“Allah Akbar” again

May 22, 2013

Depravity in London

Despite being told there is no war on  terror, once again, here is proof positive that such madness exists.

Two Islamic fanatics wielding meat cleavers butchered an off-duty  British soldier, taking their war on the West to a new level of horror. The men were arrested after savagely stabbing and attempting to behead their victim who they executed at the midday scene, witnessed by dozens of passers-by. Throughout the frenzied attack they shouted ‘Allah Akbar’ — Arabic for ‘God is great’ — demanding horrified witnesses film them as they issued threats.

‘We swear by Almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you. The only reasons we have done this is because Muslims are dying every day. You people will never be safe. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’

“This British soldier is an eye for an eye a tooth for tooth,” they declared. We apologize that women had to see this today, but in our lands our women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your government. They don’t care about you. You think David Cameron is going to get caught in the street when we start busting our guns? You think your politicians are going to die? No, it’s going to be the average guy like you – and your children.”

This unspeakable horror, including photos and video is reported by the UK’s Daily Mail.

‘Allah Akbar,” the same praise of Allah accompanying depraved acts of murder was uttered by the mother of the two Boston bombers.  Nidal Malik Hasan, the jihadist U.S. Army major and psychiatrist, who did not want to be deployed to fight Muslims, shouted “Allah Akbar” before killing 13 people and injuring 32 others at Fort Hood in November 2009. Although FBI and congressional investigations found the shootings to be an act of terrorism, the Obama administration categorized the attack as “workplace violence.” He continues to draw $278000 in salary while awaiting trial.

Janet Napolitano preferred to think that “Right-wing extremists” posed the greatest national security threats.   In January 2008, immediately after his first election, Obama’s administration sanitized our language, putting words such as “Islamist” and “jihadist” off limits. “Global War on Terror” was replaced by the phrase “Global Struggle for Security and Progress.” This was accomplished through the edition of “Terminology to Define Terrorists,” a nine-page, “Official Use Only” memo written in conjunction with Muslim advisers. Associated Press has joined in word policing.

Political correctness will be our undoing, but the left prefers to silence truth.


US Rep. Steve King exposes ‘Gang of 8′ deceivers

May 15, 2013

844 page amnesty bill: “Being stampeded without enough scrutiny”

Plain spoken conservative Congressman Steve King is, without a doubt, the man many Arizonans would eagerly take in trade for our two double-talking, Democrat-colluding ‘Gang of 8‘ U.S. Senators, John McCain and Jeff Flake.

No waffler, the Iowa Republican even posts his voting record on his website for all to see.

On the issue of “immigration” McCain’s site has a pull-down linking to Homeland Security, with no actual position — but crammed with staffer-written press releases dating back to 1999.  Jeff Flake evasively has no issues page at all, though following his McMentor, has press releases. 

No big surprise, neither of these two have their votes recorded. Here’s the deception you won’t read on Flake’s sanitized site. And not a single word about the $6.3 trillion price tag of implementing this mammoth and deliberate destruction of the Republican Party, known innocuously as S 744 

Another honorable statesman, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) says illegals now in the United States should not be allowed to get green cards or become citizens until the dangerous visa entry-exit system is fixed. He has also warned that the bill gives Department of Homeland Security chieftain Janet Napolitano, “virtually unlimited discretion to waiver” prohibitions on obtaining legal status, such as criminal activity or previous deportation. His amendment mandating controls failed by a vote of 6 to 12.  Just two Republican senators — Jeff Flake and Lindsey Graham– both under the mesmerizing spell of John McCain, joined the 10 Democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee to defeat the proposal.

“The big question I would pose out there is, why?” U.S. Rep Steve King asked. “Why is that 844-page bill, why is it good for America and Americans? I can’t get that answer on why it’s good for us,” he said.

Take the time to read King’s entire immigration policy statement.

Even the leftist, amnesty-supporting  Periódico de la República de Arizona (Arizona Republic) admits in a front page report today that the “Feds lack key data to how to stem illegal crossings.”

NewsBusters busts the political maneuvering behind embassy terrorist attack and cover-up

Foreign policy consultant and media commentator Richard Grenell appeared on Saturday’s Fox News Watch with host Jon Scott and exposed the familial relationships that thread from the highest ranking network honchos all the way to the White House.

Grenell stated, “CBS News President David Rhodes and ABC News President Ben Sherwood, both of them have siblings that not only work at the White House, that not only work for President Obama, but they work at the NSC (National Security Council) on foreign policy issues directly related to Benghazi.”

Weekend reading,viewing guaranteed to make you smarter

May 5, 2013

Column and Sunday morning show worth your attention

M. Zuhdi Jasser, M.D. is the Founder and President of the Phoenix-based American Islamic Forum for Democracy. The Valley physician, a devout Muslim, is leading the fight to shake the hold that the terror-sponsoring Muslim Brotherhood and their network of American Islamist organizations and mosques seek to exert on organized Islam in America.

His “My Turn” commentary in the daily, “Muslims need to own how they’re portrayed,” [the title has been changed in the online version] provides excellent insight — from a unique perspective — into the root causes of “Islamic extremism — political Islam.”

His is a voice worthy of note. A former Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy, Jasser is an internationally recognized expert on the issues encompassing  political Islam and American Islamist organizations.

Dr. Jasser regularly briefs members of Congress on the threat of political Islam and has been called to testify on the issue of Muslim radicalization in the United States. He has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, The Washington Times, The New York Post, The Dallas Morning News, CNN, CBS, Fox News Channel, MSNBC and BBC in addition to nationally syndicated radio programs.

Earlier this morning, Dr. Jasser participated in a panel discussion titled “The roots of radicalization,” on CNN’s State of the Union with Candy Crowley. The specific focus was domestic radicalization and how to address it. Click to watch the video here.


Polls: Americans fear gov’t over terrorism

April 29, 2013

Recent polling tells the grim story of the underlying fear many Americans express about our government. For the first time since September 11, 2001, Americans are more fearful their government will abuse constitutional liberties than fail to keep its citizens safe.

Even in the wake of the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings, in which a pair of radical Islamic jihadist brothers are accused of planting explosives that took the lives of 3 and wounded over 200 — two distinct polls indicate Americans are unwilling to give up any further freedoms in exchange for promises of increased “security.”

This Fox News poll of a random sample of 619 registered voters the day after the Boston bombings found interviewees responded very differently than following 9/11 in which nearly 3000 lost their lives.  For the first time since a similar question was asked in May 2001, more Americans answered “no” to the question: “Would you be willing to give up some of your personal freedom in order to reduce the threat of terrorism?”

Of those surveyed on April 16, 2013, 45% answered “no” to the question, compared to 43% answering “yes.” In May 2001, before 9/11, 40 percent answered “no” while 33% answered “yes.”

Following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, there was a dramatic reversal as 71% of Americans agreed to sacrifice personal freedom to reduce the threat of terrorism. Subsequent polls asking the same question in 2002, 2005 and 2006 found Americans consistently willing to give up freedom in exchange for security. There was a marked decline from 71% following 9/11 to only 54% by May 2006.

Today it appears the sentiment expressed in Benjamin Franklin’s famous quote — “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety” — is more valued by Americans than it has been in over a dozen years.

This Washington Post survey, using a similar polling sample of 588 adults, conducted April 17 and 18 also discovered the change in attitude. “Which worries you more,” the Post asked, “that the government will not go far enough to investigate terrorism because of concerns about constitutional rights, or that it will go too far in compromising constitutional rights in order to investigate terrorism?”

The poll found 48% of respondents worry the government will go too far, compared to 41% who worry it won’t go far enough.

And similar to the Fox News poll, the Post found the worry to be a new development. Only 44% worried the government would go too far in January 2006 and only 27% expressed such concerns about governmental overreaches in January 2010.

The Fox News poll broke the responses down further by political affiliation:

A troubling 51% of Democrats responded they would forfeit personal freedom to reduce the threat of terror, compared to 36% who opposed the concept.

Forty-seven percent of Republicans opposed giving up freedoms, compared to only 43% in favor.

Independents were the most resistant, with only 29% willing to sacrifice freedom, while 58% opposed losing constitutional rights.


Immigration: Addressing the harsh realities

April 28, 2013

Bi-partisan acknowledgment that the nation’s legal immigration system is also in need of repair

Earlier this week, as the nation was still reeling, trying to absorb the grisly aftermath of the Boston marathon bombings, Ann Coulter wrote a cogent column titled: The  problem isn’t just illegal immigration, it’s legal immigration, too. Coulter’s fact-filled commentary is our “Weekend reading guaranteed to make you smarter” recommendation.

Bob Beckel, ubitquitous liberal commentator and co-host of ‘The Five,’ appeared to catch his co-hosts off guard as he echoed similar thoughts. Beckel advocated for the temporary ending of student visas for foreign Muslim students as a means of combating homegrown terror.


Obama’s Marxist redistribution plan is underway

April 25, 2013

Karl_Marx_Friedrich_Engels

The Washington Post runs a 5-page report on the efforts undertaken by food stamp recruiters to coax people into signing up for taxpayer financed benefits. Potential recipients are lured with free food, gift packages for themselves and even their pets, and told “you deserve it.” Some states host SNAP-themed bingo games, others distribute fliers that read: “Be a patriot. Bring your food stamp money home.” Still other states throw food stamp parties where new recipients sign up en masse at the gift giveaway tables. Recruiters, functioning as commission sales reps, actually have quotas to fill — at least 150 new people a month. It matters not that one Florida husband and wife, just completing  nine holes of golf — clubs still on their cart — showed up and were signed up.

To help enroll more seniors, the government has even published an outreach guide instructing on “blending compassion with sales techniques,” generating some — but not enough —  protests in Congress. The guide teaches recruiters how to “overcome the word ‘no,’” even suggesting answers for likely hesitations:

Welfare stigma: “You worked hard and the taxes you paid helped create SNAP.”  Obama_pointing

Embarrassment: “Everyone needs help now and then.”

Sense of failure: “Lots of people, young and old, are having financial difficulties.”

Today, nearly 50 million Americans now rely on what was previously known as food stamps, now going by the snappy acronym of SNAP for ‘Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.’ In Florida alone, enrollment has risen from 1.45 million people in 2008 to 3.35 million in 2012.

As the Obama regime furloughs FAA traffic controllers and cancels school childrens’ planned  trips to the White House under the politically machinated sequestration strategy, ask yourself why taxpayer’s dollars are paying recruiters to expand programs that are already costing more than the economy can bear?

It was disgusting to read that the Boston Marathon bombers — whose next target was to be New York’s Times Square — and their families received welfare benefits, among the one in six Americans currently on the dole. In Britain, most terrorists turn out to be welfare recipients. Being unemployed, they have time on their hands to become radicalized and plan acts of violence. One U.K. extremist Islamic imam, who praises terror attacks, urged his followers to think of welfare benefits as a form of the jizya tax non-believers are supposed to pay Muslims – or, as he put it, “a Jihad Seeker’s Allowance.”  Human Events reports here.

Redistribution has always been part of Obama’s Marxist mindset. Speaking at a conference at Loyola University in 1998, he admits, “I actually believe in redistribution.” Now as president, he is implementing that which was so near and dear to the hearts of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in their Communist Manifesto, as they advocated the incentive busting, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

American Thinker clearly defines what the phrase “redistribution of wealth” actually means to the future of America.


Remaining Boston bombing suspect caught

April 19, 2013

Religion of Peace update

Police have announced Boston Marathon murder suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, is in custody. His brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan, was killed in a furious attempt to escape police. During a long night of violence Thursday into Friday, the brothers killed MIT police officer Sean Collier, 26, severely wounded another lawman and hurled explosives at police in a car chase and gun battle, in which at least 200 rounds were fired, authorities said. WCVB News 5 video here.

The suspects were identified by law enforcement officials and family members as Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, ethnic Chechen brothers who had lived in Dagestan, which neighbors Chechnya in southern Russia. They had been in the U.S. for about a decade. They self identified as Islamic.

Read the complete my way report here.

This You Tube page provided by BuzzFeed, linked to Tamerlan Tsarnaev, is packed with videos about Islam and includes a playlist called “terrorists.”

Senate immigration hearings: Déjà vu on steroids

April 19, 2013

Speaking at the start of today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on granting amnesty to millions here in the U. S. illegally, Sen. Charles  Grassley (R-Iowa) noted that exactly 30 years ago — April, 19, 1983 — the same committee met to consider similar immigration legislation that claimed to bolster border security and reunite separated families.

“Now 30 years have passed, and we’re saying the same thing, facing the same problems,” Grassley said. “We’re proposing the same remedies and asking the American people to trust that we’ll get serious about enforcing our immigration laws.”

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) was also skeptical: “We have laws today that are utterly ignored, and I have no confidence that this administration, based on what we’ve seen, will ever enforce any law,” he said.

Grassley also criticized Democrats for “rushing to read and analyze” an 844-page bill.

The only thing that has changed is that in 1986, through the passage of the flawed Simpson-Mazzoli Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) signed by Ronald Reagan, amnesty was granted to 2.7 million illegals.  Today the number is at least ten times greater.

Then, as today, the efforts to legalize those who thumb their noses at our laws as they make demands and refuse to acclimate, was promoted by a “bi-partisan” team. Rep. Romano Mazzoli was a Kentucky Democrat who collaborated with Sen. Alan Simpson, a Wyoming Republican. They each chaired their respective immigration subcommittees in Congress.

Their effort was assisted by the recommendations of a so-called bipartisan Commission on Immigration Reform, chaired by Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, then President of Notre Dame University.

Today we have the notorious amnesty hustling “bi-partisan” Gang of 8, including Arizona’s two ostensibly Republican Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake, in cahoots with four Democrats and two other deceptive Rs. The Catholic Church is still actively involved as noted in this article by Accuracy in Media’s Cliff Kincaid: Bishops Lobby for ObamaCare and Amnesty for Illegals.

Sens. Grassley and Sessions are correct. But rather than the situation not changing, the illegals have become militants who desire to take over this country.

 Take the time to watch this:


$ Billions in loophole-filled amnesty scheme for invaders, families

April 16, 2013

More good people coming to do the work Americans refuse to do

In his revealing, must-read 2-page report, The Daily Caller’s Neil Munro details the “Many loopholes hidden in the immigration bill” being shepherded by Arizonans John McCain and Jeff Flake, doing Obama’s work in collusion with the Gang of 8 gangsters. McCain admits it’s “not that much different from what we tried to do in 2007.”

Munro’s exposé comes as the reality of the ongoing criminality of those who will be granted green cards that are precursors to legal status is showcased by yesterday’s arrest of a Mexican man attempting to smuggle 79 counterfeit credit cards into Arizona. Leonardo Daniel Robles Castro, 23, of Hermosillo, Sonora is in custody after border agents found the contraband while conducting a routine inspection of a tourist bus in Nogales, AZ.

Yep.  The criminal invader is a “tourist.”

The criminal/tourist will be referred to Janet Napolitano’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security. Look for Robles Castro to be sent home on our dime and reenter the United States in time to be granted amnesty by way of the new legislation being shepherded by Arizonan Sens.  McCain and Flake, both hard at work assisting Obama’s scheme to ensure expanded Democrat voter rolls while guaranteeing the demise of the Republican Party.

Give McCain and Flake a call. Ask them why we need to underwrite with billions of citizen taxpayer dollars, competition for scarce jobs and university admissions. Flake’s contact info is here. McCain’s is here. We pay their salaries.  They should be happy to hear from us.

And speaking of Homeland INsecurity chieftain Napolitano:  In the wake of the bloody carnage that devastated so many lives at the Boston Marathon, why hasn’t the Obama regime’s U.S. Department of Homeland Security — headed by Arizona’s former governor — seen fit to put up an alert on the National Terrorism Advisory System page? Americans visiting the site are advised “there are no current alerts” and “there are no expired alerts.”

Obviously, everything is swell.
