In a supposedly center-right nation, where are all the conservatives to run for the GOP nomination?
I don’t think the author made a very convincing case. Norquist has some disturbing associations I’ll admit - but on the other hand his Americans For Tax Reform has been doing fantastic tea party type work for a long long time.
Any article on Norquist that does not include that side of his organization is simply a hit piece IMO.
I don’t have a problem with Perry’s relationship with Aga Khan. I do however, have a problem with his relationship with Grover Norquist.
Perry is a tool, that is true.
Why don't most of his embedded LINKS work?
Hey Old Badger are you the author, Robert Spencer?
David Stein: Debunking the Rick Perry “Pro-Shraria” School Curriculum Myth
Amil Imani Governor Perry's Islam Connection ………”No matter how I tried, I couldn't reach the conclusion that this inclusion promotes Islam or is pro-Sharia. It seems that the mere fact that Islam is included in the curriculum represents supporting it. And with regard to the concern that the education curriculum Perry promoted is pro-Arab and against Israel, the evidence is exactly the opposite. …”
Perry’s “Pro-Sharia” Curriculum DebunkedThe back-and-forth within the anti-sharia community about whether or not Rick Perry is a “fifth columnist” candidate continued this week, with Center for Security Policy’s Dave Reaboi and Ace of Spades both coming to Perry’s defense.
At Counter Contempt, David Stein also analyzed the “controversial” Muslim history curriculum Perry helped coordinate in Texas, and skewered the idea that it’s a pro-Sharia program. You can comb over the whole plan here, but here are a few excerpts:
1. Countries of Western Civilization have secular governments, which means great toleration of cultural and religious differences.
2. Countries of Islamic Civilization for the most part either have religiously dominated governments or demands to make them more religious, which mean less toleration of cultural and religious differences.
3. Muslims often lack respect for Western traditions and points of view. The Muslim relationship to the West is colored by the belief that Western beliefs [whether Christian or atheist] are defective and therefore inferior to Islam.………
Lol !! Hilarious stuff !
Old...not news.
Really are you a Newt supporter? I can’t stand Norquist but I think he has got his fingers in everything. Including the Abramoff Scandal. remember what abramoff said about Newt. So it looks like the polling shows Newt is going to bring the same ole pols into the WH with him.
In the words of Newt Gingrich, Grover Norquist is “the person who I regard as the most innovative, creative, courageous and entrepreneurial leader of the anti-tax efforts and of conservative grassroots activism in America . . . He has truly made a difference and truly changed American history.”
P.J. O’Rourke says, “Grover Norquist is Tom Paine crossed with Lee Atwater plus just a soupcon of Madame Defarge.”
Senator Mitch McConnell says, “It’s because of soldiers like Grover that the conservative movement is so vibrant today and that the liberals who thought they had taken over two years ago are on the run.”
“No one in modern times has fought harder to shrink the state than the founder of the group Americans for Tax Reform.” — John Stossel, March 24, 2011 during Fox Business Network’s Stossel
Arianna Huffington calls Norquist “The dark wizard of the Right’s anti-tax cult”
Mr. Norquist holds a Masters of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics, both from Harvard University. He lives in Washington, DC with his wife, Samah and his daughters, Grace.and Giselle.
