"I am Charlie"

Above is the logo for Charlie Hebdo, the French publication that was attacked today in Paris. At least 12 people are dead including the editor and two police officers.  I have just placed this logo on my Fousesquawk home page. I call on all like-minded blogs to do the same in honor of the victims of this barbaric attack.

Charlie's homepage has this logo in multiple languages aside from French. Choose your language. It does not matter. What matters is that we send a message that free speech did not die today in Paris.

Are These The Last Days Of Great Britain?

For centuries the nation of Great Britain prided itself on being a "Christian Nation".  A nation who has followed the Christian Faith since 600 AD.  The nation went through Reformation, Reversion back to Catholicism, Revolution, Restoration, but the Christian faith remained with the people.  Even today the majority of people profess to be Christian.  Yet under the government, Islam has more rights, more power than any other group.  Attacks on Jews have increased.  Attacks on Christians have risen.  Defamation of Islam is criminalized.  One cannot speak out against Muhammad (MHBIH), Allah, Islam, The Koran, etc... you will jailed.  Oh no?  Read this:

The 53 protesters, which also reportedly included a member of the group's executive, were arrested on motorways on the outskirts of the capital.

Dozens of officers in riot vans intervened before the members of the far right group reached the capital on Saturday afternoon for the surprise protest outside a mosque in Whitechapel, east London.

Scotland Yard said they were held following an “an intelligence-led, pre-event investigation into a planned disturbance in east London on the same day”.

They were stopped on the M25 motorway at J14, near Heathrow and J16, in Uxbridge, west London as well as the M3 at J3, near Bagshot, Surrey.

The Metropolitan Police said all 53 protesters were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to cause public nuisance but declined to confirm their intended location.

Paul Weston Arrested Outside Wormwood Scrubs

By George Whale, 21:20 Monday

I have just received an urgent telephone call from British Freedom leader Paul Weston who has been arrested outside Wormwood Scrubs Prison*.

Speaking from the back of a police van being driven to an unknown destination, Paul hurriedly informed me that he and a friend had travelled to the prison in West London this evening with the aim of visiting Tommy Robinson, or at least assuring themselves of his well-being.

Speaking through a glass panel they had asked officers at the prison to confirm that Tommy was being held there, but they refused to provide this information, citing the ‘Data Protection Act’. Paul and his friend again demanded to know where Tommy was being held, and at that point both were charged with breach of the peace, arrested and bundled into the police van.

Our conversation was cut off with Paul loudly remonstrating to an unidentified individual, “take your hands off me!”

We will update you on the situation as it unfolds.

The English Defense League has never been violent at a rally. In fact they are extremely non-violent, but are the one arrested for inciting violence in Muslims Asians.  I suppose that Muslims Asians are not able to control themselves.  They are too immature, too childish and must be allowed to express themselves with rocks and sticks.  That is Multiculturalism for you.  Infantile Muslims so you can cave in to every demand they have.  Why stop?  It is easier to do than to demand that Muslims obey the laws of the land.

There is a group that demand that Multiculturalism end.  They are the British Freedom Party and their 20 point plan.

1. Introduce a US style First Amendment guaranteeing Free Speech.
2. Leave the profoundly undemocratic European Union.
3. Abolish the Human Rights Act, which benefits only foreign criminals/ terrorists.
4. Halt any further immigration for a period of five years.
5. Deport foreign criminals, seditious dual nationality Islamists and illegal immigrants.
6. Abolish all multicultural and equality quangos.
7. Halt and turn back all aspects of the Islamisation of Britain, including Sharia finance.
8. Drastically reduce crime – criminals should fear the consequences of their behaviour.
9. Repair the damage wreaked by the progressive educational establishment.
10. Promote British values and assimilation, rather than multiculturalism and division.
11. Rebuild Britain’s Armed Forces to 1980 levels.
12. Diminish the public sector and government interference in the private sector.
13. Withdraw troops from all areas where we are not directly threatened.
14. Cancel foreign aid to countries which do not deserve or need it.
15. End welfare payments to immigrants; they must pay for their housing and children.
16. Ensure no elderly person lives in fear, and can afford both heat and food in the winter.
17. Abolish destructive Political Correctness, promote Common Sense.
18. Promote morality, marriage, the family, the community and the nation state.
19. Allow pubs the freedom of operating as smoking or non-smoking establishments.
20. Live by Christianity’s Golden Rule: “Do unto others as thou wouldst be done by.”

Paul Ray

Outside of the United State there is no nation on Earth that has the guarantee of Free Speech.  It is up to the Government ts allow what speech it will permit.  This is unacceptable in any nation, but especially in nations that claim that they allow Free Speech.  Can any of us forget the trials and tribulations of Paul Ray aka Lionheart?

Tommy Robinson has been arrested on trumped up charges of entering the United States on a fraudulent passport.  A charge that is suppose to send him back to the United States and a long US prison term.  Until then the British have sentenced him to death by placing Mr. Robinson in the Muslim wing of the prison and given a Muslim cellmate.  Pray for his safety.

Our State Department is in collusion with the British government on this.  The expression of Free Speech is to be denied to NATIVE Brits.   But NATIVE Europeans are to be denied rights under Obama's and the left's New World Order.

If they can win, Britain is lost without a Civil War.  Pray for them.

Pat Condell On The Religion Of Permanent Offense

A word to rioting Muslims 



We don't care if you're offended, and we never will. Get used to it.

To Anger The Muslims

In order to bring home the point about Freedom of Speech I submit the following images to infuriate Muslims world wide.

My friend Norman adds this to the argument.   We need to add our voices to protect our freedoms.

Pass these images around.  Let the Muslim Outrage begin!

Latest Muslim Outrage

Just off the "outrage" over the film Innocence of Muslims, the Religion of PeaceReligion of Intolerance is now rioting over an offensive photograph on Facebook.

Extremist Muslim rioters torched Buddhist communities in southeastern Bangladesh Sunday over an “offensive” photo on Facebook.

The rioting was ignited over a photo uploaded to the social networking site by a Buddhist man from the area that allegedly defamed the Qur'an, according to district administrator Joinul Bari.

Some 25,000 Muslims stormed a Buddhist hamlet in Ramu, torching centuries-old temples.

Once ablaze, the mob swept into villages outside the town, chanting “Allah is Great!,” leaving a trail of devastating in its wake. One witness told a reporter that 11 wooden temples were looted and destroyed, including two that were 300 years old. Shops were similarly attacked. In all, 15 Buddhist villages were attacked, and more than 100 homes were looted and damaged.

Buddhists comprise less than one percent of the population in 90-percent Muslim Bangladesh, where the rest of the populace is Hindu. Most Buddhists live close to the border near the Buddhist-majority nation of Myanmar. Public gatherings have been banned to prevent further violence, Bari told reporters.

Extremist Muslim violence worldwide resulted in some 40 deaths barely a month ago when an obscure, amateur anti-Islam video produced in the United States raised the ire of followers after a trailer of the film was translated into Arabic and posted to the Internet. The trailer, which was broadcast on Egyptian television, led to worldwide violence. It was also used as the excuse for an Al Qaeda-linked terror attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya that left a U.S. Ambassador and three American diplomats dead.

There is no end to Muslim outrage.  In fact this is a deliberately orchestrated action to force the West to remove their right of Free Speech.

There is only one outcome that can be done to stop these riots.  More pictures, more movies, more outrage.  Let these idiots riot all they want.  Our freedoms are too important to give up.  Let us offend these left overs from the Stone Age every day, hundreds of times a day.

An Open Letter from the Israeli Ambassador to UC-Irvine Students

A very special Hat Tip to Fousesquawk

On March 8, 2010 Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, attempted to open up dialog on the Middle East.  Needless to say such a dialog was made impossible that evening by members of the Muslim Students Union and other children's groups.  It is a shame that in this day and age a handful of ignorant fools can dictate what speech is permitted on US campuses and what speech is not permitted.

Needless to say while the anti-Semites and their supporters attempted to destroy the evening as the video shows:



It was not totally successful.

Dr. Oren has written to the students and faculty of UC Irvine and open letter explaning his positition and calling for an open dialog with the students.  He is willing to return to the campus of the school to do so.

March 8, 2010

An Open Letter to the students of UC Irvine from Dr. Michael Oren, Israel’s Ambassador to the United States

"Several weeks ago, I was invited to your university to provide my perspective on the Middle East peace process, the question of Iranian nuclearization and U.S.-Israel relations. Prior to assuming the role of ambassador I taught at several American universities – Harvard, Yale and Georgetown – and greatly enjoyed interacting with the students. For this reason, I chose to visit a number of campuses during my first diplomatic trip to California. I know that today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders and believe keenly in the need to provide these future statesmen with an Israeli perspective of Middle Eastern affairs.

I was fully aware that the climate on many American campuses is critical and sometimes even hostile to Israel, and that the University of California, Irvine could arouse debate. Yet for precisely that reason, I wanted to speak at UCI. While it would have been far easier to engage students who agreed with Israel’s policies, I much preferred an exchange with students of opposing viewpoints. I came not just to lecture, but to listen and to learn.

Unfortunately, my remarks were repeatedly interrupted by a group of students that declined my invitation to dialogue and instead assaulted me with cries of “war criminal” and “murderer.” Repeated urgings by Chancellor Michael Drake and Professor Mark Petracca for civility and respect for the freedom of speech went ignored. University administrators were finally forced to arrest a number of the hecklers, and I was able to finish my speech. The remaining rabble-rousers stormed out to the applause of the many other students and community members who had come to hear me out. But I did not applaud. Rather, I was saddened by the loss of this opportunity to exchange ideas with those who disagreed with me and, at the very least, to introduce them to different perspectives.

Since then, videos of the incident at Irvine have proliferated on the Internet and attracted significant media attention. I have received heartfelt apologies from UC President Mark Yudof and Chancellor Drake. The response has been overwhelmingly favorable in defense of my right to free expression on campus and the students’ right to hear those remarks.

Still, I am not satisfied. I came to UCI for the opportunity to exchange ideas — a reasonable intention that was hijacked by a minority of students. The disruptive measures exhibited by these students only underscore the importance for dialogue, especially on the frontline of higher learning. The tragic fallout from this lecture is that those impassioned individuals most needing exposure to the Israeli perspective — and also needing to address their concerns in an appropriate manner — chose not to listen but rather to disrupt the event. Their methods, though championed by some, undermine the democratic principles on which the university system rests.

I have not given up hope on Irvine. I would willingly return to your campus and meet with those individuals whose views may not agree with mine as long as we respect the decorum of dialogue and free speech. Middle East issues are not devoid of emotion or nuance. Only with respect and sensitivity from all sides can we attain the conditions necessary to tackle one of the great issues of our time and realize the vision of peace."

If those who support the Palestinian cause truly want peace and not just use such an idea to promote anti-Semitism, then they will extend their hand to Dr. Oren and open up a dialog.  But if all they are is a smoke screen for their hatred and bigotry, then no matter what Dr. Oren or any one says to these groups will be of no use.  For in their minds they know everything, there is no room for compromise, and no place in this world for any opinion other than their own.

It is up to UC Irvine to make the next move.

In Defense Of Free Speech!

A man is on trial in Amsterdam.  His crime:  Making a film.  No it isn't pornographic, that is not the issue, it is a short film on Islam.  Now he is charged with defaming the religion of Islam.  In other words:  BLASPHEMY!  Yet there hasn't been a blasphemy trial in years, in fat the blasphemy law was repealed in 2008.

For what did this man say against the State Religion that would warrant such a claim?  Nothing.  Islam is not the State Religion of the Netherlands (at least not yet).  Yet he is on trial for it, never the less.

This made a short film showing where in Islam and the Koran a Muslim is commanded by the faith to conduct Jihad (Holy War).  Using passages from the Koran and images from terror attacks, Fitna (the title of the film) struck a sour note in Muslims and their liberal allies.

Fitna Part 1





Fitna Part 2



Is the film hateful?  Who knows.  Does it defame Islam?  By using the words of the Koran and the speaches of Islamic teachers, Imams, and average people the film shows these people to be the real haters.

But that is not the point.

The point is that every person has the right to speak out on their opinion.  Regardless if it offends someone or not.  There are very few cases in which one is not free to speak what the person wants to.  Such as crying out "FIRE!" in a crowded movie theater when there is no fire.  Or the use of profanity on the television. The first case is for the protection of people (imagine the panic to get out of the theater), the second one is dictated by public policy that profanity is not an acceptable form of expression.

Let the world be clear on this.  There is no limits on political speech.  If the speech isn't true, the lies will come to light, or the liar will be sued in civil court for slander.  That is the law here in the United States.  Political Speech is so important that the Supreme Court has rules in many cases this is so.  On such case was:

NATIONAL SOCIALIST PARTY v. SKOKIE, 432 U.S. 43 (1977)

In which the Supreme Court upheld the lower court's decision that:

Even the most hateful and harmful speech is protected speech.

And yet, there are still some idiots who would repeal the 1st Amendment in order to limit the verbal attacks on the President.

Just watch.


Mark Dice Finds Out If Americans will sign a petition to repeal the First Amendment



Free Speech is too important to lose just like that.

The trial of Geert Wilders should be stopped immediately with apologies given to Mr. Wilders, his supporters, and the Dutch people for the waste of taxpayer money in this perverse kangaroo court.  The verdict has already been decided by the political opponents of Mr. Wilders and The People's Party for Freedom and Democracy.  These men and women fear that if Mr. Wilders isn't stopped, he just might become the next Prime Minister of the Netherlands and reverse many of the laws that has turned a once proud nation into a Welfare State.

Geert Wilders has established a website Wilders On Trial.  There one can discover up to date information on this trial

ON A PERSONAL NOTE:

Mine is a small and insignificant voice in the large wilderness of the internet.  Though not many people read this blog, I do hope that those of you who do read this, repeat the message of this post to each person you meet:

There are and never should be ANY limitations to Free Speech!
Not now, not ever!

First Amendment

Wake up, America



View at YouTube

I find myself amazed at the poor quality of education that $41,500 a year buys at Harvard Law School. You would think that for that amount of money they would at least teach the US Constitution. But it seems not to be the case, especially with one of their most famous graduates, Barack Hussein Obama, our current President.

I wonder what part of the First Amendment they did teach him or was he absent that day? For no person who has been taught the US Constitution would ever forget the words of the First Amendment:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Yet President Obama has chosen to ignore this and is pushing for full restrictions on our right to Free Speech:

The U.N. Human Rights Council approved a U.S.-backed resolution Friday deploring attacks on religions while insisting that freedom of expression remains a basic right.

The inaugural resolution sponsored by the U.S. since it joined the council in June broke a long-running deadlock between Western and Islamic countries in the wake of the publication of cartoons depicting the Muslim Prophet Muhammad.

American diplomats say the measure — co-sponsored by Egypt — is part of the Obama administration's effort to reach out to Muslim countries.

"The exercise of the right to freedom of opinion and expression is one of the essential foundations of a democratic society," the resolution states, urging countries to protect free speech by lifting legal restrictions, ensuring the safety of journalists, promoting literacy and preventing media concentration.

Not the sort of "outreach" the majority of Americans want. We like our Freedoms very much. Free speech is a protected right here in the US. Our own Supreme Court has affirmed the concept that "Even the most hateful and harmful speech is protected speech." (NATIONAL SOCIALIST PARTY v. SKOKIE, 432 U.S. 43 [1977])

Oh yes, we can say what we want about a religion without the fear of blasphemy laws. Oh happy day!

Mr. Condell need not worry about the United States losing our Freedoms soon. Not as long as Article VI of the Constitution is the law:

"This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

Or in layman speak:

"This Constitution will be the hightest law in the land. No law or treaty can be written or ratified that would violate this Constitution."

This whole idea of forcing Islamic blasphemy laws came about because of the riots over the Danish Muhammad Cartoons, it is only fitting that this post on Free Speech end with these cartoons.

To Muslims around the world:

Feel free to riot. For that shows to us the true face and spirit of Islam. A backward cult suitable only for children and those with the intelligence of an imbecile.

The rest of us will just laugh at your ignorance and keep on speaking our mind!

A First Amendment Hero!

Professor Indrek Wichman

He looks mild-mannered, not a man who would stand up to bullies and force them to back down. But Professor Indrek Wichman of Michagan State University, has become a Hero.

Now what would force this Professor of Mechanical Engineering to stand up for the First Amendment? Nothing less than a planned protest by the MSU chapter of the Muslim Students Union (MSU)

Members of the Muslim Student Association (MSA) at Michigan State University (MSU) didn’t know what they were getting into when they tried to suppress the free speech rights of Professor Indrek Wichman. On February 28, 2006 he read in the MSU student newspaper a call to protest the publication of the Muhammad cartoons. The article struck a raw nerve. He responded with the following:

Dear Moslem Association:

As a professor of Mechanical Engineering here at MSU I intend to protest your protest. I am offended not by cartoons, but by more mundane things like beheadings of civilians, cowardly attacks on public buildings, suicide murders, murders of Catholic priests (the latest in Turkey!), burnings of Christian churches, the continued persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt, the imposition of Sharia law on non-Muslims, the rapes of Scandinavian girls and women (called "whores" in your culture), the murder of film directors in Holland, and the rioting and looting in Paris France.

This is what offends me, a soft-spoken person and academic, and many, many, many of my colleagues. I counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal, and uncivilized slave-trading Moslems to be very aware of this as you proceed with your infantile "protests."

If you do not like the values of the West--see the 1st Amendment--you are free to leave. I hope for God's sake that most of you choose that option. Please return to your ancestral homelands and build them up yourselves instead of troubling Americans.

Cordially,

I. S. Wichman, Professor of Mechanical Engineering.

Some may say this reaction was a tad over-heated. But in a university environment, the more important question is: Were the statements accurate? It’s tough to argue with the validity of Professor Wichman’s factual assertions. And even tougher to demand that Wichman remain morally neutral regarding the examples of Muslim misconduct he cites.

For over three weeks Professor Wichman heard nothing about his email. But behind the scenes, the MSA had called in CAIR and had three separate meetings with the MSU provost. The MSA and CAIR both demanded that Wichman be censured, disciplined, enrolled in diversity and sensitivity training, and even “re-educated” on Islam.

To his credit, the MSU Provost did not cave in to the CAIR/MSA demands. On March 20, 2006 he wrote Wichman a letter saying that he strongly disagreed with the “intemperate tone” of his email. But he added that Wichman still had rights to free speech. From there, things got worse.

The MSU Provost told Wichman that if he continued to “harass” and “intimidate” the MSU MSA - while creating a “hostile intellectual climate” - then formal charges consistent with MSU anti-discrimination policy (ADP) would be filed by MSU against him. (emphasis mine)

On April 24, 2006 Wichman realized that the issue had not quietly gone away. He began receiving telephone calls and emails from local newspapers, AP, Reuters and other national and international outlets. CAIR and MSA, frustrated by the MSU Provost, had gone over his head and published a response, organized a press conference, and made a national/international press release.

CAIR and MSA’s public call upon MSU to take “disciplinary action" against Wichman’s “Islamophobic” email was a classic example of Muslim cowardice. Michigan’s CAIR Executive Director Mr. Dawud Walid said it was “unconscionable for a professor to use his university e-mail account to foster a hostile learning environment for Muslim students.” He added, “The University needs to take appropriate disciplinary action in this case to demonstrate through its actions that anti-Muslim bigotry will not be tolerated on campus.”

It should be noted that Mr. Walid has gone to court to argue for applying Sharia law in mid-Michigan. That serves to undercut significantly his stature as an opponent of bigotry towards minorities.

I sat down for a beer - I believe it was a Danish beer – with Indrek Wichman in April. When he said he meant to “protest the protest” of the MSA he really meant it. He helped form a conservative faculty group at MSU. The group serves to protest speech codes, invite conservative speakers to campus, and represent students and faculty whose rights are trampled by the MSU administration.

Indrek Wichman is not your typical college professor. He is a true First Amendment hero.

Meanwhile, Dawud Walid is still fighting to repeal the First Amendment and keep Muslims from being offended. He wants to replace it with Sharia law so Muslims can freely beat their wives and publicly execute homosexuals.

How is it that Muslims can say the most hurtful, racially insensitive, anti-Semitic rhetoric on US campuses without the administrations of those schools saying a word no, yet one lone professor on a campus writes an e-mail in protest of the barbaric practices of Islam, he is vilified and crucified? The behavior of the MSU in regards to Free Speech and other rights is well documented on the net. One just has to read Fousesquawk by blogger Gary Fouse to see what is happening at UC Irvine.

And it is happening at every college and university in the US.

What the MSU & CAIR are trying to do is first to stiffle free speech, then to impose Shar'ia Law on the US. Their counterparts have been very successful in doing this in Europe and Great Britain. But unlike those lost lands, the US has the Free exercise of Speech firmly written into the US Constitution. And there are plenty of court cases backing the right of Free Speech.

Slowly, on campuses, faculity are speaking out against the MSU. They are challenging their claims, and forcing the 1st Amendment down their throats.

I wonder what has taken them so long.

Why People Are Upset With The Health Care Bill.

I find it ironic and a bit strange that in the Land of the Free, elected officials would be using strong arm tactics to silence dissent. Instead of inquiring why their constituents are upset with HR 3200, and listening to their concerns, they are employing hired goons (union workers and members of ACORN) to stifle dissenting opinions. These goons are not registered in their districts, thus are not their constituents.

There are valid points that the "Angry Mob" as Speaker Pelosi and other members of the Democratic leadership calls them. Points they refuse to listen to.

Here are just a few of the points of contention in HR 3200 that has angered so many: (Just a listing of less then 1/2 of the 1,017 pages of the bill.)

Page 16: States that if you have insurance at the time of the bill becoming law and change, you will be required to take a similar plan. If that is not available, you will be required to take the government option!

Page 22: Mandates audits of all employers that self-insure!

Page 29: Admission: your health care will be rationed!

Page 30: A government committee will decide what treatments and benefits you get (and, unlike an insurer, there will be no appeals process)

Page 42: The "Health Choices Commissioner" will decide health benefits for you. You will have no choice. None.

Page 50: All non-US citizens, illegal or not, will be provided with free healthcare services.

Page 58: Every person will be issued a National ID Healthcard.

Page 59: The federal government will have direct, real-time access to all individual bank accounts for electronic funds transfer.

Page 65: Taxpayers will subsidize all union retiree and community organizer health plans (example: SEIU, UAW and ACORN)

Page 72: All private health care plans must conform to government rules to participate in a Health care Exchange.

Page 84: All private health care plans must participate in the Health care Exchange (i.e., total government control of private plans)

Page 91: Government mandates linguistic infrastructure for services; translation: illegal aliens.

Page 95: The Government will pay ACORN and Americorps to sign up individuals for Government-run Health Care plan.

Page 102: Those eligible for Medicaid will be automatically enrolled: you have no choice in the matter.

Page 124: No company can sue the government for price-fixing. No "judicial review" is permitted against the government monopoly. Put simply, private insurers will be crushed.

Page 127: The AMA sold doctors out: the government will set wages.

Page 145: An employer MUST auto-enroll employees into the government-run public plan. No alternatives.

Page 126: Employers MUST pay health care bills for part-time employees AND their families.

Page 149: Any employer with a payroll of $400K or more, who does not offer the public option, pays an 8% tax on payroll.

Page 150: Any employer with a payroll of $250K-400K or more, who does not offer the public option, pays a 2 to 6% tax on payroll.

Page 167: Any individual who doesn't have acceptable health care (according to the government) will be taxed 2.5% of income.

Page 170: Any NON-RESIDENT alien is exempt from individual taxes (Americans will pay for them).

Page 195: Officers and employees of Government Health care Bureaucracy will have access to ALL American financial and personal records.

Page 203: "The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax." Yes, it really says that.

Page 239: Bill will reduce physician services for Medicaid. Seniors and the poor most affected.

Page 241: Doctors: no matter what specialty you have, you'll all be paid the same (thanks, AMA!)

Page 253: Government sets value of doctors' time, their professional judgment, etc.

Page 265: Government mandates and controls productivity for private health care industries.

Page 268: Government regulates rental and purchase of power-driven wheelchairs.

This bill is a recipe for death and disaster. Forced Euthanasia, Rationed Health Care, and a Government control of your Medical and Financial records, with no say from you.

Our "Elected Officials" seem to have forgotten that they do not hold permanent positions. They have a "Temp Job" predicated on the supposition that the constituents bosses are pleased with the job they are doing. Today the members of Congress act as if their constituents' bosses' opinions have no merit. Their hubris is beyond measure, with most, if not all of the members of Congress feeling as if their seats are safe and secure.

They are not! No seat in Congress is a safe seat. Anger enough of your constituents bosses and they will discover that simple, but basic fact.

The time has come for the people of the United States to take back their government. As Thomas Jefferson once wrote:

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."

It is time to stop fearing our Government, but to have the Government start fearing us.

It is time we tell Congress that this bill is unacceptable to the American people, that if you vote for this bill it will result in a rude awakening for you on Wednesday, November 3, 2010 when their Constituents Bosses relay the words to them:

You're Fired!

I have the right to criticize anything!

On Thursday the United Nations Human Rights Council passed a resolution banning all criticism of religion. To be exact. It actually means Islam.

U.N. body adopts resolution on religious defamation

The U.N. Human Rights Council adopted the non-binding text, proposed by Pakistan on behalf of Islamic states, with a vote of 23 states in favor and 11 against, with 13 abstentions.

Western governments and a broad alliance of activist groups have voiced dismay about the religious defamation text, which adds to recent efforts to broaden the concept of human rights to protect communities of believers rather than individuals.

Pakistan, speaking for the 56-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), said a "delicate balance" had to be struck between freedom of expression and respect for religions.

The resolution said Muslim minorities had faced intolerance, discrimination and acts of violence since the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, including laws and administrative procedures that stigmatize religious followers.

"Defamation of religious is a serious affront to human dignity leading to a restriction on the freedom of their adherents and incitement to religious violence," the adopted text read, adding that "Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism."

It called on states to ensure that religious places, sites, shrines and symbols are protected, to reinforce laws "to deny impunity" for those exhibiting intolerance of ethnic and religious minorities, and "to take all possible measures to promote tolerance and respect for all religions and beliefs."

Read the whole story here.

In the spirit and interest of the resolution I submit the following rant:

Islam cannot be considered The Religion of Peace since it does not support or promote peace in any way shape or form.

Mohammad was a Pedophile, Islam is a cult not a religion, Muslims are a bunch of loonies who wish to live in the 7th Century and Allah was never and is not a true God!

Just to add more fuel to the fire:

OK UN. Do your worse!

Billboard: Shar'ia Threatens America

Just in time for the Thanksgiving Holiday a billboard has gone up along the I-75 Detroit-Toledo Expressway.





Well said United American Committee.

5th Grader Suspended For Anti-Obama Shirt...

Hat tip to Israel Matzav

When an 11 year-old Dax Dalton of Aurora, Colorado wore a t-shirt to schools stating:

Obama, a terrorist's best friend

He didn't expect to be suspended for it. But that is exactly what happened.

There are many things you cannot wear to school these days, but political buttons and shirts are usually allowed. They are ways to teach politics and political ideas in the classroom. They are symbols of Free Speech. And in this case, it was a form of protest.

An enterprising individual could make a small fortune making these T-Shirts. I for one would buy and wear one myself.

Twenty Tips For Muslims

by guest poster Wake Up

Some tips for our Muslim neighbors in how to live in the West.


1. Don't take advantage of your host's generosity to learn how to fly state-of-the-art aeroplanes into buildings, in the name of an absurd belief system for which there is no empirical evidence, and which is completely at odds with the culture in which you now purport to want to live; (and while we're at it, understand that the twin towers only went down because of their exoskeleton construction; had they been built differently, they would have remained standing and your lunatic "martyrs" would have killed only a few more people than themselves - essentially, the operation was actually a failure).

2. Find the grace to admit that the migrant flow is inexorably East to West because the West is a better place to live, but that you don't yet understand why that is so.

3. Find the humility to ask questions about the New World, instead of fixating on Allah and the past.

4. Stop providing fuel for the West's more rabid right-wing Christian bloc; between you, you are setting up yet another religious war that sane people can see coming and feel powerless to stop.


5. Either stop regarding the West as the Great Satan, or go back home and stop dancing with the Devil.

6. Fatwa yourselves to death at home all you like but leave us alone (incidentally, where is your "home"?); it's a sad religion that can't handle a cartoon or a book, and to us, fatwas are a pain in the arse and a sad joke.

7. Get it through your heads once and for all that the only person who can blaspheme is a person who already believes in what he is blaspheming; everyone else is entitled to say whatever they like. And while we're on this topic, let me explain free speech: it means that not only can we call ourselves stupid white men if we deserve it, we can call you stupid brown men if you deserve it.

8. Face up to the fact that you simply aren't equipped to understand freedom of speech; your arguments against it are sophomoric and adolescent and just make you look insecure and ridiculous.

9. Treat your women better, and in the Muslim countries that practice female circumcision, stop it NOW, of your own volition; don't leave it to us and Waris Dirie to have to continually campaign against it - we never committed this atrocity in the first place.

10. Stop trying to import repugnant customs like the above into the West - you've gone too far already, aided by weak, thoughtless apostates in the West.


11. Stop bitching about the West from INSIDE the West; the only reason "multiculturalism" is being attempted here is because the free speech, democracy, stability and generosity of our advanced culture is willing to give it a try (probably foolishly). You come from countries where it's not even a twinkle in anybody's eye, so be grateful you've got as far as you have, and shut up.

12. Learn from the education available to you in the West, it's the best in the world - take your blinkers off.

13. Stop trying to "destroy" the West. First, being only human and prone to error (like all humans, including you), we are quite capable of doing that ourselves, and if we succeed, the world (also including you) will be the poorer for it. But what we are doing is NONE of your business, and we'll fix it ourselves, thanks very much. Second, if we become more resolute (which I admit is moot at the moment), you won't win - which we know and you don't.


14. Start THINKING instead of REACTING - I know it's hard to break bonds, but that's the process that made the West the Modern World.

15. Your “we will kill you” is not an appropriate response to our “hey, you guys have got it wrong”.

16. Marching and rioting in our streets, using our freedom of speech to call for controls on our freedom of speech where your beliefs are concerned is deeply hypocritical, and shows that you still don’t GET IT.


17. Try to understand that there was no such thing as "Islamophobia" until you brought it on yourselves with the religiously obsessed insanity of 9/11, the ridiculous Salaman Rushdie fatwa, the grand guignol over the cartoons, the disgusting murder of Theo Van Gogh, and the London bombings, which were beyond contempt. All of which took place in the West. It might help if you collectively apologised for all the above, but even then you've got a lot of ground to make up.

18. If you must have a religion, try to find one that celebrates life instead of death.

19. Stop blaming America for your not being able to get your act together. You once led the world in advancement, then you let negative religiosity set you right back again - while America became a beacon of hope to the oppressed everywhere. The Statue of Liberty says "Give me your tired, your hungry, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free". Which of your own "home" countries has that written on the door? NOT ONE. (As someone said: "America: 50 million illegal immigrants can't be wrong.").

AND FINALLY:

20. The only thing preventing you integrating, accessing and succeeding is your own insular, anachronistic, incompatible-with-modernity-and-individuality belief system. Ditch it, and stop being hypocritical about why you are in the West, or go home. YOU are the (imported) problem.
