Quote: 

"But what do we mean by the American Revolution? Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations... This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution."

New Campaign launched by former CIA, Special Operations Members to combat leaks and politicization of National Security Info

Kicks Off Nationwide With Release Of Documentary Short Film Titled "Dishonorable Disclosures"

OPSEC Website: http://www.opsecteam.org/

Former CIA and Special Operations members are announcing the creation of OPSEC, a new nationwide public campaign to combat the spike in leaks and politicization of Intelligence and Special Operations missions that threaten their effectiveness and the safety of Americans who conduct them. OPSEC - short for Operational Security, meaning to eliminate or reduce the exploitation of critical information - will begin with the release of "Dishonorable Disclosures," a new documentary short film highlighting the problem from the perspective of those who have served in these critical positions. The film will also serve as the basis for a TV and online advertising effort.

"Intelligence and Special Operations members are angry and frustrated at how our work has been used for political advantage by officials across government, including President Obama himself who bears special responsibility as Commander in Chief," said Scott Taylor, chairman of OPSEC and a former Navy SEAL. "We want the American people to understand the cost of these leaks and politicization both on those who serve and on our national security and to hold those in positions of leadership accountable if it doesn't stop."

OPSEC is made up of individuals who served their country in the CIA, and Special Operations Forces (SOF) consisting of Navy SEALs, Army Special Forces, Marine Corps and Air Force Special Operations. It is organized as a 501(c)(4) nonpartisan public education campaign and is independent of any political party or campaign organization.

The campaign will begin with the release of "Dishonorable Disclosures," a documentary short film that views the impact of the increasing number of leaks on Intelligence and Special Operations missions, tradecraft, tactics and capabilities from the perspective of those who have relied on these tools to carryout similar missions and protect themselves and those they served alongside. The film will be shown at events in key states across the country over the next several months, including Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina and Nevada. "Dishonorable Disclosures" can be seen here.

"Countless leaks, interviews and decisions by the Obama Administration and other government officials have undermined the success of our Intelligence and Special Operations forces and put future missions and personnel at risk," said Fred Rustmann, an OPSEC member and 24-year veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency. "OPSEC will carry a strong message across the country that it's time for President Obama and other administration officials to stop jeopardizing national security operations for political gain."

More information about OPSEC and news about the release of "Dishonorable Disclosures" can be found at http://www.opsecteam.org/.

Dishonorable Disclosures

Former Special Ops officers from four separate branches of the military have joined ranks for one specific purpose - to remove Barack Obama from office.

And now they need your help to do it.

Dear Fellow American,

During World War II, they had a poster up in every defense plant and military base in America.

It didn't mince words; it told it straight --

"Loose lips sink ships."

Well, now our nation is saddled with a Commander in Chief who just doesn't seem to get that message. Or, if he does, he simply doesn't care.  

Let me lay it on the line: Barack Obama's loose lips are doing worse than sinking ships - they're putting our entire nation at risk.

And if you and I don't get this man out of office, he's going to destroy our military, undermine every ally we have, and arm our enemies to the teeth.

All for his own sorry political purposes.

That's why I am asking you to join me now in helping the Special Operations Speaks (SOS) PAC launch a nationwide campaign to remove Barack Obama from office. Before it's too late.  

Demand Congress Hold the Obama 'Leakers' Accountable

http://specialoperationsspeaks.com/petition/petition-ptec

PS: Like most Navy officers, the date of June 15, 1985, is seared in my memory. That's the date Islamic terrorists hijacked TWA Flight 847 and brutally tortured Navy Seabee Robert Stethem to death. All he had to do was scream out for mercy, and he would have been allowed to live. But he refused to utter a sound.

The pilot of Flight 847 later said, "He was the bravest man I've ever seen in my life."

Bob Stethem's brother was a Navy SEAL; I know him. So, I know something of the stuff of which he was made. Warriors like him don't scream out, they don't beg for mercy, and they don't ask for help.

And that's why my fellow former Special Operations officers and I are asking for your help on their behalf today.

In 2008, when he was running for president, Barack Obama promised his leftwing supporters that if they helped him get elected, "I will slow the development of future combat systems."

That's one of the only campaign promises he has kept. And it has placed our brave warriors in harm's way.

Your gift of $25, $50, $100 - even $1,000 or more if you can possibly spare it - will help our Special Operations Speaks PAC bring an end to Barack Obama's war on the military. So, I urge you, please give as generously as you can.

We will be having a grand opening celebration for our new office

 Yours in Liberty,
The Kitchen Table Patriots

Please give your attention to this important announcement from the Senate Conservatives Fund. From time to time, we send you content on behalf of third parties we believe may be of interest to you and we believe this one deserves your attention.  

Fellow Conservatives:

If you want to stop the massive growth of our federal government and save America's future, we must change the United States Senate.

Harry Reid and the Democrats control the Senate today and, unfortunately, we still have too many Republicans who lack the courage to fight for our nation's founding principles.

As a Senator who works each day to stop the massive spending, bailouts, and debt that are destroying our country, I can tell you that we desperately need conservative reinforcements.

This is why I founded the Senate Conservatives Fund back in 2008 and it's why SCF is working so hard today to elect a new group of leaders in 2012 who will fight to turn this country around.

Will you help change the Senate?

Josh Mandel Ohio

Jeff Flake Arizona

Richard Mourdock Indiana

Ted Cruz Texas

Deb Fischer Nebraska

George Allen Virginia

Tom Smith Pennsylvania

Dan Bongino Maryland

These eight candidates are unique in that they have conservative records, have earned support from the grassroots in their states, and have the courage to stand up for our values -- even if it means going against their own party's leadership.

These candidates support all of SCF's policy goals, including:

• Cutting spending to balance the budget
• Repealing Obamacare entirely
• Securing the borders and oppose amnesty
• Stopping corporate bailouts
• Banning earmarks
• Establishing term limits
• Defending the 2nd Amendment
• Protecting human life

The Senate Conservatives Fund is doing two important things to help its endorsed candidates win in November.

First, SCF is raising money for each of the candidates from donors all across the nation. Money alone does not win elections, but the lack of money can certainly lose them.

Second, SCF is running powerful TV and radio ads to counter the opposition and drive home our side's message of economic freedom and prosperity.

Help Change the Senate ...

SCF makes it possible for you to donate directly to its eight endorsed candidates so they receive 100% of your donations.

This is a very unique approach for a third-party group and it shows exactly how committed SCF is to helping these candidates. It's also why the POLITICO newspaper called SCF a "wildly successful small-donor fundraising machine."

These are exceptional candidates who have overcome long odds to get this far, and now they urgently need your help to win in November.

Time is running out and we must work together to send true conservative leaders to Washington this year.

Thank you for doing what you can to help turn this country around.

Sincerely,

Jim DeMint
United States Senator

Sept. 11, 2012: Come to Pamela Geller's Free Speech SION event at the UN Plaza in New York City  

SION to Hold International Congress and Media Workshop to Address Islamic Supremacist War Against Free Speech

The world's leading forces for freedom will be there. There is a suggested contribution of $36 per person.  Register now, space is limited. September 11, 2012, UN Plaza Millenium Hotel, 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm.

Email:  PamelaGeller@gmail.com to register.

NEW YORK: The first session of the International Freedom Defense Congress, the operating body of the human rights organization Stop Islamization of Nations (SION), will be held in New York on September 11, 2012. The principal focus of the Congress will be a media workshop pertaining to Islamic supremacist attempts to restrict the freedom of speech in the free world, and the smear campaigns against freedom fighters in newspapers and media institutions in the West.

"The objective of this first-of-its-kind workshop is to develop media-related mechanisms to address the smear campaigns," SION said in a statement. It will also address the media's double standard regarding Islam and other religions, as epitomized in March 2012 by the New York Times' running of an anti-Catholic smear ad and rejection of a SION ad telling the truth about Islamic jihad.

It said the workshop will discuss at length the reasons behind and the results of the Western media's offensive campaigns against freedom of speech and the truth about Islam, jihad, Islamic supremacism and Muslims, which it added still occur from time to time.

"The workshop will represent a quantum leap in media action, as it discusses, beyond rhetoric, the practical steps to address the phenomenon of the Islamic war against free speech," SION President Pamela Geller said.  Fighting Back in the War on Free Speech Pamela Geller, March 18, 2012

Freedom fighters from all over the globe, journalists, intellectuals and academicians will be among the participants in the workshop, which will consist of brainstorming sessions to develop mechanisms for cooperation with external partners, and to develop an action plan to address the phenomenon of the Islamic war against free speech.

The organization noted that the workshop is of particular importance as it is the first ever to address the implications of Resolution 16/18 of the United Nations Human Rights Council, the stated goal of which is to "combat intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatisation of, discrimination, incitement to violence, and violence against persons based on religion or belief," but which is actually designed to restrict truthful speech about Islamic supremacism and jihad, so as to render the West mute and defenseless before the advancing threat of jihad and Sharia.

Resolution 16/18, which was adopted by the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva in March 2011, was backed by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the most recent Istanbul Process Conference in Washington in December.

This is widely viewed as a significant step toward furthering OIC efforts to destroy the freedom of speech and impose Sharia blasphemy laws on the free world.

"We are holding this Congress on the eleventh anniversary of the day jihad came to America in order to strike a blow for freedom," Geller said.

SION President Geller is the author of Stop Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance (WND Books) and The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War On America (Simon & Schuster). SION Vice President is the acclaimed author and Islam expert, Robert Spencer, author of the New York Times bestsellers, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) and The Truth About Muhammad (both Regnery).

The SION Board of Advisers also includes Oskar Freysinger, a Swiss Parliamentarian and member of the Swiss People's Party (SVP), who won international renown for his leadership of the successful campaign against the construction of minarets in Switzerland; Cliff Kincaid, editor of Accuracy in Media (AIM) and a leader of the struggle to keep the jihadist propaganda network Al-Jazeera off American airwaves; Dr. Ashraf Rameleh, President of Voice of the Copts, an international organization standing up for the human rights of Coptic Christians and all religious minorities against religious bigotry and intolerance; Dr. Ali Sina, the renowned ex-Muslim author and founder of FaithFreedom.org; Dr. Wafa Sultan, the ex-Muslim human rights activist and author; the German pro-freedom activist Stefan Herre of Politically Incorrect; the Israeli author Dr. Mordechai Kedar; the Hindu human rights activist Babu Suseelan; Anders Gravers of Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE); and Canadian publisher and free speech defender Ezra Levant.

Speakers at SION's International Freedom Defense Congress will include Kedar, Rameleh, Sina, Kincaid, and Gravers, as well as Danish free speech advocate Lars Hedegaard; Italian human rights activists Magdi Christiano Allam and Valentina Colombo; English politician and freedom fighter Paul Weston; and renowned Muhammad cartoonist Lars Vilks. More speakers will be announced shortly.

It is my privilege to invite you to a special event featuring Brigitte Gabriel, Founder and President of ACT! for America. This event is free and open to the public and will be held at the following:    

Ms. Gabriel will speak on the rise of Islamic radicalism in your community and in our nation. Her story of survival as a persecuted Christian living in a bomb shelter for 7 years will have you captivated and inspired! She will share how the events of 9/11 compelled her to start ACT! for America, the largest national security grassroots organization in the U.S.

The events over the past eighteen months have been a sobering wake-up call to America. Without question, the threats radical Islam poses to America have increased.

Brigitte will discuss these threats to our security and our freedoms, such as...

 SMART METER ALERT!

Dear Patriots,   

Peco has stopped installing Smart Meters which are part of UN Agenda 21 (Sustainable Development).  If you have had a Smart Meter installed on your home, you should immediately call Peco and tell them to remove it.  These fires have been reported in other states after the meters were installed.

http://www.myfoxphilly.com/story/19289039/peco-halts-smart-meter-installation-program#.UCxNmtghRs1.facebook

For those that have already had the Smart Meter installed on their home, Peco will return, test the meter, and place a warning sign on the meter with a device that should a fire start, the meter will shut off.  New reports are that Peco has switched overnight to another provider for these meters, assuring the public that these will be safe. Are we to trust this company, the same one that put fire hazards on 186,000 homes in PA? 

Now is the time to act!  The ball is in our court.  I will be trying to go up to Harrisburg in September to push to get legislation out of committee.  Maybe we are being given time to stop part of UN agenda 21.

Call PECO and tell them no to the "new technology" meters. 

Thank you.

The Republican War On Chairs: We Are All Chairs Now! 

The entire Progdom is up in arms since the Chair Wars started with Clint Eastwood's unprovoked attack on an innocent chair at the RNC. Instead of acting as a policy expert like all the Prog actors do, Mr. Eastwood presumed to act as an actor and delivered an acting performance. What a bizarre idea!

Unbeknownst to Eastwood, that was actually the 5th or the 6th most interesting chair in the room. It had enough capacity to seat not just our invisible president, but also millions of jobs that had been saved or created, as well as undocumented voters, necroproxies, and all the fake Twitter followers.

Dear Friends,

We have 63 days left to stop the American Nation from becoming the Obama Nation.

If we give this president four more years, he will finish the job of remolding America into a hard-core keynesian state resembling some of the most economically dependent

nations in Europe--in particular--Greece and Spain.

We do not have to travel down this road.  We can change the course.  You can help steer America in the right direction. 

If you want an America where free enterprise is respected and ObamaCare is repealed,

and not the other way, stay in the area this summer & fall .  Volunteer at Republican Victory Centers. 

Attend local events promoting our region's Republican Congressional candidates--including our tri-state Republican US Senate candidates--Tom Smith (PA), Joe Kyrillas (NJ), and Kevin Wade (DE).

What Is America's Role In the World?
The United States' foreign policy exists, first and foremost, to defend the independence and interests of its people. But America also has a unique responsibility to uphold and advance the universal principles of liberty upon which it was founded. This volume provides insight into how the Founders' understanding of liberty shaped their vision for foreign policy. Read More  

How Must America Practice Diplomacy?
This volume in the Understanding America series examines how the principles of liberty that define America must also guide its practice of diplomacy. Read More  

How Must America Balance Security and Liberty?
America's Founders recognized that the nation's security and its peoples' liberty are not opposed. Rather, security is necessary for the flourishing of liberty. Since its founding, America has promoted security and protected liberty by pursuing policies that strengthen both.

The Great Betrayal: Obama's Wars and the War in Iraq

Jul 18th, 2012 

Daniel Greenfield's new Freedom Center pamphlet, The Great Betrayal: Obama's Wars and the War in Iraq, is an effort to understand the politics of the "war on terror" which has now reached a final punctuation point with the U.S. decision to speed its withdrawal from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan (where success was once deemed so crucial to national security), and to practice an incoherent form of regime change in Libya while ignoring more serious threats in Syria and Iran.

The war on terror began, Greenfield shows, as an admirable bipartisan commitment soon after the tragedy of 9/11-an effort to transcend party lines not only to punish those who attacked our country but also to interrupt planning for further attacks and try to stop the international spread of the Islamic jihad behind the attacks. But the Democratic Party, with the honorable exception of a few individuals like Richard Gephardt and Joe Lieberman, turned its back on a war soon after authorizing it, and did so at a time when American troops were facing hostile enemy fire.

Although Senate Democrats on the intelligence oversight committee had been granted access to every piece of data available to the White House, they now accused President Bush of tricking them to secure their approval. In fact, their own about-face was entirely dictated by political considerations when a Sixties antiwar activist, Howard Dean, surged ahead in the Democratic primary polls and it appeared for a moment that Americans were on the side of retreat and capitulation.

Although regime change in Iraq had been official U.S. policy since Bill Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, Democratic senators such as John Kerry who only months earlier had supported the war effort now launched demoralizing attacks on the American commander-in-chief and his troops in the field, stigmatizing it as "the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time." If the truth was the first casualty of their war against the Bush administration, the second casualty was the principle of bi-partisanship that had guided foreign policy debates throughout the Cold War, the principle that "politics stops at the water's edge." Now partisan politics trumped security.

The unrestrained attacks on the Iraq War as illegal and unjustified went largely unanswered by Republicans who failed to call the Democratic saboteurs of the nation's war effort to account or to decry the risk their cynical attacks posed to American servicemen and women on the battlefield. As Greenfield demonstrates, the Democrats' partisanship had consequences not only in Iraq but elsewhere in the region: the paralysis that resulted from their "anti-war" campaign led straight to the destruction of Lebanon and the installation of a terrorist army, Hezbollah, there as a regime within a regime. And it emboldened an overtly Islamofascist regime in Iran not only to supply the IEDs responsible for most of our troop fatalities in Iraq but also to proceed with a nuclear program aimed directly at Israel and the West.

The Great Betrayal shows that Barack Obama's abandonment of Iraq is a betrayal of all the Americans and Iraqis who gave their lives to establish freedom in that country. And the result of his policies in Afghanistan has been as disastrous. While the President presented his rationale for pursuing war there as the pursuit of al-Qaeda, after abandoning his "surge" (which resulted in two thirds of all America's Afghan casualties there and the resurgence of the Taliban allies of al-Qaeda), he blithely prepared for withdrawal as if national objectives had been met.

"Losing our Sons": Documentary looks at domestic Islamic radicalization and jihadization

Charles Jacobs at Americans for Peace and Tolerance announced today the release of a trailer for their upcoming documentary, "Losing Our Sons", featuring Melvin Bledsoe - father of domestic terrorist Carlos Bledsoe aka Abdulhakim Mohamed who gunned down US Army recruiter Pvt. William Long at an Army-Navy recruiting center in Little Rock, Arkansas in June 2009. Melvin Bledsoe testified at the House Homeland Security Committee hearing earlier this month.

The upcoming documentary discusses how Bledsoe was radicalized by the Muslim Student Association in Tennessee and sent to terrorist training in Yemen with the written recommendation of the imam of a Nashville mosque. It also discusses how the agents of radicalization in the Nashville Muslim community have been aided by collaborators in the establishment media, politics and the so-called "interfaith" community.

Victory Center" on Facebook

-Gabriel Malor

Last week I had the opportunity to get a sneak-peek at the RNC's new Facebook application. Designed, in the words of one RNC staffer to "take our message where the people are," the Social Victory Center app will, among other things, hook users up with campaign news targeted based on their location and preferences (which Facebook already knows, of course), let users join volunteer efforts, distribute voter registration forms, and provide an online phone bank, all without leaving the Facebook website. It will also, if users wish, put those activities on the user's Facebook wall, letting their friends see what they're up to and, hopefully, encouraging them to join in.

It's an attempt to leverage Facebook's popularity in a new way and, at the moment, the Democrats have nothing like it. The Social Victory Center was unveiled to the public yesterday, so if you're on Facebook, check it out. As the general election ramps up, check back for volunteer activities as they're added. Also, like I did in 2008, I'll be pushing online phone banking in the final weeks of the election, only this time the RNC will have done the heavy-lifting that the McCain team wasn't too keen on.

RedState Morning Briefing

For September 4, 2012

1. Forward Back Across the Bridge to the 21st Century

Today, in Charlotte, NC, the Democrats will convene their convention to re-nominate Barack Obama as President of the United States. There are two ironies they will do their best to ignore. First, four years after a concerted effort to paint Bill Clinton as a racist, Barack Obama depends on Bill Clinton's presence and blessings to secure his re-election. Second, and most importantly, after a several month effort to claim the Republicans wants to go backwards, the Democrats will rely on a bunch of former Governors and a President elected two decades ago promising a bridge to the 21st century to make a case for their slogan "Forward".

Consider that for a minute.

2. Obama's Attempt to Ignore the Last 4 Years Includes Recycling 2008 Words, Phrases, and Promises

The lengths to which the Obama campaign is going to pretend that the last four years simply didn't happen (or, in the words of Ezra Klein's headline writer, to act as though Mitt "Romney's policies are the incumbent," rather than the sitting President of the United States) have been laughable in their extremity. Part of the effort to recreate 2008 in the current election cycle, as a new ad from the RNC shows, is to simply recycle the same words, phrases, and promises then-candidate Obama made four years ago - before his Carteresque term as President.

3. Romney leads in North Carolina as Democrat convention begins

As the delegates to the Democrat Convention gather in Charlotte, North Carolina, they are greeted with a discouraging headline in the Charlotte Observer, "As DNC begins, Romney Gains in N.C."

The headline is a reference to the new Elon University/Charlotte Observer Poll shows the GOP presidential candidate leading President Barack Obama 47 percent to 43 percent among likely voters in North Carolina.

The poll found the women vote almost evenly split on their support 45 percent for Obama 44 percent Romney. So much for the gender gap.

The respondents said Romney would do a better job of handling the economy 52 percent to 39 percent and more said that Romney more closely shares their values 48 percent to 45 percent.

The economy/jobs is the most important issue for likely North Carolina voters.

The poll was conducted August 25-30, 2012, and has a margin of error of 3 percent.

4. Union Bosses Keeping [Mostly] Low Profiles At DNC's Union-Free Convention

Union bosses have made such a big deal about being upset with the DNC's pick of Charlotte, North Carolina for its convention (even going so far as having an August 'shadow convention') that, while they may be in the state for the Barack Obama nomination celebration, they're making every effort to make it look like they're absent.

Adding insult to injury, not only is North Carolina the least unionized state in the nation, the stadium where Barack Obama is giving his acceptance speech was built by entirely union-free labor.

Jumah event removed from DNC web site calendar.

Florida Family Association sent out an email alert on August 29, 2012 which reported the following two sub headlines:  DNC approves Jumah for 20,000 Muslims. RNC adopts anti-Sharia plank at convention.  The DNC portion of the email alert is posted below.

The email alert and Floridafamily.org web site provided a link to the DNC web site calendar of events which at that time and up until yesterday afternoon included the Juma event.  However, the Juma event has been removed from the DNC web site calendar.  A supporter also took note of this change and submitted the following email to Florida Family Association.

Hi,

I thought you may be interested to know that.

"Jumma at the DNC" has just been removed from the DNC website! It was still there 5.30 PM on 8/30/2012 and at 6.30 PM it was gone! I looked everywhere but it's not listed anymore.

Looks like the DNC are getting cold feet!

This is a great victory!

KEEP THE PRESSURE UP!

Rob

*********************************

Is it possible the DNC felt pressure to remove this even from the calendar?  And if so what pressure?

August 29, 2012 email alert   

"The Democratic National Convention is endorsing a political platform for the organizers of a program called the "Jumah at the DNC." It begins with a jummah prayer on Friday, August 31 and ends on September 2,

On the surface it appears that the event, organized by the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs (BIMA), is cultural fun for the whole family whose only political focus is Muslims' right to assembly, but it is much more than that.

The DNC lists the assembly as an "official function" and claims that the leaders of the program are typical of the DNC community. The group is hardly "mainstream," being represented by Siraj Wahhaj, who will be the "Grand Imam" for the gathering."

• At a solidarity speech in 1995, Wahhaj informed the world that it was his "duty and our duty as Muslims to replace the U.S. Constitution with the Quran."
• On another occasion Wahhaj commented, "if only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate."
• At another time he warned the United States that it is doomed to fall unless it "accepts the Islamic agenda."
• And finally, this: "You know what this country (USA) is? It's a garbage can. It's filthy."

Moderate? You be the judge. And his appearance in Charlotte is endorsed by the DNC.

What is so disheartening about the so-called "Jumah at the DNC" is that it has thus far gone unnoticed or ignored by the mainstream press.

The Republican Party's platform committee adopted a plank without argument or debate on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 which embraces American Laws for American Courts legislation that prohibits courts from considering foreign laws, including Sharia law.  The platform was sponsored by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has called on the GOP to reject what they call an "anti-Islam platform."  

And of course the far leftist media like The Chicago Tribune, NewJersey.com and the Kansas City Star took deep shots at patriotic Americans' concern regarding the threat Sharia law poses to the United States. 

Truly, Islamists' best friends are found in America's mainstream media and Democratic party.

RJC Condemns California Democratic Party Chairman's 'Goebbels' Smear Against GOP 

Washington, D.C. (September 3, 2012) -- The Republican Jewish Coalition today condemned California Democratic Party Chairman John Burton for likening Republicans to infamous Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels and urged the party's elected leaders to repudiate the offensive remarks.

RJC Executive Director Matthew Brooks said,

"John Burton ought to know better than to bring the Nazis and their victims into our current political debates, but apparently the offense such remarks cause to Holocaust survivors and their families are of less concern to him than the prospect of partisan gain.

"Jewish Americans expect more from political leaders and it is incumbent on elected Democrats, starting with Governor Brown, Senator Feinstein and Senator Boxer, to unequivocally reject Burton's outrageous and offensive remarks."

Muslims Try to Rewrite Themselves Into America's History

posted on September 3, 2012 by Tad Cronn

The Jumah at the DNC event went off Friday without a hitch, but the Democratic leadership and liberal media are still trying to squirm out of acknowledging that the DNC ever sanctioned the program, which featured a number of Islamist extremists.

Although there is a lot of spin surrounding the event, the fact remains that the leaders of the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs claim the DNC reached out to them and invited their group to host the two-hour opening event Friday, as well as the officially sanctioned Islamic Regal Dinner that night.

The event appeared on the official Charlotte in 2012 website until it was removed after the radical nature of BIMA got out. The event was attended by hundreds, rather than the 20,000 predicted.

Among the speakers at the event were a retired Muslim Army chaplain who was charged with sedition but not prosecuted, and an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

But the issue that really rankles many people is BIMA's support of theories about the Muslim influence on American history, including the notion that a Muslim crew of explorers sailed up the Mississippi River in the 12th century and established a colony that entitles Muslims to call themselves indigenous Americans.

Real Native Americans are not pleased.

Prized Guests Slam Iranian Policies

International Conference Seen as Showcase for Tehran Turns Sour as Egypt's Leader, U.N. Chief Criticize Host's Stances

Agence France-Presse/Getty Images

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad greets President Mohammed Morsi of Egypt in Tehran Thursday. (A Judas Kiss Moment if ever there was - Dave)

By FARNAZ FASSIHI August 30, 2012

BEIRUT-Two of Iran's honored guests at the official opening of an international conference intended by Tehran to showcase its global stature slammed the Islamic Republic's policies on Syria, Iran's top ally in the region, and Israel, its No. 1 foe.

Egypt's President Mohammed Morsi, in a speech to the annual meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement, which brought leaders of more than 120 nations to Iran, caused a stir by calling Syria's regime oppressive and devoid of legitimacy.

The comment was a direct rebuke to Iran, which is aiding the Syrian leadership in its military crackdown against rebels.  "The bloodshed in Syria is the responsibility of all of us and will not stop until there is real intervention to stop it. The Syrian crisis is bleeding our hearts," Mr. Morsi said, in his first foreign-policy speech at an international venue.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also blamed Syria's regime for reacting to peaceful protests with "ruthless force," and called on the regime to take responsibility for ending the violence.

Syria and Israel make the backbone of Tehran's foreign policy. Mr. Ban also offered harsh words for Iran's stand toward Israel. "I strongly reject threats by any member state to destroy another or outrageous attempts to deny historical facts such as the Holocaust," he said in his speech at the conference.

Mr. Ban also called on Iran to cooperate more openly with the international community on its nuclear program and comply with U.N. Security Council resolutions. On Wednesday, he criticized Iran's human-rights record, and brought up the issue in a meeting with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, sitting nearby during the speeches, frowned as he listened to the speeches by Messrs. Morsi and Ban. Mr. Ahmadinejad has threatened Israel and questioned accounts of the Holocaust.  "We should all express our full support to the struggle of those who are demanding freedom and justice in Syria." Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi

The conference, which began with meetings on Sunday and closes Friday, offered Iran an opportunity to mend its image as an isolated and sanctioned country. But problems arose once the guests arrived, as Iran tried to script the conference to its own advantage only to have dignitaries stray from its narrative.

Iranian media, which had touted Mr. Morsi's visit as a diplomatic coup that could signal a shift in improving Egypt-Iran relations, censored his speech. The simultaneous interpreter at the conference first stumbled then refrained from translating Mr. Morsi's comments on Syria.

Only a few Iranian websites published the full speech. One called Mr. Morsi an "immature and new diplomat." Iran and Egypt haven't had diplomatic relations since Iran's Islamic Revolution in 1979. "The bloodshed in Syria is the responsibility of all of us and will not stop until there is real intervention to stop it.'" Mr. Morsi

Syria's delegation walked out of the conference room during the speech. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem, in an interview with Iran's Arabic news channel Al Alam, said Mr. Morsi had violated the summit's principles by meddling in another country's affairs.

Mr. Morsi also praised the four caliphs of Sunni Islam at the start of his speech, an unusual evocation by an Arab leader. Iranians interpreted the comments as a jab at the Islamic Republic, a Shiite theocracy that doesn't recognize the first three caliphs as legitimate

Between the Muslim woman who is suing Disney over her insistence on wearing Islamic head garb on the job, the Muslim Wegmans cashiers who refuse to check out pork products, the Minneapolis taxi drivers who refused to drive people carrying bottles of alcohol, and now Maj. Nidal Hasan's ridiculous claim that he refuses to shave his beard because his religion requires it, even though he carried out his murderous suicide mission without one, we must ask the question: WHEN WILL WE STOP DEFERRING TO THESE CHARLATANS WHO ONLY TROT OUT ISLAMIC REQUIREMENTS WHEN IT SERVES TO PUBLICLY TRUMP SECULAR SOCIETY? 

There are plenty of Muslim women who do not cover their heads, plenty of Muslim taxi drivers who carry people with bottles of alcohol (especially because Muslims are only forbidden to DRINK alcohol), and plenty of clean-shaven Muslims, and yet Muslims expect secular society to override rules made for EVERYONE in order to demonstrate Islam's supremacy.  Tactics such as these are all described in the Reliance of the Traveller's section on Jihad, located on page 599 of the PDF link provided in Saturday's "Super Short-Course on Islamic Law" email.

It's time to stop playing their games.  Really.  It's all BS.

In the case of Hasan, his refusal to shave his beard is just another one of his delaying tactics, which has already managed to postpone his trial for years.  What he reveals is not his own piety, but his contempt for American justice and his manipulation of our society's desire to treat all religions with respect.  If this is what his religion teaches him to do, it's not worthy of respect.

Dave

PS: Fellow-patriot Dorrie O'Brian replied to Saturday's "Super Short-Course on Islamic Law" email and suggested that people who prefer to read physical books can buy Reliance of the Traveller from Amazon.com for about $22 used àhttp://www.amazon.com/Reliance-Traveller-Classic-Manual-Islamic/dp/0915957728/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1346548204&sr=1-1&keywords=reliance+of+the+traveller . The only caution I would add is to beware of buying the book new.  Doing so would send money back to the publisher, and if you're like me, the only way an Islamist would ever get a nickel from you is by prying it from your cold dead hands.  You may also want to make sure that the seller of the used book doesn't have an Islamic name or motif.

Hood Shooting Suspect Fights for Beard

Aug 31, 2012 Associated Press| by Angela K. Brown

FORT HOOD, Texas -- The U.S. Army psychiatrist charged in a deadly shooting rampage told a judge Thursday that he grew a beard because his Muslim faith requires it, not as a show of disrespect.

Maj. Nidal Hasan spoke in court for the first time since showing up with a beard in violation of Army regulations in June. The judge, Col. Gregory Gross, has threatened to have him forcibly shaved. His lawyers argue that shaving would violate his religious freedoms.

"In the name of almighty Allah, I am a Muslim," Hasan said. "I believe my religion requires me to wear a beard."

Hasan faces the death penalty if convicted in the November 2009 attack that killed 13 and wounded more than two dozen at a Texas Army post.

The pretrial hearing was the first since a military appeals court stopped proceedings Aug. 15 to consider the dispute over Hasan's beard. Gross held Hasan in contempt of court and fined him $1,000 for a sixth time Thursday, again sending him to a nearby room to watch the proceedings on closed-circuit television.

"I am not trying to disrespect your authority as a judge," Hasan said before his latest removal. "When I stand before God, I am individually responsible for my actions," he said, apparently referring to the beard.

But Gross said he will order a forcible shaving next week. According to military regulations, soldiers who disobey orders to be clean-shaven can be forcibly shaved. Gross has said he wants Hasan in the courtroom during the court-martial to prevent a possible appeal over the beard if Hasan is convicted.

An order for forcible shaving will delay the case again because Hasan's attorneys can appeal before a decision is made on whether he'll be forcibly shaved, the judge said.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces ruled that Hasan's appeal was premature because Gross has not issued a definitive order for Hasan to be forcibly shaved.

Hasan's attorneys have said Hasan wouldn't shave because he had a premonition that his death is imminent, and doesn't want to die beardless because he believes not having one is a sin. Prosecutors have said they don't believe that religion is Hasan's motive, noting he was clean-shaven at the time of the shootings.

U.S. suspends training for some Afghan recruits after 'insider' attacks

By NBC News staff September 2, 2012

KABUL, Afghanistan -- United States military officials have suspended the training of Afghan Local Police (ALP) in the wake of a deadly series of so-called 'green on blue' attacks by Afghan soldiers and police on their international allies.

In a statement late Saturday, Col. Thomas Collins, US Forces Afghanistan spokesperson, said the training has been put on hold in order to carry out intensified vetting procedures on new recruits, and 16,000 existing ALP recruits will be re-vetted.

"While we have full trust and confidence in our Afghan partners, we believe this is a necessary step to validate our vetting process and ensure the quality indicative of Afghan Local Police," he said in the statement.

...Forty-five allied troops have been killed in 34 'insider' attacks this year alone. The Afghan army is implicated in 19 of those attacks, but their training will not be halted.

 Highlights From the RNC

August 31, 2012  

"Unequivocal in principle, reasonable in manner, we shall be able I hope to do a great deal of good to the cause of freedom & harmony." --Thomas Jefferson

In a hurricane-shortened week in Tampa, the Republican National Convention featured the theme of "We Built It," a rebuttal to Barack Obama's infamous admonition that "you didn't build that." Speaker after speaker went to the heart of a matter that is hardly "petty," as some leftists have charged. Barack Obama's remarks last month in Roanoke, Virginia, were unscripted, and thus revealed the deep-seated contempt he has for America's innovators, entrepreneurs and job creators. This great nation was built from the ground up, and Republicans want voters to remember that in November.

To bolster that message, the convention hall featured a debt clock showing the shockingly fast pace at which our national debt approached and exceeded $16 trillion. Of course, this is thanks to the reckless "stimulus" spending of Democrats, but Republicans bear plenty of blame, as well. Spendthrift policies have wrought economic damage far outstripping anything done by Hurricane Isaac, or even Katrina seven years ago, which the media fondly recollected this week at every opportunity. Headline unemployment is still over 8 percent -- tens of millions of Americans are out of work or underemployed and businesses simply aren't hiring as the Left's carefully designed "fiscal cliff" approaches. Nearly half a trillion in scheduled tax increases will have that effect. Call it Hurricane Barack, if you will.

The Republican plan is to stop, limit and even roll back that government growth, as well as halt the pending tax increases -- even to lower them further -- all of which is exactly what the nation needs to enjoy an actual, Reaganesque, recovery.

With that said, here are a few of our favorite quotes from a handful of the numerous speeches.

Mitt Romney: "How many days have you woken up feeling that something really special was happening in America? Many of you felt that way on Election Day four years ago. Hope and Change had a powerful appeal. But tonight I'd ask a simple question: If you felt that excitement when you voted for Barack Obama, shouldn't you feel that way now that he's President Obama?"

"The president has disappointed America because he hasn't led America in the right direction. He took office without the basic qualification that most Americans have and one that was essential to his task. He had almost no experience working in a business. Jobs to him are about government."

"The centerpiece of the president's entire re-election campaign is attacking success. Is it any wonder that someone who attacks success has led the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression? In America, we celebrate success, we don't apologize for it."

Paul Ryan: "When I was waiting tables, washing dishes, or mowing lawns for money, I never thought of myself as stuck in some station in life. I was on my own path, my own journey, an American journey where I could think for myself, decide for myself, define happiness for myself. That's what we do in this country. That's the American Dream. That's freedom, and I'll take it any day over the supervision and sanctimony of the central planners."

"College graduates should not have to live out their 20s in their childhood bedrooms, staring up at fading Obama posters and wondering when they can move out and get going with life."

"Sometimes even presidents need reminding that our rights come from nature and God, and not from government."

Friday Afternoon Roundup - And Now the News 

Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog 9 Comments 

 

BUT FIRST A LITTLE NEWS

I have been asked to run the Freedom Center's blog "The Point" at Front Page Magazine. You can see the latest stories from "The Point" to the right of you. Hopefully you'll click on some of them for a closer look.

"The Point" will be something like the roundups, but it will have more of a point to it and there will be plenty of overlaps. And Be'ezrat Hashem it will be a way of getting some of the materials you see here out to a larger audience. If you have any suggestions for the future of the Roundup or the Point, the comments are open.

For by Thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I scale a wall. (Psalms 18:30)



THE MACHINE

The most impressive thing about RNC 2012 was the smoothness of the entire thing. If the 2008 RNC stumbled, but ran on enthusiasm, the 2012 edition was a polished frictionless machine, except for one awkward moment with Eastwood, and even that seemed geared to give the critics something petty to pick apart that would not reflect badly on Mitt Romney and the Republican Party.

Mitt Romney is a machine politician, but not a politician of the political machine. He appears to excel at building a smoothly running machine around him. It's not high praise and yet it's not counter to the impression that he gives. It reflects his message that he takes charge and builds things that work.

Behind all the speeches and showpieces, RNC 2012 is a reflection of Romney's whole campaign, it is the precisely calculated work of people who know what they are doing, who don't always get it right, but have ability, ambition and even some guts.

Romney's people went into this understanding that Obama and his allies would run on destroying him as a man, on making him into an ugly caricature, a running joke, a bad human being. And they worked to make that pitch as hard as possible to sell. They knew that the Democrats would focus on the white female vote, so they beat them to it. It's not a new game, Reagan played it too, but it's gone up to a new level.

Some wanted this event to hit Obama much harder. But it hit him hard enough. What it really did was make Romney much harder to hit. Romney's people understand that common sense is on their side and that their mission is to defang the negative attacks from the media that will make people feel bad or guilty about following their common sense. And they did a pretty good job of that tonight.

And the guts kicked in when they picked their battles. It would have made sense for Romney to dodge Bain and for Ryan to avoid Medicare, instead they turned around, picked up both issues and ran on them, and rammed them back into Obama's teeth. It's gutsy, but there's also a common sense element to it. If you're going to get attacked remorselessly on an issue, then you might as well own the issue and use it to send a message to your opponent that the attacks will hurt him as much as you.

That's what RNC 2012 did.

Romney ran in the primaries as the most electable candidate, not by virtue of any special ability, but on determination and competence. RNC 2012 reflected that. It's the work of people who are determined to win and who play hard. That may not be enough, but it's a harder run for his money than Obama got last time around.

Why is the New York Times, Nate Silver apoplectic over a local poll from Michigan?

Sep 03, 2012 06:13 am | Coach Collins

By Kevin "Coach" Collins

 Last week we got a report on a  Mitchell poll from Michigan that has the New York Times swinging off the rafters. The Grey Lady got so apoplectic over the results because they showed Mitt Romney and Barack Obama tied at 47/47 in Michigan.  

Writing his rebuttal to this "outrage" the Times' Nate Silver cited another poll that upon closer review provides virtually the same results.  Silver's new best friends at the Lansing-based EPIC-MRA polling company say Obama leads 49/46 with a 2.6 +/- Margin of Error which is all but the same thing. That the EPIC-MRA poll conducted in July showed Obama leading Romney in Michigan by 48%-42% didn't seem significant enough for to the Times to mention.

In his report the EPIC-MRA pollster Bernie Porn ( yes that's his real name) said Romney leads by 13 points among Independent voters just 48/47 among men and trailed by only ... Continue Reading:Why is the New York Times, Nate Silver apoplectic over a local poll from Michigan?

   Imperial Japan had one of the largest maritime empires in world history.
In 1910, Imperial Japan annexed Korea, and in 1918 took control of Russian ports in Siberia.
In 1937, Imperial Japan's Army killed over 200,000 in Nanking, China. In 1941, over 3,000 Americans died when Imperial Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.
In 1942, over 20,000 Americans and Filipinos died on Bataan's Death March, where starving prisoners were marched 65 miles in heat and jungles to a disease infested camp.
By 1945, over 100,000 died retaking Okinawa and Pacific islands. Democrat President Harry S Truman made the controversial decision August 6, 1945, to drop the Atomic Bomb, which is estimated to have prevented an additional one million casualties on both sides.
On SEPTEMBER 2, 1945, Emperor Hirohito's Imperial forces officially surrendered aboard the U.S.S. Missouri, anchored in Tokyo Bay.
An interesting story occurred after the war ended.

The Democrat National Convention as seen through The Gospel of Saint Mark

Sep 02, 2012 01:07 pm | Coach Collins

By Kevin "Coach" Collins

 By any measure Republicans are more religious than Democrats. By almost 3 to 2 Republicans believe the bible is the word of God.

In short Democrats favor G. O. V. over G. O. D. because G. O. V. tells them that whatever they do is fine as long as they vote Democrat. By contrast G. O. D. has all of these "Thou Shalt nots and Thou Shalts to deal with that mess up a "great weekend." G. O. V.'s "good book" is Us Magazine which is filled with great stories about who is sleeping with whose wife and Barney Frank marrying his boy toy.   G.O.D.'s book is very different but nonetheless descriptive of our everyday as it ought to be.

Speaking of Jesus St. Mark wrote words that are especially powerful in view of the array of representatives of the grotesque who will address the delegates to Democrat National Convention.  He ... Continue Reading:The Democrat National Convention as seen through The Gospel of Saint Mark

To Obama SEAL Team Six's sacrifices were worthy of only a form letter

Sep 01, 2012 06:13 am | Coach Collins

By Jim Emerson, staff writer

Last year American warriors were killed when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter was shot down by the Taliban during combat operations in Afghanistan. The Helicopter was carrying U.S. Navy SEALs to assist an U.S. Army Ranger unit that was under heavy fire from insurgents in the mountainous region of the Wardak province. Their mission was to help capture a senior Taliban leader, but it went terribly wrong. Thirty (30) U.S. troops died that day making it the single largest loss of American troops in the Afghanistan war. The team consisted of U.S. Army Rangers and 17 warriors from Navy Seal Team Six, that same team that killed Osama bin Laden.  None of those killed were involved in that operation.

  Americans were shocked and sadden by the incident and President Barack Obama offered his thoughts and prayers for the Americans killed that day.  In a statement issued at the time, Mr. Obama wrote "Their ... Continue Reading:To Obama SEAL Team Six's sacrifices were worthy of only a form letter

Imprisoned twelve years for preaching without a license from the King, he wrote Pilgrim's Progress, an allegory of a man named Christian fleeing the City of Destruction and directed by Evangelist to follow a narrow path to the City of Zion.

This classic was written by John Bunyan, who died AUGUST 31, 1688.
It was translated into over a hundred languages and found in nearly every colonial American home.

    One of America's greatest generals for capturing Fort Ticonderoga with Ethan Allen and leading the charge at Saratoga, he felt unappreciated, so AUGUST 30, 1780, General Benedict Arnold conspired with British General Clinton to surrender West Point for 20,000 pounds, equivalent to one million dollars today.
The British courier was Major John Andre, who had met Arnold's wife in Philadelphia.
As Andre tried to cross to the British lines, he was searched, found with the blue prints for West Point in his boot and executed.
Arnold escaped on the ship Vulture. George Washington wrote September 26, 1780:

Its discovery affords the most convincing proof that the Liberties of America are the object of divine Protection."

Clinton's old team showing us that Romney is moving toward victory

Aug 30, 2012 01:13 pm | Coach Collins

By Kevin "Coach" Collins Both Dick Morris and James Carville have released polling data that points to a Mitt Romney victory in November. Although they have gone their separate ways, in the 1990s they were both important members of Bill Clinton's successful political machine. While Carville's Democracy Corps has found Barack Obama leading Romney by a slim 49/47 - a two point improvement for Romney over their last poll-, the sample universe over surveys Democrats by 6 points with a D-R-I breakdown of 38/32/28.     There are very positive items here: the 38/32 Republican/Democrat Party identification split sharply contrasts with the 34.9/34 Republican to Democrat split reported by Rasmussen who also reports a 31% Independent identification.     This is important because Democracy Corps's (DC) numbers show Romney enjoys a 15 point lead among Independents, but DC's 28 point Independent sample is 3 points short of Rasmussen's findings. When Obama took the 2008 election by 7 points ... Continue Reading:Clinton's old team showing us that Romney is moving toward victory

The delegates will cheer wildly because he will be changing the subject from the hideous parade of out of step misfits on their speakers list to something NBC can crow about. Carter will be warmly greeted because they think his economic failures make Obamanomics look good.  

When his dreary speech promoting Barack Obama, who will replace him as the worst president in American history, is over they will jump to their feet. The halfwits won't care about  his 18% mortgage rates or blocks long gas lines.  Democrats live in a bizarre fantasy world where failure is cheered and success is mocked.

Carter, the man Democrats will cheer has always been attracted to the worst anti-American underside of the Left. He has/had a warm personal ... Continue Reading:DNC delegates will jump up and cheer Carter's speech believing he makes Obama look good

We Can Change America's Course

Entering the final stretch of the presidential contest, Americans are facing a monumental choice. The American people will decide the direction of government and its role in their lives for the coming years.

The debate in Tampa this week raised a number of issues, including preserving the American dream of working hard to achieve success. The Heritage Foundation has extensive research and policy prescriptions on each of these issues:

Energy: America needs to end energy subsidies and restore a free market in the energy sector. We can and should develop our domestic energy sources in an environmentally responsible way. Go to Energy & Environment

School choice: America's education focus should be our students. The best way to serve the needs of a diverse population is to give families the freedom to choose a school-public, private, charter, or home school-that best fits their children's needs. See where your state stands

Free trade: America needs jobs, and promoting free trade is an excellent way to create high-quality jobs in America. We should have a free flow of goods, services, and investments between democratic nations. Catch up on the U.S. free trade record

The federal budget: Tackling the federal budget is a complex task, but it must be done. Heritage's Saving the American Dream plan details ideas for reforming major entitlement programs, permanently balancing the budget, and reducing the national debt. See the Heritage plan

Tax reform: America's families and businesses need tax relief. A tax cut here and there isn't enough; we need fundamental tax reform. A tax system that is simple and fair would spur economic growth and protect those at the bottom of the income ladder. How it could be done

Repealing Obamacare: Obamacare doesn't stop with government intrusion into your relationship with your doctor. It also raises taxes, adds to the U.S. deficit, and attacks religious and personal freedoms. Top 5 Reasons to Repeal Obamacare

Reforming Medicare: Medicare reform is not an option-it is a necessity. To keep the program working for those it is designed to help, we should give seniors more control over their health care decisions and guarantee better access to quality care. The way forward for Medicare

Next week, the debate will continue in Charlotte, and more policy issues may enter the mix.

There's no way to predict how the election will turn out. But as Heritage's Matt Spalding has written, "it will be a turning point in American history: Either our leaders will guide the country even further along the road to 'progressivism' or they will begin a long, slow turn back toward the principles of the American Founding."

"The federal government has acquired an all but unquestioned dominance over virtually every area of American life," Spalding says. "It acts without constitutional limits and is restricted only by expediency, political will, and (less and less) budget constraints."

The Heritage Foundation recently published Changing America's Course, which gives our political leaders recommendations on how to stay within the limits of the Constitution.

To put America on a path toward preserving and growing freedom, Spalding says, "The first step is to reduce the size and scope of government and unleash the engines of economic productivity and the institutions of cultural renewal."

It is possible to change America's course.
