Has New York City Forgotten?
Posted by: | CommentsI remember Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. There was righteous indignation in the heart of every American. We became a country molded by tragedy, bound by one cause, to defeat the enemy that caused the tragedy. Not a community in this country was untouched by World War 2. Yet, what was done had to be righted because the enemy we fought was determined to subjugate the world to their will. Hitler had taken over every part of Europe except, England. They almost defeated, Russia. Japan ruled most of China and Burma. Most of the Pacific Islands were under Japanese domination. Had we not entered the fight, the freedom of all people on Earth may have been lost.
You may ask what that has to do with the present? Well, the same principles that created WW2 are present in our struggle against radical Islam. To allow a mosque to be established at ground zero is repugnant to the families who lost loved ones on Sept 11, 2001. This was an attack by an enemy that has the agenda to control the entire world. To allow a mosque on that site would be like allowing the Japanese to park their fleet at Pearl Harbor and refuel there while at war with us. The radical Muslims will view this as a victory mosque and it will be used to fuel their purposes. The money that funds it will in all likelihood be imported from those who want to place us under bondage. I hope no self-respecting American agrees to lift a hammer to create this image of hate. If they build it there, then will they want to build a mosque close to the Pentagon?
This is not a New York problem only. The people who died that day were not just, New York City citizens. They were Americans. The men and women who have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan are from every part of the country. It is an insult to every one of us. I say, LET THEM BUILD THE MOSQUE IN NEW YORK WHEN THEY ALLOW US TO BUILD A CHURCH AND A SYNAGOGUE IN MECCA !!!!!!
The radical Muslims will view us as weak if this mosque is erected. President Obama has said, in relation to the construction of the mosque, that he will not interfere in local government. He had no qualms in condemning the police in Massachusetts without full knowledge. Mr. President, you are the moral leader of our country. You could have at least given an opinion that reflects the will of the people.
Examine the goal of the radical Muslims. It is the extermination of Jews and Christians. The root of it is the enmity between Muslims and Jews. Hitler, in 1936 brought the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem to Berlin to create a common purpose of exterminating the Jews of the world. The mufti’s name was, Haj Amin Al-Husseini, the uncle of, Yasser Arafat. The mufti trained Arafat. Their goal has been to eliminate both Jews and Christians.
The problem here, of course, is political correctness run amok. We have placed a high premium on tolerance to the exclusion of common sense. We are exhibiting the same poor judgment that allowed the Trojan horse of old to enter through the city gates, leading to the destruction of that once mighty city. America offers freedom of religion to all, but that very freedom is threatened by the supremacy of a religious tradition that exalts itself above all others, forcibly submitting entire populations to servitude. If you do not believe me, take a close look at the nations of Europe, whose western culture and civilizations have been undermined in recent years by a new Islamic invasion. You see, unlike Christianity, which expands its reach primarily through evangelization, Islam relies on the crushing weight of sheer numbers to seize control of a population. So long as it remains an insignificant minority, it strives to co-exist. When it becomes a significant minority, it demands special rights. When, at last, it becomes a majority, it imposes and transposes itself on the culture, and freedoms vanish. And if anyone ever again attempts to free an Islamic land from such harsh rule, jihad is declared, and all challengers become implacable foes until the situation is resolved in Islam’s favor. Just ask Israel about that.
To allow the mosque at ground zero is, to the radicals, an act of arrogance. And they are exploiting this opportunity to explore our cowardice, displaying our weakness and lack of will to resist. If America is to survive this insidious attack on it’s culture and traditions, we must act now. Every city in America has zoning laws, made and enforced by those whose job it is to preserve the history of a community, and serve the interests of its citizens. The 9-1-1- Mosque is an affront on both counts, and it is just another salvo fired in the war on western values.
President Obama Disrespects Fallen Soldiers and Vacations in Chicago Instead (Updated)
Posted by: | CommentsMemorial Day is the day set aside to honor our fallen soldiers and normally the Commander In Chief aka The President of the United States traditionally marks this solemn occasion by leading the ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery and lays the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. But not this year.
President Obama instead will be heading home to Illinois for vacation with his family, sending instead VP Biden to honor the fallen who gave it all defending our country.
The news of Obama feeling vacation with his family being more important than fulfilling his duty as Commander in Chief hit every veteran, every active service member, every family who lost a loved one in the course of fighting for freedom like a punch to the heart.
Arlington National Cemetary and the Tomb of the Unknowns
In 1921, the United States , following France and England, laid to rest the remains of a World War I American soldier — his name “known but to God” — on a Virginia hillside overlooking the city of Washington DC and the Potomac River. This site became known as the “Tomb of the Unknown Soldier,” and today is called the Read More→
Why Do Liberals Take Credit on Phantom Events? Enter Harry Reid
Posted by: | CommentsHarry Reid never fails to deliver controversy: “Negro Dialect?”: Harry Reid’s Time Warp.
Just when you didn’t think Harry Reid didn’t have any more gaffes to give, he offers up an essay and statements in his normal way of looking down on the Black Citizens:
Reid Statement On Black History Month
February 1, 2010
Washington, D.C. – Nevada Senator Harry Reid made the following statement in recognition of Black History Month:
“Nevada’s story cannot be told without remembering the many African-Americans that sought to make our state a place where all people are treated equal.
“I remember when Nevada was called the ‘Mississippi of the West.’ Restaurants would not serve African-Americans and movie theaters had separate sections. Sammy Davis Jr. and Nat King Cole could perform in Las Vegas, but could not stay in the hotel.
“Leaders like Donald Clark, J. David Hoggard Sr., Dr. James B. McMillian, Woodrow Wilson, Lubertha Johnson, Dr. Charles I. West and Dr. William “Bob” Bailey and Sarann Knight Preddy and many others persevered through ignorance and discrimination to integrate the gaming industry and promote minority-owned business in our state.
Harry Reid Op Ed: Black history is American history – Partial text seen below
Sen. Harry Reid: Black history is American history
“Black History Month is a great opportunity to reflect on the contributions of African-Americans to help make America the beacon of hope that it is. But while the accomplishments of African-Americans may be amplified during this one month, we feel the impact in our everyday lives.
Whether visiting our relatives in the hospital after a successful blood transfusion, waiting in traffic at a stoplight or watching our president speak from the Rose Garden, the contributions of black Americans are ingrained in our nation’s DNA.
The progress that has been made, just in the time that I have been in public service, to ensure diversity, equality and social justice in our nation is a testament to America’s greatness. I worked hard during my time in local politics in Nevada to integrate the Las Vegas strip and the gaming industry. I backed affirmative action in federal contracting and sharply criticized the Supreme Court when they turned Brown v. Board on its head and ruled against cities’ efforts to diversify their schools. On Capitol Hill, I have done my best to lead by example. My office partners with Howard University for an internship program every semester that encourages young people to get interested in public service. I have created an initiative to improve staff diversity of the United States Senate. These commitments that I’ve made are more than just a laundry list of what I’ve done – they reflect who I am and what I believe in.

A Form Letter Response from Senator Tom Harkin
Posted by: | Comments
Senator Harkin, Let's put on the brakes and stop the internal destruction of these United States of America!
Here is the most recent form letter I received from Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) in response to a number of faxes I’ve sent him.
Pay careful attention to the twisting of information in an attempt to support his and President Obama’s agendas. It is worth noting that my responses from Republicans have been more detailed and have real content with factual details instead of containing agenda driven political spin.
Dear Friend:
I appreciate you taking the time to express your interest in health care reform. I am pleased to report that on December 24, 2009, I voted for, and the Senate passed, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), which will lower costs, guarantee affordable coverage for all Americans, improve the quality of care, and reduce our federal budget deficit.
We can no longer settle for the status quo in our health system. Our current health care system leaves nearly 50 million Americans without insurance, including nearly 300,000 in Iowa. People can be denied coverage because of preexisting conditions, and can be dropped from their health insurance if they get a serious illness. They can be charged much higher rates if they are women, are older, or are sick, and can be cut from insurance entirely once they reach an annual or lifetime cap on payouts. Even those who have insurance can find that, due to coverage limitations or sky-high deductibles, it is woefully inadequate for their medical needs. A recent study of bankruptcy filings found that 62 percent of all bankruptcies were related to medical debt, and nearly 80 percent of those people actually had health insurance.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act contains critical reforms designed to overhaul our broken health care system. Among its immediate benefits, the bill prohibits insurers from imposing arbitrary and excessive limits on the benefits that they will pay out; bans insurance companies from canceling your insurance policy if you get sick; requires insurance companies to cover prevention and wellness services, with no co-pays or deductibles; requires insurance companies to permit children to stay on family policies until age 26; provides small businesses with tax credits of up to 35 percent of premiums, to help reduce the cost of providing health insurance to their employees; creates a re-insurance program for early retirees (before age 65), to help ensure they don’t lose health coverage before they are Medicare eligible; reduces the size of the “donut hole” in the Medicare drug benefit, and requires insurance companies to provide rebates to their customers if their administrative costs are too high.
When the bill is fully effective, the PPACA will guarantee a choice of quality, affordable coverage for all Americans. The bill will create new health insurance exchanges where people without access to affordable coverage will be able to easily shop and choose from a menu of quality health plans, much in the way members of Congress are able to do today. Tax credits and reductions in cost-sharing will further reduce the premiums and out-of-pocket costs that lower-income and middle-class Americans will have to pay. And, insurance companies will be barred from denying coverage, or charging higher premiums, because of a pre-existing conditions or gender.
Finally, of great importance to me, this legislation also places prevention and public health at the heart of our health reform efforts. As I have often said, currently in the U.S., we don’t have a health care system, we have a sick care system. If you’re sick, you get care. But we spend peanuts on prevention. The system and all of the incentives are focused on pills, surgery, hospitalization, and disability. This bill will give Americans access to a 21st century health care system – one that is focused on preventing disease, and helping us to live healthy, active, productive lives.
Among other things, the bill creates a Federal-level Prevention and Public Health Council, which will improve coordination among federal agencies in incorporating wellness into national policy, and will develop a national prevention and public health strategy. The bill includes a strong Prevention and Public Health Investment Fund, which will provide for expanded and sustained national investments in prevention and public health programs in communities across America. Communities will tailor programs to meet health challenges unique to their area. They can get creative; find out what works; and make a big difference.
At the clinical level, the bill will require reimbursement for proven, cost-effective preventive services such as smoking cessation, mental health screenings, cancer screenings, as well as obesity screening and counseling programs. And for essential screenings and annual physicals, our bill will eliminate the co-pays and deductibles that currently discourage many people from doing the right things to stay healthy.
From the beginning of this debate, my colleagues in the majority party and I have been committed to passing legislation that is fully paid for and does not add to the federal budget deficit. I am pleased to report that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that PPACA will actually reduce the federal budget deficit by $132 billion over the next ten years, and by $1.3 trillion in the ten years after that.
Currently, the Affordable Health Care for America Act and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which were passed respectively by the House and the Senate, are being melded together. Please be assured that as I continue my work on health reform, I will keep your views in mind.
To learn more about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, you can visit the Senate Democratic Policy Committee’s Website at http://dpc.senate.gov/dpcdoc-sen_health_care_bill.cfm. To view the Affordable Health Care for America Act, please visit the House Committee on Energy and Commerce’s Website at http://energycommerce.house.gov/. In addition, the White House has created a center where individuals can go to get the facts on the current reform effort. I encourage you to visit this information page, which can be found at http://www.whitehouse.gov/realitycheck/.
Sincerely,
Tom Harkin

Or he could swing into a new version of Health Care due to “Cancer threat” from same event!
As FOX news reports: Cataclysm That Killed Dinos Still Taking Lives Today. Yet this doesn’t offset another part of the world, where Egyptian mummies have been found to have had cancer in their lifetime. Well I guess that negates another effort to unhinge the world population. It’s been here long before mankind.
You just have to be one step ahead of the Liberal dribble.

The Racially driven Double Standards of the Democratic Party
Posted by: | CommentsSenator John Cornyn and National Committee Chairman Michael Steele call on Harry Reid to step down after he made racially slanted comments towards then-candidate Barack Obama in 2008 “light skinned” with “no Negro dialect” unless he wants one.
There have been many instances of double standards being applied by the Democratic party, and this is just the latest to be added to a long list. Many of Reid’s friends, Reed, Feinstein, and Lieberman, have come out to publicly accept his apology for his error in judgement.
Cornyn said in a written statement,
“In 2002, Democrats expressed outrage at Senator Lott and called on him to step down as leader. That same standard should be applied to Senator Reid and his embarrassing and racially insensitive statements; statements, I would add, that Senator Reid still has yet to clarify.”
You may also recall talk show host, Don Imus, having made remarks that had no racially driven motives behind them. And yet he was fired because of outrage brought on by the self appointed black leaders. Why haven’t these black leaders held true to the standards they have put in place, and called for Harry Reid to step down? Maybe it’s not only the Democratic party that carry’s double standards.
