American Thinker, Pamela Geller: We Won -- Now What?

 

Read my latest, written for today's American Thinker. Here's an excerpt from We Won -- Now What:

This is the price of force. This is the price of coercion. This is the price of statism. This is the price of big government. The very idea of America has been subsumed by an enslavement mentality. 


Every dollar the government robs from business, from the individual people, is a dollar that won't be invested in the private sector. Wealth won't be created, jobs won't be created, entrepreneurs and businessmen will be deprived of capital, etc. The United States was founded on the principle of individual rights -- government was designed to be small. The objective of the government was defense -- protection of individual rights.


What has the government done with the untold wealth they looted from the American people, other than sucking much-needed capital out of our free society to pay off their thugs, crooks, and corrupt organizations, and get-out-the-vote community organizations?


Government is not the answer -- it destroys everything it touches. We must take back the culture, because politics is merely a reflection of the culture. The left has the culture in a chokehold. They demonize the successful and hardworking and exalt failures, moochers and looters -- an inverted moral priority.


We are done with lies. We are done with "It's Bush's fault." We are done with "Obama inherited the second Great Depression." No. Obama's policies led to a great coming depression. Obama talks about Bush spending? The utter gall. Bush was Jack Benny to Obama's profligate Mack Daddy Warbucks. The left can spin it any way they like -- the economic emergency of 2008 was a direct result of Democrat entitlement/financial policy: Carter's Community Investment Act (CIA), Clinton's sub-prime push and the ensuing Barney Frank Freddie Mac/Fanny Mae plunder. I do not fault Bush war expenditures. We are at war with a ruthless, bloodthirsty savage ideology that has no humanity. No expense can be spared in defeating jihad. Obama's sniveling like a little girl falls on deaf ears when you consider the trillions he stole from us for no reason but to pad the pockets of his shadow government.


Our victory is the beginning of the 40 years war -- who is with me?


We will repeal national socialist ObamaCare.


We will destroy all old propaganda media. New media is steamrolling over the dead media walking.


We will repeal the financial reform bill that scapegoated business for the abject failures of the Fed.


We will take back the college campuses.


We will get on our children's school boards and, just like in Texas, change the whitewashed history books and review the syllabi.


Get government out of our lives. Dismantle big government. Piece by piece.


Deregulate business. Piece by piece. Sector by sector. Unshackle the motor of the country. Free the producer.


We will volunteer in homeschooling networks. We will donate and offer our services in our respective areas of expertise.


Unshackle America. Repeal "hate crime" legislation. All crime is hate. This is an attack on free speech. Islamic supremacists will invoke "hate speech" to kill free speech.


We  will expose and prosecute the subversives like CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, ISNA and all Muslim Brotherhood fronts whose stated aim is "eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within."


We will call our mortal enemy by its rightful name: Islamic jihad.


We will turn the Muslim Brotherhood into the Muslim Little-Girlyhood.


We will stop funding Ground Zero Mosque Imam Rauf's fund raising junkets to the Middle East.


We will stop importing whole Muslim communities from Somalia under the "UN's Resettlement Program."


We will ridicule, polarize, and render irrelevant the dogmatic, evil leftists.


We will crush them with our logic and reason and concrete facts.


We will demand reasoned discourse and laugh at their ad hominem attacks.


RINOs will not be tolerated. Leave the party, join the traitors. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, take note.


Drill baby, drill.


We will raise the voting age to 21. Military excluded. If "children" are still on their parents health-care at 26, maybe 21 is too low.


We will mandate trips for key liberals in leadership to Iran, Somalia, Darfur, et al, to see the results of  clitorectomies, stonings, and gender apartheid.


We will arrange for youth summer camps in Somalia and Darfur for Obama's youth corps, and tell them it's the peace corps for the lefties.


We will demand accountability from the United Nations, or withdraw from it.


We will save Israel from Islamic anti-semitism.


We will disqualify the Organization of the Islamic Conference at the UN until there is an Organization of the Christian Conference and Organization of the Jewish Conference.


This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. -- Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

 

Obama's Teleprompter Debuts in India

I wonder if his doppelganger is multi-lingual.

Screengrab from this video -- first question from a student is "what is your take or opinion on jihad?"

Obama: huminah huminah....... "Islam is one of the world's great religions. "Peace, justice, fairness, tolerance. This great religion, in the hands of a few extremists."

No, I am not making this up...and no, he didn't answer her question. Imagine he is saying this to the people of India. Over 80 million Hinuds have been slaughtered by jihad.

OIC-Driven UN Tacit Support of Islamic Genocide in Sudan, Rejects Calls for Help Ahead of Vote for Independence

Francis Bok speaking about Sudan in New York.

The Organization of the Islamic Conference supports the murderous Muslim regime of Sudan. Hence the UN supports the murderous Muslim regime of Sudan. This is genocide. This is jihad. Millions dead over the past twenty years.

I have marched, rallied, and protested at the UN with former slaves in Sudan in front of the UN. Simon Deng and fighters for freedom have marched from New York's United Nations building to Washington DC year after year to to call attention to the referendum in Southern Sudan, the genocide being perpetrated against the people of Darfur, and the continuation of slavery and other horrific human rights violations thoughout the country.The sillies in Hollywood speak out against the genocide in Darfur, yet remain silent as to the murderers and their ideology.

The left and the Islamic supremacists call us racists while they smile and sanction the wholesale slaughter of blacks, Christians, moderate Muslims, women, and children. Where are the African American leaders? The lefturd leaders? The human rights advocates? Damn them. Damn them all.

And where is our President? Bolton called out Obama on Sudan: "Obama appeasement may rekindle genocide"

UN rejects call by southern Sudan for help during a secession vote. Kenneth Solomon, Red State

Convert, submit or die.

That's the three choices of infidels under Islam….. and apparently also under those who appease it and/or turn a blind eye.

(Reuters) - The United Nations on Saturday rejected calls by south Sudan to send peacekeepers and set up a buffer zone along the country's tense north-south border ahead of a southern vote on independence next year.

Sudan's oil-producing south is 66 days away from the scheduled start of a politically sensitive referendum on whether to secede or stay part of Sudan, a vote promised in a 2005 peace deal that ended decades of civil war with the north.

Two years ago, Al Arabiya producer Nabil Kassem was asked to put together a documentary film on Darfur. What he witnessed there, and recorded in this film, were scenes of unspeakable brutality and untold suffering, scenes he thought would surely wake up an Arab public all too willing to let Darfur pass by. But 'Jihad on Horseback' never made it across the airwaves. Watch part 1 of the film to see perhaps the most provocative Arab documentary ever made.

Prosecutor: Sudan uses hunger as weapon

The Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague has again publically alleged that the Government of Sudan is engaged in an ongoing genocide against non-Arab tribes of Darfur. The Sudanese authorities prevented the flow of food to the camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and disrupted relief operations, said an aide of the chief prosecutor. ...

[Islam Shalaby] said the government changed its tactics from directly attacking people with weapons to creating difficult conditions for them to survive in. Shalaby said that what is happening in Darfur are not isolated events but consistent government policy that is well thought out and implemented systematically.

Saturday Night Cinema: The Outlaw

 

Tonight's feature film,  "The Outlaw" is a 1943 classic Western directed by Howard Hughes and starring Jane Russell. The supporting cast includes Walter Huston as Doc Holliday. Hughes also produced the film, while Howard Hawks served as an uncredited co-director. The film is notable as Russell's breakthrough role, turning the young actress into a sex symbol and a Hollywood icon.

The Outlaw gained worldwide notoriety stemming from an obsession with Jane Russell's ample assets.

Jan Russell won the lead role after Howard Hughes conducted a nationwide search for a curvaceous actress, eventually finding her working in his dentist's office. The film caused a storm of controversy due primarily to the amount of cleavage shown by Russell onscreen, and, after brief releases in 1941 and 1943,

Although the movie was completed in 1941, it was released to only a limited showing two years later. It did not see a general release until 1946. The delay was a result of Hughes defying the Hays Code, which set the standard of morally acceptable content in motion pictures. By showcasing Russell's breasts in both the movie and the poster artwork, The Outlaw became very controversial.

In 1941, while filming The Outlaw, Hughes felt that the camera did not do justice to Jane Russell's large bust. He employed his engineering skills to design a new cantilevered underwire bra to emphasize her assets. Hughes added rods of curved structural steel that were sewn into the brassiere below each breast. The rods were connected to the bra's shoulder straps. The arrangement allowed the breasts to be pulled upward and made it possible to move the shoulder straps away from the neck. The design allowed for any amount of bosom to be freely exposed.

The emphasis on her breasts proved too much for the Hollywood Production Code Administration, which ordered cuts to the film. To obtain the Boards' required Seal of Approval, Hughes reluctantly removed about 40 feet, or a half-minute, of footage that featured Russell's bosom. He still had problems getting the film distributed, so he schemed to create a public outcry for his film to be banned. The resulting controversy generated enough interest to get The Outlaw into the theaters for one week in 1943, before being withdrawn due to objections by the Code censors. When the film was finally released in 1946, it was a box office hit.

 

Obama in India, I kid you not

Perhaps Obama is hoping to divert attention from the "shellacking" he took last Tuesday, a stunning rebuke to his agenda. So off he goes on this nonsensical trip, Nero spending hundreds of millions (at a time when the country is in dire straits), and what does he get for it? Carmen Miranda.

Screenshot from this news report (minute 9:55). The world knows what a schmuck he is.

 

Operation Fetal Position

While we are constantly being schooled in how insensitive we are to Muslims, and how we should be bowing to the idea of a Ground Zero mega mosque, or are being admonished for not embracing the sharia, the state of wartime siege continues unabated. The Muslim world is under no such mandate to reach out or reciprocate. They only have to demand and the West apologizes.

The war that no one will talk about for fear of reprisals blazes on. And when the brave actually do talk about it, they are relegated to the pile of racist-islamophobic-antimuslim-bigots. This schema defies reason.

The rise and resurrection of Islamic jihad, and its ensuing war on the west rages on, thanks to the largest transfer of wealth in history from Western societies to petrol-rich Muslim nations and an incomprehensible, suicidal surrender of our once exalted value system. Instead, the West chooses to respect barbarism and eschew the decent and the good.

We live in a constant state of low-grade war. And with each new Muslim attack, we lose a right. We lose a freedom. We have to adhere to some new restriction or loss of privacy. You cannot enter a building in New York City without being carded (I am not sure what illegal aliens do, perhaps they are given a free pass -- as in all things).

There are daily brutal, bloody attacks by Muslim supremacists across the world, and the major concern is not to discuss or insult Islam. The only accepted dialogue is dawah, Islamic supremacist-dictated terms of dialogue (in mosques, no less).

The silence on last weekend's wholesale slaughter of Christians praying in a Church is indicative of how decayed, empty and morally inverted our leaders and media have become. The slaughter of the churchgoers in Baghdad was a crime against humanity. And there are thousands of stories of Islamic slaughter, but the lambs remain silent. Have we become so inured to Islamic jihad that human life is cheap to us as well? Horrible.

We have relinquished our most basic human right -- free speech. The media self-censors, our political leaders self-censor and obey the sharia rule of not insulting Islam. We are not permitted to identify the enemy; doing so is "hate speech." According to the Department of Defense and media elites, the motive behind the Fort Hood jihad remains a "mystery." And Major Hasan's proposed "insanity" defense is dashed by the "premassacre preperations," his business card, his dawah before jihad, and his powerpoint presentation.

Every aspect of the daily social fabric of our life has changed.

There was a time when air travel was fun, exciting. Instead it has become wretched, like entering into Sing Sing on the first day of a prison sentence. This, too, is part of the war. The time lost, the hassle. And think of the money. Vast wealth is being spent on this inane strategy, "operation fetal position," instead of being spent on vanquishing our enemy (which we could do in a heartbeat, with the will). Think of the ridiculous TSA, another huge bureaucratic agency created at the insistence of the Democrats. Bush did not want to create another bloated government agency. He wanted to keep it in the private sector,  but the Dems could not resist another parasitic money-sucking agency replete with all the entitlements of government mooching and looting.

And now our stupidity is being exploited for cash.

Airports cash in on terror checks: £5 charge to jump queues 'they keep long' Daily Mail
Airports are cashing in on the queues at their security gates by charging passengers to use fast-track priority lanes.

At least eight have introduced the system and are charging travellers up to £5 to beat the queues.

A whistleblower security guard at Luton Airport, which adopted the system last year, claimed there is a deliberate policy to let the queues grow to encourage people to pay for the express lane.

Queueing: The security process is so time-consuming that passengers are paying to use a 'priority lane' at the airport

The claim was made as travellers were warned to expect more stringent checks in the wake of the cargo plane terror plot emanating from Yemen.

With the checks involving the removal of shoes and belts, body scans and patdown searches, the process is so time-consuming that passengers are arriving at airports up to three hours before departure to make sure they catch their flights.

Luton introduced a fee of £3 in March last year, allowing travellers to skip the queue by using a 'priority lane' to reach the security checkpoint.

Bristol and Aberdeen have £5 charges. Leeds Bradford, East Midlands, Liverpool John Lennon and Newcastle have £3 charges. Manchester has a fast-track security lane for travellers who book expensive VIP Valet parking.

The Luton security guard told the Daily Mail: 'Before the priority lane was introduced we had to keep queues down. Now the lane is there staff are told to create queues, which forces passengers to pay for the priority lane.'

The claim was denied by Luton Airport.

The Air Transport Users Council, the official consumer body for passengers, described the claims as 'worrying'. Its chief executive, Simon Evans, said the ATUC was monitoring the situation. He added: 'Going through security is not a service, not a perk, it is something that people have to do.

Islamic Supremacists Claim Responsibility for UPS Plane Crash and Mail Bomb Plot

Al Qaeda (Arabic translation -- CENTOM or headquarters), the military wing of Islam, is claiming responsibility for the UPS plane crash on September 3rd, as well as the mail bomb plot involving scores of "expertly constructed bombs" on terror Friday (tick tock).

Whether there was a bomb on board that jet remains to be seen, but knowing that our law enforcement authorities are keeping these attacks on the West secret (ie exploding dogs), I would remain skeptical of dhimmi authorities who cover up and hide heinous bomb plots that would slaughter infidels.

Al Qaeda Yemen wing claims parcel plot, UPS crash REUTERS

Al Qaeda's Yemen-based wing claimed responsibility for a foiled plot to send explosive parcels to the United States last week, and for the crash of a UPS jet in Dubai in September.

A statement that appeared on Islamist websites on Friday, attributed to Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), also vowed more strikes on the United States in comments addressed to President Barack Obama.

"We say to Obama, we have struck your jets three times in one year and we will continue, God willing, to strike the interests of America and its allies."

In Washington an official said the United States could not confirm that AQAP was behind the September 3 crash of the aircraft operated by the U.S. parcel delivery firm UPS.

"There are very strong indications that AQAP was responsible for plotting last week's disrupted cargo plane plot," a U.S. counter-terrorism official told Reuters. "But we can't confirm at this point their claims about the early September incident," added the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

AQAP's statement also blamed Saudi Arabia for tipping off security services and allowing them to intercept the bombs, addressed to two Chicago synagogues, in Britain and Dubai last Friday. "Our devices were headed to Jewish Zionist temples but you intervened with your treachery to protect them," it said.

The militant group claimed responsibility for the UPS crash, in which two crew members died, even though the United Arab Emirates' civil aviation authority said on Sunday that there was no evidence of an explosive device aboard the jet.

Muslim Terror in the Skies: Exploding Dogs

A cargo plane was targeted by terrorist who loaded two dogs up with explosives on a flight from Baghdad International Airport  to Los Angeles. The dogs were discovered in a freight area at Baghdad airport, but because they were dead, they were never loaded aboard the plane.

What's next? Kids? By the by,  infidels knew of the plot two years ago, but covered for the Muslim terrorists and kept it secret.

Unbelievable. It must have been difficult for the Muslims stuffing the dogs with the bombs and detonators considering how they loathe dogs. They sacrifices they make for jihad.........

The sick Islamic  terrorist plot to bomb a U.S. plane with exploding DOGS Daily Mail (hat trip Petrov)
Sick Islamic terrorists tried to bring down a US cargo plane using two exploding DOGS, it was revealed today.
The Kamikaze canines - whose stomach had been stuffed with bombs and detonators - were discovered at Baghdad airport two years ago, French daily Le Figaro said.
They had been primed to explode in mid-flight, but were never loaded aboard the aircraft because freight handlers spotted both dogs had died in their cages.

A cargo plane was targeted by terrorist who loaded two dogs up with explosives on a flight from Baghdad International Airport, formerly named Saddam International Airport, to Los Angeles

Post mortem examinations on the animals uncovered explosives and detonators set to go off several hours into the flight from the Iraqi capital to Los Angeles, Le Figaro said.

The paper learned the information from a US military source earlier this week, it said.

The horrifying revelations come after one of two bombs sent from Yemen concealed inside printer ink cartridges was discovered at Britain's East Midlands airport last week.

France's interior ministry claimed the device was defused just 17 minutes before it was due to explode.

The shock discovery of the live animal bombs two years ago was investigated by the International Civil Aviation Organisation at the time and airlines and cargo flight operators were immediately alerted to risk of exploding pets, Le Figaro said.

The paper added: 'This discovery was made two years ago but kept secret from the public.

'The dogs were discovered in a freight area at Baghdad airport, but because they were dead, they were never loaded aboard the plane.'

A US soldier is seen stroking a stray dog, which have multiplied since the US invasion. In 2008, when the canine bombs were found, Baghdad started to cull dog packs. By 2010 there were over 1m strays and officials sent out sharp shooters to cull them

The Election that Keeps on Giving: Olbermann Out :)

The worst person in the world gets the boot. Uber undashtupper, Keith Olbermann, has been thrown out on his pathetic rump. Bwahahhahahahaha.

I must say that I have been lauded as Olberwomann's worst person of the world more than once. 

If they take this human stain back, they deserve their laughable ratings.

 Olbermann suspended for Dem contributions CNN (hat tip Paul B)

(CNN) - Keith Olbermann, MSNBC's primetime firebrand host, has been suspended indefinitely for violating the ethics policies of his employer earlier this year when he donated to three Democrats seeking federal office, MSNBC announced Friday.

"I became aware of Keith's political contributions late last night. Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended him indefinitely without pay," MSNBC President Phil Griffin said in a statement.

First reported by Politico and confirmed by Federal Election Commission filings, the primetime television host gave $2,400 – the maximum individual amount allowed – to each of the campaigns of Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway, and Arizona Reps. Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords. (View PDF's of FEC filings for Conway, Grijalva, and Giffords)

Conway lost his bid to Republican Rand Paul while Grijalva eked out a win over Tea Party-backed candidate Ruth McClung for a fifth term. Grijalva found himself in an increasingly competitive race after he announced his support of a boycott of Arizona businesses in response to the state's controversial new immigration law and often appeared on Olbermann's show where he found a sympathetic audience. CNN, meanwhile, has yet to declare a winner in Giffords' race, but the Democrat currently holds about a 3,000-vote lead with all precincts reporting.

The contributions may have violated an NBC policy that requires employers of the news organization to obtain permission ahead of any political donations or activities that could be deemed as a conflict of interest. CNN institutes a similar policy.

In a statement to Politico before the suspension was announced, Olbermann defended the contributions:

"One week ago, on the night of Thursday October 28 2010, after a discussion with a friend about the state of politics in Arizona, I donated $2,400 each to the re-election campaigns of Democratic Representatives Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords," he said in the statement. "I also donated the same amount to the campaign of Democratic Senatorial candidate...
