The documentary Obsession is on Fox News right now; don’t miss it: Documentary Portrays Islamic Extremists’ Call to Arms Against the Free World. link: 158 comments
Imagine a world where a Billion people have been throughly indoctrinated from birth in the doctrine of National Socialism.
Imagine a world where the Sturm Abteilung and the SS have a combined membership of 100 Million.
Substitute Islam for National Socialism and you are living in the world of today.
I said and will say it again, "they all say twenty years it will be in the USA. I say it will be here in five years." And if Hili and Obama make it in 08, two years.
A reader of mine has family in France. He previously wrote of his worry concerning his niece in Marseille and I posted about it in the comments section on the VIOLENCE IN FRANCE thread here (emphasis mine);
Pamela, I follow the situation in France with personal interest and I thank you for covering it. I have a niece who lives in Marseille who has been beaten and robbed by "youths" twice, the last time when she was 7 months pregnant with twins. The French media couldn't care less about the daily stories of horror. The "youths" were yelling "Juif" at her and her mother, who they also attacked. All you have to do is "look" Jewish. My family there are of Corsican descent and are Catholic. Of course the gangs have weapons that the law abiding citizens are forbidden to possess.
The upshot is my niece can no longer venture out without adult male escort because lone women are targets throughout Marseille. She insists she will never leave. The Marseille French are some damn stubborn m*****f*****s. My blood boils.
Today he wrote me again with this most distrubing email. Most disturbing.
Pamela, this is just another heads-up about what's going on in the south of France. I wrote to you a while back about my niece in Marseille. "Incidental evidence," as some apoligetic schmuck on the comment board termed it, after you posted my letter there. What follows here is the lastest "incident" to my isolated family in that huge city. Go figure the statistical odds that such "incidents" keep happening to one family. Yes, that's sarcasm. My niece had just this day taken off for a short vacation with her two women friends to Venice. They took the train from Marseille to Nice, and were about to leave there for Venice. Kevin is her oldest son (he's 12) ... My niece's English is very French, but I'm sure you'll get it ...
The translation from French was a bit awkward so I tweaked just a bit (grammatical);
This morning I am not well in my heart: Kevin is in a hospital because he beat 2 Arabic hooligans only to defend oneself because these hooligans wanted to steal his personal stereo. But Kevin is very tall and he practices judo so can defend himself very well, his father wasn't with him but in a shop not far but when he left the shop he made a rush to defend his son ( if someone touch his son....... He's a very calm man but he loves loves very much his children.) Me, I was on the train when I had a call to my house to say that I would be very well to speak with my children..... And my mother have explained it to me.... ( when I set off , I phone for my childrens every days ) when I am arrive in Nice : I have take a taxi for to come back towards my son ( here is the mother that I am ) I was sad to leave my friends but I AM A MOTHER AND IN MY HEART MY CHILDRENS ARE THE MOST ( OR MORE ?) IMPORTANT. My friends have understood very very well because they are mothers too..... I was worried about Kevin ( Laure took me in her arms before that I take the taxi because she would want a smile on my lips but it was impossible for me : only my son was important at this present moment ).
I am arrive in Marseille 3 hours later and I am go immediatly in the hospital to see my son. I had so much harm in my heart. When I saw Kevin : I have seen in his eyes he was happy for me to be near of him. I stayed with him all the night, my mother arrived this morning because I had again my suitcase with me !!!! Now I have take a shower, change of my clothes and I go in the police station for to lodge a complaint against this two hooligan and ARABIC !!! ( a lot of pople have called the Police and I have a lots of witness who have accepted to testify against thes2 Arabics !! If I have a gun at this present moment : my hate : I shoot without jur ( or demand or warning ?) sorry Bill but it's MY SON !! But in France it's interdict : if you have a gun in the street : you can be under arrest and to go in prison !! If you have a authorization for a gun : you must leave it in your house ONLY !!!. Kevin returned home today and I must be with him. He is my heart Bill !! but all the mothers are the same !!! You understand better now the word "heart" in French ??? Without explanation......
This is what th French a re living with. This is anti-civilization. It's tribal It's savage.

Future Terrorism: Mutant Jihads
The Fall 2006 edition of the Journal of International Security Affairs contains an insightful article by Walid Phares, "Future Terrorism: Mutant Jihads." Walid Phares, of course, is the author of an excellent book of analysis, Future Jihad. Both the article and the book, at greater length, provide an assessment of the jihad threat worldwide as it stands today and the course it is likely to take in the future.
The article's introductory paragraphs:
The strategic decision to carry out 9/11 was made in the early 1990s, almost ten years before the barbaric attacks on New York and Washington took place. The decade-long preparations and the testing of America’s defenses and political tolerance to terrorism that took place before September 11th—were a stage in the much longer modern history of the jihadist movement that produced al-Qaeda and its fellow travelers. Decades from now, historians will discover that the United States, the West and the international community were being targeted by a global ideological movement which emerged in the 1920s, survived World War II and the Cold War, and carefully chose the timing of its onslaught against democracy. Undoubtedly, the issue that policy planners and government leaders need to address with greatest urgency, and which the American public is most concerned about, is the future shape of the terrorist threat facing the United States and its allies. Yet developments since 2001, both at home and overseas, have shown that terror threats in general—and the jihadi menace in particular— remain at the same time resilient and poorly understood.
Defining the war
The jihadi war against the Soviet Union during the Cold War—and the struggle against the United States and some of its allies thereafter—are all part of a single continuum. Over time, jihadi Salafists and Khomeinist radicals alike have become proficient in selecting their objectives and infiltrating targets. Indeed, an analysis of the security failures that made 9/11 possible clearly demonstrates that the hijackers exploited systemic malfunctions at the national security level. Learning these lessons is essential for better counterterrorism planning in the future. But the jihadists are also learning, and the advantage will go to the side which can adapt most quickly. If the jihadists learn to understand and anticipate their opponents, their tactics and strategies will mutate.

OBSESSION the Threat of Radical Islam [Rerun on FOX Cable NOW!]--
people like your friend (and my sister) are so deluded that they think losing means our servicemen come home and we all hang our heads for awhile. They believe that's all there is to it. Like losing a tennis match or a video game or something.--There is no free speech in the Islamic world. There is no freedom of the press. There is no sense of humor. We show a cartoon, they will kill us. They show pictures of Jews being killed and it's their right to express themselves. We have a movie or a play that in any way criticizes Islam and it has to be edited or canceled. Yet they can have a rally yelling "Death of America" and it's a patriotic event.

What not to do
As I travel around the country and give talks trying to raise awareness of the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, the question I am most often asked is, "What can we do? What can I, as a private citizen, do to help defeat the global jihad?"
There are as many answers to that question as there are people who ask it. Raising awareness of the problem, amid the prevailing fog of political correctness and multiculturalism, is still the primary task we face. That is, of course, what this site attempts to do, and there is a growing number of other sites that do so as well.
Contemporary jihadists invoke these texts to justify their actions and make recruits among Muslims, as I show in my book The Truth About Muhammad.
This is a global problem, few are facing up to it, and CAIR et al are skillfully using charges of "bigotry" against those who point out the Islamic teachings that are justifying violence...CAIR is masterful at mau-mauing people for true statements about Islam As Tawfik Hamid said, "Stop asking what you have done wrong. Stop it! They're slaughtering you like sheep and you still look within. You criticize your history, your institutions, your churches. Why can't you realize that it has nothing to do with what you have done but with what they want." Posted by Robert at 06:25 PM | Comments (49)

DONALD SENSING says that he's a single-issue voter: "There are a lot of serious issues facing this country, but compared to the Islamist threat, they are not close enough even to be seen as in second place."
Why does this matter? Because this crap is coming to America soon:
CAIR's Ahmed Bedier stops by Jihad Watch to tell me no one is reading Jihad Watch
At forty-five minutes after midnight last night (Florida time), Ahmed Bedier, Executive Director of the Tampa, Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, dropped by to comment on this Jihad Watch thread.
When it was brought to my attention I removed the comment, not because Mr. Bedier is not welcome to comment here -- he is most welcome to do so -- but because I was not sure it wasn't someone else posting under his name. However, the email address used is the one at his website, and the experts have assured me that TypeKey registration makes it extremely unlikely that anyone was counterfeiting his email address. (If, however, Ahmed Bedier does appear and asserts that he did not write this, I will remove it.)
Here is his comment:
Spence: Maybe you should consider taking your hate-fest workshops on the road and train bigots how to restrain their hatred so not to expose themselves.
Bobby, the reality is NO ONE cares about your views and the handful of visitors that read the hate speech that you spew are the lowest segment of our society.
The majority of Americans do not respect bigots like yourself that spread hate daily. Including this letter writer, SEE: http://www.hernandotoday.com/letters/MGB3E2EJ4UE.html
It's entertaining watching you and your ineffective friends get desperate.
Remember to restrain yourself.
A few observations:
1. Note the fury, the contempt, the intent to demean, the will to hurt. This is an extremely common feature of the replies of Islamic apologists to those who discuss the elements of Islamic theology that are used to justify violence. But that's all there is. Glaringly absent from this comment by Mr. Bedier, as well as from every other critique of my work, is any substantial refutation of its accuracy. Mr. Bedier doesn't supply even one example of my alleged "hate speech" or "bigotry."
I suspect that he knows that such charges themselves, however baseless and silly they are, will be enough to turn away many people from the substance of what I say about Islam, jihad, Sharia, and CAIR itself. But he doesn't dare meet those things on an even intellectual playing field.
2. He says to me: "Bobby, the reality is NO ONE cares about your views and the handful of visitors that read the hate speech that you spew are the lowest segment of our society." It's ironic that he cares enough about my views to make sure I know that, but I rather think that 30,000+ visitors per day to Jihad Watch, plus the readers of the two New York Times bestsellers that I have written (The Truth About Muhammad and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)), suggest that he is grasping at straws here, or presenting his wishes as reality.
"The lowest segment of our society" (or, as a commenter on the original thread suggested, "the vilest of creatures" -- Qur'an 98:6)? I am confident that Mr. Bedier has no demographic data on Jihad Watch readers. Here again he manifests the will to demean, and, by dismissing as "bigoted" those readers' legimate concerns about CAIR and its intentions, as well as larger concerns about jihad and Sharia supremacism, he is only reinforcing those concerns.
It would be interesting to see Mr. Bedier address the question of how CAIR's own disingenuousness and constant resistance of legitimate anti-terror efforts fuel suspicion toward the Muslim community -- which suspicion it then trumpets as "Islamophobia" in order to enhance that community's claim to privileged victim status, beyond criticism or reproach. But I won't be expecting anything. The unrestrained and rather desperate fury of his comment above, even as he charges me with desperation and lack of restraint, doesn't brighten my hopes for any intelligent discussion of important issues.
But if Mr. Bedier has a change of heart, he is welcome, right here on this comments thread, to answer these questions about CAIR that I formulated in 2003 -- when Ibrahim Hooper, again with characteristic grace and open-hearted honesty, hung up on me before I could pose them to him. Or Mr. Bedier can contact me, Bobby, at director@jihadwatch.org, here in my offices among the Lowest Segment of Society.

Here's a nightcap for a wicked day. Amerabia has lost its marbles. Hezbollah Judge? My new favorite contemptible oxymoron. Debbie Schlussel has the whole story here ISLAMerica: HEZBOLLAH JUDGE ELECTED in MICHIGAN! Open Hezbollah supporter and extremist Muslim, David Turfe, was unfortunately elected Michigan District Court Judge in Dearborn Heights' 20th District. (Dearborn Heights is home to North America's second largest mosque, headed by the former spiritual leader of Ayatollah Khomeini's Iranian Navy, Imam Mohammed Elahi--a domestic agent of Iran & Hezbollah.)Remember the Hezbollah rally I attended at the Bint Jebail Cultural Center a/k/a the Hezbollah Social Club, at the height of the war between Hezbollah and Israel--where speakers made a plethora of anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-Christian speeches? Turfe was there campaigning, and openly supporting and cheering all of those statements. Not surprisingly, the Pro-Hezbollah/pro-HAMAS, Islamist Arab American PAC, which denies Israel's right to exist, endorsed Turfe. (AAPAC's then-Secretary Lola Elzein sent me and my family death, torture, and rape threats, coupled with Holocaust denial.) Permalink | Comments (3)

What does the enemy think about the outcome of our elections? link: 184 comments "But wait...I thought if we elected the party of appeasement, pulled out of Iraq, and kicked Israel to curb, they would forget about us."
To: All
There are a few lessons to be learned from this election, and they are all sad. First, Americans no longer have any stomach for military casualties. It's almost to the point where maybe we should close down the armed services and lower the taxes. If we can't get any soldiers hurt, why have them?
The public now seems to think that joining the service is kind of like college in uniform, and it's an outrage if someone gets killed. It's a disaster cause we've had 3000 killed in four years. We lost something like 1500 drowned in accidents training for D-Day!
If this is the case, perhaps we should just have some ICBMs and have the policy that if we are attacked, we will fire them. Second, the elections are decided not by the thinking, interested, educated people that read and write blogs, whether left or right, but by dummies who know a heck of a lot more about JLo and K-Fed than Middle East history, let alone economic theory. Third, as long as the libs control the mass media, which is still mostly seen by the dummies as unbiased and the truth, they can control what the dummies believe.
The dummies have a tv mentality. All problems are black and white, and the heroes do nothing wrong and make no mistakes, only the obvious bad guys are killed, and all problems are neatly wrapped up within a half hour to three hours.
Does it not strike you as truly odd that Americans would be content with election results that are applauded by Al Qaeda, Hugo Chavez, Danny Ortega and the French...and not be appalled? Picture running a candidate in 1943 who is approved by Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo! Republicans traditionally have to appeal on the basis of historical examples (socialism fails, welfare states fail, aggressors have to be militarily defeated or they keep aggressing) while libs appeal on cuteness, emotion, and "wouldn't it be nice if you got that for free?". Republicans keep trying to explain theory, libs call them heartless nasty racists. Hard to see hope as long as they control the media, and dumb down public education.
How many people try to historically educate themselves? How many watch Dancing with the Stars instead? Libs understand this...suddenly Hillary's opposition is Barack Obama. Ok, why? What has he ever said or done to merit this consideration? He's simply a photogenic black guy who can speak well, who has a appealing "uplifting" backstory...what are his opinions or positions? Does anyone know? But he'd be a favorite on American Idol, most likely....truly sad.
Right now probably the best person in the country to be president is Newt Gingrich..and he doesn't stand a chance because he's not cute and the media convinced everyone he was nasty and evil some years ago. I fear for the country more and more..and have no idea how to change it besides somehow overthrowing the media that Joe Average takes in more or less like air.

FIVE BEST: Sense of Ummah - These books are essential to understanding Islam-- there's no better summary of what Islam is all about today: It's in the Koran (You Tube)
Again the New York Times comes to the defense of radical Islamic candidate Keith Ellison, in a slobbery puff piece that does not even mention his links to CAIR, and blithely brushes past his history with the Nation of Islam as if it didn’t matter.
And for all those friendly Nutroots bloggers who accused me of “racism” and “bigotry” for saying that Ellison’s win would be celebrated in the Middle East, please note this racist, bigoted New York Times headline: Muslim’s Election Is Celebrated Here and in Mideast.
And what NYT piece would be complete without a smear against those who tried to blow the whistle on Ellison’s deceptions, while mainstream media did their best to cover it all up?
Arab news reports highlighted the fact that Mr. Ellison would probably take the oath of office on the Koran, something which also upset Muslim-bashers in the blogosphere. Some suggested it meant he would pledge allegiance to Islamic law rather than to upholding the Constitution.
Allahpundit also weighed in on this one: NYT puff piece on Ellison slams “Muslim-bashers in the blogosphere”.
UPDATE at 11/11/06 2:59:40 pm:
Democratic campaign signs and banners are normally blue, of course, and sometimes contain other colors from the American flag.
Ellison’s signs were all green—the color of Islam.
Coincidence? Sure, you can believe that if you want.
Has anybody besides me noticed that the hand gestures that Ellison makes when speaking are the standard "Nation of Islam hand gestures" that I've seen many of their members use when giving speeches?

Is this what the left hates? Is this what the Demoncrats find unacceptable? It is incomprehensible to me that Ambassador Bolton would not receive a unanimous vote for confirmation. Why doesn't the UN address the barrage of rockets raining into Israel from Gaza on civilian cities and towns.
UN resolution veto condemning Israel CTV
A UN Security Council resolution that would have condemned Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip was vetoed by the U.S. on Saturday.
The draft resolution would have also demanded Israel pull out of the territory.
The veto came one day ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's scheduled visit to Washington on
Notice too that it comes on Shabbat when the people of Israel do not work (including those that the UN.) They always pull that.
The draft, which was backed by Arab nations, was biased and politically motivated,
said John Bolton, the American ambassador to the UN.
"This resolution does not display an evenhanded characterization of the recent events in Gaza, nor does it advance the cause of Israeli-Palestinian peace to which we aspire and for which we are working assiduously," he told the Security Council.
The move marks the second time this year the U.S. has blocked a draft resolution concerning Israel's activity in Gaza.
Four nations abstained from voting on the contentious resolution, including Denmark, Britain, Japan and Slovakia. Security Council resolutions require unanimous consent from the five permanent members: China, France, Russia, the U.K. and U.S.
Ten nations voted in favour of the resolution, which was brought forward by Qatar.
Denmark abstained, according to Ambassador Ellen Margrethe Loj, because the draft didn't address all the issue,
The draft was adjusted in the last few days to increase the likelihood that it would pass. A section was added in demanding that the Palestinian Authority take immediate action to end the barrage of rockets, and called for a UN fact finding probe into Wednesday's attack.

UPDATE: Charles over at LGF nails it here;
The United Nations was thwarted today in another attempt to demonize a country trying to protect itself from organized, genocidal terrorist gangs.
By John Bolton, acting for the United States: U.S. vetoes condemnation of Gaza strikes.
We’re all going to be in big trouble if the Dems succeed in their coming push to remove Bolton.

random quote of the day:
“Liberals think the world operates on love and fuzzy feelings instead of copper-jacketed lead and Dupont powder.”
AMERICA"S TRUTH FORUM
Lots of interesting little details, for example more than a couple of speakers were contacted
government agencies and by media (in one case CNN) to strongly recommend they not speak at this symposium. It's not enough that the jihad loving media actively deceives the American people of the gravity of Islam fundamentalism by ignoring it or distorting, here you find that are trying to shut truth tellers up.
Photo left: Bruce Tefft, Robert Spencer, Harvey Kushner
More than anything that was impressed upon me was Islam was not so much a religion as it is a political ideology and a violent, oppressive one. More dangerous than any previous threat in world history.
And while it was not a political conference, the ramifications of Tuesday night's election results worried the panelists.
Many of the speakers came at great personal risk to their safety. All live under constant threat of death. "I know they want to kill me"
SHOT OF THE DAY..........love that woman
Wafa and me ..will begin download of her remarks as well as the others
LGF reader Glen Jenvey emailed an amazing audio recording to me today, featuring Omar Bakri Mohammed (who fled Britain when authorities shut down several of his operations) in an online chat session. In the recording, Bakri tells supporters that Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam (now calling himself simply Yusuf) was once a frequent visitor to his offices in Britain—and even worse, that Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens was also closely connected to the “Blind Sheikh,” Omar Abdel-Rahman, currently serving a life sentence for plotting terror attacks in the US.
Rusty Shackleford at Jawa Report also got a copy of the audio, and has an informative post: Claim: Cat Stevens Financed Terrorists, Tied to Radical Clerics. link: 132 comments
It was widely reported that Cat Steven's response to the fatwa on Salman Rushdie was
"Salman Rushdie, indeed any writer who abuses the prophet or indeed any prophet under Islamic law, the sentence for that is actually death,"

STRATEGYPAGE: "One of the immediate things known in the wake of the American November elections is that the media strategy employed by al Qaeda has succeeded."
UPDATE: Related item here.
Someone in Chicago sent this well-reasoned message last night. I’m going to take a wild guess and suggest that it may have come from a member of the Religion of Peace.
Little Green F-ckballs,
America has woken up. They have pulled back the curtain and turned a spotlight on the wretched creatures who are engineering the hate. They see the real provocateurs who are intentionally inciting more Middle Easterners and Muslims to hate America. They know Israel is not a blameless victim and see what the neocon journalist F-ckballs and politicians are doing. They know that the invasion of Iraq was not for altruistic reasons, and they see the billions being extracted from their Treasury and lining the pockets of corrupt Halliburton and Bechtel profiteers. They see how the “war on terror” has been corrupted by the Executive branch to seize unconstitutional powers and to justify torture. Torture? Are you kidding me? Did you really believe good, Christian Americans would agree to use their tax money to torture people—some of whom were innocent of any crime? They’re finding out their tax dollars paid for the extradition and torture of an innocent Canadian citizen for several months, and very likely others. How twisted and vile do you think this country is, that they would allow this horrific act to be justified in the name of their national security?
They also see they need to repair the damage their government and the Little Green F-ckball cheerleaders have wrought. They have booted the Party of Fearmongers from both houses of Congress and elected the first Muslim-American in history. Your obsessed F-ckball rants and baseless accusations about Ellison are backfiring, just as they backfired for his opponent Fine. They know this small gesture is a step in the right direction to repair the shattered relations with the world’s 1.2 billion Muslims. They know these relations are critical to fighting the REAL war on terror.
A good percentage of Republicans see these things as well. They see how their party of small government and conservative values has been twisted into an ideological ghoul. A possessed specter of fear more terrifying than the terrorists they claim to be fighting given the immense power they wield. They want their party back. The one hijacked by the Little Green F-ckball deviants who have defiled it with their depraved, ideological schemes.
God bless this great Republic,
J. Bailey

UPDATE at 11/13/06 12:54:16 pm:
Some more stuff we won’t have to worry about as soon as John Bolton is gone: Seizures of radioactive materials fuel ‘dirty bomb’ fears. (Hat tip: Doss.)
SEIZURES of smuggled radioactive material capable of making a terrorist “dirty bomb” have doubled in the past four years, according to official figures seen by The Times. Smugglers have been caught trying to traffick dangerous radioactive material more than 300 times since 2002, statistics from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) show. Most of the incidents are understood to have occurred in Europe. The disclosures come as al-Qaeda is known to be intensfiying its efforts to obtain a radoactive device. Last year, Western security services, including MI5 and MI6, thwarted 16 attempts to smuggle plutonium or uranium. On two occasions small quantities of highly enriched uranium were reported missing. All were feared to have been destined for terror groups.

RM: How many nuclear weapons does Al-Qaeda possess?
HM: As far as I know, they smuggled three suitcase nukes from Russia to Europe. They smuggled many kilos of enriched uranium inside America for their dirty bomb projects. They said in 1999 that they must have material for more than six dirty bombs in America. They tested at least one dirty bomb in the Kunar province of Afghanistan in 2000.
They have planned an attack bigger than 9/11, even before 9/11 happened. Osama Bin Laden trained 42 fighters to destroy the American economy and military might. 19 were used on 9/11, 23 are still "sleeping" inside America waiting for a wake-up call from Bin Laden.
RM: If Al-Qaeda has tactical suitcase nukes, not just "dirty bombs," why would they deploy them to Europe instead of the United States?
HM: Actually, I lost track of the three suitcase nukes after they were smuggled into Italy. I tried my best to get more information about those bombs but I am only one man. I only received one tip that Chechen members of Al-Qaeda wanted to smuggle one bomb into London, one into Paris, and one into California, but some dispute developed with the Italian underworld over the method of payment. This was in the year 2000.
RM: Were actual tactical nukes deployed to the US? And is the leader of the nuclear plot Adnan el-Shukrijumah as believed by some experts?
HM: Al-Qaeda leaders claimed to have deployed their tactical weapons inside America. But when I tried to track the transportation of those weapons from Georgia, I lost track in Italy. I don’t know the location of these today because my source left Afghanistan for Iraq last year. On the other hand, they claimed to me that weapons were smuggled to America through Mexico.
According to my notes, the man responsible for organizing the nuclear attacks inside America is not Adnan but is Muhammed Sher Khan, but this may be an alias for Adnan.

There are a few lessons to be learned from this election, and they are all sad. First, Americans no longer have any stomach for military casualties. It's almost to the point where maybe we should close down the armed services and lower the taxes. If we can't get any soldiers hurt, why have them?
The public now seems to think that joining the service is kind of like college in uniform, and it's an outrage if someone gets killed. It's a disaster cause we've had 3000 killed in four years. We lost something like 1500 drowned in accidents training for D-Day!
If this is the case, perhaps we should just have some ICBMs and have the policy that if we are attacked, we will fire them. Second, the elections are decided not by the thinking, interested, educated people that read and write blogs, whether left or right, but by dummies who know a heck of a lot more about JLo and K-Fed than Middle East history, let alone economic theory. Third, as long as the libs control the mass media, which is still mostly seen by the dummies as unbiased and the truth, they can control what the dummies believe.
The dummies have a tv mentality. All problems are black and white, and the heroes do nothing wrong and make no mistakes, only the obvious bad guys are killed, and all problems are neatly wrapped up within a half hour to three hours.
Does it not strike you as truly odd that Americans would be content with election results that are applauded by Al Qaeda, Hugo Chavez, Danny Ortega and the French...and not be appalled? Picture running a candidate in 1943 who is approved by Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo! Republicans traditionally have to appeal on the basis of historical examples (socialism fails, welfare states fail, aggressors have to be militarily defeated or they keep aggressing) while libs appeal on cuteness, emotion, and "wouldn't it be nice if you got that for free?". Republicans keep trying to explain theory, libs call them heartless nasty racists. Hard to see hope as long as they control the media, and dumb down public education.
How many people try to historically educate themselves? How many watch Dancing with the Stars instead? Libs understand this...suddenly Hillary's opposition is Barack Obama. Ok, why? What has he ever said or done to merit this consideration? He's simply a photogenic black guy who can speak well, who has a appealing "uplifting" backstory...what are his opinions or positions? Does anyone know? But he'd be a favorite on American Idol, most likely....truly sad.
Right now probably the best person in the country to be president is Newt Gingrich..and he doesn't stand a chance because he's not cute and the media convinced everyone he was nasty and evil some years ago. I fear for the country more and more..and have no idea how to change it besides somehow overthrowing the media that Joe Average takes in more or less like air.

More Europe transit plots
Seeking to "raise the pressure" in Europe with possible attacks on air and rail travel. "Al Qaeda May Be Plotting Holiday Attacks," by Farhan Bokhari and Sheila MacVicar for CBS News: ...agencies have been warned that al Qaeda may be planning to attack air and rail travel in Europe in actions that may occur during the busy holiday travel season...the warnings come from interrogations of al Qaeda suspects who recently left Afghanistan and Pakistan. (a reference to the failed 'liquid bomb' plot interrupted in August)Posted by Marisol at 12:23 AM | Comments (12) "It really gets tiresome hearing about these loathsome plots that these maniacs are always putting together. I'm really beginning to think that the only way this war against Islamania will be won is to be totally merciless against them- a war in the brutal style of Hitler vs Stalin."
Will the Saudis Succeed?
Will the Saudis Succeed in Exporting Shari’a to the US?
The jury, unfortunately, is still out. The Saudis are certainly spending enormous amounts of money to make this happen.
