 Update-The Doctrine of Abrogation: Open the Koran Day


 As me move closer to the launch of the first ever "Open the Koran Day" we will gradually unveil the details for those of you who will be participating.

First, we're pleased to report that hundreds of you have responded with monthly and single gift contributions toward underwriting the project. Many thanks!

If you would like to help support this project you can make monthly Patriot Partner or single gift contributions online here.

Or, if you prefer, you can print out a reply form here and mail it in with your check.

Here are some updates.

First, to give the day a strong focus, we have co-branded the day: The Doctrine of Abrogation: Open the Koran Day. Our goal is to educate the general public about a little known yet important doctrine called "abrogation."

If you are not familiar with abrogation, it is central to the jurisprudential study of the Koran by Islamic scholars and is the doctrine believed and taught by Major Nidal Hasan, the infamous Fort Hood shooter.

In a presentation that has now been published in its entirety, Major Hasan walked a room full of commissioned military officers through the doctrine of abrogation and how it led him to believe that the peaceful verses of the Koran no longer apply, only the violent ones.

U.S. Rep. Allen West recently responded to a man at a town hall meeting by referring to the doctrine of abrogation. You can view that 2:20 video here.

As noted above, Rep. West will be the keynote speaker at this year's national conference gala banquet. To find out more or to register please click here.

We at Act for America feel so strongly that our military, first responders, elected officials and general public need to understand the doctrine of abrogation and what it means for the threat jihad poses to America, that we are making it the entire focus of our previously announced Open the Koran Day.

Thus, we are moving the launch of The Doctrine of Abrogation: Open the Koran Day to Oct 29-30, 2011, in order to be closer to the two year anniversary of Major Hasan's jihadist attack at Fort Hood. We want the news media to focus on the doctrine of abrogation through the eyes of a man who believed it and acted on it.

To help facilitate this focused attention, we are commissioning a special video to be distributed exclusively to ACT! for America chapters and members who participate in this event. The video will focus on Major Hasan, his actions, the warning signs that were ignored, and most importantly, his personal belief in the doctrine of abrogation and what that meant for how he read the Koran.

For this reason we will be asking all participating hosts to locate their events inside a controlled environment, conducive to watching this highly instructive video and using it as a springboard of conversation for the duration of the meeting.

Coming soon we will give you the opportunity to sign up to host one of the Doctrine of Abrogation: Open the Koran Day events in your community. In the meantime, if you can help us fund the production and logistical costs of this historic nationwide event, please visit our donation page today!

 

I'm Not a Perfect Person, I Strive Not To Feel This Way...BUT...

Mar 24, 2011 06:13 am | Coach Collins

 By Ron Reale, staff writer

...I feel not one iota of sympathy for the ruler of Libya or its inhabitants. I actually, and God will not look kindly on me for this, feel a sense of pleasure, a peaceful acceptance that all is well in the world when Libya can be torn to shreds in full view of us all. If there is any country in the world more deserving of it and its inhabitants being struck by, and destroyed by, violence and bloodshed, I can't think of it.

If there is one person with a cogent argument as to why anyone should think it important to intercede in the glorious destruction and death raining down on Libya, I have not heard them, and, truthfully, I would not listen.

The thought of American soldiers or the soldiers of any free peoples, putting themselves in harm's way to aid these savages is anathema to me.

You see, I remember:

Reuters Redefines Terrorist Attack

Nothing captures the media's attention like a bomb in the heart of Jerusalem. At this time, one person was killed and over 30 wounded as a bomb detonated next to a busy bus stop near the city's central bus station and international conference center.

Incredibly, Reuters included the following in its report:

Police said it was a "terrorist attack" - Israel's term for a Palestinian strike. It was the first time Jerusalem had been hit by such a bomb since 2004.

America Not Sold On Obama's "Kinetic Military Action"

The Obama Administration won't say that the mission in Libya is a war. But what, then, is it exactly? Yesterday, during a briefing to reporters on Air Force One, Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes described our involvement as a "kinetic military action." Whatever you want to call it, most Americans aren't sold on it.

A Gallup poll released yesterday found that 47% of Americans approve of the "current military action against Libya," while 37% disapprove. But here is the most significant finding: According to Gallup, the 47% approval rating is the lowest measure of support for any U.S. military campaign in recent decades.

For example, when President Ronald Reagan bombed Libyan targets in 1986, 71% of Americans approved and 21% disapproved. When George H. W. Bush bombed Iraqi military installations in 1993, 83% of Americans approved, while just 9% disapproved. When George W. Bush invaded Afghanistan in 2001, 90% of American supported the effort, while 5% did not. And when President Bush invaded Iraq in March 2003, 76% of Americans supported the war, while 20% did not.

That only 47% of Americans support the mission suggests at a minimum that President Obama has failed to adequately explain the mission. More troubling for the White House is a new Reuters poll that found only 17% of Americans view Obama as a "strong and decisive" commander-in-chief.

By the way, if you don't think there is any confusion at the White House over Libya, consider this: Fox News reports that just 30 days ago, the White House asked Congress for nearly $2 million in additional foreign aid for Libya. Why? To "train military officers, improve its air force, secure its borders and to counter terrorism." 


Good News: Pro-Life Laws Sweeping States

This week South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard signed into law a bill requiring a 72-hour waiting period and counseling for women seeking abortions. Other states are taking similar actions. The Associated Press reports today that dozens of pro-life bills are "advancing through statehouses nationwide."

Five states are considering legislation modeled after Nebraska's law that bans abortions after 20 weeks. In Ohio, a bill would ban abortions after the "first medically detectable heartbeat."

More than 20 states are considering limitations on insurance coverage of abortions. Much of this legislation is in reaction to ObamaCare, which requires state health insurance exchanges to cover abortions unless states pass legislation to opt out of ObamaCare's abortion mandate. Apparently many Americans don't like their hard-earned tax money being spent to pay for abortions!

A spokeswoman for the radically pro-abortion group NARAL complained, "This is having a transformational effect on the insurance industry and the way abortion is viewed." NARAL was all for ObamaCare's "transformational effect" on the insurance industry when it thought it would lead to more abortions. But many states evidently don't view the destruction of innocent life in the womb as healthcare. And NARAL is having fits.

What has the pro-abortion movement so panicked this year is not the volume of pro-life laws under consideration. Pro-life legislators have been fighting for these ideas for many years. What is different now, as the AP notes, is "the fact that many of the toughest, most substantive measures have a good chance of passage due to gains by conservative Republicans in the last year's legislative and gubernatorial elections."


The Left Just Doesn't Get It

Earlier this week, I wrote about the Left's ignorance when it comes to jobs created by America's energy companies. Today's Washington Post features an op-ed by Randy Stilley, president of Seahawk Drilling, a shallow-water drilling company that operates in the Gulf of Mexico. Last month, Seahwak Drilling declared bankruptcy.

Stilley lays the blame for his company's demise and the loss of 500 jobs squarely at Obama's feet, writing, "In the 11 months after the Deepwater Horizon accident, it became clear that Seahawk's greatest rival was no longer our industry competitors, but the U.S. government. The government's drastic slowdown in the issuance of permits for shallow-water drilling operations ... has all but crippled the industry." You can read the rest of Stilley's op-ed here.

So while American oil companies are going bankrupt and jobs are being lost, Obama is promoting oil drilling and job creation in Brazil. When it comes to securing America's energy needs and the jobs that could be created here, the Obama Administration is either clueless or contemptuous. I believe the unemployment rate would be significantly lower if Obama were not president.


Reality Check

I want to respond to several themes that have appeared in recent emails from End of Day readers. I can certainly sense the anger and frustration among many conservatives with this administration, especially as it pursues its agenda through non-legislative means. But I would like to point out that we are making progress.

Today's political environment is vastly improved from the previous two years in which Obama got virtually everything he wanted from a heavily liberal Democrat Congress. House conservatives are preventing the worst liberal legislation from being enacted. Just try to imagine what Washington would be like if Nancy Pelosi were still Speaker, rubber-stamping everything that Obama sent to Capitol Hill.

That said, we need to be realistic about our expectations. We are limited in our ability to roll back legislation we don't like because Democrats still control the Senate. Remember, the Republican House voted to repeal ObamaCare, but the Democrat Senate voted to keep it. What we have in Washington today is a stalemate. But, thankfully, the Obama steamroller has been stopped.

At the same time, many folks have expressed frustration that Barack Obama is not being impeached. My friends, impeachment is not a real option. It is a two-part process that begins with an "indictment" from the House and ends with a trial in the Senate. Barack Obama is not going to be impeached in Harry Reid's Senate.

Not only that, the last time Republicans tried to impeach a Democrat president (Bill Clinton) all we accomplished was to energize the left-wing base (remember MoveOn.org?), boost his approval ratings, and lose GOP seats in the next election.

Sadly, half of the country still supports Obama. The surest way to boost his standing would be to take our focus off of jobs and other important issues to pursue an extremely partisan effort that is doomed to fail.

I also sense a growing dissatisfaction with the House GOP leadership, as if somehow the "bad guys" in Washington are Speaker Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor. I don't agree with the leadership on everything, but Boehner and Cantor do not run the federal government, and they aren't the problem.

Some emails I receive give the impression that the House alone decides what is funded. That is not true. The House initiates spending bills, but the Senate must also approve them. If the House votes to defund ObamaCare in the next spending bill, for example, Harry Reid will simply put the funding back in. If the House and Senate can't reach a compromise, then you have a government shutdown.

That may seem like a good idea to many people, but there are many good conservatives who are against a shutdown, not because they are wimps or sellouts, but because of history. The last time we tried it, like the last time we tried impeachment, it was a public relations disaster for us. In fact, the evidence is strong that the Democrats want a shutdown because they are convinced they will win that battle. A compliant media will blame it on conservatives and parrot the Democrat line.

But I'm not so sure the left will win this time. I am inclined to support a shutdown provided we use the opportunity to thoroughly educate the American people about just how severe the fiscal crisis really is. That will be a massive undertaking and the liberal media will be against us the entire time. But Boehner and Cantor are not the enemy, my friends. We want the same things. We are merely having a disagreement over strategy.

Let me conclude by stating the obvious: The last election was good and it gave us hope that the worst was over. But it was not great. We won the House and closed a big gap in the Senate. But we did not win the Senate, and Obama is still president.

Rather than bashing Boehner, what we all need to do is to work hard every day to make sure that we win the November 2012 elections, just 20 months away from now, and that Harry Reid is no longer Senate Majority Leader and that Barack Obama is no longer in the White House. That is what CWF is working to accomplish.

If we win the Senate and White House we can start making the necessary changes to get America back on track. If we lose because we wasted precious time and resources fighting one another, then the damage to our country may be impossible to reverse.

Obama's Solution: Amputation and More Amputation to the Body of Israel

 Stanley Zir

 Edited by Susan North & Buddy Macy

OUR PURPOSE
 

Fulfilling the mandate of the Jewish People's Declaration of Independence: Establishing the line which must not be crossed... a line which serves as a hedge of protection around the nation of Israel.

RALLY CALL

Israel can no longer be sabotaged by proposals cloaked in the name of peace and continue to survive. Our goal is the uniting of Jews and non-Jews in one purpose of mind, leaving no doubt there is a line which must not be crossed, and which we will defend to protect and secure the sovereign state of Israel.

For years, pundits have been analyzing and suggesting solutions to every event that chronicles the obvious injustice Israel faces, but to what avail? It's now 2011, the free world, and, most especially, Israel, is under attack by Obama's policies.

Obama's solution to the Israeli-Arab dispute - amputation and more amputation to the Body of Israel - thus bringing upon her ultimate death. Instead of submitting ourselves as a hapless victim to his knife, the Jewish People must take a proactive stance.  We need to unite as one and take up the call for an immediate end to negotiations with people who have become nothing more than foot soldiers in Iran's global terrorist's enterprise. Whether it is Hamas, or Fatah, whether you label them religious terrorists or secular moderates, the DNA of hate and the destruction of Israel is the glue that binds these political parties to a common objective: Their determination is to create another terrorist Islamic state with "East Jerusalem" as its capital. (There never was a "west bank or east JERUSALEM" until the terms were invented to erase the real names which for thousands of years have been and remain JUDEA, SAMARIA and JERUSALEM).

At the end of the day, to be victorious we need a Proclamation whose Declaration unites us in one purpose, one heart, when discussing the business of securing the survival of Israel. It must be one that keeps us on a steady course as we advance towards this objective, not one of half measures that keep us scattered in every direction by the winds of change and uncertainty.

Never Again is Now is that proclamation; it is the inspiration for the Jewish People's Declaration of Independence. Its contents are a suitable vessel with which to directly address the issue of securing the survival of Israel, as it provides a litmus test establishing a line which cannot be crossed - the line which serves as a hedge of protection around the nation of Israel.

To secure that line, we need an oath to take the necessary steps to insure a stop order on any policy which would comprise the defense and survival of the sovereign nation of Israel - an oath that upholds the tenets of the Jewish People's Declaration of Independence.
 
With those in agreement, I urge that this Declaration be read aloud at the beginning of any meeting, setting protocol for addressing the business of securing the survival of the Jewish State - thus giving teeth to its decree that "Never Again Means Never Again."
 
The Jewish People's Declaration of Independence:

Upholding the Mandates of Liberty's Just Cause
 
Nathan Hale, in an act of defiance, declared: "I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country." Why did this proclamation have such a powerful impact on the people of his day? Because, it captured the essence of their convictions and clearly and powerfully expressed sentiments that they could rally around to defend against, and defeat, an enemy that threatened to destroy them. For all practical purposes, the baton for peace in the Middle East that has been passed down by every U.S. President has become nothing but a truncheon used for Israel's destruction. After more than 40 years of fruitless dialogue with the Arab states, the vultures of death are now circling Israel; she is boxed in on all sides.

With Obama's final push to establish another terrorist Islamic state, how can we as a free people observe this act of betrayal and not scream out in disgust! Does he expect us to just sit here and watch everything we stand for be desecrated and defiled? Now, as with America's Founding Fathers, the Jewish People must declare their independence from his current policy that can only lead to the destruction of Israel.

The Never Again is Now Coalition was established in 2008 for this stated purpose, as it provides a rallying point for Jews and non-Jews alike to unite against any policy that dictates that the Jewish People must again go silently into the night. The Jewish People's Declaration of Independence, as a Never Again decree, addresses this issue.

Its purpose is clear, demanding that all agreements between Israel and other nations must be accountable to the core values that advance liberty's just purpose and noble cause - securing this world as a sanctuary, free from the forces that the governance of fascism, hatred and tyranny brings.

Since lies are the tools that fascists and tyrannies use to complete their circuitry of deceit, all nations must abide by and honor the decrees that support the tenets of freedom as the seal to bind any and all peace agreements between Israel and all other nations.

To verify if those who honor and enforce the above mandate give teeth to its demands, we authored the Jewish People's Declaration of Independence. As a never again decree, it clearly achieves this objective.  Why? It demands that peace agreements offered by nations whose tyrannical protocol embraces the persecution of and/or hatred of Jews, and the destruction of Israel, be rebuked!.... while confirming that nations which champion freedom's cause stand unequivocally in opposition to any and all agreements that sanction the insidious notion that "terrorists/fascists and Israel are equal partners for peace."

All Signatories

Let it be known that all of the signatories to the Jewish People's Declaration of Independence support and proclaim that as a sovereign nation, Israel's right of self-determination is sacrosanct.

Furthermore, Israel retains the exclusive and irrevocable right to establish the rules of engagement or disengagement from any agreements concerning the status and survival of the Jewish State.

Notwithstanding, is the Jewish People's right to censure any parties, nations or international institutions which do not recognize a united Jerusalem as  the capital of Israel - an irrevocable right that is reserved exclusively for the citizens of the sovereign nation of Israel.

Please visit www.neveragainisnow.com and, if you have not signed the Declaration, add your name to the 22,000 signatories, including 800 Holocaust survivors, who support the ideals expressed in the Jewish People's Declaration of Independence. Then, pass this email on to everyone on your Twitter and Facebook lists. We also request your support by forwarding this email to Glen Beck me@glennbeck.com and news@glennbeck.com, a great supporter of Israel.
 
Action Alerts will be forthcoming from Never Again is Now on how we can use the Declaration to consolidate our forces to put a stop order on any policy that would lead to the destruction of Israel and the Jewish People.
 
Thank You,

UNRWA removes Holocaust education from Palestinian textbooks in Jordan

 I think I'm reading this right, and that the Orwellian move is formally limited only to Jordan right now. But given how the precedent is framed, it won't stay that way for long:

Omri Ceren

puts a spotlight on a new move by UNRWA (the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East):

The UNRWA [United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East] director of operations in Jordan on Thursday said the agency will commit to teaching the curricula of host countries, shelving plans to include the Holocaust in school textbooks... On Wednesday, UNRWA teachers in the country threatened to escalate measures by staging work stoppages and strikes if the relief agency continues with a plan to include the Holocaust in school textbooks.

The Union of Arab Workers at UNRWA put out a statement saying that the Holocaust shouldn't be taught in any of UNRWA's five areas of operation - Jordan, Lebanon, the West Bank, Gaza and Syria - and that instead the space should be used to teach students about the Right of Return. That would ostensibly "enrich" sixth and seventh generation Palestinian children by telling them that some day they'll be overrunning Israel, and it would make the lessons consistent with the rest of UNRWA's war curriculum.

UNRWA in Gaza should be following shortly, in line with the Hamas government's formal policy of denying the Holocaust...

Sarah Palin criticizes Obama after Israel visit
Sarah Palin this week visited Israel for the first time.

The bus bombing in Jerusalem occurred shortly after her visit, and Palin had strong words for President Obama for not being more supportive of Israel.
 
Asked by Politico whether Palin was right in her critique of Obama's Israeli-Palestinian approach, RJC Executive Director Matthew Brooks responded:

The accuracy of Palin's harsh assessment of President Obama's highly hyped Middle East efforts is no longer denied by serious pro-Israel leaders in this country, though some may prefer not to concede it.

The good news is that important institutions - notably our two nations' militaries - maintain strong and continuous partnerships across a wide range of projects. The bad news is that the diplomatic relationship is severely strained and the policy results are abysmal.

This president has personally snubbed Israel's prime minister at the White House, lectured Jewish leaders about how we and our friends in Israel need to somehow dig deeper to prove we want peace and put settled questions critical to the alliance into doubt. All the while remaining comparatively silent on the need for real reform and concrete steps toward peace by the Palestinians.

This has produced a flatlined, moribund "peace process," an ongoing diplomatic crisis at the United Nations and a serious threat of renewed war.

Sadly, President Obama continues to believe that the only way to peace is through pressure of the Israelis, rather than working to make sure Israel has a real, viable partner for peace on the other side with the Palestinians. In that, Sarah Palin is absolutely correct.

1. Obama/Salazar Moratorium Has Crippled Domestic Oil Production

In 2011, Gulf of Mexico oil production will under-perform the government's pre-Macondo forecasts by 355,000 barrels per day - almost 130 million barrels for the year. In 2012, the shortfall rises to 550,000 barrels per day - 200 million barrels. That's fully one-third of the Gulf's oil producing capability, and over 10% of total domestic oil production.

These are staggering numbers.

2. The Racist Revolt in Libya

To hear it from a wide variety of unlikely allies, the rather blatant effort engineered by the Obama Administration to oust the perpetual colonel, Muammar Qaddafi, from power in Tripoli will result in a dangerous tyrant being removed from power. This doesn't seem to be playing out on the ground where the famous aphorism by Mather Byles, "Which is better - to be ruled by one tyrant three thousand miles away or by three thousand tyrants one mile away?" can be witnessed in all its glory.

Apparently mobs of US supported rebels are happily slaughtering Africans living in cities under their control.

These atrocities were not being carried out by an evil dictator, rather they were the work product of the people with whom the world's greatest democracy has aligned itself.

Not only was there no reason for our intervention from any reason of national strategy we knew nothing about the people who we had decided to help. But none of that is important when you're involved in a shooting war to prove that your predecessor was wrong.

Well, now we do know something about the people we are helping. They are brutal. They practice systematic rape and oppression as a means of expelling blacks from Libya - one of the many charming things about the Arab world. They are supported by al Qaeda. In fact, they are demonstrably worse than the man we're struggling to depose.

3. Where This Is Headed

So ... where is this whole budget process headed?

Let's review the bidding:

• Many conservative groups have pushed for -- at the very least -- Republican opposition to any short-or
  long-term spending bill that does not defund ObamaCare.
• The Republican leadership balks because they do not want to get the blame for shutting down the government -- which would be shut down for the sole reason that Barack Obama refuses to sign a bill to keep it open, if the price for him is defunding the ObamaCare program which independent voters hate.
• The Republican leadership also fears ads about cute children who starved to death because of a government shutdown -- but, of course, that can be averted by legislation to keep attractive programs open in lieu of a funding or debt limit bill.
• Finally, the Republican leadership fears the damage to the economy -- again, a slowdown of the recovery during Barack Obama's watch for the sole reason that Obama would rather crash the economy than defund ObamaCare. (From a Republican perspective, that's called having all 52 cards in your hand.)

Instead, says the Republican leadership, this is only the first of a series of battles.

4. The Wages of Short-Sighted War Are Rape

"The murder and rape of Black African migrants in Benghazi (East Libya) reduces the value of anti-Qaddafi rebels' claim to justice."

- Baruti M. Kamau (The Barutiwa Daily Times)

We should all responsibly cede that US President Barack Obama would not deliberately seek out and ally America with an army that used rape as a weapon for vengeance and psychological intimidation during non-conventional warfare. Yet, according to many newspapers throughout the world, this is true of the rebels our airstrikes over Libya currently support.

This pathetic farce has come to pass because The Obama White House rushed into war. They did so in a unilateralist, shoot-'em-up, cowboy fashion. They made no effort to understand the indigenous culture or the situation on the ground.

5. The Obama Doctrine And Syria

As events unfold along the Mediterranean rim the governing strategy behind US foreign policy, the Obama Doctrine, becomes increasingly clear.

On the heels of supporting an insurrection managed by the Muslim Brotherhood against Hosni Mubarak, we have undertaken an ill-conceived military assault in favor of a racist and islamist insurrection against a ridiculous nonentity... a military assault our "allies" seem to be abandoning faster than lice do a dead dog.

Now we observe that Syria is cracking down on its own democracy movement. The security forces there have killed as many as 25 unarmed people in a series of raids.

6. Frank Lautenberg Thinks Terrorists Should Have More Rights than Tea Partiers

Some people are beyond parody. Back in 2007, Frank Lautenberg voted to expand the right of habeas corpus to foreign citizens detained overseas in the war on terror. In other words, if you are a terrorist, Frank Lautenberg thinks you are not getting all the Constitutional rights you deserve and he is going to do everything he can to make sure you get them. However, if you are a United States citizen who has not committed any crime whatsoever, apart from opposing taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood, Frank Lautenberg believes you deserve no Constitutional rights at all. At a Planned Parenthood rally in Englewood, NJ, Lautenberg, addressing the counterprotestors who were protesting continued government funding of Planned Parenthood, said, "These people don't deserve the freedoms in the Constitution." In this context, "These people" apparently means the vast majority of Americans who don't support taxpayer funding of abortion, or at the very least all TEA Party people who feel that way.

7. Scott Brown Supports Spending Your Tax Dollars on Abortions

Often in the political activism business, we struggle to balance principle with strategy. At RedState, we have taken the oft-criticized stance that we will not endorse any pro-choice candidate, regardless of their stance on other issues. That said, we have not always agreed, even amongst ourselves, how we should treat pro-choice Republicans who would nonetheless doubtless be better than the Democrat alternative. In some cases, many of us (myself often included) have felt comfortable keeping quiet about pro-choice Republicans, saying things about them that are generally positive, and/or attacking their Democrat opponents. In the last couple of years, we have had lively discussions about how to react to primary challenges to Mike Castle and Olympia Snowe, to name but a couple. Personally, I counseled leaving both Castle and Snowe alone at least in the absence of a primary challenger who could win statewide.

That having been said, it is one thing to be pro-choice - i.e., to believe that mothers ought to legally have the right to kill their children in utero. This, perhaps, is something towards which conservatives might turn a blind eye in the service of pragmatism and politics. It is something else to be in favor of taxpayer funding of abortion, a position which is outside the mainstream of American politics and which seeks to make each and every one of us complicit in abortions. This is exactly the position Scott Brown has taken.

A Political Reality Show

By Burt Prelutsky

I am constantly writing myself notes, jotting down the things I hear oozing out of the mouths of politicians. But occasionally when it comes time to use the quotes in an article, I find myself wondering if our elected officials actually spoke those words or if I had been hallucinating.

I mean, when some of the Tea Party Republicans were trying to introduce the notion of fiscal responsibility to Capital Hill by defunding the NEA, did Harry Reid actually take the floor to defend a cowboy poetry festival that annually draws dozens of tourists to Nevada? For one thing, if the Democrats are going to fight over such things, don't they realize that they sound exactly like those dippy women who divorce guys like Donald Trump and, in the battle over alimony, insist that they really need $20,000-a-month for their dog trainer and another 25 grand for daily pedicures?

For another thing, I hope I never again have to hear the words "cowboy" and "poetry" uttered in the same sentence.

Speaking of dumb things, did I actually hear Martin Sheen compare Charlie Sheen's situation to that of a cancer victim? If so, Charlie's not the only one in the family who needs to have his head examined.

On the other hand, as I listened to Charlie's endless rants about how special he is, being, as he is, a warlock, I found myself thinking that he was only saying out loud the exact same things that all those left-wing Hollywood crackpots believe about themselves. When you see and hear folks like Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand, Danny Glover, Sean Penn and George Clooney, scolding the rest of us, describing us as rubes, fascists and racists, don't you suspect they're wondering, "Why am I even wasting my time with these puny little creatures who all wish they could be me, me with my millions of dollars, my battalion of servants and sycophants, and my veins filled with tiger blood"?

Like most sane people, I was delighted to see the two oafs named Schiller dumped by National Public Radio. I would have been even happier if I didn't immediately have to see Juan Williams on Fox, once again chastising the left-wing elitists at NPR. Why is it that nobody dares challenge Mr. Williams by pointing out that it was the exact same place, pouring out the same sort of left-wing drivel, when he was working there quite contentedly for over 10 years? And after all that time, he didn't suddenly come to his senses and quit; he was fired. So, for all of his self-righteous bluster, the only thing that's changed are the folks who sign his checks.

For sheer chutzpah, it's hard to beat Sen. John Ensign, who claimed his decision not to seek re-election in 2012 has nothing to do with his adulterous affair with a staff worker, but, rather, his concern with how a campaign would affect his family. How odd that he never wondered how his affair would affect them.

By the way, with the frequency that politicians are caught having affairs with members of their staff, are we to assume that these days typing and filing skills are strictly optional, while taking dictation is essential?

Proving that even a guy who looks like Central Casting's idea of a president can be as dumb as a rock, allow me to present for your inspection Mitt Romney. As we look forward to a campaign in 2012, in which ObamaCare figures to be a major issue, this schnook defends RomneyCare! His defense is that it was created to deal with Massachusetts' needs. Who's managing his campaign -- Moe, Curly or David Axelrod?

If he were as smart as he is rich and good-looking, Romney would have said, "I regret to admit it, but my health care plan proved to be an unmitigated disaster. But I, unlike Barack Obama, learned from my mistake."

I believe that most Americans will accept that governors, senators and even presidents, make mistakes. In fact, they've come to expect it. But what they resent are politicians who are too stubborn or too simpleminded to acknowledge theirs and who, instead, double down.

But doing his best to take the heat off Romney's gaffe, we had Newt Gingrich blaming his tawdry affairs on his patriotism. I must say that, as excuses for adultery go, this one had the virtue of originality. But only in the sense that a kid explaining to his teacher that the reason he wasn't turning in his report was because a Martian had eaten it.

I never thought I'd say it, but I just might toss my hat in the ring and run in 2012. If things continue the way they have been, I just might be the last Republican standing. What's more, I am over the age of 35, I was born in Chicago and I'd be happy to show anyone who's interested my long form birth certificate.

This week President Obama eagerly announced his support for new offshore drilling.

But for Brazil.

Yes, you read that right. During a visit to Brazil, President Obama applauded Brazil's decision to drill offshore for oil and gas, the very action that he and his administration have worked tirelessly to ban and restrict in the United States.  The President also backed up his support with a promise of U.S. federal financing to help fund Brazil's drilling operations that will create thousands of new jobs in Brazil.

President Obama said that he wants the United States to be one of Brazil's "best customers" when Brazil's new oil and gas supplies come online.

Why does President Obama want to be one of Brazil's best customers of oil and gas when there are millions of Americans who would be eager to be the best customers of new supplies of oil and gas produced by workers in Louisiana, Alaska, and Virginia?

Meanwhile, gasoline and diesel prices in the United States are skyrocketing. Rigs are leaving the Gulf of Mexico and signing contracts with other countries. President Obama's drilling moratorium last summer and the subsequent refusal to issue new drilling permits caused the loss of at least 20,000 jobs. And domestic production of oil will drop by 220,000 barrels per day in 2011.

Will you help us send a message to Obama?

Please forward this email to your friends and ask them to sign the "Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less." petition.

 (CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama's intervention in Libya's civil war has not only failed to win the approval of a majority of the American people, according to a Gallup poll conducted Monday, it also earned the lowest public approval rating of any U.S. military operation polled by Gallup over the past four decades.

State Dep't Still Reviewing Terrorist Designation of Iranian Opposition Group As Bipartisan Support for That Group Grows
 (CNSNews.com) - The wave of popular revolts against repressive regimes in the Middle East and North Africa has given new impetus to a campaign for the administration to legitimize an Iranian opposition group. The Mujaheddin-e Khalq, which wants to unseat Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is on the State Department's list of foreign terrorist organizations, but some say it should be removed.

Iran, Syria Benefit From U.N. Nuclear Assistance Program, Which the State Dep't Insists on Funding in Full
 (CNSNews.com) - The United States is the biggest funder of a U.N. program that helps countries to develop civilian nuclear technologies. Despite "dual-use" proliferation concerns, the program's beneficiaries include Iran and Syria. The Government Accountability Office has for years recommended that the U.S. government, as a result of those proliferation concerns, withhold a proportion of its funding to the program, but the State Department strongly opposes the move, arguing among other things that the U.S. must set a good example to other countries "by paying its contribution in full and on time."

Breakdown of Black Families in U.S. Linked to Planned Parenthood's Birth Control Campaign, Experts Say
 (CNSNews.com) - Planned Parenthood's birth-control campaign in low-income, black neighborhoods is partly to blame for the breakdown of the black family and today's epidemic of out-of-wedlock births, single parent households, sexually transmitted diseases, absent fathers, and high abortion rates, according to panelists who spoke last week at the Frederick Douglass Foundation's annual conference in Washington.  "The first family targeted by Planned Parenthood in the late 30s, early 40s was the black family," a conservative analyst said.

Obama Administration Presses Its Homosexual 'Rights' Agenda on Other Nations

Obama Budget Nominee Admits Current Budgets Higher than Bush Debt
 (CNSNews.com) - Though President Barack Obama has repeatedly said he inherited a fiscal mess from his predecessor George W. Bush, Obama's nominee to be the deputy budget director conceded to a Senate panel last week that none of Bush's budgets had as high a debt as Obama's do.

Virginia's Education System Has 'Managed Well' Without Teacher Unions, Governor Says
 Washington (CNSNews.com) - Virginia's Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell said his state has "managed well" without teachers' unions. "If you're a manager, you take care of your people, you motivate them, you make sure they're compensated well, you treat people fairly - I think that's the right approach in the public or private sector, and really it kind of minimizes the need for a union," he said. McDonnell and other governors spoke Tuesday about an effort endorsed by the Obama administration to prevent kids from dropping out of high school.

COMMENTARIES:

Obama Wags the Dog
By Ben Shapiro
As the price of oil skyrockets, as our debt levels rise to new highs and our housing market drops to new lows, President Obama decides that it is a fantastic time to start dropping bombs on Libya. But nobody, including Obama, seems to know what our objective is in Libya. Moreover, for a community organizer, Obama sure has trouble organizing the international community. One matter is crystal clear, however: we're certainly not in Libya for the reasons Obama has articulated.

A World in Disarray
By Alan Caruba
Liberals have always been entranced with the notion that an international organization would bring an end to war. But the United Nations has devolved into a cesspool of evil and irrelevance. I cannot think of a single war, large or small, nor any genocides it has managed to stop. If there has been a force for freedom in the world, it has been the might and power of the United States of America.

Detroit's Liberal Nightmare
Posted March 24th, 2011

What happens when a city buys the liberal dream hook, line and sinker? Just take a look at the City of Detroit. The once-great city lost 237,493 residents over the last decade according to the 2010 Census, bringing it to 713,777 - a population plunge of 25%. That's its lowest population since 1910, and it marks the city's fall from a 1950s peak of two million, over 60%. And that's just the people who can afford to leave.

Doctors Give the Practice of Medicine under Obamacare a Grim Prognosis
Posted March 23rd, 2011 

On Monday, The Heritage Foundation hosted a panel of current and future physicians to discuss the impact of Obamacare on their profession. Their remarks highlighted the importance of the doctor-patient relationship as the heart of the practice of medicine and detailed direct threats as a result of the new health law.

Breaking Health Care Research: Pursuing a Different Path in Health Reform
Posted March 23rd, 2011
 

After one year, Obamacare remains just as unpopular as ever. The fight for repeal has gained ground in both Congress and the states. But repeal is only the first step in setting a new agenda on health care.

In her recently released paper, Heritage expert Nina Owcharenko explains the four steps necessary to creating lasting reform that is truly market-based and patient-centered: "Unlike Obamacare, Congress should pursue an approach to health care reform that preserves the doctor-patient relationship and cutting-edge innovation while controlling costs and expanding access to private health coverage."

According to Owcharenko, successful reform will focus on four crucial areas:

Iran Blasts U.S. Intervention in Libya While Escalating Its Meddling in Neighbors' Affairs
Posted March 23rd, 2011 

Iran predictably has lambasted the U.N.-backed intervention in Libya, which it regards as a front for western neo-colonial efforts to seize Libyan oil resources. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, gave a televised speech on Monday that criticized the military intervention in Libya and accused President Barack Obama of lying: "The US and Western (allies) claim they want to defend the people by carrying out military operations or by entering Libya ... You did not come to defend the people, you've come after Libyan oil." He accused the United States of trying to foment an uprising in the Islamic Republic similar to those roiling the Arab Middle East, saying this was a "doomed and grotesque plan."

Obama Budget Adds $80,000 per Household to National Debt
Posted March 23rd, 2011 

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has completed its initial review of President Barack Obama's budget request and found that the White House significantly understated the cost of and red ink in its budget.

While President Obama claimed his budget would produce $7.2 trillion in deficits (a staggering figure) over the next decade, CBO calculated $9.5 trillion in deficits. That is more debt than the federal government accumulated from 1789-2010 combined. Overall, CBO estimates that the national debt held by the public-40 percent of GDP before the recession-would soar past 87 percent of GDP in a decade.

On Thursday's Program 

 Obama laments 'complicated' past with El Salvador

We stood against communist rebels to make sure they didn't take over the country - what is so complicated about that? Why would we apologize for that? The only reason anyone would apologize for stopping communists from taking over a country would be because you - like communists. But what are the odds that the President of the United States has a soft spot in his heart for the commies? Don't answer that. More from GlennBeck.com.

Next director of FBI... Jamie Gorelick?

On the possible shortlist for the next director of the FBI is Jamie Gorelick - name sound familiar? It should. Gorelick was on the 9/11 commission, but was also responsible for creating the 'wall of separation' blamed for letting the 9/11 attacks occur. She also was Vice Chairman of Fannie Mae during the bundling of subprime loans era. What a great track record! No one in their right mind would hire her to head anything, unless they wanted to destroy it. Get more at GlennBeck.com.

Egypt Air wipes Israel off the map: According to a report, the largest airline in Egypt shows Jordan's land reaching the Mediterranean Sea. Probably just a coincidence. See the map HERE.

Media not interested in domestic economic terrorism

Rush Limbaugh weighed in with a great take on the Steven Lerner plot to crash the stock market, but very few others in the media have been willing to take it on. Congressman Jason Chaffetz sent the DOJ a letter demanding they address the story, but so far there hasn't been a response. Glenn has the latest update on the left's economic terrorism game plan on radio HERE.

New Hampshire judge forces child to go to public school

A divorced couple fought in court over where their daughter should attend school - either continued homeschooling with mom, or public school as dad wished. The court eventually ruled, even though the girl was academically superior and wanted to continue homeschooling, that the girl's "vigorous defense of her religious beliefs to (her) counselor suggests strongly that she has not had the opportunity to seriously consider another point of view." Wow. Get the full story HERE. 

Media Matters has 86 people devoted to Glenn Beck

Glenn has 10 producers that put together the TV show each day, and even less on radio - yet Media Matters CEO says they are finding it 'tough' to monitor 4 hours of broadcast each day because they only have 86 employees to monitor the 2 shows. No wonder these guys are constantly wanting someone else to lift their boat -- Glenn has more on radio today.
