UK School Officials Fearful of Muslim Thugs

This is a disturbing story you are about to read. I'll make comments after the article.

From Atlas Shrugs:

Classroom apartheid: Teachers who were afraid to discipline thuggish minority of Muslim pupils for fear of being branded racist

"Muslim thugs terrorize classrooms. These 'students' with their claw hammer weapons and their mobile phones with the World Trade Centers burning screensavers. Well, why not? It is all part of the global jihad.

Classroom apartheid: Teachers who were afraid to discipline thuggish minority of Asian pupils for fear of being branded racist By Paul Bracchi 30th October 2009


'He gave his name as Henry Webster when he stepped into the witness box at the High Court in London last week. But he wasn't the Henry Webster his family and friends remember.

The real Henry Webster was a strapping 6ft 2in rugby player, not someone who struggled to string sentences together and had to be given painkillers to complete his evidence.

Instead of preparing for college or university, he has been left with learning difficulties, short-term memory loss, and epilepsy. Henry will settle for that because the alternative would have meant not being here at all.


Victim: Henry Webster with his mother Elizabeth Webster at court where he is fighting to win damages from Ridgeway School in Swindon

This is the only upside of being attacked with a claw hammer that left an inch-deep impression on his skull.

One claw hammer and 12 teenage [Muslim] thugs versus one young man. Those were the odds when a gang of Asian (Muslim) youths ambushed him.

After their work was done, his attackers punched the air in triumph - 'that's what you call Paki bashing,' they yelled.

The thugs have all been jailed. Not all the culprits, however, have been brought to book - not in the eyes of Henry's family, anyway. They believe teachers at his school, near Swindon - where the assault took place in 2007 when Henry was just 15 - are as guilty as the actual perpetrators themselves.

Why? Because, they say, the school allowed ethnic minority pupils to get away with flagrant misbehaviour, and then handed them less severe punishments than their white classmates because staff feared they might otherwise be accused of racism.

In other words, a culture of 'educational apartheid' prevailed in all but name at Ridgeway School.

Had this not been the case, Henry's parents insist, their son would probably not have sustained brain damage outside the school tennis courts one day in January nearly three years ago.

They have now brought a civil action against Ridgeway and are seeking compensation of up to £1 million. The allegations amount to a devastating indictment not just of Ridgeway, but of policies that were supposed to lead to integration, not segregation, in our schools.

Our own investigation into the events which culminated in Henry Webster being left for dead within walking distance of his classroom does little to counter that view.

Remember, this is not some inner city hell hole. Swindon (population 200,000) is often used for market research purposes precisely because it is considered to be a typical British town; neither the best nor the worst place to live, just average.

Ridgeway School, too, is average. Only about 70 - 5 per cent - of the 1,400 or so pupils are from ethnic minorities.

Exam results are good, and the school continues to receive glowing government reports. Only last year, Ridgeway's headmaster Steven Colledge, who took over in September 2006, was praised by Ofsted inspectors as "Outstanding" for his "leadership and management" skills.

But anyone who saw his performance on Channel 4 News the day after Henry Webster was attacked might beg to differ.

"I think there is always a danger where there is a mixture of races and peoples which reflect the community we live in that any tension that might exist, any little scuffle or fight, can be twisted to be much more of a major thing than it really is," he told the cameras.

No, this is not a misquotation. He really did use the words 'little scuffle' to describe the attack in which Henry Webster was left brain damaged.

Furthermore, in the immediate aftermath, neither the "outstanding" Mr Colledge nor any of his colleagues visited the Webster family or even sent a get well card. Mr Colledge later told a governors' inquiry that gestures such as sending cards or flowers "were not in his nature".

Parents and former staff say that multiculturalism at Ridgeway, under his leadership, meant pupils on both sides of the religious and cultural divide breathing the same air but sharing very little else.

Asian (Muslim) youngsters, we have been told, had their own officially designated meeting room which, to all intents and purposes, became the unofficial base for a 30-strong crew known as the "Asian Invasion" and the "Broad Street Massive".

Many, if not all 12, of those convicted of assaulting Henry belonged to the gang and lived mainly in the vicinity of Broad Street in Swindon. Four of them were still pupils at Ridgeway. They would often call older relatives and friends from outside school to settle disputes.

One such was Wasif Khan, then 18, who was the person who wielded the claw hammer. He was a "wannabe militant", according to the police, and carried on his mobile phone a screensaver of the collapse of the World Trade Centre. A number of accomplices used social networking sites to communicate their message.'"


Political correctness gone mad! Yes, violence in schools occurs in all religions. That is not the issue here. The disturbing aspect of this crime is the weak response by the school headmaster to the severity of the crimes committed by the young Muslim thugs and his history of refusing to discipline these gansters.

A crime must be punished whether it is committed by a Muslim, Christian, Jew, etc. The religion of the perpetrator should not be a factor. When authorities are fearful and refuse to confront evil acts by those of the "religion of peace", they are only emboldening them to commit more crimes.

The Brits had better step up to the plate and do something about Islamic violence, and NOW, or they will lose their country. Perhaps, America should play close attention. It seems that much of what happens there eventually comes our way.

The Argument Against Climate Change

Pay particular attention to the comments beginning at 6:00.

Radicals in the White House

America, is this what you voted for when you fell for the candidate of "hope and change"? You may find that what you read below sounds more like a nightmare out of the old Soviet Union.

Read from the American Thinker:

All the President's Mao
By Mac Fuller

"President Obama and 'the other side of Barack's brain,' Valerie Jarrett -- whose stepfather coincidentally maintained close ties with the President's adolescent mentor and Communist, Frank Marshall Davis -- handpicked the following bureaucrats and placed them in positions of great authority, power, and visibility:

Van Jones, 'Green Jobs Czar,' self-defined Communist.

Ron Bloom, 'Manufacturing Czar' cites Chairman Mao as a political guide.

Anita Dunn, White House Communications Director, who stated in an address to high school students this past June that Chairman Mao Tse-tung was one of the two 'philosophers' she most often turns to.

President Obama handpicked and placed the Socialists and socialist sympathizers in positions of great authority and visibility:

Carol Browner, Director, White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy, an ardent Socialist activist and one of 14 leaders of Socialist International's, 'Commission for a Sustainable World Society,' which calls for 'global governance.'

Cass Sunstein, Administrator of the White House Office of Administration and Regulatory Affairs , 'who openly argues for bringing socialism to the United States, and even lends support for communism....'

How many others, handpicked by Mr. Obama and Ms. Jarrett, are there?

Here is China's Communist Chairman, Mao Tse-tung (whose name, oddly enough means, 'to shine on the East') in his own words, at the age of 24, before he became supreme ruler of all China as well as the mass murderer responsible for the death of 70,000,000 people -- in peacetime:


'Mao expressed the central elements in his own character, which stayed consistent for the remaining six decades of his life and defined his rule.

Mao's attitude to morality consisted of one core, the self, "I," above everything else (Remind you of anyone? ELL):


"I do not agree with the view that to be moral, the motive of one's action has to be benefiting others. Morality does not have to be defined in relation to others... People like me want to ... satisfy our hearts to the full, and in doing so we automatically have the most valuable moral codes. Of course there are people and objects in the world, but they are all there only for me."*


Mao shunned all constraints of responsibility and duty.


"People like me only have a duty to ourselves; we have no duty to other people." "I am responsible only for the reality that I know," he wrote, "and absolutely not responsible for anything else. I don't know about the past. I don't know about the future. They have nothing to do with the reality of my own self."


He explicitly rejected any responsibility towards future generations.


"Some say one has a responsibility for history. I don't believe it. I am only concerned about developing myself... I have my desire and act on it. I am responsible to no one."


....


He argued that conscience could go to hell if it was in conflict with his impulses:


"These two should be one and the same. All our actions...are driven by impulse, and the conscience that is wise goes along with this in every instance."


....


When he came to the question, "How do we change [China]?" Mao laid the utmost emphasis on destruction:


"...the country must be...destroyed and then re-formed."


He extended this line not just to China but to the whole world -- and event the universe:


"This applies to the country, the nation, and to mankind... The destruction of the universe is the same... People like me long for its destruction, because when the old universe is destroyed, a new universe will be formed. Isn't that better!"*'


President Obama's White House Communications Director, Anita Dunn, on Chairman Mao: he is one of my two 'favorite political philosophers,' and 'one of the two who I turned to the most....'

President Obama's 'Manufacturing Czar,' Ron Bloom on the free market system and Chairman Mao: 'We get the joke. We know that the free market is nonsense.... We know this is largely about power....We kind of agree with Mao, that power comes from the barrel of a gun.'

William Ayers, President Obama's unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist bomber, friend, fellow board member, 'respected' national educator, virulently anti-American, and likely ghost writer of the President's autobiography, Dreams of My Father:


'I am a radical, Leftist, small "c" Communist.... Maybe I am the last Communist willing to admit it.... The ethics of Communism still appeal to me.'"


Do these people reflect the values of average Americans? I don't think so. America, you done been swindled.

Moral of the story: Don't trust the American Pravda to investigate political candidates. Do that yourself.

"A Setback for the Supporters of Democracy"

Obama has been busy working on behalf of fellow thug politicians. How about he uses some of these bullying tactics against some of our real enemies, like perhaps Iran, North Korea, or Russia, to name a few.

Read from Hot Air:

Zelaya returned to power

"Now we know why John Kerry demanded that the Law Library of Congress withdraw its report declaring the removal of Manuel Zelaya from the Honduran presidency legal, weeks after the issuance of the report. Honduras, under new pressure from the US, has agreed to allow Zelaya to return as president to the Central American nation under an agreement announced this morning. However, there is one piece of good news, assuming Zelaya keeps his word:


'The interim government of Honduras has yielded to international pressure and agreed to allow the return to power of Manuel Zelaya, the ousted President who was toppled in a military coup four months ago.

The breakthrough came after renewed pressure from senior US officials who travelled to Honduras this week for a last-ditch effort to end the crisis.

"It is a triumph for Honduran democracy," said Mr Zelaya after the rival sides agreed to a deal under which he may be reinstated as President within days.'


Well, no, it’s actually not a triumph for Honduran democracy. The parliament in Tegulcigapa had voted unanimously for his removal after Zelaya attempted to violate the nation’s constitution and fake a referendum vote, for which ample evidence existed. It’s actually a triumph for American interventionalism, which this administration pretended to eschew. So much for a humble foreign policy.

The problem should be short-lived, however (emphasis mine):


'Mr Micheletti said that Mr Zelaya could return to office after a vote in Congress that would be authorised by the country’s Supreme Court. He said that the deal would require both sides to recognise the result of a presidential election due to take place on November 29 and would transfer control of the army to the top electoral court.

The United States, the European Union and Latin American leaders had all demanded that Mr Zelaya be allowed to finish his presidential term, which ends in January. They had said that they might not recognise the winner of the November election unless democracy was first restored.'


Zelaya had attempted to use the army to promulgate his illegal referendum on allowing presidents to seek more than one term, with ballots stashed for the purpose. Now he won’t have any authority over the army at all, which will temporarily take its orders from the court. Meanwhile, the elections that even Zelaya’s own party wanted will go forward, without Zelaya able to seek a second term (and without Micheletti as well). In other words, he may be president, but he’s already a lame duck — with a very, very hostile parliament to boot.

Rumor has it that Zelaya initially refused to sign the agreement, and that he had to be prodded to do so. It’s not hard to see why. He gets to return home, but essentially gets to sit in an office for a few weeks and do nothing. Assuming he doesn’t lead some sort of coup d’etat himself on his return to Honduras, which would make the Obama administration look even more inept in this circumstance, Zelaya is out of power for good.

Update: Be sure to read Fausta’s roundup from the region.

Update II: Law Library of Congress to John Kerry: Pound sand."


Great comment from Fausta's Blog:

"It is perfectly fitting that the signal diplomatic triumph of President Obama’s first year in office is the restoration to power of the lawfully deposed Honduran thug and friend of Fidel Castro, Daniel Ortega and Hugh Chavez. It is inimical to the national interest of the United States. It is a setback for the supporters of democracy in the beleaguered country of Honduras. And it is a defeat for those who believe in the rule of law. It is, in other words, a triumph of 'smart diplomacy.'"

Beware of Hope and Change

From the American Thinker:

Hello, My Name Is...
By Melissa Cross

"You should've seen it! If you could have been there, you would have been amazed. It is surreal to see the crowd below you, at your feet, swooning at the hysteria of your very voice. They shout, 'I love you,' and women scream as I enter the arena. Cheering turns to adulation, and I offered them promises of hope and change. Our nation is in dire straits. Our constitution needs to be clarified, and policies need to be changed to remake this great nation to something the world will be proud of. I will be the revolutionary leader that the people so desperately crave!

How far have I come from my roots? My father was poor boy born in a foreign village. He was noticed and got a job as a government employee. He didn't have any interest in my upbringing and had other children by other women. I was raised by my mother. More often than not, I felt alienated from my father. The last time I saw him I was in my teens. Many people have questioned my origins and particularly my birthplace but I have overcome the roots of my family tree.

Look at me now. My people see me as a gifted man, and I am hailed as the savior of my country. I am admired throughout the world. Masses of people flock to see me -- particularly the working class and women -- and I inspire them to action. People shed tears when I speak. Children sing about me in classrooms. I have restored our country's national pride. I will deliver change to my people!

Writing was the catalyst for my career. I wrote my first book in my mid-thirties. It is an autobiography with insights into my childhood years and growth into political thought. My second book was released shortly thereafter, and it provides a deeper understanding of my political ideas. Meanwhile, I was working as a community organizer and politician. My books, accompanied by my speeches, caught the attention of a nation. I was hailed as an excellent orator, a powerful organizer, and an agent of change for my country.

Before I was elected as the leader of my country, we were in grave peril. My country has a bad reputation in the eyes of the world. The actions of my government were seen as dishonest, treacherous, and verging on war crimes. I will correct this going forward. I will make my nation a nation among many. I am calling for a new world order -- change that everyone in the world can believe in.

My country is experiencing one of the largest economic crises in its history. I will offer solutions. I will clamp down on big business and provide government options to take over the industry. Our current system rewards those that are greedy and exploits those that are economically weak. I will offer healthcare for every man, woman, and child in the nation. I will remove the greedy from their positions of power and cut their salaries, and the government will take control to ensure that everyone in our nation will have a job. I will eliminate this atrocious debt, correct our position in current wars, and restore our nation to greatness.

My term has just begun, but I have plans for our future as a nation. I invite you into history to watch as it unfolds. I call you back, not towards better politics, but to your higher selves -- to a place where our country exists as a glittering ideal...an ideal that we, its honored inhabitants, are capable of achieving.

Hello, my name is Adolf Hitler.

I'm sorry, were you thinking I was someone else?

When millions of people surrender their hearts and minds to one person, the result can be catastrophic. This is what happened in Germany with Hitler, in China with Mao, in the Soviet Union with Stalin, in Cuba with Castro, in Iran with Khomeini, and so on and so forth. Today, we think these men were monsters, but that was not what their millions of worshipers thought. Those people loved them. Dictators can't dictate unless people are willing to submit."

Research References


WOW! The parallels are striking. No invasions of other countries and no murder of Jews, and Obama looks just like Hitler. Of course, if he keeps up with the anti-Israeli foreign policy of allowing the Iranians to get nukes, millions of Jews could be killed once again. Then, we'd have to strike that one difference away from the Obama-Hitler comparison.

Scozzafava Quits

YES!!! Conservatism triumphs once again. We don't want RINOs in our party. Let them go over to the Democrats where they belong. When the Republican Party wises up and elects candidates who favor low taxes and smaller government, we win. It's as simple as that.

State Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava, the Republican candidate for the open 23rd District seat in New York, suspended her campaign today amid lagging poll numbers and lackluster fundraising. The move clears the way for Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman, who had been gaining support from the national party and is in a dead heat with businessman Bill Owens (D), according to a Siena College poll out Saturday morning.

The greatest trick of all:

The Newest Snake Oil Healthcare Plan

From Gateway Pundit

Let's familiarize ourselves with the latest ObamaCare bill, via Joshua Pundit:

The Obamacare Bill - Frankenstein's Trillion Dollar Monster

"Nancy Pelosi finally unveiled the new ObamaCare bill.

It's been deliberately constructed to be difficult to understand and read, and is rampant with thick, impenetrable legalese. It's 1,990 pages, longer than Tolstoy's "War And Peace" and has over 400,000 words.

Here's a sample paragraph:


'(a) Outpatient Hospitals – (1) In General – Section 1833(t)(3)(C)(iv) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395(t)(3)(C)(iv)) is amended – (A) in the first sentence – (i) by inserting “(which is subject to the productivity adjustment described in subclause (II) of such section)” after “1886(b)(3)(B)(iii); and (ii) by inserting “(but not below 0)” after “reduced”; and (B) in the second sentence, by inserting “and which is subject, beginning with 2010 to the productivity adjustment described in section 1886(b)(3)(B)(iii)(II).'


The printout of the bill weighs over 19 pounds and is almost nearly nine inches high.

While Pelosi and her friends are citing the cost as a mere $894 million, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office puts the cost at $1.055 trillion.

Of course, both estimates are fantasy low ball. Since the bill has no provisions to allow anyone to check on people's legal status, the actual costs will be quite a bit higher as a new wave of illegal aliens comes across our non-borders to take advantage.

You can't blame them in the least - I'd do exactly the same thing.

I'm still trying to digest at least the basics.

The 'death panel' provision survived.It had to, to even have a prayer of making even the fudged numbers look remotely correct.And yes Sarah Palin was entirely correct about this one.

So did the abortion provisions.

It calls for a vast expansion of MedicAid, which is already a major sinkhole for tax dollars as it is. and a part of why California's economy is in the proverbial toilet.

And yes, it does have a provision for a government run 'public option'.

Much is being made of the expected deficit reduction, estimated at $140 billion over the next decade.

I'll repeat what I said about this earlier, revised from when the cost was supposedly $829 billion while allegedly cutting the deficit by by $81 billion over a decade. Let's take the numbers down to earth, based on a cost of $1.055 trillion and 'savings' of $140 billion..

Here's a deal for you - I want you to refinance your mortgage now in 2009 dollars and spend $10,550 in fees and costs. In exchange you'll save a total of $1,400 in 2019 dollars over ten years..if my figures are correct and nothing changes - and we know it will.

Any takers out there?

If there are, I have some friends in Nigeria with an amazing business proposition for you - But Your Trust Is Required.

This is a wealth transfer and a tax bill, and it's beyond merely getting screwed. It's criminal rape and assault.

Frankenstein has run amuck."

Where Are the Jobs?

Obama and company are taking us down, down, down. What the American people need more than anything is JOBS, JOBS, and more JOBS.

Why is the Obama Administration doing everything in its power to prevent the growth of jobs?

Remember this lie told to us by our president during the election season:



What a bunch of hogwash that was!

Read about how Obama and his liberal comrades are going to destroy any hope of creating jobs through their healthcare bill and all its on mandates and taxes on businesses, via the American Thinker:

A comprehensive list of new taxes in health care bill
Rick Moran

"Sorry this took a while, but the excellent folks at Americans for Tax Reform had to plow through 1990 pages of health care reform in order to find all the little golden nuggets that will make the tax man jump for joy.

Ryan Ellis reports that ATR has discovered no less than 13 new taxes in the bill. Among them:


'Employer Mandate Excise Tax (Page 275): If an employer does not pay 72.5 percent of a single employee's health premium (65 percent of a family employee), the employer must pay an excise tax equal to 8 percent of average wages. Small employers (measured by payroll size) have smaller payroll tax rates of 0 percent (<$500,000), 2 percent ($500,000-$585,000), 4 percent ($585,000-$670,000), and 6 percent ($670,000-$750,000).

Individual Mandate Surtax (Page 296): If an individual fails to obtain qualifying coverage, he must pay an income surtax equal to the lesser of 2.5 percent of modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) or the average premium. MAGI adds back in the foreign earned income exclusion and municipal bond interest.

Medicine Cabinet Tax (Page 324): Non-prescription medications would no longer be able to be purchased from health savings accounts (HSAs), flexible spending accounts (FSAs), or health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs). Insulin excepted.

Cap on FSAs (Page 325): FSAs would face an annual cap of $2500 (currently uncapped).

Increased Additional Tax on Non-Qualified HSA Distributions (Page 326): Non-qualified distributions from HSAs would face an additional tax of 20 percent (current law is 10 percent). This disadvantages HSAs relative to other tax-free accounts (e.g. IRAs, 401(k)s, 529 plans, etc.)

Denial of Tax Deduction for Employer Health Plans Coordinating with Medicare Part D (Page 327): This would further erode private sector participation in delivery of Medicare services.'


Feel left out? Don't worry, there's plenty more where those came from.

Generally speaking, it appears that the burden will fall primarily on businesses. So instead of hiring someone to be productive, that money will go to the government instead.

This is a jobs killing bill as much as it is a power grab for control of the health care system. It shows just how far the Democrats are willing to go - delay or destroy any recovery - in order for government to get their hands on the health care system."

UPDATE: The Dems also have plans to punish any state which passes tort reform.

"You Are ALL Inept"

To all those chomping at the bit to get government run healthcare, let's review how our politicians have royally messed up every program they've gotten their filthy hands on.

Read this great email:



To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature,

It is now official you are ALL inept:

•The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775 You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.

•Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.

•Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.

•War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to 'the poor' and they only want more.

•Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.

•Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.

•The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.

You have FAILED in every 'government service' you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??"

Send Them All to Jail

Rush Limbaugh is absolutely right. Nancy Pelosi is a thief and a liar, and she should spend time behind bars, as should those of her colleagues on both sides of the aisle who have supported legislation that is robbing our children and grandchildren of their futures.

Read from Gateway Pundit:

Rush Limbaugh: Pelosi Is a Liar and Thief & Should Go to Jail (Video)

"Agreed.
Rush Limbaugh reacted to Speaker Pelosi’s outrageous announcement today that her government run health care plan was 'deficit neutral.'

Rush says this liar should go to jail and that Bernie Madoff is small fry compared to the theft going on in Washington today.



Here’s the transcript:


RUSH: 'As you have probably heard, ladies and gentlemen, Nancy Pelosi just once again claimed that the House health care reform bill will not add one penny to the federal deficit. Of course this is absurd. It will turn out to be absurdly untrue if this thing ever sees the light day of, and when it does, when it does, when it is exposed as a total fraud, when she and everybody else supporting this are exposed as total liars about all of this being deficit neutral, about all of this covering all these people, about everybody getting all this health care for what they think will be nothing, when all of that is exposed, shouldn’t people like Nancy Pelosi, who lie to get such things passed into legislation, have to face some kind of real consequences? This is nothing more than theft. Are they not thieves? They are stealing billions of dollars from US taxpayers, both taxpayers of today and tomorrow. You can’t even say that they’re enriched by their thievery ’cause they do it to buy votes and more power, and some of them do get enriched as a result of all this.

Why shouldn’t people who steal billions of dollars have to go to jail if the small fry like Bernie Madoff has to go to jail? Madoff is chump change compared to Nancy Pelosi, chump change compared to Barney Frank and Harry Reid. This is generational theft that is going on here. I mean let’s step back. Nancy Pelosi is the most radical Speaker of the House ever, from one of the most radical communities in the nation, San Francisco. She’s pushing this newest proposal now. She’s never cared about costs before, she doesn’t care about them now. She’s never cared about economic reality before because she’s insulated from it. She is wealthy. Her husband is wealthy beyond their wildest dreams. She is George McGovern on hormones, steroids and everything else, and she sees this as the best way for her and her ilk to remain in power for decades.

Folks, both the Senate bill, Dingy Harry’s little bill over there and Pelosi’s bill today are time bombs. They are ticking time bombs. They are designed to destroy private insurance companies and thus the economy. If you look at it from their standpoint these are brilliantly conceived bills and they’re guaranteed to work, they are going to do exactly what these Democrats intend. If they are passed, only massive Republican gains in 2010 and 2012 can diffuse this time bomb because the stuff doesn’t get implemented until after the 2012 election if it passes.'"

Say No to Judge David Hamilton

I had been wondering what happened to Judge David Hamilton, the activist judge President Obama nominated to serve on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. You may remember this fellow. He has a soft spot when it comes to allah, but Jesus is a no-no. Following the Constitution? Not so important.

To be honest, we find a lot of this nonsense coming out of liberal circles. Just wait until the "religion of peace" strikes us again, and it will happen. It's only a matter of time. Then, we'll see how much they will excuse the teachings of Mohammed.

Read the latest on Hamilton, via Red State:

GOP Gearing Up To Filibuster David Hamilton

"Senator Jeff Sessions, ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, is encouraging Republican colleagues to filibuster Barack Obama’s nominee to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, David Hamilton.

Hamilton has major issues against him, including stating publicly his believe that the founders intended the judiciary to routinely amend the constitution through case law. More troubling, David Hamilton has ruled that praying to Allah does not violate the Establishment of Religion clause in the First Amendment, but praying in Jesus Christ’s name does.

According to Sessions’s letter,


'Judge Hamilton’s most determidly activists decisions might be his series of rulings in A Woman’s Choice v. Newman, 904 F. Supp. 1434 (S.D. Ind. 1995). Through his rulings in this case, Judge Hamilton succeeded in blocking the enforcement of an Indiana informed consent law for 7 years. In reversing, the Seventh Circuit noted that Judge Hamilton had abused his judicial discretion.'


Sessions concludes, '[t]his is not the type of service that should be rewarded with a promotion. In deed, this is one of those extraordinary circumstances where the President should be informed that his nominee is not qualified.'

You can read the full letter here (PDF).

Likewise, you can call your Senator at 202-224-3121 and ask him to oppose Judge David Hamilton’s nomination to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals."

Obama and the Cloward-Piven Strategy of Orchestrated Crisis

Time for another reminder. In case you have forgotten or perhaps you may not have read this before when I wrote about it in March, I will once again report about the Cloward-Piven strategy.

My beloved America is under assault from within. Our economy is in chaos, and our leader is enjoying every moment of suffering experienced by the American people because through it, he is moving our nation closer to becoming a socialist state. Without chaos, he would be unable to accomplish his goals.

I realize that this is a strong accusation made against a president of the United States. But, as Rahm Emanuel said, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” And believe me, he and his boss are not allowing any crisis to go to waste, as they intentionally sabotage our economy to further their socialist beliefs--at our expense.

For evidence supporting my charge against Obama, read an article written at American Thinker from September, 2008:
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/barack_obama_and_the_strategy.html

Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis

“America waits with bated breath while Washington struggles to bring the U.S. economy back from the brink of disaster. But many of those same politicians caused the crisis, and if left to their own devices will do so again.

Despite the mass media news blackout, a series of books, talk radio and the blogosphere have managed to expose Barack Obama's connections to his radical mentors -- Weather Underground bombers William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis and others. David Horowitz and his Discover the Networks.org have also contributed a wealth of information and have noted Obama's radical connections since the beginning.

Yet, no one to my knowledge has yet connected all the dots between Barack Obama and the Radical Left. When seen together, the influences on Obama's life comprise a who's who of the radical leftist movement, and it becomes painfully apparent that not only is Obama a willing participant in that movement, he has spent most of his adult life deeply immersed in it.

But even this doesn't fully describe the extreme nature of this candidate. He can be tied directly to a malevolent overarching strategy that has motivated many, if not all, of the most destructive radical leftist organizations in the United States since the 1960s.

The Cloward-Piven Strategy of Orchestrated Crisis

In an earlier post, I noted the liberal record of unmitigated legislative disasters, the latest of which is now being played out in the financial markets before our eyes. Before the 1994 Republican takeover, Democrats had sixty years of virtually unbroken power in Congress - with substantial majorities most of the time. Can a group of smart people, studying issue after issue for years on end, with virtually unlimited resources at their command, not come up with a single policy that works? Why are they chronically incapable?

Why?

One of two things must be true. Either the Democrats are unfathomable idiots, who ignorantly pursue ever more destructive policies despite decades of contrary evidence, or they understand the consequences of their actions and relentlessly carry on anyway because they somehow benefit.

I submit to you they understand the consequences. For many it is simply a practical matter of eliciting votes from a targeted constituency at taxpayer expense; we lose a little, they gain a lot, and the politician keeps his job. But for others, the goal is more malevolent - the failure is deliberate. Don't laugh. This method not only has its proponents, it has a name: the Cloward-Piven Strategy. It describes their agenda, tactics, and long-term strategy.

The Strategy was first elucidated in the May 2, 1966 issue of The Nation magazine by a pair of radical socialist Columbia University professors, Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. David Horowitz summarizes it as:

'The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.'

Cloward and Piven were inspired by radical organizer [and Hillary Clinton mentor] Saul Alinsky:

'"Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules," Alinsky wrote in his 1989 book Rules for Radicals. When pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system's failure to "live up" to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist "rule book" with a socialist one. (Courtesy Discover the Networks.org'

Worldview Matters With Brannon Howse

Topic: Barack Obama is Destroying Our Economy on Purpose
http://www.worldviewradio.com/episode.php?EpisodeID=10958

Description:

“A pair of radical Columbia University professors by the name of Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven wrote an article in the radical magazine known as The Nation. The article was published on May 2, 1966 and laid out what is now known as the ‘Cloward-Piven Strategy‘. The plan calls for the destruction of capitalism in America by swelling the welfare rolls to the point of collapsing our economy and then implementing socialism by nationalizing many private institutions. Cloward and Piven studied Saul Alinsky just like Hillary Clinton and President Obama. Listen as Brannon Howse and his guest James Simpson explain how Cloward and Piven inspired the creation of ACORN that Obama worked for as a community organizer. This interview must be e-mailed all over the country. Americans must awaken and understand the goal of these radicals and what is to come if they succeed. Time is of the essence. Obama is not over his head as some have claimed, he knows exactly what he is doing. Understand the Cloward-Piven Strategy, the rules of Saul Alinsky, and their Cultural Marxist worldview and you will understand what is occurring in America is not by mistake."

If the American people knew the real Barack Obama, he would have been soundly defeated in the presidential election.

"Multi-Million-Dollar Technology Fund for Muslim Nations"

The six-million-dollar question remains. Is President Obama a closet Muslim or is he not? One day I'm confident that he is a Muslim, and then the next day I have doubts, especially when it comes to his defense of gay rights. Yet, Islamic expert Usama Dakdok states, "Muslims' support for gay marriage has two underlining reasons. First, the life span of homosexuals is getting shorter. Second, If gays get the right to be married the next step will be for Muslims to have the right to have their four wives, according to their religious law".

In my opinion, abortion is not a factor in determining Obama's true religion because Muslims want us infidels to abort our non-Muslim babies. Dakdok states, "Muslims want infidels to have abortions is ok because that will stop the growth of non Muslims."

Read all of Usama Dakdok's comments about Obama, including the following statement: "His agenda for the Whitehouse clearly shows he is Muslim."

Nevertheless, the mystery still continues. As Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs points out, it doesn't matter if Obama is a Muslim because he is governing as if he is. Read the latest move by President Barack HUSSEIN Obama:

Obama offers millions in Muslim technology fund

"And so I will restate the obvious to those who contend Obama is a crypto- Muslim. The question isn't whether Obama is a Muslim, the question is, what difference would it make if he were? What would he be doing differently if he were? The answer? Nothing. He would act exactly in this manner -- and that's what matters.


Obama offers millions in Muslim technology fund AFP


WASHINGTON — 'The White House Friday highlighted a new multi-million-dollar technology fund for Muslim nations, following a pledge made by President Barack Obama in his landmark speech to the Islamic world.

The White House said the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) had issued a call for proposals for the fund, which will provide financing of between 25 and 150 million dollars for selected projects and funds.

The Global Technology and Innovation Fund will "catalyze and facilitate private sector investments" throughout Asia, the Middle East and Africa, the White House said in a statement.

[...]

In his speech to the Muslim world in Cairo last June, Obama argued that "education and innovation will be the currency of the 21st century" and that under-investment was rife in many Muslim nations.

As well as the fund, Obama also said he will host a summit on entrepreneurship this year to deepen ties between business leaders in the United States and Muslim communities around the world.

In his speech on June 4, Obama vowed to forge a "new beginning" for Islam and America, promising to purge years of "suspicion and discord."

In what may be one of the defining moments of his presidency, Obama laid out a new blueprint for US Middle East policy, pledged to end mistrust, forge a state for Palestinians and defuse a nuclear showdown with Iran.'"


Like America can afford this project. Let the Saudis fund it.

The Tactics Employed by Harry Reid

Liberals have been waiting decades for this moment: socialized medicine. Just the thought of taking over 1/6 of our economy is enough to make the Democrats giddy with excitement. They are not about to let this moment slip through their hands.

Do they care one bit that the majority of Americans oppose their snake oil plan? You betcha they don't.

Read about the tactics Harry Reid is employing to achieve his goal of passing the Democrats' healthcare rationing bill through Congress, via Dick Morris:

REID’S BAIT-AND-SWITCH TACTICS
By Dick Morris

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) had two problems. How would he get the healthcare bill out of the Senate Finance Committee without revealing the glaring potential fissures in his party over the public option on healthcare? And how could he lend a veneer of bipartisanship to a one-party bill?

He couldn’t allow a vote on final passage out of the committee with a public option in the bill because he knew that he would lose Democrats and would have no GOP support. But real compromise was always out of the question. He wanted his public option. So he evolved a strategy where the only bill that would be voted on in committee would be one that did not have a public option, all the while planning for the final product to have one.

So he used the bait of a bill with no public option to hook moderate Democrats like Blanche Lincoln (Ark.) and the gullible Republican Olympia Snowe (Maine).

When the bill emerged from Finance, by a lopsided 15-9 vote, it restored to healthcare reform the momentum that had stalled due to the public outrage so evident during the August recess.

Then the dexterous Reid capitalized on that momentum to put the public option back into the bill, reversing the commitment to compromise that allowed the bill to clear the committee in the first place.

This tactic of bait-and-switch offers a foretaste of what Reid will attempt on the Senate floor. He obviously hopes to replicate these tactics in getting the bill through the Senate.

As he did in the Finance Committee, Reid has opened his gambit on the Senate floor by embracing a public option. He does this for two reasons: First, he wants to send a signal to the House and Senate militants that his heart is in the right place and that the final bill will probably have a public option. Second, he needs to have room to compromise so the final Senate version attracts the moderates he needs. First he veers left in order to then swing right.

His next move is predictable. As he awaits House action, he stands firm in backing the public option. And as he nears the point of a Senate floor vote, he will pretend to modify that option in order to attract moderates and perhaps a few stray Republicans. As he and Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) did in committee, he will truncate or even abandon the public option to win unanimous Democratic support (and perhaps one or two Republicans).

Then, in conference with the House, he will pull the old bait-and-switch tactic again, jettisoning the Senate bill and embracing a full-throated public option in the final version that will return to the Senate.

At that point, he hopes to use the momentum of House passage and the imprimatur of the conference committee to try to persuade senators, and the public, that it is this bill or no bill and that only a proposal with a robust public option can pass.

The point of this strategy is never to ask moderates to vote for a public option until the final vote after the conference committee. Let them build a record of having opposed the public option to sell back home. Let Reid show that he tried to compromise. And only put the final test to the moderate senators at the very last minute, when all the momentum is on the side of final passage.

If he succeeds, Reid gets a bill with his public option. But even if he fails and has to delete the public option at the last minute to get Senate support, he will still have gotten the healthcare bill through.

By making such a fuss over the public option, with the connivance of the liberals, he keeps the spotlight away from the Medicare cuts, the end of Medicare Advantage, the inevitable rationing of healthcare, the taxes on the uninsured and the sick and the cuts in medical reimbursement. A bill with all these provisions — even without a public option — is pernicious enough!
And these tactics can still produce a bill with a public option.

Will this tactic work? It all depends on the political environment outside Washington. If the bill is only marginally unpopular (the current 40-55), it will probably pass.

But if public opinion moves another five or so points (to, say, 35-60 against), then the moderates will probably refuse to cave in."

The Ultimate Goal of CAIR

The Muslim group CAIR would like us to believe that it is just an organization looking out for the interests of fellow Muslims. And that is true, but there is something much more sinister going on behind the scenes that they don't want us to know about.

Though the American Pravda is asleep on the job, there are still a few individuals out there exposing evil for what it is. Two such men are Paul Sperry and Paul David Gaubatz, who co-authored the book "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America".

Read more from One News Now:

'Muslim Mafia' unveiled in CAIR documents
Chad Groening

"A terrorism expert and author says the Council on American-Islamic Relations and a number of other alleged 'moderate' Islamic groups are part of what he calls 'The Muslim Mafia,' which he believes is far more dangerous to America than the Sicilian-based crime organization.

Paul Sperry is the co-author of Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America. Sperry's co-author Paul David Gaubatz and his son Chris Gaubatz were able to infiltrate the national headquarters of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), obtaining more than 12,000 pages of secret documents detailing the groups ties to the 'Muslim Brotherhood' and its long-term plan to 'Islamize' America.

Sperry says the Muslim Brotherhood is a huge organization. 'There's over 100 front groups,' he states. 'The Muslim Brothers are simply terrorists in suits. They share the same goals as [Osama] bin Laden, and the only difference between these guys and al-Qaeda is [instead of AK-47s] they carry briefcases full of cash to bankroll terrorists....'

Sperry says the Muslim Brotherhood has been dubbed 'The Muslim Mafia' because of its highly organized structure, centralized control, and covert operations.

'They operate like the Mob, only [they're] more dangerous,' says the author. 'And this is the oath that they take: "Allah is our goal...the prophet is our guide...the Koran is our constitution...jihad is our way...and death for the glory of Allah is our greatest ambition."'

Sperry says the Muslim Brotherhood's ultimate goal is to replace the U.S. Constitution with sharia law."

President Obama "Too Nice"--Don't Think So

President Obama is one smooth politician, and that makes him all the more dangerous because it's difficult not to get caught up in the excitement of his impressive speeches about "hope and change".

But, read what our Creator said to the prophet Samuel in his search for a king for Israel, "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7) If only more of us had taken this wise advice, we would have saved ourselves much suffering as our economy continues to sour and people continue to lose jobs under the leadership of President Obama.

Barack Obama exudes charisma and has a smile like none other. But, let's get a better look at what kind of politician lies behind all the fine packaging, and we will see that he is just another Chicago thug-style politician who just happens to be much more successful in selling his goods.

Read about the tactics Obama used to get where he is today, via the American Thinker:

Is Barack Obama 'too nice' for his own good?
By Monte Kuligowski

"Delusion is in the air, as media supporters of President Obama grapple with his accumulating record of failure.

'With problems for the president in Afghanistan, health care and unemployment, some critics on both the left and right are asking: Is the president essentially "too nice" to make the important decisions?'

That is how David Kerley of ABC News opens his recent piece titled, 'Is Obama "Too Nice" to Make Tough Decisions?'

You've got to love it when liberals use the words 'some critics,' or 'critics say,' to voice what they believe without substantiation. Please tell us Mr. Kerley, which critics on the right are asking whether the President is 'too nice' to make important decisions?

If critics on the right are asking such a misguided question, then they, like Mr. Kerley do not know the real Barack Obama. And, inasmuch as ABC News failed to vet Candidate Obama we would not expect the organization to know much about Obama beyond the shiny narrative.

Just a few days before the 2008 presidential election, Tom Brokaw appeared on the Charlie Rose show. Here's a brief excerpt:


'Rose: I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is.


Brokaw: No, I don't either.


Rose: And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?


Brokaw: You know that's an interesting question. . . . I don't know what books he's read.


Rose: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?


Brokaw: There's a lot about him we don't know.'


Not to worry though. Our esteemed journalists knew that Obama was the perfect candidate. They knew he read a mean teleprompter. They knew he looked good and had a good looking family. They knew he had a nice looking smile. They knew he was black and was the one to make history.

He seemed like a really nice guy.

If they had done their homework, however, they would have known that Obama was a Chicago-machine politician who had used bare-knuckles tactics against his opponents.

Apparently, Kerley still doesn't know how Obama began his political career. No, I'm not referring to Obama's fundraiser for state senate in the home of former United States terrorist and present-day radical, Bill Ayers.

I'm referring to the manner in which Obama won his first election. Alice Palmer had been an Illinois state senator since 1991. In 1995 a U.S. congressional seat had become available and Ms. Palmer tossed her hat into the special election race. Barack Obama endorsed Palmer for Congress and she blessed him with an endorsement for the state seat she would leave open.

It was a simple plan: Palmer would go on to Washington and Obama would fill her seat in Illinois. The only problem was that Jesse Jackson Jr. would enter the congressional race and outspend Palmer almost two to one. After losing her congressional run, Palmer assumed that Obama would step aside and allow his elder to resume her post unchallenged.

But Barack Obama had no plans of stepping aside. That wasn't the not-so-nice part. He certainly was entitled to stay in the Democratic primary. Convicted fraud artist, Tony Rezko raised over $15,000 for Obama's campaign. That wasn't the mean part either -- though it was a little slimy. The not-so-nice part of Obama's election victory was his treatment of Palmer. Obama had Palmer disqualified from the primary.

David Freddoso reports in his book, 'The Case Against Barack Obama,' that Palmer collected nearly 1,600 petition signatures to get back on the ballot for reelection and submitted them well ahead of the deadline.

But rather than leaving the outcome to the voters, Obama decided to take the matter into his own hands. He decided to use Chicago hardball tactics against Palmer. Obama had his team painstakingly examine each of the 1,580 signatures, searching for technicalities. Freddoso writes:


'One by one, Obama's "petitions guru" [Ronald Davis] disqualified Palmer's signatures for one reason or another. According to one local newspaper at the time: "Some of the problems include printing registered voters name [sic] instead of writing, a female voter got married after she registered to vote and signed her maiden name, registered voters signed the petitions but don't live in the 13th district."'


At the end of the day, Obama disqualified enough signatures to kick Palmer out of the race. 'While they were at it,' notes Freddoso, 'Obama's campaign got the other three candidates disqualified as well.'

Learning about the real Obama shatters the media-created image of Obama in an instant. Maybe, that's why our brave journalists close their eyes, plug their ears and utter, 'la, la, la, la.' Gee, Charlie, there's a lot about him we don't know.

In case you haven't noticed, Mr. Kerley, Obama doesn't tolerate opposition well. His treatment of Palmer is sort of consistent with his treatment of his current opponents. I can think of words to describe Obama, like controlling and authoritarian. But nice doesn't come to mind; unless you're only looking at the polished image.

Remember some of Obama's first words to his opponents just three days after taking office. 'I won,' announced Obama, 'I will trump you on that [the so-called stimulus bill].' In the same meeting the new president also warned Republicans about listening to Rush Limbaugh.

Brad O'Leary predicted before the election that a President Obama would effectively tell traditional Americans to 'sit down, shut up, and pay the bills.' Well, he was close. Mr. Obama would actually say in August of 2009, that, 'I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess.'

I don't think Obama was very nice in trying to ram through over a thousand pages of unread health care law before the congressional break back in August. And, I'm not seeing the niceness in the way Obama responded to his critics. Initially, he characterized their honest dissent as 'chatter.' He vowed to pass health care anyway, even before anyone had read the 'bill,' including himself. Then his administration turned to calling the bill-reading, town hall protesters spiteful names. And, lastly Obama resorted to characterizing his opponents as liars, before a joint session of Congress.

Mr. Obama seems to have quite an enemies list. The latest target of the disqualification machine is Fox News. Rather than engage in transparent debate, the name calling has begun, with David Axelrod childishly maligning Fox as 'not really a news station.' And Obama's dictatorial attempt to ban Fox News from the White House Press Pool just might be the serendipitous eye-opener for many journalists in the 'mainstream' media.

Mr. Obama's indecisiveness on certain issues may be explained by any number of factors; but I don't believe being 'too nice' is one of them."

"The Biggest Question for This Generation"

Nothing like a black conservative to call out President Obama on his destruction of America as we know it. I guess the American Pravda can't accuse Thomas Sowell of racism for his opposition to all policies in an Obamanation.

Read from One News Now:

Dismantling America
Thomas Sowell

"Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official -- not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate, but simply one of the many 'czars' appointed by the President -- could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?

Did you think that another 'czar' would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers -- that is, to create a situation where some newspapers' survival would depend on the government liking what they publish?

Did you imagine that anyone would even be talking about having a panel of so-called 'experts' deciding who could and could not get life-saving medical treatments?

Scary as that is from a medical standpoint, it is also chilling from the standpoint of freedom. If you have a mother who needs a heart operation or a child with some dire medical condition, how free would you feel to speak out against an administration that has the power to make life and death decisions about your loved ones?

Does any of this sound like America?

How about a federal agency giving school children material to enlist them on the side of the president? Merely being assigned to sing his praises in class is apparently not enough.

How much of America would be left if the federal government continued on this path? President Obama has already floated the idea of a national police force, something we have done without for more than two centuries.

We already have local police forces all across the country and military forces for national defense, as well as the FBI for federal crimes and the National Guard for local emergencies. What would be the role of a national police force created by Barack Obama, with all its leaders appointed by him? It would seem more like the brown shirts of dictators than like anything American.

How far the President will go depends of course on how much resistance he meets. But the direction in which he is trying to go tells us more than all his rhetoric or media spin.

Barack Obama has not only said that he is out to 'change the United States of America,' the people he has been associated with for years have expressed in words and deeds their hostility to the values, the principles, and the people of this country.

Jeremiah Wright said it with words: 'God d--- America!' Bill Ayers said it with bombs that he planted. Community activist goons have said it with their contempt for the rights of other people.

Among the people appointed as czars by President Obama have been people who have praised enemy dictators like Mao, who have seen the public schools as places to promote sexual practices contrary to the values of most Americans, to a captive audience of children.

Those who say that the Obama administration should have investigated those people more thoroughly before appointing them are missing the point completely. Why should we assume that Barack Obama didn't know what such people were like, when he has been associating with precisely these kinds of people for decades before he reached the White House?

Nothing is more consistent with his lifelong patterns than putting such people in government -- people who reject American values, resent Americans in general and successful Americans in particular, as well as resenting America's influence in the world.

Any miscalculation on his part would be in not thinking that others would discover what these stealth appointees were like. Had it not been for the Fox News Channel, these stealth appointees might have remained unexposed for what they are. Fox News is now high on the administration's enemies list.

Nothing so epitomizes President Obama's own contempt for American values and traditions like trying to ram two bills through Congress in his first year -- each bill more than a thousand pages long -- too fast for either of them to be read, much less discussed. That he succeeded only the first time says that some people are starting to wake up. Whether enough people will wake up in time to keep America from being dismantled, piece by piece, is another question -- and the biggest question for this generation."

Govt. Incompetence in Flu Shot Shortage

Do we really want the government running something as vitally important as our healthcare system? They have a history of screwing up EVERYTHING they touch. How wise would it be to put them in charge of our very lives. Nothing like inefficiency and unnecessary bureaucracy via the US government.

Dick Morris uses the flu shot shortage to expose the incompetence of our federal government and as an example of what ObamaCare would be like.

FLU SHOT SHORTAGE SHOWS GOVT. INCOMPETENCE
By Dick Morris And Eileen McGann

"How can the government pretend that it can manage, overhaul, streamline, and reform the health care system in the United States when it can’t even deliver enough flu shots to prevent a pandemic?

We have seen the H1N1 virus coming for over a year. It is no surprise that much of America needs vaccination. It was no secret that the flu season was approaching. But, now that it is upon us, we find ourselves pathetically short of shots.

One year ago, the government told us that we would have hundreds of millions of vaccinations available. Then, over the summer, the prediction was that 40 million would be on hand by the end of October.

Last month, the estimate was scaled back to 28 million. And, as of late last week, only 11.5 million had been delivered, leaving tens of millions vulnerable and, tragically, likely leading to hundreds of preventable deaths. Given the tendency of the virus to strike the young, many of those deaths will be among children.

It should be a fairly simple task to produce and distribute a vaccine - as we do with regular flu shots each and every year. But it was apparently beyond the capacity of the Obama Administration to manage such a routine feat.

If it can’t run the epidemiological equivalent of a two-car funeral, how can Obama promise that the government will do an adequate job of managing the nation’s health care system? (To say nothing of two car companies and a trove of banks and insurance firms?)

In the debate over health care, the implicit assumption has been that the government can act with competence and timeliness. The discussion has largely centered on what powers to give the government - not on whether it had the ability to wield this new authority. The bill making its way through Congress empowers the federal government to decide on protocols of health care, penalize excessive costs, and moderate reimbursement fees. These are all difficult and delicate tasks and involve decision which must be made promptly and wisely for the system to have a chance of working. Otherwise, endless delays, bottlenecks, and snafus can eventuate. And these failures can have drastic consequences for the health of all Americans.

Do we really have confidence in government’s ability to make these decisions? Does its manifest inability to protect us from the Swine Flu do anything to inspire such confidence?

Not so far!"

The Left Vs. the Far Left

From Gateway Pundit:

Rifqa Bary's Parents' Lies

Update on Rifqa Bary, via Atlas Shrugs. Pay particular attention to what other apostates have to say about this case.

Rifqa Bary's Parents Lying to the Infidels, Rifqa in Grave Danger

"Rifqa Bary's parents are engaging in the age-old Islamic practice of taqiya. They lied to the court in Florida to get Rifqa back into their clutches.

They never produced the immigration documents, although I did -- proving their illegal status and perjury. Instead, Krista Bartholomew, Rifqa's Guardian Ad Litem, and John Stemberger, her attorney, fell for taqiya - their lies - and dropped the pending contempt of court charges in exchange for 'a deal'. Devout Muslims dealing with infidels ...........They never produced the immigration documents. They should be on their way back to Sri Lanka and Rifqa should be applying for apostasy asylum. To send her back to Sri Lanka would be a death sentence - listen to my interview with an apostate from Sri Lanka here. And more on the status of Sri Lanka Christians here.

Is Rifqa's attorney in Ohio well versed in sharia law and apostasy? Who is choosing her lawyer? Does she have a say?

We will be marching in Columbus for Rifqa.

Here is the latest from Rifqa's good friend and fellow apostate, Jamal Jivanjee (my interview with Jivanjee is here):


'From Jamal Jivanjee...

To all those who value life,

Please take a few minutes to consider the life of our sister in the faith Rifqa Bary, which is once again in grave jeopardy. On Tuesday October 27’th, Rifqa Bary was handed over to Ohio authorities for placement in foster care in Franklin County. Over the previous weekend, a very unfortunate deal was made by Rifqa’s former Florida Guardian Ad Litem, Krista Bartholomew, with Rifqa’s parent’s attorney David Colley that allowed Rifqa to be transferred back to Ohio. The gist of this (behind the scenes) deal was the following:

1. Because Rifqa’s parents are in the U.S. illegally, they refused and defied numerous court orders to produce documents detailing their immigration status. As a result, Rifqa’s parents were in danger of being arrested for contempt of court. The Florida judge who had emergency jurisdiction over the case said that even though the jurisdiction is transferred to Ohio, he was not going to release her until they produced the proper documentation that satisfied the court.

Well, in order to have the immigration issue go away for Rifqa’s parents, Mohammad Bary’s attorney, David Colley, cut a ‘behind the scenes’ deal in which the Florida court would drop the contempt of court issue regarding their immigration situation in exchange for an assurance that they would leave Rifqa alone and let her stay in foster care for the next 9 months until she is 18. This sounded like it was too good to be true, and it was! As soon as Rifqa was transferred into Ohio custody and the Florida court gave up their emergency jurisdiction over Rifqa and the immigration issue, Rifqa’s parents fired their own attorney that made the deal! Simply put, now that Rifqa was in ‘favorable’ hands in Ohio, all deals are off! They trusted Rifqa's parents hoping they would live up to their word, and because of this, Rifqa is in a dangerous situation and there is nothing the Florida court can do now because the (G.A.L.) gave the entire house away! Let this be a lesson about Mohammad Bary's real intentions.

In my opinion, this was all part of a premeditated plan on the part of Rifqa’s parents and the organization called C.A.I.R. who has been advising them according to the Florida department of law enforcement report released to the public. They have since hired a Muslim activist attorney named Omar Tarazi that is no doubt influenced by the mafia like C.A.I.R. organization whose sole agenda is to paint a positive picture of Islam in America at any cost. (The slander of the Lorenz family and the slander of 17 year old Rifqa’s own character by releasing her prayer journals to the media are perfect examples of how C.A.I.R. ruthlessly operates to accomplish their agenda.)

They completely went back on the agreement that they made to leave Rifqa alone, and I believe they now are planning to continue to pursue to get her back against Rifqa’s will. C.A.I.R. wants her silenced both now, and in the future, because they know that Rifqa’s story of abuse is common among many Muslim families. Apostasy in Islam is not something they want to shine a light on. They know that as her story gets out there, there will be a massive exodus of Muslims just like her. Indeed, it has already begun!

2. If that was not bad enough, Rifqa went back to a hostile environment in Ohio right away. In an article posted on Saturday October 24’th, three days before her return to Ohio, the Columbus Dispatch reported that Eric Fenner, the executive director of Franklin County Children Services, has said that he has stated that he “has no reason to believe that Rifqa wouldn’t be safe with her parents.” Remember this is coming from the very person who has charge over protecting her!

Rifqa then arrived back to Ohio on Tuesday October 27’th. Upon her arrival came a new set of restrictions that her parents and Muslim attorneys have been trying to impose on her from the beginning…solitary confinement! While Rifqa was being protected in Florida, they repeatedly tried to separate Rifqa from other Christians that she leaned on for strength and encouragement. Rifqa’s Muslim parents have been saying from the beginning that they don’t believe that Rifqa became a Christian on her own accord, rather they believe that her real problem is that she has been brain washed by other people through facebook and over the phone.

Immediately upon Rifqa’s arrival to Ohio, came new draconian measures to limit her freedom already! Franklin County Juvenile Magistrate Mary Goodrich put these restrictions on Rifqa at the request of the Franklin county children's services agency immediately upon her arrival back to the state of Ohio.
“Bary's use of Facebook was one issue that led to the situation, said Jim Zorn, a children's services attorney, who asked Goodrich to restrict Bary from using the Internet and her cell phone. "What we want to restrict is the other people, the other organizations, the other forces, that have interjected themselves into this case inappropriately, and has caused the additional problems that we've seen," Zorn said.

Zorn’s account of Rifqa’s situation is absolutely false! Where is he getting his information? It seems as if the Ohio director of children’s services in Franklin County is reading right out of the C.A.I.R. and radical Muslim playbook for this case. Facebook did not in any way lead to this situation. What led to this situation was the fact that a very bright and intelligent girl decided to leave Islam and become a Christian. According to numerous passages in the Qur’an and other Islamic scriptures, this is called apostasy and is punishable by death. Like many others all over the world, Rifqa faced this threat of death, or even deportation back to Sri-Lanka by her own family along with pressure from the Columbus Ohio mosque that her family was actively apart of.

What crime did Rifqa Bary commit that she would be held with such restrictions from communicating to the outside world? While it is legal for 17 year old girls in this country to have abortions without parental agreement, this 17 year old girl is forbidden to have unrestricted access to her phone or facebook friends of her choosing! Is she under house arrest because she is a Christian? This sounds like Sharia law in Ohio!

Immediate Call to Action:

Before I get into the specifics of how we can help, let me say this about a very common misunderstanding that many Christians have regarding God’s sovereignty and fighting for justice. Many of my well meaning brothers and sisters in the church have wondered what the balance is between sitting back, trusting God, and actively fighting for justice. Some have said that because I am fighting for justice in Rifqa’s situation, I am taking the situation in my hands and I am not trusting that God is sovereign over this situation. That is ridiculous to say the least. First of all there is a tremendous amount of support in scripture that commands the people of God to not remain silent in the face of injustice, and to speak and defend those who cannot defend themselves. For time’s sake, I will not list those passages here. If you need help finding these scriptures along with their proper context, let me know and I’d be glad to help direct you to the appropriate passages.

All actions of justice should come from a heart of prayer first and foremost. It is from this place of prayer and intimacy with the Lord that we will find the courage, specific direction, and strength to understand and actually do what He is calling us to do! While not everyone will be called to do the same thing, the Lord will burden our hearts for the things that burden His heart as well. His sovereign heart and actions are carried out through the church, which is simply people! We cannot separate ourselves from this. We are His body, His hands, His feet, His mouth, etc…

A lack of a proper understanding between God’s sovereignty and His heart for justice is what allowed the church to sit passively by in Nazi Germany as Jewish people were slaughtered by the millions while Christians were paralyzed by fear and did nothing. Corrie Ten Boom was an exception to the rule. She was not afraid, and she knew what God had called her to do. There should have been millions of Corrie Ten Booms in Germany at that time. This same cowardice and passivity is also what has allowed over 3000 children to be murdered by abortion each and every day in this nation with little or no outcry in prayer and public against this tragedy. We must get this right! Now with that said, here are some specific things we can do for Rifqa right now:

Since most of Rifqa’s Florida support base is cut off from her, and she is now under the care of authorities that do not take the threat to her life seriously, I would like to ask you to help them understand that Rifqa is not alone and that there are many people who will not sit idly by while Rifqa is sent back to her demise. This does make a difference. Rifqa’s story must continue to be told for her sake, and for the sake of many others! Feel free to repost this article and pass it along to anyone you would like for the sake of getting the word out.

Please contact Franklin County Children Services, and the Ohio governor’s office at the following addresses and let them know that you want Rifqa to be able to have the basic freedoms to communicate to the outside world, and that she needs to be protected from her parents & the radical Islamic community:

'A deal that could have saved Rifqa was abandoned by her Florida court appointed Guardian Ad Litem, Ms. Krista Bartholomew, when her parents decided to change counsel.

Near the end of a lengthy hearing in Orlando on October 13th, Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) Krista Bartholomew urged the Court not to allow Rifqa's return to Ohio until the Barys complied with prior Court rulings to submit their immigration papers for review. (It was revealed in a previous hearing that the Barys' visas had expired in 2005.) Judge Daniel Dawson agreed. He ordered attorney Shayan Elahi to produce the papers within ten days or face contempt of court charges; and he asked Bartholomew to file contempt charges with the Court if the deadline passed without the papers. Yet in a strange turn of events, a deal that could have saved Rifqa Bary was botched by the very same Krista Bartholomew.

So what was the deal that was allegedly struck in discussions between Ms. Bartholomew and the Bary’s attorney David Colley? In exchange for the Bary’s consent to State of Ohio Dependency for Rifqa, a Contempt Motion for her parents would not be filed. Before the deal was signed, the Barys fired Counsel David Colley on the grounds that they couldn’t afford to pay him. In his place, a Muslim American attorney, Omar Tarazi, was appointed as counsel for Rifqa’s parents. Instead of Rifqa Bary being declared a dependent of the State of Ohio, put on a fast track for a green card and ultimate US Citizenship, she’s in foster care custody facing a lengthy dependency hearing. Her communications via cell phone and internet have been restricted by a Court ruling. Justice was delayed and denied.

The two Muslim lawyers, Shayan Elahi in Florida and Omar Tarazi in Ohio, appear to have been successful using family laws in both states to return Rifqa Bary to Ohio. The suspicion is that both lawyers are being paid by CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood fronts to stifle apostasy among young American Muslims by using Rifqa Bary as a test case. Why else would Mohamed and Aysha Bary dismiss their Ohio Counsel, David Colley, on the grounds that they couldn’t afford to pay him? After all, Counsel Tarazi costs them nothing.

Rifqa Bary’s Ohio legal team of Kort Gatterdam and Angie Lloyd, an expert in child advocacy law and clinical professor at Ohio State University Law School, may face a daunting task given a tough prosecutor and an outstanding petition by her parents to declare her an “incorrigible child.”

This exchange reported by the AP at today’s Ohio court hearing may be a foreshadowing of the tough legal battles ahead:

The children's services agency had blamed Bary's use of Facebook for her troubles, saying she went to Orlando, Fla., after talking to the Rev. Blake Lorenz, pastor of Global Revolution Church, in an online prayer group.

Bary disappeared July 19 and police used phone and computer records to track her to Lorenz.

"What we want to restrict is the other people, the other organizations, the other forces, that have interjected themselves into this case inappropriately, and has caused the additional problems that we've seen," said Jim Zorn, a children's services attorney, who had asked for tougher supervision that would have restricted Bary from using the Internet and her cell phone.

The girl's parents supported the restrictions, saying through their attorney they were concerned about her interacting with adults over the Internet.

"As you know, there's a lot of danger and concern about that with children," said their attorney, Omar Tarazi.

Kort Gatterdam, an attorney representing the girl, opposed the request, saying problems were caused by a conflict between the girl and her parents, not the Internet.

"We're making some assumptions, without evidence in the record, that she has done something improper talking to people on Facebook. There's no evidence of that," Gatterdam told the judge.

"If the goal here is normalcy and reunification or whatever, this is not the way to go."

According to Pastor Jamal Jivanjee, a friend of Rifqa’s, Rifqa Bary has become an iconic figure to many American Muslim youths and Muslims abroad seeking to leave Islam. He has been inundated with hundreds of emails supporting her cause.

What can be done to secure Rifqa Bary? Her legal team and advisers are looking at a number of possible scenarios. The outcome hangs in the balance, now that justice has been delayed.'"
