To Let Gilad Go</title>
            <description>It&apos;s been almost 5 years since an Israeli soldier was captured on June 25, 2006 by Hamas (a terrorist tentacle of the Muslim Brotherhood) in a cross-border assault. He was captured near the Kerem Shalom crossing (in Israel), and has been a prisoner in the Gaza Strip, by Hamas, ever since. 

That soldier is 24 yr old Gilad Shalit, Israeli/French citizen who was defending his homeland from foreign invasion. Hamas has refused to allow anyone to see him. They have rejected requests by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to allow the ICRC to visit Shalit under the premise that any such visit could reveal the location where Shalit is being held. Numerous human rights groups have stated that the terms and conditions of Shalit&apos;s imprisonment are contrary to international humanitarian law. 

But the faithful followers of &quot;Allah most merciful&quot; couldn&apos;t give a flying fig about humanitarian laws, since they don&apos;t consider Jews to be human...

So here&apos;s a question I&apos;ve pondered for quite a while: Where is the global outcry from all those touchy-feely, compassionate Libs...on Gilad&apos;s behalf? 

What&apos;s the matter? Allah got your tongue by his PC sword?

There is NO reason on G-d&apos;s green earth that Gilad should still be under the filthy keffiyeh-wrapped thumb of Muslim Brotherhood barbarians. Yet not one leader, in the free world, has demanded that Hamas release Gilad Shalit to his family and his country.

As much as I respected him, Bush didn&apos;t, and he should&apos;ve. Obama didn&apos;t and he won&apos;t. Liberal leaders haven&apos;t because they cringe at the thought of offending Muslim sensibilities. But sadly, even the supporters of Israel, conservative leaders, have done bupkis in support of Gilad&apos;s release.

What the freak is happening in the free world? 

Are we so gripped by trepidation that we refuse to stand up for truth? Do we value our necks more than we value the freedom and justice many have laid down their lives to maintain? If so, we are not worthy of the gift of such liberty...

The outcry for this soldier must be heard. His life is precious as is the cause for which he volunteered: The preservation of the Jewish State....the only true beacon of freedom and democracy in the Middle East.

Our hue and cry should be felt in our Nation&apos;s Capital till our leaders&apos; weak and feeble vertebrae are fortified enough to demand the safe return of one of Israel&apos;s heroes. 

It&apos;s time for the Ghouls of Gaza to let Gilad go...for the sake of freedom.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Weak, Feeble And Credulous</title>
            <description>The mere thought that President Obama is of the belief that the Muslim Brotherhood can be a viable part of any government is beyond frightening.

Lest we forget: The brotherhood spawned such odious organizations as Hamas, al Qaeda, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad. Together these Islamo-killing machines have filled a plethora of body bags with the innocent.

Obama&apos;s misguided belief concerning the Muslim Brotherhood not only demonstrates a dearth of foreign policy acumen--but also let&apos;s our enemies (and allies) know just how weak, feeble and credulous he truly is.

            <title>Europe In Full Burqa</title>
            <description>Multiculturalism&apos;s vile stench continues to waft its way through Europe. From dogmatic imams who preach the destruction of Great Britain to rabid hordes of Muslim teenagers who gang-rape with near impunity in Denmark--these events are the caustic manifestations of a liberal policy gone bad.

And that is exactly why conservative British PM David Cameron (in a security speech delivered last week) stridently declared that the era of the &quot;multicultural state&quot; is over.

The PM fully understands that if this liberal experiment isn&apos;t stopped: Europe will one day be in full burqa.

            <title>Barry&apos;s Figment Policy: It&apos;s All In His Head</title>
            <description>One of the biggest criticisms of the president on the campaign road was that of his lack of experience. And in particular, his lack of Foreign Policy experience, which is precisely why Joe Biden was put on the ticket (and I&apos;m still scratching my head on that one). It is now evident, for all to see...friend and foe alike...the glaring &apos;genius&apos; that is this administrations Foreign Affairs acumen...it is par for the course with their overall ideology...

I call it: Figment Policy.

Their approach to everything is idealistic, with total evasion to the consequences of their actions. This is the typical result of liberal parenting...where there are no consequences for actions. The concept of bad choices is absent. And they believe everything will magically fix itself...

I believe in Psychiatry it&apos;s defined as a fixed false belief that is resistant to reason or confrontation with actual fact...or simply: Delusional.

They imagine the process and outcome, utter it, and it is so...in their heads. Perhaps they forgot the &apos;abracadabra&apos; part...

Foreign Affairs are a delicate and complicated endeavor and must NOT be handled by those who are naive or whose integrity is challenged. 

Obama&apos;s response to the Egyptian protests reveals a profound ignorance of history and reality in the region. And that spells peril for our only true ally in the region, Israel...and for our national security. But the &apos;world citizen&apos; and his court jester, are seriously clueless and because of their fantasy approach to foreign relations...it will prove, at least, a burden to our economic situation...on top of our high unemployment. If gas prices drastically increase, that will affect not only travel, but food, clothing, home goods and recreation prices. 

But fear not...in Barry and Joe&apos;s world, you simply wave the wand of your golden tongue and everyone lives happily ever after...until the nurse brings your next dose of Thorazine...

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Retards And The Masters Of Misogyny</title>
            <description>Those in the Liberal Media (LM) who have been slavishly peddling the Muslim Brotherhood as an innocuous organization are simply retarded.

Why? Because the Brotherhood was established (back in 1928) for the singular purpose of constructing a global Islamic hegemony. Yes, a worldwide caliphate (based on Sharia law) that would violently and mercilessly subjugate women (not to mention Jews and Christians).

In fact--it&apos;s original creed &quot;Islam is the solution&quot; says it all.

And there isn&apos;t a scintilla of evidence to support the LM&apos;s much bandied about notion that the Masters of Misogyny have had a kumbaya moment.

In short: The Muslim Brotherhood loves to hate [kill] women.

            <title>&quot;Now&quot; Is No Damn Good</title>
            <description>President Obama&apos;s strident call for change in Egypt &quot;now&quot; has only served to escalate an already tense situation. And (truth be told) if now comes to fruition the country would be co-opted by the best organized political cohort--the hyper-virulent Muslim Brotherhood.

The best way to defuse the situation is for Mubarak to step down--and allow newly appointed VP Omar Suleiman to take the reins. Why is this best? Because the military is considered the most venerated and respected institution among Egyptians. And given the fact that Suleiman is a former high ranking military commander--this gives him a certain amount of gravitas with the people.

If change is come to Egypt--it must come in a very slow and deliberate fashion.

A call for NOW! is a call for Islamic despotism.

            <title>Thanks To Obama: Hell No, Mubarak Won&apos;t Go!</title>
            <description>As the protests turn violent in Egypt, by the incursion of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB)...the US president has decided to speak out. But is what he&apos;s saying sage?

With all due respect: HELL no!!

First, he sent VP Joe Biden out to ignorantly declare that he didn&apos;t &quot;think Mubarak&quot; was &quot;a dictator.&quot; That&apos;s Joe &apos;foreign policy gravitas&quot; Biden speaking?

Second, he sent Sec. of State Hillary Clinton to admonish the Egyptian government to respect the rights of their citizens and to make democratic reforms...which is STUNNING in the face of their silence in support of the Iranian protesters and their claim that Ahjad (Ahmadinejad) was duly elected...

But his genius doesn&apos;t end there...

The Diplomat-in-Chief has now come out to demand that Mubarak resign and that &quot;democratic reforms happen NOW&quot;...consequently fueling and aiding the MB.   

And just guess what Mubarak&apos;s reaction was to Barry&apos;s dictate?

Well, he didn&apos;t grab his duds and run screaming into Saudi Arabia...he defiantly and essentially said: HELL NO, I WON&apos;T GO!!

Efficacious work there, Barry...

It is NOT in our best interest to have the MB involved in the government of Egypt. So, we should try taking the side, however distasteful, of the regime who is keeping stability in the region...and that AIN&apos;T the Brotherhood.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>They Too Couldn&apos;t Let A Crisis Go To Waste</title>
            <description>Though you&apos;re just beginning to see reports, in the US media, concerning the current conflagration sweeping across the Middle East (ME)...there&apos;s much to be concerned about...

There are two schools of thought on the protests:

1. The first school of thought comes from Amir Taheri, of the NY Post, who claims that what&apos;s going on in Tunisia is a new Arab Street...people who desire democracy. There are women in western garb in the streets protesting...which would NEVER be permitted under a Muslim regime.
2. The second comes from the terrorism expert Robert Spencer, who believes that although it may look hopeful on the surface, that the MB is driving the riots in Egypt, Yemen and Jordan...to their advantage.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Muslim Brotherhood...here&apos;s their motto: &quot;Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Quran is our way. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.&quot;

They are a terrorist organization with tentacles in 70 countries. They are able to operate out of Egypt under the guise of a non-violent, political, humanitarian organization. They agreed to this guise after several assassination attempts on Egyptian President Mubarak years ago. They were outlawed in Egypt, in 1948. They denounced violence in the &apos;70s and began a campaign of humanitarian efforts, to get back into the good graces of the people.

Similar to the American Left, the MB believes you should never let a crisis go to waste...so, when the legitimate protests for freedom broke out in Tunisia, the wheels of their machinations began to turn and they began to foment the protests in Egypt, Yemin and Jordan. Their &apos;support&apos; for the Egyptian protests began today (Friday) as they encouraged their followers to enter the riots.

Their intentions are to create a Muslim State ruled by Shariah Law...and they will use any means to achieve their goal.

This unrest is simply the best opportunity to oust a secular Mubarak regime...and install their own draconian rule.

What the US does now is critical. For the War on Terror. For people in the Arab world who long to break free from Islamic tyranny. And for the security of our Republic.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Way Hypocritical</title>
            <description>OIB finds it beyond hypocritical how President Obama has called for democratic reforms in Egypt while flouting the very will of the American people with his flagrant dogmatism.

Make no mistake: ObamaCare is an onerous blanket of socialism designed to smother freedom and choice.

            <title>No More Dangerous Than Sponge Bob</title>
            <description>According to the Pew Research Center the Muslim population in America will exceed 6.2 million by the year 2030. This is a highly disquieting number to those of us who reject the politically correct notion that Islam is a religion of &quot;peace.&quot;

If--for example--half of this cohort adheres to Wahhabism (traditional Islam)--that would mean over 3 million Allah Akbar shouting, Koran thumping psychopaths within our borders programmed to shed infidel blood.

And they certainly won&apos;t be deterred (from unleashing their machinations) by a government that believes Islam is no more dangerous than Sponge Bob.

            <title>Bad For Israel, Bad For Us, Bad For Freedom</title>
            <description>In life, change is inevitable...but not all change is good...

Case in point...the once beautiful &quot;Switzerland of the Middle East&quot;...Lebanon...has appeased itself into a pit that it now cannot crawl out of. It didn&apos;t occur overnight, but rather over years of mollifying the radical Muslim community in Lebanon. And now, their lifestyle of acquiescing to the terrorist group Hezbollah, will spell their demise...

The recent former PM of Lebanon, Saad Hariri (whose late father attempted to save Lebanon&apos;s sovereignty from Iran&apos;s stronghold by Hezbollah) has proven to be a tremendous disgrace to his country and his father&apos;s memory. He stepped down as PM following pressure from the Hezbollah faction that was permitted into the Lebanese government. (Oh, I failed to mention...Hezbollah murdered his father.)

As a judicial inquiry began into Hezbollah&apos;s role in the Hariri assassination, Hezbollah threatened to &quot;cut off the hands&quot; of whoever tries to accuse &quot;one single member&quot; of the group in the Hariri execution. Hezbollah then refused to form a unity government with Hariri and Saad stepped down...leaving the door open for Hezbollah to take over...

And indeed they will...

So why is this bad for Israel? This is their neighbor to the north...and the wars fought with Lebanon have been with Hezbollah. This leaves a democracy...Israel...open to attack, yet again.

How is this bad for the US? Since its inception, Hezbollah has been a murder machine for Islam...desiring, by force, to fulfill Allah&apos;s wishes of a one world Ummah (Muslim unity). And they began their endeavor by slaughtering 241 US Marines as they slept, in 1983...who were in Beirut on a peacekeeping mission.

Accomplishing their mission would mean no more Jewish State (and no Jews, if they were able). No freedom in the region, which means democracy dies. And encouragement for Jihadists globally to kill the infidels &quot;wherever you find them&quot;. And since we are the &apos;Great Satan&apos; to the Muslim world...WE&apos;RE not all too safe...

They do not believe in freedom, nor individual rights, nor equality...nor the value of an infidel&apos;s life. 

The only people who can save Lebanon now are the Lebanese. That is, only if they still love liberty. 

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Triangulation My A**!</title>
            <description>To all those credulous conservatives out there who fervently believe President Obama is now engaged in triangulation: Give me a freakin&apos; break!

The fact that Obama will defend *ObamaCare (to the bitter end) is irrefutable proof that he is a committed left-wing dogmatist.

Lest we forget: ObamaCare is a demonstrable piece of hyper-socialistic legislation designed to neuter America&apos;s free market system.

Triangulation my a**!


*According to most conservative think tanks ObamaCare co-opts over one sixth of the US economy.

            <title>Bloomberg: Business Ho Or Modern Day Kapo?</title>
            <description>It is no secret that NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg has been the leading proponent of the Cordoba Initiative or Ground Zero Mosque, since the controversy began. He&apos;s been more pro-Muslim about securing its construction than most Muslims have in this country.

Ok, before you call him magnanimous and plant a big wet one on Hizzoner&apos;s cheek, let&apos;s look a bit beyond his nasality and defensive drivel before the cameras...and view the REAL motive for his Islamic wooing...

Michael Bloomberg is well respected in the business sector for his acumen. The multi-billionaire is founder of Bloomberg L.P., a privately owned financial software, media, and data company. Bloomberg LP makes up 1/3 of the $23.7 billion global financial data market with estimated revenue of $6.9 billion. It has grown to include a global news service, with television, radio, the Internet and printed publications.

Bloomberg LP has an Islamic finance portal via a Bloomberg hub at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). The DIFC is the world’s fastest growing international financial center. It intends to develop the same prominence as New York, London and Hong Kong. According to the DIFC website: 

The DIFC is a 110-acre free zone. It is part of the larger vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, together with the Government of Dubai...

That means that the DIFC is under Sharia Law. Not sure Hizzoner will like the consequences of that, but I digress...

Bloomberg LP announced in March of last year that it plans to double revenues by 2014, in the region (Dubai). That&apos;s quite an assiduous undertaking. And as in all business dealings...you need positive PR.

Enter: Mike Bloomberg...Dhimmi Supreme and savior of the Cordoba House. 

He has supported and sheltered the building of this Islamic victory symbol with the tenacity of a mama bear protecting her cubs. What better PR for his Dubai hub and its ambitious aims...

And NO one sees this as a conflict of interest? 

If the Mayor had an iota of integrity, he would have recused himself from the entire situation. But alas, not a speck of veracity to be found (perhaps &apos;Hizzoner&apos; should now be Hizzdishonor)...

Tragically, this 2 term (I bought my 3rd term) Mayor cares far more for his bank account than he does for the safety of the citizens of his city OR the national security of the country that allowed him to acquire the wealth he now possesses.

Now, a Business Ho is similar to any other whore...they would sell out anything for the for their own profit, in this case, for his business. Back in the days of the Third Reich, there were similar degenerates who sold out their Jewish kinsmen to the Nazis for temporal benefits...they were known as Kapos. 

My question: Is Hizzoner a Business Ho for endangering our country&apos;s national security by growing his profits under our enemy&apos;s domain? Or is he more of a Kapo, by attempting to give our enemies a strategic sway over us for temporal benefits? 

I think it&apos;s a little of both...

Shalom through strength...

            <title>&quot;The Prophet And The Pigtails&quot;</title>
            <description>Here&apos;s a suggestion: Since Hollywood has such a glaring penchant for producing films that glorify sexually aberrant and deviant behavior--maybe it should consider making a movie about the prophet Mohammad?

Yes, a deeply passionate pedophilic story about a 57 year old man who wedded a six year old girl named Aisha--and then consummated the marriage when she reached the ripe old age of 9.

And guess what? OIB has the perfect name for such a flick: &quot;The Prophet and The Pigtails.&quot;

Oh, and it really should be filmed in France so Roman Polanski can direct it.

Just a suggestion.

            <title>Shallowness (Wrapped In Style)</title>
            <description>So, what has taken place since President Obama pressed the &quot;Restart&quot; button with Russia: It recently announced that if it felt &quot;threatened&quot; by the West it would disregard the New Start Treaty. It continues to build nuclear reactors in Iran. It continues to sell ballistic missile technology to North Korea. And it continues to develop close ties with such anti-American regimes as Syria, Venezuela and China.

This is what happens when a nation elects shallowness (wrapped in style) over substance.

            <title>All Roads Lead To The Brotherhood Or Mr. Rogers Comes To Ground Zero</title>
            <description>&quot;Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur&apos;an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.&quot;
                        -Muslim Brotherhood motto


They have branches in 70 countries (including the US). They have been responsible for murdering over 10 million people in half a century. And they are getting stronger and expanding everyday...with the help of feckless world leaders and governments. THEY are the Muslim Brotherhood (MB)...

...and they intend to complete their mission...

Before we see their latest move in the US...here&apos;s a brief history of the MB:
Established in 1902 by Ibn Saud and with the revival of Wahhabism (extremist and purest form of Islam). Saud created Wahhabi indoctrination centers (Ikhwan, meaning brotherhoods). 
The discovery of Saudi oil reserves in 1920 eventually became the bank for today&apos;s jihad.
In 1928, the MB was established in Egypt by Hassan El Banna (who worked along with Hitler).
The MB is built upon Wahhabi foundations. 
Amin Al-Husseini (Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during the Nazi reign of terror) became a prominent member of MB. Al-Husseini was an architect, with Hitler, of the &apos;Final Solution&apos; for the Jews.
In 1948, Egyptian-born Yasser Arafat became a member of the MB. He worked under Al-Husseini from the age 17. He popularized the hijacking of airliners.
In 1978, the first offspring of MB, Jihad Islami, was founded in Egypt, in response to the Camp David Agreement. Group&apos;s goal is to restore Islamic Wahhabi autocracy in Egypt.
In 1987, Hamas was founded in Gaza...the offspring of the MB.
First and Second Intifadas (1987-2002) were instigated by Hamas.
In 1988, Saudi-born Osama Bin Laden strengthened his ties with Al-Zahawiri of Jihad Islami. He created Al Qaeda, a strongly anti-Western network of ex-Mujahedeen. Al Qaeda means ‘the Base’.With this journey of jihad in mind, let&apos;s now take a peak at the MB tentacle at the Ground Zero Mosque...

The noble info campaign and freedom rally of resistance against the Cordoba Initiative last Sept. 11th, by Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, was a successful round one in this fight to maintain our freedom and security. The outed Jihadist proponent, Imam Rauf, has been replaced...but, not by Mr. Rogers. This replacement is not likely to make it &quot;a beautiful day in the neighborhood&quot; for any one of us...

Abdullah Adhami is his name. He was born in our country&apos;s capital, schooled in Shariah since he was the age of 8. He has earned academic licenses from many renowned scholars in Damascus, Egypt and Morocco (hotbeds for jihad activity). Adhami also holds a degree in architecture from the Pratt Institute in NYC. He voluntarily designed the new Masjid At-Taqwa (in Brooklyn) where Siraj Wahaj is the Imam. 

Remember Wahaj? He is an unindicted co-conspirator in the &apos;93 bombing of the World Trade Center.

All together now...&quot;It&apos;s a beautiful day in this neighborhood, A beautiful day for a neighbor. Would you be mine? Could you be mine?...&quot;

Rauf was round one in this fight. The bell has just rung for round two...

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Only If Dems Put Some Fruit In The Loom</title>
            <description>Perhaps after the next shooting tragedy (or terrorist attack)--when &apos;intrepid&apos; Democrats rush to the podium to publicly denounce oratory, manifestos, political dogmas and books that provoke violence--they will include the Koran?

After all--this ancient text has been used as the blueprint for unimaginable atrocities (including genocides in Armenia, Sudan, Egypt, Nigeria, Cyprus, Iraq and beyond) since it was first scribbled by Muhammad while lounging on a sand dune.

It was also considered sacrosanct by the Nazis who used its baneful prose to draft the Final Solution.

Perhaps after the next shooting? Only if Dems put some fruit in the loom.

            <title>Just A Wee Bit</title>
            <description>Isn&apos;t it just a wee bit hypocritical when certain politicians (who enjoy taxpayer funded gold plated medical coverage, large expense accounts, exorbitant pensions, etc.) excoriate municipal unions and their members for &quot;milking&quot; the American people?</description>

            <title>The Pit Of Appeasement</title>
            <description>Nicknamed the &apos;Switzerland of the Middle East&apos;, a land of great beauty and history, situated on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea, with a mountain range that emerges majestically from the sea to snow-capped mountain peaks that tower over 10,000 feet. It&apos;s Lebanon...with its famous Cedars nestled in the mountains of the north. An amazing place mentioned in the Judeo-Christian Bible (i.e. Kings, Psalms, Song of Songs, and Isaiah). A once sought-after vacation spot worldwide...but alas, no more. 

And the reason stands as a caveat to the wise...

It began in the 1970s...the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization), led by the late (thank G-d) Yasser Arafat, joined the unrest created by the Muslims, against the Christians, in Lebanon. Although the persecution was fierce from the &apos;religion of peace&apos;, the Christians fought back...but eventually began to surrender to the Muslims. And it began with the feckless Taif Accord...where Lebanon began to lose its sovereignty to the Arab nations. 

The Taif Accord or Charter of National Reconciliation, was signed on October 22, 1989, in the city of Taif, Saudi Arabia. It represented the end of the turbulent civil war (1975-1989). More importantly, it symbolized Syria’s triumph to impose the Syrian order upon Lebanon.

Lebanon&apos;s signature on this document began the decline and surrender of their sovereignty as a nation...and was the impetus behind the current collapse of their government. 

Their agreement with this accord was tantamount to bending over and kissing their nation&apos;s tukis bubye...

The Christians allowed the Muslim mindset, of hatred for the Jews, to be inculcated into their culture. As Hezbollah, Iran&apos;s barbarians, fed by Syria...have slowly but surely, swallowed the Lebanese government...with the aid of invertebrates like Lebanese PM Saad Hariri.

Since it is far too late for the non-Muslims in Lebanon to take back their country...my hope is that countries worldwide will carefully take note of the reward of appeasing the violent.

As I&apos;ve stated in the past: Until the free world understands that appeasement NEVER works for the cause of freedom, we will continue to fall into an interminable pit of bondage...from which there will be no return.

Pray for Lebanon...they have fallen into the pit.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Siding Against Freedom: The Folly Of Fools</title>
            <description>Our leadership has made a career of denying bias on their part, in the Middle East conflict. Are we taking sides and should we?

One administration after another has declared that they are unbiased in their intervention between Israel and her enemies. Our chosen role as mediator between the two parties, is foolish...precisely because one party [Israel] values freedom, and the other [PA] is an enemy of freedom. To be true to our values of democracy and liberty for all men...we should be taking sides...but alas...fecklessly, we&apos;re taking the wrong one...

Recently, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said concerning the construction of Jewish housing in East Jerusalem, &quot;This disturbing development undermines peace efforts to achieve the two-state solution.&quot; 

Pardon my confusion, but Jews building Jewish homes on Jewish land is undermining &quot;peace efforts to achieve the two-state solution?&quot; (Oh Hill...you really need to back away from the bong)...

Though the majority of the American people stand with Israel and their right to exist in their land, our leaders have joined the &apos;we are the world&apos; chorus for the poor, persecuted, faux people group known as the palestinians. And here&apos;s how:
Every time they refer to Jewish land that the &apos;palestinians&apos; desire, they call the Jewish presence &apos;occupation&apos;.
They demand Israel make all the concessions in any negotiation process...forever giving of her land and only receiving violence in return. 
They condemn Israel when they respond in self-defense to unprovoked violent attacks upon their civilians, by &apos;palestinians&apos;.
They ignore terrorist attacks by the PA (Palestinian Authority) and the military wings of their terror groups, Fatah and Hamas. 
And now they condemn Israel for building on Jewish land.
This is simply a craven way to take sides...but sadly, this has been the pattern of our behavior (styled after Europe) for some time. We play a semantical game and take sides with the enemies of freedom...in order to appear &apos;fair&apos; to the world (like this has an iota of value).

We continue to play this moronic game of pretending to be equitable to Israel&apos;s enemies (and ours)...when the only fair and just thing to do is to side with freedom...not with fools.

A word to the prudent from Solomon: &quot;The crown of the wise is their riches: the folly of fools, idiocy.&quot;

And pernicious idiocy at that.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Not Even An Ounce Of Outrage</title>
            <description>The shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (by a nefarious anti-government/anti-Semitic obsessive) is a stinging tragedy. This act of unfettered barbarity has been condemned by all major political organizations (including the Tea Party).

That said: I find it rather ironic how certain political leaders (particularly President Obama) have rushed to the bully pulpit to condemn this act--yet exercised near reticence just 2 short years ago when a Muslim convert (who opposed US military overseas operations) gunned down Army recruiter William Long, 23, in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Manifestly--when US military personnel are gunned down in their own country (particularly by those who hail from a politically &quot;protected&quot; group)--it just doesn&apos;t seem to warrant even an ounce of outrage from the ruling class.

            <title>Messianic Power Grab</title>
            <description>Today marks the beginning of de facto Cap and Trade.

That&apos;s correct.

Today is when the EPA (via Obama&apos;s messianic power grab) starts regulating all greenhouse gases including carbon and water vapor.

And unless the new congress can thwart this kick in the balls to the free market system--millions of jobs will be lost.

Stay tuned.

            <title>New Fractured Fairy Tales: Revisionist History, Israel And The Mohammedans</title>
            <description>Let&apos;s take a trip back in time for a moment...the time is the 1960s...a cartoon short attached to the &quot;Rocky &amp; Bullwinkle&quot; show, Fractured Fairy Tales made a hit...it presented familiar fairy tales and children&apos;s stories, but with storylines altered and modernized for humorous effect. They were fables...no one took them seriously. But today, we have far less humorous fables being spread, unchallenged by the media...that are outright lies...revisionist history...taken as fact.

OK...now it&apos;s time to separate the truth from the tale...and I know those on the Left will find this painful...and some may even have a psychotic break from being confronted with truth, BUT truth is necessary in a REAL world...

To say that the &apos;palestinians&apos; are collectively a delusional people would be a gross understatement. They have surrendered their gray matter to their loathsome leaders and have ingested every bit of the erroneous information fed to them. 

But now it&apos;s time to get some meds to bring them back to reality...and that Rx is: Truth.

Here&apos;s the disease with a dose of the Rx applied...

A new iPhone app has been released, iKotel, by the Western Wall Heritage Foundation. It allows you to see a live camera view of the Western Wall and allows you to send notes to be placed between the stones. And helps point the user towards the Temple Mount for prayers.

So what&apos;s wrong with that, you say? Well, if you&apos;re a delusional &apos;palestinian&apos;...that can cause you to go apoplectic. The Al Aqsa Foundation put out a press release, quoted by Ma&apos;an, saying that the Jews, through this app, are attempting to get the youth to build a closer connection to what they erroneously describe as the &quot;Al Buraq Wall.&quot; 

Quoted by the PA News Network:

The &quot;Al-Aqsa Foundation&quot; (AAF) said that the Wailing Wall is an integral part of the Al Aqsa Mosque, and it is exclusively Islamic, linked ideologically and religiously fully with the incident of [al-Buraq] with the Prophet Mohammed - peace be upon him - and non-Muslims have no right to it, even to the dust of the Wailing Wall, it is the right of Muslims and will remain so, even though it came under the control of Israeli occupation.

Oh my...where do we begin? (The first cut is always the deepest.):
The claims to the Temple Mount by Muslims, does not precede the 1930s.
In 632 AD, when Muhammed died, there were no Mosques in Jerusalem. Aksa Mosque was built 20 years after the Dome of the Rock, which was built in 691-692 by Khalif Abd El Malik. About 80 years after Muhammed&apos;s death (711 AD), Malik&apos;s son, Abd El-Wahid - who ruled from 705-715 - reconstructed the Christian Byzantine Church of St. Mary and converted it into a mosque. He left the structure as a typical Byzantine &quot;basilica&quot; edifice. He simply added an onion-like dome on top of the building to make it look like a mosque. Then named it El-Aksa, so it would sound like the one mentioned in the Quran. But there was NO mosque when Muhammed was alive, so the Quran does not refer to Aksa. 
Irrefutable evidence (historical and archeological) exists to prove Jewish ownership. But NO evidence exists to prove Muslim ownership.
El-Kuds is an abbreviation for &quot;The Jewish Temple.&quot;
Muhammad never visited Jerusalem in the flesh.
Jerusalem is never mentioned by name in the Quran.
And that&apos;s just a smidgeon of the empirical evidence, which is truly overwhelming. Even the 13th century Arab biographer Yakut (one of their own) stated: &quot;Mecca is holy to Muslims; Jerusalem is holy to the Jews.&quot; 

So AAF...don&apos;t get your 400-count thread Egyptian cotton panties in a bundle. Jerusalem ain&apos;t yours and never WILL be yours. Stick that in your &apos;peace&apos; bong and toke it.

And everyone lived happily ever after...

Shalom through strength...

            <title>To Hell With Spineless Appeasement!</title>
            <description>America&apos;s foreign policy (particularly in the post 9/11 world) should never be driven by spineless appeasement. And this becomes increasingly manifest when dealing with the Muslim World (MW).

Why? Because no matter the level of appeasement--the MW will always maintain a visceral disdain for the &quot;Great Satan.&quot; And the proof is irrefutable: While President Obama was extending an olive branch to Tehran--the Islamic Republic was killing our troops (in both Iraq and Afghanistan) with its mass produced explosive devices.

And if Israel (without our support) bombed Iran&apos;s nuclear reactors: We would still be blamed by Allah&apos;s a-holes.

Oh, that visceral disdain.

So, as long as the finger culpability is going to be pointed in our direction: We might as well partake in the sheer pleasure of bombing Teheran&apos;s nuclear sites to smithereens.

To hell with spineless appeasement!

            <title>To-Do Or Die List</title>
            <description>New year...new Congress. Now we will see who understood the voters...

The damage that has been done by the Obama administration...and the Lame Duck session of Congress...must be dealt with post haste, in order for our economy to begin an ascending movement. 

The new, GOP-controlled, House must show their constituents that they mean business (after all, 2012 is not that far away). And, without delay, the following items must be Priority One on their agenda:
Obamacare - The House must vote to repeal Obamacare, as a symbol of their determination to do the will of the people. Force Obama to veto it and follow that with a press conference to show he refuses to budge on this...a law that will cause a plethora of Americans to lose their healthcare, even more to have their healthcare rates go sky-high. And thousands more lose their jobs. (Happy New Year to you too, Mr. President!)
End-of-Life-Counseling - The precise item that the people rejected in the Obamacare Bill, was slipped into the Medicare Bill as a regulation. The House should bring litigation for the unconstitutionality of this tactic. This item must be included by legislation, not through government fiat.
EPA - Remember Cap-and-Trade? It was defeated because it would have cost an untold number of job loses. Well, Obama didn&apos;t give a hoot about the people&apos;s will...he got the cap-and-trade regulation through the Clean Air Act, which as of Jan. 2nd, empowers the EPA and gives them control over greenhouse gas emissions. This includes water vapor and CO2 emissions. That is control over every single industry. That&apos;s everything from a Taco Bell, to a private college to a hotdog stand. The Congress must also bring litigation here for the unconstitutionality of this government fiat.
So, it appears our new employees have quite an agenda before them. And, to Barry&apos;s dismay, they will now do what he consistently refuses to do: The will of the people.

These critical items are not merely suggestions, but rather an imperative New Year to-do list...for the sake of the union.

Happy New Year? Here&apos;s hoping...Mr. Speaker.

            <title>Start Fitting Grandma For A Burqa</title>
            <description>So, what did we learn from the intelligentsia (and other assorted left-wing gaggles, gasbags, politicos, and discarded prophylactics) in 2010? That in order to prove it&apos;s a paragon of tolerance--America must permit those who adhere to a hyper-violent intolerance [Islam] to construct a Mosque at Ground Zero.

Wow!!! Somebody please check the bong for residue.

If this brand of convoluted and tortured logic ever metastasises: We better start fitting grandma for a burqa.

            <title>Jewish Mothers: Don&apos;t Marry Muslim Men</title>
            <description>Jewish Mother Disease:
Q: What is the most common disease transmitted by Jewish Mothers?A: Guilt.

A cute adage...and yes, Jewish moms do transmit guilt, but they (and moms in general) often have much wisdom to share, as well. And a recent letter from rabbis&apos; wives in Israel, to warn and discourage Jewish women not to date, and ultimately marry, Arab (Muslim) men exhibits that. 

Wisdom prompted 27 eminent rabbis&apos; wives signed a letter circulated by the &apos;Lehava&apos; organization calling on Jewish women not to date Arabs. They state it&apos;s for religious reasons. 

But I say it&apos;s due to MORE than just religion. Islam is a religious/political ideology. And it is completely demeaning to women. 

I believe this caveat and plea should go out to ALL &apos;infidel&apos; women...especially those in the US. 

There is a plethora of evidence (true stories) that proves that most non-Muslim women, who marry Muslim men...are treated as Islam has instructed men to treat them: As chattel. Like animals...beaten if they disobey...and murdered if they bring shame upon the family (honor killing). Barred from freedoms of every kind...and then told it&apos;s done to &apos;protect&apos; them...a lie to keep them captive.

But are you learning this from any media sources? Not likely. The media...and some law enforcement...have actually covered up honor killings, right here in our nation. Why? Perhaps it&apos;s sheer ignorance or denial. But the bottom line is: Women are not being warned of this reality.

Muslim men woo non-Muslim women with flowers, expensive gifts and all the attention they desire. But when they marry...and it&apos;s done in Arabic...they unknowingly convert to Islam and are now the property of the man.

And EVERYTHING changes.

So...whether or not you had a Jewish mother...listen to these Jewish mothers: Don&apos;t date Muslim men...they will woo you into a life of slavery...of which few escape alive.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Turkey: As Dumb As The Bird</title>
            <description>Here we are...past Turkey season and there are still gobblers roaming around. But these are of the dumbest variety...

In June of this year, the Turkish PM Erdogan called the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) &quot;pirates&quot;...quite risible considering the history of Mohammedans and their violent conquests pirating the high seas. 

It was well established that the flotilla incident was organized by terrorist organizations and entities...and it was planned to provoke the Israelis. But now, Erdogan...despite the empirical evidence via video, of the flotilla occupant&apos;s violence upon the IDF...wants an apology for the flotilla incident AND compensation for the &apos;victim&apos;s&apos; families. But wait there&apos;s more...Turkey will not normalize relations with Israel unless these demands are met. (Is that a threat or a promise?)

Oh, my bad...it must be Open Mic Night at the Improv...

But, no worries...Israel PM Bibi Netanyahu is not down with that. No apology. No Turk Lirasi (Turkish currency) filling the &apos;victim&apos;s&apos; families&apos; pockets. AND he added this: Israel demands that Ankara (Turkey&apos;s capital) annul all legal proceedings and lawsuits against the IDF launched after the raid on the Turkish flotilla.

Sorry, Erdogan...your Turkish tukis will have to go elsewhere for your stuffing.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>2011: YEAR OF THE INFIDEL!</title>
            <description>It is a moral imperative that (in 2011) a bold and dynamic change takes place. And what exactly is that change? That we the people no longer except (whether from our government, CAIR, intellects, educrats, talking-heads, etc.) that Islam is a religion of &quot;peace&quot; and &quot;tolerance.&quot;

This disingenuous mantra belies the glaring historical fact that Islam (since its birth) has been nothing short of a mind numbing virulence. From mass murder in Medina (carried out by Muhammad himself) to the genocidal propensities of the Ottoman Empire to the eradication of innocents on 9/11--the acolytes of Allah have proven to be a barbaric lot.

It&apos;s time to rise up and reject the &quot;peace&quot; and &quot;tolerance&quot; mantra that&apos;s being rammed down our throats and declare 2011: The year of the infidel!

            <title>Shove Said Metaphor Up Its...!</title>
            <description>The conflagration over &quot;the wall of separation between church and state&quot; has been nothing short of hyper-divisive. The no Nativity on public property crowd stridently claims that such a display is a flagrant violation of the above mentioned metaphor found in The Constitution.

Yet (strangely enough) when this crowd is confronted with the task of locating this metaphor in the Constitution--it can&apos;t.

And just why is that? Because it&apos;s simply not there.

So the next time this crowd shows up in your town to remonstrate against a public display of a Christmas tree or Nativity--kindly tell it to shove said metaphor up its...!

            <title>TSA Rules: The Lump Of Coal In Our Economic Stocking</title>
            <description>It&apos;s no secret that I am a huge proponent of profiling...a proven technique that has been a tremendously successful tool in helping Law Enforcement put miscreants behind bars for decades. 

Despite the empirical evidence, the government...due to its ever-pervading infection of political correctness...has decided to go with a more intrusive form of &apos;security&apos; measures. Limiting carry-on items and forcing people to check bags, which appears to be a brief inconvenience...but in actuality: It&apos;s costing US businesses possibly millions of dollars...

Sound loony? It isn&apos;t...allow me to elucidate...

During my holiday shopping excursions, I discovered that some people, who were visiting relatives across the country, were restraining themselves from purchasing gifts and goods because they couldn&apos;t take them back on their flights home. It soon became clear that these were not isolated incidents. One close relative, who is very generous and a true capitalist...decided against buying anything at 3 gift shops. 

An almost impossible occurrence... 

How many more are making this type of decision in their travels? Many, I believe...and one is one TOO many...

Our new Congress needs to take this issue seriously. We already know the rules now in place, where patriotic Americans can&apos;t bring anything on board that a terrorist has utilized to attempt to kill us, are feckless. Jihadists think this is a great sport...they use everything they can get their filthy digits on, and will do so until we are like trained monkeys that will do absolutely anything the government tells us to...if we want to fly...or go by subway...or any other mode of transportation.

And the result of these regulations? Not a lick of evidence that one terrorist&apos;s work has been hindered. Just irritated customers and lost revenue...

With our current economy...and predictions for the near future even grimmer...is continuing to employ these idiotic rules sage?

This is just another lump of coal in our economic stocking...and unless you&apos;re burning it, it&apos;s worthless.

            <title>Killing The King&apos;s Children</title>
            <description>The Islamic World&apos;s violent disdain for Christians is on display (for all to see) in Iraq. From church bombings to assassinations--Mesopotamia has morphed into a killing field for those who worship the King of Kings.

So why are Christians being killed? Because (according to the dictates of the Prophet Mohammad) they are inferior, worthless subhumans who must either convert, or be put to death.

(Lest we forget: Iraq&apos;s new constitution is based on Sharia Law.)

In fact--due to such violence--the Christian population in Iraq (over the past four years) has been reduced from 1.4 million to six hundred thousand.

But the most egregious aspect of this highly disquieting story is this: President Obama has refused to acknowledge it. Proving (once again) that he has no problem turning a blind eye to the barbarity his Muslim brothers inflict on the innocent.

            <title>Sgt. Tinkerbell (Death From Behind)</title>
            <description>Those who zealously espouse allowing gays to serve (period) in the military have been seriously impaired by Political Correctness. These mentally diminished individuals lack the capacity to realize that Sgt. Tinkerbell is not an asset--but rather a truculent liability.

Why? Because not only is homosexual sodomy a medically dangerous practice (rectal hemorrhages, colon cancer, prostate perforation, STD&apos;s, etc.)--but empirical data also tells us that over 90% of pedophiles hail from the gay community.

These two highly poignant (not to mention hyper-revolting) realities will result in one thing: The erosion of military readiness.

And once that is allowed to happen--our national security will be struck dead from behind.

            <description>Do the proponents of repealing Don&apos;t Ask, Don&apos;t Tell truly believe that allowing men (who engage in the medically dangerous--not to mention highly unnatural act of homosexual sodomy) to serve openly in the Armed Forces will in some way enhance combat readiness?

If so--then these proponents are beyond brain dead.

            <title>May Come Down To This: Profile Or Die</title>
            <description>In our recent election (as in all), most of the electorate caste their votes based upon issues of importance...such as fiscal. But the freedom to do so is only available to us because of our superb Military and Law Enforcement who ensure our national security. For without national security...all other issues are moot.

The greatest threat to our security is, and will continue to be, terrorism. But more specifically: Muslim terrorism. Terrorist acts, worldwide, are committed by Muslims founded upon their ideology. They base their behavior upon the Quran, which is why most &apos;moderate&apos; Muslims cease to condemn them. Since 9-11, Islamic terrorists have carried out over 16, 500 deadly terror attacks in the name of their god.

The worst perpetrated so far occurring on 9-11-01. 

But attempts to do more harm to our Republic and our citizenry have not ceased. Which should give us even more pause concerning the commonalities between those committing these heinous and barbaric acts.

So how can we protect ourselves and our loved ones from another barbaric terrorist assault? The successful technique Law Enforcement has been utilizing to keep us safe for decades: Profiling.

It&apos;s OK...you can say it...it doesn&apos;t leave a bad taste in your mouth...PROFILING...

If authorities didn&apos;t profile, many more miscreants would still be slithering around our communities. Here&apos;s an example of how it works: A white male, with long red hair wearing a blue baseball cap, black t-shirt , jeans and white sneakers, robs a convenience store. The police are given the description. In order to bring the perp in, they must find individuals that fit the description. So, they will NOT detain grey-haired grannies or pregnant Asian women. Nor will they seek black or Hispanic males with short dark hair wearing business suits and glasses. 

Why? Because they DON&apos;T fit the description of the perpetrators. 

But sadly, those who have the responsibility of protecting us are refusing to profile in order to look good in the eyes of the world...which will guarantee we will be hit again. And so the jihadists continue to attempt to attack us. 

And remember this: When it comes to terror attacks, we have to be right every time (stopping them). They only have to be right once...

The passive compliance of the American people at airports, concerning the new intrusive TSA measures, is enabling the fecklessness of our &apos;protectors&apos; and further endangering our nation and our freedoms. Law enforcement STILL profiles, with great success...why won&apos;t the Feds?

It&apos;s coming down to this. Either we begin to profile based upon the facts we have on those who are actually attempting to obliterate us (Muslim radicals)...or we will surely bite the dust they leave behind.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Give That Man A Klondike Bar!</title>
            <description>Just when you thought America was about to be ruled by an oligarchy of dogmatic thugs in black robes--along comes judge Henry Hudson.

On Monday Hudson ruled that ObamaCare was an egregious attempt to expand (via the Commerce Clause) the size, scope and power of the federal government. The judge said the clause has never been extended by the judicial branch &quot;to compel an individual to involuntarily enter the stream of commerce by purchasing a commodity in the private market.&quot;

Such an extension (the jurist added) &quot;exceeds the Commerce Clause powers vested in Congress under Article I.”

Imagine: A judge that has actually read the Constitution.

Give that man a Klondike Bar!

            <title>The Judgment Of Solomon Would Apply Here</title>
            <description>Most will be familiar with the story of Solomon&apos;s judgment in the Tanakh (Old Testament), I Kings 3:16-28...

A little refresher...two women claimed to be the mother of the same son (the paltering mother accidentally smothered her own son to death). In his wisdom, Solomon called for a sword and said the only fair thing to do would be to cut the live child in half so each mother would have half a child. As soon as the terrible verdict was announced, the boy&apos;s real mother cried out, &quot;Please, My Lord, give her the child—do not kill him!&quot; Yet, the liar, in her embittered envy, bellowed, &quot;It shall be neither mine nor yours—divide it!&quot; Solomon immediately gave the baby to the real mother, recognizing that the real mother&apos;s instincts were to protect her child.

We see a similar analogy with many who do not own property. Better care is taken by those who are the owners than the squatters...which brings me to the Middle East issue...

With the recent devastating fire in Carmel (Israel), the Bethlehem-based Ma&apos;an news agency took a survey in which 50,000 &apos;palestinians&apos; participated concerning the fact that their President Abbas sent firefighters to Carmel to help Israel put out the tragic blaze. More than half those polled said overwhelmingly, that it was a disgrace for the PA (Palestinian Authority) to help Israel save the land.

Hey...love is in the air, everywhere you look around...

This speaks volumes about the &apos;palestinians&apos;...and who the TRUE owners of the land are. The majority of &apos;palestinians&apos; would rather see the land, they falsely contend is theirs, destroyed than help the Israelis save it (and based on their past activities, they were probably hoping innocent Jews were consumed by the flames, as well).

Now, if the land was really &apos;palestinian&apos;, they would be praising the PA for helping to it. Their response not only undergirds the empirical historical and archeological evidence that the Jews are the real owners of the land...but it shows how very venal this population truly is.

If King Solomon were alive today...aside from kicking Arabs off of ALL of Israel&apos;s land...there&apos;s no doubt he would flick these pernicious paltering pests onto their true homeland, whether King Hussein likes it or not. 

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Anti-Jewish Pyros: Literal Burning Hatred</title>
            <description>The collective Muslim goal? The elimination of Israel. That&apos;s a no-brainer for anyone paying attention to the Middle East (and what comes out of Arab pie-holes) since before the rebirth of the nation of Israel in 1948. 

The empirical evidence is overwhelming. Whether it be the call for Israel&apos;s elimination in terrorist group charters like Hamas or Hezbollah, or the plethora of UN Resolutions condemning Israel (while ignoring Muslim violence), OR the intermittent declarations from various Muslim leaders that Israel will never be recognized as a state and will be annihilated...it all points to seething hatred for the Jewish people and their homeland.

So, what&apos;s the Jew-haters new tactic? Negligence and nature gave them the idea: Arson...Muslims&apos; burning hatred toward Jews has gone from snipers, to homicide-bombers, to now pyromaniacs. 

According to Ynetnews, recently numerous arson cases have been noted nationally, stretching from the Galilee all the way through the Jerusalem Mountains and down to the south. Most of these fires were ostensibly started by ideologically motivated Arabs holding Israeli ID cards and acting the role of treacherous hitchhikers on the heels of the current disaster.

Sounds as if it&apos;s from the playbook the Alinsky Libs, like Rahm Emmanuel, use: &quot;You never want a serious crisis to go to waste...&quot; (Saul...your fans are listening...and these don keffiyehs.)

This interminable attempt by Mohammedans, to destroy Jews, is like watching a perilous version of the Roadrunner cartoon...except in this case, innocents really DO get murdered.

Let&apos;s hope those in our government, who have been proponents for Hate Crimes (thought crimes), will actually begin to come out against these infernal crimes against the Jewish people. 

Because not to do so, is a true hate crime.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Now That&apos;s Pragmatism</title>
            <description>The National Intelligence Director (NID) just reported that at least 25% of those released from Gitmo have once again taken up jihad. That means only one thing: These Koran carrying, Allah praising, Islamo-thugs have returned to the battlefield to kill our troops.

Perhaps it&apos;s time for our government to get real?

So here&apos;s a suggestion: Instead of releasing those sworn to kill us--we should (you got it) kill them.

Now that&apos;s pragmatism.

            <title>Nothing Short Of Pathetic</title>
            <description>The Obama Administration&apos;s reaction to the WikiLeaks saga has been nothing short of pathetic. One would think that after five months AG Eric Holder would have at least charged the web site&apos;s founder--Julian Assange (currently in British custody)--with violating the US Espionage Act 0f 1917.

But given the disquieting reality that Assange has not been charged is palpable evidence that the Administration simply does not take the issue seriously.

This is sheer perfidy considering that the classified documents (posted on his site) have greatly jeopardized the safety of our troops.

Once again: Nothing short of pathetic.

            <title>The Illogical Retail Logic Of Offending</title>
            <description>It&apos;s that time of year again...the season that warms our hearts and fills our tummies. The time when naughty children are busy being nice. And visions of sugarplums dance in their heads...and on adults waistlines. A time when capitalism explodes and blessings abound...and the time when some retailers offend in order NOT to offend...

What was that? Offend in order not to offend?

Indeed...allow me to elucidate...

Some retailers have recently made the Switzerland-like decision to be neutral on decorating for Christmas because they don&apos;t want to offend anyone.

How magnanimous of these entrepreneurs, right? O CONTRAIRE! Instead...it is the most feckless and foolish business decision they can make. And in the current Obama-style economy...it&apos;s idiocy...

Let&apos;s break it down for these misled merchants...
Approximately 75% of yearly retail sales are done during the fiscal 4th quarter (Christmas shopping season).
Approximately 90% of the consumption of goods during that period are done by those who celebrate Christmas (and Hanukkah).
Now, if retailers are profiting off the holiday that the majority of their patrons celebrate, why would they disrespect those very customers by not recognizing those holidays? What&apos;s some tinsel and a few ribbons to some...a black eye or a bloody lip? If so...then those peeps need some UNsensitivity training...

What precisely is the reason for their trepidation? Litigation? A boycott? From who, exactly? Those who do not patronize their establishments during that time period? So these merchants choose to diss those who do support them? Does that make any business sense at all?

Sounds like a saleable psychotic break? 

Here&apos;s my retort to these confused capitalists...Want money from me? Put up a tree. Want me to consume your fare? Put some garland up there. Want me to spend my dough? Give me a Ho, Ho, Ho! 

And if you do...we&apos;ll ALL have a Merry Christmas from now on (or I will, with your competitors).

            <title>Liberty And The Ginormous Turd</title>
            <description>I think it&apos;s manifest that Julian Assange is one ginormous turd (which needs to be flushed, ASAP). That said--what is the one thing missing from the plethora of dumped documents that have appeared on his venomous site, WikiLeaks? Any evidence to support the convoluted, left-wing notion that America is an imperialist nation.

Where are the cables that reveal our so-called rapacious desire to overthrow (in order to confiscate their black gold) oil rich nations? Where are the cables that reveal our so-called plan to reduce the populations of all non-white countries? And where are the cables that reveal the so-called plot by our government to detonate the World Trade Center and then use it as a provocation for war (suck on that 9/11 Truthers)?

I could go on--but you get the point.

In the end--these documents simply refuse to comport with left-wing notions about our nation.

Once again John Quincy Adams was right when he said: &quot;America&apos;s glory is not dominion, but liberty.&quot;

            <title>Catastrophe In Chief</title>
            <description>The New Start Treaty is a glaring abomination. Why? Because it not only reduces our number of nuclear weapons (and the mechanisms used to launch them) --but it also greatly limits our missile defense system.

Sadly, President Obama has squandered valuable time on a dangerously feckless treaty (with a nation whose leaders guzzle from the spigots of subterfuge) while the hegemonic Islamic Republic of Iran moves ever closer to mushroom cloud madness.

Just another reason why Barack Hussein Obama will go down in history as the Catastrophe in Chief.

            <title>Nukes: It&apos;s Not The Button, But Whose Finger Is ON The Button</title>
            <description>ukes...some get it, some don&apos;t, but most are conveniently confused. Obama and his ilk believe we should all equally have them (those are the ones who don&apos;t get it). But those that understand the issue in totality, know that much like firearms: Guns don&apos;t kill people, PEOPLE kill people.

So what&apos;s the truth about nuclear arms programs, and was Margaret Thatcher correct when she said: &quot;A world without nuclear weapons would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us.&quot;

Can everyone, as Obama believes, have nuclear weapons? The answer: Unequivocally NO!

Some countries are either theocratic dictatorships (i.e. Iran), others are communist regimes (i.e. North Korea). and view democracies as a threat to their power base. 

Nations that should NOT have nukes and why:
Iran - A zealous Islamic Theocracy unafraid to die while killing the innocent. (Two of the targets they have named are Israel and the US.)
Pakistan - Unstable Islamic State who desires the destruction of the West. (Populace very anti-American. High percentage of terrorist activity influenced by Taliban and al-Qaeda.)
Lebanon - Government now infiltrated by the terrorist group Hezbollah, they are a danger to any non-Muslim nation.
Syria - The host country for the headquarters of most Muslim Brotherhood splinter groups like Hamas and Hezbollah...and a puppet-state of Iran. (Cooperates with North Korea)
North Korea - They are a tremendous proliferator of selling nuclear technology to rogue nations. Aided in the building of a nuclear reactor in Syria. Always a chance they can launch a nuclear warhead into South Korea, Japan or Taiwan (for China). 
America, on the other hand, should have nuclear weapons because, in order to preserve (for itself and its allies) its founding principle (liberty) it must be able to not only confront despotism...but also be able to defeat it when necessary. Without this great deterrence, tyranny would proliferate. 

John Quincy Adams said &quot;America&apos;s glory is not dominion, but liberty.&quot; Our intentions are for good. To protect the innocent and preserve freedom for future generations. Rogue States have intent for evil. To terrorize, control and destroy innocents. 

Where the rubber meets the road: It&apos;s not The Button...but whose finger is ON The Button.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>On A Long Bloody Leash</title>
            <description>Despite the hue and cry from politicos and pundits (that China needs to do more to rein in it&apos;s belligerent attack dog North Korea)--don&apos;t count on it.

Why? Because North Korea is a bulwark against the one thing China fears the most: A unified (democratic) Korean Peninsula.

And it is this fear that motivates Beijing to place its pit bull on a long bloody leash.

            <title>Turning A Blind Eye To All Things Immoral</title>
            <description>In the ongoing debate (conflagration) over illegal immigration--liberals continue to turn a blind eye to the disquieting and highly unethical situations surrounding this hot button issue.

For example--recent reports indicate that last year alone American taxpayers were forced to fork over $10 billion to pay for social services used by illegal aliens from Mexico while (during the same time period) this illegal cohort sent a staggering $15 billion south of the border.

And (as conservative notable Victor Davis Hanson recently mentioned) this is not only economically egregious, but above all--disturbingly immoral.

But--as we all know: Liberals love turning a blind eye to all things immoral.

            <title>Treaty? Why All They Want To Give Us Is A Bear Hug</title>
            <description>While the country is suffering under double digit unemployment...and the administrations fiscal policies are painting a grim guesstimate moving forward...what is the Clueless-In-Chief busy doing? Why he&apos;s fecklessly pushing a treaty with the Commie-who-would-be-King: Putin.

I know it&apos;s the holidays, but Barry really needs to stop taking hits from the helium tank, when filling up those party balloons...

Now...why on G-d&apos;s green earth does Barry, so desperately, want us to sign the nuclear reduction treaty, or New Start Treaty, with Russia? Good question...I&apos;ll let the big kahuna answer why we should, but here&apos;s why we shouldn&apos;t...

Is the Russian Bear trustworthy? The reasons to distrust the Bear are many including:
Russia has a protracted history of breaching Arms Control agreements. They violated the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) up until  its termination at the end of 2009 (plainly stated in the State Dept. compliance reports of 2005 &amp; 2010).
We are not, nor ever will be, on their Christmas card list...they consider the West to be a danger.
Since their military is third rate, their nuclear program is their only defense. They will never reduce it.
Our intelligence agencies, and Russia itself, has broadcast its help to our enemies Iran (built Bushehr nuclear reactor) and North Korea (providing ballistic missile technology). 
Russia has alliances with terrorist organizations Hezbollah and Hamas, as well as terrorist-supporting states such as Iran and Syria. 
The one thing Russia would love for Christmas is a wussified US...and Obama is aching to give it to him with a bow on top...and Barry is happy to accept the pernicious promise of a treaty-breaker because he&apos;s smarter than all the empirical evidence...(he&apos;s alone on that).

We will be the greatest fools to walk the sod of this great nation, if we go into another treaty with Russia...because all they really want to do is give us a hug...a Bear Hug...the kind that will scoot them on their way to once again becoming a world power.

Not something advisable at this time in history...

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Proxy Penis</title>
            <description>A world without nuclear weapons (Mr. President) is nothing more than a wild pipe dream.

Why? Because a belligerent like Russia (with its third-rate military) uses its nuclear arsenal as a proxy penis. And without it--the former communist nation would be rendered totally impotent on the world stage.

And, as any astute political observer knows--Vladimir Putin would never allow that.

            <title>Forget Simon Says, In NYS DOCS, It Matters Only If Allah Says</title>
            <description>If you&apos;re a New York State Corrections Officer and you planned on carving the big bird in the comforts of your own home this year, you have a better chance of wearing Army boots, sharing a BLT with an Imam at a Friday Mosque service, than giving thanks with your family...

Why you ask? Because the craven Albany officials, who are in a love-fest with Islam, have made it impossible for ANY Corrections Officers to make it home until Allah says...and Allah says NO...

According to a reliable, but anonymous source...

...while DOC Officers across NYS will be ensuring that a Thanksgiving dinner is being served to all inmates....and while they will also be sure to get as many men to the phones to call their families on this important day...AND while they will be certain to maintain the safety and security of the facility...they usually would be working in concert to make certain that as many officers as possible be relieved in order to spend Thanksgiving dinner with their families at home.  

Most NYers don&apos;t realize that 365 days per year, 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, officers man these facilities and at times, adhere to mandatory overtime, to insure that all jobs are covered and that safety and security are paramount.  BUT, on Thanksgiving THIS year, these officers will NOT be relieved, because the &apos;smartest people&apos; in the State of NY have allowed a Muslim Festival to take place in ALL jails statewide on this day of American unity and national thanksgiving. Allah says...

Now, let&apos;s not forget that there have been several radical Islamic conversions in NY prisons catalogued since the 1970s, including the infamous Warith Deen Umar, formerly Wallace Gene Marks, a former Nation of Islam member, who later converted to the purest form of Islam (Wahhabi) which believes in the purging of all things non-Islamic from the world, and the common goal of creating a one world Islamic state or Ummah. 

Oh, and Mr. Umar has done so much more you should know about...recently he was the key note speaker at the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)&apos;s National convention (a tentacle of the Muslim Brotherhood), where he spewed rhetoric more at home in Nazi Germany in der Fuehrer&apos;s presence. You know, stuff like Jews are controlling the world, to Hurricane Katrina was Allah&apos;s wrath on homosexuals, to the Holocaust was divine punishment for Jews for being &quot;serially disobedient to Allah.&quot;

Oh...did I mention...Umar has been the longstanding Director of Ministerial Services for the NYS DOCS (New York State Department of Correctional Services)?

Must have slipped my mind...as it apparently has slipped the minds of NYS officials...

At a time when our country is under the greatest threat in its history by zealots of an ideology that long to die while murdering us...should the Empire State be puckering up to Allah&apos;s Aunt Fanny?

Well, if we&apos;re talking turkey here: No freakin&apos; way!!

Shalom through strength...and Happy Thanksgiving!

            <title>Political Correctness: What A Pain In The A**!</title>
            <description>What will America do next to demonstrate its obeisance to Political Correctness? After all (in the name of PC) we have already stopped waterboarding the enemy, outlawed the term Islamic terrorist, developed sissified Rules of Engagement in Afghanistan, turned NASA into a Muslim outreach program, installed porn machines in our airports and are now subject to grope session by TSA employees.

So, what&apos;s next? Well, rumor has it that (due to a terrorist abroad who strategically planted a bomb up his butt) the TSA is looking to hire Proctologists.

Political Correctness: What a pain in the a**!

            <title>Judicial Perfidy</title>
            <description>The seating of liberal judges now presents a new risk dimension: The possibility that such a jurist-- when presiding over cases involving American Muslims--will apply Sharia Law.

This type of judicial perfidy has already occurred in New Jersey--and there is little to prevent if from happening elsewhere. In fact--Oklahoma recently passed a law prohibiting judges from considering Sharia Law only to have it blocked by (you guessed it) a liberal judge.

If this outrage isn&apos;t stopped, Muslim organizations (such as CAIR) will exploit the issue in order to fulfill their stated goal: A Sharia compliant America!

            <description>Commonsense would dictate that if ObamaCare was such a sublime piece of legislation (as the president emphatically claimed)-- Democrats would have easily maintained the House? But on November 2nd--reality killed fantasy when the American people didn&apos;t find it sublime--but rather sickening.

Fact is--even Dems ran away from the Marxist machination in droves during the election.

A FB friend of mine astutely questioned: If ObamaCare is so supreme--why has the Administration (thus far) issued 111 waivers to companies that claim it is absolutely impossible to function under the bills financially draconian requirements?

Sublime? LMAO!

            <title>Only One Feasible Freeze: The Rocket Rounds  </title>
            <description>So where&apos;s the peace process today? With everything the Israelis have give-up, including many innocent lives for peace...it should be pretty quiet in the Holy Land, right?

Yes, but the quiet it brings is that of a graveyard...

This is not what Israel bargained for. The land-for-peace debacle of the Oslo Accords has brought more death and destruction at the hands of the &apos;palestinians&apos;, upon innocent Israelis than ever before. 

Israel gives up more of its land...the world says, &quot;It&apos;s only fair.&quot;

The &apos;palestinians&apos; breach agreements and continue a barrage of rockets and terror attacks upon Israel...the world says, &quot;Those poor little things...look how Israel is making them miss their targets.&quot;

Something is not working. There is lopsided accountability...and the responsible party (Israel) is taking the beating.

Israel now demands, and rightfully so, that the United States provide written security guarantees before the PM takes the issue to his government for a vote. 

Otherwise...Fagetaboutit...(NYC translation)...

Does PM Bibi Netanyahu believe this will work? Not likely...he knows this dog has been chasing its tail for decades. I believe he is attempting to expose the sham that this process truly is. According to YNetNews, Israel hopes the assurance will prevent the &apos;palestinians&apos; from implementing their strategic plan of dodging direct talks and trying to impose UN resolutions upon Israel. 

Let&apos;s be real here...the &apos;palestinians&apos; don&apos;t want peace...they have said so myriad times (and I hardly think that they were hoping to bomb Israel into a neighborly hug), but the world players chose to ignore their behavior. 

This game is old. The only ones who want to play now are the legacy-seekers, the appeasers and those implementing the violence on innocents.

None of which are Israel.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>The Deadly Dogma That Motivates</title>
            <description>Those on the political left (who stridently blamed President Bush for Iran&apos;s bellicosity) have yet to explain why the Islamic Republic is still hell-bent on destroying Israel and America?

After all--their political Messiah promised to foster a global healing that would usher in the much awaited (by leftists) Kumbaya Millennium.

Truth is--President Bush isn&apos;t to blame for Iran&apos;s aggressiveness. So who or what is? That would be the deadly dogma that motivated the Ottomans to slaughter over 2 million Armenian Christians, Hamas to eviscerate scores of innocent Jews and the 9/11 hijackers to incinerate 3,000 Americans: ISLAM!

            <title>Settling A Capital Issue</title>
            <description>Allow me to ask you a question...if you point to your head, call it your head...and show we unequivocal historical documentation that it is indeed your head...and I then point to your feet and say it&apos;s your head...who&apos;s correct?

Why you are...hands down (no pun intended)...

And so it is with Israel. The capital of Israel is indeed Jerusalem. It has, and always will be Jerusalem. Since the 4th century B.C., the empirical evidence is overwhelming. 
Jerusalem has forever been the nucleus of the Jewish religion. 
Jerusalem is the holiest city in Judaism. 
Synagogues within the city are built facing the Western Wall and Temple Mount. 
Synagogues globally are constructed so that the worshipers pray toward Jerusalem. 
Jerusalem is mentioned a plethora of times in the liturgy, often entreating God to allow the Jewish people to return home.
And yet, the world...including the United States...have refused to recognize it as Israel&apos;s capital. In an avoidance of truth, and in an effort to appease the paltering of the Arab States...embassies have not been built in Jerusalem, but in Tel Aviv. 

The current criticism of Israel? They are continuing to build their settlements in their capital city. The world says it&apos;s a no-no. 

Au contraire...PM Bibi Netanyahu set the record straight. After myriad complaints that the building was derailing the peace process, he said, &quot;Israel does not see any connection between the peace process and the policy of planning and construction in Jerusalem, which has not changed in 40 years.&quot; 

And Bibi then settled the real issue: &quot;Jerusalem is not a settlement, it is the capital of Israel.&quot;

Everyone knows it...but only lovers of truth have the testicular fortitude to say it. 

Shalom through strength...

            <description>Kudos to Oklahoma which just added an amendment to its state constitution prohibiting Sharia Law. This heroic, politically incorrect measure is a dramatic preemptive strike against this draconian, hyper-misogynistic, Islamic doctrine which dictates that all non-Muslims are to be treated like fecal matter.

Let&apos;s hope the Sooner State&apos;s intrepid example is mimicked from coast to coast.

            <title>NOW, Cowardly Hags And Muslim Psychos</title>
            <description>It has become painfully explicit that the feminist movement is an abject farce. Why? Because the most virulent global issue facing women today (Sharia) has been totally ignored by NOW (and their ideological kindred spirits) which claims to profoundly care about the female condition.

In fact, while Muslim women are being gang-raped, whipped, forced to don burqas and stoned to death in compliance with Sharia--feminist luminaries (hags) such as Hillary Clinton Nancy Pelosi and Barbra Streisand remain chillingly silent.

It is this disquieting (and cowardly) brand of silence that directly serves to strengthen Sharia and the deranged, misogynistic Muslim psychos who enforce it.

            <title>Spain: Return To Andalusia? </title>
            <description>Spain, Muslims and Anti-Semitism. To reasonably comprehend these issues, a little background would facilitate...

The Moors:
In 711 AD, during their early efforts of global conquest by Muslim leaders, Tariq ibn-Ziyad, under the command of the Umayyad Caliph Al-Walid I, brought most of the Iberian Peninsula (what is now Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar) under Muslim domination in a campaign that lasted roughly 7 years. The region became part of the growing Umayyad Empire, under the name of al-Andalus or Andalusia.
The Moors&apos; (who were Muslim and Spanish) defining moment of the battle that gave them victory in Cordoba was the Battle of Guadalete, a series of barbaric attacks, which stretched across to North Africa. In the initial raids, which were mainly upon Christian villages/towns, the Islamic forces of the Moors pillaged innocents whom they had been harassing by sea since around 705 AD. 

Something to remember:
All devout Muslims are certain that Islam will someday conquer Spain because Islam teaches that once a place has been absorbed into the Ummah, the worldwide community of Islam (as Spain once was by the Moors), it must remain Muslim forever. If the infidels (that&apos;s us) retake Cordoba and Spain, then Muslims are obliged to conquer it again. And so they will...

But Spain, being a part of the EU...surely could not have a milieu conducive to a Muslim caliphate controlling the region once again, could they?

You be the judge...

Enter Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, Prime Minister of Spain and Secretary General of the Socialist Party. A twisted vile soul whose very being encapsulates Jew-hatred. An individual, who said his parents taught him to be &quot;tolerant and thoughtful.&quot; Oopsie, guess he had a lapse of memory when shortly after taking office, at a dinner...he, according to member of the European Parliament, Vidal Quadras, described Jose&apos;s dinner conversation on the radio as &quot;a tirade of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism&quot;. Zapatero ended his tirade with: &quot;It is understandable that someone might justify the Holocaust.&quot;

Jose, you fountain of forbearance, you...

Now, his FM Trinidad Jimenez, has decided to keep in place the anti-Israel &quot;Lawfare&quot; policies of her predecessor, Miguel Angel Moratinos. The revelation came when Justice Minister Francisco Caamano Dominguez and Jimenez  declined to grant diplomatic immunity to former Shin Bet Chief MK Avi Dichter, who had planned on taking part in a conference on the Mideast peace process in Madrid on October 29-30.

Back to some history:
The Moors...no friends of Jews...occupied Spain from 711-1492. The anti-Jewish roots of that period...demonstrated by the dhimmitude of Jews under Muslim rule...were never truly renounced.

The sentiment lived on...the Edict of Expulsion was issued against the Jews of Spain by Ferdinand and Isabella (March 31, 1492). It ordered all Jews of whatever age to leave the kingdom by the last day of July [Tisha B&apos;Av]), but permitted them to remove their property provided it was not in gold, silver, or money.

This odious milieu toward Jews in &quot;La Furia Roja&quot; (the red fury) should be disquieting to all. And the rising Muslim population in Spain...which refuses to assimilate and desires Sharia Law in place of Spanish Law...is chilling.

With the mindset in the government of current-day Spain, what&apos;s left but to simply pronounce the Shahaadatayn (Declaration of Faith) to Islam. How far away can that be? It&apos;s clear Muslims intend to take Andalusia back...will it be long before the appeasers in Madrid join in the effort?

Only time will tell...

Shalom through strength...

            <description>OIB doggedly believes that the citizens of Connecticut are a mentally twisted lot. Why? Because they elected an insidious, unabashed, pathological liar who claimed (on at least three separate occasions) that he served in Vietnam.

The irrefutable fact is--while serving in the Marine Corps Reserves--senator-elect Dick Blumenthal never left New Haven.

Maybe that&apos;s why they call it the (Nut)meg State?

            <title>Oh Barry: Do You Hear What I Hear?</title>
            <description>As I write this...the Republicans have taken control of the House of Representatives. 

Well, I&apos;m thinking the American people have taken Barry&apos;s, &apos;Yes We Can&apos;...and tossed it IN the can.

The citizens, who he in his hubris, flipped off as ignorant, have now unequivocally flipped him off where it hurts the most: At the ballot box.

Aww shucks...it looks like O has lost his glow...

Is the love affair with the messiah over? 

With his policies, indeed it is. Nationwide unemployment at 10% (in some states up to 17%); families are losing their healthcare due to Obamacare (some companies will save money by dropping their employee coverage and paying the government penalty instead); our national debt is at an unparalleled 5 trillion, and so on...

A unified voice is calling across this nation. It&apos;s not a whisper...or a yawn any longer, but the roar of a citizenry tired of the employee (elected) instructing the employer (voter). 

It&apos;s vociferous and pragmatic. It speaks truth to power. It knows its place is keeping those who rule, honest and accountable.  

It&apos;s vociferous, that is, for those who have ears to hear: Oh Barry...do you hear what I hear?

            <description>Despite copious denials (rhetorical Hershey squirts) from Democrats and their media spin doctors--tomorrow will be a scathing referendum on a hyper-condescending, overly pedantic, arrogant-to-the-core, narcissistic president. A man so insanely self-absorbed that he blatantly disregarded the will of the American people by decreeing his number two dream--socialized medicine.

And by doing so--he co-opted over one sixth of our nation&apos;s economy (a machination designed to pave the way for his number one dream): To transform America into a pathetic--line forms to the right for toilet paper--socialist cesspit.

            <title>Liar, Liar Keffiyeh On Fire</title>
            <description>The &apos;Palestinian&apos; Authority (PA) are master contortionists. No not with their bodies, but with their words. 

They know how the media monster works....and they know how to play the game...

On October 28th, following talks with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit and Cairo&apos;s intelligence chief Omar Suleiman in Ramallah, Abbas told reporters he plans to approach the UN Security Council and ask that it recognize an independent Palestinian state and he&apos;ll make that demand within months.

That was the truth...for those who choose to believe truth, in the West...and for the Arab world, who hate the Jewish State.

But...for the feckless in love with mendacity...they offer this...

Chief PA peace negotiator, Saeb Erekat, earlier this week in an interview with IPS News said, &quot;We&apos;re not planning to declare our state unilaterally, as has been mistakenly reported. What we intend to do is to take to the United Nations Security Council a request that the international community re-endorse the two-state solution...&quot; 

And then Erekat accused Israel of twisting the PA&apos;s words, &quot;Israel is, as usual, twisting our words to suggest that we are about to declare a state unilaterally. We are not planning to do that.&quot;

Nice job...they know both will be reported...Erekat&apos;s more than Abbas&apos; statement. They cover their collective tukis.

And let&apos;s not forget about the PA&apos;s pre-conditions for peace talks...the incessant shrieking about a settlement freeze on historically Jewish land...even as their underlings continue to terrorize innocent Israelis with rockets and myriad attempts at suicide bombings. 

Any mention of that in the news? Not a freakin&apos; peep out of their paltering pie-holes...aahhh...the media monster played like a fiddle.

These are propaganda geniuses. Perhaps disciples of Goebbels...cause they sure do him proud.

This best concluded by an excerpt from the 1810 poem by William Blake:
What internal serpentHas lent you his forked tongue?
From what pit of foul deceit
Are all these whoppers sprung?
Liar, liar, keffiyeh on fire.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Just Ain&apos;t Cuttin&apos; It</title>
            <description>The one sad (if not pernicious) fact we have learned from the classified military documents (about the Iraq War) posted on *Wikileaks is this: While President Obama was busy kissing Iran&apos;s ass--the recalcitrant Islamic Republic was busy killing hundreds of US troops in Mesopotamia with its EFPs (Explosively Formed Penetrators).

Seems O&apos;s plan of reaching out (with puckered lips) to the Islamic World just ain&apos;t cuttin&apos; it.

            <title>Founder, Bloody Founder</title>
            <description>Yup, we&apos;ve heard it ad nauseum. It&apos;s a religion of peace...it&apos;s non-violent...Muslims don&apos;t want to kill infidels...blah, blah, blah. But is that really true? Although most Muslims around the world are not strapping on explosive accessories, there is a great body of evidence that tells a different story concerning the heart of this ideology.

And it all begins with its founder, Muhammed... 

Muhammad and his followers commenced offensive wars against peaceful nations with the goal of forcing conversions to Islam, as well as to plunder these lands. Islam was imposed upon Syria, Jordan, &apos;Palestine&apos; (Israel), Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Iran, all of North Africa, parts of India and China, and afterward Spain. 

It began with his first act of unprovoked violence when:
He ordered raids upon Meccan caravans in 623 A.D.
Then he ordered numerous assassinations in 624 A.D.
Followed by the Massacre of the Qurayza Jews in 627 A.D.
Then the destruction and subjugation of the Khaybar Jews in 628 A.D.
He ordered the first raid into Christian lands at Muta in 629 A.D.
Leads second raid into Christian territory at Tabuk in 631 A.D.
And so his faithful followers (looking for their cut of paradise) continue today. Since 9-11, Mohammedan terrorists have carried out more than 16,000 deadly terror attacks globally.

Maybe it&apos;s me, but I&apos;m not catching the non-violence in any of the above...and I merely scratched the surface. I did not include: Maimings, beheadings, honor killings, stonings, etc., which are all part of Islamic Law (taken from the Quran). 

Is Islam a non-violent ideology? Though not all Muslims commit these heinous acts, is the heart of the religion homicidal? 

Look at the folio, look at the followers...look at the founder.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Take A Wild Guess</title>
            <description>The caustic corollaries of ObamaCare are already being felt. Large corporations such as AT&amp;T, Verizon, John Deere and Caterpillar are considering dropping health coverage for their workers.

Why? Because OCare has caused a dramatic rise in the price of health insurance. And, as a result--these corporations find it more cost effective to pay the no-coverage penalty than to actually insure their employees.

So, what will these workers do? Mostly likely they will end up in the government-run insurance exchange program.

All of this begs the question: Are these just some of the unintended consequences of ObamaCare, or (just maybe) a well crafted machination designed to fulfill President Obama&apos;s ultimate dream of a one payer system?

Take a wild guess.

            <title>Their Throats Will Be The First To Bleed</title>
            <description>There is no denying the fact that liberals are a bane to society. They have not only labored assiduously to erode our nation&apos;s moral fabric by supporting welfare, socialism, high taxes, same-sex marriage, etc.--but now they are aiding and abetting the very enemy that seeks our bloody demise--Islamo-terrorists.

Libs are notorious for demonizing any individual who dares wax forthright about Islam (just ask Juan Williams). Even if one has the temerity to expose the (hard) historical record of the prophet Muhammad&apos;s violent/misogynist/anti-Semitic pathologies--those on the left will go to the hyper-extreme--to not only cloud these facts--but to also cast the individual as a bigoted, right-wing Islomaphobe.

By doing the devil&apos;s work--liberals are making it much easier for the enemy to slit our throats. But what they fail to understand is: Their throats will be the first to bleed.

            <title>The Final Chapter</title>
            <description>In a recent study issued by the Pacific Research Institute--Iowa based Principal Financial Group determined that (due to ObamaCare) it will no longer be offering health insurance. And, as a result--a staggering 840,000 people will be losing their coverage.

So, is it any wonder that Democrats can&apos;t campaign on ObamaCare? After all--the Prevaricator-in-Chief emphatically stated that (under his program) not a single person would lose his health coverage.

When the final chapter is written about Barrack Hussein Obama--it will close with these very words: Our nation&apos;s most articulate and eloquent liar.

            <title>Priority One: Soldiers&apos; Suffrage</title>
            <description>In the great and amazing experiment, that is the United States, this bastion of freedom...the LAST thing we could ever conceive of is our protectors losing their ability to vote. But that&apos;s precisely the situation, and has been, for some time...
The U.S. Justice Dept., for once, is doing something unbiased and correct. They have filed a lawsuit against the state of New York to make sure that members of the military (and other U.S. citizens living abroad) are able to vote in the coming Nov. 2, 2010, election.

NY State election officials confessed this week that they missed an extended deadline to mail absentee ballots to overseas voters. That includes members of the military...our protectors.

Pardon me, but isn&apos;t that part of their freakin&apos; job??

And, all things supposedly being equal...IL should see one coming their way as well...

If you happen to be one of our brave warriors...protecting and defending our citizenry and freedoms...and you&apos;re from IL...don&apos;t count on getting your ballot before election day. More than 35 counties in IL missed the deadline to mail military ballots to our soldiers.

BUT...if you happen to be a miscreant in the Chicago hoosegow...fear not. The Chicago Board of Elections actually hand delivered ballots to the Bastille. And if an inmate neglected to register? No prob...they bring the applications with the ballots. More than 2,600 inmates have voted so far. And amazingly, approximately 2,600 soldiers will likely never receive a ballot for this most critical election.

Is that IL&apos;s &apos;thank you&apos; to our troops??

Perhaps it&apos;s time for freedom-loving Americans...who love and respect our troops, to start a movement of suffrage for soldiers.

They deserve...above all citizens...the right to vote!

HOOAH and Semper Fi!!

            <title>Mr. Peanut Hugs Thugs: The Sequel</title>
            <description>Oh that Jimmy...he just can&apos;t help himself. He is in a puppy-love affair with Jew-haters...and it&apos;s made him take leave of his senses (what little there was)...

The 86-year-old goober just gushes every time he thinks about Hamas...that duly-elected terrorist group in Gaza that swears to the destruction of the Jewish State. I think he&apos;s lightheaded with glee as you read this...

His latest act of love and loyalty to the Terrorist thugs? His part in: The Elders. (Sounds like the name of a horror flick.)

The Elders is an autonomous group of renowned global leaders founded in 2007 by airline mogul Sir Richard Branson and co-founder of Genesis Peter Gabriel.  Four of the Elders, including Jimmy Dhimmi Carter, were sent on a repeat visit to the Middle East this week. 

Interesting, since their website states this as their goal: &quot;The Elders comprises ten visionary leaders including Graça Machel, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Kofi Annan and President Carter. They work both publicly and behind the scenes, collectively and individually, in areas of conflict such as; Kenya, Cyprus, Darfur and Zimbabwe and also work on a number of global issues, such as health and gender equality.&quot;

No mention at ALL of the Arab-Israel conflict. But in a separate statement they add that the Elders also wish to encourage &quot;a just and secure peace for all that embraces human rights principles under international law, and guarantees the right to live in equality, dignity and security to all Palestinians and Israelis.&quot;

That &apos;honorable&apos; group includes: Martti Ahtisaari; Kofi Annan; Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela. All truly not fans of Israel (and that&apos;s being kind).
Now back to Mr. Peanut...in an interview by Akiva Eldar, &apos;The return of the man from Georgia&apos;, in Ha’Aretz on October 15th: 
Ha&apos;Aretz: Did you ever encounter an Israeli demand that the Arabs recognize Israel as the state of the Jewish people?Carter: &quot;This demand is completely new. The first time I heard of it, I was in East Jerusalem after Obama’s Cairo speech [on 4 June 2009], to which Netanyahu responded with a call for the Arabs and Palestinians to acknowledge Israel as a Jewish state - which was a move probably initiated by Lieberman and his party. I don’t see how it’s possible - there are 1.5 million Arab citizens in Israel, and 320,000 who are neither Jews nor Muslims - so I don’t know if it will be possible. For the Arabs to acknowledge that the Arabs who live in Israel are Jewish will be very difficult.&quot;
This is a &quot;new&quot; issue? The first he heard of it was in 2009? I found a new Miracle Ear customer...

This is not only NOT new, but has been at the forefront of talks for decades. The efforts to create a Jewish State began with the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which declared the British Government&apos;s support for the creation of a Jewish homeland in what was then known as Palestine (renamed from Israel, by the Romans in 135 A.D.).

So Mr. Carter never heard, until 2009, that Israel wanted to be recognized as a Jewish State? I think he should check that someone didn&apos;t chuck some goobers in his auditory canal...

It&apos;s now apparent that Jimmy is hanging with the mixed nuts...mixed in their nation of origin, but not their hate for the Jewish State. 

Allow me to end this with a tribute to the old presidential goober...and I&apos;ll do it with a kiddies song:

Found a peanut, found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now,
Just now I found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now.

Cracked it open, cracked it open,
Cracked it open just now,
Just now I cracked it open,
Cracked it open just now.

It was rotten, it was rotten.

That about covers it.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Miserable Bastards</title>
            <description>On November 2nd we will witness (with great glee and satisfaction) career politicos like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi--who believe it is the role of government to create jobs--swept out of power.

These miserable bastards have (for far too long) defecated on the Jeffersonian notion that government is best when it governs least. And, as a result--have instituted draconian fiscal policies (ObamaCare, etc.) that have castrated the free market system.

Thankfully--they will be replaced by individuals (like Sharron Angle) who devoutly believe that the private sector knows best when it comes to job creation. And that a smaller government means a bigger and more robust economy.

Amen to November 2nd!

            <title>The Punks Of Persia: The Biggest Failure</title>
            <description>It is strikingly manifest that President Obama&apos;s domestic policies (stimulus package, ObamaCare, etc.) have been nothing short of a brutal failure. But his biggest (and most pernicious) failure to date has been his appeasement policy toward Iran.

It is a policy (dripping with endless mea culpas and toothless sanctions) that has not only served to buy the Punks of Persia more time to construct a nuclear weapon--but has also allowed them to strengthen their virulently anti-Semitic/anti-American proxies Hamas and Hezbollah.

And if Iran does goes nuclear (which seems inevitable)--it will be able to unleash it proxies against Israel and the West with relative impunity. Not to mention the constant threat of a mushroom cloud over Jerusalem.

            <description>President Obama is (unquestionably) a pathological liar. And his incessant whining that President Bush caused our nation&apos;s economic meltdown is his biggest whopper to date.

Fact is--fellow socialists in arms Barney Frank and Chris Dodd are the two most culpable characters in this sordid tale of greed, venality and financial fecklessness.

Lest we forget--it was this Demonic Duo that pushed mega-mortgage companies Fannie and Freddie to issue subprime loans which has cost (already beleaguered taxpayers) billions more.

            <title>Hating Israel: It&apos;s Like Being Home</title>
            <description>It&apos;s time for a little update about the little hateful, Persian weenie, Ahmadinejad (Ah&apos;jad)...he&apos;s been doing a little globe trotting...

He just hopped on over to one of his favorite playgrounds...the Switzerland of the Middle East: Lebanon. Yes, a country, because of constant appeasement by the Christian population, has become a tentacle of Iran and its oppressive rule. And it&apos;s all done through Hezbollah...you remember them...that wonderful organization that murdered 241 of our Marines (as they slept) in 1983? 

That&apos;s Ah&apos;jad&apos;s boys...

Ah&apos;jad was thrilled to be with his peeps...he even took time to state his content: &quot;I would like to thank everyone, and especially the Lebanese people who came out to welcome their brothers. They showcased Lebanon&apos;s power and we thank them for that. I feel as though I&apos;m at home, in my homeland among my brothers.&quot;

Indeed, his brethren...because the Lebanese people, in their interminable genuflection to the enemies of freedom...have elected many of these vermin into their government. 

So of COURSE Ah&apos;jad feels at home...they are all pigs feeding on the same slop...

And speaking of swine...Ah&apos;jad met with one of his underlings, the head of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, and the two declared their mutual goal of Israel&apos;s destruction.

For Ah&apos;jad...it was like being home. Because anywhere they hate the Jewish State, is home for the hellish hellion.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Why No Cry?</title>
            <description>&quot;Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...&quot;         
                     --Amendment One, U.S. Constitution

A familiar section of our Constitution, often misinterpreted. More familiar is the mantra, &apos;separation of church and state&apos;, which does NOT exist in the Constitution, but in a letter by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Assoc. to assure them that the First Amendment was not stating that government would interfere with their religious liberty. 

Though over time, many who loathe religious freedom, have used the misinterpretation of this Amendment to prevent those of TRUE peaceful religions from practicing freely. Those same entities have now made an exception...

The U.S. Embassy in Dublin (part of the U.S. State Department) has sponsored a business conference in Ireland. Sounds fairly innocuous, right? Until you further learn that the symposium was a MUSLIM business conference. You read that right...an entity of the U.S. government is PROMOTING a religion. 

Now THAT&apos;S a no-no...

But I bet that this is the first you&apos;ve heard of this news. Where&apos;s the media? The ACLU? Where&apos;s Barry Lynn and Americans United for Separation of Church and State? 

Where&apos;s the hue and cry against this blatant violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution? 

One might conclude that the State Dept. is playing favorites. Can they do that? 

Um...no they cannot. 

The pardon for the Muslim faith, from our Gov&apos;t, is a very dangerous issue. THIS is the &apos;faith&apos; that was responsible for the most horrific terror attack on our soil, and cost us 3,000 innocent lives (and innumerable wounded). This ideology is pernicious from its bloody originator to its current fiendish followers. 

So, instead of protecting the citizenry of this great nation, our leaders are advancing the destructive force of political correctness. The ideology that has designs on destroying our democracy and establishing draconian Islamic law (Sharia) from sea to shining sea.

At the conference, Ambassador Dan Rooney gave Obama&apos;s book, The Audacity of Hope, to Imam who opened the event, Hussein Halawa, of the Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland. Is that official American literature? 

Then a representative of the Dublin Institute of Technology stated that 76% of Muslim businessmen in Ireland say there is a need for financial products to be compliant with Islamic law. 

Um, that law would be Sharia law. You know, the same laws that promotes the stoning of women in Iran, if they are accused of adultery. And the same regulations that call for the maiming of individuals who steal in Saudi Arabia.

Questions to be asking those who desire your vote in November:
Why is the State Dept. promoting Sharia Law, which is antithetical to Constitutional Law?
Why is the government, in violation of the First Amendment, promoting and favoring a particular religion?
This silence, on an event that violates our founding document, should send up a red flag. This blatant disregard for the Constitution, by representatives of our government, is a road we do NOT want to venture down. 

Because, if you value individual freedom...you will NOT find it under Sharia.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>What A Bunch Of Wise Crackers</title>
            <description>During our nation&apos;s infancy--state constitutions truly reflected the relevance that religion was to play in the public square. For example--the constitutions of Delaware, Vermont and Pennsylvania required that all elected officials openly profess a belief in G-d (and the Holy Scriptures).

But the Founders also realized that certain religions were blatantly insidious--and for that very reason Georgia&apos;s constitution (1777)--although permitting religious freedom--issued the following caveat: No religion was to be permitted that was &quot;repugnant to the peace and safety” of the state.

Obviously the Founders (unlike our current leaders--who support the Ground Zero Mosque) knew--in order to protect the citizenry--there had to be limitations on freedom of religion.

What a bunch of wise crackers.

            <title>That Would Be Racist</title>
            <description>With unemployment hovering around 20% in the African American community (10% above the national average) and the poverty level at an all-time high--91% of all blacks still strongly support President Obama.

Could the explanation for such fealty to a man (whose fiscal polices have produced such horrifically painful and devastating numbers) be based on skin color?

I certainly hope not because that would be (in a word) racist.</description>

            <description>Sharia Law, Sharia Compliant, Sharia Finance. Still not enough info from part 1? Allow mean to expand your knowledge base...

Sharia Finance (Islamic Banking), creates, sells and services products that are in stringent accordance with Sharia Law. In Islamic culture, it involves the practices of banking, investment, bonds, loans, brokerage and more.

Did that sink in? It&apos;s all in accordance with Sharia law...

I believe Frank Gaffney, the founder of Center for Security Policy, laid it our clearly. In response to an Al Jazeera reporter&apos;s question about why he, and the Coalition To Stop Sharia (created by Gaffney and Robert Spencer) is opposed to a &quot;government initiative...that would bring trillions of dollars into strapped Western investment banks,&quot; Gaffney, in essence, explained:

   1.Sharia Finance is not benign, but promotes Sharia Law, a draconian form of law that promotes the violent overthrow of the US government.
   2.Sharia advisors, vital to this business, are propagandists of Sharia. Some have called this business, &quot;Financial Jihad.&quot;
   3.Sharia advisors (Sharia Advisory Board) have at their discretion the ability to move funds to charities…organizations that have connections…with terror. The biggest problem is that today, the Treasury Department OWNS a substantial portion of the investment companies and would be investing in Sharia. 

Sharia Finance is anti-capitalistic. It comes out of Sharia Law which is draconian, supremacist, misogynist and is anti-democratic. This financial system is closer to socialism, where you have the ruling class, and the surfs (that would be you and I).

Under Sharia Law, only men have the right to own land. Sharia law does not allow women access to real property. Under Sharia, a widow cannot inherit marital property. So, guess what, ladies...you want to own property? Your chances under Sharia Finance? Zero!

Both Gaffney and Spencer agree that the major problem with Sharia Finance is it gives legitimacy to Sharia Law. Indeed...and THAT is the primary purpose of this financial system. The implementation of Islamic Law...the complete and utter antithesis to our system. Sharia Law is the antithesis of our founding document: 

&quot;We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.&quot;

There is:

    *NO individual freedom under Sharia. 
    *NO pursuit of happiness under Sharia (if you happen to be Jewish, Christian, a woman or any variety of  infidel).  
    *NO financial freedom under Sharia (entrepreneurs, you&apos;re out of luck). 

More and more of our banks (yes the ones we bailed out with our tax dollars) are becoming Sharia-Compliant. Even our Treasury Dept. has held a seminar entitled, Islamic Finance 101.

So, with the election of legislators coming upon us with great celerity...consider where your candidates stand on Sharia Finance. Tarry not, for it will be at your own peril...because you never know when a Sharia Advisory Board member will come knocking on the door of your Sharia-financed home.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>Terrorists  Say: Viva Galloway!</title>
            <description>It never ceases to amaze me...how those that loathe the Jewish State...can locate opportunities to display and support that hate.

Even as recently as this weekend, before former president Jimmy &apos;Dhimmi&apos; Carter left his hospital bed...he was able to projectile clam in the face of Israel by again condemning Jews for building on their rightful land.

That&apos;s just one of the moronically misguided coming out of our shores. Our Cousins across the Pond have one of their own...and the terrorists love him too...

Enter George Galloway...crazed progressive, from the UK, who: 1) Hates everything Jewish (especially the Jewish State); 2) Is in an ambrosial love affair with radical Islam; and 3) Can&apos;t get his fill of depraved despots. His closest friends? Fidel Castro (Cuba), Omar Al-Bashir (Sudan), Bashar Assad (Syria), Hasan Nasrallah (Hezbollah), and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (Iran).  

Ever wonder what primordial slime looks like? We have a winner...!!

So what&apos;s the nefarious numbnuts up to now? 

The former British MP is now the head of Viva Palestina (VP). An organization that is now under investigation for giving millions of dollars of aid to Hamas (who is on the US and UK terror list). VP has also opened branches in Malaysia, Turkey and Arabia...all with radical Muslim populations. 

VP has a record of hostility and provocation, as proven by the conduct of its last convoy (December 2009-January 2010), which was composed of 500 activists from diverse countries. Approximately half were Turkish, and recognized among them were operatives from IHH, headed by Bülent Yildirim (his name is associated with providing support for the global jihad). The IHH, or Foundation for Human Rights and Freedom and Humanitarian Relief, is a &apos;humanitarian relief organization&apos; with ties to Hamas, al Qaeda, and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Don&apos;t you just love the way violent, radical groups can slap &apos;humanitarian&apos; in their name, and they are automatically legit to the world media? It&apos;s like popping a fancy  chocolate truffle in your mouth, and suddenly notice it&apos;s begun to tic...

Their (VP) current convoy effort to Gaza (which began in September) is only part of a broader anti-Israel propaganda attempt. Related plans, by a global partnership, are arduously in the works to isolate Israel and attenuate its legitimacy.

As rodents have been responsible for plagues in history, it&apos;s a shame that out of a democracy like the UK (in particular Scotland), a rodent is again responsible for spreading a plague: Anti-Semitism. And is joining forces with Israel&apos;s venomous neighbors...to take the last breath from the most persecuted people in history.

And as for our &apos;friend&apos; Galloway, he should first be placed on a no-fly list for the US, specifically because of his ties to terrorist organizations. And second, he should be used as a human shield by all those tolerant terrorists he keeps hugging...

Oh they won&apos;t be yelling, &quot;Viva Galloway,&quot;...but I bet he&apos;ll THEN find out just how much they really love a stupid infidel like him.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>One  Dangerous Dude</title>
            <description>Counterterrorism czar John Brennan is one dangerous dude. Why? Because instead of protecting America from the insidious forces of Islamo-thuggery--he is too busy wearing out his lips on the booty of the Muslim community.

Brennan (as reported by Human Events)--in an attempt to appease this community--has commanded the FBI to inform any and all imams of impending raids on their mosques or cultural centers.

Given the fact that these Islamic worship sites have been used in the past to plot bloody machinations against America--this is (unquestionably) one lethal form of appeasement.

            <title>Got Sharia?
(Part 1 of 2)</title>
            <description>Sharia Law, Sharia Compliant, Sharia Finance. What does it all mean, and how does this all affect us? The best way to explore the facts is directly from the Muslim rule book, Reliance of the Traveller, The Sacred Manual of Islamic Law, and find out what many in the Muslim world desire to impose upon us...because, after all...we will not be considered &apos;misunderstanders&apos; of Sharia.

What is Sharia?

Sharia is Islamic law and signifies the established or untainted interpretation of the Quran and the Hadith (which are the teachings/traditions of Mohammed) as developed by Sharia scholars and jurists during Islam’s early years. It is practiced in Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, parts of Nigeria, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Somalia and areas controlled by the Taliban. Also in the Hamas-controlled Gaza strip and al Qaeda-infested regions.

Is Sharia Radical?

The main goal of radical Islam (the political part of Islam) is to implement Sharia globally. Sharia is the draconian part of Islam (political and religious were intertwined intentionally by Mohammed), where true Muslims are required to relinquish all control of personal, family, business, and religious life to the rulings of Sharia authorities (the &apos;ulema&apos;, who are the governing body and law enforcement). The goal is to wage Jihad (whether cultural, financial, or violent) to create a one world Ummah (Muslim unity), where all peoples and governments are united under Islam. A one world Caliphate (global theocratic and authoritarian regime). 

How Does Sharia Apply To Women &amp; Children?

Here&apos;s a partial list:

    *Arab women may not marry non-Arab men.
    *Muslim women must marry Muslim men.
    *Female sexual mutilation (circumcision) is mandatory.
    *Women may not leave their home without a husband’s permission. 
    *Men may beat insubordinate wives (and today&apos;s technology provides video instruction).
    *Adultery is punished by death by stoning (definitely for women, sometimes for men).
    *A woman&apos;s testimony in court is only worth half that of a man. (Muslim value of women.)
    *Non-Muslim women married to Muslim men may not testify in Sharia courts. (Ah, equity.)
    *Rape must be verified by four male witnesses. (Talk about the deck being staked against a woman.)
    *Forced child marriage is allowed. 

Salivating to sink your teeth into this cultural &apos;change&apos; yet? Wait...there&apos;s a WHOLE lot more to entice you...

Here are a few more examples of the wonderful world of Islamic Law:

    *Aggressive, military Jihad is a religious duty.
    *Non-Muslims have inferior status in Muslim society (Dhimmis).
    *Capital punishment for slandering Islam.
    *Capital punishment for apostasy (leaving Islam).
    *Capital punishment for homosexuals and lesbians.
    *Slavery is legal.
    *Lying to infidels (unbelievers) is allowed. It&apos;s known as Taqiyyah.
    *Polygamy is allowed. 

And that&apos;s just a wee bit of a peek into this Islamic Venus Flytrap. But this is just skimming the surface...there will be another look at this demonic dogma in my next piece, covering Sharia Finance, Courts and more.

Here&apos;s an axiomatic statement: Knowledge is power. And in this case, it&apos;s the power to protect our freedom and life, as we know it.

Shalom through strength...

            <description>If there are any doubts about the sheer insidiousness of Islam--just wait and see what a nuclear armed Iran will do in the name of Allah.

            <title>Obama&apos;s Class Warfare: A War On The Middle Class</title>
            <description>President Obama&apos;s class warfare (taxing the wealthy) will only serve to do the following: Eviscerate the middle class.

According the the Heritage Foundation--allowing the Bush tax cuts (for top wage earners) to expire will cost the economy at least 7 million jobs and approximately $720 billion in income over the next ten years.

And (unquestionably) these destructive manifestations will be hardest felt in working-class communities throughout the country.

Obama&apos;s class warfare: A war on the middle class.

            <title>Remember  Ah&apos;jad&apos;s Enablers</title>
            <description>We missed him again. Probably because our government wasn&apos;t aiming at him, as is their duty. But he slithered in, relaxed, feasted on his desired fare, and even had deviant dinner guests...all right in the Big Apple, at luxury hotels. No fuss made. No media notice. No big whoop. 

Ahmadinejad (or Ah&apos;jad) flew into NYC, on his magic prayer rug, laughing his tukis off at us, all the way...

    *He took up 6 floors at the Hilton Manhattan East, on 42nd Street...90 rooms in all (according to the NY Post). Had bulletproof glass put on all the windows (to shield him from all the &apos;love&apos; he&apos;s got coming to him). 
    *Dined with members of the New Black Panther Party and Louie &apos;the Mothership&apos; Farrakhan at the Warwick Hotel on West 54th Street (I understand all crackers were removed from the dining area). 
    *Had an Iranian restaurant prepare and deliver his meals to his room (which was not greatly appreciated by the breathing public).
    *He also, reportedly, wore the same shirt and suit for SIX DAYS STRAIGHT (I&apos;m sure the breathing public was getting a real treat from that Persian essence).  

Few may be aware of this, but there is unequivocal proof that Iran is directly responsible for the deaths of some of our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2007, Gen. Peter Pace confirmed that Iran had been sending Iranian-made munitions to the Taliban. And Revolutionary Guards Quds Force Director of Operations (and his ilk) were arrested in Iraq by U.S. Forces. The US recognized terrorist group said they were there to give moral support to the insurgents.

Moral support? What did they do, throw on a little skirt, cheer shoes and grab some pompoms? 

Nope...those barbarians, and their tools, were sent there by that Jew-hating, Holocaust-denying, US troop-murdering, sludge-bucket. And he&apos;s still breathing as you read this. 

The question is: Why?

The answer...because we have a government of craven and laughable leaders who are more concerned with the Arab Street liking us, than they are with the lives of American troops, American civilians, and our staunch friends and allies: Israel. And let&apos;s not leave out the businesses (Hilton Manhattan East and the Warwick Hotel) who thought more about the filthy Iranian lucre, than respecting the country that allows them to profit...and profit big.

Feel safer now? Not with enemy-enablers among us.

Shalom through strength...

            <title>The One Thing Obama Doesn&apos;t Have</title>
            <description>At last week&apos;s UN blatherfest President Obama extended (yet) another olive branch to the mercurial and maniacal leader of Iran--Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. By doing so--Obama continues to lend legitimacy to a thuggish regime which seeks to establish a global Islamic hegemony.

And perhaps the next time Ahmadinejad shrills that the US government was behind 9/11-- Obama can remind the former military commander (who used 10 year old children to clear minefields during the Iraq/Iran war) that it is Tehran which slaughters its own citizens in the streets--not Washington, D.C.

But that would take the one thing President Obama doesn&apos;t have: A PAIR.
