The Glenn Beck Restoring Honor rally in DC, which looks like it is going to attract over 250,000 people based on the current crowd, is live on Ustream. Click here to watch.
Sarah Palin just went on. Wish I could be there!

“NEVER AGAIN!” was the cry after the National Socialist Workers Party was done with its attempt at a final solution to the “Jewish Question” in WWII. The West as a whole vowed to never stand by and allow a new pogrom to reignite. Today the liberals are not standing by. They are actively taking part and assisting the likes of Hezbollah and mad Mullahs of Iran.
Obama and his cabal have treated Israel with contempt, and grovelled before the dictators of the world. A nation has the right to guard its borders. A nation has the right to protect its people. Obama condemned Israel for doing this. Last year over 100 rocket attacks were inflicted upon Israel. These attacks emanated from Gaza and the West bank. These attacks were conducted by Hamas. The Turkish ambassador to the US has said that, “Hamas must be part of the final solution to the Israeli conflict.” This thug is still on our soil?
Imagine if India were to attack Chinese cities on 100 separate occasions. What do you imagine the response would be? Imagine if Buffalo NY, Flint MI, Boston MA, and Seattle WA were subject to weekly rocket fire from Canada. Would our media advocate not only restraint but concession in light of such bombardment? I instead would imagine that such action would be viewed as a casus belli.
Many in the West are echoing the propaganda of the Junta’s of the Middle East. The dictators that rule from Morrocco to Pakistan echo the puerile antisemitism that is common fare of Wahhabi dominated mosques. On college campuses today it is cool to be an anti-Semite. MSM today is slanted towards this warped view. If a second holocaust is to be avoided, good people must stand up in the public square and cry NEVER AGAIN.
UPDATE: Former Clinton spokesman, Joe Lockhart, said: “I hope we are strong enough as a country to sustain voices that are wrong, voices that offend, even voices that incite.” Cry me a river. This yahoo support’s shutting down the voices of descent with the ‘fairness doctrine.’ Great 1984-ism that bill.
Back to Germany and Poland?
Helen Thomas gives voice to what the media is thinking, the crazy aunt in the attic speaks what is on her ‘mind’
UPDATE:
One of our resident philosophers Wolverine has posed a most excellent question: Where is the ADL? If Thomas where a conservative pr a Republican the ADL, and other watchdogs, would be out in full force decrying this comment. If the president were Republican they would be demanding a statement of him as to whether he supports Helen’s comment. The ADL has become more of a liberal lapdog than a guard dog of Judaism. The Jewish community should take note of this.
Someone needs to explain that the German’s killed 6 Million Jews just 65 years back ‘home’ to Helen. Europe is no home to Israel, it is the land of their diaspora. The Kingdom of Israel covered the region from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River and beyond. Someone needs to explain this to Helen and the other anti-Semites in the liberal Media. The left has returned to its anti-Semitic roots. The world should take note of this.
UPDATE II: Helen Thomas Retires!!
Good riddance to bad rubbish I say.
When a MSA student is asked if they support the idea of all jews gathering to Israel so they don’t have to “hunt them down globally” the student replies “for”.
Is there any doubt that some people here in this country are supporters of terrorists?
In a sense, it would make more sense to tell people not to trash any religion, but if every religion except Islam is subject to ridicule, the so should Islam. I don’t normally think of the NYT as having anything close to a conservative bone in their collective bodies, but this commentary makes sense. Not only does it not make sense that only one religion should be exempt from parody, but those that become violent over parody ought be arrested and charged with the crimes which they have committed.
The latest from the Anglican Church: Shoplifting is OK
When a nominally Christian church contravenes the clear meaning of the Bible on homosexual activity, why should anyone be surprised when a priest from that church also says that stealing is OK?
The Bible says, “Thou shalt not steal.” (Exodus 20:15) There are no provisos, exemptions, or caveats. Even if one steals from a rich man who would never notice the loss, and even if one is starving, or one’s children are starving, God allows no exemptions. Stealing is not just a crime against the victim, it is a crime against God. Stealing under those circumstances is telling God, “I do not trust You.”
I suspect adultery is next. Some Anglican priest will tell us it’s OK to cheat on your wife if she’s become old, ugly, or fat. Or if you’ve decided you’re really a homosexual. Oh, wait, that was a BISHOP.
While reading an article today, a thought ran through my mind. The part that prompted the thought was the follow:
According to the Associated Press, Anwar al-Awlaki, Hasan’s former imam from the al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Virginia, has posted praise for Hasan, and has called on other Muslims serving in the U.S. Military to “follow in the footsteps of men like Nadal.”
If a person states that people should follow in the footsteps of someone that is a murderer, praises them for their crime, is that at least inciting murder? Could it not be considered conspiracy to commit murder?
While I am all for freedom of religion, I am not for expressing murder is okay. It is not okay for Christians to murder abortionists, it is not okay for Thugs to perform ritual strangulation, it is not okay for Islamists to perform jihad murder (or any other murder sanctioned by their religion). Praising a murderer, encouraging people to commit murder is wrong and (unless I’m mistaken) illegal. Why do those that preach violence against innocent people still walk free?
In the UK, at least, Environmentalism is now a officially recognized religion. Of course, Environmentalism’s view of the world w.r.t. anthropogenic global warming has about as much factual basis as the Hindu view that the world rests upon the backs of six elephants, which in turn stand on the back of a turtle.
Thus, it makes sense that such beliefs must be regarded as religious, not scientific.
For the record, all historical and archeological evidence to date supports the Bible’s factual accuracy w.r.t. verifiable events.
I read this
Muslim men can marry non-Muslim women but a Christian man cannot marry a Muslim woman. The constitutional provisions also welcome a Christian to embrace Islam, but when a Muslim converts to Christianity, the penalty is death.
in an article in the Washington Times.
As long as a religion holds a legal double standard that would kill its own members for changing to another religion, they are not a religion of peace.
According to The Politico, former Vice President Al Gore believe that it is our moral duty to pass health care reform:
Gore… was loose-limbed and noticeably thinner than in recent years — and he seemed to elicit the night’s most emotional moment.
Playing off the focus of the Kennedy funeral on the Gospel of Matthew’s parable of Jesus taking care of “the least of us,” Gore thundered that the country has “a moral duty to pass health care reform. This year.”
What Senator Gore neglects to mention is that Jesus laid that duty upon us as individuals — not on the government. The only duty the government has, biblically speaking, is to treat everyone fairly.
Stealing is a sin. The Bible makes no exemptions for privation or starvation. It makes no exemptions for stealing from the rich to give to the poor.
It is our moral duty to give to the poor. It is not our moral duty to take from the rich to give to the poor.
So, donate to non-profit clinics or volunteer at one. To encourage such donations, perhaps we could make all charitable donations 50% deductible.
Polarization: a sharp division, as of a population or group, into opposing factions.
Right now, the country is in the process of becoming polarized. Liberals have covered the truth about Obama enough that his agenda, now coming out in the policies and people he chooses, are so far left that many of the right are not just unhappy, they are more than angry. The right is enraged.
How is this possible? It is possible because the only people in power are politicians. There are so few politicians that actually care about the issues from a standpoint of doing what is right, that regardless of which side they are working, they do it for the wrong reasons. (Not all … I particularly support KC4AG because he is principled in his decisions … consider that a shameless plug!) Many of the Republicans are there not because they believe how they vote, but do so to “represent” the people. I’m sorry, but I think that is wrong.
Because there are no fundamental universal principles for the country, it is inevitable that it fracture. Why can’t we just get along? Because there are those that call evil good and good evil, we cannot get along. It doesn’t matter which set of good and evil each side holds; it only matters that what is in view is total polarization.
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
Because we have no absolutes in common, because so many will call evil what so many others call good, the country cannot stand. The house divided against itself cannot stand.
Do two walk together
unless they have agreed to do so?
There is no agreement among the people of this country. So the people cannot walk together. Without the glue that binds us, the moral/religious views that brought the people here in the first place, this country becomes a house divided against itself. It cannot stand.
The murder of Dr. Tiller was the textbook definition of an assassination. It is a crime for which there is no excuse, and is appalling. The murder of the Pvt. William A. Long, a soldier outside an Arkansas recruiting station, was the textbook definition of a hate crime. It is also a crime for which there is no excuse, and is also appalling. Scott Roeder, the alleged assassin, picked his target because of what he did – killed the unborn past the 20th week. Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad allegedly picked his targets because of what they are – soldiers in the U.S. Army.
The assassination received over ten times as much press coverage as the hate crime. Why is this? The coverage of Matthew Shephard was even more extensive. Are abortionists ten times more valuable than soldiers? Are gay men ten times more valuable than straight? What is driving the outcry in one case but the relative silence in the other?
Why is the president’s response so different? From the Weekly Standard, the following contrast shows what is valuable in Obama’s world:
“I am deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence against two brave young soldiers who were doing their part to strengthen our armed forces and keep our country safe.”
The above was in reference to the murder of an American soldier by a Muslim on his personal Jihad. The following was in reference to the murder of an abortionist:
I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning. However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence.
The tone could not be more different. The murder of a soldier in the name of a violent religion is not heinous? Islamists commit over 2000 acts of violence per year on unarmed civilians. That is a world wide pandemic, it is not senseless, it is the purposeful act of terrorizing those who do not submit, and that is certainly heinous. One miserable lunatic breaks the 6th Commandment targeting an abortion doctor and the liberal media makes political hay over it. The president, whose voting record on abortion is solidly in the NARAL/NOW camp, joins in the fray. This is cowardice and opportunism on many planes.
All lives are precious. It appears Obama holds some in higher regard than others. It appears that in Obama’s world view, and in the world view of the press, abortionists deserve more outrage than soldiers. It appears in Obama’s worldview that a single pathetic loon deserves more attention than the 1284 Muslims who attacked people outside of Iraq and Afghanistan — and in the US. The single doctor is the victim of a heinous act. Killing 5061 people world-wide in 2008 alone in the name of the ‘religion of peace’ is just senseless?
Where is the outrage for the soldiers gunned down in Arkansas? The media reporting here did not interview people who spoke of the hate crime in terms of a war, they described Abdulhakim’s jihad in far more neutral terms. Completely forgotten are the innocent women and children all over the world who are murdered by the religion of peace. The death of a lone abortionist is a rallying point? This bizar-o-land — our 21st-century United States.
This is puerile and vapid because the outrage is manufactured to make a political point. The victims of Islam do not have political interest groups pressuring the president. This abortionist does, and was hailed as a hero?!? For what? Vacuuming the unborn out of their mothers? Stabbing unborn children in the back of the head, or in the heart? For doing this a thousand times? Tiller made a lot money for practicing his trade. What was heroic?
If anything, the assassination of this doctor deserves less outrage than the murder of Pvt. Long. Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad was looking to kill anyone wearing a military uniform; Scott Roeder was looking for Tiller. What is more dangerous to society as a whole? Both acts are 100% wrong. Both injure all of us. Muhammad’s action has broader implications than Roeder’s.
Making political hay of a murder is almost as vile as the murder itself. Such an overt appearance of valuing one victim’s life over another’s is also damaging to society precisely because, in the process, the victim is objectified. To treat the death of Pvt. Long in a way so substantially different than that of Dr. Tiller is appalling. All human life deserves to be protected. Favored classes reduce all of us.
This is the intellectual titan that Keith Olbermann and the null entity known as Michael Musto, a writer for the Village Voice, were referring to in their little locker room tryst on air at MSNBC. When one compares the poise of Miss California verses the ‘I filled my shorts’ invective of Perez — whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira, a Cuban American from Miami — one can see who is rooted in reality, and who is living in a bubble. The crowd cheered Miss California for here respectful but gutsey reply. She did not kow-tow to Perez who was obviously trolling for support for his personal beliefs.
Perez’s you-tube rant is a classic display of a four year old throwing a temper tantrum. Poor baby, did not get what he wanted. Perez is a bully, a coward and a liar; the best part is that he puts it all on display himself without any coaxing. Kiethie and Mikey are filling the role’s of Hilton’s goons, piling it on, which only makes them look smaller and more cowardly than Perez.
Diversity is not just about skin color, and cultural dress. It is about having diverging points of view and being respectful of those who differ with you. The gay mafia goes for the jugular whenever anyone has the temerity to voice their preference as something outside todays pop-culture orthodoxy; this orthodoxy demands marriage is a fungible edifice to be construed in whatever way is currently fashionable.
The boob job, the pictures, all this is just the concerted effort to destroy someone. And for what? Saying something like, “I believe in traditional marriage”? Obama said this very thing, but he was to suffer no such outrage. I am willing to bet the farm that Kiethie, Mikey and Marie all voted for the messiah. The hypocrisy here stinks to the heavens — tolerance my foot.
Sally posted this recently as a comment and I feel that it is too important to be overlooked. Thank you Sally for bringing this to our attention. This was Sally’s comment:
You all have probably seen this, but stepped up Homeland Security against right wing:
“WASHINGTON – A newly unclassified Department of Homeland Security report warns against the possibility of violence by unnamed “right-wing extremists” concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and singles out returning war veterans as particular threats….”
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=94803
The first line is underlined and says “A newly unclassified Document….”. You only have to click on this site and read the report. Talk about catagorizing certain Americans into a “paranoid” group! This coming from a PARANOID government. And this is what the government thinks about you if you subscribe to just one of these ideas. Why can’t they be Left-Wing Extremists?
This is what Obama considers as “uniting us”? Talk about division. I wonder if this is how King George envisioned the colonials of America? Doesn’t say much for the intelligence of our military either. This read is a total abomination!
btw Read (imagine) what is going to happen to blogging and Gore’s internet because of your discourse towards the government.
The University of Maryland wants porn but doesn’t want prayer! The students and university senate can vote and nullify the graduation invocation on their own. The reason being what their “peer” schools do or believe in. A Md. state senator was going to threaten with-holding state funds on the porn issue but was later informed by the judiciary that that wasn’t allowed by law. The 2 news sources I used are liberal and conservative so that both sides were represented equally. You decide.
I am just thankful that the America of my father was good enough for me and that I was able to instill those values in my children. My last child was exclusively schooled in a church school and my oldest daughter decided to totally homeschool both my grandbabies. I guess the sign of the times is showing its butt-crack!
