Race on the Brain
Victor Davis Hanson "Sherrod amplified her remarks, her husband’s views were aired, and the net result was yet another incident in a long, tired narrative, one the American people did not have to endure when other prominent African Americans (Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice) held some of the nation’s top offices."
That Mosque (Updated)
MORE ON THE MOSQUE "If you get the Arabic version of the Imam's book the title will be "A Call for Dawa from the World Trade Center Rubble" Now the only part of that phrase you might not understand is the word "Dawa." So let's replace that word with one that infidels will understand and re-state the title to the Imam's book: "A Call For The Spread of Islam From the World Trade Center Rubble" "

Muslim Critic of Ground Zero Mosque Says She’s Being Threatened by Property’s Owner "On Monday, back in Toronto, Raza says she received a call on her cellphone from a man who identified as Sharif El Gamal. “His tone was intimidating,” said Raza. “He accused me of ‘jumping into’ the meeting he called and then said ‘May Allah protect you.’ I was shocked and hung up.” "
No Church at Ground Zero, Yet Faith and Hope Persist "For the 91st year, members of the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox parish in Lower Manhattan gathered on the day in the liturgical calendar that honors the namesake of their church. For the seventh year, they had no church in which to gather. "
Arabs distance themselves from Ground Zero Mosque "But what do Arab Muslims think about the so-called “ground-zero mosque”? “Many Muslims fear that the mosque will become a shrine for Islamists, which would remind Americans of what Muslims did on 9/11,” Dr. Gamal Abd Al-Gawad, director of Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies in Cairo told The Media Line."

US breast cancer drug decision 'marks start of death panels'
UK Telegraph "The FDA advisory panel has now voted 12-1 to drop the endorsement for breast cancer treatment. The panel unusually cited "effectiveness" grounds for the decision.

Will Republicans Save Us?
Walter E. Williams "Democrat control of the White House, House of Representatives and the Senate has produced an unprecedented level of political brazenness and contempt for the limitations placed on the federal government by the U.S. Constitution. As such, it has raised a level of constitutional interest and anger against Washington's interference in our lives that has been dormant for far too long."....
"The question is what can liberty-minded Americans expect from a Republican majority? Maybe a good starting point for an answer might be to examine how Republicans have handled their majority in the past."

Thomas Sowell: Dismantling America: Part II
Townhall ""We the people" are the central concern of the Constitution, as well as its opening words, since it is a Constitution for a self-governing nation. But "we the people" are treated as an obstacle to circumvent by the current administration in Washington.
"One way of circumventing the people is to rush legislation through Congress so fast that no one knows what is buried in it. Did you know that the so-called health care reform bill contained a provision creating a tax on people who buy and sell gold coins?"....
"You might debate whether that tax is a good or a bad idea. But the whole point of burying it in legislation about medical insurance is to make sure "we the people" don't even know about it, much less have a chance to debate it, before it becomes law."
Neal Boortz on Sowell's article "The America your grandchildren will grow to know will look nothing like that in which we grew up in. While I can't say that this administration and this period in history are entirely to blame, Obama-Pelosi-Reid have sure have their hand in this disastrous change."

Solutions for America
Heritage "Heritage Foundation President Ed Feulner describes Solutions as “a comprehensive guide for getting our nation back on the right track. Some of the policy recommendations are groundbreaking. Others are familiar. Some are being debated right now. They all have two things in common: They return power to the people, and they are all transformational ideas.” For example, Solutions recommends:"...

Pak-trained killers 'used Facebook' to track aid group
NY Post "One by one, the entire team -- Little, Woo, five other Americans, one German and two Afghans -- were wiped out. Only their driver, who fell to his knees and recited from the Koran, was spared.
"God was good to me," Safiullah told the AP in his first interview since being released. When the slaughter was over, one of the Taliban killers spoke Urdu into his radio.
"Mission accomplished," he coldly declared. "

A Nation of Teenage Deists?
Kerby Anderson, Point of View. "They summarized the mindset of teenagers in this way. (1) "A god exists who created and ordered the world and watches over human life on earth." (2) "God wants people to be good, nice, and fair to each other, as taught in the Bible and by most world religions." (3) "The central goal of life is to be happy and to feel good about oneself." (4) "God does not need to be particularly involved in one’s life except when God is needed to resolve a problem." (5) "Good people go to heaven when they die.""
Real Shariah in America: Will Rauf Denounce These Fatwas?
Big Peace "Rauf’s continued failure to repudiate these odious Sharia-based rulings—extracted below—would be concordant with his ongoing refusal to denounce the jihad terrorism of Hamas, providing more evidence that he is indeed a traditional Sharia-supremacist who shares an Islamic societal vision incompatible with America’s founding ideals.Pictured: Katem Al-Hajj ,an Egyptian cleric ... forbidding US Muslims to work for the FBI or US security services because of the ostensible harm these institutions cause Muslims...
Cordoba Initiative's Antisemitic Tweets "Apparently Haaretz erroneously reported that Imam Rauf, Daisy Khan and the waiter Gamal had shown some mercy and would move the mosque. I never believed it for a second. They have yet to exhibit one scintilla of humanity. What is interesting is their recent tweets. Look at the last one. They couldn't help themselves: when a Jew is involved, their fangs come out. Islamic antisemitism." Pam Geller, Atlas Shrugs
