Profile, and to Discriminate

On Terrorism it's Time to Know, to Profile, and to Discriminate
By Newt Gingrich

After the Christmas Day near disaster in Detroit, it is time for Americans to demand effective anti-terrorist actions.

Over eight years after 9/11 and 30 years after the Iranian illegal seizure of the United States embassy and the 444 day Iranian hostage crisis, Washington is still avoiding being intellectually honest about the war we are in.

Our Politically Correct Government is Making Life More Miserable For the Innocent

America is long overdue for a serious global strategy that includes targeting threats such as the terrorist killer at Fort Hood, the individuals recently arrested in Detroit, Denver and New York, and the five Americans detained in Pakistan. The scale, persistence and sophistication of the enemy requires an honesty, a clarity, and a scale appropriate to the response.

Once again, instead of targeting the source of the threats, our politically correct government decides to make life more miserable for the travelling public by imposing hopelessly meaningless rules such as not allowing passengers to leave their seats in the last hour of the flight. Bound by cultural sensitivities, the default reaction of the bureaucracy is to review the procedures and wring its hands ineffectively.

Today, because our elites fear politically incorrect honesty, they believe that it is better to harass the innocent, delay the harmless, and risk the lives of every American than to do the obvious, the effective, and the necessary.

It's Time to Be Honest About What We Know

Before a lot more Americans are killed we must acquire the courage to tell the truth and to act on that truth.

We know our opponents are radical extremists of the irreconcilable wing of Islam(Islamists, some would call them).

We know they have an ideology which is anti-female, desires to impose fundamentalist Sharia as a form of law, is hostile to other religions and is prepared to kill the innocent to achieve their goals.

We know how to identify these enemies but our elites have refused to do so.

Protecting the Rights of Terrorists Has Been More Important than Protecting the Lives of Americans

In the Obama Administration, protecting the rights of terrorists has been more important than protecting the lives of Americans.

That must now change decisively.

It is time to know more about would-be terrorists, to profile for terrorists and to actively discriminate based on suspicious terrorist information.

The United States should track down the owners of every website that promotes terrorism and systematically root them out. It should be as dangerous to a person promoting terrorism as it is to execute an act of terrorism.

The same should apply to the electronic communications of every known radical (and using these communications to track down every unknown radical).

The United States Must Actively Root Out Every Terrorist Website

The people behind these websites should be barred from getting a U.S. visa if not in the United States (concurrently, we should make it easier – not harder – for non-terrorists to get visas because we want to encourage the law abiding while discriminating against the potential terrorist).

An integrated data base for threats should have been expected, we now learn that it does not exist. This must be fixed.

It should be reasonable for the flying public to have expected that when the Nigerian terrorist's father reported he was going to a terrorist training camp he should automatically have been barred from getting a visa and from flying into the United States.

We Need a "Grand National Strategy" That is Bigger Than the Debate Over Afghanistan

The emergence of Yemen as the new planning, equipping, and training center for terrorism should remind us we need a worldwide "grand national strategy" (to use the World War II term) that is far bigger than our current debate over Afghanistan.

Americans should also note that ABC News is reporting that two of the plotters to blow the Amsterdam to Detroit flight out of the air were released from Guantanamo in 2007, attended an "art rehabilitation program" in Saudi Arabia, were released and took up senior leadership positions in al Qaeda in Yemen. Americans should also know that nearly half of the remaining detainees in Guantanamo are from Yemen.

The recent arrest of five Americans in Pakistan and the report there are 25 British citizens training to be bombers in Yemen should remind us this is a global war.

Moreover, the report that 74 Guantanamo detainees who have been released are back in the war trying to kill Americans should stop any further effort to close Guantanamo or to release terrorists.

The New Honesty Should End Any Thought of a Civilian Trial in New York for KSM

This new honesty about the threat should end any thought of a civilian trial in New York for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammad with its dangers for exposing American intelligence information. All terrorists including would-be bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab should be tried in military tribunals as part of a serious war strategy.

The Attorney General and every Justice Department appointee whose law firms provided pro bono counsel for terrorists should be fired and replaced with lawyers who believe the lives of Americans are more important than the rights of terrorists.

The United States must have a policy of effective interrogation to understand our enemies and disrupt their planned attacks

We Need a New Homeland Security Secretary Who Knows We Need a New Strategy

Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano's claim that the Detroit bomber was allowed to board a plan with explosives hidden in his underwear proved the system worked is proof we need a new Homeland Security Secretary who knows we need a new strategy and a new focus.

These are the first steps toward defeating the extremists.

We should take them before there is a tragic attack that kills a lot of people.

We have been warned. Again.

Will we now act?

Your friend,

Newt Gingrich

Re Barack Hussein Obama: I Told You So

Ever wonder why we have to go to the foreign press to read press like this? Our neighbor, Canada, in this case.

By Howard Galganov

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

23 July 2009





When Obama won the Presidency with the help of the LEFTIST Media, Hollywood And Entertainment Liberals, Ethnic Socialists (ACORN), Stupid Non-Business Professionals and Bush Haters, I wrote: It won't take six months until the People figure this guy out and realize how horrible a mistake they've made. And when they come to that realization, the damage to the United States of America will be so great it will take a generation or more to repair - IF EVER.

The IDIOTS who not only voted for the Messiah, but also worked [hard] to promote his Lordship, are now left holding the bag.

Here are two things they will NEVER do: They will NEVER admit to making a Blunder out of all proportion by electing a snake-oil salesman with no Positive social history or management experience of any kind. They will NEVER take responsibility for the curse they've imposed upon the immediate and long-term future of their country.

In essence, the people responsible for putting this horror show in power are themselves responsible for every cataclysmic decision he makes and the Consequences thereof.

In just six months, the Messiah's polls are showing the following: On Healthcare Reform - He's going under for the third time with polling well Under 50 percent, even within his own Party. Even though he might be able to Muscle a Healthcare Reform Bill by using Chicago BULLY tactics against his Fellow Democrats, it will just make things worse.  On Cap and Trade (Cap and Tax) - The Fat-Lady is already singing. On the Stimulus Package (Tax and Spend) - His popularity is in FREE-FALL.  On the TARP package he took and ran With from President Bush -It's all but Good-Night Irene. On the closing of GITMO and "HIS" war on what he no longer wants called the War On Terrorism - He's standing in quicksand with his head just about to go under. On a Comparison between himself and George W Bush at the same six months into Their respective first term Presidencies - Bush is ahead of him in the Polls. On a comparison between He Who Walks On Water and the 12 preceding Presidents between WW II and now - Obama ranks 10th. On a Poll just Conducted, that asks who would you vote for today between Obama and Mitt Romney - It's a dead heat. Between Obama and Palin - Obama's ONLY ahead by 8 Points and she hasn't even begun to campaign.  It seems to me that Obama Wants to be everywhere where he shouldn't be.

He's personally invested in [totally insulting] America 's ONLY REAL Middle Eastern ally ( Israel ) in favor of Palestinian Despots and Murderers. He's traveling the world apologizing for the USA while lecturing others on how to do it right, when in fact and truth he has no experience at doing anything other than getting elected.

He went to the Moslem world in Egypt to declare that America IS NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION while he heaped praises on Islam, where he compared the "plight" of the Palestinians to the Holocaust.

The Russians think he's a putz, The French think he's rude.

The Germans want him to stop spending.

The Indians want him to mix his nose out of their environmental business.

The North Koreans think he's a joke, The Iranians won't acknowledge his calls.

And the British can't even come up with a comprehensive opinion of him.

As for the Chinese, he's too frightened to even glance their way. [After All, China now owns a large portion of the United States .]

Maybe if America 's first Emperor would stay home more, travel less, and work A little bit instead of being on television just about everyday (or forget About his Wednesday Date Nights with his Amazon Wife) or stop running to "papered" Town Hall Meetings, perhaps he would have a little bit of time to Do the work of the nation.

In all fairness, it wasn't HARD to be RIGHT in my prediction concerning Obama's presidency, even in its first six months, so I'm going to make yet another prediction: 

OBAMA WILL PROBABLY NOT FINISH HIS 4-YEAR TERM, at least not in a Conventional way.

He is such a political HORROR SHOW, and so detrimental to the USA and his Own Democratic Party, that the Democrats themselves will either FORCE him to Resign or figure out a way to have him thrown out.

Who knows, maybe he really isn't a BORN US Citizen and that's a way the Democrats will be able to get rid of him. [He is a citizen, but not a naturalized citizen with both mother and father being US citizens.]

Or - MORE LIKELY THAN NOT, the Democrats will make Obama THEIR OWN LAME DUCK PRESIDENT.

I don't believe the Democrats have nearly as much love for their country as they do for their own political fortunes. And with Obama, their fortunes are rapidly becoming toast.

The Democrats can keep on blaming Bush for EVERYTHING, but that game's already begun to wear real thin.

Their mantra was "WE DON'T WANT 4 MORE YEARS," which the STUPID people bought, since McCain was nothing at all like George W Bush.

The new mantra will soon become: "WE DON'T WANT 6 MORE MONTHS... And remember folks, he wrote this several months ago . .

Apathy Is The Greatest Danger To Our Freedom

OBITUARY
Born 1776, Died 2008

It does not hurt to read this several times




Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning last November's Presidential election:

Number of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29
Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million McCain: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.

Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

If you are in favor of this, then by all means, continue to do nothing.

If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

Harry Reid's Christmas Greeting To America

Heres your Christmas Card from Washington D.C

And...here is your opportunity to put your finger right back in Harry Reid's face!

We The People!

Well Done Ray!

Does Anyone Here Look Familiar??

(There appears to be sufficient information in other articles to suggest that this event occurred, that the photo is real, and that efforts have and are being made to remove references to Tareq Salahi from the website mentioned below. A Google search for Tareq Salahi will reveal most of the supporting information.)




See the white guy in the white suit? Now see the blond with the white dress? See the guy in the middle…huuuummmm.

This picture was taken 6/9/05. It seems Obama has known these two phonys for awhile, at least when he was a Senator.

They're getting all this press now as "party crashers" and the secret service is taking heat. Funny how this has not come out in the press isn't it?!

No wonder the couple who crashed Obama's State dinner last week keep insisting they were invited guests…they know Barry from way back when he was still an Illinois Senator. Is Obama trying to throw the Secret Service under the bus?

Tareq and Michaele Salahi snapped the pic above with Obama at a "Rock The Vote" event on June 9, 2005 (also attended by John McCain…whom the Salahi's also took a pic with). McCain won an award for his work on campaign finance reform". "Just call me Funk Master McCain," he told the audience of 1,000 in accepting his award. Obama won an award for "forming a multiracial coalition in winning his seat".

Michaele Salahi is getting quite a ribbing in the press for lying about being a Redskins cheerleader, but Tareq is the more interesting of the two to me. He has ties to Palestinian terrorists.

Tareq is a board member of the American Task Force on Palestine, which has quickly scrubbed it's site of the fact. Thank the Lord for Google cache. Here's the site last night with Tariq as a board member. Today…no Tariq. Now why is that? And just who are the ATFP? The ATFP has ties to Chicago, ties to Muslim radicals, ties to Hamas, and ties to Saudi Wahhabists. It is arguably the American wing of Hamas. The group's co-founder is Rashid Khalidi, the guy purported to have helped finance Obama's Harvard education and who was also instrumental in getting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak at Columbia University.

During the Beruit war, Khalidi was a PLO spokesperson. After the war, he came back to teach at the University of Chicago He is a virulent critic of Israel, and a strong supporter of Fatah terrorist Yassar Arafat. Obama has referred to Khalidi as someone who challenges his "own biases."

Why do the same dubious tentacles seem to continually surround Obama? The fact that the ATFP is scrubbing information on Salahi from their website suggests possible damage control coordination between the ATFP and the White House. If the ATFP was acting independently, there would be no reason to scrub Salahi's name from their site. It looks like Salahi was an invited guest to the dinner, that he was "outed" and the administration had to come up with a rational excuse for his presence.

Now the Salahis want to sell their story they're a little broke these days, but they still live VERY high on the hog. AND get to go to the Department of Defense

The Secret Service has already apologized for the incident, but they may clear their names if the Salahis start singing. If someone with ties to the American wing of Hamas can get face to face with the President without the Secret Service realizing it…that is a major lapse. However, if Obama's people knowingly allowed Salahi in and are now throwing the Secret Service under the bus to cover themselves, that would be a major scandal. Some in Congress are calling for an investigation… Something is VERY fishy in the White House.

Congress and you...DO NOT FORGET!!!!

2010 - DO NOT FORGET 
 
Your U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.

1.   They voted to not give you a S.S. cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.

2.   Your Medicare premiums will go up  $285.60  for the 2-years and you will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr. Your  total  2-yr  loss and cost  is -$1,600 or -$3,200   for husband and wife.

3.  Over 2-yrs  they will each get $10,000  

4.  Do you feel SCREWED?

5.  Will they have your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., increase to pay? 

      NO WAY!       

 They have a raise and better benefits. Why care about you? You never did anything about it in the past.  You obviously are too stupid or don't care . Are they laughing WITH you ?

6.  Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al, care about you? 

  SEND THEM A MESSAGE--    You're FIRED!

IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF THE SITTING CONGRESS:   Up to 1/3 OF THE SENATE, AND 100% OF THE HOUSE . 

MAKE SURE YOU'RE STILL MAD IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND REMIND THEIR REPLACEMENTS NOT TO SCREW UP.

It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence  if you are finally tired of the abuse 
  
By the way, how's that "hopey" - "changey" thing working out for you? 
   
  
 

Obama's "Guarantees"

A few hours ago I happened to catch a short "blurb" on Fox News Channel where the run up to the story showed a portion of an Obama interview with one of the many "left wing" hacks that produce "Obama News" for their audience.  I am not sure if it was Matt Lauer or Bill Moyer, but that doesn't matter.  They are both left wing nuts anyway.

 

The focus of the FNC report was Obama's answer to some softball question about what would happen if the Senate didn't pass the massive health care bill that is currently being debated there.  What struck me about Obama's answer was not the answer itself, but his emphatic, theatrical delivery of the answer.  To paraphrase, he said, "I can GUARANTEE the American People that if this bill does not pass the cost of their health care will go up, they will be dropped from their employers plans, and insurance premiums will be so high that no one can afford to pay for insurance".  With the booming voice and demeanor that was, and still is, present during his many campaign oratories, Obama made crystal clear his "GUARANTEE".

 

Does anyone remember Obama's "guarantee" of transparency in government?   Does anyone remember Obama's "guarantee" of "cleaning up" Washington, D. C.?   No more lobbyists.  No more "politics as usual" for his administration.  No sir!  Not in his Presidency.  His administration would be "open to the American People" and "clean".

 

Did he back up those GUARANTEES?  I think the answer to that question is as clear by now as it ever will be.  He never intended to keep those promises.  He's nothing more than a "political hack" for the left wing extremists who have taken over the Democrat Party.  A "mouth" that spews the rhetoric.  Nothing more, nothing less.  I think it would be safe to say that this man is a very convincing BALD FACED LIAR!

 

With the super majority that now exists in the House and Senate, there is little hope that anyone or anything can stand in the way of these outrageous spending bills, the Cap and Trade Bill, global warming "giveaways" to third world countries, amnesty for illegal immigrants, and God only knows what else they will foist upon the backs of working Americans.  Now with the Fed printing money so fast that they are burning up the printing presses, Americans will loose buying power at an unprecidented rate when the "chickens come home to roost".  More dollars for less product.  That's what inflation does.

 

Do  you think another three years of this kind of reckless fiscal behavior will be sustainable?  I don't. And if you agree, then I suggest that you make a decision right now, that you and your family will have to make sacrifices you never dreamed of when it comes to pass and prepare your children and grand children for their loss of liberty and freedom.

 

Alternatively, you can make another decision.  Make whatever sacrifice you have to in order to help stop the Obama Express.  I urge you to visit this link and watch a brief video.  If this video doesn't inspire you to action, then nothing will.  It is time to get involved.  Help save America!

 

 

Victory or Death!

This video is about 9 minutes and 45 seconds in length, and could be the most important political speech you will ever hear. If you think you are too busy to watch and listen for such a short amount of time, then don't. But if you pass this opportunity to learn what it will take to recover from the awful mess that has, and continues to be, shoveled onto the liberties and freedoms of God fearing, hard working men and women all over this country, then one day you will be told that you were one of the unfaithful who wouldn't take the time to save the American dream for posteriety.

We are at a tipping point in history where it has never been more important for right thinking citizens to step up to the plate. Take the time to watch. You won't regret it.

A Letter To Barbara Boxer

Do you remember the scene? The Senate. Barbara Boxer hearing from a
Brigadier General? Silly General! He addresses Barbara as "Ma'am", and she
CORRECTS him, telling him she's "worked SO hard to earn the title,
"Senator", so please to use that when speaking to her.


Get a load of this letter!

Read the letter sent to Sen. Barbara Boxer from an Alaskan Airlines pilot below.

Many of us witnessed the arrogance of Barbara Boxer on June 18, 2009 as she admonished Brigadier General Michael Walsh because he addressed her as "ma'am" and not "Senator" before a Senate hearing.

This letter is from a National Guard aviator and Captain for Alaska Airlines named Jim Hill. I wonder what he would have said if he were really angry. Long fly Alaska !!!!!

Babs:

You were so right on when you scolded the general on TV for using the term, "ma'am," instead of "Senator". After all, in the military, "ma'am" is a
term of respect when addressing a female of superior rank or position. The general was totally wrong. You are not a person of superior rank or position.. You are a member of one of the world's most corrupt organizations, the U.S. Senate, equaled only by the U.S. House of Representatives.

Congress is a cesspool of liars, thieves, inside traders, traitors, drunks (one who killed a staffer, yet is still revered), criminals, and other low level swine who, as individuals (not all, but many), will do anything to enhance their lives, fortunes and power, all at the expense of the People of the United States and its Constitution, in order to be continually re-elected.  How many of you could honestly say, "We pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor"?  None?  One? Two?

Your reaction to the general shows several things. First is your abysmal ignorance of all things military. Your treatment of the general shows you to be an elitist of the worst kind.. When the general entered the military (as most of us who served) he wrote the government a blank check, offering his life to protect your derriere, now safely and comfortably ensconced in a 20 thousand dollar leather chair, paid for by the general's taxes. You repaid him for this by humiliating him in front of millions.

Second is your puerile character, lack of sophistication, and arrogance, which borders on the hubristic. This display of brattish behavior shows you to be a virago, termagant, harridan, nag, scold or shrew, unfit for your position, regardless of the support of the unwashed, uneducated masses who have made California into the laughing stock of the nation.

What I am writing, are the same thoughts countless millions of Americans have toward Congress, but who lack the energy, ability or time to convey them. Regardless of their thoughts, most realize that politicians are pretty much the same, and will vote for the one who will bring home the most bacon, even if they do consider how corrupt that person is. Lord Acton (1834 - 1902) so aptly charged, "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Unbeknownst to you and your colleagues, "Mr. Power" has had his way with all of you, and we are all the worse for it.

Finally Senator, I, too, have a title. It is "Right Wing Extremist Potential Terrorist Threat." It is not of my choosing, but was given to me by your Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano. And you were offended by "ma'am"?

Have a fine day. Cheers!

Obama: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's Story"

OBAMA said, in his Cairo speech: "I know, too, that Islam
has always been a part of America's story"

Dear Mr. Obama:

Were those Muslims that were
in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought
they were Native American Indians.

Were those Muslims that celebrated
the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native
American Indians.

Can you show me one Muslim signature on
the United States Constitution? Declaration
of Independence? Bill of Rights? Didn't think so.

Did Muslims
fight for this country's freedom from England? No.

Did Muslims
fight during the Civil War to free the slaves
in America? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the
largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own 'half brother' a devout Muslim
still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer
to black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves." Says a lot of what the Muslim world
really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage" doesn't it Mr.
Obama?

Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights
era of this country? Not present. There are no pictures or media
accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King Jr.. or
helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.

Where were Muslims during
this country's Woman's Suffrage era? Again, not present. In
fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic
culture. So much so that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or
for talking to a man that is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep,
the Muslims are all for women's rights aren't they?

Where were Muslims
during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The
Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and
accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.




Finally Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th,
2001? If they weren't flying planes into the
World Trade Center, the Pentagon or a field
in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they
were rejoicing in the middle east. No one can dispute the pictures shown from
all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other
news networks that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims whose asses you
bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo, Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent
post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of
that day.

And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here
in America.

Obama invites a nightmare

Obama invites a nightmare

Peter Heck - Guest Columnist - 11/30/2009 8:30:00 AM

The storyline is hauntingly familiar: terrorist detainees were moved to a major city to await trial.  While there, fellow Islamic terrorists decided to make a daring and dastardly attempt to gain their release, not by attacking the well-protected courtroom or the heavily guarded detention facility (they are bloodthirsty but they are not stupid), but by going for a more tantalizing target.

Thirty-five bomb-laden Muslim terrorists stormed a crowded middle school full of parents, teachers, and children.  By doing so, they immediately gained what they desired most: the eyes of a watching world paralyzed with fear at what they might do.  And the world had reason to fear.  Over the course of this three-day massacre, the terrorists barricaded doors and tied up authorities in "negotiations" that were used only to buy them the time they needed to coldly execute the stronger men hostages, rape young girls in front of their watching mothers, and rig explosives throughout the complex to ensure that when the authorities stormed the building there would be massive casualties.

This horrific drama played out in the quiet Russian town of Beslan just five short years ago.  In the end, 394 lay dead (over half of them children) with another 704 injured. And stunningly, Barack Obama has just invited the same carnage to our shores.

When the President's Attorney General Eric Holder announced the administration's breathtakingly ignorant decision to bring 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed (KSM) and five compatriots to New York City to stand trial in civilian court for their act of war, there was undoubtedly a collective gasp in the small towns outside New York.  The citizens there surely must recognize that the high-profile status of KSM alone is enough to tempt every terror cell this side of Basra to consider making their rural middle schools the stage for Beslan: Act Two.

Why any president sworn to protect the lives of his fellow citizens would take such an outrageously absurd and completely unnecessary risk is unfathomable.  And make no mistake...it is unnecessary.  KSM and his fellow terrorists were already being tried by military commissions far away from American children and out of the international spotlight that they so desperately crave.  Many, including KSM, had already pled guilty and requested execution.

But Barack Obama halted these commissions when he came into office, apparently more concerned with bolstering his image as a "citizen of the world" than protecting his own people.  He then passed the buck to Eric Holder who announced that the terrorists would be brought to one of America's largest cities for the trial of the century.

The negative consequences of this decision are plentiful.  From endangering innocent Americans to gift-wrapping a perfect propaganda opportunity for the terrorist world, this decision is inexcusable.  And considering that the choice to try these monsters in civilian courts was to supposedly ensure that justice would be done, this decision becomes incomprehensible. (How, for instance, will these show trials result in any better or more just outcome than a guilty plea and execution sentence - something that the military commission had all but secured?)

Obama and Holder have now given constitutional "rights of the accused" to these terrorists (something that has never been done throughout all of American history). And if you don't think that their lawyers are going to bring up the manner of their detainment, the circumstances surrounding their capture, any perceived threats or mistreatment, any notion of coerced confessions, their lack of immediate access to attorneys, demand for relocation, complaints about a biased jury, calls for mistrials, and the need for an extensive appeals process, you aren't thinking...sort of like the Obama administration.

With a decision this bad - one that is receiving scorn across the country from angry Americans of all political backgrounds - one might hope that Team Obama would come to its senses and reverse course.  Not likely.

When announcing this preposterous decision Holder stated, "To the extent that there are political consequences, I'll just have to take my lumps."

Frankly, sir, the grisly images of Beslan are a little too fresh in our minds to be overly concerned with your personal political consequences. We're a bit more concerned about the potentially deadly consequences this ragingly incompetent administration may have just brought on innocent American citizens.

Vice President Joe Biden once criticized Barack Obama's lack of preparedness for the serious responsibilities associated with the job of president by saying that the presidency was "not something that lends itself to on-the-job training."  God forbid that we're about to see just how right he was.

Another Hypocrite Identified!

Okay.... Let me see if I have this right. 

 

The leftist crowd has been pushing a radical environmental agenda for years under the widely touted assumption that all the ills that we might be suffering from time to time, whether its tied to "global warming" or "global cooling", are caused by the industriousness of human beings.  That is to say, in a little different way, that we humans, as an element of the earths population, are destroying our planet in our attempts to improve and advance civilization. 

 

In a concerted effort that has spanned over 4 decades, these self-righteous, ideological nutcases have been attempting to prove their "theory" by trotting out the opinions of so called "environmental scientists" (only the one's whose opinions support their theory) in a overt and blatant attempt to brainwash as many of our children and young adults in government run schools and left leaning universities as they possibly can.  They have been very successful in cramming their "one sided views" into the minds of the masses who were simply taking them at face value without question.  Of course they must be right, many thought, because they have the "scientific data" to prove their point.

 

Now we have a new development coming to light that raises questions as to their motives and veracity.  Emails from inside the small cluster of "scientists" (please note that I am using that term loosely) who have been at the epicenter of these "global warming theories" that have been made the basis for a massive piece of legislation in the United States (Cap and Tax) and other worldwide environmental initiatives, are being made public (leaked is the leftist terminology).  These emails show that there has, at the very least been an inside effort to "hide" certain data that would be harmful to the environmentalist nutcase' agenda, and beyond that, to poison the well of data that would debunk their theory. 

 

One would think that most "right thinking people", and by that I mean those who employ logic and common sense, will gladly welcome this new information that has come to light on the eve of a great push for legislation that will, by all accounts, literally put the brakes on the American economic engine, as it could lead to a more sensible non-emergency approach to curbing whatever polluting indulgences our industry might have been guilty of since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.  And I believe that most "right thinking people" will react just that way.  But not the leftist nutcase ideologues.

 

No... The leftist nutcase ideologues are having a much different reaction to this "leaked" information and the damage that it will undoubtedly cause to their push for more government control of every aspect of American Freedoms.  Their reaction is currently being "showcased" by one nutcase U. S. Senator Barbara Boxer of California as she calls for an "investigation" into the "criminal acts" of the "leakers".   Doesn't that seem to be a strange position for a U. S. Senator who is sworn to "uphold and defend the constitution" of the United States? 

 

In the context of our political history over the last 40 or so years, Boxer's leftist outcry seems to me to be a little hypocritical.  Perhaps we should think back a few years to a time when Barbara Boxer was likely a very young, still wet behind the ears, leftist nutcase in training in the mid 1970's when the Democrats (whose party was in the process of being hijacked by the left wing nutcases of the day) were ever so gleeful that President Richard Nixon was in the thick of an illegal cover up of the break in of the Democrat Headquarters at the Watergate Hotel.  Wasn't that scandalous event perpetuated by "leaked" information by an informant who was only identified as "Deep Throat"?

 

If anything, Ms. Boxer should be nominated as an all time champion "political gymnast" for this demonstration of back flipping ability.  Otherwise, she and others like her should be awarded their rightful place in American Political History as the back stabbing, power grubbing, special interest hypocrites that they are.

 

Yes... I think I have it right...

Fellow Americans,

Please know: I am Black; I grew up in the segregated South. I did not vote for Barack Obama; I wrote in Ron Paul's name as my choice for president Most importantly, I am not race conscious. I do not require a Black president to know that I am a person of worth, and that life is worth living. I do not require a Black president to love the ideal of America .

I cannot join you in your celebration. I feel no elation. There is no smile on my face. I am not jumping with joy. There are no tears of triumph in my eyes. For such emotions and behavior to come from me, I would have to deny all that I know about the requirements of human flourishing and survival - all that I know about the history of the United States of America , all that I know about American race relations, and all that I know about Barack Obama as a politician. I would have to deny the nature of the "change" that Obama asserts has come to America .

Most importantly, I would have to abnegate my certain understanding that you have chosen to sprint down the road to serfdom that we have been on for over a century. I would have to pretend that individual liberty has no value for the success of a human life. I would have to evade your rejection of the slender reed of capitalism on which your success and mine depend. I would have to think it somehow rational that 94 percent of the 12 million Blacks in this country voted for a man because he looks like them (that Blacks are permitted to play the race card), and that they were joined by self-declared "progressive" whites who voted for him because he doesn't look like them.

I would have to wipe my mind clean of all that I know about the kind of people who have advised and taught Barack Obama and will fill posts in his administration - political intellectuals like my former colleagues at the Harvard University 's Kennedy School of Government.

I would have to believe that "fairness" is equivalent of justice. I would have to believe that a man who asks me to "go forward in a new spirit of service, in a new service of sacrifice" is speaking in my interest.. I would have to accept the premise of a man that economic prosperity comes from the "bottom up," and who arrogantly believes that he can will it into existence by the use of government force. I would have to admire a man who thinks the standard of living of the masses can be improved by destroying the most productive and the generators of wealth.

Finally, Americans, I would have to erase from my consciousness the scene of 125,000 screaming, crying, cheering people in Grant Park, Chicago irrationally chanting "Yes We Can!" Finally, I would have to wipe all memory of all the times I have heard politicians, pundits, journalists, editorialists, bloggers and intellectuals declare that capitalism is dead - and no one, including especially Alan Greenspan, objected to their assumption that the particular version of the anti-capitalistic mentality that they want to replace with their own version of anti-capitalism is anything remotely equivalent to capitalism.

So you have made history, Americans. You and your children have elected a Black man to the office of the president of the United States , the wounded giant of the world. The battle between John Wayne and Jane Fonda is over - and that Fonda won. Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern must be very happy men. Jimmie Carter, too. And the Kennedys have at last gotten their Kennedy look-a-like. The self-righteous welfare statists in the suburbs can feel warm moments of satisfaction for having elected a Black person.

So, toast yourselves: 60s countercultural radicals, 80s yuppies and 90s bourgeois bohemians. Toast yourselves, Black America . Shout your glee Harvard, Princeton , Yale, Duke, Stanford, and Berkeley. You have elected not an individual who is qualified to be president, but a Black man who, like the pragmatist Franklin Roosevelt, promises to - Do Something! You now have someone who has picked up the baton of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. But you have also foolishly traded your freedom and mine - what little there is left - for the chance to feel good.

There is nothing in me that can share your happy obliviousness. God Help Us all...

Say No To Obama!

WWII Battleship Sailor tells Obama to shape up or ship out

(Qualification: At the time I posted this letter there was no verification of it's veracity... however, regardless of whether Mr. Estes actually wrote this letter or not, I believe that it contains thoughts that are on the minds of many Americans of all generations, but especially those whose sacrifices have contributed to the defense of our freedoms.)

WWII Battleship Sailor tells Obama to shape up or ship out

This venerable and much honored WW II vet is well known in Hawaii for his seventy-plus years of service to patriotic organizations and causes all over the country. A humble man without a political bone in his body, he has never spoken out before about a government official, until now. He dictated this letter to a friend, signed it and mailed it to the president.

---

Dear President Obama,

My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.

I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.

One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.

So here goes.

I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish. I can't figure out what country you are the president of. You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:

· "We're no longer a Christian nation"

· "America is arrogant" - (Your wife even announced to the world,"America is mean-spirited. " Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)

I'd say shame on the both of you but I don't think you like America nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.

After 9/11 you said," America hasn't lived up to her ideals." Which ones did you mean?

1. Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British ?

2. Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War ?

I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers,husbands,and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII,because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around because we stand for freedom.

4. I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.

Take a little advice from a very old geezer,young man. Shape up and start acting like an American.If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue .You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.

And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts who was putting up a fight ? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are,terrorists.

One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life but you're the Commander-in-Chief now,son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.

You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president. You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now. And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.

Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes

When a 95 year old hero of the "the Greatest Generation" stands up and speaks out like this, I think we owe it to him to send his words to as many Americans as we can. Please pass it on.

Why?

As I pen this post, I am wondering if there is any limit to the stupidity of the established elite in Washington, D. C.? 

 

For many years now we have been attempting to deal with Islamic aggressors who have been attacking our facilities at home and abroad.  Whatever their grievance is seems to have become manifest with the take over of our U. S. Embassy in Tehran, Iran in 1979, and has not ceased since that time.  I could, but won't, recreate a long list of attacks that are all aimed directly at the heart and soul of America, American, and the American way of life, which to this point, has been liberties and freedoms known nowhere else in the world.

 

The way that we have chosen to deal with those who were caught and blamed for the aforementioned attacks has alternated between treating them as combatants on the one hand because they have chosen to "declare" war... not us, or as criminals who have acted against the established laws of our country, which then causes us, according to our U. S. Constitution, to be required to extend to them the same rights as "citizens" of the United States.  In the case of the latter, they have the full power of the court system at their disposal, including their right to be represented by counsel for which we may be required to pay.  This is an absurd position regardless of any context. 

 

It is very clear to me, and many other Americans, that these operatives are terrorists by their own admission and their goal is to destroy not only our government, but all of our other freedoms under our constitution, including that of religion.

 

Now we have the "liberal elite", who happen to be in power in Washington, D. C. at the moment, calling for the the admitted mastermind of the attacks of 9/11 to be tried in New York City, in a Federal court.  Why?  That is the simple question that screams for an answer!  Why?

 

Why give the terrorists the same standing as a U. S. Citizen in a Federal Court?

 

Why give the terrorists the full power of the mostly misguided American media?

 

Why give the Citizens of New York City and New York State the bill for the cost of security for such a trial?

 

Why give the terrorists a much needed forum in which to declare their disdain for our culture?

 

Why create a litteral propaganda juggernaut that the terrorists can use to further forment hate and discontent among their legions?

 

Why set up a mechanism  with which the terrorists can enhance their recruitment of other Jihidists?

 

A long list of "why's" could be called for here... but ultimately there is only one question in my mind...

 

Why give the terrorists anything other than about 5 minutes to spew their hatred just prior to tightening a noose around their neck and hanging them?

 

In my opinion, a trial of these terrorists should be a Military Tribunal and shouldn't last more than a day at the most with hanging to commence within 48 hours or sooner if the gallows can be built before that time.  They have already admitted guilt in most cases, and if not explicitly, then by their knowledge of the events of 9/11.  That is enough! These operatives are "soldiers" in a jihad that has been declared and is currently being carried out around the world against anyone who does not subscribe to their beliefs.

 

If we continue to allow our elected and appointed officials to attempt to deal with these terrorists as part of a civilized society, then we will loose this war eventually, because the terrorists have no such respect for civility.  By the actions that they take on a regular basis, IE; bombings, etc, they demonstrate that they care not about any "convention of war".. such as the Geneva Convention.  Their targets are innocent civilians enmasse as a means of creating an atmosphere that will stifle the economies of the countries that they target.  They don't care if there are women, children and other innocent non-combatants whose lives are destroyed... they only want to acheive one thing and that is total Islamic dominence of the world.  We should be reading their "play book".  Why tie one hand behind our backs in the name of civility and eventually loose the war?  The only way to win is to seek them out, no matter where they are, and totally destroy them, not capture and try them.

 

Consider this an appeal to every right thinking American, and I don't mean "right" in the sense of the far political right.  I am referring to just common ordinary everyday thought.  It is called common sense.  Then apply a little extrapilation to see where that will take us.  We must fight back and we must do so now.

 

There are two enemies of our attempts to save our way of life... One is the terrorists themselves and you already know what I think should be done with them.  The second enemy of our success in saving the American way of life is the misinformed, misguided elite establishment in Washington D. C. who are, through their distorted vision of this time in the history of the world, allowing the enemies of freedom everywhere to gradually win their battles by intimidation tactics.  Simply put the terrorists are attempting to "bully" their way to their goals and our stupid officials in Washington D. C., no matter their political allegiance, are helping them.   Therefore, part of the solution to the world's terrorism problem is to "change" the thinking of the officials who are making these insane decisions.  It must be done quickly before they are allowed to implement their intentions.  I suggest that can be accomplished peacefully through a very strong POPULAR UPRISING of the electorate in America.

 

America is the last bastion of hope for freedom  and we are currently loosing the battle. Join with me to encourage your neighbors and friends to engage the idiots in Washington DC and make known our demand for a change in the "rules of engagement" in this war to destroy us.

 

 

The Irrelevance of Peaceful Islam

The Irrelevance of Peaceful Islam

 

This is one of the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist
situation I have ever read. His references to past history
are accurate and clear. Not long, easy to understand, and
The author of this email is Paul E. Marek...

A German's View on Islam

A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World
War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When
asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he
gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.

"Very few people were true Nazis," he said,
"but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many
more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just
thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority
just sat back and let it all happen."

"Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had
lost control, and the end of the world had come, my family
lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the
Allies destroyed my factories."

We are told again and again by 'experts' and
'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace,
and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in
peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it
is entirely irrelevant.

It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and
meant to somehow diminish the spectra of fanatics rampaging
across the globe in the name of Islam.

The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in
history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics
who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the
fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal
groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the
entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who
bomb, behead, murder or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who
take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who
zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and
homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to
kill and to become suicide bombers.

The hard quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority,
the 'silent majority', is cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted
to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible
for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful
majority were irrelevant.

China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese
Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was
not a war mongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and
slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of
killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million
Chinese civilians, most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

And who can forget Rwanda , which collapsed into butchery.
Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were
'peace loving'?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet
for all our powers of reason we often miss the most basic
and uncomplicated of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been
made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will
become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my
friend from Germany , they will awaken one day and find that
the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians,
Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis,
Nigerians, Algerians and many others have died because the
peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.

As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to
the only group that counts: the fanatics who threaten our
way of life.

Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and
just deletes this email without sending it on is
contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to
expand. So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on
and on! Let us hope that thousands, world wide, read this
and think about it, and send it on before it's too
late.

The first thing the fanatics will do to the silent majority
is to disarm them.

Election Day 2010

In November of 2010 the entire House of Representatives will have to stand for re-election; all 435 of them. One third of the Senate, a total of 33 of them, will also stand for re-election. Vote every incumbent t out. And I mean every one of them. No matter their Party affiliation. Let's start all over in the House of Representatives with 435 people who have absolutely no experience in running that body, with no political favors owed to anyone but their own constituents. Let's make them understand that they work for us. They are answerable to us and they simply have to run that body with some common sense.

Two years later, in 2012, vote the next third of the incumbents in the Senate out. You'll know who they are because their names will be on the ballot and, in most cases, will be shown as the Incumbent. We, the People, have got to take this Country back and we HAVE to do it peacefully. That's what the Framers of our Constitution envisioned.

Please, if you love this Country, send this (as I have done) to absolutely everyone
whose email address appears in your address book. This thing can permeate this Country in no time. Let's make it happen.

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are
willing to work and give to those who are not. - Thomas Jefferson

Paralyzed by Political Correctness

 

Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Ret)

 

This past Thursday 13 American Soldiers were killed and another 30 wounded at a horrific mass shooting at US Army installation, Ft Hood Texas. As I watched in horror and then anger I recalled my two years of final service in the Army as a Battalion Commander at Ft Hood, 2002-2004.

 

My wife and two daughters were stunned at the incident having lived on the post in family housing.

 

A military installation, whether it is Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, or Coast Guard, is supposed to be a safe sanctuary for our Warriors and their families. It is intended to provide a home whereby our "Band of Brothers and Sisters" can find solace and bond beyond just the foxhole but as family units.

 

A military installation is supposed to be a place where our Warriors train for war, to serve and protect our Nation.

 

On Thursday, 5 November 2009 Ft Hood became a part of the battlefield in the war against Islamic totalitarianism and state sponsored terrorism.

 

There may be those who feel threatened by my words and would even recommend they not be uttered. To those individuals I say step aside because now is not the time for cowardice. Our Country has become so paralyzed by political correctness that we have allowed a vile and determined enemy to breach what should be the safest place in America, an Army post.

 

We have become so politically correct that our media is more concerned about the stress of the shooter, Major Nidal Malik Hasan. The misplaced benevolence intending to portray him as a victim is despicable. The fact that there are some who have now created an entire new classification called; "pre-virtual vicarious Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)" is unconscionable.

 

This is not a "man caused disaster". It is what it is, an Islamic jihadist attack.

 

We have seen this before in 2003 when a SGT Hasan of the 101^st Airborne Division (Air Assault) threw hand grenades and opened fire into his Commanding Officer's tent in Kuwait. We have seen the foiled attempt of Albanian Muslims who sought to attack Ft Dix, NJ. Recently we saw a young convert to Islam named Carlos Bledsoe travel to Yemen, receive terrorist training, and return to gun down two US Soldiers at a Little Rock, Arkansas Army recruiting station. We thwarted another Islamic terrorist plot in North Carolina which had US Marine Corps Base, Quantico as a target.

 

What have we done with all these prevalent trends? Nothing.

 

What we see are recalcitrant leaders who are refusing to confront the issue, Islamic terrorist infiltration into America, and possibly further into our Armed Services. Instead we have a multiculturalism and diversity syndrome on steroids.

 

Major Hasan should have never been transferred to Ft Hood, matter of fact he should have been Chaptered from the Army. His previous statements, poor evaluation reports, and the fact that the FBI had him under investigation for jihadist website posting should have been proof positive.

 

However, what we have is a typical liberal approach to find a victim, not the 13 and 30 Soldiers and Civilian, but rather the poor shooter. A shooter who we are told was a great American, who loved the Army and serving his Nation and the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) stating that his actions had nothing to do with religious belief.

 

We know that Major Hasan deliberately planned this episode; he did give away his possessions. He stood atop a table in the confined space of the Soldier Readiness Center shouting "Allahu Akhbar", same chant as the 9-11 terrorists and those we fight against overseas in the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters of operation.

 

No one in leadership seems willing to sound the alarm for the American people; they are therefore complicit in any future attacks. Our Congress should suspend the insidious action to vote on a preposterous and unconstitutional healthcare bill and resolve the issue of "protecting the American people".

 

The recent incidents in Dearborn Michigan, Boston Massachusetts, Dallas Texas, and Chicago Illinois should bear witness to the fact that we have an Islamic terrorism issue in America. And don't have CAIR call me and try to issue a vanilla press statement; they are an illegitimate terrorist associated organization which should be disbanded.

 

We have Saudi Arabia funding close to 80% of the mosques in the United States, one right here in South Florida, Pompano Beach. Are we building churches and synagogues in Saudi Arabia? Are "Kaffirs" and "Infidels" allowed travel to Mecca?

 

So much for peaceful coexistence.

 

Saudi Arabia is sponsoring radical Imams who enter into our prisons and convert young men into a virulent Wahabbist ideology….one resulting in four individuals wanting to destroy synagogues in New York with plastic explosives. Thank God the explosives were dummy. They are sponsoring textbooks which present Islamic centric revisionist history in our schools.

 

We must recognize that there is an urgent need to separate the theo-political radical Islamic ideology out of our American society. We must begin to demand surveillance of suspected Imams and mosques that are spreading hate and preaching the overthrow of our Constitutional Republic……that speech is not protected under First Amendment, it is sedition and if done by an American treason.

 

There should not be some 30 Islamic terrorist training camps in America that has nothing to do with First Amendment, Freedom of Religion. The Saudis are not our friends and any American political figure who believes such is delusional.

 

When tolerance becomes a one way street it certainly leads to cultural suicide. We are on that street. Liberals cannot be trusted to defend our Republic, because their sympathies obviously lie with their perceived victim, Major Nidal Malik Hasan.

 

I make no apologies for these words, and anyone angered by them, please, go to Ft Hood and look into the eyes of the real victims. The tragedy at Ft Hood Texas did not have to happen. Consider now the feelings of those there and on every military installation in the world. Consider the feelings of the Warriors deployed into combat zones who now are concerned that their loved ones at home are in a combat zone.

 

Ft Hood suffered an Islamic jihadist attack, stop the denial, and realize a simple point.

 

The reality of your enemy must become your own.

 

Steadfast and Loyal,

Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Ret)
