How Britain Encouraged Radicalism and Terrorism, Part 3 By Adrian Morgan

"By the time the invasion of Iraq took place on March 19, 2003, Al Muhajiroun (the 'emigrants') had acted with apparent impunity for so long, Omar Bakri Mohammed and his followers believed they were invincible. The FBI observed that the UK authorities had only become interested in Bakri when in 1991, during the Gulf War, he had issued a fatwa against John Major, the UK prime minister.

For this fatwa, in which he claimed Major was a 'legitimate target for assassination, Bakri was apprehended by police and questioned for 20 hours, but no charges were issued. If UK authorities had been vigilant, they would have taken an interest when Bakri founded UK Hizb ut-Tahrir in 1986. International Hizb aspired to destroy democracies and institute a totalitarian Islamist state.

Despite this fatwa, in 1993 Bakri was allowed to become a permanent resident in Britain, though citizenship was never granted to him. Bakri and his followers make frequent reference to a 'Covenant of Security' which was considered to be a truce. In August 1998 Bakri said: 'I work here in accordance with the covenant of peace which I made with the British government when I got [political] asylum… We respect the terms of this bond as Allah orders us to do.' In May 1999 he claimed: 'I think now we have something called public immunity.' "

Letter from a world federalist By Joseph Farah :: WorldNetDaily

"Imagine my surprise and delight when I received a letter from a genuine, bona fide, card-carrying world federalist in response to a column I wrote condemning fellow global governance advocate Walter Cronkite – a column dated Nov. 30, 1999!
It's not every day I meet or interface with someone who honestly thinks we'd all be better off if the people of the world had one, big government oppressing them rather than hundreds of little ones.
This was certainly a treat.
What made Mary Harris, secretary of the Democratic World Federalists, respond at this time to an 8-year-old column I wrote, I don't know. But respond she did. Better late than never, I guess – even if she did mistake my opinion piece for a 'news article.' (I guess it's easy to do if you are a regular consumer of what passes for news in the so-called 'mainstream media.') "

Al Qaedism Again by Victor Davis Hanson

"Why would Albanian-speaking Muslim refugees from the Balkans try to murder American soldiers? After all, the United States — not bin Laden’s rag-tag jihadists — saved Bosnia and Kosovo? And we did that by bombing the capital of a Christian European nation.

But then, why did a mixed-up Albanian Muslim in Salt Lake City, one Sulejman Talovic, go on a shopping-mall shooting spree? Five innocents were killed in the attack before the murderer himself was shot and killed.

And why, after pouring billions of dollars into Afghanistan, did poor, mixed-up Omeed Aziz Popal, an Afghan Muslim, try to run over several innocents in San Francisco near a Jewish center in September 2006?

Or, for that matter, why did an angry Muslim Pakistani gun down Jews in Seattle?

Or, again, why earlier last year, did a 22-year-old Iranian-American Muslim drive his sport utility vehicle into a crowded pedestrian zone at the University of North Carolina?"

The Return of the Idiot By Alvaro Vargas Llosa

"Throughout the 20th century, Latin America’s populist leaders waved Marxist banners, railed against foreign imperialists, and promised to deliver their people from poverty. One after another, their ideologically driven policies proved to be sluggish and shortsighted. Their failures led to a temporary retreat of the strongman. But now, a new generation of self-styled revolutionaries is trying to revive the misguided methods of their predecessors.

Ten years ago, Colombian writer Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza, Cuban writer Carlos Alberto Montaner, and I wrote Guide to the Perfect Latin American Idiot, a book criticizing opinion and political leaders who clung to ill-conceived political myths despite evidence to the contrary. The “Idiot” species, we suggested, bore responsibility for Latin America’s underdevelopment. Its beliefs—revolution, economic nationalism, hatred of the United States, faith in the government as an agent of social justice, a passion for strongman rule over the rule of law—derived, in our opinion, from an inferiority complex. In the late 1990s, it seemed as if the Idiot were finally retreating. But the retreat was short lived. Today, the species is back in force in the form of populist heads of state who are reenacting the failed policies of the past, opinion leaders from around the world who are lending new credence to them, and supporters who are giving new life to ideas that seemed extinct.

Agenda 21, Secular Humanism and the Animalization of Americans by Linda Kimball

"The murderous secular humanist religions of Communism and Nazism were spawned by the anti-God/utopian tradition of Revolutionary France. The Black Book of Communism, an 800-page compendium of the crimes of Communist regimes worldwide, graphically details the terror, torture, man-made famine, mass deportations, starvation, and massacres undertaken on behalf of revolutionary utopian ideals. The reality of Communism, which claimed to be an emissary of the Enlightenment, of universal brotherhood, and of happiness for all as envisioned by Gracchus Babeuf, turned out to be not only a sadistic engine for unimaginable evil but also the creator of hells on earth.
The book’s authors point to Communism’s “biological and zoological strain of thinking” as the engine of evil that proved itself to be a most effective means of denying the humanity of Communism’s millions of victims."

Springtime in Islamberg Dr. Paul Williams

Situated within a dense forest at the foothills of the Catskill Mountains on the outskirts of Hancock, New York, Islamberg is not an ideal place for a summer vacation unless, of course, you are an exponent of the Jihad or a fan of Osama bin Laden.

The 70 acre complex is surrounded with “No trespassing” signs; the rocky terrain is infested with rattlesnakes; and the woods are home to black bears, coyotes, wolves, and a few bobcats.

The entrance to the community is at the bottom of a very steep hill that is difficult to navigate even on a bright sunny day in May. The road, dubbed Muslim Lane, is unpaved and marred by deep crevices that have been created by torrential downpours. On a wintry day, few, save those with all terrain vehicles, could venture forth from the remote encampment.

A sentry post has been established at the base of the hill.

The sentry, at the time of this visit, is an African American dressed in Islamic garb – a skull cap, a prayer shawl, and a loose fitting shalwat kameez. He instructs us to turn around and leave. “Our community is not open to visitors,” he says.

Behind the sentry and across a small stream stand dozens of inhabitants of the compound – the men wearing skull caps and loose fitting tunics, the women in full burqa. They appear ready to deal with any unauthorized intruders.

The hillside is blighted by rusty trailers that appear to be without power or running water and a number of outhouses. The scent of raw sewage is in the air.

The place is even off limits to the local undertaker who says that he has delivered bodies to the complex but has never been granted entrance. “They come and take the bodies from my hearse. They won’t allow me to get past the sentry post. They say that they want to prepare the bodies for burial. But I never get the bodies back. I don’t know what’s going on there but I don’t think it’s legal.”

What Future for US - Europe Relations? By Fjordman

"The relationship Americans have with Europe has always been complicated. On one hand, it is the Mother Continent. On the other hand, there is a skeptical or rejectionist view of Europe in the US, as many European Americans left precisely to get away from the Old World. I sometimes wonder whether the best way to understand this paradox is that the early pioneers wanted to create an improved version of Europe: A country steeped in the best of Europe's cultural and philosophical traditions, but with less of its religious intolerance and elitism.

The most radical rejection of any relationship between Europe and the USA I have seen comes from writer Spengler of the Asia Times Online, who claims that: 'America never, in my surmise, offered fertile soil for the propagation of Western civilization. The founders of Massachusetts came to America because they rejected Western civilization as hopelessly corrupt, and conceived of a New Jerusalem. The Virginians, with their mock-classic temples and slave-based culture of leisure, identified with the Greco-Roman classics. We know who won that argument. America, such as it is, is not really a continuation of Western civilization at all, but a strange throwback to Hebraic rather than Greek origins.'"

The Decline of American Renaissance By Sam Raymond

"When he held the first American Renaissance (AR) conference in 1994, Jared Taylor seemed to be on the cusp of bringing into being a major new paradigm in American politics: a race realism that could appeal to moderate conservatives. Taylor and his fellow speakers spoke forthrightly about racial differences in intelligence and criminality, as well the inevitability of racial conflict and the need for whites to defend their interests. However, Taylor’s race realism came with none of the extremist, conspiratorial, anti-Semitic baggage that had previously characterized American racialism. Here, it seemed, was someone who was forging a vision that could appeal to the mass of moderate and sensible Americans, rather than a handful of marginal cranks.

Thirteen years later, Taylor has failed to make good on his original promise. Through his refusal to denounce the blatant anti-Semitism of many of his followers, Taylor has proved that he either never understood what it would take to build a mass movement or never wanted to. Taylor appears at last to have thrown in his lot with the cranks, and the task of building a mass movement must fall to others."

How Our Decaying Civilization Will End, Too Enfeebled to Resist Invasion :: By Philip Atkinson

"The Roman Wall
I was born in England, in the city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne which is proud of its long history, which can easily be traced back to the period of ancient Rome’s occupation of Britain. There are many vestiges of the occupation but the most famous remains are those of Hadrian’s Wall. This was a stone wall extending from the east coast to the west coast of England, built to protect the Roman occupied country south of the wall from raids by northern barbarians, or so I was taught. I have never questioned this explanation until recent events have caused me to consider another purpose for Hadrian’s Wall.

Barrier Only To Unarmed Invaders
The Roman wall would never have stopped an attacking army, unless it was manned along its whole length. But to garrison the wall in such a fashion would be to undermine the ability of the Roman army to confront a barbarian host, who would invariably outnumber them. Dispersing its soldiers along an 80-mile front could not, and was not meant to, repel a mass attack, but to overcome a problem identical to that which Western Civilization is now facing. It was erected to stop the steady stream of migrants from the barbarian-ruled areas entering the Roman Empire. And this was done because, even though the barbarians entered the Empire peacefully, they did not come to help the Roman Empire, but to exploit it. They did not want to become citizens of Rome, but to retain their own culture within the Roman community, which made them a liability to the Roman Empire."

Just War Doctrine and Islam's War Against the West By Thomas Snodgrass, Colonel, USAF (retired)

"The West is killing itself by applying Judeo-Christian notions of Just War in a perverse and self-destructive way. In this article, SANE's Director of Military Affairs, Col. Snodgrass, brings clarity and precision to this discussion.

The jus ad bellum criteria are (1) just cause in terms of self-defense and protection of innocents; (2) right intention to bring justice and peace; (3) proper authority and public declaration meaning that the declaration of war is executed only by heads of state within a legal framework; (4) last resort after other options have been seriously considered, although not necessarily tried; (5) probability of success to block violence which is going to be futile; and (6) macro proportionality which weighs expected universal good to accrue from its prosecuting the war against the expected universal evils that will result. The jus in bello criteria are (1) micro proportionality that weighs the use of a particular weapon or tactic to determine that it is proportional to the threat; and (2) discrimination between combatants and non-combatants."

Political Correctness is Destroying Our Military By Diana West

"On the 60th anniversary of VJ-Day in 2005, Marine Capt. Randy Stone, a military lawyer serving in Iraq, became a presidential poster boy. Capt. Stone's two grandfathers fought at Iwo Jima, so President Bush, in a celebratory speech, turned the whole family into a gold-braided rhetorical flourish to depict the continuity of American character and courage from one war to another.
'Captain Stone proudly wears the uniform just as his grandfathers did at Iwo Jima,' said Mr. Bush. 'He's guided by the same convictions they carried into battle. He shares the same willingness to serve a cause greater than himself... Randy says, 'I know we will win because I see it in the eyes of the Marines every morning. In their eyes is the sparkle of victory.' '
That was then. I wish the president would look into Capt. Stone's eyes now as the officer finishes up his first week of Article 32 hearings, the military's equivalent of a grand jury proceeding, to determine whether dereliction of duty charges against him will go to trial."

Gates of Vienna: A Communism for the 21st Century

"I’ve received some criticism for trying to figure out the ideological and historical roots of Multiculturalism. Critics claim that it’s all about hate, about a desire to break down the Established Order at any cost. Many of the proponents don’t believe in the doctrine of Multiculturalism themselves, so we shouldn’t waste any time analyzing the logic behind it, because there is none. A desire to break down Western society is certainly there, but I do believe there are some ideas about the desired end result articulated as well.

On one hand, we’re supposed to “celebrate” our differences at the same time as it is racist and taboo to recognize that any differences between groups of people exist at all. This is hardly logically coherent, which is why Multiculturalism can only be enforced by totalitarian means. Perhaps it boils down to the fact there are no major differences, just minor quirks, all cute, which should be celebrated at the same time as we gradually eradicate them."

Armed with the Truth::By Fred Thompson

"If you care about Constitutional law, and everybody should, the big news is that it looks as if the Supreme Court is going to hear a Second Amendment case some time next year. The event that sparked this legal fuse was a case brought by six D.C. residents who simply wanted functional firearms in their homes for self-defense. In response, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit struck down the District's 31-year-old gun ban -- one of the strictest in the nation.
Our individual right to keep and bear arms, as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, may finally be confirmed by the high court; but this means that we're going to see increasing pressure on the Supreme Court from anti-gun rights activists who want the Constitution reinterpreted to fit their prejudices. The New York Times has already fired the first broadside. "

Bernard Lewis Credits Bush on Iraq by Joseph Puder

Both qualities were on display on Wednesday evening, May 2, 2007 when he addressed an overflow audience in the ballroom of the Loew’s Philadelphia Hotel. The program, sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia, charged the masterful Professor Emeritus of Princeton University to lecture on the subject of Europe and Islam.
Professor Lewis, who was recently awarded the Ataturk Peace Award from the Turkish government, began his presentation by illustrating the similarities and differences between Europe and Islam. Europe, he said, defined itself as a civilization known as Christendom, in spite of its current post-Christian self-perception. Islam and Christianity share a prominent feature - triumphalism. Both Christianity and Islam believe that they are the sole recipients of G-d’s latest word. Conversely Jews believe in individual salvation through righteousness."

Correct?

DR. SPENCER: Well, let's be a little more specific than that. Basically, precipitation systems act as the atmosphere's air conditioner. It's kind of like in your house, the air is constantly being recycled, right? Well, precipitation systems constantly recycle the atmosphere's air. The air you were breathing was probably, in the last few days, going through a precipitation system. Those systems are what cause most of the earth's greenhouse effect, which is water vapor and clouds.

RUSH: Precisely. I remember. When you say 'most,' could you attach a percentage of greenhouse-gases to water vapor?

DR. SPENCER: Over 90%. Our addition of CO2 has enhanced the greenhouse effect by maybe 1% so far.

RUSH: Okay. So that's automobiles, exhalation of human breath, factory smoke stacks, all these things that we're being told are really polluting the planet are really such a small percentage of the so-called greenhouse gases. By the way, is it a bad thing the planet might warm up?

A Baghdad plea: U.S. should stay and fight By MOHAMMED FADHIL - NY Daily News

"I wasn't surprised when I saw Al Qaeda's second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, appear on Al Jazeera to announce America's defeat last week, not long after U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid did. Zawahiri claims Al Qaeda has won, and Reid claims America has lost.
But from here in Baghdad, I see only a war that's still raging - with no victory in sight for Al Qaeda or any other entity. In fact, I see Al Qaeda on the ropes, losing support among my fellow Iraqis.
In the midst of such a fierce war, sending more wrong messages could only further complicate an already complicated situation. It would only create more of a mess inside Iraq - a mess that would then be exploited by Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia for their own purposes: more iron-fisted control of the peoples and treasures of the region, more pushing the Middle East to crises and confrontations, and more spreading of their dark, backward ideologies."

For Reagan's party was a pro-life party. Life defined the man. Life defined the movement he led.

How Britain Encouraged Radicalism And Terrorism - Part Four (of Four) By Adrian Morgan

"Britain has long had a policy of accepting 'asylum seekers' onto its shores. A noble policy in principle, it has allowed Islamists who are too extreme for their own Islamic countries to arrive and thrive. Within Britain, these individuals have been allowed to continue preaching their extremism, with little or no interference from the authorities.
Individuals such as Omar Bakri Mohammed, Abu Qatada, Yasser al-Siri, Mohammed al-Massari arrived as refugees seeking sanctuary, and then proceeded to agitate among British Muslims. One famous arrival was Abu Hamza al-Masri (pictured), the fiery former cleric of the Finsbury Park Mosque. Hamza arrived on July 13, 1979, not as a refugee, but on a one-month visitor's visa."

It’s not like the office of the President has the power to single-handedly settle the issue either way. Also, he’s not McCain.
No, it’s his constant trying to straddle the fence and eating his cake while having it too which, unfortunately for Rudy, is very much like McCain. Either you’re pro-abortion or you’re anti-abortion, Rudy. Pick one. Don’t waste time trying to establish your non-existent anti-abortion bona fides when it’s obvious that you don’t mean it; that you’re just pandering. Just like McCain would do."

The link between abortion and divorce By Fred Hutchison

"Is a married couple who aborts their child more likely to divorce? If so, is there a direct relationship between high abortion rates and high divorce rates? Theologian Diertrich Bonhoeffer hinted that this might be the case.

In his book Ethics, written in a Nazi prison in 1943, Bonhoeffer wrote, 'Marriage involves an acknowledgment of the right of life that is to come into being, a right which is not subject to disposal by the married couple. Unless this right is acknowledged as a matter of principle, marriage ceases to be marriage and becomes a mere liaison.'

The bible tells us that man and wife become 'one flesh'(Genesis 2:24). This mysterious union is an act of God. It is God's plan to bring forth children through this united entity of God, husband, and wife. The fabric of the marriage is woven into this design."

Cameron Conservatism By Rt Hon Oliver Letwin MP

Do Cameron Conservatives have a theory?

This is not, of course, the same as asking whether Cameron Conservatism is theory-driven.

Like any distinctively Conservative discourse, Cameron Conservatism is radically pragmatic rather than radically dogmatic. It is a practical response to felt need - a balanced answer to what are understood to be real and present challenges.

But a political position which is not theory-driven, (which, indeed, is profoundly sceptical of theory as a guide to political action) may nevertheless disclose deep theoretical dispositions - distinctive patterns of thought which, through their internal coherence, lend strength to pragmatic responses as these come under attack in the battle of ideas and strengthen also the unity of purpose displayed when pragmatically tackling the perceived real-world challenges.

In this sense, then, I repeat my question, do Cameron Conservatives have a theory?

And my answer, in that same sense, is yes. The pragmatic responses of Cameron Conservatism to perceived real-world challenges do disclose a set of coherent theoretical dispositions.

In particular, Cameron Conservatism is an attempt to achieve two paradigm shifts - a shift in the locus of political debate and a shift in the theory of the state.

With Friends Like US, Who Needs Enemies :: WatchBlog

Not only is anti-Americanism generally cost free; it provides some immunity from criticism. Leftists worldwide, and also in America, tend to lay off despots standing on their hind legs to criticize the U.S., while America’s friends are harshly scrutinized. Consider the disgraceful treatment Columbia’s President Alvaro Uribe got from such discriminating people as Pelosi & Gore.

Pelosi, who figuratively kissed Assad in Syria, scolded a democratically elected U.S. ally like Uribe. She made no mention of the friendship she extended to her new BFF Bashar. Al Gore made a special point of dissing Uribe by canceling a joint appearance and generally treating a good ally as the skunk at a garden party.

What did Uribe do to deserve this? The proximate cause is a proposed free trade agreement with the U.S. Democratic political allies hate this sort of freedom thing and they are not above a flanking attack that trashes a U.S. ally in order to stop it. But I wish it was ONLY craven calculation of economic self interest.

Al Qaeda calls on nonwhites to join the jihad against the West by Lawrence Auster

"One of the reasons my writings would tend to be seen as 'racist' in contemporary terms is that I don't speak only of defending 'America,' I sometimes, depending on context, speak of defending 'white America'; and I don't speak just of my fear for the future of 'Western civilization,' I also speak of my concern for 'white Western civilization.' The racial character of European and British civilization and its overseas extensions is simply a historic fact. Without the white race and its distinct sub-groups and their particular characteristics and cultures, there would have been no Greece, there would have been no Rome, there would have been no Middle Ages, there would have been no France, no Germany, no Italy. Without the Anglo-Saxon and closely related peoples, there would have been no Britain, no United States of America. Of course, today's liberal ideology--embraced by liberals and conservatives--tells us that the West is defined only by abstract ideas, not by any race, ethnicity, or culture. The fact nevertheless remains that insofar as the West loses its predominantly white character, it will inevitably change into something that is no longer the West. This is happening before our eyes in the Third-Worldized city of London, and in the American Southwest. "

To understand why this 37-year-old woman is extraordinary, she must be assessed in the context of the forces pitted against her in her twin struggles to force the Western world to take note of Islam's divinely ordained enslavement of women, and to force the Islamic world to account for it.
A series of incidents this week placed the forces she battles in stark relief. Sunday Muslims shot up the Omariyah elementary school in Gaza. One man was killed and six were wounded in the onslaught. The murderers attacked because the UN-run school in Rafah had organized a sports day for the children, in which little boys would be playing with little girls. "

The EU and North American Union By Joseph Farah

"Did you notice the European Union celebrated its 50th anniversary this month?
I don't know about you, but I distinctly recall the launch of the EU in 1993 – 14 years ago. How is it that a 14-year-old government is celebrating its 50th anniversary?
It's an important story – especially for Americans who don't believe there is a real threat of or planning for a future North American Community confederating the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Today, the Europeans proud of their regional government achievement see the real birth of the EU dating back to the 1957 Treaty of Rome, involving only six countries for the purpose of pooling their steel and coal resources. "

Denial of Heritage By Sondra M. Rubenstein

"The politicization of archaeology is nothing new. What is new in Facts on the Ground, is the length to which author Nadia Abu El-Haj of the Columbia University Anthology faculty has gone to ignore, distort, revise, imply and assert the inaccuracy of historical fact. Her political motive is to deconstruct the legitimacy of the State of Israel.

Consistent with her goal, she cites the 'issue' of place names and where they should be situated (p. 96). She not only claims that there were imperial colonial motives underlying the work of the Naming Committee (Va'adat ha-Shemot), thereby tainting their work, but that the new naming pf places by new inhabitants was, somehow, a unique event, a conscious and illegitimate effort to obliterate Arab claims of a continuous and uninterrupted presence on the land.

How to Lose an Ally By Robert Novak

"Colombia's President Alvaro Uribe returned to Bogota this week in a state of shock. His three-day visit to Capitol Hill in Washington to win over Democrats in Congress was described by one American supporter as 'catastrophic.' Colombian sources said Uribe was stunned by the ferocity of his Democratic opponents, and Vice President Francisco Santos publicly talked about cutting U.S.-Colombian ties.
Uribe got nothing from his meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders. Military aid remains stalled, overall assistance is reduced, and the vital U.S.-Colombian trade bill looks dead. The first Colombian president to crack down on his country's corrupt army officer hierarchy, and to assault both right-wing paramilitaries and left-wing guerrillas, last week confronted Democrats wedded to out-of-date claims of civil rights abuses and to rigidly protectionist dogma."

The Terrorist Roadmap for the Future by Laura Mansfield

"News media reports describe this morning's terrorist suspects, who planned an attack on Ft. Dix, NJ, as homegrown with no ties to al Qaeda or any other international terrorist organization.

This isn’t surprising in the least.

It is very likely that this cell, like numerous others that have been uncovered in the past year, falls into the category of “Individual or Small Group Terrorism”, as espoused by the Al Qaeda ideologue Abu Mus’ab al Suri in his book “Call to Global Islamic Resistance”.

The doctrine of “Individual or Small Group Terrorism” is a major concept in al Suri’s 1604-page manifesto, published on the internet in December 2004.

Al Suri, who is believed to be currently in US custody, describes three primary phases of Jihad in the book:

▪ Organizations
▪ Open Fronts
▪ Individual/Small Groups

He explains in depth each of these phases, and makes a strong case that the wave of the future is individual and small group terrorists.

He believes that the days of the larger groups, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, are close to ending, citing the increased effectiveness of security forces in breaking up the groups, as well as the security risks posed in top-down, chain of command structures. A primary concern of Al Suri was that an arrest of anyone in the chain could compromise all those involved."

Dancing With the Devil by Victoria Coates - HUMAN EVENTS

"Nassar al-Rubiae, head of the Sadrist block in the Iraqi Council of Representatives, made common cause with members of our Congress who supported the a firm timetable for a rapid U.S. withdrawal from Iraq in an interview we had in Iraq. He repeated this talking point in a subsequent interview with Asia Times online, and it features in the open letter Moqtada al-Sadr recently sent to President Bush. His remark in our interview was no random accusation: it was part a deliberate PR campaign to exploit the Democrats' action on the war supplemental legislation and thus legitimize the Sadrist agenda. In short, radical Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr wants the U.S. to pull out of Iraq immediately and leave the country to the tender ministrations of the extremists among the Shia majority. "

The Sarkozy Victory in France: A Timely Reprieve, or a Dying Gasp? By Christopher Adamo

"Credit must be given where credit is due on the far side of the Atlantic. France, noted in recent years for pacifism and capitulation to the various enemies of the West, has now elected a pro-America leader who promises to enact an unmistakably conservative program of reform. His goal is to bolster the French economy while shoring up its deteriorating national identity.

Admittedly, the term “conservative” holds a far different meaning among Europeans than it does in America. Nevertheless, Sarkozy’s campaign, clearly defined from that of his socialist opponent, Segolene Royal, embodies an ideology that lauds hard work and individual initiative.

Elsewhere on the international front, Sarkozy seeks to begin overhauling the currently disastrous immigration policy, which has led to a Muslim subculture of such enormity that it threatens the very essence of everything traditionally French. The massive scale of last year’s Muslim riots apparently served as a “wake up call” to the nation’s citizens who defied anti-nationalist rhetoric of the “politically correct” crowd to rally around Sarkozy."

Islam's War Against Christianity In The Holy Land :: The American Israeli Patriot

It was assumed that this was another round of the Hamas/Fatah courtship. Quotes from those involved cited the 'immoral values' being taught at the school. WND breaks a whole new angle to the story;

A deadly attack yesterday against a United Nations school in the Gaza Strip was carried out by an Islamist extremist group, according to a statement faxed to WND claiming the U.N. was targeted because the international body was 'spreading Christian missionary activity.'

'The UN is spreading Christian missionary activity. We will keep hitting them and trying to kill them. They are trying to convert our Muslims under the cover of an international organization,' said the statement, signed by the group Jihadia Salafiya. "

Balkan Muslim Gratitude by Julia Gorin

Global Warming: Not the End of the World as We Know It - By Olaf Stampf - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News

"How bad is climate change really? Are catastrophic floods and terrible droughts headed our way? Despite widespread fears of a greenhouse hell, the latest computer simulations are delivering far less dramatic predictions about tomorrow's climate.

Germany could experience a tourist boom as a result of climate change.Svante Arrhenius, the father of the greenhouse effect, would be called a heretic today. Far from issuing the sort of dire predictions about climate change which are common nowadays, the Swedish physicist dared to predict a paradise on earth for humans when he announced, in April 1896, that temperatures were rising -- and that it would be a blessing for all.

Arrhenius, who later won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, calculated that the release of carbon dioxide -- or carbonic acid as it was then known -- through burning coal, oil and natural gas would lead to a significant rise in temperatures worldwide. But, he argued, 'by the influence of the increasing percentage of carbonic acid in the atmosphere, we may hope to enjoy ages with more equable and better climates,' potentially making poor harvests and famine a thing of the past."

Fort Dix Six Show Us WHY We Need the CLEAR Act By Debbie Schlussel

"We're very lucky that an alert, courageous Circuit City employee turned in the Fort Dix Six terrorists. They might have killed many at the Army-Navy football game, as they'd once planned. Or they might have shot 'as many soldiers as possible' at Fort Dix, because pizza delivery men are let into military installations far too easily.
Or at least three of them might have been deported long ago if the Federal CLEAR Act legislation was passed by Congress and enacted despite the heavy and successful lobbying against it by Arab and Islamist groups. The CLEAR Act would require all state and local law enforcement to ask about and check the immigration status of all parties that they stop. Since they check our arrest records, outstanding warrants, etc. when they stop us, police checking our immigration status would seem just as easy. And it is. If only they had the mechanism to do so.
But the three Duka men who are ethnic Albanians living here illegally were never checked and deported because, as FOX News reports, they operated in 'sanctuary cities.' Do you think that's by accident? Not a chance. Islamic terrorists and illegal aliens know about sanctuary cities, and they purposefully locate themselves there so they can continue their terror plotting unfettered. They laugh at us and the sanctuaryists."

Fort Dix Plot By Andrew C. McCarthy

"The mainstream media is atwitter this morning over the six Muslim men arrested in south Jersey for conspiring “to kill as many soldiers as possible” at the Fort Dix U.S. army base. The case, they tell us, reflects the new terrorism: inept, atomized cells, disconnected from al Qaeda or any other regimented international terrorist organization."

Here’s the template setter, the New York Times: “The authorities described the suspects as Islamic extremists and said they represented the newest breed of threat: loosely organized domestic militants unconnected to — but inspired by — al Qaeda or other international terror groups.”

The Washington Post echoes:

[The group] … was portrayed as a leaderless, homegrown cell of immigrants from Jordan, Turkey and the former Yugoslavia who came together because of a shared infatuation with Internet images of jihad, or holy war. Authorities said the group has no apparent connection to al-Qaeda or other international terrorist organizations aside from ideology, but appears to be an example of the kind of self-directed sympathizers widely predicted — and feared — by counterterrorism specialists. The defendants allegedly passed around and copied images of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and the martyrdom videos of two of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers.

Gee, thanks guys! The six arrested men — three of whom are said to be illegal immigrants and to have entered the US via its southern border — are described as 'foreign born Muslims' who had plotted the mass slaughter of US soldiers stationed at Fort Dix, NJ. An audio recording of suspect Mohamad Ibrahim Shnewer revealed his comments: 'If you want to do anything here, there is Fort Dix and I don't want to exaggerate, and I assure you that you can hit an American base very easily.' Although CAIR has filed a lawsuit against US Airways' passengers who had the audacity to report suspicious behaviors of six Flying Imams, it has apparently decided to distance itself from these most current six terrorists. However — as is the case with CAIR — there is a caveat."

How Muhammad created the Cult of Islam « Foehammer’s Anvil

"Often people ask me how I so quickly came to the conclusion that Islam is a cult and a lie. Well, let me give you an answer in a clear, simple way this morning. Watch this:"





If thousands of people are ready to believe this man, José Luis de Jesús Miranda, is Jesus Christ reborn, do you honestly believe that a smarter man like Muhammad would not have been able to convince his followers that he merely spoke to the angel Gabriel and received the word of Allah? This is an ancient scam.

Like Islam, Miranda is claiming that his teachings supersede any that have come before (I point out evidence of this claim in my video ‘Refuting Islam Part One’). Again, how convenient. I suppose God must be schizophrenic if we are to believe either the claims of Muhammad or of Miranda.

Peoples Patriot Blog :: Weapons of Choice for Eliminating America’s Middle Class

Once the middle class is eliminated, all that will be left is a very small class of elites and a very large under class of the poor and powerless. When we reach that phase, the under class will lack any mechanism necessary to reverse the damage. The elites know this and they are executing this plan as I write this post.
The elites will gain tremendous wealth and power when the literal and economic genocide of the middle class is complete. All of the protections afforded to America’s “heart and soul” will have been eliminated.

The Left's Global Warming Solution: No More Children! by Ben Shapiro

"Proving once again that foolish ideas don't die or fade away -- they walk the earth eternally, preying on the brains of the living -- scientists at a UK think tank have determined that the greatest threat to the planet is more human beings. 'The effect on the planet of having one child less is an order of magnitude greater than all these other things we might do, such as switching off lights,' explains Professor John Guillebaud, co-chairman of the Optimum Population Trust (OPT). 'The greatest thing anyone in Britain could do to help the future of the planet would be to have one less child.'

The OPT is hardly the first to jump on the Malthusian bandwagon. The environmental left is in a constant state of apoplexy about the environmental cost of human existence. Back in 1968, Professor Paul Ehrlich published his famous -- and entirely erroneous -- anti-reproduction manifesto, 'The Population Bomb.' 'The battle to feed all of humanity is over,' Ehrlich claimed. 'In the 1970s the world will undergo famines -- hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death.' His solution: 'The birth rate must be brought into balance with the death rate. We can no longer afford merely to treat the symptoms of the cancer of population growth; the cancer itself must be cut out.' "

The Balkan Front by Stephen Schwartz

"Taking the temperature of Islam in the Balkans this spring is only partly reassuring. In Sarajevo in late March, observances for the 800th anniversary of the birth of the great Sufi poet Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi (who is hugely popular, incidentally, with American readers) were entirely in keeping with the moderate, peaceful character of the Islam of the region. Yet at the same time, a visitor to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Albania, Kosovo, and Macedonia encountered unmistakable evidence that extremist intruders are opening a Balkan front in the global jihad.
The celebration in Sarajevo--to which we will return--marked what UNESCO is calling the 'Year of Rumi.' It was only one of several commemorative events taking place around the world. Rumi's work, written in Farsi, has been translated into every major language; a Google search turns up four million references to him. "

Can Fred Thompson Fill the GOP's Vacuum? By Kathleen Parker

Mexico: Annexation or Desolation by Erik Rush

"In my various treatises addressing the prudence of the United States government initiating overtures toward a negotiated annexation of Mexico, I attend to the oft-considered tribulations that have been thrashed out in political circles and media venues since September 11, 2001, when issues of national security gave vibrant new life to the predicament concerning our southern border. What to do about the border is a question Americans have been asking for decades, with Republican and Democrat administrations sharing equal blame in their failure to provide answers.
In the book Annexing Mexico: Solving the Border Problem Through Annexation and Assimilation, I present comprehensive research on the subject and a proposal – radical though it may seem at first blush – delineating precisely how this annexation might be accomplished and the impressive benefits to both nations.
I was motivated to write this column in part due to the incomprehensibly audacious, grotesque and profane “May Day 2007” marches that were held mere days ago in many American cities (ostensibly in support of “undocumented migrant workers”), but there are other critical aspects vis-à-vis illegal aliens from Mexico which I believe merit deliberation and even further validate the case for annexing Mexico."

Ignoring the Invasion by Chip McLean

"Perhaps it was because of the format, perhaps it was due to the number of candidates, but this past Thursday’s Republican “debate” wasn’t so much a debate as it was a sound bite circus.
For those of us hoping that illegal immigration would be raised as a major issue facing our nation, the evening was a thorough disappointment. Moderator Chris Matthews was determined to stay away from the issue – and equally determined to keep the camera on John McCain, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney.
The rules were not enforced evenhandedly by Matthews, as the “Big Three” were blatantly given extra face time by continually being allowed to exceed the sixty second time limit, while the rest of the field were summarily silenced while attempting to finish their answers.
Of course there’s a reason for focusing on those three darlings of the liberal press - the MSM doesn’t want to see a true conservative head up the Republican ticket because they know someone meeting that criteria will fire up the conservative base, thus turning out voters. But that’s the goal of the MSM – help nominate a warm, fuzzy GOP centrist, and then quickly desert him in order to help elect a liberal Democrat."

It's a valid skepticism and a reasonable demand. Recent events in Pakistan and Turkey, however, prove that moderate Muslims are no myth.
In Pakistan, an estimated 100,000 people demonstrated on April 15 in Karachi, the country's largest city, to protest the plans of a powerful mosque in Islamabad, the Lal Masjid, to establish a parallel court system based on Islamic law, the Shari‘a. 'No to extremism,' roared the crowd. 'We will strongly resist religious terrorism and religious extremism,' exhorted Altaf Hussain, leader of the Mutahida Qaumi Movement, at the rally."

Support for homosexual agenda remaining 'Ford tough' By Ed Thomas

La Racaille By Joshua Trevino - The Brussels Journal

"As predicted, or more accurately, threatened by Ségolène Royal, there is violence in the wake of Nicolas Sarkozy’s victory in the French presidential election. The riot and mayhem in the streets of Paris recalls past acts of destruction and outrage at the hands of losing partisans: from the 1996 brawls in Washington, DC, by Dole supporters; to the destructive spree of angry Tories in the City of London in 1997; to the recent smashing of shop-windows by Republicans on 8 November 2006; and yes, to the violence visited upon the hapless City of Light by RPR youth in the aftermath of Mitterand’s 1988 victory in France. The present wreckage on French streets — see an excellent series of photos here — is therefore of a piece with long-established Western tradition.

Except it’s not, of course: the above-mentioned events are all fictitious, with the exception of the very real anti-Sarkozy violence. This is a curious thing, but notable: in the liberal West, at least, it is the left that has a near-monopoly on mob violence and public disorder today. We saw it emerge in the protests of the 1990s, and it has moved into more explicitly political spheres since. It is curious on two counts: first, because of the stereotype of left-wing activists is not a particularly violent one; second, because no political stripe not involving Quakers has any monopoly on violence in history. So why just the left, and why now?"

No Does By Frank J. Gaffney, Jr.

On the Amtrak train to New York a few minutes ago, the conductor announced, "If you see anything suspicious, please report it to the authorities immediately." If Islamist-front organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its friends in Congress have their way, however, this sensible, prudential announcement will have to be amended: "Be advised: If you do make such a report, you may be sued."

Could it really come to this? It could, if the Democratic leadership in the House of Representatives gets away with an effort to deep-six legislation approved last month with the support of 109 of their caucus' members.

According to a Republican memo circulated before the vote, that legislation is designed to ensure that " any person that voluntarily reports suspicious activity -- anything that could be a threat to transportation security" will be granted immunity from civil liability for the disclosure." It "authorizes courts to award attorneys' fees to defendants with immunity" and would apply retroactively to activities that took place on or after November 20, 2006.

Amoral corporate America By Joseph Farah

I take a backseat to no one in defense of free enterprise.

But, just as America's founders warned that freedom and self-government would only last so long as the populace was God-fearing and moral, so too will the efficacy of our free-market economy.

Corporations in America, especially the big, multinational ones, are increasingly without scruples, without morality, without any sense of right and wrong.

Take, for example, Verizon Wireless' decision to "partner" with hip-hop superstar Akon, a despicable, criminal, misogynistic sleaze artist who last month was caught on video simulating the rape of a 14-year-old girl on stage in a Trinidad nightclub.

I'm delighted that Verizon executives have come to their senses and recognized the historic blunder they made in embracing this monster, this miscreant, this unbelievably bad role model for young people around the world.

A nuclear Iran would not resemble any other nuclear power. There could be no stable "balance of terror" involving that Islamic Republic. Unlike nuclear threats of the cold war, which were governed by mutual assumptions of rationality and mutual assured destruction, a world with a nuclear-armed Iran could explode at any moment. Although it might still seem reasonable to suggest a postponement of preemption until Iran were more openly nuclear, the collateral costs of any such delay could be unendurable.

Ideally, a diplomatic settlement with Iran could be taken seriously. But in the real world, we must compare the price of prompt preemptive action against Iran with the costs of both: (1) inaction; and (2) delayed military action. To be sure, all available options are apt to be injurious.

History leaves the French socialists behind By James P. Pinkerton

'Finally, a revolution in France that I approve of!"

That was Edmund Burke, reacting happily to the election of conservative Nicolas Sarkozy as the new French president.

Burke looked and sounded pretty chipper, considering that he's been dead for 210 years. OK, I'm not sure I was really talking to Burke. But I felt his spirit, knowing he would be delighted to see the French socialists defeated once again.

Those socialists, of course, are the inheritors of the 1789 Revolution that Burke so eloquently opposed. In 1790, the Anglo-Irishman wrote a small book, "Reflections on the Revolution in France," which has become a classic. In its pages, he defended the "ancient principles" of society and tradition against the iconoclastic radicalism of Robespierre and his Marie Antoinette-guillotining Jacobins.

Reid & Co. Hate America, Hate Our Troops By Joan Swirsky

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” – Cicero.

To understand what is particularly execrable about the leftwing Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and the Greek chorus of liberals in Congress and the media who echo his surrender-in-Iraq agenda, is to speak about their statements and actions in ways that all Americans – not just political partisans – can understand.

Let’s take Mr. and Mrs. Average American whose intelligent and hardworking high school student is having trouble with a difficult math course. The Smith’s have a meeting with the teenager’s teacher and tell her that up to this point, Joe has done quite well, in fact excellently.

“He’s a failure,” replies the teacher.

“But Joe’s gotten As in his other courses, he has a sterling academic reputation, and he’s very motivated to succeed,” the Smiths say. “And we’ve gotten him a tutor who has a new plan to help him, if you’ll only give him a chance to prove that he’s up to the task – as he has been in the past.”

Feeding the Mouth That Bites You By Doug Patton

"The Republican Party never learns. Time and again, apparently on the theory that real conservatives just can’t win against liberal Democrats, party bosses seem compelled to support wishy-washy, moderate-to-liberal Republicans over solid conservatives in primary elections across the country.

In 2004, U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter (RINO-PA) was justifiably fighting for his political life. After years of betraying the principles of the Republican Party, which had kept him in power for decades, Specter was being challenged in Pennsylvania’s GOP Senate primary by a conservative congressman named Pat Toomey. Toomey was well on his way to winning that primary when the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the White House rode in like the cavalry to rescue Specter. The party even enlisted the help of Pennsylvania’s junior Senator Rick Santorum on Specter’s behalf, a move that arguably cost Santorum his own seat two years later."

Carter Comes to Berkeley by Lee Kaplan

"At UC Berkeley on Wednesday, May 2, 2007, Jimmy Carter spoke about Middle East “peace.” Chancellor Robert Birgeneau began Carter’s introduction by saying “Although most of our undergraduate students were not even born when Jimmy Carter served as the 39th President of the US from 1977-1981, his impact on the world and long life of public service continues to draw students.” That was indeed the problem. Most of the 1,200 students -- who attended this event and nearly made a full house at Zellerbach Auditorium on the Cal campus -- were clearly too young to know Carter’s past history and, consequently, lacked a frame of reference with which to filter information and make up their own minds about Carter and his message.

American Thinker: Where Is The Republican Vision?

"In a Los Angeles Times op-ed from January 2004, famed liberal historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., wrote the following:

The president of the United States, wrote Henry Adams, the most brilliant of American historians, 'resembles the commander of a ship at sea. He must have a helm to grasp, a course to steer, a port to seek.' The Constitution awards presidents the helm, but creative presidents must possess and communicate the direction in which they propose to take the country. The port they seek is what the first President Bush dismissively called 'the vision thing.'
One of the most striking features of last week's Republican presidential debate was the near total lack of 'the vision thing' among the assembled candidates. Only John McCain offered a clear reason for electing him president: to wage war against Islamic terrorists and to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. As McCain explained: "

Eco-Extremist Wants World Population to Drop below 1 Billion

"Apparently, saving the whales is more important than saving 5.5 billion people. Paul Watson, founder and president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and famous for militant intervention to stop whalers, now warns mankind is “acting like a virus” and is harming Mother Earth.

Watson’s May 4 editorial asked the question “The Beginning of the End for Life as We Know it on Planet Earth?” Then he left no doubt about the answer. “We are killing our host the planet Earth,” he claimed and called for a population drop to less than 1 billion.

The commentary reminded readers that Watson had called humans a disease before and he wasn’t sorry. “I was once severely criticized for describing human beings as being the ‘AIDS of the Earth.’ I make no apologies for that statement,” the column continued.

Watson was invoking the worst of Robert Malthus, an English political economist who claimed that mankind was overpopulating the earth. That claimed first appeared in the late 1700s. Watson urged some solutions for mankind as part of a process to “need to re-wild the planet”:"

Seeking Trophy Wife: M.R.S. Degree Required::By Mike S. Adams

"I have a friend who’s going through a rough time in his marriage. Recently, his wife told him she was moving out and getting an apartment for six months so she could “find herself.” In typical feminist fashion she asked him for some money to help pay for her lease, power, and cable deposits. One of her main criticisms of him was that he offered her unsolicited financial advice. Had she listened to her husband she wouldn’t be in such a fix. So I told my friend to give her a copy of the book Catch-22 instead of writing her a check. Maybe she could “find herself” in a twelve dollar novel by Joseph Heller. "

The French Election :: National Review Online

"Six months ago Johnny Hallyday, the “French Elvis,” announced that he was taking up Swiss citizenship to escape France’s high tax rates, which absorbed about two-thirds of his income. Because Hallyday was known to be a supporter of then-candidate Nicolas Sarkozy, a political row immediately burst out. Showing some political courage, Sarkozy did not disavow Hallyday; instead he declared that the singer was quite justified. If he won the election, said Sarkozy, he would cut tax rates to entice France’s high earners back home. "

That promise was important to many more people than Johnny Hallyday. Something like half a million young French people are estimated to be living in southern England. The Kent Corridor from London to Dover is known ironically as “France’s Silicon Valley.” And for every Parisian exile ten actual Parisians still seethe under high taxes and think about emigration. That sums up why Sarkozy won Sunday’s election.

Liberal ‘Scientists’ Lead Jihad Against Global-Warming Skeptics by Ivan Osorio, Iain Murray, and Myron Ebell

"On Oct. 30, 2006, Senators John D. Rockefeller (D.-W.Va.) and Olympia Snowe (R.-Maine) wrote an extraordinary open letter to ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson urging him to end his company’s support of “climate-change-denial front groups.” The only organization mentioned by name is the one that the authors of this article work for -- the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI). The senators’ letter then goes on to announce: “A study to be released in November by an American scientific group will expose ExxonMobil as the primary funder of no fewer than 29 climate-change-denial front groups in 2004 alone.”

The letter brought a strong reaction from the Wall Street Journal editorial page: “[I]f the senators are so afraid that a handful of policy wonks at a single small think tank are in danger of winning this debate, they must not have much confidence in their own case.” Home state newspapers also chided the senators."

Chikkkano Studies Gets a New Five-Year Plan by Lloyd Billingsley

"Late last month the board of the massive Los Angeles Unified School District quashed a charter school that was helping low-income students improve. At the same time they renewed the charter of an academically failing madrasssa for sixties-vintage Chicano radicalism, the racially exclusive kind that perceives 'Amerikkka' as the enemy.
The school the LA board turned down is Green Dot Public Schools, which teaches about 3,000 mostly black and Hispanic students. At one Green Dot campus the achievement of African Americans rose from less than 10 percent performing at or above the proficient level in mathematics to about 40 percent in just one year. The Green Dot high school graduation rate of nearly 80 percent far outpaces other district schools.

Green Dot has a waiting list of hundreds and wants to open new campuses in Watts but the board still nixed its renewal. However, the board's anti-charter animus, fueled by union politics, did not prevent approval of another, more politically correct charter school."

THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS: Why Leftist Ideology Fails

"Why isn't there a single example of a successful `People's Paradise'? How is it that the best of intentioned revolutionaries was never able to produce a single, sustainable and functional society? Why is it that societies that espouse economic equality and predicated on well meaning ideals, either secular or religious, have proved to be abject failures?

Leftists mistakenly believe that a collective `unity' of belief, thought and ideology empower a society. Their strength, they believe, are in the numbers of those who share their ideologies. Leftist believe that they have every right to design a society based on what they believe is in the best interest of that society. They also believe that an unwillingness to conform to their ideals, poses a threat, and quite possibly, a danger."

CNN’S Dobbs on ‘60 Minutes’: U.S. Could Deport All Illegals

"He has never called for the deportation of all illegal immigrants, but Lou Dobbs believes the U.S. could pull off such a feat if it really wanted to. The CNN anchor, whose stance against illegal immigration has helped raise his ratings but also fueled criticism, speaks to Lesley Stahl for a profile to be broadcast on 60 MINUTES Sunday, May 6 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Dobbs is against amnesty programs for illegal immigrants and the president’s guest worker proposal, so Stahl wonders whether Dobbs thinks the government could deport all illegal immigrants. “I’ve never called for their deportation,”says Dobbs. “But at the same time, when this president and open-borders, illegal-alien-amnesty advocates say, ‘You can’t deport them,’ my answer is, ‘You want to bet?’ because this is the United States. I think this country can do anything it sets its mind to,” he tells Stahl."

Facing Our Challenges By fred Thompson

"So we meet again, and I'm honored, because I know we're here for the same reasons: Love of our country and concern for our future.
A lot of Americans have these concerns tonight. They are concerned about the way things are going in our country right now. Some fear we may be in the first stages of decline. We've heard this malaise talk before.
Of course Iraq is a large part of it. Not only is it tough going, but the effort is besieged on all sides. From those playing the most crass kind of politics with it at home to criticism from around the world.
Even at home, as we enjoy the benefits from one of the best economies we've ever had, people seem uncertain; they raise concerns about global competition or a growing economic disparity among our citizens."

Dear Fellow Christians, Please Wake Up! - Chuck Baldwin

"I suppose there was a time in American politics when there was a significant difference between conservatives and liberals, between Republicans and Democrats, and between Christians and unbelievers. However, with only limited exceptions, that time has largely gone. When it comes to the salient issues that are currently waging war against America's future survival, it is extremely difficult to distinguish those differences.

If one removes the issues of abortion and gay rights from the debate, there is precious little that distinguishes the modern Christian conservative from his liberal counterpart.

Federal spending sure doesn't apply. President George W. Bush and his fellow 'conservative' Republicans have the dubious distinction of outspending practically every administration and Congress during the entire 20th century. Only the Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson administrations compare to the insatiable spending habits of the current administration."

Atlas Shrugs: HAMAS: “Islam will enter every house and will spread over the entire world”

"I am not sure if the enemy could more clearly state their intentions. I am sure the lamestream media, handmaiden to the Democratic party, will ignore this statement and continue to focus on the Democrats 'BLAME AMERICA!' message.
“Islam will enter every house and will spread over the entire world,” This is the message of the 'new unity' government that all the dhimmis in charge are embracing? STAND UP AMERICA AND FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.
How morally ill is Europe? Europe claims Israel preparing for war. G-d forbid the people of Israel defend themselves.
Europe is incapable of standing up for itself with65 million Muslims in Europe by 2037. So I wasn't surprised when EU officials met Hamas-led cabinet ministers. Solana is a pimp but why did the United States meet with Hamas as well?

Gates of Vienna: What Do We Fight For?

"I have tried to contribute to a new vocabulary by coining the word “Caucasophobia” for anti-white racism, and have suggested the term “self-termination” for organized Western self-loathing and the Western policy of unilaterally dismantling our own culture. Both terms are OK, but if somebody can come up with something better and more catchy, I’m all ears. One can say many bad things about the word “Islamophobia,” but it’s easy to understand and sticks in your mind. If the shariabots can come up with a word like that then infidels shouldn’t be any less inventive.

We are against Sharia and Jihad, but what are we for? What is Western civilization? What exactly sets it apart from others and makes it worth keeping? If we’re going to defend “freedom” and “Western civilization,” we need to define precisely what we are talking about."

Hating Whitey Worldwide by JOHN McWHORTER

If the top Democratic hopefuls are under the impression that the way to stop Third Worlders from hating America is to build schools in their countries, they need to think again.

On Tuesday, Senator Clinton floated the idea that we should spend 10 billion dollars over a five year period on schools and teachers in poor nations. The justification for this being that such schools could give children an alternative to the anti-Americanism they are so often steeped in these days. Senators Obama and Edwards are of similar mind as well.

It’s a nice idea, but I’m not sure these august persons quite understand how deeply seated the tribalist, us-againstthem impulse is in human beings.

I think about what happens every time I go to a linguistics conference in Europe. It happens not on the first night but the second, when a certain level of social comfort has been established, and not after the first glass of wine but the second. Someone asks me how my country could have elected “that idiot,” and for the next two hours most of the table engages in a civilized rant over how much they hate the Bush administration.

The Paradox of Secular Scientism By Jeffrey Osonitsch

It has become an accepted tenet of conventional wisdom to begin all discussions about science and nature with the understanding that religion has no place in such debates and that, in fact, faith is diametrically opposed to reason and scientific thought. To this end the concept of classical education, including any mention of God has been thoroughly removed from all Western public schools and replaced with a rather drab and mundane scientism.

This, however, need not be and was not always the case; in fact, Christian scholars had been on the cutting edge of scientific thought since the Middle Ages and the application of human reason to theological and later scientific questions has been a hallmark of Christianity since its very beginning - a fact which is evident to anyone who has read the work of Augustine and Aquinas, among others. How, then, did this notion of religion as the enemy of science first take root? And what are the dangers it poses to man and society?
