Islam Exposed

Over and over again we are witnessing evidence which proves that Islam is an evil, evil religion which teaches its followers to hate and to participate in violent crimes against humanity. Religion of peace, indeed!

Thanks to JDL, you are about to witness the brutal beating of young Egyptian children by their school teacher. Because Egypt is a nation which practices misogyny, it is not surprising that the female students were dealt the harshest blows.

I just watched this video with two of my children; both were so angry that they wanted to resort to violence, and I had to calm them down and explain to them that God does not want us to be filled with hate for ANYONE, though we should hate their actions and the religion which teaches them to hate. It IS difficult to watch this stuff and not despise these people who carry out these outrageous displays of unwarranted violence.




Now, that you are more than likely all fired up, you might as well hear about a Ukrainian Muslim girl who was stoned to death for daring to participate in a beauty contest. Me thinks she revealed too much skin.

Take a deep breath and read this story from Gateway Pundit:

Teenage Muslim Girl Stoned to Death For Entering Beauty Contest

"A Muslim girl was stoned to death in Ukraine for entering a beauty contest.
The Daily Mail reported:

'A teenage Muslim girl was stoned to death under ‘Sharia law’ after taking part in a beauty contest in Ukraine.

Katya Koren, 19, was found dead in a village in the Crimea region near her home.

Friends said she liked wearing fashionable clothes and had come seventh in a beauty contest. Her battered body was buried in a forest and was found a week after she disappeared.

Police have opened a murder probe and are investigating claims that three Muslim youths killed her claiming her death was justified under Islam.

One of the three – named as 16-year-old Bihal Gaziev – is under arrest and told police she had ‘violated the laws of Sharia

A Glimpse of What the Arab Winter Will Bring

Please, Mr. President, remind us one more time of how you were instrumental in the overthrow of Egyptian dictator, Hosni Mubarak--certainly not a nice guy, but he did maintain a peace with Israel, a rare undertaking for a Middle Eastern country, and he was an ally to the U.S. How exactly is this Arab Spring, which you encouraged, Mr. President, how is it benefiting the U.S. and other Western nations?

It's not!! No way! This may go down as one of the stupidest moves in foreign policy since the ushering in of the Iranian Ayotollah in 1979, compliments of Jimmy Carter. If you were wise, Mr. President, which you have shown us over and over again that you are not, you would run from this mess and encourage your cheerleading squad in the American Pravda to rewrite history and take your face off the origins of this "freedom" undertaking.

Time is not proving to be a friend to you, Mr. President. Read the latest results of the Arab Spring movement in Egypt, via Gateway Pundit:

Report: 400 Al-Qaeda Terrorists Have Already Moved Into the Sinai Peninsula

"According to Al-Hayyat television, 400 Al-Qaeda members have already moved into the Sinai Peninsula.
The Jerusalem Post reported:


'Egyptian security official tells Al-Hayyat that Palestinian, Beduin, foreign citizens seeking to carry out attacks, have already attacked.

Over 400 al-Qaida members have made their way into the Sinai Peninsula, a senior Egyptian security official told the Al-Hayyat satellite television station on Monday.

Egyptian security officials were pursuing the terrorists, who are composed of Palestinians, Beduins and foreign Arab citizens, according to the report. The group was reportedly planning to carry out terror attacks in Egypt, the official said.

Additionally, the terrorists carried out “a number of attacks against [Egyptian] security forces in the Sinai city of El Arish,” the official told Al-Hayyat.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday also addressed Egypt’s security problems in Sinai. “Egypt has had difficulties exercising its sovereignty over Sinai,” he said at a meeting of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

“We saw this in the two gas pipe explosions that occurred there,” Netanyahu said. “What’s happening in Sinai is that global terrorist organizations are meddling there and their presence is increasing because of the connection between Sinai and Gaza.”

If that isn't bad enough, the foreign policy genius in the White House is contributing our hard-earned tax dollars to the Islamization of Egypt.


From Atlas Shrugs:

G8 To Give First $20B, Then $40B in Jizya for Muslim Brotherhood's "Arab Spring"

"In a move that defies logic and the will to survive, the leaders of the G8 plan to pay $20 billion in jiyza to the onslaught of Islamic supremacist movements across the world. One has to wonder what the new Nazi party in Egypt is slated to get.

The G8, more of the one world government, is driven by Islamic supremacists and leftists. 'One neck, one leash.' (That was Rand, I think.)

G8 have $20B for 'Arab Spring' Politico


'Hoping to encourage the push for freedom and democracy, President Obama and leaders of the G-8 countries announced Friday that they will allow international development banks to provide more than $20 billion to help spur development in the “Arab Spring” counties like Egypt and Tunisia.

A statement released by the G-8 leaders assembled in Deauville, France, did not breakdown how much development banks from each county would provide, but promised to “mobilize substantial bilateral support to scale up this effort.”

"Our collective aim is to ensure that instability does not undermine the process of political reform, and that social cohesion and macroeconomic stability are both sustained,” the statement read.

The statement also did not make clear what specifically the $20 billion in funds were designed to provide the two countries.

Hoping to further encourage the push for freedom and democracy in the Arab world, the statement warned Syria the G-8 countries will seek “further action” if the government continues to use violence to breakup protests in the country where hundreds of protestorshave reportedly been killed by the military
.'


UPDATE: G-8 Launches $40 Billion 'Arab Spring' Partnership


'"The "Arab Spring" has high stakes for the G-8 nations—the U.S., Japan, Canada, Russia, France, Germany, Italy and the UK. For the Europeans, the Arab world is on their doorstep: Democracy and prosperity in the region could promote stability and provide new growth opportunities, while their failure might trigger a flood of unwanted migrants. The U.S. would like more stability in a region that has been a source of foreign policy headaches."-from the article'"


Dream on, Mr. President, if you believe that we will see more stability in Egypt than we saw under Mubarak. The Islamists are becoming so comfortable in Egypt that Hamas is moving its headquarters from Syria to Egypt.

Who would have thunk it? We owe all this Islamization in the land of the Nile to you, Mr. President. I'll betcha when it's all said and done, you won't be so quick to boast about your role in this foreign policy blunder.

Malignant Muslim Spring: Muslim Brotherhood Group Hamas Moving HQ from Syria to Egypt

"Ah yes, more malodorous blossoms off the sharia trees multiplying at warp speed in the lefty loving 'Muslim Spring.'

DF opines, 'In post-Mubarak Egypt, freedom of expression has already taken root, and the country is quickly regaining its place as a magnet for Muslim thought. All shades of jihad are now welcome and have room to flourish. Why, it’s enough to make a neocon kvell.'

Hamas Moving HQ from Syria to Egypt, Warns Netanyahu INN


'Hamas is moving its headquarters from Damascus to Egypt, and the terror group is strengthening itself in the Sinai, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee Monday.

He also noted that the Muslim Brotherhood, from which Hamas sprung, also has become a more powerful force in Egypt since the ouster of Hosni Mubarak. The Prime Minister stated his concern about the inability of the provisional military regime in Egypt to exercise sovereignty in the Sinai, which borders Israel and from where Bedouin and Hamas terrorists smuggle weapons from Iran, Sudan, Syria and elsewhere into Gaza.

Al-Qaeda also has brought 400 terrorists into the area, according to an Egyptian official quoted by an Arab news agency,

The Prime Minister confirmed previous reports that Hamas supreme leader Khaled Mashaal has pulled out of Damascus, where his presence and welcome by Syrian President Bashar Assad is an additional worry for him in the face of the continuing uprising.

The vacuum of power in the Sinai has been illustrated by “the two gas explosions that occurred there” this year, Prime Minister Netanyahu told the Knesset committee. “Global terrorist organizations are interfering, there and their presence is increasing because of the geographic connection between Sinai and Gaza."

The Sharon government agreed to pull out of Gaza following the 2005 expulsion of nearly 10,000 Jews in the area. Agreements with Egypt on security in the Sinai began falling apart after Hamas ousted Fatah from Gaza four years ago.

Following the Operation Cast Lead counterterrorist campaign at the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009, Israel relied on American and European guarantees to monitor the transfer of goods and merchandise from the Sinai to Gaza, but these also have eroded. The opening of the Rafiah crossing this past Saturday has further harmed security.

The de facto dominance of Bedouin tribes and allied terrorists in the Sinai has set the stage for further stockpiling of advanced arms by Hamas and for plotting terrorist attacks at tourist and holy sites in Egypt

Indoctrinating Toddlers and Pre-Schoolers

Who are the people in your neighborhood? If you reside on Sesame Street, your neighbors are likely to be leftist wackos promoting all sorts of radical beliefs to indoctrinate innocent minds at a very tender age.

From The Blaze:

Is Sesame Street Spreading Left-Wing Propaganda? Exec Admits, Yes

"While the theme song to the kids show Sesame Street encourages people to ask how to get there, one author just finished an expose exploring what’s really in the popular show: left-wing propaganda.

Sesame Street, with its loveable and fuzzy characters, is really a mouthpiece for the left’s agenda. That’s the conclusion of author Ben Shapiro, who after interviewing hundreds of industry insiders found that many of Hollywood’s most popular shows, including the popular kids program, are inundated with secret political messages. And he got top executives to admit it.

Shapiro’s new book, 'Primetime Propaganda: The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took Over Your TV,' according to it’s description 'is the story—told in their own words—of how television has been used over the past sixty years by Hollywood writers, producers, actors, and executives to promote their liberal ideals, to push the envelope on social and political issues, and to shape America in their own leftist image.'

For example, Shapiro quotes Mike Dann, one of Sesame Street’s founding executives, saying it 'was not made for the sophisticated or the middle class.' Using the premise, the team worked in all sorts of messages, including Grover breaking bread with a hippie and Oscar the grouch who was supposed to address 'conflicts arising from racial and ethnic diversity.' Dann also admitted he used the program in the wake of 9/11 to highlight peaceful alternatives to war.

'Sesame Street tried to tackle divorce, tackled ‘peaceful conflict resolution’ in the aftermath of 9/11 and had [gay actor] Neil Patrick Harris on the show playing the subtly-named ‘fairy shoeperson’,' writes Shapiro, according to THR.

The news may not be surprising considering the left‘s recent use of the show’s cuddly character, Elmo. The furry, red puppet has been used to trumpet free internet, lament job loss, and even plug Michelle Obama’s child nutrition bill.

But the left-wing messages aren‘t limited to children’s programs. Adults are inundated, too. The Independent explains:


The TV series Friends undermined family values; Sesame Street taught ethnic minorities about civil disobedience; Happy Days had a subtle anti-Vietnam subtext; and the 1980s cop show MacGyver tried to persuade pistol-packing Americans that guns are bad.'


Happy Days? Friends? Believe it. Shapiro even got Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman to own up to intentionally hiring liberals and sending a strong message to conservatives in a popular episode:


'Among Shapiro’s most revelatory interviewees is Marta Kauffman, the co-creator of Friends, who recalls how she hired a “bunch of liberals” to run the programme to “put out there what we believe”. In 1999, she admitted casting the actress sister of Newt Gingrich, the prominent Republican, to play a preacher at a lesbian wedding because she wanted to annoy conservatives.

“When we did the lesbian wedding, we knew there was going to be some flack,” said Kauffman. “I have to say, when we cast Candice Gingrich as the minister of that wedding, there was a bit of a ‘fu** you’ in it to the right-wing, directly
.”'


So how did Shapiro get these executives to say such things on record. According to him, he took advantage of liberal stereotypes.

'There was a certain amount of stereotyping on their part in granting the interview,' he told the Independent. 'Many probably assumed that with a name like Shapiro and a Harvard Law credential, there was no need to Google me: I would have to be a leftist. In Hollywood, talking to a Jew with a Harvard Law baseball cap is like talking to someone wearing an Obama pin.'

'I was shocked by the openness of the Hollywood crowd when it came to admitting anti-conservative discrimination inside the industry,' he told the paper. 'They weren’t ashamed of it. In fact, some were actually proud of it.'"

The Farhūd: Kristallnacht Iraqi-Style

Most of us are at least remotely familiar with the truly horrific account of Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, in which the anti-Semitic Germans and Austrians destroyed Jewish homes and businesses on November 10, 1938.

From Wikipedia,


"Ninety-one Jews were killed, and 30,000 Jewish men—a quarter of all Jewish men in Germany—were taken to concentration camps, where they were tortured for months, with over 1,000 of them dying. Around 1,668 synagogues were ransacked, and 267 set on fire. In Vienna alone 95 synagogues or houses of prayer were destroyed."


That being said, I would guess that very few are aware that there is an Iraqi version of this dreadful event. Somehow, I am not the least surprised that something as disturbing as this took place in a Muslim nation. But, my question is: Why are we hearing about this for the first time?

Read from Israel Matzav:

Iraq's Kristallnacht 70 years later

"I was sent the following by email and urged to publish it.
Iraq’s Kristallnacht: 70 Years Later

By Robert S. Wistrich


'Seventy years ago, on June 1, 1941, the most dramatic and violent pogrom in the Arab Middle East during World War II took place in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. Known in Arabic as the Farhūd, this devastating pogrom left approximately 150 Jews dead, hundreds more wounded, and led to the ransacking of nearly 600 Jewish businesses. The grim events of June 1-2, 1941 were the Iraqi Arab equivalent of the mass violence on Kristallnacht, which had taken place some two and a half years earlier across Nazi Germany. The anti-Jewish riots were mainly led by Iraqi soldiers (bitter and frustrated by their defeat at the hands of the British Army), some members of the police and young paramilitary gangs, swiftly followed by an angry Muslim population that went on the rampage in an orgy of murder and rapine.

The pogrom struck at what was the most prosperous, prominent and well-integrated Jewish community in the Middle East – one whose origins went back more than 2,500 years – long before there was any Arab presence in the country. The 90,000 Jews of Baghdad, it should be said, played a major role in the commercial and professional life of the city. However, in the 1930s they already found themselves confronted by an increasingly virulent anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist propaganda in the Iraqi press and among nationalist political groups. This agitation treated the intensely patriotic Iraqi Jews as an alien, hostile minority who had to be ejected from all the social, economic and political positions it held in the Iraqi state.

Iraqi Arab nationalists, like their counterparts in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Egypt, had been much influenced in the 1930s by the rise of Nazi Germany. Hitler’s National Socialism attracted them as a spectacular, authoritarian model for achieving Iraqi national unity and a wider union of Arabs in the region. It was no accident that the pro-German ideologue of pan-Arabism, Sati al-Husri, exerted a major influence on Iraqi education after arriving in Baghdad in 1921, or that Michel Aflaq, the chief theoretician of the Iraqi and Syrian Ba’athists had also absorbed German national-socialist ideas while studying in Paris between 1928-1932. The Director General of the Iraqi Ministry of Education in the 1930s, Dr. Sami Shawkat, was another fanatical ideologue, especially active in instilling a military spirit (resembling the German Nazi model) in Iraqi youth. He also developed radically anti-Jewish ideas which were heavily indebted to Nazi anti-Semitism. In a book published in Baghdad in 1939, These Are Our Aims, Shawkat openly called for the annihilation of the Jews in Iraq, as a necessary prerequisite for achieving an Iraqi national revival and fulfilling the country’s ”historical mission” of uniting the Arab nation.

Significantly, it was also in Baghdad that the first official Arabic translations of parts of Hitler’s Mein Kampf appeared in 1934.'"

Don't Mess with Israel

A man after my own heart at Prophecy Update recognizes that there is a clear pattern of disasters experienced by nations when they rebel against God's Holy Word regarding His nation, Israel.

Don't mess with God's people or His land, Mr. President, or you will regret it. Look at what happened under Bush's watch; he paid dearly for his pushing Israel to divide its God-given land, as in Hurricane Katrina and a mess in Iraq, both occurring at the same time that Bush pressured Israel to give up Gaza. And let us not forget the economic upheaval which began in 2007 after Bush pressed for Israel to give up more land during the Annapolis Roadmap to Peace conference.

Read from Prophecy Update:

Genesis 12:3 and America

"We're all familiar with the scripture seen in Genesis 12:3 - where God declared that He would bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel. This was an absolute statement without qualifiers or caveats. It was meant for all nations, for all times. No exemptions.

We also see other, similar warnings, such as those found in Zechariah 12:3 where the warning was issued against any attempts to divide Israel/Jerusalem.

Several books have been written which relate specific attempts to divide Israel's land and then certain subsequent 'events' which then occurred within hours or days - such as hurricanes, earthquakes and tornadoes.

No one can be sure if these events are coincidence or the hand of God. I certainly don't feel comfortable making assumptions regarding God's intervention - but seeing the correlation between an apparent cause and effect is sometimes hard to miss.

[Additionally, it must be pointed out that no prophecy watchers (at least that I know) consider that the unfortunate Americans who were devastated by these recent tornadoes, personally 'deserved' these tragedies, or that we 'hope' such tragedies occur, etc. Quite the opposite. This is merely a matter of observation and God's word. We continue to pray for all people affected by these recent events]


Maybe doomsday is near


Once again, we've seen the U.S. hit with a series of deadly superstorms following Barack Obama's pledge to return Israel to pre-1967 borders.

Just days after Obama insisted Israel must give up lands it won through military victory with its enemies, some 200 people were killed by a tornado in Joplin, Mo.

There's a pattern here.

We saw it in Katrina, when George Bush forced Israel's withdrawal from Gaza. In fact, as everyone from Israeli rabbis to U.S. senators have noted, it seems to happen every single time the U.S. pressures Israel to divide the land
.

The phenomenon was best documented by Bill Koenig, author of 'Eye to Eye: Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel
.'


There are a number of books which describe, in detail, various efforts made by the U.S. to shrink and divide Israel's land, quickly followed by 'natural disasters'. It could be coincidence, or it could be God's hand. There is no way to prove it one way or another.

But as the author said, 'There's a pattern here.'

Look at the facts:


Koenig points out that nine of the 10 costliest insurance events in U.S. history followed dramatic calls by U.S. officials for Israel to make land concessions in bids for peace with its neighbors. He points out with startling detail how six of the seven costliest hurricanes in U.S. history followed such events. He points out how three of the four largest tornado outbreaks in U.S. history followed such developments.

Earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, even terrorist attacks have hit America often within 24 hours of calls by U.S. officials for Israel to withdraw from Jewish land.

What does this have to do with prophecy?

It goes right back to Genesis and God's pledge to bless those who bless the children of Israel and curse those who curse them.

That is a prophecy that has seen every empire of the world come and go – yet Israel remains. It may be chastened by God. It may be dispersed. It may be divided according to His will. But God has punished every nation that has come against Israel. Each one has been judged
.


Should this really be surprising? After all, God said it and He is usually good on His word isn't He?


You can choose to believe it or not. It won't make any difference.

But he that touches the apple of God's eye will pay a price: 'For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.' – Zechariah 2:8


And below are some important reminders:


In God's economy, there is Israel and then there are the other nations.

It was through Israel He chose to reveal Himself to the world – eventually through the birth, life, death and resurrection of His own Son.

And His Son is coming back to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. It's no surprise where He will return and where He will reign – in Jerusalem.

Trying to understand God and His Son Yeshua apart from Israel is a tall order – because that's how He revealed Himself to us.

His ways are not our ways, and our ways are not His ways
.


And this is also important to remember:


I don't know exactly what date He will be coming back.

I'm not sure exactly when He is going to call out His children.

But I do know it's near
.


Amen."

Meet the Most Experienced Governor in the U.S.

With much discontent over the selection of GOP presidential candidates, there may be a new man to step into the ring. How does a President Perry sound? Hey, after 2 1/2 years of an Obama nation, a President Mickey Mouse would be appealing to many.

Read from the American Thinker:

The Dark Horse Who Could Win It All
Russ Vaughn

"If you were to compile a list of attributes that could make a dark horse Republican candidate the next President of the United States it might look something like this:


'Raised on a ranch in a 60's family of politically active, conservative Democrats

An Eagle Scout whose son would also earn that same distinction

A former Air Force officer and pilot of multi-engine, tactical aircraft

A successful cotton farmer

Married to his childhood sweetheart, a registered nurse, with two children

Served in his state legislature as a Democrat

Named by a leading state newspaper as one of the state's most effective legislators

A conservative Democrat who became a Republican in 1989

Elected state agriculture commissioner in 1990

Re-elected state agriculture commissioner in 1994 by huge margin

Elected his state's first ever Republican lieutenant governor in 1998

Ascended to the office of governor in 2000 when his boss got a promotion

Re-elected to the governorship in 2002, 2006 and 2010

Now the most senior, longest-serving most experienced governor in the U.S.

The widely-respected current chairman of the Republican Governor's Association

A fiscal conservative who has built the most prosperous state economy in America

A social conservative and outspoken proponent of limited federal government powers

A tall, lean, ruggedly handsome and articulate man with a lovely and gracious first lady'



Last time around, American voters threw caution to the winds and elected as president a man with a dubious past, dubious friends and dubious qualifications to lead, whose sole attraction was his ability to make pleasing but empty promises on a teleprompter. Look at where that's gotten us. Now look at the above résumé and tell me you don't think this country could use a leader with all that executive experience and that long track record of success. Think about it: we have a president who can't run on his record and we could pit against him a man who could do exactly that, with a record that is unequaled anywhere else in the American political spectrum

From what I read here at American Thinker and elsewhere, I believe America is starved for leadership and here we have a conservative Republican chief executive who has it in spades. Conservatives, Republicans and independents should be praying that this man will step forward and declare his candidacy for president. Look at that list one more time and tell me a man like this isn't what this country needs to lead us out of the quagmire Obama and the Democrats have led us into.

This man is Rick Perry, Governor of Texas and Chief Executive Officer of the nation's most successful state economy, a true fiscal and social conservative and a strong proponent of states' rights and limited federal intrusion into our lives: the dark horse who could win it all.

The Raping of Infidels

Perhaps, the anti-Semites in Norway should wake up and smell the roses. Jews aren't raping their women. But, guess who is? Of course, the politically correct Norwegian media will not dare mention which religion is common to these rapists.

Evil triumphs once again.

From Atlas Shrugs:

Norway: ALL Rapes In Past 5 Years Committed By Muslims "Non-Western" Immigrants



They have given over their wives and daughters so as ..... not to offend Muslims. Counter jihad bloggers have been blogging for years on the rape epidemic by Muslims in Europe. and still, it gets worse.

Add 'non-Western' to the long list of codewords like 'youths'.... 'asians'....'immigrants' for Muslims. For the PC Dhmmi media and elites to taint all immigrants with this is outright xenophobic. We can't say 'Muslim terrorist,' but 'rapist immigrant' is OK.

One 12-year-old rape victim was told by her Muslim rapist, 'He said he had the right to do exactly as he wanted to a woman.' Mind you, he is saying this to a 12-year-old. 'Why?' 'Because that is how it was in his religion. Women did not have rights or opinions, he was in charge.'

This is madness. Consider that Lars Hedegaard was on trial for 'racism' for speaking of the sexual violence against Muslim females in a private conversation. And the priest Jesper Langballe was last year fined 5000 dollars for publicly backing up Hedegaard's opinions.

Thanks to Armaros for the video.

UPDATE: Madelina in comments:


'I am a young Norwegian woman, living in Oslo, and this is how everyday life is for the female indigenous population:

I walk down the street every morning to the metro station, and in the morning rush I always get sly glances, "kissing notions" and sleasy comments thrown my way, and they come from - without any exception - from our "cultural enrichers". Sexual harassment has become a part of everyday life here in Oslo, and I would never dream of going home alone after dark in this city. That is an invitation for rape.

Once upon a time a woman could walk home at any time of the day or night, and she would be completely safe. But that is a long, long time ago. Now we have gang fights, cars set on fire, threats against Jews and rape. G-d, I pray that our politicians and "elites" meets the same end as Vidkun Quisling did

Bibi Vs. Obama

One of the benefits Bibi received from his showdown with Obama:

Poll: Netanyahu’s Approval Rating Soars, Jumps From 38% to 51% After Trip to America…

Every time Obama goes up against Netanyahu, he comes out the loser.

From Weasel Zipper:

Netanyahu Quotes Expert Who Said He ‘Beat Obama Like A Red-Headed Step-Child

"Another score for Bibi.


'Upon his return from Washington, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu made use of the Cabinet meeting Sunday to quote U.S. foreign affairs expert Walter Russell Mead, who wrote that “Israel is an American value.”

Mead, Editor-at-Large of The American Interest and former Senior Fellow for U.S. Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations, also wrote that Netanyahu had “eviscerated” President Barack Obama in their latest match-up, and the fact that Netanyahu quoted him could be an indication of his own assessment of his Washington visit
.'


And then.


'Mead’s post about Netanyahu’s face-off with President Barack Obama in Washington last week was ecstatic.

"Three times [Obama] has gone up against Netanyahu,” wrote Mead; “three times he has ingloriously failed."

"This last defeat — Netanyahu’s deadly, devastating speech to Congress in which he eviscerated President Obama’s foreign policy to prolonged and repeated standing ovations by members of both parties — may have been the single most stunning and effective public rebuke to an American President a foreign leader has ever delivered.

"Netanyahu beat Obama like a red-headed stepchild; he played him like a fiddle; he pounded him like a big brass drum. The Prime Minister of Israel danced rings around his arrogant, professorial opponent. It was like watching the Harlem Globetrotters go up against the junior squad from Miss Porter’s School; like watching Harvard play Texas A&M, like watching Bambi meet Godzilla — or Bill Clinton run against Bob Dole
."'


OUCH"

Body Language Revealed

No surprise here. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to recognize that Obama and Netanyahu despise each other.

From Gateway Pundit:

Body Language Expert: Obama Has “Contempt In His Eyes” For Netanyahu (Video)

"Body language expert Tanya Reiman told Bill O’Reilly tonight that Obama lied and was no friend of Netanyahu. Reiman said that Obama has 'contempt in his eyes' and displays it with his body language when he is with Benjamin Netanyahu.
It was obvious.



Narcissists don’t like being challenged.

Body language expert Tanya Reiman:


'No, I would say that is a very big lie, when they talk about being friends… They don’t like each other. I’m adamantly convinced that they don’t like each other.'

'When you look at two people who are friends you don’t see contempt in the eyes of one. So, President Obama is looking and as you see him he starts to grab his chin really hard and he’s staring and he gets that glare in his eye and he’s squeezing his chin as he does this.
'


The Wall Street Journal added, 'What would we do without experts?'"

The Military's Love Affair with Obama

From Gallup, via Hot Air:

U.S. Military Personnel, Veterans Give Obama Lower Marks
Younger, active-duty military less likely to have an opinion on Obama either way

"U.S. military veterans and those currently on active military duty are less likely to approve of President Obama's job performance than are Americans of comparable ages who are not in the military."

I wonder how much the overturning of Don't Ask Don't Tell has impacted Obama's approval rating. The real manly men don't take too kindly to being in close quarters with girly men.

Coming to a Hospital Near You

Oh, the joys of socialized medicine. And to think that the GOP is taking a hit for Ryan's Medicare ideas. Americans haven't seen nothin' yet until they see the harm that ObamaCare will bring to our country, especially to senior citizens, the same people who are frightened of Ryan's plan, even though it will have no effect on them whatsoever.

Read from Weasel Zippers:

The Joys of Socialized Healthcare: UK Doctors Prescribing Water to Keep Elderly Patients From Dying of Thirst…

"How any rational adult could think socialism is the answer is beyond me.

(Daily Mail) — 'Doctors are prescribing drinking water for neglected elderly patients to stop them dying of thirst in hospital.

The measure – to remind nurses of the most basic necessity – is revealed in a damning report on pensioner care in NHS wards.

Some trusts are neglecting the elderly on such a fundamental level their wards could face closure orders.

The snapshot study, triggered by a Mail campaign, found staff routinely ignored patients’ calls for help and forgot to check that they had had enough to eat and drink.

Dehydration contributes to the death of more than 800 hospital patients every year

Lovin' on Cain

Honesty and politics are like oil and water; sadly, they do not mix. That is why conservatives are attracted to a new and different type of candidate for president, someone who has had no political experience, a man of honesty and integrity who will own up to a mistake instead of dishing out the usual spin we hear from politicians on both sides of the aisle.

Herman Cain is The Man. He's probably too pure to every get the support of the GOP establishment because he would not let them push him around. Nevertheless, Cain is igniting some excitement among conservatives.

Gallup Study Shows Cain With Highest Positive Intensity Score -- Voters Like His Honesty
by Tony Lee

"According to Gallup, businessman Herman Cain 'has the highest Positive Intensity Score among Republicans of any potential GOP candidate still in the race' and his 'intensity Score of 27 matches the highest yet recorded for any candidate or potential candidate this year.'

The same survey, though, found that 'Cain's name recognition among Republicans remains quite low -- at 33%, better than only Gary Johnson's 20% and Jon Huntsman's 27% -- but has climbed 12 points since March.'

Cain, who formally announced his run for the presidency this past weekend before an overfill crowd of over 12,000 people in Atlanta, Georgia showed this week why Republican primary voters who have heard him or gotten to know him have a strong, positive feeling for him.

After his announcement, Cain went on national television last Sunday and, by many conventional metrics, flopped. When asked by 'Fox News Sunday' host Chris Wallace where he stood on the right of return, Cain seemed puzzled by what 'right of return' meant.

This exchange, especially because it occurred the weekend before Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before the United States Congress and after Barack Obama’s remarks about how the peace process use the 1967 borders as a starting point, ignited the requisite controversy any comment about the Middle East always does. It caused the chattering class to pause and wonder if Cain, whose appearance on 'Fox News Sunday' was similar to John Edwards’ maiden appearance on Meet The Press that was widely panned, was actually ready for primetime.

The next day on 'Hannity,' though, Cain showed why his anti-politician persona and theme is resonating. Cain admitted candidly to Hannity that Wallace’s question about the right of return 'caught me off-guard' and he 'didn’t understand the right of return' and that the question, to him, 'came out of left field,' and 'out of all the questions I anticipated him asking me, I didn’t even conceive of him asking me about the right of return.'

Cain admitted that 'I now know what that is' and said, referring to himself in the third person, that 'the thing that you’re going to learn about Herman Cain, if he doesn’t know something, he’s not going to try and fake it or give an answer that he doesn’t know what hes talking about.'

Cain then gave one of the savviest answers of this election cycle, which surely is a testament to his advisers, who have been the savviest so far in this nascent election cycle. Cain told Hannity 'the thing about that right of return that I’ve learned since Sunday' was that the Palestinians were not 'kicked out of Israel by the Jews, no! Their Arab leaders asked them to leave because they thought they were going to annihilate what was left, and then they’re going to go back. So yes, I still stick by my answer.'

The answer was savvy and showed Cain’s potential learning curve because it was a direct rebuke to Wallace’s insinuation in his initial question that the Jews had kicked out the Palestinians. By implication, it showed that even a well polished Sunday talk show host often does not have all the right facts or answers.

Going forward, Cain’s challenge will be getting his name known to more people while closing the deal with those who have heard of him and are considering him. he must convince them that he has enough substance and is comfortable enough with a range of issues to be the chief executive."

The Obama Administration Is Beyond Clueless

President Obama is doing himself a great disservice by linking himself to the Arab Spring taking place in the Middle East. The way things are looking over there, he would be wise to run from any association. But, "wise" has never been an adjective for which one would describe our president.

Read from Jihad Watch:

Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood leader says they will apply Sharia once they come to power

"But remember: Clueless Clapper, the director of National 'Intelligence,' said they were a 'largely secular' group.

More from the man featured in this story, including his retraction of a statement he made in that one. 'Brotherhood leader: We shall apply Islamic sharia,' by Khalaf Ali Hassan for AlMasry AlYoum, May 25:


'The Muslim Brotherhood would apply Islamic sharia if it came to power, said leading Brotherhood figure Sobhi Saleh, adding that sharia protects non-Muslim citizens.

“Terms like civil or secular state are misleading,” he said. “Islamic sharia is the best system for Muslims and non-Muslims."

Saleh apologized for his earlier statements that the Muslim Brotherhood could not recognize liberals or communists as Muslims, and that he disapproved of Muslims marrying outside the group.

“The media incorrectly paraphrased my statements,” he said
.'"


"Islamic sharia is the best system for Muslims and non-Muslims." Yeah, right. All non-Muslims appreciate honor killings and other forms of outrageous misogyny.

If that weren't bad enough, Egypt is now helping out Hamas by reopening the Rafah crossing. Find out what that means via Jihad Watch:

Spencer: Egypt comes out for Hamas

"In the lead article at Front Page this morning I discuss the significance of this story:

Egypt Comes Out for Hamas
by Robert Spencer

'In one of the clearest signs yet that the “Arab Spring” in post-Mubarak Egypt heralds a resurgent Islamic supremacism rather than a flowering of Western-style pluralism and democracy, Egyptian officials announced Wednesday that they were reopening the Rafah crossing this Saturday.

The Rafah crossing is the only official point of entry into Gaza other than from inside Israel
. Egypt closed it for good in 2007 after Hamas took power in Gaza, as part of its uneasy observance of the Camp David Accords maintaining peace with Israel. The Rafah crossing had been an easy route into Israel for jihadis and their weapons suppliers who, for obvious reasons, wanted to avoid Israeli scrutiny.

But now it appears that peace with Israel is no longer such a high priority; instead, the new government in Egypt appears to be more concerned with accommodating Israel’s jihadist enemies. Egyptian officials announced that the Rafah crossing was being reopened in order to “end the status of the Palestinian division and achieve national reconciliation.”

The reopening of the Rafah crossing is just the latest indication that Egypt is heading toward becoming a Sharia state that is pursuing war with Israel. Man-on-the-street interviews conducted during the uprising against Mubarak more than once found ordinary Egyptians explaining to clueless and incredulous reporters from the likes of CNN that one of their principal beefs with Mubarak was that he maintained peace with Israel. “He is supporting Israel. Israel is our enemy,” protesters explained to the journalists who had come out looking for ringing declarations of love for democracy and pluralism. Instead, they heard that “if people are free in Egypt…they gonna destroy Israel.” Many of the demonstrators carried posters of Mubarak defaced with a Star of David drawn on his forehead.

In January, Mohamed Ghanem, a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, said in an interview on Iran’s Al-Alam television station that Egypt should prepare to go to war with Israel. That same month, Iran’s Press TV interviewed an Egyptian international lawyer Marwan al-Ashaal. Al-Ashaal explained the popular discontent with Mubarak as a direct consequence of his keeping the peace with Israel: “Currently the Egyptians demand a new rule for the country, a new government, a new leader. The American-Egyptian relationships were based on Israeli security and I think Mubarak has been very dedicated to Israeli security more even than to his own people’s security or the national interests.” Al-Ashaal asserted that “we see the deals with Israel that provoked people and took them to the edge.” And he declared that Egypt is “never going to be a friend of Israel.”

7 Against 1: At G8 Summit Canadian PM Stephen Harper Only Leader Refusing to Back Obama’s Demands Israel Withdraw to ’67 Borders

"Stand strong, Mr. Harper. We support you!


(Globe and Mail) — 'It was meant to be, as Barack Obama described it in London with his British counterpart beside him, another unified mission to storm the beaches of Normandy in the name of peace and democracy.

And the Western world’s leaders do plan to use the Deauville, France, G8 summit to present a united front on the conflicts and revolutions of the Middle East. But one of the rare sources of friction has turned out to be the renegade Middle East views of Stephen Harper.

Alone among G8 leaders, the Canadian Prime Minister refuses to embrace the U.S. President’s plan to begin peace negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis on the basis of a return to Israel’s de facto borders as they existed before its 1967 war with neighbouring Arab countries – a precondition, accepted by Arabs and by many previous Israeli leaders and Canadian governments, that would be necessary to get Palestinians back to the table.

Mr. Harper made his opposition to that position clear through a spokesperson shortly after Mr. Obama’s Middle East speech last week in a pre-G8 briefing, making him the lone leader in the G8 not to back the U.S. preconditions.

A unified statement on a negotiated path to a Palestinian state had been a key goal of the Deauville summit, in large part because such a statement might have pre-empted an attempt to pass a United Nations resolution that would declare a Palestinian state against Israel’s will.

There was some sense that Canada is putting an obstacle in the way of this goal. “Mr. Harper clearly is the odd man out on this one, and it won’t do him any favours,” a British official involved with the G8 conference said.

Indeed, the summit opened Wednesday after a day of meetings between Mr. Obama and Britain’s Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron in which the two leaders made a bold show of having brought together their positions on Israel, the Palestinians and the Arab revolutions.

Mr. Cameron has generally been much tougher in his criticisms of Israel and more hawkish in his support of Arab revolutions than his U.S. counterpart, but Mr. Obama said they had “turned a corner” and built a common front. Mr. Cameron, standing beside the U.S. President, called his speech “bold” and “visionary.”

Now we know which country is going to receive all the blessing that used to be reserved for the United States back when we were a nation which honored Israel.

Class Vs. Ego

When it comes to Obama, it is ALWAYS all about him. What an arrogant, narcissistic piece of humanity we have elected. Actually, I take that back because I had nothing to do with this shameful election, nor did millions of other patriots who love their country dearly and fought hard to keep Obama out of the White House.

To think that people elected a man who voted to permit babies who had survived brutal abortions to be left to die without medical treatment, who chose to worship twenty years in a hate-filled church such as Jeremiah Wright's, and who associated with a homegrown terrorist such as Bill Ayers. Unbelievable! The gullible American voters are to blame for the fact that a man lacking any character whatsoever is sitting in the White House.

I've had my issues with George W. Bush, but he knew to give credit to the military when they deserved it, unlike Obama. Watch this shameful video showing the different reactions from the two presidents as they announce to the American people the death of two of the most wicked enemies our nation has ever known.

From Gateway Pundit:

Obama versus Bush: The Difference Between Real Leadership and an Egomaniac (Video)

"Maybe you’ve already seen this already but it is worth repeating.
The difference between real effective leadership and an egomaniac.
Via The Humble Libertarian:



First, here is President George W. Bush announcing the capture of Saddam Hussein in 2003.


'The success of yesterday’s mission is a tribute to our men and women now serving in Iraq . The operation was based on the superb work of intelligence analysts who found the dictator’s footprints in a vast country. The operation was carried out with skill and precision by a brave fighting force. Our servicemen and women and our coalition allies have faced many dangers in the hunt for members of the fallen regime, and in their effort to bring hope and freedom to the Iraqi people. Their work continues, and so do the risks. Today, on behalf of the nation, I thank the members of our Armed Forces and I congratulate ‘em.'


And, here is Barack Obama’s speech after Osaama Bin Laden was killed last month.


'Tonight, I can report . . . And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta . . . I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden . . . I met repeatedly with my national security team . . . I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action. . . . Today, at my direction . . . I’ve made clear . . . Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear . . . Tonight, I called President Zardari . . . and my team has also spoken. . .These efforts weigh on me every time I, as Commander-in-Chief . . . Finally, let me say to the families . . . I know that it has, at times, frayed. . . .'


Tar Heel Red summed it up best:


'I’m not sure you can sum up the effectiveness of a Presidency in so few words, but you can get a hint at the style of the man. Go ahead – read it again. You’ll begin to see the difference between a man comfortable in his role as leader and a man who isn’t sure; is running scared. Obama wasn’t qualified when he won. And he isn’t qualified now.'"

Expose the Lies

America is a center-right nation. The only way in which liberals can win elections is if they lie to the public about their true intentions and if they lie about the conservative agenda being offered. These tactics have proven successful in the past. If they hadn't been, we would never have had a Clinton or an Obama Administration, nor would we have a Democratic majority in the Senate.

The liberals were brutal concerning the Paul Ryan plan to save Medicare. Thanks to their deceptiveness and the American Pravda aiding them every chance they get, which amounts to 24/7, seniors are terrified that the GOP will take away their Medicare, and since they are a huge and faithful voting bloc, this ploy is proving beneficial to the liberals, as in the recent Democratic victory in the open House seat in New York.

We need to get the truth out so America's elderly can see that the libs are lying to them. How ironic that they are making the GOP to be the evil "grandma killers" when they are the ones who have cut 1/2 trillion dollars from Medicare in ObamaCare.

From Gateway Pundit:

Paul Ryan Posts Path to Prosperity Part II to Counter Dem Lies About Medicare (Video)

"Democrats believe they have found a winning strategy for the 2012 elections – lie to the American people about the GOP plan to save Medicare and to mock and misrepresent any proposal that would cut back on Barack Obama’s historic spending levels.

Despite the fact that Obama has tripled the national deficit, democrats have no intention of cutting spending even if it bankrupts the country.
They believe this is a winning strategy for 2012.

Today Paul Ryan countered their lies with The Path to Prosperity (Episode 2)
The Facts on Medicare and How to save It



Chairman Paul Ryan issued the following statement on the need for clear facts to counter the false attacks made by those unwilling to work with House Republicans to save Medicare.
From the video:


'House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan: “We can no longer let politicians in Washington deny the danger to Medicare — the danger is all too real, and the health of our nation’s seniors is far too important. We have to save Medicare to avoid disruptions in benefits for current seniors, and to strengthen the program for future generations. House Republicans have put forward a plan to do just that. Democratic leaders in Congress have failed to produce a plan — it has been 755 days since Senate Democrats even passed a budget. Meanwhile, the President’s plan would empower a panel of 15 unelected bureaucrats to cut Medicare for current seniors, while failing to save the program for future retirees.

“This video lays out the clear choice our nation faces on Medicare: Will Medicare become a program in which a board of bureaucrats manages its bankruptcy by denying care to seniors? Or will leaders work together to save and strengthen Medicare by empowering seniors to choose health care plans that work best for them, with less support for the wealthy and more help for the poor and the sick? House Republicans have advanced solutions to save Medicare. Instead of working with us, the leaders of the Democratic Party have opted to play politics with the health security of America’s seniors.”
'

It’s a good start but Republicans will have to work much harder if they don’t want the democrat-media complex to dominate the narrative.

More on this here."

Yes, We Cain

All we hear from the American Pravda is how unhappy Republicans are with their presidential candidates. Perhaps, if more Americans got a glimpse of Herman Cain, we could change those statistics.

Read from the National Review:

Herman Cain on His 2012 Chances
The former Godfather’s Pizza CEO heats up the GOP primary
.

"Herman Cain sees an opening.

As numerous big-name Republicans drop out of the race, Cain, a former pizza magnate, tells National Review Online that he can win the GOP presidential nod.

'I can’t say who else might get in,' Cain says. 'But if you look at the announced candidates — Newt Gingrich, Tim Pawlenty, Ron Paul, Gary Johnson, and me — I think my chances of getting the nomination are just as great as their chances, and probably better than some of them.'

'People are looking for a candidate,' Cain explains, days after he announced his run at an Atlanta rally. 'Fewer people are competing for the same votes and the same dollars. We have a real opportunity to pick up some support.'

The polls back up his confidence. A new Gallup survey shows Cain with a huge following among conservatives who are paying attention to the 2012 campaign. 'Cain, although still not widely known, has the highest "positive intensity score" among Republicans of any potential GOP candidate still in the race,' Gallup reports. 'His ‘positive intensity score’ of 27 matches the highest yet recorded for any candidate or potential candidate this year.'

Cain, a longtime Georgia resident, predicts that he can build a national network of conservatives — and fill the void in the GOP primary for a southern man. He thinks that he can perform very well in South Carolina’s primary and, as a fresh voice in Iowa and New Hampshire, rise quickly.

'I do not believe that the South, nor Georgia, is necessarily Newt Gingrich’s territory, simply because of the experience that he has there,' Cain says. 'We are going to do well in all of these early states. People are connecting with my message, with my commonsense solutions and my passion.'

'People know that I am not just giving a stump speech,' he continues. 'I am giving speeches about what is in my head and in my heart. That is resonating. So I am going to keep doing what I have been doing, which is building a ‘bottom-up’ campaign around the country.'

Cain acknowledges that his momentum has not garnered much media coverage. After toiling for months under the radar, he is ready to 'call names.'

'ABC, CBS, and NBC are pretending that I don’t exist,' Cain says. 'Occasionally, they ask me to come do an interview; then, right before it happens, they cancel it. There are a couple of theories out there about why this is the case. One is that I am the last person they’d like to see run against Barack Obama.'

Cain pauses. 'Just a theory,' he chuckles.

On the fiscal front, Cain promises to support Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget, especially as other contenders, such as Gingrich, shy away from the proposal.

'I absolutely support Paul Ryan’s plan,' Cain says. 'It is exactly the kind of bold restructuring that we need in order to get our hands around the entitlements issue. We need to restructure programs, not just reshuffle, which is what we did for decades, and now look where we are.'

'Liberals are trying to make it seem like we are going to throw old people off of the bridge,' Cain grumbles as he details the response to Ryan’s budget. 'That is a lie. That is all they can say, because they don’t want to fix the status quo.'

Regardless of the results in Tuesday’s special election in New York’s 26th congressional district, Cain urges Republicans to 'run on' the Ryan budget in 2012.

'I have always followed the principle that once people understand something, they will support it and they will demand it,' Cain says. 'I think that we ought to run on it, but we are going to have to do the heavy lifting to make sure that people understand it.'

Turning to trade, Cain tells me that he will not use China as a piñata on the trail. Although he has concerns about some of the country’s trade practices, 'China is not the problem,' he says. 'Our economic growth is the problem. If we can start to grow in a robust fashion, we won’t even have to look back at China.'

Fundraising, however, remains a top priority for the 65-year-old businessman, who has never held political office. 'I’ll be honest with you, I had to put in some initial capital to get my campaign going,' he says. 'But I never intended to trust fund my campaign. Yes, I had to put some money in, and I have no regrets about that. But the good news is that beyond that, we are now doing very well, especially after the first debate in South Carolina.'

In recent weeks, Cain has reached out to former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, who has bowed out of the 2012 race, and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, who has not decided on a run but has spoken positively about Cain in the past. Cain also keeps in close contact with Rep. Michele Bachmann’s political team.

As a Baptist preacher, Cain hopes to connect with Palin, a prominent social conservative, and reach out to her supporters, should she choose to stay on the sidelines.

'We are reaching out to [Palin] as we speak,' Cain says. 'She is not afraid to stir the pot; she is not afraid to call it like it is. A lot of people are hoping that she runs.'

'But if she does not,' he notes, 'I want her to continue to say good things about me.'"


I don't know about that "Baptist preacher" reference. I never heard that before and can't find anything to substantiate it.

"Government Can’t Be 'For' Jobs and Against Those Who Create Them"

Americans need to get back to work so they can provide for themselves and for their families. If they have money in their pockets, they will soon be out spending it and bringing our economy out of the pits of darkness.

But, our president is doing everything in his power to make sure none of this happens. It is becoming crystal clear that he does not want Americans to be self-sufficient; he wants them on the big government dole so he can be assured that they will cast their future votes for him and his leftist comrades in Congress. Obama's biggest dream is a collapse of the U.S. economy, as in the Cloward-Piven strategy, and then the institution of his socialist utopian form of government.

It is our job as patriotic Americans to do everything in our power to wake up the zombies who have fallen for his senseless "hope and change" and make sure his plan is never fulfilled.

Read about the necessary steps that are needed to put Americans back to work, and ask yourself if Obama is anywhere near trying to implement these critical methods.

From Human Events:

Mr. President, Here's How You Create Jobs
by David Kim

"Dear President Obama,

I came to America at the age of 12 with very little and have since been blessed to employ thousands of Americans at my hundreds of restaurants and stores across the United States. I, like thousands of other CEOs and business owners, know how to create jobs. But Mr. President, gauging from the chronically unacceptable jobless numbers from the U.S. Labor Bureau, the path we’re on isn’t working.

I love America with everything that I am. We are the greatest country on planet Earth. But I am sickened to see what is happening to our nation economically. Everything that should be going down is going up. Everything that should be going up is going down.

Food prices are through the roof and expected to remain 'high and volatile' for the next few years. Nationwide, the average cost of a gallon of gas is a jaw-dropping $3.82.

Teenage summertime jobs—the experience that teaches young people the value of hard work, professionalism, punctuality, and that ignites entrepreneurialism—have now hit record lows. Just one in four U.S. teens will land a job this summer.

The outlook for adult workers is equally bleak. Despite adding 244,000 jobs last month, the unemployment rate went up to 9%. The seeming paradox is explained by the simple fact that the Department of Labor’s unemployment numbers only count people actively looking for a job. This means that, according to Gallup, the national 'underemployed' number is a staggering 19.2%a national tragedy by anyone’s estimation.

So, on behalf of the millions of small-, medium- and large-business owners out there—the job creators—here are three ways we can spark millions of jobs in America:

1. Taxes Strangle Jobs. Lower Them.

Mr. President, you were just in Ireland. Please ask an Irish business owner what the corporate tax rate is in Ireland. I’ll save you some time, because I know you’re busy: It’s 12.5%. The U.S. corporate tax rate? It’s the second-highest in the world: 39.2%. This means a company can cut its tax burden by 26.7% simply by sending its jobs to Ireland. This isn’t rocket science. The Milken Institute estimates that even just lowering the rate to be in alignment with the global average (22%) would create 2.13 million jobs over the next eight years and would add $375.55 billion to our GDP.

Moving a business across the ocean used to be hard. Now, it’s as simple as the click of a mouse. If we don’t act, jobs will continue to evaporate. We must lower the business tax burden.

2. Cut the Job-Killing Regulatory Red Tape

Julie Murphy is 7 years old. She lives in Portland, Ore. Like most of us growing up, her first business venture was a lemonade stand. But little Julie’s lemonade stand was shut down when Portland health regulators said she needed a $120.00 temporary restaurant license to sell cups of lemonade.

This is absurd. And it’s just one example of how bad things have gotten. Everyone agrees that we want safe, environmentally responsible, and healthy work environments and products. But binding industries in red tape isn’t the way to get there. It’s also a surefire way to kill jobs.

3. Get Smart on Research & Development Tax Credits and Export Controls

Mr. President, want to know how we can create 656,000 jobs in America in eight years? Simply bump the research and development tax credit up to 25% and modernize export controls on commercially available technology products so American companies can snag international market share. As the Milken Institute’s report concluded, doing those two things will spark massive job creation and will boost our GDP by $261.9 billion.

The simple fact is that government doesn’t create jobs. The millions of entrepreneurs in the private sector do. My heart breaks every time I see the endless job fair lines or read the chronically abysmal jobs numbers that come out month after month, Mr. President. Please listen to those of us who own small, medium and large businesses. We’re not the enemy. We want to hire people. We want to create a stronger, richer country.

The simple fact is this: Government can’t be 'for' jobs and against those who create them.

We know you are busy, Mr. President. But the solutions aren’t hard. Empower entrepreneurs to help our nation do the heavy lifting of job creation and we will do it. We are eager, willing and ready."

Stay Out of Indiana's Business, Mr. President

The most abortion-friendly president in the history of our nation, Barack Obama, will not be content unless this nation is slaughtering as many babies in the womb as possible.

Doesn't Obama have enough on his plate with three wars, an economic disaster, sky-high unemployment, increased costs in fuel and food, and record debt? Is it really necessary that he sticks his nose in Indiana law which has banned the funding to the abortion mill known as Planned Parenthood?

Read from Weasel Zippers:

Obama Regime Considers Taking Action to Stop Indiana From Defunding Planned Parenthood…

"Unbelievable. Scratch that, it’s all too believable.


WASHINGTON — 'The Obama administration is raising serious objections to a new Indiana law that cuts off state and federal money for Planned Parenthood clinics providing health care to low-income women on Medicaid.

The objections set the stage for a clash between the White House and Gov. Mitch Daniels, a Republican, over an issue that ignites passions in both parties.

The changes in Indiana are subject to federal review and approval, and administration officials have made it clear they will not approve the changes in the form adopted by the state.

Federal officials have 90 days to act but may feel pressure to act sooner because Indiana is already enforcing its law, which took effect on May 10, and because legislators in other states are working on similar measures

Chris Wallace's Major Blunder

Much has been made of the misstep by GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain because he did not know the meaning of the Palestinian "right of return" when he was interviewed last week by Fox News's Chris Wallace.

What is not making the news is the fact that Wallace tried to rewrite the historical account of the 1948 war between Israel and the Arabs. No surprise that the lie was directed at Israel. The American Pravda can't seem to get enough of the hatred for Israel.

Read all about it from the American Thinker:

Chris Wallace says Israel 'Kicked Out' Palestinians
By Richard Baehr

"I think Chris Wallace of Fox News Sunday is one of the better interviewers among the various news channel hosts. He is prepared, and pushes pretty hard with everybody, though not in an obnoxious fashion. He chooses to remain the interviewer, and not become the story. Unfortunately, Wallace injected himself into an interview Sunday, with the use of language that can be best described as inflammatory and historically inaccurate.

In an interview with newly announced GOP Presidential candidate Herman Cain, Wallace asked a few questions about Cain's support of Israel.

He then asked him about the Palestinian right of return. When Cain seemed unaware of the issue, Wallace tried to clarify the issue for him that the right of return was for the Palestinians who were 'kicked out' by Israel in the 48 war.


WALLACE: Do you think the Palestinian refugees, the people who were kicked out of the land in 1948, should be able or should have any right to return to Israeli land?


This statement is evidence that Wallace is unaware of the circumstances of the 1948 war, or the history of the refugees since that war.

The 1948 war began with Arab attacks the day the U.N. passed the partition resolution in November 1947, which was accepted by the Zionists, and rejected by the Arabs in mandate Palestine and the Arab nations. The war escalated when 5 Arab armies invaded in May 1948 when the British withdrew, with a goal of wiping out the Jewish presence. The most comprehensive histories of that period are in books by Benny Morris, and Efraim Karsh. Wallace might want to read them. About 600,000 Arabs abandoned homes in the war that went on for over a year. Very few of them were kicked out or driven out by the Zionists.

That did happen, but only in a few places. The great majority of the Arabs left due to other circumstances -- fleeing a war zone where hand to hand close range fighting was going on, or because they were encouraged to do so by the invading Arab armies, telling them to come back to their homes after the Zionists were eliminated. All the contemporary news accounts of the day, and statements by Arab leaders support this conclusion.

While this war was going on, an equal number of Jews in Arab countries -- Yemen, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and other Arab countries -- were driven from their homes and their countries. Most of the Jewish refugees moved to Israel, and were accepted as full citizens. None of them lingered in refugee camps for decades. The treatment of the Arab refugees by Arab nations was different. Many were never resettled, and many never obtained citizenship in their new countries. Many were never allowed to work, but were forced to remain in stagnant camps, funded by the UNWRA, where indoctrination of future generations consisted mainly of blaming Israel for their plight.

Of the 600,000 original Arab refugees, perhap 75,000 are alive today. Yet the Palestinians claim 5 million refugees. They do this because alone among the refugee populations of the world, the U.N considers descendants of the original refugees, whether 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation, as refugees, even though they never even set foot in Israel in their lives. The Palestinians and Arab nations blame Israel for the plight of the refugees, but it is their cynical use of the refugee issue, that has kept alive a refugee population 63 years after a war, and embittered Palestinians from ever accepting a Jewish majority state of Israel.

The Palestinians want to flood Israel with five million 'non-refugee refugees' in order to become a majority in Israel and change the character of the state. All the so-called foreign policy experts who have looked at ways to resolve the conflict, and all the U.S. Presidents who have spoken about the issue, including Obama on several occasions, have argued that Palestinian refugees would need to be resettled in a new Palestinian state, or in Arab countries, or Western countries, with some compensation provided, assuming a two state solution that ended the conflict could be achieved.

Calling for a right of return to Israel is part of a strategy to end the Zionist state, the same strategy that created the refugee situation in the beginning. There are consequences to starting wars and losing them.

Wallace might want to read up a bit, and then tell his viewers next week that his statement was incorrect."


Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. He probably believes the nonsense he spouts. Liberals are in the tank for the Palestinians and have convinced themselves that Israel is the evil villain in every case. Facts are of no consequence to them.

America had better wake up and stand against the threat of Islam or we will become like Europe, and that is not a good thing.

Check out what the Brits are dealing with, via Jihad Watch:

UK: Muslims slash teacher's face and fracture his skull: "He’s mocking Islam and he’s putting doubts in people’s minds"

'"How can somebody take a job to teach Islam when they’re not even a Muslim themselves?' And so the obvious response, as always, is not to refute anything he said, but to resort to thuggery.

An update on this story. 'Muslim gang launched horrific attack on religious studies teacher they did not want teaching girls,' from the Daily Mail, May 24 (thanks to Darcy):


'A gang of four Muslim men launched a horrific attack on an RE teacher because they did not approve of him teaching religious studies to Muslim girls, a court heard yesterday.

Gary Smith, 28, was left with facial scarring, both long and short-term memory loss, and now has no sense of smell.

He became depressed after
his face was slashed and he suffered a brain hemorrhage, fractured skull and broken jaw following the attack.

The men were said to have attempted the assault several times, ‘lying in wait’ for Mr Smith before successfully ambushing him on his way to work on July 12 last year.

The gang was recorded planning the attack by detectives who had bugged defendant Akmol Hussain’s car over an unrelated matter
.'


So they were already tracking these guys for jihad activity.


'They were taped saying they wanted to hit or kill the teacher just because he was the head of religious studies at the Central Foundation School for Girls in Bow, East London.

In one recording Hussain said: ‘He’s mocking Islam and he’s putting doubts in people’s minds . . . How can somebody take a job to teach Islam when they’re not even a Muslim themselves?’

Armed with an iron rod and brick, they punched, kicked and attacked Mr Smith, leaving him unconscious covered in blood on the pavement in Burdett Road, Tower Hamlets, East London.

Mr Smith was taken to hospital after he was found by two passers-by, and only regained consciousness two days later.

The gang, made up of Simon Alam, 19, Azad Hussein, 27, of Bethnal Green, Sheikh Rashid, 27, of Shadwell and Akmol Hussain, 26, of Wapping, fled the scene in a car and went on to boast about their role in the assault.

Alam said he hit Mr Smith over the head with a metal bar saying: 'I turned and hit him on his face with the rod and he went flying and fell on his stomach.' [...]

The teacher had been at the school for eight years teaching faiths including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism and Hinduism. [...]

Hussain's car had been bugged on an 'unrelated matter' and it was during that surveillance operation that some of the gang members were recorded discussing the attack.

He spoke about a pupil at the school, calling her teacher a dog - an offensive name in Islam. He is then heard saying 'this is the dog we want to' and then a word is said in Sylheti - a language from Bangladesh - that means to hit, strike or kill.

Two other attempts, on on July 8 and one on July 9 last year failed when Mr Smith did not take his usual route to work

Eat Your Heart Out, Mr. President--UPDATED

The narcissistic President Obama can be glad that he is traveling in Europe because his archenemy, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, created quite a stir as he stole the limelight before Congress this morning.

Read from Atlas Shrugs:

56 Thunderous Times



"56 times. That's how many times the Congress cheered, applauded and/or stood up for Benjamin Netanyahu. This kind of reception is reserved for a much loved president of ...... the United States. He was welcomed with a standing ovation and over three minutes of thunderous applause.

And he did not disappoint. Binyamin was brilliant. I will post video as soon as it goes online.

This was history. Unforgettable.

'Israel has no better friend than America and America has no better friend than Israel,' Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said in his much-anticipated speech to a special joint session of Congress.
The two countries 'stand together, to defend democracy, to advance peace and to fight terrorism.'

His speech was very strong, He did not downplay the disagreements, but discussed them forthrightly and was met with thunderous applause.

'Israel is the only country that has guaranteed freedom of all faiths in Jerusalem, which must remain undivided.'

He went to say that Hamas not a partner for peace. Israel will not, he said, 'negotiate with a Palestinian government, which is backed by a Palestinian version of al-Qaida.' Its charter calls for killing of Jews; he said he was 'willing to make far-reaching compromises,' but under any pragmatic deal, strategic sites must be incorporated into final borders.

There is no need for the United States to send troops to Israel because 'we defend ourselves,' Prime Minister Netanyahu said.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke of 'about the great convulsion taking place in the Middle East' in his opening remarks and said that the 'ground is still shifting' and that the uprisings in the Muslim countries represent people’s demands for liberty -- but like 1979 Iran, the outcomes were in question. He said that of 300 million Arabs, the only ones who are 'truly free' are citizens of Israel.

'Israel gives equal rights to all her citizens, even those who once fought against her, and even to those who work against her even at present – and announce publicly that they do so.
There is no Arab or Muslim country in the world whose citizens have the freedom that Israel’s Arabs have. There is one country in the Middle East where they enjoy freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of the press - Israel.'

After one person got through the layers of security and tried to heckle the Prime Minister, Netanyahu said that the United States is a 'real democracy' unlike the 'farcical' regimes of Tehran and Tripoli (it was delicious).

He also chided in a jokesy fashion that America was bigger than the beltway, alluding to the overwhelming support Israel has among the American people.

In a moment eerily reminscent of Reagan's 'tear down that wall,' the Prime Minister spoke directly to Abbas, urging him to 'tear up that agreement' with Hamas. It was very powerful, but then again, the whole thing was.

This will be remembered for decades, centuries ....

Gd bless Israel and Gd bless America.

UPDATE: Full Text Of Speech By PM Netanyahu To A Joint Meeting Of The U.S. Congress"


UPDATE: Is this cool, or what:

Netanyahu Gets 29 Standing Ovations in Congress, Obama Got 25 During His State of the Union Speech…

American Support for Israel Remains Strong

What a bummer! An overwhelming majority of Americans cannot relate to the president when it comes to his pro-Palestinian position.

I can't imagine why Americans do not side with the savages who grieved at the death of Osama bin Laden and cheered in the streets when they heard about 9/11.



From Gateway Pundit:

FAIL. Americans Disagree With Obama – Support Israel Over Hamas-Fatah Alliance

"Once again far left President Barack Obama stunned the nation last week with another radical policy shift.

Once again the far left Obamedia completely agreed with him.

Last week Barack Obama proposed handing over half of Jerusalem, the Wailing Wall, The Temple Mount, Old Jerusalem, and The Church of the Holy Sepulchre to Hamas-Fatah terrorist alliance.

Of course, this radical position is very unpopular with a great majority of Americans.
Unlike Obama, most Americans support Israel over the Palestinian terrorist front

A near record-high 63% of Americans continue to say their sympathies lie more with the Israelis. Only Seventeen percent sympathize more with the Palestinians. This poll was taken only two months ago."
