No Tolerance for Islamists

Here in the land of the free where religious tolerance is taken for granted, we have difficulty comprehending the cancer of Islamist practitioners. No, I don’t mean your moderate Muslim neighbor. He and his family are probably good people, but they are irrelevant to the survival of the world beset by the insanity of Islamists.

It is time for America to awaken to the reality of the threat. Go to “What Islam is Not” and view this video. Unless we recognize the threat and make substantive changes in our attitude, in time America will suffer the same fate occurring elsewhere. And, that attitudinal change does not mean electing members of the Democratic Party to national office.

Stopping a repeat of 9/11/01 or lesser level incidents did not just happen by itself. It took a determined Presidential leadership to make the decisions to put our best Americans in harm’s way on foreign soils and to begin the transformation of our domestic law enforcement.

The past Presidential election proves that Americans are asleep and/or have their collective heads inserted where the sun does not shine. We just elected a national leadership reminiscent of the Jimmy Carter Presidency. And, he gave the world the first Islamofascist theocracy since the fall of the one thousand year Caliphate and unleashed the cataclysmic Islamist cancer.

Unless there are major American attitudinal changes, the children and grandchildren of today’s voters will pay a price unimaginable to most Americans. You better wake up Americans! There is a world beyond Oprah, The View and sports, and it intends to convert you and your progeny to Islam or cut your throats. What do you think of blanket religious tolerance now?

Thanks POTUS 42-43

Over seven years since the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01 and the Homeland is still safe. That is quite an accomplishment. Thanks George W. Bush, you turned out to be a real leader; A leader with solid values and determination who remained un-swayed by the counsel of others with lesser values.

We worked to extend freedom and human liberty as the alternatives to tyranny and terror. No matter whether or not you agree with my decisions or not, one thing you have to agree with is that we have not been attacked in the last seven years. 1

This is a tribute to all who toil day and night to keep us safe, especially the men and women who wear our nation's uniform. 1

PA Police Abet Nudity Hysteria

Local police departments are mandated with enforcing the laws of their jurisdiction. But, common sense is supposed to be applied to ensure that the enforcement is consistent with both the letter and the intent of the law. That doesn’t always happen. Witness the arrest of teenagers on pornography charges in Pennsylvania.


GREENSBURG, Pa. -- Three teenage girls who allegedly sent nude or semi-nude cell phone pictures of themselves, and three male classmates in a Greensburg Salem High School who received them, are charged with child pornography. 1


Police said the girls are 14 or 15, and the boys charged with receiving the photos are 16 or 17. None are being identified because most criminal cases in Pennsylvania juvenile courts are not public. 1

Pornography and indecency are tough concepts, and it ultimately comes down to an interpretation of local community standards. In some parts of the country it is permissible for adults to sunbathe nude in a public park, or ride bicycles and participate in public runs in the nude. In other parts of the country, such an action causes the heavens to open with denunciations of wickedness from citizenry and elected officials alike. In either case, the local police enforce their concept of the law no matter how stupid the law.

The real problem is that a goodly portion of the U.S. public is sexually bonkers and perceives nudity as strictly sexual. Well, it might be, and it might not be.
"It was a self portrait taken of a juvenile female taking pictures of her body, nude," said Capt. George Seranko of the Greensburg Police Department. 1

"Taking nude pictures of yourself, nothing good can come out of it," said Seranko. 1

Now, there is an enlightened police official.

How bad can nudity really be when it’s acceptable to be used as an expression of a First Amendment right, which is consistently upheld by the courts?

Stigmatizing and persecuting these teenagers with child pornography charges is a form of child abuse in and of its self. The local police and the District Attorney are abetting the abuse if these cases go forward.

Child pornography? Give me a break. Better yet, give the kids a break!

Hillary Clinton Hated by the Mainstream Media

Hillary Clinton was the darling of the mainstream media until Barack Obama came along and spoiled her party. Was she really previously so loved by the press? I don’t think so. I think that she was simply the best choice at the time to derail the much hated Pres. George W. Bush and the Republican Party from maintaining the Presidency. Much has already been written about the press’ dissing of Hillary during the Presidential campaign. I suspect that the press corps despises her for her true character and that they have always done so.

Today, the Associated Press put out a piece showing that donors to Bill Clinton’s Clinton Foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative, were previously assisted by Sen. Hillary’s efforts.

WASHINGTON – Secretary of State appointee Hillary Rodham Clinton intervened at least six times in government issues directly affecting ompanies and others that later contributed to her husband's foundation, an Associated Press review of her official correspondence found. 1

The overlap of names on former President Bill Clinton's foundation donor list and business interests whose issues she championed raises new questions about potential ethics conflicts between her official actions and her husband's fundraising. The AP obtained three of the senator's government letters under the Freedom of Information Act.1

Are there any informed persons who don’t believe that the Clintons are condescending, self-serving people? Sure the press should be revealing corrupt practices of politicians, but this did not do it. How about showing that the Clintons gave preferential service to companies for an agreed upon subsequent donations?

The facts published by AP today do not support any wrong doing by Hillary, and their publication at the time of Hillary’s Secretary of State confirmation process is an unjustified attack. Bring us some evidence of corruption.

But heck, my request is too much to expect from the mainstream media with its left-wing broken moral compass. I suspect that the AP attack is simply a dig at Pres-elect Obama, who is not fulfilling the hopes of the left with his appointments.

Ayman al-Zawahiri Got One Thing Right

Zawahiri is upset with President Elect Obama for not coming to the defense of Hamas in the current dust-up with Israel. Zawahiri did properly characterize the U.S. mainstream media.

"This is Obama whom the American machine of lies tried to portray as the rescuer who will change the policy of America," al-Zawahiri said, according to SITE. "He kills your brothers and sisters in Gaza mercilessly and without affection." 1

Zawahiri is batting five hundred. He’s correct in the characterization of the “Ameircan machine of lies” but he strikes out when he pins responsibility on Obama for the killing in Gaza. Zawahiri is a little harsh on the guy who is not yet the President.

I wrote previously that the Islamofascists won’t like Obama because he renounced Islam. What Obama thinks of Islamofascists is unknown, like so many other topics.

On the Twelfth Day of Christmas

Two great gifts to the world: Judeo-Christian values; and the United States of America.

Day Twelve-“America is a nation that looks to God for guidance.”

Number 12 from “Twelve Great Reasons to Love a Great Country,” from The American Patriot’s Almanac, by William J. Bennett and John T.E. Cribb; Thomas Nelson, Inc., 2008

Increasingly, Americans are not looking to God for guidance. Moral relativism, the philosophy of the 1960’s, is a cancer eating at one of the two great gifts to the world, Judeo-Christian values. Many of our popular heroes reflect a rotting moral compass. As such, the Great Ship America is losing its rudder and yawing toward a ship wreck

This Face is All I Have

This Face is All I Have, Born and Lived In

This face is all I have, born and lived in


And the lines below my eyes are like old friends

This heart’s been beat-up

My rugged sole has things that are rough, and this face is all I have, born & lived in

The fairest they can fall for believin’

Something to achieve is peaceful feelin’

After all these tears are only truths

Your silver spoons can dig up my roots, and this face is all I have, born & lived in

Born & lived in, through the tides of time

Born & lived in

This face of mine I can believe in, the reflection on the wall

Who needs to be the fairest of them all?

I never looked like you, cool and streamline

I have this honesty that grows with time

When cracks appear they suit me fine

Like a good ol’ dog you won’t hear me whine, and this face is all I have, born & lived in

Born & lived in, through the tides of time

Born & lived in, this face of mineI can believe in, the reflection on the wall

Who needs to be the fairest of them all?

Sins and lies, they take the place of truth and answers

You can trade a glance and call it a second side

You can’t buy a sympathetic mirror

Honesties and answers you can’t buy

I can believe in, the reflection on the wall

Who needs to be the fairest of them all?

Well, you know, this face is all I have, born & lived in

And the lines below my eyes are like old friends

This ol’ heart’s been beat-up

My Rugged ol’ sole has things that are rough, and this face is all I have, born & lived in

This face is all I have, born & lived in

Born & lived in


Lyrics of “This Face” by Rod Marshall on his album “Nearly Willie.”
