SUBJECT: COURAGEOUS WORDS Take a few moments and read this letter. These are strong, powerful and courageous words. Also read what Abraham Lincoln said at the end or the letter. WOW! Thirty-three United States Senators Voted Against English as America's Official Language on June 6, 2007. That same day, Colonel Harry Riley, USA, Ret. Wrote this letter to them. With the election approaching it is even more relevant now than it was then.: Honorable Senators: Your vote against an amendment to the immigration Bill 1348, seeking to make the English language, America's official language simply astounds me! That you voted...

THE PEACEFUL MUSLIM A man whose family was part of the German aristocracy prior to World War Two owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave should guide our attitude toward Islamic fanaticism. “Very few people were true Nazis "he said," but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew...

The Beginning of Armageddon? By Jerry Gordon, former U.S. military intelligence officer and Middle East Analyst for American Congress for Truth. Israel, the US and the West have lost in the Middle East because of a delusion - the Bush version of the Wilsonian dream of national sovereignty and "democracy" has no traction in the cradle of political Jihad Islam. Wilson's League of Nation dream didn't prevent the rise of Herr Hitler and his Nazi thugs who gave us the Shoah and six million dead European Jews whose memories we commemorated on Friday at the UN and in dozens of...

Next Tuesday, President Bush is scheduled to deliver his annual State of the Union message to the nation. Not surprisingly, Democrats are already reveling in their plans for a rebuttal, in which they will no doubt repeat the pattern of past years and simply contradict everything the president says. Word is out that they intend to field Virginia's newly elected Governor, Timothy Kaine, for this task. Among Democrats, Kaine is considered to be a "rising star" (they seem to have many) with possible presidential potential.

The Saddam-Al Qaeda Connection By W. Thomas Smith, Jr. Jan 16, 2006 The recent revelation by Stephen F. Hayes in The Weekly Standard that Iraq under Saddam Hussein had ties to –– and was training thousands of –– terrorists in the years prior to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, is actually no revelation at all. It is being treated as such by many Americans, cautiously praised by the White House, and dismissed as groundless by those opposed to the war. Don’t get me wrong: Hayes’ assertions are on the mark. But those with connections to the U.S. special operations community...

THE WEST’S LAST CHANCE - WILL WE WIN THE CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS By Tony Blankley THE WASHINGTON TIMES September 13, 2005 'An Islamist threat like the Nazis' But that survival instinct is threatened by the multiculturalism and political correctness advocated in media and academe -- and institutionalized in national and European Union laws and regulations for half a century. Europe's effort at cultural tolerance since World War II slowly morphed into a surprisingly deep self-loathing of Western culture that denied the instinct for cultural and national self-defense. If Europe doesn't rise to the challenge, Eurabia will come to pass. Then...

Things I have noticed while watching media coverage of the recent hurricanes. 1. Texas: Productive industrious state run by Republicans. Louisiana: Government dependent welfare state run by Democrats. 2. Texas: Residents take responsibility to protect and evacuate themselves. Louisiana: Residents wait for government to protect and evacuate them. 3. Texas: Local and state officials take responsibility for protecting their citizens and property. Louisiana: Local and state officials blame federal government for not protecting their citizens and property. 4. Texas: Command and control remains in place to preserve order. Louisiana: Command and control collapses allowing lawlessness. 5. Texas: Law enforcement officers...

Anyone who still clings to the absurd notion that the war on Islamic terrorism can be fought in the manner of past wars is either naive or criminally ignorant of the situation in which America presently finds itself. Treaties, truces, and conventions are neither strategic tools nor effective weapons when confronting the fanaticism that drives militant Islamists. Likewise, Republicans who believe that the political issues presently facing their country can be solved through reasoned discourse and compromise between the opposing parties are simply out of touch with reality. Any doubts that this is indeed the case can be quickly laid...

The bombings earlier this month in London have once again focused the attention of the free world on the questions of what kind of people would commit such acts of barbarity and what motivates them. I was in the United Kingdom when the attacks on July 7 occurred, safely celebrating my wife's 41st birthday in a little town south of Glasgow, Scotland. Moderate Muslims and careful politicians in Britain were quick to disassociate the bombings from Islam. Those responsible are not "real" Muslims, we were assured; this is not what real Islam is all about. This disassociation, however, has a...

A Letter to Mankind, http://www.faithfreedom.org/oped/sina40908.htm Dear Fellow Human, Today humanity is being challenged. Unthinkable atrocities take place on daily basis. There is an evil force at work that aims to destroy us. The agents of this evil respect nothing; not even the lives of children. Every day there are bombings, every day innocent people are targeted and murdered. It seems as if we are helpless. But we are not! The ancient Chinese sage Sun Zi said, "Know your enemy and you won't be defeated". Do we know our enemy? If we don't, then we are doomed. Terrorism is not an...

LET ME TELL YOU why military engagement with Saddam Hussein’s regime in Baghdad is not only necessary and inevitable, but good. When the United States finally goes to war again in the Persian Gulf, it will not constitute a settling of old scores, or just an enforced disarmament of illegal weapons, or a distraction in the war on terror. Our next war in the Gulf will mark a historical tipping point—the moment when Washington takes real ownership of strategic security in the age of globalization. That is why the public debate about this war has been so important: It forces...

PAKISTANI CHRISTIAN DIES FROM POLICE ATTACK The Voice of the Martyrs has learned that Samuel Masih, a Pakistani Christian accused of blasphemy under Pakistan's strict Law 295, died tonight around 9:00 p.m. local time in the Lahore hospital where he was a patient. Masih was arrested August 23, 2003 and was accused of throwing waste against the side of a mosque. He was held in the Lahore Central Jail until, suffering from tuberculosis, he was transferred to a local hospital on May 22. Two days later, early in the morning, Masih was attacked by one of the policemen assigned to...

(FIRST LETTER) A Veteran's Letter to Kerry: Dear Senator John Kerry: Since it has become clear that you will probably be the Democratic nominee for President, I have spent a great deal of time researching your war record and your record as a professional politician. The reason is simple, you aspire to be the Commander in Chief who would lead my sons and their fellow soldiers in time of war. I simply wanted to know if you possess the necessary qualifications to be trusted in that respect. You see, I belong to a family of proud U.S. veterans. I was...

On April 17, 2004 Dr. Kenneth Stevens, the President of Physicians for Compassionate Care (PCC) and a cancer specialist spoke to the provincial pro-life conference in Hamilton. Physicians for Compassionate Care is an organization which was founded in 1995 in response to the legalization of assisted suicide in the State of Oregon. Dr. Kenneth Stevens understands the issue of physician-assisted suicide both personally and professionally. In 1982 his terminally ill wife was told by her doctor that "Nothing more can be done." The doctor then said: "I can write an "extra-large" prescription." Dr. Stevens wife told him that: "he wants...

Special Report The Roots of Arab-Israeli Rage Father Abraham In 70 A.D., the Romans crushed a Jewish revolt against their rule, sacked Jerusalem, and destroyed the sacred Temple--the focal point of Jewish life. Jews were slaughtered, enslaved, or driven away. By 135 A.D., when another last-ditch rebellion met with the same fate, no Jew could set foot in Jerusalem. The old city was rebuilt as a Greco-Roman one (complete with a circus, amphitheater, and baths), and Judea was renamed Palestine. When Rome turned Christian, Jerusalem followed suit, and churches went up around the sites holy to those in the faith....

An al--Jezerra, New York Times, Exclusive - September 11, 2051 Fifty years ago today the World Trade Center in New York City was destroyed by the Magnificent 19 Martyrs. This is the first time that this event will be celebrated without infidel infection. But first a little history: It started off bleak for us long ago. Evil incarnate himself, George W. Bush, delivered his Second Inaugural Address in which he vowed to crush Islamic Terrorism in 2005. He waged war on our Glorious Martyrs for eight long years. Until Allah stepped in. In ‘The Sacred Year Of Deliverance, 2008" Allah...

WASHINGTON) - U.S. Rep. Henry J. Hyde (R-IL), chairman of the House International Relations Committee, commented on today's presentation by U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell before the U.N. Security Council: Secretary Powell presented a compelling argument and detailed evidence that should persuade anyone capable of being persuaded that Saddam continues to develop weapons of mass destruction. I am convinced that war can be avoided only if Saddam Hussein acts immediately to destroy his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction, weapons he has freely used in the past and which he agreed to eliminate after his defeat in the Gulf...

WOMEN IN SUDAN: SLAVERY AND SLAVE TRADE UNDER THE NATIONAL ISLAMIC FRONT (NIF) REGIME By Sarah Cleto Rial 4/2000 I am from the Bahr El Ghazal region in the South Central Sudan. Since 1989, my people have been the target of ethnic eradication by the racial Islamic government of Sudan. Under this government, more than two million people have been killed, our hospitals and schools have been destroyed, we have faced man-made famine, and our women and children have been enslaved—all without much reaction from the super powers of the world, including the United States. The terrible situation in the...

“FREEDOM CAR” “The Bush administration is walking away from a $1.5 billion eight-year government-subsidized project to develop high-mileage gasoline-fueled vehicles. Instead it is throwing its support behind a plan that the Energy Department and the auto industry have devised to develop hydrogen-based fuel cells to power the cars of the future. (This plan) aims at the eventual replacement of the internal combustion engine. Fuel cells use stored hydrogen and oxygen from the air to create electricity, and the only emission from engines they power is water vapor.” (“U. S. Ends Car Plan On Gas Efficiency; Looks to Fuel Cells” by ...
