TYRANNY! PELOSI STYLE

Neal Boortz "It's well past time to put down the People magazines, turn off Inside Edition, forget Snookie, put the sports section aside for later ... and start paying attention to what is happening to us!"....
"The very idea that this hideous woman would call for an investigation of people, like the 911 Families, who oppose this Islamic monument to terror should be enough to turn every decent American into a fuming zealot dedicated to removing her from office. Unfortunately her constituency consists of tired old hippies, dedicated anti-capitalists and elitist footstools who are so impressed with their own liberalism that they've lost touch with anything resembling reality long, long ago."

Why it is better to run as a Democrat

American Thinker "As long you are a Democrat, you are good to go. However, if you are a Republican, the odds are that media reports will endlessly be against you, while your colleagues jump atop of each other to push you under the bus. "
 In televised debates, Democrats will be asked to share their wisdom from on high; Republicans will be grilled as suspects.

The Age of Entitlements Must End

Heritage "The Heritage Foundation’s Solutions for America chapter on The Entitlement Crisis recommends:"....
"President Obama told his supporters in Columbus yesterday that Social Security only needs “some modest adjustments in order to strengthen it.” It is exactly this type of head-in-the-sand denialism that has caused the vast majority of Americans to believe that our nation is “pretty seriously off on the wrong track.” Ending this country’s entitlement mentality is not just an economic challenge, but a moral one. It is simply wrong to make unsustainable promises to today’s adults by shackling our children and grandchildren with crippling debt or heavy taxes."

Radical Islam's conquest of America (Updated)

Washington Times "It is not coincidental that the mosque's name, Cordoba House, takes after the city in southern Spain that marked one of radical Islam's greatest conquests in Europe during the Middle Ages. Cordoba was a major center in the global caliphate being erected by the rampaging Islamists of the time - the very caliphate that Osama bin Laden and his allies seek to restore. A giant mosque was built upon the ruins of a Catholic church. For Islamists, erecting mosques on defeated territories is a sign of subjugation - the submission of infidels to Allah's rule."

One more reason (as if you needed it) to oppose Ground Zero mosque "The New York Post is reporting that Iran may help fund the mosque overlooking Ground Zero:"...Rick Moran

MORE ON THE MOSQUE OUTRAGE "While you may be a voter who votes in November solely based on a politician's stance on the mosque in NYC, don't forget that these people will have a direct affect on other aspects of your life. Make sure you know who you are putting into office in November. Look what happened last time we had people voting based on slogans and single issues ...." Neal Boortz.


The Cynical Brilliance of Imam Rauf "To the radical Islamists, a mosque rising near Ground Zero well before a new World Trade Center is constructed is a message of Islamic triumphalism — in the long tradition of minarets on the conquered Santa Sophia in Istanbul, the eighth-century Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem rising on the site of the destroyed Jewish Second Temple, and the great mosque at Cordoba retrofitted from the gutted Christian Church of St. Vincent. Again, there are thousands of sites in New York where another mosque could be built; but without the Ground Zero resonance, the irony would be lost." Victor Davis Hanson

Please, No More Teachable Moments

Victor Davis Hanson "We have learned that President Obama has a bad habit of impugning the motives of those with whom he disagrees. In the Gates case, he rushed to condemn Crowley and the police. Arizonans were not to be seen as desperate citizens trying to enforce federal law, but instead derided as bigots who harass minorities when they go out to get ice cream. And in the mosque case, the president disingenuously implied that opponents of a Ground Zero mosque wanted to deny the legal right of Muslims to build religious centers."....
"Obama has spent most of his life around academics, lawyers, journalists and organizers. That insular culture tends to pontificate and lecture others far more than do action-oriented business people, soldiers, doctors and farmers -- the doers who are few and far between in this administration."

Obama Enters Another Controversy  "It is becoming apparent for all to see that a man who has made his name as a community organizer does not have the skills to be president of these United States."...."... It is above the pay grade of a community organizer. That is what our president is. Increasingly, it is clear that the Democrats brought down on the country a community organizer as president. Maybe in the future, they will consider experience a qualification for the presidency. Possibly the age of charisma is behind us. Possibly Obama even lacks that dubious quality." Emmett Tyrrell.

Look Who's 'Nativist' Now!

Ann Coulter  "...I think we should look at other countries' laws, then adopt the good ones and pass on the bad ones. For example, let's skip clitorectomies, arranged marriages, dropping walls on homosexuals, honor killings and the rest of the gorgeous tapestry of multiculturalism.
"Instead, how about we adopt foreign concepts such as disallowing frivolous lawsuits, having loser-pays tort laws, and requiring that both parents be in the U.S. legally and at least one parent be a citizen, for a child born here to get automatic citizenship?"

Thomas Sowell: Dismantling America: Part III

Townhall "One of the few campaign promises that Barack Obama has kept was this: "We are going to change the United States of America!" "....
"But the most dangerous and most lasting damage that this administration has done to this nation has been in the international jungle, where it is alienating our long-time allies, dismantling our credibility by reneging on our commitments to putting up a missile shield in Eastern Europe and-- above all-- doing nothing meaningful to stop the leading terror-sponsoring nation in the world, Iran, from getting nuclear weapons."

A Patriotic Muslim’s Warning on Ground Zero Mosque

Pajamas Media "The project threatens to send a message of weakness to Islamists the world over, warns Dr. Zuhdi Jasser in an exclusive interview with PJM."

A Little of a Bad Thing Doesn't Make It Good

Heritage "Why are global-warming bills and similar measures so unpopular? Because they cost so much and help so little. The Center for Data Analysis at The Heritage Foundation found that the aggregate lost national income (GDP) from the Waxman-Markey bill would be more than $9 trillion for just the first two dozen years of a 40-year program. That adds up to thousands of dollars per year per family -- and leads to energy price increases of 50 percent to 90 percent."

Democratic Leadership?

Victor Davis Hanson  "Note how all this wealth was made: John Edwards made it summarizing personal-injury cases against doctors; Al Gore by hyping a global-warming Armageddon and then offering psychological and concrete ameliorations for it; John Kerry by marrying someone who had married someone who had inherited it. This suggests that some of the most influential of the rich Democratic elite don’t have much experience with the role of low taxes or less regulation in fostering profitable, capital-creating enterprises."

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" "
Neal Boortz.

Dunn acts as Obama attack dog on mosque, says GOP ’solidifying its reputation for intolerance’
"Coming from Dunn — who is no longer works for the Obama administration but still goes to the White House for regular message meetings — the attacks on the GOP could be viewed as having been coordinated with top advisers to the president such as David Axelrod and Dan Pfeiffer, her former deputy who now runs Obama’s communications shop."

MSNBC Host Norah O’Donnell: Those Who Oppose Ground Zero Mosque are “Acting Like the 9/11 Terrorists Who Killed 3,000 People”…
"What are these people getting out of all this????? there has got to be a big payoff for everyone in the liberal circle to be this anti American ?" From the comments section.

How Should We Understand the Al-Arabiya Editor? "Is this the beginning of a courageous voice of reason within the Muslim world? Or, is it a way of distracting Americans from the issue and keeping Islamic advancement under wraps? Time will tell."

Nancy Pelosi calls for investigation into opponents of Ground Zero Mosque "On Planet Pelosi, the only way a political movement happens is with funding and direction from above -- as in the case of the vast network of Soros-funded organizations, and the Axelrod-sponsored Astroturf groups. The concept that ordinary people stand up and protest because of their convictions is alien to her." Pelosi Calls for Investigation of Mosque Opposition "In an interview with KCBS radio, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) yesterday called for a congressional investigation into opposition to the Cordoba House:"...

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."

The Beginning of the End of the Ground Zero Mosque  Quoting Abdul Rahman Al-Rashid, director of Al-Arabiya TV 
"...I do not think that the majority of Muslims want to build a symbol or a worship place that tomorrow might become a place about which the terrorists and their Muslim followers boast, and which will become a shrine for Islam haters whose aim is to turn the public opinion against Islam.”
