Obama Releases Message to Arab Forum on 9/11
Breitbart | by Joel B. Pollak | 9/11/2012
Not only is Barack Obama violating his pledge not to campaign on 9/11, but he is also using the day to issue greetings to the Arab Forum on Asset Recovery, seemingly oblivious to the importance and solemnity of the day, as well as the context of his message.
Obama offers thanks to the Emir of Qatar--showboating some rather halting Arabic skills in addressing "His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani"--and praising the inspiring democratic example of the Arab Spring, which happened to leave the absolute monarchy of Qatar untouched.
He also offers support for his envoys, including Attorney General Eric Holder, who is attending the Arab Forum conference as the chief U.S. representative. The Arab Forum's goal is to recover assets stolen by formerly autocratic regimes, including Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya. (But not Qatar.)
The video, posted on the White House YouTube channel today, makes no mention of 9/11, the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, or the role of Qatar-based Al Jazeera in broadcasting radical anti-American propaganda. And while offering support for democratic change, Obama neglects to ask the Emir to step aside.
Ironically, Obama caused a scandal last year when CBS News caught him criticizing the Emir of Qatar after reporters had left a fundraiser in Chicago: "He is a big booster, a big promoter of democracy all throughout the Middle East...He himself is not reforming significantly. There is no big move towards democracy in Qatar."
Obama has evidently chosen to make up for the insult--by insulting fellow Americans on 9/11.

Breaking News
Just as the Morning Briefing was going out, I learned the United States Ambassador to Libya has been killed according to Reuters and other news services. The violence in Benghazi is chaotic right now, but a Libyan official claims the Ambassador and three other Embassy staffers have been killed.
I couldn't recall the Briefing to update it, but I wanted to let you know as soon as I learned. Here is the latest information from Reuters. Our prayers are with the families of the victims.
Sincerely yours, Erick Erickson Editor,RedState.com

A new app called "In Obama's own words" is great. Right now it is only for the iPhone. If you are wanting for someone to hear something Obama said that really is awful for our country, and he has said a lot, this app is what you need on your iPhone. It is only $.99. It is well worth it. It is him talking and saying these things that other people can hear when you press the play button. Pass this information on. The guy who made this is had so many requests to make it for other popular cell phones now. He is just a great patriot who is a great computer nerd and did this after hundreds of hours of work on it.

September 11, 2012
Dear Members and Friends,
On this 911 Anniversary date, we pray for all the victims of the abominable terrorist attacks--and the loved ones they left behind.
We also pray for all Americans as one of the most important elections in our nation's history draws near.
We pray for Governor Mitt Romney, Congressman Paul Ryan, and our other endorsed candidates as they head into the final stretch of the 2012 campaign.
We pray our movement will use our resources--time, energy, money--as effectively as possible in the next few months to win the White House and gain control of both houses of Congress.
In that vein, we humbly suggest that no matter what issue you're asked to rally for--that you hold-off on taking road trips to Harrisburg and/or DC, etc., until after the November election.
The only issue we should be focusing so much time and energy on is defeating Barack Obama!
If a rally's purpose does not have that goal in mind--please don't waste the time. Instead, volunteer at a Victory Office or a local Congressional office. (An office near you can be found @ www.IndependenceHallTeaPartyPAC.com.)
The most effective thing we can do in the present is to use our precious resources for
Get Out the Vote efforts.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't call, fax, or email Governors and/or other elected officials regarding important governmental matters. It just means we don't have the luxury of taking 12 hour trips that won't remove Barack Obama from the White House.
Take healthcare, for example. In Pennsylvania, Rep. Matt Baker's opt out of Obamacare bill, HB 42, has been voted out of committee, but languishes before the full House and the Senate.
If you live in PA, we ask that you call Governor Corbett, House Majority Leader, Mike Turzai, and Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi. Ask them to Enact HB 42
and stop the establishment of Obamacare Health Exchanges in PA.
Governor Tom Corbett: 717.787.2500, 717.772.8284 (fax)
State Representative Mike Turzai: 717.772.9943
State Senator Dominic Pileggi: 717.787.4712
Also, call your local State Senator and State Representative with the same message.
To find contact numbers for your local PA legislators, visit: www.legis.state.pa.us/.
(When contacting your elected officials, please let them know you're with
Independence Hall Tea Party. There is strength in numbers.)
Many thanks!
On behalf of the PAC Board,
Don Adams

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?
The Senate Conservatives Fund has endorsed eight conservative candidates who will help strip Harry Reid of control of the Senate and fight the liberal policies that are bankrupting our country.
 | 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. So if you want to do something really meaningful and effective to save our country, please support the Senate Conservatives Fund and its endorsed candidates TODAY.
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 P.S. If we're going to save America, we must fire Harry Reid and change the United States Senate. Without a conservative Senate, we'll never stop the massive spending, bailouts, and debt that are destroying this great country.

60 Plus "LET'S DO BETTER" TOUR
PATIENT CENTERED AFFORDABLE REFORM
The "Let's Do Better" bus tour will visit with seniors in their communities to discuss their reaction to the controversial health reform care bill passed in 2010. This legislation, which remains unpopular with seniors, cuts Medicare, cripples Medicare Advantage, establishes a "Medicare IRS", and generally provides for a bureaucratic takeover of important health care decisions - all unpopular with seniors.
The tour is a project of the 60 Plus Association.
Events surrounding the tour will include rallies, health care briefings, meet & greets, and townhall meetings. It will also feature health care experts and advocates, as well as the 60 Plus leadership team of Jim Martin, Amy Frederick, and legendary entertainer Pat Boone - who is the national spokesperson for the seniors group.
60 Plus, founded more than 20 years ago and currently supported by some 7.2 million "senior activists", is often referred to as the conservative alternative to the AARP. The group funded by voluntary donations from over a quarter-million donors and does not accept taxpayer funding, unlike the AARP.
The bus has a replica of its own AARP bumper sticker reproduced in giant letters on the outside of the bus, 'AARP: Association Against Retired Persons.' The side panels read: 'Healthcare Reform: Let's Do Better-Patient Centered, Affordable Reform.'
Yours in Liberty, The Kitchen Table Patriots

Formation of the PA Freedom Coalition Below is a message from Diana and Don Reimer notifying the grassroots of The efforts of the PA Freedom Coalition.
Grassroots organizers from Southeast PA have put together a cohesive plan that will get voters to the polls and educate them on issues around our core values. You know them: Free markets, Fiscally responsible and Constitutionally limited government!
Flyers have been collected and designed along with scripts and door hangers. Now is your chance to volunteer!
Neighborhood walks Dates to sign up are listed below but if you are unable to make it to the sign up location on these dates don't count your self out. Just send us an email and let us know you want to help.
From Diana and Don,
Hi all This GOTV effort is open to anyone that would like to help. They do not need to be part of a tea party or other grassroots group. Please forward to your group email lists also to your friends and neighbors if you feel they might be interested in helping us win in Montgomery County PA Volunteers Needed Philadelphia Tea Party Patriots; i.e.PA Freedom Coalition needs help getting volunteers. The number of volunteers needed are 100 walkers/riders and 30 drivers with vehicles, starting Saturday, 15 September for eight consecutive Saturdays ending on November 3 rd. The volunteers will take part in an organized, planned door-knocking effort specifically to visit with registered Independents in 83 swing precincts in Montgomery county, PA. Three staging meetings for volunteer sign-ups and familiarization training are scheduled: September 4 th, Tuesday 6:00-8:30pm; September 8th and 9 th, Saturday and Sunday, Doors will be open from 1:00 to 6:00pm for individuals to come in and sign up as volunteers. Location address: Towamencin Township Municipal Center, 1090 Troxel Road Lansdale, PA 19446 Purpose and Goal Our main PURPOSE: to get as many registered Independent voters to the polls and to cast their votes on issues and policies, not parties or personalities. Our main GOAL: to achieve a conservative majority in Montgomery county for the 2012 election. A conservative win in the highly populated Montgomery county is HUGH. And this change to a conservative majority in Montgomery County is REAL. We have need of 130 volunteers to take part in this door-knocking effort for eight consecutive Saturdays to swing these 83 precincts. Why We Win In past elections held in Pennsylvania, the proof is in election results - so goes the Southeast, so goes Pennsylvania. And over the past 20 years of elections, Southeast counties; Philadelphia, Montgomery, Chester and Delaware have all gone Blue and Bucks county to Purple. However, in this 2012 election, we will win back Montgomery County for the conservative right. Why is our confidence high? Is it because of our organized, planned door-to door strategy? Yes. Is it our door-knocking plan - specific to targeting registered Independents in 83 swing precincts? Yes. How We Win In these swing precincts in the progressive parts of Montgomery county (closest to Philadelphia, PA), passed elections were won in 83 precincts by Democrats because of 2 votes and not greater than 119 votes; with both parties breaking even throughout the 450 precincts. Our organized, planned action brings our volunteers to visit these 83 precincts (or 1/5 of all precincts) - walk to talk to registered Independents and to place issues-based literature in their hands at their doors; for no-answers, an issue-oriented door hanger is used. We are in the process of finding funding for our project.
Does anyone know a printing company that is friendly to our cause? -- -- Thank you Diana ReimerRegional Support Team - Atlantic Region National Coordinator and PA State Coordinator Tea Party PatriotsNationwide Local Group Coordinator

Thursday, September 27th at 7 pm

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...
- The growing threat of homegrown jihad, with the number of such jihadist plots skyrocketing over the past two years.
- How terrorists are exploiting our porous southern border, often working with drug cartels.
- The increasingly militant-and successful-effort by Islamists worldwide to suppress free speech and criminalize any criticism of Islam.
- The growing Muslim Brotherhood threat and how Islamic sharia law is creeping into America.
- How the history and doctrines of Islam are being misrepresented in public school textbooks and classrooms.

For a taste of what is in store for you, check out Brigitte's speech at one of our recent events: http://www.tennessean.com/VideoNetwork/1271237687001/ACT-for-America-founder-speaks-at-anti-Shariah-conference-in-Nashville You will hear first-hand how ACT! for America is successfully rolling back the tide of radical Islam...how we are winning legislative victories...how we don't have to live in fear or resign ourselves to the inevitability of the threats arrayed against us...and how we will prevail. I encourage you to forward this email to everyone you know. They may forward it to someone they know who may not only attend, but will invite others to come! We are sending this email to our members in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland because we know from prior experience, that many people are not only willing to travel to hear Brigitte speak, but are willing to bring others with them. I know those of you who have heard Brigitte will agree-you don't want to miss this! It will be an event people will be talking about for a long time to come! Invite your friends and come join us in Vineland, NJ! We look forward to seeing you on September 27th. Yours for a Safe and Free America, Guy Rodgers Executive Director

Activate: How to turn the 2012 election from a close call to a mandate
Last night, Glenn focused on the importance of commitment. He was the first to admit, a lot of last night's show was something you had heard before - but it's important to start at the beginning and to make sure you know what you believe before you get put into action. And tonight, Glenn revealed ways for you to really get moving!
Tonight, the focus of the show was "Activate" - and it was all about the election and how you can make sure that one way or another - 2012 is a year for a mandate for or against the progressives. And if you think it doesn't matter just take a look at what is happening right now in Wisconsin. Progressives and unions are doing everything they can to make sure that Walker loses. It's a microcosm to what is happening around the country, and Glenn thought it was so important that he recapped it on tonight's show (in under three minutes!):

Dear Friends,
We have 55 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).

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani Freed!
September 11, 2012
According to the American Center for Law and Justice, Pastor Youcef Nardarkhani has been released from prison!
After languishing in prison for almost three years, under the threat of execution for his faith, Pastor Youcef appeared before the court this past Saturday morning for the charges brought against him. His hearing lasted almost six hours. But in the end, he was released and able to return home to his family. Some of our sources close to the case report that the court acquitted him of apostasy, but charged and convicted him of evangelizing to Muslims. According to these same sources, the court sentenced Pastor Youcef to three years in prison and granted him time served, which means his prison sentence already has been completed. TAKE ACTION 1. Take time today to thank God for answering prayers for Pastor Youcef's freedom and ask for His continued hand of safety over Pastor Youcef and his family. 2. Send an email to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Ask her to offer asylum to Pastor Nadarkhani and his family in the United States. UPDATE! Nickelodeon responds to AFA Action Alert "The offensive comments made by Jason Biggs last week on his personal twitter account do not reflect our company's views or values, and we condemn them. Nickelodeon does not support or condone the use of graphic or vulgar language on any of our platforms "It was our mistake to link from our Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles twitter feed to Jason's personal twitter account, and we quickly corrected our error. We also insisted Jason use better judgment and discretion in public communications while affiliated with our brand." |

When you think of the great presidential debates throughout history, there's Lincoln and Douglas in 1858, Kennedy and Nixon in 1960, and then there is Glenn's new live comedy stage show, Unelectable 2012. Since Glenn couldn't personally visit every city in America on his Unelectable 2012 tour, he has decided that the final show will be simulcast LIVE in movie theaters all over the country, probably one in your town! Watch Glenn drown in his own sweat while you relax in air conditioning, eating nachos and Milk Duds. This is an amazingly funny show, the kind of presidential debate that you'll never actually see because Glenn plays a candidate who tells the truth! Joined by the writers and performers of GBTV's sketch comedy show, The B.S. of A., many are saying it could be the funniest show Glenn's ever done, and it ends with an inspiring message that will have you on your feet full of hope. It's a night of fun the whole family can enjoy! With the election season we've got in front of us, this may be the only "funny-on-purpose" thing related to politics for years to come.

Remembering 9/11 in a Volatile World
Eleven years ago today, terrorists shattered America's sense of safety. Generations who did not remember Pearl Harbor suddenly knew the shock of an attack on U.S. soil.
Brothers, fathers, cousins, wives, and daughters were lost. And more sisters, mothers, husbands and sons would give their lives in the years that followed as they fearlessly joined the fight against terrorism around the world.
Because of the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform-and the hours put in scanning intelligence documents and patrolling the streets by our servants here at home-America has thus far avoided another 9/11. Since that day, at least 51 terrorist plots against the country (that we know of) have been foiled. Terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden has been eliminated.
But as the U.S. withdraws from Iraq and Afghanistan, the world is not becoming a safer place.

QUICK HITS A high-level al-Qaeda leader is believed dead after an attack by Yemeni troops, according to reports. President Obama does not attend his daily presidential intelligence briefings more than half the time, according to a new report. "Major defense contractors have confirmed they'll send tens of thousands of employee layoff warnings shortly before Election Day" because of looming sequestration budget cuts, reports Politico. The Associated Press has obtained new intelligence showing that Iran continues to move forward with its nuclear program. As the Chicago Teachers Union strike enters its second day, Heritage's James Sherk explains how this shows that collective bargaining has no place in government.

Eleven Years Later, We Need a Wiser National Security Strategy
Katie Nielsen | September 11, 2012
One year after its release, the Obama administration's counterterrorism strategy remains flawed.
This strategy seeks to treat terrorism under (1) a law enforcement paradigm that failed to protect Americans from terrorism when it was adopted by the Clinton Administration before 9/11 and (2) a "small footprint" policy for overseas operations.
Today, as we remember the September 11 terrorist attacks, the administration must refocus its efforts in order to keep the homeland secure.
As Heritage Foundation experts Michaela Bendikova, Lisa Curtis and Jessica Zuckerman explain, "The U.S. needs to name its enemies, maintain the nation's commitments abroad, fully fund the military, reach out to allies, and truly defend the home front."
Part of the problem, they argue, lies in diminished defense budgets:
If Congress does not act, on January 2, 2013, across-the-board cuts will go into place. For the defense budget, this means additional half-trillion-dollar cuts on top of the large defense reductions that have already taken place. The Department of Defense has absorbed a $400 billion cut (called "efficiencies") under former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. Current Secretary Leon Panetta has had to cut over $400 billion pursuant to the Budget Control Act of 2011. The defense budget has already absorbed about half of all spending cuts even though it represents less than a fifth of the federal budget. If the Obama Administration continues to weaken U.S. forces, the country will be unable to maintain its superpower status.
Without a well-funded defense, our country will not be able to keep up with our enemies' adaptations and changes in strategy. And we must have a sustainable counterterrorism system that can respond decisively and quickly to any threats to our citizens.
Do you think investments in defense are the best antiterrorist tactic?

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE PEOPLE?
"In the United States, government requires not merely the consent of the governed. It rests ultimately on the ability of the people to govern themselves."
As the presidential election approaches, the choices before our nation have never been more critical. The final volume in the Understanding America series, What is the Role of the People?
, examines the great responsibility the Founders bestowed upon us, the American people.
The Founders built the United States on the fundamental principle that we have the right to govern ourselves. To govern effectively, we must ensure our society's continued virtue and freedom, and pass the inheritance of freedom on to each new generation.
Authored by Heritage Foundation President Edwin Feulner, this final volume in the
Understanding Americaseries explores how and why we must live up to our responsibilities in maintaining the Founders' vision. Learn more in What is the Role of the People?
For the full Understanding America series, visit heritage.org/UnderstandingAmerica. Don't miss these volumes:
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. This volume in the Understanding America series explores the ways in which the Constitution's Framers sought to protect liberty, and shows that the goals of ensuring security and respecting liberty can and must be reconciled.

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.

Hillsdale's New FREE Online Course: The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism
Available to you, your family, your friends, and all Americans. Begins September 4, 2012 - Sign Up TODAY! Dear Linda, In 2012 our Constitution is under assault like never before. Even as I write, self-described Progressives are working to subvert the Constitution to replace it with an ever more expansive and intrusive bureaucratic despotism. My name is Larry Arnn and I'm the President of Hillsdale College. You might have heard Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and other conservative radio hosts talk about Hillsdale College. The ongoing radical Progressive agenda poses a serious threat to the survival of free government in our great nation. At Hillsdale, we believe that a massive, nationwide education project to promote America's founding principles is the only way to defeat this Progressive agenda. As one of our most loyal supporters, you've been an important part of Hillsdale's effort to educate Americans on the importance of preserving our Constitution. That's why I want you to be one of the first to know about our brand new online course:
"The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism."
The first class begins on Tuesday, September 4 and the final one will occur during the week of the national elections in November. I hope you'll sign up immediately.
[Register for this new course right now.]
In this no-cost, ten-week course, you'll learn from members of Hillsdale's politics department faculty - some of the nation's top scholars on the Constitution - about the history of Progressivism and how the movement has slowly chiseled away at our freedoms over the past century. With Hillsdale's outstanding reputation as a leading academic institution, this course offers you a unique educational experience that you won't be able to get anywhere else. Earlier this year Hillsdale offered its first online course on the Constitution. And in doing so it made a major impact with more than 275,000 Americans registering for "Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution." We expect our newest course - The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism - to attract even more attention. And I hope you will be one of the registrants! Here are the ten lecture topics for the course...

[Click here to register for our new online course: "The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism."]
Why is Hillsdale teaching a course on the Progressive movement?
Americans who believe in constitutional liberty and limited government need to understand what they're up against, so Hillsdale designed this course to teach Americans the history of Progressivism and how it continues to work to ignore and dismantle the U.S. Constitution. From its intellectual origins in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, to the massive government expansions under FDR's New Deal and LBJ's Great Society, to the third great expansion of big-government programs during the past three years, Progressives are making our country unrecognizable in comparison to the constitutional republic created by America's Founding Fathers. To understand fully this attack on limited government constitutionalism, and thus to know what is needed to stem the tide, take Hillsdale's new online Constitution course, which starts on September 4 and concludes the week of the national elections in November.
PLEASE GO HERE TO REGISTER NOW.
AND, like all Hillsdale online courses, it will be archived online so that you can refer back to the lectures or access them at your leisure. I have the privilege of delivering the first lecture, "The Founders' Constitution and the Challenge of Progressivism," and the final lecture, "Restoring Constitutional Government." All of the classes will be taught by Hillsdale College professors - the top teachers in their field and the same ones who instruct our students here on Hillsdale's campus.
[Go here to see the course's schedule and register]
I am proud, thanks to your past support and the support of many patriotic Americans, that Hillsdale College is teaching hundreds of thousands of Americans about the Constitution and its principles of liberty. This course is crucial for all Americans who want to understand the dangers confronting the Constitution and its principles today. I hope YOU will join us for this important course! As President of Hillsdale College, I have devoted my life to education, and in particular to teaching about the American founding, its underlying principles, and subsequent constitutional history. The last chapter in that history, covering the past century, tells a story about how the progressive movement has undermined the Constitution and replaced it with a bureaucratic despotism - if we are to recover the Constitution, that story must be understood. That is why we are offering this new course, free, to all Americans.
[Please go here to enroll in our new Constitution Course: "The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism" Today]
The more than 275,000 who signed up for our first constitution course last spring prove that Americans are willing and eager to study and defend the Constitution and the principles that made our country the most free and most prosperous in human history! I hope you will sign up for our new course and help continue this re-awakening of national interest in the Constitution.

"How Did Harry Reid Get Rich?" By Betsy Woodruff Originally posted August 15, 2012
"Try this thought experiment. Imagine that someone grows up in poverty, works his way through law school by holding the night shift as a Capitol Hill policeman, and spends all but two years of his career as a public servant. Now imagine that this person's current salary - and he's at the top of his game - is $193,400. You probably wouldn't expect him to have millions in stocks, bonds, and real estate."

RedState Morning Briefing
For September 12, 2012
1. Violent mobs assault U.S. Embassies in Egypt and Libya on 9-11
While America observed the eleventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. embassies in Cairo, Egypt and Benghazi, Libya were stormed by Islamists angry at a film that is reportedly insulting to Mohammed. The Cairo incident, in which Islamists climbed the embassy walls, tore down and shredded the American flag, and tried to raise an al Qaeda flag in its place, has received the lion's share of the media attention afforded these attacks. However, the more violent incident may be in Libya - which, of course, received American military support last year in its effort to overthrow a brutal dictator. The U.S. embassy in Benghazi was attacked by Islamist militants with RPGs, machine guns, and grenades, and according to reports, clashes between Ansar al-Sharia and U.S. embassy security forces taking place before "Libyan security forces...withdrew as they came under heavy fire." One American has been reported killed so far, with "a number hav[ing] been injured in the clashes."
2. The President and the Arab Fall
Oh if only Islamic radicals would riot over the HHS contraception mandate and gay marriage. If they did, the Administration would fall all over themselves to apologize.
Don't believe me? Consider yesterday's events well chronicled by Jeff Emanuel.
A group in the United States exercised their first amendment rights, which set off rioting yet again among the religion of peace. Egyptians stormed the American Embassy, torn down the American flag, burned it, and replaced it with a black flag used by Al Qaeda. In Libya, our consulate was attacked and an Embassy employee killed. Initial reporters were that the employee was American, but overnight media outlets were backing away from that as a fact.
The Obama Administration's Egyptian Embassy responded by apologizing that someone somewhere exercised their first amendment rights and dared offend the religion of peace. In fact, the Embassy wants it known that no religion should ever ben offended ever. So you Christians who think Jesus is the only path to Heaven, don't say it. It might offend someone.
I guess now Barack Obama will abandon calls for gay marriage and Democrats everywhere will stop calling Christians "bigots" for standing up for their religion. After all, it appears now to be American policy to apologize for offending religious sensibilities.
3. Obama Does Radio Interview on 9-11. No Mention of 9-11.
The headline speaks for itself. I tried hard not to get political today, but sometimes you have to call out insensitivity when you see it.
It started with Joe Biden's reference to Flight 93 as a "bittersweet" memory (though some are giving him the benefit of the doubt on that one) and then it was The Onion joking about 9-11 on their site and twitter feed.
Now it's learned that President Obama appeared on the DJ Laz Morning Show in Miami, FL and, although it was his first opportunity to speak publicly on the anniversary of 9-11, he spoke of the Miami Dolphins, he spoke of College Loan reform, he spoke of his campaign, but he left out the day that changed America forever.
4. The Definition of Stupid: Another Legislative Surrender
Get ready for another weak ground out into a double play in the upcoming budget battle.
Shortly before the August recess, we reported that Republicans planned to pass a clean 6-month CR which funds Obamacare and appropriates $1.047 trillion in spending - commensurate with Obama's request instead of the House budget. The idea behind the "deferment" strategy was twofold; to delay the major battles to 2013 in the hopes of winning back the Senate and to preclude the need for the lame duck session, when wayward members would use the must-pass budget bill to pass extraneous bad legislation.
At the time, we weighed both the pros and cons of this strategy. Now we learn that some of our concerns have come to fruition, as the proposed CR is neither clean nor will it prevent the lame duck session. Here are some things to consider.

Pick a fight with a liberal on:
SOCIAL STIGMA. Liberals are forever congratulating themselves on having all but eliminated the "stifling" codes of disapproval by which the pre-1960s generations dictated socially acceptable norms. But "stigma" was good. While stigma existed, poor people were too proud to beg or rely on welfare; girls were too ashamed to be thought "loose" or to seek single motherhood as a lifestyle choice; men were more chivalrous because there was a stigma against treating women without deference and special consideration; and people were more polite and even dressed properly as a sign of respect for others and themselves. "Stigma" was the means by which free citizens could agree on a mutually satisfactory code of behavior, without the agents of the state having to poke their noses into anyone's private business. Liberals, however, utterly reverse the equation-they're all for obliterating taboos, knocking down stigmas, shocking the middle class, and preaching tolerance for the most anti-social behavior; and then they turn around and act as the biggest advocates of the government dictating private behavior with the nanny state. The consequences? Greater government intrusion; much worse behavior.

Southern schools dominate list of best colleges for free speech

Just as college students head off to campus, a list of schools that hold the First Amendment above political correctness is out - with a slew of Southern schools leading the way. The list, released Wednesday by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), cites James Madison University, the College of William & Mary, the University of Mississippi, Mississippi State University, the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, the University of Virginia and the University of Pennsylvania for protecting free speech on campus and maintaining policies honoring freedom of expression.

National GOP platform includes support of ALAC concept ACT! for America grassroots "people power" continues to win victories ACT! for America led the passage of American Laws for American Courts (ALAC) in Tennessee, Arizona and Kansas. For instance, in Kansas we generated 30,000 phone calls and emails to state legislators. ALAC prohibits state courts from applying foreign law, which would include sharia law, when doing so conflicts with the Constitution or constitutional rights. ACT! for America led the efforts to add anti-sharia law or anti-foreign law resolutions to the platforms of FIVE state Republican parties. Now we're proud to announce that ACT! for America has helped win the inclusion of an anti-foreign law resolution in the NATIONAL Republican Party platform.

Krauthammer To Muslim Protestors In Egypt:
"Go To Hell"
Charles Krauthammer: "That statement is an embarrassment. That is a hostage statement. That's a mob of al-Qaeda sympathizers in Egypt, forcing the United States make a statement essentially of apology, on 9/11 of all days, for something we're not responsible. I would issue a statement saying to the mob, 'go to hell.' The way America works, the way democracy works is that everybody has a right to express themselves. We don't police our speech. And you ought to apologize to the United States for storming the embassy and the violation of the ultimate sacred principle of democracy, which is protecting embassies and missions abroad. For the U.S. to essentially issue a veiled apology, I think is disgraceful."

God, Jerusalem and American foreign policy
CorolineGlick.com | September 7, 2012
Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama and his supporters have been dogged by criticism of his position on Israel. From the very outset of his tenure in office, critics and supporters alike have not been able to shake the sense that Obama is deeply hostile to the Jewish state.
Obama and his supporters have responded to every criticism of his treatment of Israel by pulling out a list. Every time his record on Israel is criticized, Obama and his supporters pull out a list of the things he has done for Israel. Just this week, in an op-ed in The New York Times, Democratic donor Haim Saban pulled out the list to justify his support for Obama.
As the list notes, Obama has given billions of dollars in military assistance to Israel. He has gotten stiff sanctions passed against Iran by the UN Security Council. He has agreed to sell F-35 Joint Strike Fighters to Israel. During his presidency, they say, the US has expanded its intelligence and military coordination with Israel. Obama has opposed some anti-Israel resolutions at the UN.
Obama's critics respond to Obama's list with a series of points. They note that in approving increases in US military assistance to Israel, including for the Iron Dome rocket defense system, Obama is simply carrying out a pledge made by his predecessor George W. Bush. They note that the UN Security Council sanctions have had no impact on Iran's nuclear weapons program.
So, too, Obama opposed even stronger sanctions against Iran passed with the overwhelming support of both houses of Congress. Read More . . . |

Towers in Twilight
Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog
In the first few years it seemed as if they were still there, stark lines rising into the sky, tall shadows falling on the streets, a missing space that your eyes filled in without even thinking. You walked past, and your eyes said, "Of course they're there. They're always there" and for a moment you saw them as they were, grey ghosts of steel rising above the rubble. You saw the city as it was and then you remembered that city is gone.
Manhattan, that far down, is a lonely place. It is not a human place, but a huddle of buildings where men and women commute to and from, its stores are there for office workers to shop at, its sidewalks go dark when the trains head out to New Jersey again turning it dangerously low rent. That is what made the pretense of a Ground Zero Mosque, in a neighborhood where you can hardly find enough Muslim residents to start a game of Buzkashi, so nakedly dishonest.
But the site has always attracted its share of exploiters. On a good day you can see South American and African vendors peddling commemorative patriotic knickknacks and on a bad day the Truthers show up howling their contempt for the site. Tourists stop by and pose for snapshots with their families. Office workers walk by without thinking. The site, like the towers, is just something that's there. And lately even the vendors and Truthers hardly bother showing up anymore. Like so many others, they have already moved on to exploiting the next tragedy and the next outpouring of grief.
The neighborhood had grown less grim over time. The 99-cent stores and shops selling used clothing have given way to cafes and chain stores. The months during which the entire area was closed down, in part or in whole, took its toll on local businesses, but over time they bounced back. And so has the city.

Rumsfeld Featured in 'Provocative' New Documentary
NewsMax | Monday, 10 Sep 2012
Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is to be the subject of what producers on Monday called a "provocative" documentary directed by Academy Award winning filmmaker Errol Morris, producers said on Monday. Morris has teamed with the media company behind global warming film "An Inconvenient Truth" for the film, called "The Unknown Known: The Life and Times of Donald Rumsfeld," to be released in 2013.
The documentary will be drawn from filmed interviews Morris conducted with Rumsfeld as well as never-before-seen material from Rumsfeld's private archive, the executive producers said.

Democratic Convention Presents the 'New Normal'
This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published September 7, 2012 on The Washington Times website. If the November election is solely about the economy, why did the Democrats boot God and Jerusalem from their platform at the Democratic National Convention only to panic and then rig a vote to put them back in? It's well worth a couple of minutes to watch hapless Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on YouTube fail three times at the podium to get a two-thirds majority to put God and Jerusalem back in the platform and then declare, Soviet-style, to a cascade of boos that the motion had carried. The mayor's stunned look after the first couple of failures is priceless.

Bill Clinton Fed His Flock Democratic Daydreams and Fairy Tales This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published September 2, 2012 on Forbes.com. Rhetoric versus reality. That is what this election is about, based on what we saw at the Democrat convention. Instead of a path to the American Dream, Democrats presented to America their fanciful daydreams. The ever trustworthy Bill Clinton told the American people Wednesday night, "If you want a future of shared prosperity, where the middle class is growing and poverty is declining...you should vote for Barack Obama." But not on the basis of what Obama has done in his term of office. Read the Entire Column
Upward Mobility Barriers This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published September 5, 2012 on Townhall.com. Let's pretend that we have the political guts to expand economic opportunities for people at the lower end of the economic spectrum. What vested interests should be attacked, and what economic regulations should be targeted for elimination? It doesn't take a lot of money to become a taxi owner-operator and earn more than $40,000 a year. One needs a car, an insurance policy and ancillary interior equipment to make a car a taxi. In New York City, to be a taxi owner you'd have to purchase a license -- called a medallion -- that in June 2012 cost $704,000. New York's Taxi and Limousine Commission restrictions that generate such a license price outlaw taxi ownership by people who don't have access to a $704,000 loan. By contrast, in Washington, D.C., the annual fee for a license to own a taxi is $125. I'll let you guess which city has more taxis per capita, cheaper fares and more black taxi ownership.

The Left's Campaign to Destroy the First Amendment This article was written by the Carleson Center for Public Policy Policy Board Member and retired president of the Ethan Allen Institute John McClaughry. President Obama's remark that he believes that Congress should "seriously consider" a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United vs. FEC will doubtless spur ever more fanatic efforts by inaptly-named "liberals" to do just that. First, let's understand the issue. In 1907 Congress prohibited corporations from contributing to the campaigns of candidates for Federal office. But the subject of Citizens United was whether a 2002 act of Congress could declare a nonprofit advocacy corporation's airing of a film critical of a candidate (Hillary Clinton) within 30 days of a primary or 60 days of a general election to be a felony.

10 Steps to Save the Constitution
It often gets lost in the crush of back-to-school and the solemnity of September 11, but Constitution Day is next Monday, September 17. That will mark the 225th anniversary of our nation's founding charter.
Much like the document itself, Constitution Day doesn't get the fanfare it deserves. But let's not allow the day to go unobserved this year.
Here are 10 steps you can take to save the Constitution:
- Read it. The Constitution is just a few pages long, well-organized and clearly written. Explore the meaning of each clause with the line-by-line analysis available at Constitutiononline.com. Pass out pocket Constitutions. For your tech savvy friends, Constitutiononline.com looks great an mobile device.
- Ensure that your family understands the Constitution. Read the Constitution together as a family. Check out Teaching American History's interactive Constitutional Convention website. Add Constitution Quest to the family game night rotation. Or watch a movie about the Founding era. 1776 is a family-friendly choice, while the HBO miniseries, John Adams, is a more sophisticated portrayal of the Founding era.
- Start a Constitution study group. ConstitutionFacts.com offers both a simple and an advanced quiz.Failed the quiz? Enroll now for the Hillsdale College's Constitution 101 and 201. Or learn the Constitution at your own pace with The Heritage Guide to the Constitution: Teaching Companion. It explains every clause, summarizes each essay in the Heritage Guide to the Constitution, plus includes exercises and quizzes to test your comprehension.
- Learn about the Framers. Heritage's Founders' Almanac has short bios and quotes some of the key Founders. Guess who was President of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia? (Hint: he remains the consummate constitutional President, and his defense of religious liberty still guides us today.) Find your soulmate with the "which Founder would you marry?" quiz.
- Discover the ideas behind the Constitution. Learn about America's 10 foundational principles and what needs to be done to get America back on course with the bestseller, We Still Hold These Truths.
- Share what you know about the Constitution. Post a blog on the true meaning of the Commerce Clause. Show some love for the Tenth Amendment on Twitter. Like the Legislative Vesting Clause on Facebook. Social media isn't the only avenue. Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper about the importance of the Constitution. Donate copies of We Still Hold These Truths and The Heritage Guide to the Constitution to your local library and school.
- Spread the word in your local community. Why should Independence Day have a monopoly on patriotic cookouts? Start a new tradition and host a Constitution Day party for your friends and neighbors. It beats a food stamps party, hands down. You could even end the night by singing patriotic songs.
-
Arm yourself with facts on key issues. Make use of Heritage resources to stay informed on the critical issues facing America: from foreign policy and the welfare state to health care and the rule of law.
-
Shore up the American Dream. Our Constitution makes the American Dream possible. Save the Dream and fight for economic freedom by resisting the vast expanse (and expense) of the bureaucratic state.
-
Commit to a constitutional agenda. America is at a turning point: 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. Changing America's Course is Heritage's advice for how our political leaders can restore constitutional government.
Happy Constitution Day!

COMMENTARY: Has Obama Called Bibi's Bluff? By Patrick J. Buchanan How has the Israeli prime minister gone about getting America to fight Israel's war? Who May Tax and Spend? By Walter E. Williams The Constitution gave Congress ultimate taxing and spending authority, so my question is this: How can academics, politicians, news media people and ordinary citizens continually make and get away with statements such as "Reagan's budget deficits," "Clinton's budget surplus," "Bush's tax cuts" and "Obama's spending binge"? |
One of the legacies of the Obama presidency is that "white male" as a term of embarrassment has now transcended the hothouse of the campus and gone mainstream.
Who is going to win? It won't be the public school students of Chicago. It's not about them. It never was.
TOP STORIES ON PJ MEDIA
With unemployment chronically exceeding eight percent under President Obama and with explosive federal deficits, you would think Justice Department lawyers would have more important things to worry about than font size and enrichment programs on Obamacare. But you'd be wrong.
One side claims a violation of the separation of church and state. The other believes the cross is an artifact and not a religious symbol. The fight rages on this September 11th.

9/11: A Clinton Legacy
by Joel B. Pollak
Former President Bill Clinton is campaigning on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, hitting the stump for President Barack Obama's re-election effort in swing states, despite the fact that both campaigns are supposedly taking the day off. That is typical Obama--take the high ground while others do the dirty work. Meanwhile, the New York Times renews its attack on Obama's predecessor for "negligence" in ignoring warnings about the attacks.
It seems only fair, then, to remind the American public that not only does Obama skip most of his daily intelligence briefings, but also that the Clinton administration bears some of the blame for allowing 9/11 to happen. The 9/11 commission identified several Clinton failures, including four missed chances to kill Osama bin Laden, and a failure to adopt "a more aggressive counterterrorism posture" after Al Qaeda's initial attacks.
