Ron Paul: US-born al-Qaida cleric 'assassinated'

Anwar al-Awlaki

Associated Press  "Paul, a Texas congressman known for libertarian views, says the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki on Yemeni soil amounts to an "assassination." Paul warned the American people not to casually accept such violence against U.S. citizens, even those with strong ties to terrorism."

In a related story, the ACLU condemned the union forces of President Lincoln, Republican, for opening fire on the forces of General Pickett at Gettysburg. They should have waited for them to approach Union positions, arrested them and given them due process, which these American citizens were denied.


American Thinker: Al-Alwaki meets death from above   "I have no sympathy at all for Alwaki, and am glad the man is dead. But knowing that our president can order an American killed with no apparent checks and balances ought to give us all pause. We need to create a better legal framework for operations, one which respects our constitutional order, appropriate to the era of Islamic terror."

Did American forces kill any of these guys: Columnist recounts tale of German-Americans fighting for Nazis ?

From April, 2010:  Why Is It Legal to Kill Anwar al-Awlaki? "When I asked Karen Greenberg of NYU’s Center on Law and Security whether al-Awlaki could be lawfully assassinated last month, she scoffed, “They can’t do this with al-Awlaki. He is an American citizen, born in New Mexico. They can’t take away his citizenship.”  Soooo, we should have arrested him how?

Freedom of religion and of expression under attack by liberals

 Groups press Obama on religious hiring
 

The Moral Liberal  "The letter claims the executive order allows faith-based groups to discriminate against potential employees on the basis of religion and urges the administration to replace the policy with one that could force religious organizations contracting with the government to disregard their convictions when hiring."....

"As Jennifer Marshall and Joseph Loconte pointed out in a Heritage Foundation paper:

“There is no more vital protection for organizations with a religiously-rooted approach to social assistance than the freedom to hire according to their convictions. The leadership and staff of an organization determine its destiny. They alone will carry out its mission, uphold its priorities, and embody its deepest values. If the First Amendment guarantee of religious liberty does not protect the employment decisions of faith-based organizations - their right to free association - then it has become a meaningless abstraction.”



Levant

 Religious Leaders to the President: Don't Curtail Our Religious Hiring Freedom
"Activists are again pressing the Obama administration to curtail religious hiring by religious organizations that receive government funding."
 So far it doesn't affect the average church, but give 'em time. Liberals never sleep and they must always seek remedies for their guilt-ridden lives.

Religious Freedom in Canada:   Chris Kempling delivered this address on March 4, 2005 in New York City to a United Nations Commission on Human Rights Delegate Briefing. He received a standing ovation.

If Christians say publicly that they disapprove of homosexual behaviour because the Bible declares it to be immoral, then that is "promoting hatred". If they quote medical statistics about the HIV infection rates of homosexual men, that is "promoting hatred". If they object to their children being indoctrinated in kindergarten class with information about homosexuality, they are hateful people.

Suppression of free speech is further advanced in Canada. Watch Canada to see where America is headed under liberalism. Are we headed for Canadian-style star chambers?  See examples of star chambers in action:

Levant commented on his "favorable" result: (Emphasis fervently added)

His decision is not that I have freedom of speech. His decision is that I have his approval. I'm not interested in his approval. The only test of free speech is if I can write what he disapproves of with impunity.

Our White House Bully Problem

Michelle Malkin  "Team Obama continues to pressure and intimidate its critics."

...."A WFAA-TV Texas reporter was dressed down by the president for having the audacity to interrupt.
"The Boston Herald was spanked by the White House for running a front-page op-ed by GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
"The White House denied any pressure in all those cases, too.
"Before his campaign-finance-grubbing swing ended, Obama met the pop singer Lady Gaga. She lobbied him to combat bullying across America. It was a little like Red Riding Hood lobbying the Big Bad Wolf to promote vegetarianism."

• SEIU members gang up on black TEA Party protester (video below)

"It got very personal when two union supporters ganged up on the conservative, one of them calling him “uneducated” and another asking him if he has any children “that he claims”:

According to RedWhiteBlueNews.com, the woman in red was later asked what she meant by her comments about the man’s children. “She said the black conservative was such a ‘free spirit’ that she assumed he would possibly not own up to the responsibility of being a father,” the site says.
Just so you know, the man admitted on camera he was gay.
SEIU’s involvement in the protest is supported by a schedule on the union’s website that names Denver, CO as a rally site."

Obama lectures Europe about their debt...er, wait!...WHAT?

Spiegel Online : Obama's Euro-Crisis Lecture Is 'Pitiful and Sad'  "US President Obama has given the Europeans a harsh lecture on the dangers of their ongoing debt crisis. Offended by the unsolicited advice, Europeans have suggested the US get its own house in order first. Obama's remarks were "arrogant" and "absurd," German commentators say on Wednesday."

Jihad Deniers

Noisy Room  "The high priests who run the Church of Man Made Global Warming call anyone who doesn’t become disciples of the environmental whacko movement, “Deniers;” an attempt to discredit folks who don’t agree with a junk science whose main purpose has nothing to do with saving Mother Earth and everything to do with wealth redistribution. Scientists who don’t sign on to this massive hoax are, after all, “denied” federal grant money or “denied” publication in professional circles; hence the term “deniers” seems quite appropriate.

"Speaking of deniers…"

Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue's Joe Biden Moment

First it was a joke. Then it was hyperbole. Now it's sarcasm
""The next time they tell you how stupid Sarah Palin is or Michele Bachmann, just think back to this day and North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue," said Limbaugh, the conservative talk show host." (Emphasis in the original)

N.C. Gov. Beverly Perdue: Let's 'Suspend' Elections to Fix America

"I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that," Perdue said. "You want people who don't worry about the next election."

What was Bev Perdue thinking?

Bernie Goldberg: Trust in Media Low Due to Love Affair With Obama

Newsbusters  "With regard to the Christmas Day front page Post article, Goldberg neglected something even more indicative of media bias that day.

"As NewsBusters reported at the time, not only was that puff piece on the front page of the Post, the revelation about the Obama transition team's report on contacts with former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich was placed on page A3.

"Shameful."

Here are a few Obama magazine covers (right)

From MSNBC:  Obama magazine covers fly off newsstands

"...Barack Obama is the new golden child in the celebrity weekly world.

"Just hours after the elections, two of the most successful brands — People and Us Weekly — stocked newsstands with issues that featured the president-elect on the cover, while the competition went with more ordinary celebrity fare. According to early sales figures, People and Us made the right call."

 From Nov, 2008

Many, many more Obama magazine covers from

Iranian Pastor Faces Execution for Refusing to Recant Christian Faith

Legal Insurrection Quoting Fox News:

An Iranian pastor who has refused to renounce his Christian faith faces execution as early as Wednesday after his sentence was upheld by an Iranian court.
"Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, who maintains he has never been a Muslim as an adult, has Islamic ancestry and therefore must recant his faith in Jesus Christ, the 11th branch of Iran’s Gilan Provincial Court ruled. Iran’s Supreme Court had ordered the trial court to determine whether Nadarkhani had been a Muslim prior to converting to Christianity.

And from the comments to this post:

So sad for this Pastor and his family. Why aren’t those Muslims who tell us Islam is a tolerant religion, and say they are moderates, standing up and condemning this? Have I missed the outcry of support for this Pastor from the US Muslim community?

Related: Iran: Government Takes Child  "Security officers reportedly took the child as a way to pressure the Christian family and other Christian converts. Mohabat News reports that the security agents threatened the couple, saying, “If you want your child back, you must file a complaint against your fellow Christians in prison.” "

California Education Becomes Indoctrination



Google Image

The Trumpet  "The bill requires all public schools to incorporate into their social studies program the achievements and contributions of homosexuals, lesbians and transvestites to society. Proposed by Democrat Sen. Mark Leno, SB 48 was victorious with a 23-14 vote in the State of California senate and a 49-25 vote in the Assembly.

"“Current California law already mandates that schools teach about Mexican Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, American Indians, entrepreneurs, labor and women. This bill now adds gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people, as well as those with disabilities, to the list of groups that must be included in history lessons” "  The 49-25 margin and the 23-14 margin shows you how entrenched the left is in California and that this is indeed the voice of the California people who voted them into office. 

The Pro-48 site Equality California
More here:   “The FAIR Education Act enables all California students to learn an honest account of history, which includes the contributions of women, people of color, LGBT people, people with disabilities, and other historically underrepresented groups,” said Gay-Straight Alliance Network Executive Director Carolyn Laub. “This coalition is determined to protect the FAIR Education Act and stop the extremist effort to censor LGBT people and people with disabilities from history.”
The entire state has become San Francisco. Lets hope the movement doesn't cross borders.

Repeal Prop. 48

Neutrality Not Good Enough for Gay Activists–Only Promotion Will Do  "Today, activist groups, including the National Center for Lesbian Rights, announced they filed a lawsuit against the Anoka-Hennepin School District in Minnesota. Among other things, they are demanding that the school repeal a curriculum policy directing educators to remain neutral on controversial sexual topics in the classroom."

What happens when SB 48 becomes law.  ...."4. Teachers will be made to positively portray homosexuality, same-sex "marriages," bisexuality, and transsexuality, because to be silent can bring the charge of "reflecting adversely" or "promoting a discriminatory bias." "

Because of bad laws, lack of pro-family laws, and politically-correct trends, here's what kids are guaranteed to receive in California public schools:

Here is where Prop 48 advocates can go to discuss their ideas, if you care to know.

 I visited the school of my childhood this summer and a rush of pleasant memories flooded my mind.  But then the realization came that this was no longer that school; it had become a re-education and indoctrination center advocating ideas that nearly all of the population once saw as immoral and reprehensible.  All things we had known to be wrong had become acceptable -even mandatory-and what had been good was now evil.
What a terrible loss our society has suffered.  TD

Hey, Truthers! Al Qaeda To Ahmadinejad: Stop Saying We Didn’t Do 9/11, You’re Just ‘Jealous’

Yeshiva World News  "In the latest issue of its English-language magazine, Inspire, Al Qaeda lit into Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s repeated statements that 9/11 was the work of the American government.
"“Al Qaeda … succeeded in what Iran couldn’t,” wrote an author named Abu Suhail, the Jerusalem Post reported. “Therefore it was necessary for the Iranians to discredit 9/11 and what better way to do so? Conspiracy theories.”"

Would somebody please forward this on to Rosie O'Donnell and her fellow"truthers"  for me?

Six Ways to Fix These Painfully Embarrassing GOP Primary Debates

Pajamas Media   "This really needs to be the last electoral cycle where MSM leftists receive such a perfect perch to land their cheap shots."....
"In addition to “gotcha” questions posed by media personalities evidently seeking to embarrass the speakers, of whom far too many have been on stage at the same time, and to invite them to trip over their shoelaces while making the media personalities look cool, there are other, related problems."....
"The current candidate “debates” are neither of manageable scope nor do they offer the viable candidates adequate opportunities to prepare and then to make their positions on specific topics both clearly understood and difficult to distort. If they are to become meaningful in the candidate selection process,
substantial changes are needed." (Excerpt below)

Today, the questions fall into two main categories.
  The first is gotcha queries that seek to trip up the victim with some past inconsistencies or try to force an admission that he really has no chance, as happened back in August when Fox’s Chris Wallace asked Newt Gingrich about his troubled campaign.
  The second is just plain-stupid questions. In New Hampshire, CNN’s John King asked former Sen. Rick Santorum whether he preferred Jay Leno to Conan O’Brien (answer: neither) and grilled Herman Cain about how he likes his pizza (deep dish). The idea was to show the candidates’ human side, but the result was to display the frivolousness of the moderator.

If Obama loses, no one can blame the liberal media.  "One place that Democratic contenders go for positive publicity is the network morning shows. Their audiences are diminished, but they remain a powerful national platform, especially for female voters. Rich Noyes and Geoff Dickens of the Media Research Center have demonstrated how ABC, CBS, and NBC set a pretty pleasant table for the Democratic candidates (and potential candidates like Al Gore) from January 1 through July 31, 2007."
