"Trying to satisfy the Muslim world by changing the US will not be effective unless the US is ready to end its values of freedom and liberty and adopt an Islamic Sharia system."

Hey, Obama! That reset button isn't working.


Gary Bauer, Campaign for Working Families, describes Janet Incompetano's ludicrous denial of the obvious.

Obama’s War On Reality

"Janet Napolitano, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, has a guest editorial in today’s USA Today. In it she manages to write about the Christmas Day attempted terrorist attack without ever mentioning words such as jihad, Islam, Muslim, war, etc. Our president no doubt loved it, since it completely reflects his view that we have a crime problem rather than a war problem with Islamofascists.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who only narrowly lost the chance to receive his 30 virgins on Christmas Day for killing us, had no confusion at all about what he was doing or why we was doing it. He didn’t see himself as a criminal. He wrote on his blog that as his Muslim faith strengthened, he began to have fantasies. He described his main fantasy with these chilling words: “I imagine how the great jihad will take place, how the Muslims will win insha Allah (Allah willing) and rule the whole world, and establish the greatest empire once again.”

Can you imagine a conversation between Barack Obama and Abdulmutallab?

Obama: “Islam is a religion of peace.”

Abdulmutallab: “I dream of killing the infidel!”

Obama: “Jihad means self-improvement.”

Abdulmutallab: “Jihad is holy war!”

Obama: “Come to my Ramadan dinner at the White House!”

Abdulmutallab: “Do you intend to feed me before I slit your throat?”

My point is simply this: No matter how many times our government officials and their liberal supporters mouth politically correct nonsense about our current predicament, the reality is that countless young Muslims from London to Gaza to Nigeria and even here are dreaming murderous dreams. The longer our leaders remain delusional, the more likely more of us will die."

Another Obama Lie

"Remember when President Obama addressed Congress and claimed that his healthcare reform would not provide taxpayer money for abortions? He was adamant about it. He suggested that anyone saying otherwise was intentionally misleading the public.

Fast forward to today. The Senate has passed a healthcare bill that funds abortions. The House has passed a healthcare bill that bans abortion funding. Guess which one of the two Obama wants to prevail? According to ABC News correspondent Jake Tapper, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told him Obama wants the pro-abortion Senate bill!"

"Newspapers wouldn’t have to test for ideological purity, (although if they did, they might find their staffs are made up completely of liberals). Just having one or two people on hand who think the federal government is too large and intrusive could make all the difference in how a potential story is covered."

Democrat Corruption: More of the Same


Statement of Project 21's Deneen Borelli on ACORN Report

New York, NY: Statement of Project 21 Fellow Deneen Borelli on Congressional Research Service ACORN report requested by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI, which absolves ACORN of allegations of misusing taxpayer money received over the past five years:

"Anyone who saw the video of undercover filmmakers being advised by several different ACORN offices on how to break tax laws and set up brothels can figure that taxpayer money is likely being misspent somewhere by this radical group. Representative Conyers' refusal to conduct an investigation of ACORN, and ignoring the pleas of his colleagues in the process, is appalling.

"Now, it seems as if he is going to try to hide behind a report he commissioned from a research service controlled by the congressional leadership of which he is a member. This doesn't pass the smell test. There are plenty of things suspect about ACORN. Just watch the video. Or talk to prosecutors in several cities currently conducting investigations of ACORN-related vote fraud. Or read about how former a ACORN bookkeeper may have embezzled as much as $5 million from the group.

"Americans are appalled that taxpayers' funds are supporting the work of ACORN. The fact that ACORN receives hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal grants is reason enough for a formal Congressional investigation even without the allegations of wrongdoing.

"For Conyers to question the need for a bipartisan oversight hearing on ACORN is akin to his questioning of the need to read the health care bill earlier this year. It raises the question: What exactly are his responsibilities in his mind? Why are taxpayers paying his salary?"

Obama's Black Unemployment Problem


Roy Beck, Numbers USA, examines Obama's racial dilemma and his failure to understand the basic problem.

Stung by Criticism He's Abandoning Black Poor, Pres. Obama Ignores Easiest & Biggest Solution
Roy Beck
By Roy Beck

Acknowledging that unemployment among Black Americans is agonizingly high, Pres. Obama says it would be inappropriate to do anything aimed just at Blacks.

He says he must help Blacks with actions that also help other Americans and that he continues to look for those solutions.

Like all people blinded by ideology, Mr. Obama is his own worst enemy in not seeing that reducing overall immigration is in fact a magic solution that meets all his criteria.

Quote of the Day


"Even today more is being discovered in the bill that will outrage the public and could still derail this big government locomotive. Conservative warrior Senator DeMint just found on page 1020 of the bill a provision that says, “…it shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change” the Independent Medicare Advisory Board.

That is the Board whose purpose is to ration our healthcare – the infamous “death panel” as Sarah Palin so wisely labeled it. The Reid/ Pelosi gang are trying to prevent any future Senate – even one with 100 conservative senators – from getting rid of it. They won’t succeed!

What will we do? We will continue to fight. We will expose their outrages. We will use the courts. We will insist that the Constitution become relevant again. We will demonstrate, register voters and educate our friends and neighbors. We will beat the Left at the polls in November 2010 and send Obama packing in 2012.

The gang running Washington thinks we will ultimately surrender to their power and cynical political maneuverings. They are wrong."

Quote of the Day


"Isn’t it amazing? An imam in America can call for “uzi jihad” against this country; Hizb ut-Tahrir can call for the victory of Islam over all other religions; the Qur’an can defame Jews by calling them apes and pigs…

…but don’t dare point out these facts, or else you might be guilty of “defaming” Islam!

In the forefront of this free speech double-standard in America is the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). For years CAIR has tarred critics of radical Islam as “Islamophobes,” “bigots,” and the like—simply for pointing out the truth about radical Islam."

Obama treats Americans like the Proverbial Red-Headed Stepchild


Senator Whitehouse needs to get off his high horse...

Statement of Project 21's Bob Parks on
Senator Whitehouse Comments

Washington D.C. This statement was issued today by Bob Parks of the national black leadership network Project 21:

"President Obama's almost-constant apologies to the world for the our nation's actions and his socialist economic policies at home have energized a normally lethargic American people into gathering in American cities and storming the steps of the Capitol in protest. Senator Whitehouse would have us all just shut up and give Obama his political victories unchallenged. Not doing so makes us all guilty of unprecedented rudeness and - dare I say it - racism.

"Despite liberals' historically dismal and revisionist civil rights history, when things with this President fall apart, they are all too willing to resort to playing the race card. The problem is - whether it's the Black Panthers in Philadelphia or Professor Gates in Cambridge - Barack Obama and his administration have conducted themselves so poorly in office that the race label really doesn't bruise the skin anymore.

"If President Obama had not entered the presidency with his signature arrogance, the American people may have had more patience, but he and his liberal allies have talked down to the American people like we were stepchildren they were forced to tolerate. Statements like those of Senator Whitehouse only further harden the opposition's resolve."

During Senate debate on the Obamacare bill on December 20, Senator Whitehouse said: "They are desperate to break this president. They have ardent supporters who are nearly hysterical at the very election of President Barack Obama. The birthers, the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Barack Obama should exist. That is one powerful reason. It is not the only one."

Quote of the Day

"The enraptured global warming radicals at the Copenhagen conference rewarded Chavez with a standing ovation for his anti-freedom diatribe, telling us everything we need to know about the modern radical environmental movement headed by Al Gore.

If you have any doubt that many global warming extremists are self-proclaimed communists and socialists - CLICK HERE for an AFP video showing these extremists marching through the streets of Copenhagen.

President Obama had an opportunity to stand up and defend the economic freedoms of our great nation, which have made America the greatest and most prosperous on earth.

Instead, he chose to pander to his adoring supporters abroad, saying: "America will fulfill the commitments that we have made: cutting our emissions in the range of 17 percent by 2020, and by more than 80 percent by 2050 in line with final legislation."

Clearly, President Obama wants to join these radicals in signing a binding international treaty that will bring cap-and-trade-style energy taxes and energy rationing to our nation."

Obama Expands the Murder of Innocent Human Beings


Tony Perkins, Family Research Council discusses the intimate relationship between Obama and the countries main killer of African American babies.

Commander in Mischief

President Obama may have given himself a "good solid B-plus" on his first year, but you can bet that Planned Parenthood is giving him much higher marks--especially after its Secret Santa gifted millions more in taxpayer-funded abortion. When the President inked his name on the $447 billion Omnibus bill yesterday, he was effectively signing the check for tens of thousands of D.C. abortions. Maybe that explains why ABC News is reporting that the President "seemed a little embarrassed about the whole deal, refusing to sign the bill in public or even to release a photograph."

Despite his call to "reduce abortions," this White House is freeing up more taxpayer dollars for the slaughter of innocent unborn children than any President in U.S. history. Initiatives like the "National Task Force to Reduce Abortions" and the promise that "No federal dollars will be used to fund abortions" appear to be nothing more than a facade. It masks an administration that has done nothing to reduce abortion--but everything in its power to expand it. Remember, barely 24 hours into his first term, this President immediately set to work undoing years of pro-life policy. Among President Obama's first acts was lifting a ban on taxpayer-funded abortion--overturning the Mexico City policy just one day after the 35th March for Life. Today, he's carrying on that tradition in his own backyard, forcing taxpayers to finance the procedure in a city with the highest abortion rate in the country (2005). The same will be done for the rest of the nation if the President succeeds in passing his so-called healthcare reform bill presently in the Senate. The same man who asked, "How can we reduce the number of abortions?" refuses to accept the easy answer: stop paying for them!


Obamacare Drama


The Traditional Values Coalition notes the latest on the Obamacare debacle.

Drama-rama Over Obamacare Continues In Senate Republicans Fight Back

Drama-rama Over Obamacare Continues In Senate Republicans Fight Back

The drama-rama continues over the Senate’s Obamacare bill. President Obama promised an open process in crafting a health care bill, but it has been done mostly in secret and changes hourly.

President Obama’s henchmen are trying to stave off defections from the Left, which is meltdown over their beloved “public-option" being pulled. Uber-leftist Howard Dean is leading the charge to have the Democrats start over again.

As of the afternoon of December 17, it doesn'’t appear that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has 60 votes to assure passage of his plan to nationalize our health care system.

"The Progressive bullies in Congress always pick on the politically weak in society, in this case it happens to be young people, it's not like they are reliable voters anyway, and their perennial favorites, "The Rich" who will pay the freight to provide an insurance subsidy for the politically favored classes.

Will health insurance reform really be the rallying cry Progressives use to justify re-instituting a modern day version of Slavery in America?"

"Senate Republicans should demand that the Senate—and the American people—be given time over the holidays thoroughly examine this labyrinthine measure. Then, the politicians should honestly consult with their constituents, and, this time around, actually listen to their responses. In the meantime, it's high time the Republicans employ every parliamentary trick in the book to delay and deny any vote this year.

The fact is, the best way to ensure the "public option" is dead in 2009 is to not vote on this legislation at all."

Quote of the Day

Al Gore Melts Down

Al Gore, the former politician masquerading as a renowned scientist, has done it again. He told attendees at the Copenhagen climate change summit yesterday that Arctic ice would be completely gone in five years. Gore cited Dr. Wieslav Maslowski as his source “that there is a 75% chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice free within five to seven years.”

As you can imagine, Gore’s assertion made headlines all over the world this morning and is being used by the-sky-is-falling crowd to demand another major take-over of world economies by government. There is only one little detail that Gore has to clear up: Dr. Maslowski has made no such claim. He told the few reporters who actually called him that, “It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at. I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.”

When told about Gore’s claim, Dr. Jim Overland, a leading oceanographer at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, responded, “This is an exaggeration that opens the science up to criticism from skeptics.” You have that right, professor!

Here’s the amazing thing, my friends: Al Gore is still given credibility. A month ago he claimed that the interior of the earth “is extremely hot, several million degrees.” But most scientists believe the temperature of the earth’s core is 5,000 degrees Celsius while some contrarians argue it is 9,000 degrees Celsius. If the core of the earth were several million degrees, the earth would be a star! Of course the upside would be that Al Gore would no longer be walking around spouting nonsense and calling it science.

Al Gore is getting very rich on his sham science. In fact, he is well on his way to becoming the world’s first global warming billionaire. But if his policies become law, the rest of us will be very poor.

Obama’s Report Card

Last weekend ABC aired a “White House Christmas Special” with the Obamas and Oprah Winfrey. During the interview, Oprah asked Barack what grade he would give himself through his first 11 months as president. Instead of giving a generic answer avoiding any actual letter grade, Obama had the boldness to proclaim he thinks he has earned a “good, solid B+.” Really, Mr. President? A B+? I don’t think so.

· History- F: Barack Obama’s first 11 months have been filled with international speeches apologizing to the world for all our failures and mistakes. He refuses to acknowledge American exceptionalism and has even said “no one country should dominate another.” I would think that a man who received a law degree from Harvard University would know that throughout history there have always been nations and civilizations that dominate others.

· Science- D-: Barack Obama is still a staunch advocator for the theory of global warming. Despite the recent “Climategate” scandal, and data that show the average global temperature hasn’t risen in 10 years, Obama is determined to sign a treaty that promises to cut American carbon emissions even if it means crippling our economy- all based on false science.

· Mathematics- D: Obama can’t add. He still does not understand that when the federal government spends money uncontrollably, our debt will continue to grow. Our debt is at $12 trillion and counting, with more government spending on the horizon. Not only is spending like this irresponsible, but it harms our national security with countries like China, which underwrites the majority of our debt.

· Geography- D: According to Barack Obama, Israel is the biggest obstacle to peace in the Middle East. This even though its seven million citizens are surrounded by 250 million Muslims, many of whom seek Israel’s destruction. He obviously hasn’t looked at a map! Obama’s relationship with Israel has been tense to say the least. He is convinced that the Jewish people should not have the right to build homes in their country’s capital.

· Spelling- D-: His Vice President, Joe Biden, apparently never passed this class in grade school. During the campaign last year Biden famously said, “Look, John (McCain)’s last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as BaraItalicck says, a three letter word: J-O-B-S.”

Typically, with grades like these, there is opportunity for improvement. But with this administration, not even a tutor would help.

Quote of the Day


"Mahdi Bray of the Muslim American Society just can't figure out how these young Muslims turned to jihad violence. The Muslim American Society is the Muslim Brotherhood:

"In recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation's major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members." -- Chicago Tribune, 2004.

"The Muslim Brotherhood "must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions." -- "An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America," by Mohamed Akram, May 19, 1991.

The Islamic Circle of North America is also a Brotherhood organization.

Are you starting to get an idea as to how these young men became "radicalized"? So am I."
