U.S. Drawdown Stirs Fears In Central Asia

GlobalSecurity.org  "Immediately after President Barack Obama's June 22 speech announcing a timetable for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, several other NATO allies, including the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, followed suit with statements detailing pullouts of their own. Canada has since ended its combat mission.
"Today the Taliban may lack a physical presence in the former Soviet republics of Central Asia, but those are the countries that have the most to fear as the security situation in northern Afghanistan continues to deteriorate."

Red Alert: Details on the Death of Karzai's Brother  "For President Karzai, the death of Ahmed Wali couldn’t have come at a worse time. The senior Karzai was already confronting the fact that U.S.-NATO forces have begun working toward a withdrawal from the country and have engaged in talks with the Taliban as well as neighboring Pakistan. The loss of his influential sibling further weakens President Karzai’s position in the south of Afghanistan and complicates efforts to try and reach a negotiated settlement with the Taliban."

Obama and "Fairness" Demagoguery

Bruce S. Thornton   It’s the Philosophy, Stupid    "Some political Socrates needs to challenge this formula by asking for a definition of “fair.” Clearly, having the top 10% of taxpayers pay 70% of all income taxes — while nearly half of taxpayers pay nothing — isn’t considered “fair” by those who want to increase taxes on high earners. So what would be fair? Having the top 10% pay 80%, or 90%, or 100%? The US already has the most progressive tax system among 24 OECD countries, ahead of socialist heartthrobs like Sweden and Norway, so what more do Democrats want?"

Victor Davis Hanson: The Demagogic Style  "Under a more skilled practitioner such as Barack Obama, the arts of demagoguery have become somewhat more refined in our time, but they nevertheless follow the same old patterns:"

1) The use of an incendiary, but otherwise unimportant, example to whip up anger against the so-called establishment classes....
2) The demagogic rejection of demagoguery....
3) The evocation of anonymous straw men, sometimes referred to as “some” or “they”....
4) First-person nausea....
5) Inconsistency of position, predicated on the (always changing) perception of 51 percent majority opinion....

My Phone Conversation With Islam Promoting Reverend Rasicci

More on John Rasicci

Loganswarning  "He definitely sounded like this was an issue he did not want to discuss.

CL: I would like to know why you are promoting a religion that calls for the dominance of Christians?

Rev: I am not promoting it.

CL: Yes you are, you are not stating that Islam is the anti-thesis of Christianity, and you are allowing them to pray in the Church.

Rev: It creates dialogue. But I cannot get into this on the phone with you.
