Sue Myrick's plan to fight terrorism

U.S. Representative Sue Myrick has a ten point plan for fighting against jihad in the U.S.
Among other things, her plan calls for investigating military chaplains who were endorsed by Abdurahman Alamoudi, a Muslim chaplain convicted of funding terrorism. And since a whistleblower reported that some Arabic translators in the FBI cheered the 9/11 attacks, Ms. Myrick thinks the process for selecting Arabic translators should be investigated.

Since some officials of CAIR have been convicted on terror charges, Ms. Myrick thinks the non-profit status of CAIR should be reconsidered. She wants to make it treason to publish materials that call for the death of Americans. She wants to “Restrict religious visas for imams who come from countries that don’t allow reciprocal visits by non-Muslim clergy. She wants to “block the sale of sensitive military munitions to Saudi Arabia.”

Sounds like a reasonable, common-sense plan to me. So why is Jibril Hough of the Islamic Center of Charlotte opposing it as a fear campaign and “McCartyhism?” Don’t moderate Muslims want to stop terrorism too? Or could it be that some of these so-called “moderate” Muslim organizations are really just foreign-funded front organizations that are not so moderate after all?

Hate crimes in Canada

Barack Obama supports hate crimes legislation. Those who think this is a good idea might want to consider where such legislation has led in Canada:

British Columbia now bans all words and images "likely to expose a person ... to hatred or contempt" because of race, religion, age, disability, sex, marital status or sexual orientation." This sounds like a libel law for groups, except that libel is a misstatement of fact that damages an individual reputation. In the United States, for a public figure to be libeled, the false statement has to be made maliciously or recklessly.

The Canadian idea of hate speech is less specific and more dangerous. Hate is like obscenity, about which Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart famously said, "I know it when I see it." The difference is that a ban on obscenity does not touch political
discourse, and a ban on hate does (Seattle Times).

Yeah, I know. America has the First Amendment so it could never happen here. I find it ironic that supporters of hate crimes bills who think it could never happen here are often the very ones who complained so bitterly about how the Bush Administration has supposedly trampled on our Constitutional protections over the last seven years. (Hat tip: Kevin).

China earthquake

Accoriding to the Associated Press, a huge, 7.8 earthquate struck central China today. It was felt as far away as Pakistan, Vietnam and Thailand. The death toll in one province alone is estimated to be 5,000 and counting.

Obama's judgment

Obama seems to be distancing himself from a lot of people these days: His own official blogger and hardcore Marxist, Sam Graham-Felsen; terrorist fundraiser, Hatem El-Hady; former domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers; convicted criminal, Tony Rezko; and of course his own pastor, Jeremiah Wright.

Now Obama is distancing himself from one of his own advisors who has been meeting with the Muslim terrorist organization Hamas!

Over against McCain's far more extensive foreign policy experience, Obama has argued that he has better judgment. But in light of the increasing number of shady characters with whom Obama has surrounded himself, I'm wondering, when can we start questioning Obama's judgment?

What did Obama know...

Barack Obama has been trying to distance himself from his pastor, Jeremiah Wright’s racist and anti-American views. After examining Wright’s newmagazine, the Trumpet, however, Stanley Kurtz asks, “What did Barack Obama know and when did he know it?” Excerpts from Kurtz' excellent article appear below but please read the entire article at the Weekly Standard.

I answer, Obama knew everything, and he's known it for ages…A careful
reading of nearly a year's worth of Trumpet Newsmagazine, Wright's glossy national "lifestyle magazine for the socially conscious," makes it next to impossible to conclude otherwise.

Glance through even a single issue of Trumpet, and Wright's radical politics are everywhere--in the pictures, the headlines, the highlighted quotations, and above all in the articles themselves.

It seems inconceivable that, in 20 years, Obama would never have picked up a copy of Trumpet. In fact, Obama himself graced the cover at least once…

Trumpet provides a rounded picture of Wright's views, and what it shows unmistakably is that the now-infamous YouTube snippets from Wright's sermons are authentic reflections of his core political and theological beliefs.

…others might argue that "in context," Wright's prophetic denunciations actually prove his love of country. Unfortunately, neither Wright nor any of the other regular Trumpet columnists displays a trace of this "I'm denouncing you because I love you" stance. On the contrary, the pages of Trumpet resonate with enraged criticism of the United States. Indeed, they feature explicit repudiations of even the most basic
expressions of American patriotism…

Again and again, Wright makes the point that America's criminality and racism are not aberrations but of the essence of the nation, that they are every bit as alive today as during the slave era, and that America is therefore no better than the worst international offenders:

There can be no mistaking it. What did Barack Obama know and when did he know it? Everything. Always.

That's just not fair!

The lead article in the Spring 2008 issue of the Cato’s Letter—a libertarian newsletter—is by R. J. O’rourke, a political satirist. Below are a few quotes from his article:

“Under the Democrats, the government will negotiate with drug companies for Medicare drug prices. If the government shows the same hard-headed, tight-fisted bargaining savvy negotiating drug prices that it shows negotiating defense contracts, Preparation H will cost $400.”

It’s going to be hard to do a worse job running America than the Republicans have, but if anybody can do it, it’s the Democrats.

And of course there is a cheaper way to make health care less expensive…Just make it worse. And I think Hillary can do that. Because government controlled health care is going to drive the best people out of business. Who wants to spend years studying to be a doctor, just to become a government bureaucratic hack?

If we’re not careful, we’re going to wind up with a health care system like they’ve got in Canada, a nation that is broke from health care spending, even though Canada is a sparsely populated country with a shortage of gunshot wounds, crack addicts, and huge tort judgments.

It is the avowed purpose of politics to bring the policies of our nation down to a level where they are good for everybody. No matter how foolish, irresponsible, selfish, grasping, or vile everyone may be, politics seeks fairness for them all. I do not. I am here to speak in favor of unfairness. I have a 10 year old at home, and she is always saying, “That’s not fair.” When she says that, I say, “Honey, you’re cute; that’s not fair. You’re family is pretty well off; that’s not fair. You were born in America; that’s not fair. Honey, you had better pray to God that things don’t start getting fair for you.”

If we all got what was fair--what we really deserve--we’d be begging God for mercy.

Judges and social justice

Interviewing Rudolf Giuliani, Megyn Kelly played a quote from Barack Obama in which Obama referred to himself saying, “Barack Obama has always believed that our court should stand up for social and economic justice, and what’s truly elitist is to appoint judges who will protect the powerful and leave ordinary Americans to fend for themselves.”

Giuliani laughed out loud at the quote. When Kelly asked why, Giuliani said, “Well, the laughter because that is not what a judge in the American legal system is supposed to do. That is not a really responsible definition of a judge. The judge is supposed to interpret the law. And the law is written by other people. It’s written by members of the Congress. It’s written by framers of the Constitution. It’s written by the people when they amend the Constitution.”

Giuliani is absolutely right and it doesn’t take a law degree from Harvard to see that Barack Obama’s view of the judiciary stabs at the very heart of our democracy.

Our judges are supposed to interpret and apply the laws that were voted on and passed by the representatives of the people. If judges can arbitrarily override the views of the people in the name of the judge’s own politically correct sense of what “social and economic justice” means to them personally, what we then have is a group of elitist high priests who sit in judgment on the will of the people, and our democracy becomes a sham.

Make no mistake about it. A vote for Obama and his activist view of the judiciary is a vote to undermine the very foundation of our democracy. Giuliani explains it quite well. Please watch the interview on Hot Air.

100,000 Myanmar deaths?

CNN is now reporting that Myanmar deaths may exceed 100,000 (hat tip: Kevin).

The CNN article says that World Vision is already on the ground in Myanmar. I'm sure they would appreciate donations. Samaritan's Purse and Gospel for Asia are also involved in the relief efforts.

Myanmar disaster

As the death toll rises to 22,000, Samaritan's Purse is responding to the disaster. To read more or to donate, click on Samaritan's Purse.

"I want to rip his eyes out"

Referring to Bill Clinton, she said, "I want to rip his eyes out."

No, it wasn't Hillary, it was Michelle Obama. Michelle is a lovely lady but she seems to have trouble keeping her foot out of her mouth. On the other hand, maybe Barack could appoint her as ambassador to the U.N. We need someone there who won't pull any punches. I'd love to hear her tell Mahmoud Ahmadinejad she wants to "rip his eyes out."

Myanmar death toll up to 10,000!

The death toll for the devestating cyclone in Myanmar is now up to 10,000! A Bible College located in the capital city is providing shelter and aid for residents.

If you'd like to donate to the relief efforts, you can send your money to Gospel for Asia, which runs the Bible College. There is more information about the cyclone and a donate button at the bottom of the Gospel for Asia link above.

(Gospel of Asia is a good organization and is a member of ECFA, which audits member organizations to ensure financial accountability).

UPDATE: MSNBC is now reporting that there are an estimated 22,000 dead and over one million homeless.

Plants' rights

According to the Weekly Standard, "You just knew it was coming: At the request of the Swiss government, an ethics panel has weighed in on the "dignity" of plants and opined that the arbitrary killing of flora is morally wrong. This is no hoax. The concept of what could be called "plant rights" is being seriously debated."

But who are they to say that just the arbitrary killing of plans is wrong? Maybe the killing of plants for any reason is wrong! Maybe these plants-rights advocates should set the example and refuse to eat any plant or animal products for two or three months!

Some people, as my dad used to say, "don't have the brains they were born with." Or, I believe it was G.K. Chesterton who once said something like, "When people stop believing in God, they won't believe in nothing, they'll believe in anything."

Obama and Teamsters

According to the Wall Street Journal, "Sen. Barack Obama won the endorsement of the Teamsters earlier this year after privately telling the union he supported ending the strict federal oversight imposed to root out corruption, according to officials from the union and the Obama campaign."

According to the FBI,

• "Three major U.S. Senate investigations have documented La Cosa Nostra’s involvement in labor racketeering. One of these, the McClellan Committee, in the late-1950s, found systemic racketeering in both the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees International Union."
• In 1986, the President’s Council on Organized Crime reported that five major unions—including the Teamsters and the Laborers International Union of North America—were dominated by organized crime.
• In the early 1980s, former Gambino Family Boss Paul Castellano was overheard saying, “Our job is to run the unions.”

Does Barack Obama seriously think that if the government ends its oversight, organized crime will no longer be interested in Teamsters? Or is he just willing to promise anything to get more votes?

Breaking: Myanmar, estimated 4,000 dead

Breaking news: According to USA Today / Associated Press, "Almost 4,000 people were killed and nearly 3,000 others are unaccounted for after a devastating cyclone in Myanmar, a state radio station said Monday."

100 years in Iraq?

Chris Wallace does a good job showing how blatantly dishonest Howard Dean and the DNC are in their smear ads against John McCain--especially the ad about being in Iraq for 100 years.

Unlike many Americans, I have no problem with attack ads, but at least have the integrity (on both sides) to be honest about your attacks! By all means, feel free to disagree with John McCain. But disagree with what he actually says--not some lies fabricated by airing clips in which his statements have been cut off in mid-sentence! (see the video on Hot Air).

Qur'an 24:1-20

Shutting down free speech at Smith College

In response to the lesbian activists who shut down a speech at Smith College, Peter LaBarbera from Americans for Truth writes:

Traditionalists and people of faith should take great courage from the homosexual side’s totalitarian tendencies. This is no “civil rights” movement but a sexual special interest lobby espousing — with all the assurance of a fundamentalist — doctrines that run counter to natural law, healthy living, and Judeo-Christian history. Which is another way of saying that they are at war with truth.

Communists and fascists censor advocates of democratic freedom and independent religion. Darwinists expel critics of evolution from the academy. Officially pro-homosexual governments in Britain, Canada and other countries persecute Christians who voice their Biblical belief that homosexuality is a changeable sin. And radical homosexualists here in the USA trample on the rights of those who dare question the tenets of their activist movement, which is all of 100-plus years old (German “sexologist” Magnus Hirschfeld).

Take heart: people confident in their ideas don’t storm opponents’ speeches. Rather, they listen intently to them, and then present another viewpoint to compete in the marketplace of ideas. In the long run, homosexualists can’t compete with truth, and they seem to know it.

EV-71 outbreak in China

If you decide to go to the Olympics in China you may want to pay extra attention to your personal hygene. According to Science Daily, China is experiencing an outbreat of enterovirus 71 (hand, foot and mouth disease). 1,884 cases have been reported (or acknowledged by the Chinese government) and 20 people have died so far. There is no vaccine for this so if you're going to China, make sure you wash your hands a lot.

Muslim hospitals

I wonder if anyone can help me with some information. Can anyone think of any cases in which Muslims established hospitals or clinics in non-Muslim countries specifically for the purpose of helping non-Muslims in the name of Islam? I could be wrong, but I don’t think there is—or if there is, my guess is that such cases would be very, very limited.

While many Muslims are known for their hospitality, throughout history Islam as a religion was spread at the point of the sword. Christians and Jews—people of the book— were viewed as people to be subjugated and humiliated, and almost everyone else was either forced to convert to Islam or die. In such a religious system, you don’t go into all the world to build hospitals and clinics, or to educate the “infidels.” You go to bring them into subjection to Allah, peacefully if possible, forcefully if necessary.

For hundreds and hundreds of years Christians have literally risked life and limb to go into all the world, not only to tell the good news about Jesus, but to build hospitals, clinics, orphanages, schools, and homeless shelters for non-Christians. I don’t think any other religion can make such a claim.

People who assume that all religions are basically the same are very, very misinformed.

Gays suppressing free speech

Another example of radical gays suppressing free speech.

American Psychiatric Association panel cancelled

According to the Washington Times, the American Psychiatric Association had scheduled a panel discussion on homosexuality. The panel was assembled by "David Scasta, a former APA president and a gay psychiatrist."

When gay activists, however, discovered that Dr. Scasta had included two Evangelicals on the panel, the gaycitynews and The Blade came out with articles condemning the program and soon the program was cancelled under the pressure from gays.

What are they afraid of? Is their position so intellectually weak that they can't even tolerate a balanced discussion of the issues? This is just one more case in which the fascist nature of some radical gay-rights organizations is exposed for what it is. They don't want tolerance. They don't want discussion. Its their way or no way.

Remarkable sportsmanship!

You've got to see this. It must be the greatest example of sportsmanship of all time.

Obama and Israel

In the American Thinker:

Pakistan and North Korea have engaged in a nuclear bazaar to sell nuclear technology; Iran has spent billions to develop a nuclear weapons arsenal; Syria
is cooperating with North Korea (and probably Iran) on weapons of mass destruction . They all have monetary or geopolitical reasons to do so. Iran wants to be a hegemonic power in the region-and also may very well have theological "reasons" for developing nuclear weapons. Saddam Hussein was a megalomaniac who wanted nuclear arms to expand his power.

Yet somehow, Cirincione blames Israel for nuclear proliferation and seemingly wants to pressure Israel to shut down its nuclear program and strip itself of any nuclear weapons it may or may not have in its inventory. This man was chosen by Barack Obama to be one of his top advisers in the area of nuclear proliferation. He is also another in a disconcertingly long line of Obama advisers, who seemingly have an anti-Israel bias and who would be very willing to apply American pressure on our tiny ally to disarm itself in the face of its mortal enemies. [emphasis added]

Hmm, no wonder Hamas political adviser Ahmed Yousef said, “Actually, we like Mr. Obama. We hope he will [win] the election…”

Freedom of speech attacked on campus

Yesterday I received a newsletter entitled “Silencing Faith on Campus” which said:

Five years ago, Emily Brooker enrolled at Missouri State University (MSU) to study social work. For her, college was a time of spiritual growth and testing that climaxed during her last semester, when her professors ordered Emily’s class to become “lobbyists” for homosexual behavior by writing letters to the Missouri legislature, encouraging lawmakers to recognize adoption by same-sex couples. Emily respectfully asked for an alternative assignment, explaining to her professor that this one ran counter to her deep religious beliefs. The request was not well received. Her professor filed a ‘level 3’ grievance against Emily—the stiffest charge a faculty member can make against a student.”

“To answer the grievance, Emily was required to appear alone—no parents, no lawyer—before a department ‘ethics’ committee.”

The committee apparently had the authority to not only fail her in the class, but to keep her from graduating. Fortunately, the Alliance Defense Fund stepped and put a stop to it.

The newsletter also listed other examples of blatant anti-Christian attacks in our publically funded universities: “At Savannah State, members of a Christian club were put on suspension for washing each other’s feet during a worship service—school officials called that ‘hazing’ and harassment.” [Isn’t it interesting how some state colleges are using tax payer money to fund Muslim footwashing facilities, but when Christians do it, its is “hazing.”]

“At the University of Wisconsin—Superior, administrators denied InterVarsity Christian Felloswhip…access to campus facilities after accusing the members of violating the school ‘anti-discrimination’ policy by not allowing non-Christians to serve in leadership positions.” [Hmmm, I wonder if the brilliant administrators at the U. of Wisconsin required Muslim groups to have Christian leaders or for Atheist groups to have Muslim leaders, or for Democratic groups to have Republican leaders! How stupid—or hateful—can some people get?]

“At the University of Wisconsin—Eau Claire, university officials forbade RAs…to lead a Bible study—even with just one other person—in their own dorm room. (Beer parties were permitted.)”

The newsletter said that “In at least 230 public universities across the country, institutional policies are in effect that can sharply curtail Christian activity and limit the spread of the Gospel."

It is amazing that university officials, who undoubtedly think of themselves as tolerant and liberal-minded, can be so intolerant, hateful, and un-liberal. It is also amazing that we have such full-blown assault on freedom of speech and freedom of religion going on in state-run institutions, and yet the major media outlets are totally asleep at the switch.

Fortunately, Alliance Defense Fund is helping to fight such university fascism. If you give to charity, the Alliance Defense Fund is a worthy organization.

PETA: People executing tame animals

According to Newsweek:

"...what many animal lovers don't realize is that PETA...has practiced euthanasia for years. Since 1998 PETA has killed more than 17,000 animals, nearly 85 percent of all those it has rescued."

If PETA is going to kill them anyway, why not give them to research facilities that will contract to treat them humanely? That way at least the lives of these animals won't be wasted and people may benefit from the research.

War with Iran

Do you support Jeremiah Wright?

Below are some excerpts from an excellent article published in the Washington Post by Dana Milbank:

Speaking before an audience that included Marion Barry, Cornel West, Malik Zulu Shabazz of the New Black Panther Party and Nation of Islam official Jamil Muhammad, Wright praised Louis Farrakhan, defended the view that Zionism
is racism, accused the United States of terrorism, repeated his view that the
government created the AIDS virus to cause the genocide of racial minorities,
stood by other past remarks ("God damn America") and held himself out as a
spokesman for the black church in America.

Wright suggested that Obama was insincere in distancing himself from his pastor. "He didn't distance himself," Wright announced. "He had to distance himself, because he's a politician, from what the media was saying I had said, which was anti-American."

Explaining further, Wright said friends had written to him and said, "We both know that if Senator Obama did not say what he said, he would never get elected." The minister continued: "Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability, based on sound bites, based on polls."

That significantly complicates Obama's job as he contemplates how to extinguish Wright's latest incendiary device. Now, he needs to do more than express disagreement with his former pastor's view; he needs to refute his former pastor's suggestion that Obama privately agrees with him.

Jeremiah Wright has been Obama's pastor for 20 years. Presumably that means Wright knows Obama reasonably well. So if Wright says that Obama is just distancing himself from Wright and Wright's beliefs solely for the purpose of political expediency, shouldn't that raise a big red warning flag in the minds of those who would support Barack Obama? Unless, of course, they also support the views of Jeremiah Wright.

Forget freedom of religion in Canada

An e-mail from the Family Research Council reports:

"As Ontario's Christian Horizons ministry knows all too well, standing up for your religious beliefs has its price. Last week, the organization was fined $23,000 by Canada's Human Rights Tribunal for asking employees to sign onto a "morality statement" which included a promise not to engage in homosexual relationships. Connie Heintz, a Horizons employee, agreed to the statement, only to reveal later that she was a lesbian. Heintz filed a complaint with the Tribunal claiming that she was "subjected to a poisoned work environment and threatened with the loss of her job." In response, officials ordered the organization to pay Heintz two years' wages, cease all applicant screenings, develop an "anti-discrimination" policy, and send all employees to a "human rights training program." It sounds unfair, yet this is the same rationale that's fueling the U.S. employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) debate. ENDA would mandate employer tolerance of all forms of sexual orientation in hiring, firing, promotion, and many Christian-oriented businesses (such as bookstores and radio stations) may not be protected by the bill's limited religious exemption."

Barack Obama is a strong ENDA supporter.

A plan to destroy America

Various versions of the following speech are making the rounds on the internet. The speach was entitled, "I have a plan to destroy America" by Richard D. Lamm, former governor of Colorado:

I have a secret plan to destroy America. If you believe as many do that America is too smug, too white bread, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America . It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that 'An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.'' Here is my plan.

First, to destroy America , we must make America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country. History shows, in my opinion, that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way:

'The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy.' Canada , Belgium , Malaysia , and Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, Corsicans and Muslims."

Second, I would then invent multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal; that there are no cultural differences. I would declare it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds.

Third, we could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec ' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently:

'The apparent success of our own multi-ethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentriy and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.'

I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural subgroups living in America enforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities.

Fourth, having done all this, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school.

Fifth, I would then get big foundations and big business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology.' I would get all minorities to think that their lack of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population.

Sixth, I establish dual citizenship, and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity. Diversity is a wonderfully seductive word. It stresses differences rather than commonalities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical precept. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together, and we can take advantage of this myopia. Look at the ancient Greeks. World history tells us

The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games. A common enemy, Persia! ,threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions.

If we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of the 'Unum,' we will 'Balkanize ' America as surely as Kosovo. '

Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits. Make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate.Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established multi-cultism, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of Victimology,' I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for America, it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them.

Lastly, I would censor Victor Davis Hanson's book 'Mexifornia.' His book is dangerous. It exposes my plan to destroy America . If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, please, please, don't buy this book. This guy is on to my plan.

Obama terrorist ties?

Imagine a terrorist fundraiser with ties to Hamas having a link on Obama's official web site. Imagine Michelle Obama listed among the "friends" of this terrorist fundraiser. Go to LGF and check it out.

Imagine no possessions

The famous John Lennon song, Imagine says, “Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can. No need for greed or hunger. A brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people, sharing all the world.”

Apparently Yoko Ono doesn’t believe all that stuff about no possessions, greed and sharing. She is suing the makers of the movie, Expelled for using a short clip of the song without her permission. The producers of Expelled claim their use is legal under the the fair use clause of copyright law.

Ben Stein commented, “Maybe instead of wasting everyone's time trying to silence a documentary she should give the song to the world for free. After all, 'imagine all the people sharing all the world …” (WND).

The Mystery of Life

I just finished watching a DVD entitled, Unlocking the Mystery of Life. It was quite possibly the most amazing documentary I’ve ever seen. The computer animations showing the complexity of the inner workings of the cell were phenomenal, almost like something out of science fiction.

The DVD convincingly demonstrates--through remarkable computer graphics and interviews with scientists--how impossible it is for life to have originated and evolved purely by natural selection.

Obama's hard core Marxist.

According to LGF, Barack Obama's official blogger, Sam Graham-Felsen, is such a hardcore Marxist that even some on the Left are disturbed by his presence on the Obama staff.

Maybe its time Democrats start probing a little more deeply into exactly what kind of "change" Obama has in mind.
