Jihad Watch: Defining the Jihadist Enemy: A Petition

Defining the Jihadist Enemy: A Petition

From PetitionOnline (thanks to all who sent this in):

To: U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence

The American people condemn the May 8, 2008 decision by the majority of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in rejecting Congressman Peter Hoekstra’s amendment to the 2009 Intelligence Authorization Act (H.R. 5959), which was intended to “prohibit the intelligence community from adopting speech codes that encumber accurately describing the radical jihadist terrorists that attacked America and continue to threaten the homeland.”
Moreover, the American people call for those members of the Committee who opposed this amendment to publicly account for and explain their vote.

Sign it here.

I thought this was an interesting take on Obama, the black “messiah” who has the damn nerve to presume that he might lead this country. Yeah, straight to hell.

Barack Obama is the Mau Mau candidate for president

Obama’s current demand for the nomination, coupled with the implicit threat that his supporters will walk if they are rejected, is a classic mau mau tactic. After seeking to explain away the racist rantings of his pastor Jeremiah Wright with the explanation that Wright is so 1960’s, it seems that 1960’s Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing are also back in style, courtesy of Obama and his supporters.

With their demand that Obama be nominated, or else, the Obama camp has descended into a caricature of the racist Dixiecrats who sought to intimidate the Democratic Party during the 1940’s and 50’s. Dixiecrats were wrong then, and Obamacrats are wrong today. The Dixiecrats lost. The Obamacrats will lose.

Politics is a contact sport, or so goes the cliché. But even in sports, there is something known as the good sport. Mormons did not threaten to bolt the Republican Party if Mitt Romney wasn’t nominated. Catholics stuck with Democrats for decades before a Catholic was nominated after the Al Smith fiasco. But Blacks demand that the “first” viable African-American for president walk off with the prize—or else.

Where is this taking the Democrats? Down the road to defeat.

Americans are going to reject the Democratic Party not because Democrats are conducting a raucous primary process. No, truth be told people love a brawl. Rather, Democrats are likely to pay a price when they nominate a candidate who is never “in the room” when the real man in his life stands up and spews forth his attacks on Ameirka (in deference to Obama, we have renewed our use of the 1960’s spelling as well). Democrats are going to be rejected because a party too weak and too militant to focus the mainstream is too weak to govern this fractious nation.

Americans are going to reject Obama because the Democratic Party has so marginalized the nominating process that Democrats rather rudely and proudly tell Americans that “Clinton can’t win” because the party’s nominating procedures make it impossible to defeat an early frontrunner due to proportional representation and delegate allocation, rigged caucuses, and manipulated primaries.

There is much to dislike in the Republicans’ Darwinian presidential selection system, where winner-take-all primaries kill off contenders at a very rapid pace. But John McCain has acquired legitimacy, by winning. Even if Clinton keeps winning primaries, Obama got almost as many “net” delegates from Wyoming as Clinton got from winning Texas and Ohio. Even if she wins Pennsylvania, Democrats cloyingly tell us she won’t “net” enough delegates to win. And so on. “Super delegates?” They’re not real delegates at all. Democrats now tell us super-delegates are merely automatons who have to vote the way they are told. Is that democracy? Is that a fair process?

And just in case Clinton wins, or comes close enough to take it to the floor of the convention, where John Kennedy himself was nominated, Obama has issued a diktat that she can’t win because the nomination “belongs” to him and his left-wing cohort.

Truly, Barack Obama Junior has become the Mau Mau candidate for president. Barack Obama Senior must be smiling. And so are the 1960’s.

I have been wanting to start a library for my grandchildren comprised of books that celebrate America, give a true recounting of this country’s beginnings and serve to instill pride in our heritage. Lord knows they will never learn anything but revisionist lies from their teachers.

More so, I want them to become acutely aware of how fragile, and increasingly rare, the freedoms we have are. I grew up never imagining that a people could exist who would despise freedom, indeed, who fear it. They are a people who are so given over to their rapacious appetites and so bowed low under the weight of their collective cowardice that they have no compunction facilitating the end of America. I never imagined that fellow so-called Americans would be the enemies that my grandchildren would face. And the _amerikkans who call themselves “Progressives” are those of whom I speak.

Kimberly Jo Simac has my admiration. A mother of nine, Simac has set about countering the educational system’s mis-information by writing American Soldier Proud And Free for children. It will definitely go in my library.

American Soldier Proud and Free is the newest book from children’s author Kimberly Jo Simac, a mother of nine who values the importance of teaching young people patriotism.

“I have spent my entire adult life raising nine children, and I see without a doubt that patriotism – respect for our flag, our leaders and those who serve in the military – is being totally left out of our children’s educational agenda,” Simac said. “I really felt that something had to be done to address these deficiencies.”

As a response, Simac wrote , colorfully illustrated by Donna Goeddaeus. While working on this book, Simac also realized that there are no patriotic soldier books for little children.

“We have books about everything imaginable, but nothing to teach and remind our youth that we should be proud to be Americans and honor those who have fought so we can live free,” she added.

Simac attempts to fill these voids with her new book, which is a simple story about a young boy who has a special appreciation for American soldiers. The book was recently added to the Dr. Laura Schlessinger Book List.

Since being added to the book list, a donation appeal was launched to raise money to provide veterans with Simac’s book. Over $2,000 in donations was raised during the first weekend, and now copies of the book are being given to soldiers, schools and libraries.
“It is an exciting story as people who read the book are willing to donate their own money to spread the simple message that it carries,” Simac said.

This is going on all over America. Quietly, under the radar. Islamic infiltration is rather chameleon in nature. It blends in with the cultures it infests. Americans are being seduced on a number of levels. One of the most insidious facilitators of this infusion is the destructive mantra of multiculturalism abetted by the politically correct automatons in education and media.

Thus in classroom after classroom Judeo-Christian stories and symbols are being legally removed as Islam comes slinking in under the guise of “understanding. Whether Muslims impose their will through rioting or silkily glide in on the wings of the democratic process, the results will be the same; the end of freedom and the end of the west.
From Laura Mansfield’’s 4 part series; Jihad in Small Town America

“Deep in the Bible belt, students in the rural South Carolina town of Saluda are learning about Islam. Students in Mrs. Stribbles’ class at the Saluda Middle School are spending a considerable amount of time on a webquest, learning about Islam.

According to the school website, the students will have the opportunity to journey through Syria following an Islamic family. The website explains that because the Islamic faith is part of the culture of Asia, the students must be quite familiar with Islam before studying the people and government of the region.

However, the school does not follow the same procedures for learning about the Buddhist faith when studying countries where that religion predominates; nor does it allow in-depth study of the Catholic religion when studying such areas of the world as South America, where that faith is very much a part of daily life.

Less than 50 miles away, in the Columbia, South Carolina suburb of Columbia, a high school not far from the state Capitol received significant media attention. Dr. Daniel Pipes reported that students at Irmo High School were required as part of a history class to:”

• Create a pamphlet to teach people about Islam.
• Extensive discussion of the five pillars of Islam.
• Listen to a presentation by an Orthodox Christian priest who informed the students that all religions are based on Islam.

The teacher of the class is Minhaj Arastu, who is also the director of the local chapter of CAIR. According to report, Arastu told the students that the United States is a ‘Judeo-Christian-Muslim’ nation according to the beliefs of the founding fathers.

In an interview with local radio station 89.7 WMHK, Arastu said ‘Islam shares a Biblical heritage with Jews and Christians, and so when we talk about the value of life, or family values, we can talk about them as being Judeo-Christian-Islamic.”
Arastu also acts as the sponsor of the school Muslim student group, and was instrumental in having a portion of the school library set aside for Muslim students to pray each day. The Irmo Muslim Student Association meets every other Monday after school in Arastu’s classroom. There appear to be no such accommodations for other faiths. In fact, a review of the clubs currently active on campus at Irmo High School shows only one other faith-based organization, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

The Kansas City Star reported that students on the third, fourth, and fifth grades in Herndon VA public schools were visited during Ramadan by a “multicultural trainer”, Afeefa Syeed. The children play acted being Muslims. Pupils from a nearby Muslim school will visit classes in the town’s public schools to educate their counterparts in Islam, accompanied by Ms. Syeed.

The Star goes on to explain that during Ramadan, the students were required to “role-play” Islamic traditions, including reciting Quran and imitating the Muslim prayer.

And our pathetic government refuses to use the word jihad. And so it will go, this cancer that is Islam, feeding on the oily fat of a comatose West. And those of us who can see, who can hear, who do not retreat to denial, we are doomed to be awake throughout the coming barbarism. We have not been able to drown ourselves in the Kool-aid elixir of peace and compassion, understanding and dialog.

What utter rot.

Our enemies, supported by the governments that they leech from, overtake public streets bellowing their hatred of the kafir, their lurid loathing of all things Western. And police stand back, impotent and cowed, politicians stutter spittle flecked lies and platitudes, and the hapless progressive cows gaze about with bulging dazed eyes, glibly sputtering peace while the shimmering blade of the knife descends.
No wonder the terrorists love Obama. His spiritual roots are deep in the soil that this iman’s spirit feeds from. In fact, he and Rev. Wright could share the same pulpit.

I still don’t have an internet connection, I got fed up waiting for Primus to do something and went back to Bell. They are coming next Friday to upgrade the wiring here to high speed, then I’ll probably have to wait till they send a modem and hook me up. That will make it over a month. I’ve changed my bank acct so Primus can’t take any money out, they’ve billed me in spite of not providing internet service, my old server, VIF are threatening me with a collection agency for the next year’s payment even though I am no longer on line with them, what is it with these people? Bell is a bit more expensive but at least you know you’re dealing with a legitimate company.
Meantime I don’t have time on line to even keep up with my e-mail, I get to read a few of my favourite blogs and that’s it.
Otherwise I’m doing a seven day work week, got a bit behind schedule, the family is fine, got a few grand kid pics to post, also have the April Tree Pic, didn’t get one for March, it was mostly dull nondescript weather, there was no point trying.
Zee, I hope you are over your ‘bug’, sorry I’m not here to help out, how are you feeling now? Hey, at least spring is here with the summer to look forward to, my favourite time of year.

I wonder how many of you know of George Jonas, he writes in The National Post here in Canada, here is a sample column, this one on Israel’s 60′th birthday.

This week, about 100 prominent British Jews saw fit to publish a letter in the Guardian newspaper to outline why they’re not celebrating the birthday of a state that is, they say, “inflicting a monstrous collective punishment on the civilian population of Gaza and that continues to deny to Palestinians their human rights and national aspirations. We will celebrate when Arab and Jew live as equals in a peaceful Middle East.”

Do playwright Harold Pinter, Professor Haim Bresheeth, actress Miriam Margolyes, broadcaster Mike Rosen, and their friends really believe that it is Israel that stands in the way of Arabs and Jews living as equals in a peaceful Middle East? I don’t know what they believe, but that’s what they say.

Delusional? Well — the signatories are said to be well-oriented to time and place, can feed themselves, count backwards from 100 and tie their own shoelaces. Go figure.

Cya all!

Mother’s Day recognizes mothers for their dedication, resourcefulness and persistence. But some working mothers say that on the job, they’re viewed in opposite terms.

They say employers see them as less reliable, focused and committed than their co-workers, and weed them out of job interviews or bypass them for promotions.The practice has been labeled maternal profiling, and it is the source of a growing body of discrimination lawsuits being filed against employers.

According to the Center for WorkLife Law at the University of California’s Hastings College of Law, family-related discrimination cases increased by 400 percent from 1996 to 2005. Some workers sued because they were questioned about their marital status, family plans or child-care provisions during job interviews, then promptly dismissed. Other mothers say they were taken out of contention for jobs that required travel, long hours or physical labor.(Source)

I am so sick of people who make lifestyle choices that place them outside of the mainstream, yet, they are never ready to accept the consequences of those choices. If I am hiring someone for a key position that is integral to the success of my business, a position that requires a person to be extremely focused and able to dedicate 110%, and that applicant tells me that they are three months pregnant, I am supposed to act as if that isn’t a negative? When I know that the position simply has demands that will not allow for prolonged absences, not allow for extended “time off”, I’m supposed to forgo what is in the best interests of my business to accommodate some convoluted notion of discriminatory hiring practices?

And, I’m sorry, but women are so damn predictable when it comes to wanting their cake and eating it too. They want to dress like sluts, yet still demand respect. They want the sexual freedom to rut like dogs, and then they want society to bless them when they kill off the ensuing inconvenient litters. ( After all, babies are punishment in a world governed by Obama’s progressive values.) They want to break through those never ending glass ceilings as long as they don’t have to hurt their pretty, little heads. They want to make the commitment to bring a human life into the world, yet expect a business owner to pretend that such a commitment will not impact their job performance.

Would you apply for a full time job when you already have one and then expect the prospective employer to pretend that your prior commitments will not impinge on the time and dedication that the job position demands? Contrary to the prevailing “wisdom” that parenting is a task that can be slipped in between more pressing concerns, being a mother is a full time job. A woman applies for it while on her back, in bed, and if she came to that particular interview without protection, then she damn well better be prepared to perform in the position that her actions indicated she was willing to accept.

“If motherhood were viewed as the full-time job it is,” Ms. Venker contends, “it would not be considered something we could do on the side, and women would be less inclined to try to balance career and motherhood, only to discover, many stress-filled years later, that it cannot be done.” ¹

But the MSM isn’t going to focus on the damaged children and broken families left behind in the wake of working mothers. They are going to continue to perpetuate the fallacy that these women deserve special consideration while they are in the workforce.

Katie Mullins-Hall of Price Hill moved from a temporary worker to a full-time position at a local furniture wholesaler. Her first day on the job, while filling out medical forms, she mentioned she might be pregnant. “They said, ‘Why don’t you go home, and when you find out for sure if you’re pregnant, let us know. We need someone we can count on every day,’” Mullins-Hall said. “I waited a couple of weeks, but back then women didn’t know we could fight it.”

No Katie, back then the bogus claim of discrimination had not yet gained credibility. “We need someone we can count on every day…” And that is unreasonable? Would the same woman hire someone to remodel her house to the tune of a 1/2 million bucks if the contractor showed up 7 months pregnant with a toddler in tow?

Today, women at every professional level can face such discrimination. Carol Gibbs, chief executive officer of the welfare diversion program Accountability and Credibility Together, says mothers who work entry-level jobs are often fired as soon as they start missing work with sick children.

“…mothers who work entry-level jobs are often fired as soon as they start missing work with sick children.” And why shouldn’t they be fired?!? Why the hell should I, as an employer, have to suffer the consequences of hiring anyone whose personal circumstances make them unreliable. Why is it the employer’s problem that a woman can’t figure out birth control? That she is so besotted with magical thinking that she has allowed herself to buy into the super mom myth. Yeah, the super mom can “do it all”, but apparently only if she is propped up by her employer or by tax payers. Yeah, these independent women are something to behold.

… “I’m seeing it in sales - assumptions are made that a woman with small children won’t be able to travel,” she said. “Twenty years ago, men did overtly make those assumptions. Now it’s a little more subtle but it’s there - that mothers just can’t travel, or that they shouldn’t, that ’she’s not a very good mother because she puts her job before her kids.’”

I’m quite sorry, but any woman who puts their “career” before their child is not a great candidate for motherhood.. She may be a “good” mother, however, today’s definition of a “good mother” seems to be reduced to describing those women who juggle their kids’ lives the most adroitly without dropping them completely between the cracks of their ambitions. If a kid is still breathing and bears some semblance to a human being, the progressive mother’s maternal obligations have been satisfied. Incidental is the state of their child’s soul, the direction of their moral compass, or the quality of their character - if any of that is even an issue for the “modern” mother.

Mary Eberstadt, author of Home-Alone America, makes some very interesting observations when pondering why the venal claptrap that passes for lyrics in contemporary music has resonance with today’s youth. “What is it about today’s music, violent and disgusting though it may be, that resonates with so many American kids?

As it turns out, such an exercise yields a fascinating and little understood fact about today’s adolescent scene. If yesterday’s rock was the music of abandon, today’s is that of abandonment.

The odd truth about contemporary teenage music — the characteristic that most separates it from what has gone before — is its compulsive insistence on the damage wrought by broken homes, family dysfunction, checked-out parents, and (especially) absent fathers.

Papa Roach, Everclear, Blink-182, Good Charlotte, Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam, Kurt Cobain and Nirvana, Tupac Shakur, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Eminem — these and other singers and bands, all of them award-winning top-40 performers who either are or were among the most popular icons in America, have their own generational answer to what ails the modern teenager.

Surprising though it may be to some, that answer is: dysfunctional childhood. Moreover, and just as interesting, many bands and singers explicitly link the most deplored themes in music today — suicide, misogyny, and drugs — with that lack of a quasi-normal, intact-home personal past.

To put this perhaps unexpected point more broadly, during the same years in which progressive-minded and politically correct adults have been excoriating Ozzie and Harriet as an artifact of 1950s-style oppression, many millions of American teenagers have enshrined a new generation of music idols whose shared generational signature in song after song is to rage about what not having had a nuclear family has done to them. This is quite a fascinating puzzle of the times. The self-perceived emotional damage scrawled large across contemporary music may not be statistically quantifiable, but it is nonetheless among the most striking of all the unanticipated consequences of our home-alone world. (emphasis mine) (source)

Not that it makes much difference to the femi-nazi, social engineering whores whose cherished goal is the destruction of that nuclear family. No doubt, their utopia consists of women depositing infants into the hands of the state a day after birth. But the Marxist reality that the destruction of the family unit reflects is an entirely different topic.

I have two daughter-in-laws who are both expecting their second child. They are under no illusions that the market place ought to accommodate them. In fact, daughter-in-law ‘O’ illustrates exactly why companies are justifiably reluctant to hire women who are mothers or are expecting.

‘O’ was promoted to a managerial position with a “progressive” company who didn’t stutter a jot when she announced that she was pregnant with her first child one month into her new position. She had a rough pregnancy while trying to take on the new responsibilities that retail management entail. The job suffered and she suffered. She took her maternity leave, promising to return to working full tilt after six weeks. Never happened.

‘O’ is an intelligent woman who unfortunately bought into the “you can do it all” anthem she grew up with. She quickly discovered she was sold a bill of goods.

You see, one thing feminists really hate is that something profound usually occurs to the woman of a newborn. A shift occurs inside that turns preconceived notions of mothering right on their heads. Careers loose their appeal and selfishness gives way to that part of a woman who can never give enough for their child. Yeah, feminism has little use for maternal instincts. But they kick in. Fortunately, my son is adamant that ‘O’ not work and god willing, the “progressives” represented by the Obama-ites won’t force her back into the job market with their elevated fuel prices and economy killing, nanny state ambitions.

And as an aside, I am finding it very interesting that both of my sons, survivors of this “career” woman, are adamant that their wives not work, even if it means that they are facing horrendous schedules and stringent budgets. It also seems to be the general attitude of their immediate peers. I have no way of knowing if this is a trend, but there is a generation coming up that is not in the least bit represented on MTV or reality TV. They are a generation who have eaten the fruit that the harvest from “liberated women” has yielded, and they have found it very bitter.

I have been waylaid by some rogue flu bug and thus, have been absent from duty, and I do apologize. As fate would have it, Ligneus has been having connection problems and still is off line. Sitting upright for any length of time is proving to be an uncomfortable experience, so this is when we start digging through those archives.

I give you “Where Are the Watchmen?” from April of ‘06. The question still remains in ‘08.

“In August 2004, a local planning commission in Little Rock, Arkansas, granted The Islamic Center for Human Excellence authorization to build an internal Islamic enclave to include a mosque, a school, and twenty-two homes.[3] While the imam, Aquil Hamidullah, says his goal is to create “a clean community, free of alcohol, drugs, and free of gangs,”[4] the implications for U.S. jurisprudence of this and other internal enclaves are greater: while the Little Rock enclave might prevent the sale of alcohol, can it punish possession and in what manner? Can it force all women, be they residents or visitors, to don Islamic hijab (headscarf)? Such enclaves raise the fundamental questions of when, how, and to what extent religious practice may supersede the U.S. Constitution.”
[…]
The Islamic Center for Human Excellence may seek to segregate schools and offices by gender. The enclave might also exercise broad control upon commerce within its boundaries-provided the economic restrictions did not discriminate against out-of-state interests or create an undue burden upon interstate commerce. But most critically, the enclave could promulgate every internal law-from enforcing strict religious dress codes to banning alcohol possession and music; it could even enforce limits upon religious and political tolerance. Although such concepts are antithetical to a free society, U.S. democracy allows the internal enclave to function beyond the established boundaries of our constitutional framework. At the very least, the permissible parameters of an Islamist enclave are ill defined.”

Hordes of self-righteous illegal mexicans parade like so many pompous little Napoleons while chanting insulting demands, supported by the liberals and the media and a president who apparently has neither the will nor wisdom that conservatives foolishly ascribed to the man. While the Mexican make their claim upon our land, Muslims are appropriating our country. They know the lay of the land, the threats to make, the alliances to grease. They are a cancer mutating through our government, our prisons, our universities and our communities, culling leagues of political sycophants, networking like the most adept American sales pro, bartering lies for concessions, embraced by a body of politicians whom I can only describe as decayed in will, spirit and mind; a passel of febrile and castrated men whose convictions are dry rotted - shredding at the merest wisp of a breeze - unable to support an ideal nor a promise.

I’m weary with the reading of it and the writing of it. Conservatives have to move against all the existing limitations and encroachments on free speech being imposed under so called hate speech laws. Any and all other convolutions of the law that the priesthood of liberal judges can conjure up to suppress opposition have to be firmly routed and defeated. If we can’t gain that ground back, we lose it all.
We have to be free to lawfully monitor every frigging land deal, every local election, every elected or nominated member on school boards, every bit of curriculum our kids see. We have to somehow raise enough awareness of the kind of deals and concessions that are being made and put these subterranean Muslim political machinations above the radar so that all of us know that a mosque is proposed or state-church law is to be violated , or 8 weeks of Islamic studies have been placed in the curriculum.

We have got to take the battle back to them and by them I mean the left and Islam. Be it Soros or Socialists or John Dean or Sheik Mo-frigging-hammad - they will destroy America. The riots that we see in France by a lazy pathetic and cowardly populace will soon be our plight. Maybe by then the American flag will be completely banned. Should it come to the point where we allow that to happen then we don’t deserve to fly her any longer. There is no courage or vision left in government and all of the men worthy of leading this country are being killed in Iraq.

For what?

So the rest of us can just continue to get our teeth kicked out by libs and muslims and their trained media flunkies? They fight and we sleep.
But to tell you the truth, I don’t sleep all that well these days anymore.

We need watchmen on the walls folks.

Where Are the Watchmen?

I’m a simple person. Since childhood, jumping in a car -  just to cruise, just for a ride, just to get lost - was always a pleasant way to spend the day. Discovery of some new, out-of- the-way attraction was always a possibility; a mom and pop restaurant, an obscure local museum, a great park or a unique store. The habit to hit the road to sooth rankled nerves has continued throughout my life.

Until now. Now my fiances are not too hot and I can’t really afford to be frivolous, and thanks to the anti-progressives who have put a stranglehold on the economy with their regressive environmental global warming nightmare, I can’t afford to simply head out on a simple hundred mile jaunt when the mood strikes me.

Another simple pleasure is spending an afternoon with the grand kids topped off with a trip to Burger King or some other junk food purveyor. But that may yet be another basic enjoyment that your friendly neighborhood Nazi “progressives” seek to deny you. Those same social engineering whores - spawned from some fetid communal pool of psychopathic control freaks - who are trying to control your use of energy are continuing their ludicrous attempts to control what you eat.

The sputtering economy has caused an increase in prices of many staples including gasoline, rice, ice cream, even beer. Now some lawmakers in New Jersey are considering taking food taxes a step further and install a proverbial “sin” tax on fast food.

Yes, the idea of marking up your favorite fast food burger or pack of fries is actually being tossed around, and it’s not settling well with many residents.

“They’re taxing everything. Now you’re gonna tax fast food? That’s crazy,” said Newark resident Miriam Robertson.
[…]
Still, some say taxing fast food isn’t such a bad idea.

“I think this country has gone too much in the direction of fast and unhealthy food, and if people are taxed they may terminate that and turn toward more healthy foods,” said West Orange resident Maureen Felix. (Source)

No Maureen , if people are taxed, some may just turn around and “terminate” budding nazis like you.

Napkins spark row at mosque | EuropeNews

BORO born and bred Rasub Afzal’s passion is promoting understanding between Teessiders and his fellow Muslims.So the taxi driver was shocked to be caught up in a furious religious row - over paper napkins printed with a brewery’s name.

They were on the tables at a Middlesbrough mosque lunch for local Muslims who are strictly forbidden to drink alcohol. One guest was so offended by the Flying Firkin name, he started a stand-up row. Now 41-year-old Rasub who tried to calm the row says it has made him fear for the future of good community relations.

“What hope have we over really important things when there is such anger at something like this,” he said.

The storm brewed at a no-alcohol lunch in Middlesbrough’s Waterloo Road Mosque. Dozens of Muslims were there to hear a speech on unity by the Bradford-based Commissioner for Pakistan.

Suddenly one guest from Stockton became infuriated at the sight of the name on the napkins and began to criticise organisers.

Rasub, who was on his table, said: “He made a remark about the napkins and I tried to calm the situation by saying, ‘it’s not such a big issue’.

“I apologised even though he was rude and abusive to me. I even poured him a glass of orange.

“But I was quite intimidated by his attitude, in fact I thought he might hit me. He said it was against Islam because the napkins had the name of a drinks company.

“I was appalled at this man’s behaviour. A lot of people came up to me afterwards and said it was totally unacceptable.”

Rasub, a 41-year-old dad of three who lives in Longlands, prays three times a day at the town’s Central Mosque in Southfield Road.

“I was born at the Carter Bequest and my children are at school and university here,” he said. “I am a British Muslim and involved in local community relations, if I can help someone I will.”

Recently Rasub has talked about human rights to government ministers and met with local judge Peter Fox.

He said: “Lots of drunks get into my taxi and I don’t turn them away. If they are young girls who have (…)

But that seems to be the overriding meme within the Obamista culture—information control. Thought control. Why, just last week, I was watching a YouTube video of one of Obama’s lame attempts to explain his “clinging to religion and guns” faux pas. I read some of the comments under the video, and was thoroughly disgusted by the perfect unanimity displayed by the fawning, drooling boobs who were making the comments. So I thought I’d spice things up in the comments section by informing them that they were behaving like morons. But lo and behold, the comments were being moderated. Ergo the unanimity.

Information control. Thought control. The Obama freaks enforced it with Stalin-esque rigidity in the comments to the YouTube video. And that’s what the nutroots on Daily Kos and the Huffington Post wanted to enforce during last night’s Democratic debate. They wanted to prevent Stephanopoulos from asking Obama probing questions about the Wright/bitterness/Ayers situations.

It’s kind of scary, really. The Obamista approach to information control is eerily echoed in the words of a certain earlier politician…

Rand Abdel-Qader confided to her closest friend Zeinab that she fell in love the moment she saw the young soldier at the charity for displaced families, and she dreamed of a future with him. On March 16 - two months after Rand last saw Paul - her father Abdel-Qader Ali heard from a friend that his daughter had been seen speaking to the soldier at the charity project. Recalling Rand’s murder, her weeping mother Leila Hussein said: “I screamed and called out for her two brothers so they could get their father away. But when he told them the reason, instead of saving her they helped him end her life.”

Abdel-Qader Ali stood on the girl’s throat until she suffocated and then stabbed her, all the time shouting that his honour was being cleansed. He was arrested and released within two hours. Sergeant Ali Jabbar of Basra police said: “The father has very good contacts in the Basra government.” Because her family considered her impure, Rand was given only a simple burial. Her uncles spat in her grave to show their disgust. Two weeks later her mother demanded a divorce from Ali, and she now campaigns against honour killings.(emphasis mine)

A reader (thank you) turned me on to this clip hosted over at Michelle Malkin. In 1976 I was a useless hippie, roaming the country. Not political, I paid little heed to the destruction my generation was inflicting. I was too busy “finding myself” . Gag me.

I certainly wish that men like Rick Monday had prevailed in the following decades. Instead, the leftest vermin invading this baseball field seems to have had the most impact. Shame on them, shame on me.

Over 40,000 baseball fans saw Monday risk his career by grabbing what could easily have been a fireball to rescue the American flag from a couple of asshats, and suddenly it recalled the real patriotism and passion for America that had been missing in 1976. At first in isolated pockets but soon sweeping around the stands like The Wave would later do, Americans stood up and sang “God Bless America” — not prompted by the stadium organist but fueled by love of country.

For my money, it’s the single best moment in sports. God bless Rick Monday, and God bless America.

The Obama File

A privileged African-American, who has not shared the black American experience…
By birth, blood and training, a Muslim, who has been a member of a Black-African church for 20 years…
A socialist whose politics are rooted in Marx and whose methods were developed by Alinsky…
A master at shaping his own mythology and completely unqualified to be Commander in Chief…

There is quite a bit to know about Obama and The Obama File does a damn fine job organizing it for your research pleasure. Well, actually reading about this fool amounts to pure torture, but, at least it’s orderly torture.
