Pendleton 8 Exposed–The Real Story, Part 1 :: Euphoric Reality

Two years ago the nation was shocked to hear of Marines coming home from the battlefield in shackles. This is not how we treat our heroes, not when they are highly decorated, highly trained, and even more experienced. It was preposterous, we said, to charge Marines with murder for shooting the enemy. Isn’t that what we train them to do? ...

From Tom Burnett Sr: A petition to stop the Flight 93 Memorial :: Dhimmi Watch

The planned Flight 93 Memorial contains extensive Islamic symbolism. It is an insult to my son Tom, and to the other murdered heroes of Flight 93 who stopped Islamic terrorists from destroying the White House or the Capitol that terrible September day.

Please consider signing this online petition that I and some compatriots have put together. It calls for a new memorial design, and for investigation of the present design. If you want to do more, feel free to forward or post this appeal. ...

Eliot Spitzer, David Brooks, and the “Coming White Underclass” by Nicholas Stix

The white poor, working, and lower-middle classes, the guys who step up and serve as policemen, firemen, jail guards, infantrymen, Marines, and in the special forces, those are the guys that the Bill Clintons, George W. Bushes, and Eliot Spitzers think are idiots. ...

Leftist Evangelicals On Obama Bandwagon by Frederick Meekins

Just because some white liberals are going out of their way to vote for Barack Obama for no other reason than that he happens to be half-black, some within the Evangelical leadership are once again beating on their drums about congregations being too split along racial and ethnic lines. ...

A Nuclear Fait Accompli: Taking the Nazi Road to War By Dr. Brian Melton

Recently, Iran announced that it has once again begun to expand on its controversial uranium enrichment program. It plans to vastly increase the number and quality of centrifuges in its plants, but once again assures the nations of the world that its intentions are entirely “peaceful.” I feel certain that the worst the Iranians will face is another wild round of vicious report-writing at the U.N. and saber rattling by Bush and his allies. In the end, Iran will most likely receive a strongly worded note, which it will pile with all the others it has received. In practical terms, nothing will happen, the centrifuges will spin away with ever increasing efficiency to their “peaceful” end, and the West will continue to wander wistfully down a path that the Nazi’s led it down within some people’s living memory. ...

Evil Money By Deroy Murdock

Turn your clock back 70 years. Imagine that Wall Street banks and brokerage houses sold Nuremberg-compliant bonds and stock funds in 1938. American Nazi sympathizers bought financial instruments certified by Berlin-based advisors as free of “Jewish profits” from, say, Salomon Brothers and Bloomingdale’s. ...

Obama Promises to Dismantle Our Armed Forces by Robert Maginnis

YouTube has an undated 52-second clip of Democratic presidential candidate Senator Barrack Obama outlining his plans for America’s national defense. Obama’s presentation demonstrates either total naivete about important national security programs or he is just pandering for votes among the extreme left.

Watch Obama’s message and consider some inconvenient facts about his national security promises....

Iran: Taking the Nazi Road to War By Brian Melton

Regarding a proposed invasion of Czechoslovakia in April, 1938, Adolf Hitler said: "Fait accomplis must convince foreign powers of the hopelessness of intervention.?  

Recently, Iran has announced that it has once again begun to expand on its controversial uranium enrichment program. It plans to vastly increase the number and quality of centrifuges in its plants, but once again assures the nations of the world that its intentions are entirely “peaceful.” ...

Better SAVE Than Sorry By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY

Why would nearly 50 Democrats not allow legislation they co-sponsored to get to the House floor for a vote? Because their boss, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, doesn't want meaningful immigration reform that protects our borders.

It's a tad unnatural for House Republicans to be pushing a so-called discharge petition to force a vote on a piece of Democratic legislation. But such is the case with the Secure America with Verification and Enforcement Act, or SAVE, authored by freshman Democratic Rep. Heath Shuler of North Carolina.

Substitute teacher blows the whistle on publicly-funded Minnesota madrasa :: Dhimmi Watch

Recently I wrote about the Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (TIZA) in Minneapolis, which appears to be an Islamic academy that receives public funding. I depended for my information largely on the work of the indefatigable and courageous journalist Katherine Kersten, who now has new information about this school.

"Teacher breaks wall of silence at state's Muslim public school," by Katherine Kersten for the Star Tribune (thanks to all who sent this in): ...

Why Is The Department Of Homeland Security Funding The "Hardening" Of Florida Mosques? By William Mayer and Beila Rabinowitz

The Department of Homeland Security - [DHS] a cabinet level department - was created, with legislation signed into law by President Bush on November 25, 2002 as part of a governmental reorganization conducted post 9/11.

As part of this plan seven heretofore independent agencies have been rolled into this new bureaucracy - the Transportation Security Administration [TSA], U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration, U.S. Secret Service, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Coast Guard. ...

Student attacked for anti-illegal immigration stance by Cassy Fiano

Usually, when teachers assign politically charged homework, students are supposed to rigidly toe the liberal line. I guess Melanie Bowers didn't get the message, because she decided to do her project on anti-illegal immigration. Her poster said, "If you love our nation, stop illegal immigration." A group of latino students got angry, and jumped her in the hallways, hitting her, and threatening to rape and kill her. When Melanie reported the incident and asked to call her parents, school officials refused and told her to go back to class. Unbelievable on so many levels. Here's the story: ...

When Higher Education Isn’t By R.R. Reno

Law professors are the last intellectuals. While most academics grind away in their disciplines, the folks in the law schools seem to have the confidence and freedom to think and write about things far removed from the technical world of law. Stephen Carter at Yale writes novels. Alan Dershowitz at Harvard is a member of the book-a-year club. Richard Posner is now a judge, but he remains the paradigmatic law professor: a man to write books with theories about everything. ...

'Slippery slope' of homosexual agenda infiltrating Pentagon, says observer By Chad Groening

A conservative military watchdog says the Pentagon has set a disturbing precedent in allowing a homosexual member of Congress to take her "domestic partner" with her on a congressional fact-finding trip to Europe. 

According to Politico.com, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) successfully intervened with Defense Secretary Robert Gates in order to get Tammy Baldwin's (D-Wisconsin) "domestic partner" Lauren Azar on the military flight in question. ...

The message of 'Fitna' By Henrik R Clausen

Now the much-anticipated mini-movie 'Fitna' by the Dutch politician Geert Wilders has been out for a couple of weeks. Since this didn't cause the world to end, it seems timely to go through it and figure out what the fuss was about, and what the message of the movie really is. ...

The Funny Side of Islam: Muhammad and the Hadith By Fjordman

Iranian Islamic leader the Ayatollah Khomeini once said that “There is no fun in Islam.” I disagree. Islam can be quite funny; it just isn’t intended to be so. I have long said that Islam’s weakest point is mockery. Any enemy will reveal what he fears the most, if you listen to him closely. Muslims fear criticism or mockery of their religion more than they fear death. ...

The Siren Call of Censorship for Peace :: JAWA Report

Indian website Techtree reports that the predominantly Muslim country of Indonesia has banned YouTube, Google Video, MySpace, et. al. for allowing posting of the anti-Islamist video Fitna.

But Techtree's reporting carries a large dose of blame-shifting:

Before you upload an anti-Allah/Quran article, video, or cartoon, do think about whether the people affected by it will be able to view it. Or perhaps how much loss you're about to cause the Web site and people who use it, that hosts the blasphemous content in Muslim countries.

Got that? ...
