"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"
KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia - Tens of American, European and other hostages were released Sunday and a gunman believed to be the lead Islamic militant holding them was arrested, a Saudi security official said, adding that two other gunmen were "in the process of being arrested."
We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm
Dang you're good!
Did you all see this?
Good idea Davey,
I agree that Mike Savage.com would be a good place to start.
He has coined the phrase "Enemy Within" (and written a book with that name, I think).
sometimes, he seems nuts, but the simple fact is that he is making an attempt to wake up the Americans, who are asleep.
Mike is not afraid to call it as he feels it is.
If you think a school with muslim holidays is a start, well it is about equal with the Michigan call to prayer speakers.
Take a look at this one, I think it upsets me, who is next?

While some grousing about the falling dollar is expected at the G-8 Sea Island Summit, not much will be done about it.
At stake: pricey foreign TVs vs. cheap exported chickens. Feathers may fly, but answers likely won't.

What will G-8 do about the dollar this year?
About the same as last.
Which is to say: not very much.
....
"The weak dollar is a bigger issue for the Europeans and the Japanese than for us," said John Howard Brown, associate professor of economics at Georgia Southern University, "because they depend more than we do on exports for their economic well-being."
As long ago as 1999, the Russian newspaper Pravda speculated that the weak dollar might eventually lead to a global economic crash.
At the Evian summit, Germany, France, Italy and Japan were less dramatic in their judgments, but did voice concerns.
At the end of the conference, France, acting as host and chairman, declared there was a consensus favoring "currency stability" - a polite way of worrying out loud about the dollar's slide. Especially worrisome, some Europeans at that summit lamented, were statements by U.S. officials that they could live with a weak dollar.
President Bush responded that he was committed to a strong dollar, but played down his influence over exchange rates.
....
In any case, some analysts - such as Humphreys - say it's best to let market forces take their course. That, they say, will be best for the U.S. economy and the world economy over the long haul.
"The dollar will strengthen," said Doug Bandow, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, a libertarian-leaning Washington think tank, "to the extent that our economy is perceived to have recovered."
So what is the short-run solution?
"There really isn't one," Humphreys said.
