Yes, the world is upside down.

Schools no longer teach the three R’s, but instead have become institutions of socialist tripe; turning our children into guinea pigs for government experiments, and a playground for kids to learn about sex and condoms.

Terrorists are Freedom Fighters, victims, and

Special Prosecutors don’t investigate crimes, they are tour guides of a funhouse they create full of trap doors and jail cells for innocent people while the guilty are protected by ordered silence followed with threats.

Terrorists worship Osama for the 9/11 attacks and “American Patriots” get print space, air time, and classrooms to further their kook theories that our government attacked The World Trade Center, killing almost 3,000 people in order to help “Big Oil.”

This is what the MSM will not tell you about Yasser Arafat.


The Legacy of a Terrorist:

• He was born in Egypt, as Yasser Abdul-Ra'ouf Qudwa Al-Husseini. In attempts to legitimize himself as a true Palestinian, Yasser claimed he was born in Jerusalem.

• In fact, Ian Pacepa, a former Romanian intelligence official, has revealed that the KGB had trained him at its Balashikha special-ops school east of Moscow and in the mid-1960s decided to groom him as the future PLO leader. The KGB first destroyed Arafat's official birth records in Cairo Egypt, and then replaced them with fictitious documents (sounds like Mary Mapes and Dan Rather antics) stating that he had been born in Jerusalem and viola! Yasser was now a Palestinian by birth.

• The KGB then went to work on Arafat's four-page tract called "Falastinuna" (Our Palestine), and transformed it into a 48-page monthly magazine for the Palestinian terrorist organization al-Fatah. Arafat had headed al-Fatah since 1957. The KGB distributed the magazine around the Arab world and in West Germany, where many Palestinian students were seeking an education.

• Arafat was an undercover operative for the KGB and received much support from other KGB puppets such as Egyptian ruler Gamal Abdel Nasser (who proposed Yasser to be the Chairman of the PLO in 1967).

• In 1969, it was the KGB who prompted Arafat to declare war on American "imperial-Zionism" during the first summit of the Black Terrorist International, a neo-Fascist pro-Palestine organization financed by the KGB and Libya's Moammar Gadhafi.

• Yasser claimed to be the one to come up with the "imperial-Zionism" strategy to attack the US, but this was actually a favorite tool of Russian intelligence to feed ethnic hatred. The KGB regarded anti-Semitism and anti-imperialism as a valuable instrument in furthering anti-Americanism.

• Arafat also tried to claim that through his mother, he was related to the "Grand Mufti," Haj Amin al-Husseini. Haj Amin was anti-British and anti-Jewish. He engineered riots against the Jewish people and actually met with Hitler in November of 1941. Palestinian historian Said Aburish, has disputed any relation between al-Husseini and Arafat.

• In 1957, Yasser helped in the founding of Fatah, an organization dedicated to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in place of Israel and Jordan (i.e., historic Palestine).

• Fatah began carrying out terrorist attacks on Israeli targets. They received much of their support from Syria.

• On March 18, 1968, Fatah attacked a school bus full of children, killing two and wounding 28. Israel dropped leaflets in the Jordanian city of Karameh (where Fatah has established its base) three days later, urging civilians to evacuate as they prepared to retaliate.

• Once the attack ensued, Arafat fled. He continued terrorist activities that lead to over 1,500 dead and wounded by the end of the year.

• Arafat had set up a "state within a state" in Jordan and on September 12, 1970, Arafat's Palestinian terrorists hijacked 3 planes, landed them in Jordan, and blew them up. King Hussein responded by declaring martial law and civil war ensued. Arafat fled to Syria and then to Lebanon.

• Once in Lebanon, Arafat began to undermine the central government of that country.

• In September of 1972, an arm of Fatah, known as Black September (named after the 1970 hijacking stunt), murdered 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympic Games.

• Arafat's PLO helped destabilize Lebanon and contributed to the civil war, during which Arafat and the PLO were responsible for the persecution and murder of thousands of Lebanese citizens.

• While in Lebanon, the PLO kept lobbing attacks on Israel. In June 1982, Israel finally answered with a full-scale assault that resulted in the Lebanon War. The United States was able to broker a cease-fire deal and Arafat and was sent to Tunisia, which became his base of operations for the next decade.

• On October 7, 1985, terrorists hijacked the the cruise ship, Achille Lauro. Arafat was the mastermind behind this tragedy where the Palestinian terrorists shot a wheelchair-bound Jewish passenger named Leon Klinghoffer and dumped his body overboard.

After all this fighting and all this violence, Arafat had one more chance. His claim has always been that he is fighting for the Palestinian People. His every action was supposed to be about giving Palestinians their own state. In July of 2000, he was given an offer for just that.

Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Barak, asked Clinton to call a meeting so that Israel could show its determination in reaching peace. Barak offered a plan beyond what anyone could have imagined. The offer:

• Israeli redeployment from 95% of the West Bank and 100% of the Gaza Strip
• The creation of a Palestinian state in the areas of Israeli withdrawal
• The removal of isolated settlements and transfer of the land to Palestinian control
• Other Israeli land exchanged for West Bank settlements remaining under Israeli control
• Palestinian control over East Jerusalem, including most of the Old City
• "Religious Sovereignty" over the Temple Mount, replacing Israeli sovereignty in effect since 1967

All Arafat had to do was declare an end to conflict and agree to make no future claims on Israel. The Palestinian negotiating team was very interested in the offer, but Arafat didn't take it. The talks collapsed. They did not collapse due to discussions, but rather due to lack of discussions. Arafat made no counter offers. He made no additional requests. No discussion at all. He just walked away! His whole life had been built on violence against Israel. His entire career was dedicated to total destruction of Israel. He couldn't bring himself to stop the fighting. The Palestinians were finally going to have their own land, but he just walked away!

Let the media outlets, heads of state, and talking heads glorify him as a man who committed his life to the cause of the Palestinian People. I know better, and quite honestly, they do too. His love was not for the people he claimed to be fighting for. His love was for the fight against the people he hated. When the chance was at his fingertips, his hate of Israel was far greater than his love for the Palestinians. To me, he will forever be the blood thirsty terrorist that had peace in his hand, and threw it away. He will be the man that returned to the Palestinians, and instead of bringing them peace and a state of their own, he called them to offer up their lives and the lives of their children. His hate was so bitter, he preferred to see them kill themselves and their young, than to give them their dream. As you watch the news coverage of his death, you may find yourself shaking your head in disbelief, and a voice in your head saying, "He walked away."

He walked out in July. The first one to die after this meeting was David Biri, on September 27, 2000. Visit HERE to read the names and see the pictures of all the innocent Israeli lives he stole when he walked away that day.

"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain, too cheap, we esteem too lightly:--'Tis dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to set a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated....... I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."

Thomas Paine- The American Crisis (Also the author of Common Sense.)

Common Sense was published on January 9, 1776 and became an instant best seller. It was a 50 page pamphlet that outlined a strong case for the colonies to go to war, seeking Independence.

Amidst the latest happenings in the Middle East and War on Terror, I thought this story appropriate and needed. I can't help but think of the courage of our forefathers. While most people I know talk much about George Washington, John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin, and Paul Revere; the one man I remember the most is Caesar Rodney. Most Americans have no idea who he is, unless of course you have lived in Delaware. Let me share with you perhaps the most incredible story of a man that knew his purpose and life was bigger than himself.

It was late June in 1776, and Caesar was in Sussex County Delaware. Rodney was a "Brigadier General of Delaware's militia, speaker of the state assembly which had also declared him as their leader. He was alternately in his seat in congress, and at work in Delaware, stimulating the patriots and repressing the royalists." He was also dying of cancer. He received word from Thomas McKean that he was needed in Philadelphia to sign the Declaration of Independence. It was made clear that without his signature, there would be no independence. He knew if he signed the Declaration he would never be able to return to England, his only chance of survival would be gone. Knowing he would never be able to live out the dream of freedom thriving in his soul, he mounted his horse and started on his journey for Philadelphia.

With cancer eating the flesh from his face and asthma gripping his every breath, he ventured onward through brutal humidity, thunderstorms, and torrential rains. He was racked with pain, sought by the British, and exhausted. The trip was not a simple ride on well traveled trails. He crossed rickety bridges, streams, and fields. He knew every hour and every one of the 80 miles were bringing him closer to signing his own death warrant, and bringing him closer to freedom.

Finally he reached Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Caesar Rodney staggered into Congress with only minutes left of the debate. Others in the room saw his condition and quickly came to assist him. His face was wrapped in linen, now covered with blood, sweat, and mud; in fact his entire body was laden with mud. It is believed he spoke these words as he cast his vote, "As I believe the voice of my constituents and of all sensible and honest men is in favor of independence, my own judgment concurs with them. I vote for independence," and then he collapsed.

My heart swells with utter pride and my eyes sting of tears when I think of this man's excruciating mission. Whenever I get a quarter, I check to see if it is his. Yes, the Delaware quarter features his valiant ride on its back. This is the epitome of integrity to me. He risked it all. He was dying of cancer. His only chance for survival was to go back to England, but he not only stayed and fought, but he gave it his all. What is more amazing is that Rodney was a 48 year old bachelor. In the 1700's, 48 was not a young age, and he had no wife or children to be leaving a legacy of freedom to. It was about his honor and duty; it was about freedom, justice, and liberty. It was about a dream.

In the years to come we will hear stories like these of the people in Iraq. They won't be riding horseback through streams and fields for 80 miles. They will be those that walked deserts, and stood in front of police stations that were the targets of choice for suicide bombings. They will be of women who dared to work in public or just leave their homes without covering their faces. We are in the midst of these great stories. Once again, America is leading the charge. We are helping others achieve the great history we hold so dear for themselves, as we did in Europe and Japan. They may not remember what our valiant and heroic soldiers did, and how our nation was ripped in a political fervor to make it all happen; but we will.

As the media tries to infuse panic about gas prices and falling stock markets, what will we do? As Israel battles the entire world of terrorist Muslims that seek their annihilation, what will we do? Will we cower and fret over our retirement funds? Will we wring our hands over the thought that the world won’t “like” us?

Rejoice in being an American today.

In the words of Thomas Paine, "We have it in our power to begin the world anew...American shall make a stand, not for herself alone, but for the world."

To say that being a mother is the hardest job in the world is so cliche. It is said so often that we really don't give it any thought. Most people think about the hours, and the selflessness put into it and miss the real meaning of the statement. Even us mothers nod, and know it's true, but we don't often spend time thinking about what truly makes the job of being a mother so hard. Today was one of those days that helped put this old cliche back into focus for me.

My son is 16 and rather short for his age compared to the other kids at school. It is especially noticeable when he steps out onto the football field (or stands on the sidelines). He's a Junior this year- and it is his first year playing football. He is very athletic, built and cut well, but still pretty small and quite inexperienced in organized sports; let alone FOOTBALL! He comes home each day after practice and shares how much he lifted, how many 40 yrd sprints he won (6 out of 15 he came in first- he's pretty fast). He plays wingback, but would love to play safety or wide receiver, and with his speed and ability to jump- he would fair pretty well in those positions. But with his size and just starting to play his Junior year, he truly lacks the self-confidence and experience to SHINE.

I am a typical, proud mom, and think everything he does is awesome. I see the talent he possesses quite easily. I also see the tender ego and heart of a 16 year old boy who grew up without his father in his life until he was 14; and how he struggles to find the man inside of him. I see how he measures himself by others. It is normal for 16 year old boys to go through this, but it also breaks my heart. It is particularly painful because I know that no matter how well-adjusted he his, he still feels the sting from the abandonment of his father in his early years and the pain he has endured by my poor decisions.

His first scrimmage game was last Friday, and I was the typical mother; jumping out of my seat exclaiming "Kevin's on the field! Kevin's on the field!" the very first time I saw him run out for a play. I laughed at myself, of course. His little sisters, 5 and 6, clamored at the fence yelling his name as he stood on the sidelines, and he graciously turned and smiled and waved. How nice of him not to get embarrassed and try to ignore them. It was such a relief to see his teammates think it was cute too, instead of razzing him over it.

But tonight was different. Tonight he looked agitated on the sidelines. He finally got to get in for one play- the second to last play of the game. It was at the other end of the field and since I was firmly planted in the front row, I really didn't get to see it. The game ended, and we waited by the locker room as he came to get out of uniform. I walked up to him, slapped him on the shoulder and said "Hey, All-Star!" He turned around to look at me, and I could see the fury all over his face. "What's wrong?" I asked. "I RAN INTO THE QUARTERBACK!" He snapped, and I saw the tears well up in his eyes. MY HEART SHATTERED!

How could I fix this? What do I do? What do I say? The mother in me wanted to grab him and hug him and tell him everything was okay, just let him cry. But THANK GOD I am a bit wiser than that, or am I? As my insides burned and my arms ached to hold him, I smiled and said, "Hey, at least you didn't get your hands on the ball and run to the wrong end zone." He rolled his eyes and tried to smile. "Shake it off! It was one play." I said "My ONLY PLAY." He mumbled, and he disappeared into the locker room.

I stood outside, waiting. I rocked back and forth wishing there were a man there to tell me how to handle this without destroying him. I mean, as parents. we just don't have all the answers. We are doing ALL we can just to not totally WRECK their lives. I knew this was a crossroad moment in his life. This young teenager, trying to be a man, had come to a point where how he handled this could effect how he handled failure the rest of his life, especially on the BIG things in his life. This was a moment that would set a pattern for so many things. At this age they hang their identity on things that nobody else ever remembers. OH- I NEEDED HELP! How do I ease the pain? How do I allow him the opportunity to feel the pain without adding to it, and at the same time help him keep this tiny moment in perspective? How do I make sure he doesn't let this moment haunt him or define him without belittling how he feels?

This was truly a moment that required an academy award-winning performance from me, and the wisdom of ANYONE BUT ME! As my heart broke, my mind raced for the answer on what to do. I racked my brain, trying to think of a man I could call in for reinforcements. Okay, to be totally I honest- I was trying to think of a man that I could hand this whole thing over to and say- "Please fix this! I am afraid to touch it! I'll mess it all up! Here- YOU TAKE IT! PLEASE!" Finally I calmed down and the answer came to me.

He came out of the locker room and we walked to the car. On the way, I asked him if the coach said anything to him about it. This is when he explained that the coach sent in 3 guys. 2 wingbacks and a tailback- but no fullback. The quarterback told my son to play fullback. So, of course, he had NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO OR WHERE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO GO! When he came off the field, the coach asked him, "What happened?" My son told him. The coach said, "Oh, my bad," and just shrugged it off. I just laughed and said "Well, that's cool. If the coach said 'My bad' then no worries." "But it was my ONLY play." was all he could say. But that was okay, I had a plan. "I got surprise for you." I told him.

We all piled into the car and I headed to Hollywood Video. I ran in and came out with a bag of movies. When we got home, my son jumped in the shower and I called my dad to tell him what happened, how I handled it, and what I was about to do. Thank GOD, my dad agreed. I had spent some time on the way home sharing with him some of my most embarrassing moments, and explained to him that he would live through it, and this moment just didn't define him and not to let it haunt him. My dad thought it was great that I didn't make it a BIG deal, despite my urge to coddle him and help him lick his wounds. Treating it like just another funny moment in life was pretty good. He was also thrilled with the next step. My son got out of the shower, and we sat down to watch "RUDY."

We laughed, we cried, and we cheered. As we read the little message at the end about how NO ONE had been carried off the Notre Dame field since 1975, my son looked at me and said "AMAZING MOVIE." He hugged me tight and said "Thanks mom!"

He then got on his computer and checked his zenga (OY!), kissed me goodnight and went off to bed. Right now he is laying in bed, drifting off to sleep. He has no idea that I just had one of the most TERRIFYING nights of my life, and I am PRAYING that I didn't just do EVERYTHING WRONG as a mother. He has no inkling that I hope I was a good mom tonight, and that it may be 20 years before I ever find out if I fumbled, or made a game winning Hail Mary catch in the end zone with 2 seconds on the clock. Chances are, I did neither. Chances are, I made a simple play that either gained a few yards or lost a few yards on the vast field of his life. As parents we get in a LOT of plays. But for THIS ONE HUGE MOMENT in his life, it was MY ONLY PLAY of the game.

PART I: Knowing the Enemy

This 5 part series will be devoted to the importance of defining the enemy we face, understanding the enemy, and our role in defeating the enemy. We DO have not only a role, but a duty to act against the enemy in order to protect America, and freedom in the world as a whole. Be sure to not miss any part of this week's journey to victory. The time of just discussing the issues at the water-cooler is over. Talking amongst friends who think and believe like we do is not going to solve the problems we face. Gathering in small groups to vent our frustration, much like support group meetings, may make us feel better and let us know we are not alone, but it will never achieve the vital need to eradicate the enemy and ultimately protect the future of America and its fight for freedom. Time to act folks. We need to be vigilant, determined, and purposeful in our actions.

The enemy has many fronts. How do we fight this enemy? The only way to fight the enemy is to know who they are, what motivates them, and what tactics they have, do, and are willing to use. As in any war, the greatest advantage is to know the enemy’s plan of attack. Once we understand them, we can prepare the counterattack. We also need to know what they think our reaction will be, and make changes accordingly, in order to make their plans fail.

The Enemy 101:

Step 1: What motivates them? Answer, the destruction of Israel and the Jews. This is where America becomes enemy number one. In reality, their number one enemy is NOT Israel, it is the United States of America. Why? Without America’s support, they can AND WILL destroy Israel. The claim of many “representatives” of the enemy is that the attacks and hatred of the US is due to their “Middle East Policy.” You know, the policy of ensuring that Israel is protected and allowed to exist.

Step 2: Who is the Enemy? Those that want to destroy Israel. (See how simple this really is?) So, who wants to destroy Israel? Basically all of the Middle East and ANY Muslim Extremists (no matter where they may live). Now this is where things get a little more complicated. We do have other enemies. They may not want to KILL all of us, but they certainly resent our power and authority and want to see us weakened so they may gain more power. This is what motivates other countries to join with the “original” enemy. This would include countries like Russia, France, and Germany. Strangely enough, this also tends to bleed over into some of our very own citizens. The bleed over occurs due to those that immigrate here for either business reasons or for education. Some are just visiting, while others are firmly planted here. Even more bleed over occurs when we accept the reality that there are “authentic” Americans who also resent our power in the world. Then of course we have the "unintentional" enemies. These are people or countries that either just do not comprehend how dangerous the enemy is, or those that do understand and have chosen to appease the enemy in an effort to protect itself. Those who are appeasing are not enemies that deserve any harsh treatment from us in any way, they just merely need to understand that if we fall, no one will be left to protect them, and their short-term "friendship" will certainly end badly. This explains the great divide within America, and the ability of the enemy to attack on several fronts.

Step 3: What is their plan of attack? The enemy has done their homework. They realize the odds of America being defeated militarily, in a “face-to-face” fight, are more than just unlikely. They also understand the way to defeat America is from within. The history of America, and understanding the inner workings of American politics and culture, has given them the information they need to defeat us. The only way to change American policy in the Middle East is through the people of America. Osama has many times referred to America as the “Paper Tiger.” This term is a reflection of the image we have shown them. Our military is the tiger, yet our citizens can and have made the tiger appear impudent to the Middle East. They have proven over and over the lengths they are willing to go to, and the depths they are willing to stoop. The onslaught of innocents is meant to prove this, and does. Even though the President is the Commander and Chief, it is the citizens of America that either make or break his job security, and the citizens are influenced by the media. What this means to the enemy is that the only way to change American policy in the Middle East is to either assassinate the President, (which is not only very difficult, but it also does not ensure that the President’s replacement will actually change this policy) or influence the American people to change their policy through elections.

Tomorrow we will take the journey into understanding how we gained the image of a “Paper Tiger,” and the players from “within” that helped to create this image. Once we take this journey, we will begin to outline the enemy’s many fronts. They have a short-term and a long-term plan. Then we will begin analyzing the roles of the enemy’s “helper countries,” the media, and the “bleed-overs” in our country. Lastly, we will lie out a plan of how to resist this enemy and defeat it with both long-term and short-term plans. This plan will include an intellectual understanding, preparing ourselves mentally, and literal actions we must take to win this war.

PART II: The Paper Tiger

If you have not read PART I, please read it before you proceed. It is very important to put all of this in context and go through this step by step in order for our fight against the enemy to be successful.

The image of the Paper Tiger has been created by our own people and our own government, but the media has been the catalyst. Hiding truth and exploiting the emotions of the American people has become a mission. By selective reporting of facts, knowing distortions, and by highlighting selected issues the media has actively forwarded the agenda of America's enemies. The enemy within is not only impossible to recognize by his/her lack of a uniform but they are also protected by our laws. Our enemies have done their homework. They know more about our system, how it works, and how to use it to their advantage than most of us realize. The inability of most Americans to understand the true meaning of sacrifice is our greatest weakness. Our political system has become the enemy’s strategic infiltration and uninformed voters are our greatest infection. I am not suggesting we change our system of democracy. I am suggesting we WAKE UP and educate ourselves! The lies and cover-ups of our media have been our enemy’s battlefield and best resource. (Thank God for "alternative" media sources!) Most people would expect a litany of military defeats to exploit a country’s weakness. It is not a lack of military strength that endangers us, but rather American's weak stomach for war.

It is the American gullibility and willingness to participate in class warfare (poor hate rich, corporate greed, etc.) that is used against us for those seeking power and our destruction. As a civilized nation we have a natural desire to be sympathetic for the poor and oppressed. Americans have always been in the fore front of helping those in need. This may be a virtuous moral value, but the practice of such compassion through government rather than individuals puts us in grave danger of becoming a socialist state. Socialism is the gateway to communism. The roadmap for this was published, yes actually published, in 1958. The book was The Naked Communist by W. Cleon Skousen. This book lists the Communist Goals to make America fall from within. The list was actually entered into the Congressional Record by Albert Herlong, Jr.(a Floridian who served in Congress from 1949-1963). Many of the 45 goals have already been accomplished, and many more were actually part of the campaign for 2004.

The next example of the creation of the Paper Tiger may be a little extreme in wording; it states America is already a communist state. While I do not believe this to be factual, it does make a great case for just how subtle the indoctrination of communist dogmas has been implemented. The Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto has, in some ways, been implemented already. Strictly as an example of how the control of government gets tighter and tighter, I am including this link to show you how gradually this occurs. To understand what is taking place we must take a clear look at our history. (The Truth about FICA and SS)

I challenge you to print a copy of the Communist Goals. Now take a yellow highlighter and highlight those already being accomplished. Then take a different color highlighter and highlight those that were on the list of issues during this last election, and daily trumpeted in the media today.

Ask yourself why the list of Communist Goals and the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto are not common knowledge. Why is this not taught in our schools? Why is the media not warning us of the methodical march into Socialism/Communism? The media does not reflect the feelings and attitudes of the people. The media has its own agenda and thirst for power. Their coverage and portrayal of events is a direct result of their agenda and lack of American ideals and values. This has been possible because we, the average American, have let ourselves get too "busy". We have been too lazy to bother questioning what they sell us. Americans do not spend the effort to "fact check" the information we are fed everyday. We take for granted that we will never lose our power to govern and are blind to the fact that we are no longer a nation governed by the people. We are now a nation where politicians and media have joined forces and school systems have become the front lines.

Once you see the pieces of the puzzle put together, it is startling. How did we miss this? How did we not see this coming? Currently, there is a movement to embrace the likes of Fidel Castro, heroic portrayals of Yasser Arafat, and today we are told how “charitable” Hezbollah is to poor widows. (pay no attention to the fact that they are widows because their husbands blew themselves up in order to kill innocent children and others on a bus or eating pizza) There have been claims that it is "morally right" to disarm, in order to "show strength" and "set an example" for the rest of the world. There have been great efforts made to discredit the traditional family, belittle the Judea-Christian Values we were founded upon as a "religious crutch", and to promote the UN as the great hope of the future. These are only a few on the list of Communist Goals.

Stop making excuses! Start paying attention to what your government is doing, how they are doing it, and for Pete’s sake- take action. The War on Terror is being fought on the battle fields by our soldiers. Do not let their sacrafices be in vain. WE have a ROLE in this fight.

PART III: The Attack From Within

The terrorists enemies of the US and their many attacks, such as 9/11 and the USS Cole, are open threats to us. We have a President dedicated to crushing the terrorists. That focus and determination is vital to survival. Hesitation and equivocations in the strategy of confronting terror will only lead to more terror.

Our enemies see the key to weakening America is to undermine the very things that have made America a powerful nation. America has been founded on the ideals of a just and faithful nation. Our forefathers fought against Great Britain, their own motherland, because they recognized Great Britain's continued control us would significantly limit our freedoms. The pioneers of our country understood the meaning of "The Land of Opportunity." Notice the key word here is opportunity. Recently, we have started to adopt the notion of "the land of ENTITLEMENT." This mind set will only lead to a welfare state (socialism/communism), instead of preserving the very philosophy that lead us to greatness.

If you read the Communist Goals yesterday, the picture is clear.

The enemy fronts:

Education: (these are numbered in correlation to the original list entered into the Congressional Record in 1963.)

· 17) Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism, and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in text books.

· 18) Gain control of all student newspapers

· 19) Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

· 28) Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state"

· 29) Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

· 30) Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man".

· 31) Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of "the big picture:" Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

· 41) Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

Some of these have already been accomplished, and the rest are rampantly taking hold on American psyche. Much of this has been allowed to happen because we were not aware of the plan of attack!

Media: (again, numbered accordingly)

· 20) Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

· 21) Gain control of key positions in radio, TV & motion pictures.

· 25) Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography, and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.

· 26) Present Homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal, natural, and healthy".

· 42) Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special interest groups should rise up and make a "united force" to solve economic, political, or social problems.

Culture:

· 22) Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings", substitute shapeless, awkward, and meaningless forms.

· 23) Control art critics and directors of art museums. " Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art".

· 27) Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch"

· 36) Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

· 37) Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

· 39) Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

· 40) Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

Legal System:

· 16) Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

· 12) Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

· 24) Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

· 33) Eliminate all laws or procedures, which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

· 38) Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.

· 14) Continue giving Russia access to the US Patent Office.

Politics:

· 15) Capture one or both of the political parties in the US.

· 10) Allow all Soviet Satellites individual representation in the UN.

· 35) Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

· 29) Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

· 7) Grant recognition of Red China, and admission of Red China to the UN.

· 1) US acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war

· 2) US willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

· 3) Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the US would be a demonstration of "moral strength".

· 4) Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

· 5) Extension of long term loans to Russia and Soviet Satellites.

· 6) Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

· 9) Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the US has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

Some of these "Goals" actually repeat themselves and overlap into more than one area. The battle ground is wide and vast. It will take awareness, vigilance and resolve to defeat the attempt to bring us down from within. As one of the most subtle examples, look at the first item listed (#16) under the Legal System heading. The first thing that came to my mind was the Boy Scouts of America. The Boy Scouts is one of the most docile, yet AMERICAN organizations we have, yet they are being vilified and attacked by the ACLU (with the help of the media) relentlessly. Do the Boy Scouts pose a threat to American Civil Liberties? Good grief! In efforts to be "politically correct" we sit idly by, not wanting to "offend" anyone, and just let it happen.

Take time today and let this sink in. When you watch the news or read the paper, start noticing the wording of stories, and the choices made on which stories to cover. Somehow, the media feels the need to crucify our brave soldiers before all the facts are in (or refuse to present ALL the facts), while aiding in creating excuses for beheadings, torture, and the mutilation of those giving their lives for Freedom. The goal is to make us believe it is all the United States fault terror exists and that we created these monsters. They are victims, driven to extremes in a desperate effort to protect their country, and their "freedom of religion." What the media keeps forgetting to mention, is that their barbaric behavior is a result of years of hate teaching by their "state-run education system" and their "religion" is willing to execute young daughters for having the audacity of being raped!

To the Media, terrorist groups has become a sort of political party,a special interest group, and a protected class fighting for their civil liberties all rolled into one. The media and liberal political leaders have become corrupt lobbyists for the terrorists groups. YOU are the VOTER! MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT!

PART IV: More Than Osama

The most obvious enemy is Osama bin Laden and the Muslim extremists. But we need to take a deeper look at history before we can understand the biggest threats of the Enemy Abroad.

Originally, Osama's reasons for the 9/11 attacks were aimed at getting US troops out of Saudi Arabia. He needed this goal accomplished in order to reach his ultimate goal of overthrowing the Saudi government. In Osama's pre-election video, Osama cited a different reason.

"The events that affected my soul in a direct way started in 1982 when America permitted the Israelis to invade Lebanon and the American Sixth Fleet helped them in that. This bombardment began and many were killed and injured and others were terrorised and displaced........And that day, it was confirmed to me that oppression and the intentional killing of innocent women and children is a deliberate American policy. Destruction is freedom and democracy, while resistance is terrorism and intolerance."

Two things to note here. Osama cashed in on the historic Arab Radical's desire of destroying Israel. There is no doubt in my mind that Osama has always embraced the destruction of Israel but that is not why he attacked the USA. His true intention for attacking America were entirely more self-centered. Osama has always been all about HIS power and self agrandizement. Osama, like other foes of the USA, knows the most effective way to destroy America is by gaining support inside the USA. Like many Anti American forces, he witnessed the way the Vietnames exploited the American Left against its own society during the Vietnam War. Osama is attempting to exploit the Palestinian's claim of "victim" status. He knows that the American Left is predisposed to give self proclaimed "Victims" anything they demand. In truth, giving the “Palestinians” a "state" of their own would only evaporate the true goal of the radical Arab world, which is to destroy Israel. If their sincere desire was to give Palestine a state of their own, they would already have one. They have had at least two chances.

· On November 29, 1947, the U.N. General Assembly by a two-thirds vote (33 to 13 with Britain and nine others abstaining) passed Resolution 181. Dividing Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab. The Jewish community of Palestine accepted these terms. Judea, Samaria, the Gaza Strip and Jerusalem were not included for the Jewish state. The Arab national movement in Palestine, as well as all the Arab states, turned down the offer. They demanded the entire country for themselves and threatened to use force. If they accepted the U.N. proposal in 1947, the Palestinians would have their own Arab state (covering an area much larger than the West Bank and Gaza). Instead, they launched a war to destroy the new Jewish state.

· Arafat walked away from the offer of a Palestinian State in 2000 during talks at Camp David with President Clinton. All he had to do was declare an end to conflict and agree to make no future claims on Israel.

It is important to remember these facts. There is a distinction between Palestine having a state of their own and the annihilation of Israel. There is also a distinction between the hijacking of Islam in order to further their desire to destroy Israel. There is a difference between the Palestinians having their own nation and Osama's stated desire to take over Saudi Arabia. Once we understand the clear difference between the stated propaganda aims and the real aims of our enemies, we realize how our enemy is bigger than just Islamic Fanatacism.

Take note of a few things. Saudi Arabia once saw Saddam as its biggest threat. They then realized that Osama was interested in ruling their country. Now Saudi Arabia views Iran as the new threat to their power. (wonder where Osama is?) America not only protects Israel, but we were also protecting Saudi Arabia. Osama's beginning rumblings were all about getting the US military off of Saudi soil. The hatred of Israel has merely become the tool used to recruit people to become suicide bombers.

The history is clear. It is easy to see, easy to follow, and easy to figure out. The UN leaders know these facts. Russia, China, Germany, etc, all understand full well what is going on. They are the "appeasers"- the "enablers" of terror. They will allow terror to flourish as long as they can. The media, in lockstep, has become the life support for terror. It all revolves around the hatred and resentment of our success and greatness. It is imperative that we not only understand the intentions of the world community, it is also crucial that we stand tall for our ideals.

Our biggest weakness is our goodwill and desire to be "liked." Success and survival is achieved by RESPECT, not cuddly friends. Our goodwill needs to be practiced on a personal level in the private sectors of life, not on the political fore or as a governmental foreign policy. Our enemies understand this and have us pegged for destruction as we refuse to accept this reality.

It is easy to see in the media how we are being blamed for the battle right now in Israel. It is also clear when one looks at history and recent events that the old Russia is still alive and well. The KGB is now sitting on the throne of the Tsars, shaking hands with our President. Under the veil of a "New Russia", they are planning our demise. The world community is working in concert to bring us down. We are the only real obstacle to world domination by the elitist liberals who seek government control over the common people. Russia is the key here. We need to not allow the media or the rest of the world to distract us from what is really going on. My suggestion:

President Bush needs to sit down with Putin armed with a big fat folder full of history and intelligence, along with the long list of Russia's actions of recent. He needs to look Putin in the eye and say- "Lookie here Putz Face. I don't expect you to back up all our national interests. But I will be damned if I am going to pretend that I don't notice that you are systematically making every move you can to undermine and weaken our national SECURITY. Now- I am going to give you about 15 minutes to pray on it, flip a coin, whatever you want to do to help make up your little mind. But at the end of that 15 minutes- you are going to look me in the eye and give me one word. Just one. Either 'Friend' or 'Foe.' Okay?" Then Bush needs to set a timer on his watch, lean back in his chair with his hands behind his neck., kick his boots up on the table, tip his cowboy hat, and wait.

PART V: Our Greatest Weapon

Our Greatest Weapon is our Judeo-Christian heritage. A stroll through history to learn about our forefathers is an enlightening key to how we must wage the battle against the onlsaught of our enemies.

· Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law....An oligarchy....The rule of few over many-

· James Madison is quoted, "I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."

· The American Bible Society was started by an act of Congress (that's not an easy task!) and John Adams (our second president), served as its first leader.

· Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies-Congregationalist-7, Deist-1, Dutch Reformed-2, Episcopalian-26, Lutheran-1, Methodist-2, Presbyterian-11, Quaker-3, Roman Catholic-2

How do we fight the battle?

· Vote everyday, not once every 2 to 4 years. Vote with your voice and your wallet. Your elected leaders hear from special interest groups and lobbyists everyday, they need to hear from us everyday.

· Treat the Old Media with impunity. Hold them to standards of honesty, integrity, and accountability. Email them, call them, whatever you can do. Support news sources that are working FOR America, not FOR the terrorists. One of those tremendous sources is Free Republic.
· Keep yourself informed on a daily basis of not only the big events, but also the smaller movements ebbing away at our society and its core values.

· Arm yourself with the truth about history, events and the politicians spinning lies throughout the old media outlets. A weekly MUST read can be found HERE. Take this knowledge out into the world educating others.

· Be educated about all the candidates in primaries. This is very important. I have yet to see anyone elected become MORE conservative. They all seem to think MORE government control is a GOOD thing once THEY become the government.

· Support our troops and our intelligence secrets. Do not sit idly by as newspapers publish details of our efforts to battle the enemy. Demand the people charged with the duty to protect our citizens and our constitution who leak this information be brought to justice and held fully accountable. Start an effort to mail our troops letters and goodies and help tell their stories. Support their loved ones left behind trying to support families alone.

The terrorist greatest fear is our resolve. Remember these words:

President Ronald Reagan:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

In September of 2001, I slammed into a part of myself I thought disappeared. I thought motherhood had set in; true maturity had finally arrived. The tomboy in me put away the fantasies of being the real life version of Kelly on Charlie’s Angels; and was replaced with visions of Mary Poppins and Claire Huxtable. I was a mother.

As a mother, I came to know fear and anger like never before. These emotions would crash through me any time I felt my child was threatened in any way. I was fierce in the fervor to protect my children. Nothing; however, could have prepared me for the passion of revenge I tasted on September 11th.

Until this Wednesday, September 1, 2004.

I am a patriot, an extreme believer in Christ (I guess that means people could call me an extremist.), and I love to rally to a good cause (so I guess the word rebel would fit me too.), but what makes someone a terrorist? I am enraged at the attack on children. I am appalled at the slaughter and beheading of innocents. Does this make me want to seek justice? Yes. Does this make me want revenge? Yes. Does it make me want to dress in camouflage, paint my face green, wear bullet necklaces, grab the biggest gun I can find, and hunt down the animals responsible? YES! So, am I a terrorist?

What a fine line. But there is a line. In all the anger, outrage, and pain of the events in the War on Terror, there is still one very distinct ingredient missing. The sting on my heart and the taste of blood in my mouth never lead me to a place or time that I could harm an innocent. I could never randomly pick a father, mother, or child by their mere nationality and hold them hostage, or take a knife to their throat. Let’s drop these “tuxedo” terms (words used to dress-up reality). Go ahead; call me a patriot, because I would surely use deadly force against anyone intruding my homeland to take my freedom from my children. Call me an extremist, because I will serve my God by voting against the slaughter of unborn children and the attack on marriage. Call me a rebel, for I love to call on authority to be accountable. Save the term TERRORIST for those who are so blinded by their arrogance that they are willing to target innocents in order to further their ideology. And just for the record (now pay attention because this is where the extreme patriotic rebel bears her ugly head), terrorist is a tuxedo word too; I’d rather use words like, MONSTERS, ANIMALS, MURDEROUS THUGS, or MOVING TARGETS.

I am SICK of the appeasers crying about us being in Iraq.

“Arrogant? Arrogant? Who is being arrogant?” I find myself bellowing at the Liberal Freaks on the television. Are we really thinking this thing through? The Political Left has proudly joined the chorus of the “offended”! What is their reasoning for calling our President arrogant? Each time you ask them, they squeal about W’s going into Iraq without the approval of the rest of the world. This is the first falsehood.

President Bush did go to the UN. The UN unanimously approved Resolution 1441. Then the Left slanders Bush’s decision to remove a dictator who had refused to comply with over a decade of resolutions issued by the UN. How is this arrogant?

The very purpose of these resolutions is to ensure peace throughout the world. The very need for such resolutions was due to Saddam’s disregard for peace and his invasion into another country in 1990! Now, I ask you, who is arrogant? I say Saddam. Clearly it is Saddam.

Now, let’s go deeper and further! Has anyone read this resolution? I did. It is so easy to understand! This resolution uses the word recalling 7 times, deploring 4 times, and immediate (or immediately) 11 times. Again, I ask, who is arrogant? Who is outright defying the world? Who is threatening world peace? To even suggest that Iraq was not a threat is both wrong and irresponsible.

The very people who accuse our President of defying the UN, and endangering world peace are the very people who have sat by, turning a blind eye, to a dictator who has (1) gassed his own people, (2) engaged in War with its neighbors, (3) tortured and killed anyone in his country that disagrees with him –including children, and (4) literally engaged in class warfare and racism to the extent of starving people for cash.

Oh, it gets better. Saddam’s explanation for invading Kuwait goes as follows. Saddam claimed that “annexing Kuwait had been a religious duty, a jihad, since the al-Sabah family (Kuwait's rulers) had ruled over an artificial state set up by the British. Saddam claimed that his jihad had liberated Kuwait from dominance by "Western infidels.” (see Gilles Kepel, Jihad: The Trail of Political Islam (Cambridge, MA: Belknap Press, 2002), 208f.) Does anyone smell the aroma of arrogance here?

Am I the only one who recognizes the word jihad? In light of the events on 9-11, it is imperative that we recognize when someone uses the word jihad to explain war and violence. Saddam was implementing the jihad we are experiencing today, back in 1990! Also, note the word infidels. Once we look at the facts, the fog of rhetoric by the far Left's PR noise machine is blown away.

Senator, and losing Presidential Candidate, John Kerry referred to the Coalition as "Window Dressing" and claimed that they are not sharing the burden of the war and reconstruction. Does this sound like the words we would use to describe Great Britain? Italy? Poland? Japan? Australia?

Kerry calls the war in Iraq a “diversion.” I would call Saddam’s claim that he “liberated Kuwait” the diversion! Kerry also referred to the Coalition as "coerced" And "bribed." (Herbert A. Sample, "Kerry Blasts Bush On Iraq Effort," Sacramento Bee, 3/14/03) It would seem the Senator has never heard of the Oil for Food Scandal.

Who has truly been coerced and bribed? How do you call a group of nations fighting terrorism “coerced” and “bribed,” while you constantly thump your chest about gaining support from nations that refuse to stand-up to Saddam? Particularly when the current leaders of these same do nothing nations are reaping all kinds of benefits from a UN managed program of corruption? Who is being bribed when the various Leftist political leaders accept massive "Oil for Food contracts" that result in denying the very benefits the program was created to provide for the poor people of Iraq?

These are the facts folks:
1 Saddam is a liar.

2 Kuwait was granted full independence in 1961. Iraq formally recognized its border with Kuwait TWICE; once in 1932 (upon Iraq gaining its independence), and again in 1963.

3 On March 31 1990, the Washington Post reported that in May, 1989, U.S. Customs officers had blocked the shipment to Iraq of 185 high-speed capacitors which could have been used to detonate a nuclear bomb.

4 In 1990 Saddam Hussein announced that if Israel attacked Iraq, he would destroy half of Israel with chemical weapons.

5 On July 16, 1990, during an OPEC meeting in Geneva, Saddam threatened military action against Kuwait for exceeding oil production quotas and accused Kuwait of stealing oil by using slant drilling techniques.

6 On July 17, 1990, Saddam threatened force against ANY Arab nation who didn’t abide by their quotas.

7 On July 18, 1990, Saddam amassed 30,000 troops on the Kuwait border

8 On August 1, 1990, Kuwait refused to cancel billions of dollars in Iraq debt, and relinquish any of its territory.

9 On August 2, 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait.

10 The OIC (Organization of the Islamic Conference) had been meeting when Saddam invaded Kuwait. The conference voted to condemn the Iraqi invasion and to express its solidarity with Kuwait. Only five members (Iraq, PLO, Jordan, and the Sudan, with Libya abstaining) did not vote for the resolution. This is often looked upon as the beginning of the conflict amongst the Sunni Muslims, which lead to the creation of radical rebels such as Usama Bin Laden.

11 On August 3, 1990, Saddam amassed troops on the Saudi border in the area called the “Neutral Zone.” The UN Security Council voted 14-0 on resolution 660, that demanded Saddam to immediately withdrawal all Iraqi forces.

12 On August 7, 1990, The U.S. began deployment of troops to Saudi Arabia upon the request of King Fahd. (this is one of Bin Laden’s excuses for justifying attacks against Americans anywhere in the world.)

13 On August 10, 1990, the Arab League meeting in Cairo voted to join the United States in sending Arab forces to defend Saudi Arabia.

14 On November 29, 1990, the U.N. Security Council (Resolution 678) voted to authorize the United States and its allies to expel Iraq from Kuwait by force if Saddam refused to withdraw by January 15, 1991.

15 On January 16, 1991, Operation Desert Storm began.

16 On April 11, 1991, Iraq gave its assent to U.N. Resolution 687, which had been passed on April 3. Under its terms, Iraq agreed to destroy or remove all long-range ballistic missiles and all nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons.

Now, with this quick history lesson, explain to me where Saddam understands anything but force. Explain to me who is arrogant? I would love Kerry to convince me that Saddam had no interest in cooperating with Usama bin Laden.

I am amazed that the American people can be so filled with hate towards their President that they are willing to trash our future for short term political gain.. I am shocked at the hatchet job that Kerry and the Far Left are doing to our allies. I am perplexed by the willingness of the Kerry and his supporters to join the side of those steeped corrupted by the Oil for Food scandal. I am surprised by the arrogance of American Leftist who cling to dictators across the globe. I am frightened by Kerry’s constant bashing of those who are helping us defeat this axis of terror, while at the same time embracing those foreign leaders that used a UN Humanitarian effort to scam these very people! I shudder at the thought of my children’s future being put into the hands of a Democrat Party that daily belittles the noble sacrifices of brave troops sent by our allies. This same party refers to people up their necks in scandal as the ones we need ask permission of to defend ourselves!

The scariest thing of all is this: the descendants of men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan can be so easily swayed into dismay. If the war on Iraq had lasted only 90 days, as Desert Storm had; there would be no doubt that it was the right thing to do. Have we become so spoiled that we measure right and wrong by convenience? What if we had lost twice as many troops as we have today, but only in 90 days? What are we measuring the cost of freedom and peace upon? The time it takes to achieve destroying the enemy? Is there a magic number of soldier deaths that makes us shrivel up and decide our children can deal with it 12 years from now. Are we honestly too cowardly and weak to handle troops dying for the quest of peace,? We should instead trade Liberty’s progress for compliance with the arrogance of men like Saddam?

Be honest with yourself. Would you look Saddam in the eye and trust him with anything? Where is the choice here, folks? Where? John Kerry does not have my child in his best interest. President Bush will do all in his power to protect my child. President Bush values my brother’s bravery and sacrafice as he fights in Iraq to protect my children. President Bush will not accept defeat, even if victory makes him unpopular with those that embrace the likes of Saddam.

On Tuesday September 12, 2006, Rosie made an outrageous charge against American Christians and played the “Katrina” card on the issue of National Security. Talk about irony.

First let’s get some facts straight (does the word straight offend anyone yet?). Rosie O’Donnell is a comedian, turned daytime TV talk show host, turned failed magazine guru, turned angry gay woman, turned moonbat. (see picture below).

To be fair, on a personal level, Rosie has done many wonderful things for children and charities and Rosie’s daytime TV talk show was also quite successful. Unfortunately, none of these things qualify her as brilliant, let alone a credible voice on religion or politics. But like most rich, spoiled, arrogant Liberal Freaks, this did not stop her from spouting off ridiculous lies and rhetoric.

It is the left that constantly accuses President Bush of polarizing this country, and causing the great divide. HOGWASH! In fact, it is the left that politicizes every word (PC Nazi’s). It is the left that calls 9/11 a “tragedy” (not a terrorist attack) and yet calls Katrina a racist plot by the Bush Administration. But I digress…..back to Rosie.

Debunking Rosie:

ROSIE: O’Donnell: "We were attacked not by a nation. And as a result of the attack and the killing of nearly 3,000 innocent people we invaded two countries and killed innocent people in their countries."

EC: Rosie, pay attention now, this could get a bit steep for your intellect, but let’s give it a try. It was MUSLIM EXTREME TERRORISTS that attacked us, not a nation. However, the “nation” that gave harbor to these thugs refused to take action against the group or its leaders, and in fact gave them shelter, hiding behind sovereignty to protect this group. How exactly do you suggest we stop Al-Quieda without being able to reach them? You also seem to totally miss which group actually targets innocent people, and which group literally risks their own lives to protect innocent people. I won’t even cause your brain cells to implode by expalinin how those hanging out with terrorists can hardly be called “innocent.”

ROSIE: ‘The safety of America depends on the outcome of the battle in the streets of Baghdad.’ And I would say the outcome, really, of America really depends on the battle in the streets of New Orleans…”

EC: KATRINA!?!?!?! How does the “outcome of the safety of America” depend on the “battle in the streets of New Orleans!?” There is NO battle in the streets in New Orleans, Rosie. If you have ANY concerns over the safety of people in New Orleans, don’t kid yourself into thinking that MONEY would solve any of their safety concerns. These people actually RE-elected (bussed into vote for it a a matter of fact) the one man most responsible for the deaths of these people. They also ELECTED every one responsible for the failed levee system who participated in all out corruption over the money given them to actually strengthen those levees. That being said, Rosie, you CANNOT BEGIN to draw parallels on the safety of America between natural disasters and terrorists bringing a war to our soil. New Orleans is a Liberal cesspool of corruption and uneducated morons thinking the rest of the world owes them as they continue to choose, again and again, to live in squaller. Of all the areas hit by Katrina, New Orleans is the ONE AREA where the deaths caused by Katrina could have been avoided.

ROSIE: "And just one second, radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America."

EC: NO, Rosie, radical Christianity is NO threat to American safety. “Radical” Christians may not agree with your life-style, but they are not raising money to support terror camps where they are training other Christians to slit your throat for it. They are not raising their Children to blow themselves up in the name of Jesus in order to take out a few sexial deviants. They are not hijacking planes, they are not calling for death in any way, shape, or form. And since you decided to drag Katrina and Christians into your disgusting tirade of LIES, it would serve you well to find out how many RADICAL CHRISTIANS have dedicated MILLIONS of dollars to the victims of Katrina, offered up their homes, and used their vacation (or even UNPAID days off of work) to travel to the Katrina devastated areas and put serious sweat equity into helping people in this “battle in the streets.” How many GAY activist groups have campaigned to help the Katrina victims? How many Muslims? How many of them actually went and helped? How many TC TALK SHOW HOSTS picked up a hammer and nails, or hauled wreckage, or delivered food.

Rosie, you can sit on a TV set, with a microphone and camera, and attack the people who DO KEEP THIS COUNTRY SAFE, but that is all you can do. You will NEVER engage in selfless acts of hard work and dedication to aid people who may persecute you or even hate you for your beliefs. All you will do is write checks and spew the same hatred our enemy spews against us.

In short, Rosie, you will never be able to help SOLVE any of these problems; because frankly my dear, YOU are a tremendous PART of the problem.

LIARS!

Yes, the leftists marching for “Peace” as they claim to be supporting the troops are LIARS! The Peace Activists and their cohorts in media are either con artists, delusional, idiots, or all of the above. There are many examples I could use to prove it, but I will stick to just two, and let the rest up to you.

The latest example of this lie is presented to us by using “unimpeachable” characters the Bush-haters like to traipse out into the public known as “victims.” Better yet, they are using military “veteran” political adversaries of President Bush. Colin (let Libby, Rove, and Cheney, et al. take the heat while I hide under my desk) Powell and John (I hate Bush and will do anything to avenge my loss to him) McCain are expected to come out in defense of the enemy (terrorist) with claims that their “mistreatment” will somehow endanger our own troops. What a load of BULL!

The truth is that the our men and women in the field are asking for clearer interpretations of “interrogation” techniques in order to protect them from the likes of the ACLU, and any terrorist loving prosecutors looking for a media spotlight (much like Fitzgerald) and/or a cheap opportunity to weaken our fight for Freedom. McCain and Powell are claiming this will hurt our troops? RIDICULOUS! Their claims are based on how this will effect the treatment of our men and women captured by the enemy.

Folks, we KNOW how the enemy treats our troops:

• Mogadishu

• Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, of Houston, Texas, and Pfc. Thomas L. Tucker, 25, of Madras, Oregon

We also know how the enemy treats civilian “infidels.” Powell and McCain know FULL WELL that our actions have NO EFFECT on the behavior of the enemy. Well, except maybe one action- BOWING TO MECCA and adopting shariaa law! I believe whole heartedly that this entire fiasco by these men has 2 goals. The first and most obvious one is to lead the "Bash Bush at any Cost" parade in return for glowing praise from the likes of the NYSlimes and our enemy. The second is to help further the UN’s campaign to weaken the United States of America in hopes of handing over full global power to a bunch of elitist corrupt thugs. Don’t fall for the pleas from these folks for “rational” thought. Their kind of “rational” thought will only prolong this war and lead to our defeat, not to mention contribute to not only more troop deaths, but also more civilian deaths.

The second example I would like to submit is this. As the terrorist loving appeasers claim to support our troops, how many of them send care packages to our troops? How many of them have adopted the family of a soldier and helped them in keeping their families as stress free as they can be? How many of them visit Walter Reed to thank our wounded soldiers and/or pray with and for them? How many of them send phone cards to our troops so they can talk with family members? How many of them do their part here at home by demanding border security, thanking men in uniform at home for their service or meet them at the airports to applaud their arrival home? How many of them support the Administration’s efforts to use the tools necessary to thwart terror attacks? How many of them speak out and resist any of the Democrat Party suggested policies and Liberal Freak rhetoric that would emboldens our enemy?

These people are not only LIARS, they are the enemy within our borders; and quite frankly, I am SICK of their con games. PICK A SIDE folks, and be ready to defend it with force- because the enemy is determined, and so are REAL AMERICANS!

Saturday night (September 16th), I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Ann Coulter and Mike Gallagher. The event was sponsored by the Christian Coalition of Georgia and WGKA.

I will be posting all about the events of the evening later, but first- I have to let you all in on a scoop. On Friday, September 15th, 6 radio talk show hosts were invited to a private, closed door, off-the-record meeting with President George W. Bush. Mike Gallagher was one of those hosts, along with Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Neal Boortz, and Michael Medved. Rush Limbaugh was unable to attend.

The meeting was originally planned to run for 30 minutes, but ended up lasting over 90 minutes (about 1 hour and 45 minutes). Since this meeting was “off-the-record” I have to be careful as to what I share with you, but there are a few things Mike Gallagher told me that I can feel I can share with you. First of all, Mike feels strongly that President Bush believes with all his heart in the decisions he is making. President Bush admitted that cameras and media are just not his comfort zone. He is also distrusting of the media. When President Bush was asked if he truly believed if Islam was a “Religion of Peace” he replied that this is not about Islam vs Christianity. This is about good vs evil. If we make this about Christianity vs Islam, we will lose.

In this meeting, President Bush also made it clear that he DOES want to seal the border. There is much more, but I feel it would be inappropriate for ME to be the one to share this information. You all may want to tune in to the talk show hosts that attended to get a better glimpse of such an AWESOME opportunity for these hosts, and find out what they are willing to share with us. I am a huge Rush fan, but I strongly recommend tuning into Mike Gallagher for a WONDERFUL insight and report on this meeting. You can listen to him from noon until 3 pm on WGKA.

I am not going to waste a lot of your time and internet bandwidth on how the Muslim reaction to Pope Benedict’s speech just proves the exact point the Pope’s quote was making. Since I do have some readers who loathe the media, and actually come here for information, I will quickly refresh the facts.

On Tuesday, September 12th, the Pope gave a speech at the University of Regensburg, in Germany. The content of his speech was focused on the use of religion as a reason for violence. Only ONE of the religions mentioned was Islam, and the Pope quoted Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaeologus in one of his lectures. Manuel II was discussing Christianity and Islam with a Persian scientist and accused the Prophet Muhammad of sowing evil and inhumanity and described jihad as spreading religion with the sword.

Since then, the DBM (drive by media- phrase coined by Maha Rushdie) has bombarded us with reports of the Muslim “reaction.” First of all, the actual quote was “Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached”. Instead of prominent, well respected, Muslim leaders coming forth and proving this quote wrong, with examples of “new” things brought by Mohammed, or with examples of “good” or “humane” ways of their religion or the spreading of their religion; we instead see another rash of violence. Talk about proving a point and a making someone’s case FOR them. The Emperor has been dead for centuries, and Muslims still can’t find a way to battle this image? Of course not. We get churches burned, Nuns shot, and Muslims demanding apologies as the say “Sword? What sword?”

When is the world going to wake up? When are we going to stop allowing the violent thugs of Islamofascism to get away with crying “victim?” They claim to be victims of “Imperialism.” They claim to be victims of Jews and Zionism. They claim to be victims of “racial profiling” and suspicion. They are victims of NOTHING but THEIR OWN BEHAVIOR and THEIR OWN CLAIMS!

With that being said, we are victims of nothing more than our worries over PC! When are we going to turn the money spout off to the DBM? When are we going to stop worrying about PC (politically correct) speak and start using EC (eeevil conservative) speak? Look folks- I go by the name of eeevil conservative for a reason. They are going to accuse me of being eeevil for speaking the truth anyway. Who cares what Commie reporters, politicos, and Hollywood types call me? I only care about how I am viewed by those I respect, not the fascists that HATE FREE SPEECH! So I embrace it- just to prove to them and to others that their name-calling won’t stop me from speaking truth.

Let’s be realistic. How many Muslims do you think attended the Pope’s speech? How many Muslims sit around with baited breathe awaiting the words of the Catholic Pope? The only people interested in these words, were ones who could USE these words to facilitate this violent uproar for ratings or personal political agenda. The DBM is nothing more than a bunch of Hollywood wannabees with less brain activity than my scrambled eggs. So why do we give them any validity or credit at all? The hypocrisy and pandering by the Isalmofascists and the DBM are just beyond anything educated, logical, or useful. Time to reclaim COMMON SENSE, and kick them to the curb. As Joe Pesci says, “I’m trew wit dis guy, your honor.”

Usually the EC posts rants or histroy lessons pertaining to current news and/or politics. From time to time a few other things will be thrown in. Later today I will be sharing about meeting Ann Coulter and Mike Gallagher on Saturday night, but for right now- here are some random thoughts on today's news and issues.

Bush: ‘If it’s About Christianity vs. Islam, We’ll Lose’

I gotta tell you- The President is right...

First let me explain what the President actually said..(I know- I was not in the room, and Mike was, but trust me, I was there Saturday night, and I heard the ENTIRE Quote)-

Bush said that we can't make this about Christianity vs Islam, because if it is about Christianity vs Isalm, we will lose.
What is the difference?

It is minor, but what Bush is saying is that if WE, I repeat, IF WE, make it about this, we will lose.

We all know that to the radical Muslims, it is a "holy war" - it is a jihad; to them it is about one religion must rule the globe- THEIRS!

WE must keep this about Freedom, about FREEDOM FOR ALL RELIGIONS. WE must stay focused on FREEDOM, not Christianity is better/truer/more peaceful/the only religion (etc) than Islam.....

The sad thing is that WE have already dropped the ball on this. Right now- any marine, sailor, etc can take the name of Christ in vain, use His name as a swear word, boldly and loudly, etc- this is Free Speech and Christians "offended" by this can just go pound sand....but if the name of Jesus is said out loud in prayer- suddenly you can find yourself in a courtroom...

At the same time- the rules pertaining to the usage of Allah and Mohammed are the opposite! Say the names in honor- you're fine.....but draw a cartoon, or mention the WAY ISLAM is spread, and well......we get calls for assassination, nuns shot, and churches burned.....

President Bush NAILED IT- but you won't hear people debating the truth of it in context--- you will only see the phrase used for ratings and Bush bashing.....and as a tool to try and drive a wedge between our President and his Christian Base......

Senate set to consider fence bill

The Senate has LOST all credibility with me. These self-centered elitists are more committed to their political careers than America and Freedom.

In fact, I think they are almost as dedicated to their careers and the preservation of the false image of the Clintonista Era as the terrorists are dedicated to wiping out Israel........

that kind of dedication tends to get a LOT of INNOCENT PEOPLE KILLED!

The Senate is a corrupt group of commie fascists.....

They put out the 9/11 Commission report writ with scandal and lies. They put our a report on Al Queida (everywhere else on the GLOBE, but-) not in Iraq- another LIE! And now they actively seek every available opportunity to cripple our ability to defend ourselves- weather it be about the 2nd ammendment, securing our borders, protecting the agents charged with keeping us safe with some GUIDLINES and CLARITY on treatment of high level terrorists, or the ability of these same agents to listen to terrorists calling their pals in our own country- the Senate is more of a danger than a help.

I fear Americans ar too busy worrying about stock options and video games to throw a TEA PARTY!

And to all those tin foil hat conspiracy Liberal Freaks claiming the meeting with President Bush with talk show hosts was about receiving "marching orders" from the President- GET REAL!

A private- "off the record" meeting doesn't even come close to Congressiona letters with threats, or letters from attorneys to a major television network for having the audacity to put out a movie that does not give shelter to the LIES and perversions of the 9/11 Commissions official gov't report. Try, just TRY, to practice a LITTLE bit of brain power and logic.

I know, I know, some of you are waiting on my details on meeting Ann Coulter, but inspiration compels me to hit on some other things first; after all, my meeting Ann is very exciting for me, but my hob-knobbing doesn't really help forward the cause of Freedom. Please be patient, I will get to it.

If you were fortunate enough to get through public education before the Clinton Era, you may have heard of the Boston Tea Party. Either way, a visit to the link would be a great refresher for all of us. Our forefathers stood more bravely than any other group in history I can think of, other than the Jews who marched around Jericho, and the Christians fed to lions based on their faith alone. Our heritage is rich with men who have given great sacrifice; not just for Freedom, but for preservation of this Great Union. Their sacrifice was based on the entire premise that it is a God given, God ordained, right and passion of mankind to be free and to be the masters of their own destinies. Freedom is an ache in the heart for those who have never tasted it. But Freedom has become a responsibility and or bore to those who take it for granted. The ache in the heart leads to heroism and bravery. The others have become lazy and complacent.

I long for the day to see every-day Americans find the Caesar Rodney inside of themselves; to find the patriot inside willing to actually make a sacrifice for the future of Americans yet to come. It would be delusional to expect the present-day, "Land of Entitlement," Americans to physically organize a protest to the Washington, DC march to trample our freedoms and liberties at every little turn. I do, however; believe we do have the stomach for a "Ballot Box Tea Party!"

I believe we can dump the "tea bags" of socialist, power hungry, self-indulgent, elitists, into unemployment. I have said this before, and I will say it again. I have yet to ever know of anyone ever elected to any office move to the right. They ALL move to the left. Big Government is not a good idea, until you get to be that Big Government; the one in power. Once in power these folks seem to convince themselves that the ones who believed in them, and GAVE them that power, are suddenly mindless peons who need them to protect ourselves from our own stupidity.

I don't know about you, but I am SICK OF IT. Come November, not only am I headed to the polls, and loading my car with as many REAL AMERICANS as I can find for the trip, but I am passing out a tea bag to at least one person each day until then. Silly? Maybe- but not nearly as silly as an 80 mile trip on horseback, as cancer eats away my face, just to sign my own death warrant.

Tea anyone?

What an event! I had been excited for weeks at the opportunity to see Ann Coulter speak in person. As I walked towards the front doors, I saw men in tuxedos, women in lovely gowns, some carrying books for signing; you could just feel the electricity in the air. My stride quickly morphed from a mad rush to a confident gait of someone who had just hit the lottery! I was here!

I followed the signs in the lobby up the escalators and to the lobby area outside of the ballroom where hundreds of people had already started to gather. There were tables for registration so each guest could find out which table they had been assigned to. There was a table selling Ann’s latest Best Seller, “Godless.” I man I know from the Cobb County GOP recognized me and walked up to greet me. He greeted me with a hug and quickly asked me if I had a ticket for the private reception. “I’m not sure,” I replied, and I quickly presented my ticket.

“You sure do,” he said, and he gave me directions to the private party room. I could hardly believe it. My heart was racing and my stride quickly returned back to a mad rush as I charged to meet Ann. When I arrived to my destination, I was standing in a long line of people winding down a very narrow corridor. We were all smiling and waiting with anticipation to make it to the door. When I finally reached the door a woman stood in the doorway checking the names on her list. In the excitement, I had not registered yet, so I was not wearing a name tag, but was able to show my ticket and talk my way through the door. “WHEW!”

The event was hosted by the Christian Coalition of Georgia and WGKA (a local radio station owned by Salem Communications Corporation). As I entered the room I ran into my State Senator John Wiles, whom I know well from my time as a campaign manager back in 2004. I also met up with Congressmen Tom Price and Phil Gingrey, both of whom I have met before also. They were all very kind and warm in their greeting, but I was there for the main event. I made my way through the crowd towards the front of the room.

Now picture a room filled with rich, sober, Christians in their business cocktail best attire. Everyone was quiet, reserved, and quite stiff, to be frank. Then I showed up. I spotted Ann standing by herself, waiting for the next person in line for a photo-op with her. Just as I spotted her, we locked eyes. I threw my arm up in the air and waved wildly as the other hand gave her thumbs up and I called out “Hey ANN! GREAT TO SEE YOU!” To my surprise, Ann’s face lit up and she waved back with just as much enthusiasm. I am no Ann Coulter, but we crazy women recognize one of our own when we see them.

A friend handed me a form to fill out so I could get my chance to have my picture taken with Ann. I quickly filled out the form, and within 60 seconds, they called me up for my turn. As I walked towards Ann, we both just got giddy. It was amazing. She looked at my dress and said, “Oh my gosh. You are so cute!.” I said, “Oh Thanks! But you look GREAT!” We both turned out bodies towards the camera but kept looking at each other and chatting. She asked me what I do. I answered and then continued to chat. When I told her I was a FREEPer, she threw her arms out arms and exclaimed, “I LOVE FREEPERS! Oh, so you are a HARD CORE conservative. One of my OWN!” We hugged, then posed for the shot and immediately started talking again.

I told her my nickname, “eeevil conservative, with 3 e’s” I added. “Oh that’s easy to remember. I’m looking you up.” By that point we were getting some looks, there were others waiting for their time with Ann. I grabbed her hand and said, “I’m sorry, I need to let you get back to your pictures, you have lots of people here waiting.” With that I walked back over to a friend of mine who had a shocked look on his face. “Do…do…do you know her, have you two met before?” “No,” I replied with a HUGE grin on my face. He just looked at my like “How do you DO THAT!” I just continued smiling and said, “We know one of our own when we see them.”

A few minutes later, Ann opened a gift from one of the other guests. She showed such genuine appreciation and held it up for us all to see. “What a great gift,” she said, thank her adoring fan. As she reached to put the gift back into the package, I called to her, “Hey Ann, let me get a picture of you with it.” She pulled the gift back out and struck a pose for me saying, “I expect to see this all over Free Republic.” “You got it.” I answered, and I snapped the shot.

I then walked over to the beverage table and got myself a glass of ice. I set the glass down and as I reached for a small bottle of Sprite, someone else was reaching for my glass of ice. It was Mike Gallagher. “Hey Mike,” I said. He has the best smile. He smiled back said, “Hi there, I’m sorry was that your glass?” “No problem,” I laughed, “they have plenty more.” And I made myself another glass of ice. I congratulated him on his new spot on WGKA and we chatted for a bit, he took a picture with me, and then we all headed back to the ballroom.

This time, when I got back to the lobby I went to the registration table to get my name tag and find out which table I was assigned to. My name tag showed me assigned to table 13. Not bad for over 80 tables. I walked into the ballroom and a gentleman pointed to the stage and said, your table is up front, right in the center. He wasn’t kidding. My table was right behind Ann’s table. In fact, I sat literally back-to-back with Ann. I could NOT believe it. Talk about feeling quite charmed! There is so much more to share about the speakers, Mike Gallagher and Ann’s turn at the poduim. In order to be friendly to those of us who’s eyes get buggy and blurry after reading too much on a computer monitor, I will finish the “rest of the story” in another post, later.

ENJOY!

Today, Hugo Chavez came to the secure shores of the United States and, to the applause of sycophantic non-aligned members of the UN, proceeded to spew invective against President Bush and the United States. While ignoring the obvious imbecility of the anti-Bush/US comments, there was one comment that did catch my attention. Chavez opined that maybe it was time to move the UN out of the US.

In part, Chavez was augmenting yesterday’s speech by Iranian President Ahmadinejad who called for the Security Council to be changed to better reflect the views of countries not aligned with the U.S. According to liberals, that would be everyone else…

Although I disagree with Ahmadinejad’s ridiculous assumption that leadership of the UN’s Security Council ought to be given to nations with little to no economic or military clout, I do agree that the UN’s Security Council membership ought to be revisited. I also agree that perhaps it is time to evict the ungrateful “we-hate-America-except-when-we-want-your-money-and-even-then-we’ll-complain-it’s-not-enough” tenants of Manhattan.

Proceeding from the assumption that the UN is, in fact, a viable organization (the debate to the contrary is too overwhelming, but for sake of this analysis it is assumed that keeping the UN on life-support is still desired), I would argue that the UN grossly misrepresents the constituents economic capabilities and global impact.

First, in the beginning of 2001, the UN established a scale of assessments whereby the US’ fiscal obligation was reduced to only 22%. Many would argue that the world’s greatest economic superpower can surely afford 22%, and should probably be paying far more. That said, just how much should the US pay to help keep the world safe? In order to appropriately evaluate true economic comparisons, perhaps it would be best to turn to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) data for 2005 concerning the GDP in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP). PPP is a more accurate method of comparing two or more countries as it factors in far more variables than a simple GDP in order to provide a viable comparison, and thus “equalizes” the purchasing power of the various nations.

In 2005, the world’s PPP was approximately $63.4 trillion. The US’ portion of this was $12.94 trillion, or 20.3%. Based upon this data, it would seem that the US is paying a bit more than its far share. Yet this may not be quite accurate as the UN budget for 2005 was $1.83 billion with the US’ assessment at $440 million, or 24%.

What about other nations?

This begs an interesting question. Should the European Union (EU) be treated as a single entity? The EU has certainly evolved since the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, yet even then it has as its foundation a unity of economic strength – essentially an economic union to counterbalance the US’ economy. In fact, the EU’s activities now cover all areas of public policy, to include foreign affairs and defense; there is even an EU flag. Thus, it would not be unrealistic to state that the EU should be treated as a single entity.

If so, based upon the World Bank’s data, the EU’s PPP is $12.95 trillion, virtually the same as the US’ percentage of 20.3% of the world’s economic purchasing power. Therefore, the 25 member states of the EU should be expected to provide 20.3% of the UN’s budget. In truth, they provide 38% of the UN’s budget.

The same holds true for Japan, which has 6.3% of the world’s purchasing power, yet pays 19.6% of the UN budget.

Thus the question must rightly be asked: if these three entities, the US, the EU, and Japan control 47.4 % of the world’s PPP, why is their UN assessment almost 80%? Asked in another way, why do 27 countries provide 82% of a UN budget that has a membership of 191 countries?

However, before one quickly points out the disparity between first and third world nations (are they called that any more??), the data for some other nations ought to be examined. For example, China, which controls 16.6% of the world’s PPP, contributes only 1.5% to the UN budget. India provides only 0.3% of the UN’s fiscal needs yet controls almost 6% of the world’s PPP. While not as egregious, Russia’s 1.2% UN assessment in less than half of its 2.7% global strength. Indonesia, with the 15th largest purchasing power parity at 1.5% pays only 0.2% of the UN’s annual requirements.

It is glaringly obvious that other member states are not providing their fair share.

Yet this brings up another interesting concern. If Russia pays only 1.2% of the UN’s general budget, China pays 1.5%, the UK 5.5%, France 6.4% and the US pays 22%, why does each of the five wield equal veto power as permanent members of the Security Council? Further, if the EU is a separate entity, then both France and the UK should be replaced with a single representative from the EU. Likewise, Russia ought to be replaced as being of insufficient economic strength to justify its place of authority on the Security Council.

In all fairness, based upon the five permanent member structure, the new Security Council should be comprised of the EU, US, China, Japan, and India.

Further, any UN missions requiring a UN presence should have a greater balance in its UN representation, especially based upon population demographics. As China and India together have a far greater percentage of the global population – 37%, it seems fair that they ought to bear the greater burden of providing individuals for such missions, with other member nations providing additional materials and supplies as appropriately apportioned. The same population standard should apply to every other nation. Countries such as Indonesia or Pakistan or Bangladesh, or even Mexico and Viet Nam must be expected to provide their fair share of global peacekeepers.

Yet this still begs the question to both Chavez and Ahmedinejad – will your two countries step up to the proverbial “plate” and deliver the leadership and financial benefits of being global leaders? It’s interesting to note that of all the global humanitarian organizations, largely funded by the US and EU, none are headquartered in either the Middle East or South America. When the tsunami rampaged across Indonesia, the most populous Muslim nation in the world, where were Venezuela and Iran? For that matter, where were the other nations of South America and the Middle East? It is true that Venezuela contributed a paltry $2 million for the relief efforts. As of this writing, I have been hard pressed to find any Tsunami contributions made by Iran. Perhaps there wasn’t much left over from the checking account to Hamas.

Of the contributions for the Tsunami relief, only 2% came from Middle Eastern nations. And the amount contributed by Venezuela was far less than Chavez spent on buying votes for his election.

Thus, the question stands to both Chavez and Ahmedinejad – if neither of you have the economic capability to be something other than a regional irritant, if neither of you can offer the world something more constructive than verbal platitudes, if neither of you can contribute to the world’s economic benefit, why should anyone listen? Further, one has to question either gentleman’s legitimacy as global patrons of peace, especially Ahmedinejad who has repeatedly called for the total elimination of another UN member nation. In truth, their perceived power derives from agitation, for both are morally bankrupt, offering inanity instead of solution. Hmmm, sounds like the Democratic Party.

I know I haven’t addressed moving the UN out of the US… but isn’t that obvious?

The London Times story "We'll bomb you to Stone Age, US told Pakistan," the President of Pakistan, Musharraff, claims that Armitage made this threat. Armitage denies the exact wording, but not the premise.

My thoughts:

Richard, what a STUPID thing to say. Bringing these people into the Stone Age would be PROGRESS, not a threat!

Let me repeat!

DISABLED GAL CAN'T DECIDE LIFE OR DEATH

September 22, 2006 -- In a case of "Whose life is it anyway?" a state appeals court ruled yesterday that a mentally handicapped woman has no say over whether she should be kept alive on life support.

In the unanimous decision, a five-judge panel ruled that the 26-year-old - who says she wants to be kept on life support in the event she's felled by illness or an accident - isn't competent to make that decision. Instead, her mother, who is her legal guardian, gets to make the call - and she doesn't want her daughter on life support.

A lawyer for the woman, identified only as Chantel R., did not return a call for comment. The decision says the woman has an IQ of 52, about the mental capacity of a 7-year-old, "but otherwise does not suffer from any particular illness."

To apply the term "extremist" to pro-lifers is patently absurd and ridiculous! Even those who would like to argue that one has the "right" to choose death, need to get a grip on cases like this one. Before you ever begin to even consider sentencing an INNOCENT person to death, you DEATH WORSHIPPING , "COMPASSIONATE," LIBS, should be demanding irrefutable proof that this person UNQUESTIONABLY and UNEQUIVOCALLY TRULY WISHES TO BE DEAD!

No judge, no jury, no doctor, no spouse, no legal guardian, no relative, or ad litum should ever have any power to choose death for another living soul. EVER!

Just to be clear, we are talking about INNOCENT human beings. We are not talking about terrorists (whom you all LOVE to defend against having underwear draped on their heads because it is "humiliating and degrading") or murderous thugs (like your hero Tookie).

The desire to live is the most basic instinct within every human being. To deny ANYONE the right to live goes against the VERY FOUNDATION of HUMANITY, let alone to our nation. To say someone is unable to choose to LIVE due to lack of the ability to speak or mental ability is cruel, inhumane, INSANE, and the most extreme assertion that could possibly be made. In just the example above; ask any 7 year old if they want to live or die. If that child chose to “die,” any decent human being would rush this child in for therapy and begin digging to find out why such a feeling would exist in her.

And don't start screaming and howling about who should "pay" for the care of such a person, you Libs never saw a social hand-out you didn't love. Not to mention that no one has any right to breath such gibberish and nonsense until they start screaming about the amount of money Americans pay out in health care to illegal invaders you nuts like to refer to as "undocumented immigrants." The ability of you Liberal Freaks to twist the definitions of words that have been perfectly understood for thousands of years is just beyond the best con and spin campaign our forefathers could have ever imagined, and YOU KNOW IT!

I'd venture to say this 26 year old woman, with the mental capacity of a 7 year old, is worlds above the intellect of the morons who think this kind of thing is acceptable, let alone anything BUT pure eeevil.

Heads up - be sure to watch Fox News Sunday tomorrow. This week's program will feature a Chris Wallace interview with BJ Clinton in which Clinton gets quite hot under the collar, and continues to tell lies to the American people while blaming everyone else for his own failures as Commander and Chief. This is a MUST see. Check your local listings for the scheduled program.

The interview is obviously pre-recorder, so I cannot testify as to how much will actually be aired. What I can tell you is that my sources tell me that in the actual interview Clinton states, "All of President Bush’s neocons claimed that I was too obsessed with finding Bin Laden...." WHAT!? BJ is now saying that "Bush's neocons" accused him of being obsessed with Osama? It was CLINTON who claimed he had a virtual obsession with Osama! The man (and I use that term loosely) is delusional at best.

Watch the mental hoops one has to jump through to believe this man. He claims that the only reliable source for the facts on government failures for 9/11 is the "official" 9/11 Commission Report. We all know that this report was doomed to be a failure of accuracy and truth the moment the Dems picked their team of participants. Not to mention Sandy's "doc's in his socks" illegal ceasing of classified documents and destroying them in order to protect those truly responsible for not protecting America from the terrorist who declared war against us in 1998.

We will be exploring a lot of examples of Clinton's failures in the near future, but just to give you a taste of what is to come:

A tape of Osama specifically threatening to attack American ships aired on Qatar TV on September 12, of 2000. The USS Cole attack took place on October 12 of 2,000. Here are just 2 examples of the Clintonista excuses about the attack:

Oct 12 2000 - Transcript of Albright remarks Q: Madame Secretary, I was reading the description of Yemen in our latest terrorist report, and I'm wondering why this country was ever taken off the terrorist list when there are groups like the Islamic Jihad; Hamas has an office there; Palestinian Islamic Jihad -- all of these apparently still have a presence there. Osama bin Laden has a presence there. Why was this country removed or not put back on the list of terrorist-sponsoring states when a country like North Korea, which has no terrorists, as far as I know, is still on the list?

Sec. Albright: Well, as you know, we're very careful in determining how that list is put together. And there are a variety of considerations in it, and we obviously felt that there was a reason to.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!? Her answer is…(translation from PC speak to EC speak) ”because we felt like it.”

But as we learn more……

Oct 12 2000 - William Cohen's comments Several reporters questioned the decision to fuel the ship in Yemen, but [Admiral Vern] Clark said that refueling of U.S. ships in Aden began last year and that there had been three refueling operations since last May. He noted that the United States has been working for some time to improve its relations with Yemen.

It sounds like the “reason” they “felt like it” was because they did the old UN, pacifist, carrot and stick thing that works so well with the terror thugs of the world. They wanted “better relations” with Yemen. But instead of making Yemen actually “earn” better relations, or “earn” being crossed off the list by actually NOT SPONSORING TERRORISTS, The Clinonistas let Yemen off the hook in hopes they would then suddenly “like us” and get tough on terror?

What a bunch of buffoons! Utter Buffoons! Can you believe this group of whimpering poll worshippers were actually in charge of defending America and American citizens?

There is so much more to this folks, some of it was covered in the ABC movie, "The Path to 9/11," but if you want to know ALL the facts, don't rely on the white-wash Congressional version. I highly recommend Losing bin Laden: How Bill Clinton's Failures Unleashed Global Terror by Richard Miniter.

Most of my best sources were senior Clinton officials, including both of his national-security advisers, his first CIA director, Clinton's counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, Madeline Albright, and others. Plus, I interviewed scores of career federal officials. None of them are card-carrying members of the vast right-wing conspiracy. ......

If anyone has any doubts about the credibility of this book, they should read the acknowledgements, which list many of my sources. Or peruse the more than 15,000 words of footnotes, that allow the reader to see exactly where information is coming from. Or examine the intelligence documents reproduced in Appendix B. Or pick a page at random and read it. Any fair-minded reader will see a carefully constructed and balanced account that attempts to lay out the history of Clinton and bin Laden.

The World Trade Center was attacked 38 days after Clinton took office. Clinton never visited the World Trade Center, and went so far as to make up in his own mind that it couldn’t have been an attack, it must have been “a electrical transformer had exploded or a bank heist went bad.” (Richard Minter) Thankfully, the people who actually DID visit the scene of the crime were eventually able to convince him he was wrong. Here is a list of terror attacks under Clinton (found here) .

• 1993 - First World Trade Center bombing, February 26: 6 Killed, 1,000 injured
• 1993 - Attack at CIA Headquarters in McLean, VA, January 25: 2 Killed, 3 injured
• 1995 - Killing of two US Diplomats in Pakistan, March 8, 1995
• 1996 - Khobar Towers bombing: 19 American servicemen killed

Ben Laden declared war against the United States during Clinton’s watch. Yasser Arafat warned Clinton that any attacks against terrorists would stop any efforts on his behalf to engage in peace talks. Clinton desperately wanted to leave office with a big feather in his cap, brokering a “peace deal” between Israel and the PLO. Clinton never understood terrorism. Clinton never wanted to understand terror, let alone deal with it. He was building a resume, protecting American citizens was quite a nuisance.

In fact, while some claim that Clinton was afraid of military action, Clinton DID take us into war. Only Clinton decided to join the wrong side; the side of the Bosnian Muslim terrorists that “were bolstered by significant numbers of mujahedeen and Islamic fundamentalists and volunteers from Afghanistan” (emphasis mine- I strongly recommend reading the entire page at the preceding link) in Kosovo.

Let’s see… what else is there:

• Iraq was filled with happy kids flying kites (I think I need a drink, where is that bottle of whiskey?)
• The UN was guarding the gates of Iraq and saving the Iraqi people from starvation (my eyes are bleeding)
• North Korea was turning into a peaceful pillar of integrity (reaching for my duct tape)
• Yemen was relieved of terror status and we started refueling our ships in Aden the year before the USS Cole was attacked. (daggnabbit, too much whiskey, can’t get the cap off my meds, did child proof lids happen under Clinton too?)

So, after I good look at Clinton’s war on terror…..how do you FEEL? (we know it’s not about facts with the Liberal Freaks, it’s all about how we FEEEEEEEL!) How do I feel?

I have been a news and politics junkie for years- I've been reading, researching, writing, listening to talk radio and involved in activism. I created my own web site, and it sparked interest in me as a co-host for a talk radio show.

I have also been involved in creating a pilot for another radio talk show for several months now. Both will be hitting the air.

I became an avid fan of Herman Cain's radio show last year, but when he announced his move from WGKA (920 AM in Atlanta,GA.), to WGST, I just happened to run into someone from WGKA two days later at a GOP luncheon in Atlanta. Of course, I asked who was taking Herman's place. (yes- jumping in his grave...) Through that conversation, and other things, here I am. God truly opened the doors and guided me.



now- there are 2 shows- I will eventually have to make a decision between the 2 shows, so please keep me in your prayers that God gives me wisdom and discernment. Here are the skinny on the 2 shows. (Both are with 920 AM WGKA)

"Control Congress" is the theme of the first show. John Konop- who ran against Tom Price in the Republican Primary is the host, and I am his co-host. John Konop also spoke at the Minuteman Rally during their caravan to Washington DC when they stopped here at the Atlanta Capitol. The web site is still being tweeked, but I will be providing a link to the site soon.

The first show airs on Saturday, October 7th at 2 pm- 3 pm Eastern Time (of course). Feel free to register and comment on any of the articles at the web site. If you are interested in advertising on the web site and/or radio show- let me know. We will even create the ads for you. We will have a lot great guests, and debate. John is also determined to have a lot of fun, with us bantering and picking on each other endlessly! (My family has trained me well for this!!!!)

The second show- THE HUB- consists of a panel of 4 regulars (we have had many people participate and I made the cut to the final four. Almost like a Survivor meets talk radio) - other than the 4 panelists- there will be a "host" or facilitator- that is Joel Foster, and each week we will have a guest. This show will not be LIVE at first- it will be pre-recorded- but calls in are strongly encouraged..... The focus of this show is more pop-culture. News of the days, but with a much lighter appraoch and topics. This show is geared towards a younger demographic and for the very ADD or ADHD people out there..like me.... The show is recorded at a Buckhead cafe- called The Bucket Shop - on Monday nights, and the show will debut on Saturday, October 7th, at 6 pm - 7 pm.

I hope you will all tune in!

Stretch Face Pelosi has once again managed to miss the boat and put focus of the "debate" on a tried and failed policy. Dealing with terrorists in the realm of law enforcement, instead of the realm of WAR (which is EXACTLY the terrorists' stated purpose) is flat out stupid. Yes, STUPID! There is no doubt we, as a nation and a free people, face great issues, great problems, and a great feat ahead. But once again, not only does the proposed solution of Liberal Freaks perpetuate and enhance the problems we face; they also fail to recognize that their approach to the problem of terrorism is exactly what lead to the growth of the problem that allowed the slaughter and attack of 9/11 to occur.

Terrorists are not mere law-breakers. They are militants set on the death and destruction of free societies as a whole. They do not seek peace. They seek war, and they have made no secret about it. Firmly planting your head in the sand, dear Pelosi, achieves nothing but a sunburned hind end. And frankly, I'm not interested. The real "global warming" going on is the Leftist scraping and scrounging for power again adding to the fire on earth known as Islamofascism.

If you have not read Stretch's remarks from yesterday, grab some duct tape and a bottle of meds (or liquid medication- I suggest Margaritas). You can read the ridiculous ramblings HERE. The woman knows we don't have any war time agreement with Al Qaeda. She knows the Supreme Court has no basis for claiming that we DO have a treaty with any terrorist organization, yet she insists the Constitution is a suicide pact, and the Supreme Court seems to agree. How she claims that this is a "friendly" relationship with the "Administration" is beyond logic.

Pelosi needs to talk to her FRIENDS (terrorists- better known as America's sworn enemy) about the "Golden Rule" and stop lecturing the people she is sworn to SERVE. This is not a popularity contest Nancy, it is serious business. It is not a word game, or a slight of hand magic trick with the foundation of our existence known as the Constitution. It is the task of protecting Americans from perpetually ticked-off, murderous, thugs. The loser doesn't go home with fish sticks instead of filet mignon. The loser will cease to exist. This is the depth of the dedication of the enemy we face. There is but one choice. It is as simple as us or them. They have made that clear.

Many things are up for debate, but when it comes to dealing with terrorists in a way that offers them the safety and the privileges of American citizens, you not only degrade the sacrifiice of our forefathers; but you also mock at the blood they shed in order to assure the rights of future generations of Americans they died for. They believed their very own lives were less important than the vision of the DREAM of AMERICA, and in contrast you can't get past your self-absorbed stature and quest for power as the most important thing in our world.

You have chosen your side, now reap the storm.

Why are we still arguing over going into Iraq? I could cite fact after fact about WHY we went into Iraq. People who claim that President Bush purposely lied the American people in order to go into Iraq have some serious flaws in their analysis that they have to address, To start with, why were the biggest Democrat politicians, now whining about Iraq, singing the exact opposite song about Iraq before Bush was even elected?

The idea of invading Iraq and overthrowing Saddam did not originate with President Bush. Let us look at reality and not just blindly accept every crazy claim manufactured out of blind partisan hatred. Has the War in Iraq been perfect? Heck no. However, the criticisms launched over the handling of Iraq are not fueled by ideas of a better way, but are merely the fodder of demagogues who believe they can ride the issue for domestic partisan advantage. There is a big picture here that the partisan hacks refuse to acknowledge. It is the elephant in the room. In order to see the BIG picture, we need to take a look at history.

Let's start with the REAL war here. The real war is the extremist Muslims against anyone who is NOT an extreme Muslim. Mohammad returned from his "retreat" into the desert with a new vision and a new religion. When he returned to his hometown, the people, knowing Mohammad all his life, basically laughed him off. Can you imagine growing up in your small neighborhood, taking a 40 day hike and then returning to claim you are a prophet? All the people who remember when you tried to cut your own hair, when you played on the local baseball team and had a batting average of zero, or awoke at a slumber party with toothpaste all over your face; are now supposed to believe you are a prophet. Must have been tough for ol' Mohammad.

So, Mohammad skipped town, and started spreading his religion elsewhere. The humiliation of his hometown response must have haunted him, because he returned with an army to help persuade these same folks to convert. This set the precedent of how to spread "True Islam".

When Mohammad could not win with words, he won with a sword. In Mo's defense, many of today's prominent religions have a history of violence. The Arabs also aided in giving us our numeric system based on tens (or decimals). Sadly, it seems the Arabs have had a bit of difficulty progressing beyond the ability to count to ten. Each religion has gone through their transition period. What we in the West call "An Enlightenment."

There's more. The fighting among the Muslims themselves has been going on since old Mo took his original dirt nap. HERE is just one great source of information on this history. Also, keep in mind that the Iranians are not Arabs, they are Persians.

Now let's fast forward. Iraq was actually a British colony. The hatred toward the West stems in part from the days of Imperialism and Colonization. Traditionally the three groups that make up Iraq, Sunni, Shia and Kurds, have been encouraged to hate each other. A classic example of the "Divide and Conquer" school of Imperialism. What is happening in Iraq is an outgrowth of that strategy. Let’s put it in terms Political Leftist might understand. Let's pretend that abortion clinic- bombing radical Christians went to war against Planned Parenthood. In such a "Civil War" 90 percent of Americans would NOT be fighting. No matter which side Americans might agree with more, they would not want to see the blood shed and war taking place at all. This is what is going on in Iraq today. Various violent gangs are waging war on each other and the Iraqi Government. Most Iraqis do not support the bloodshed and violence taking place. After all the civilians in Iraq are by far the most likely victims! The Terrorist "Insurgency" kills far more innocent civilians than they kill of Coalition and Iraqi Security forces combined.

There is also a difference in culture. We have been fortunate to grow up in a place where conflict is handled peacefully, and lawfully, so we reject the idea of violence to settle differences. This is NOT the culture of the Middle East. As pointed out, when Mohammed could not win with words, he won with a sword. In the Middle East, ideas are accepted, and gain influence, only if backed by the use of power. He with the most guns wins. I would LOVE for us to be able to deal with the terrorists without war, but they have not gone through their “Enlightenment” yet.

This War on Terror is forcing a long-needed reassessment within Islam to take place. You see, this blood shed needs to happen. Like the West did after World War I, The Islamic World needs to get to the point where they are sick of the death and the waste and futility of war. The Islamic world still has not learned, as the West did in World War I that "Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori." (It is sweet and right to die for one's country") is a lie. Until the Islamic Nations bleed enough to learn there is utterly no glory in war, there can be no peace between us. Unfortunately, this Enlightenment will not be an easy, or quick, process. It will be take generations for the Islamic Enlightenment to work itself out completely. Terrorists are a devoted bunch of folks and they are not going to just lay down their bombs and look for another career.

This is a two-front war. One needed to be fought both in the realm of ideas and on the battlefield. Until Militant Islam gives up its bazaar fantasies of World domination and accept the realities of Peaceful Coexistence, their can be no peace between us and them.

Secondly, the fighting and attacks are fueled by outside influences who are seeking the defeat of the US (and Western civilization as a whole). They gain if they can create not only a state to foster the continued war against the infidel, but also to use as proof to support their “America is a Paper Tiger" propaganda. Many of the fighters are not even Iraqi citizens. Iraq has merely become the battlefront for a war that has been brewing far before Clinton ever took office. Clinton is not to blame for the War on Terror. Bush is not to blame. There is plenty of blame to go around, but if anyone takes a long and honest look at history, they will see that this is a culmination and boiling point for a struggle that we made the mistake of believing was settled long ago. It was never settled, only the violence was contained. The violence has long been going on; we were merely arrogant enough to assume it did not involve us because they did not attack us here at home.

So, in order for the world to achieve TRUE peace, we must do 3 things. We must let them know that we are willing and more then able to destroy them. We must show them an option exists for them to put down their weapons and seek non-violent ways to advance their cause. We also need to instill hope for the future by showing Muslim youths that while Democracy may not give them everything, it will give them hope for a better tomorrow.

I haven't even touched on the role of Israel, but that is for another day, not to mention that Israel is only the tool and symbol that Dictators and Terror Leaders USE to fuel the modern hatred towards the West. But the hatred existed far before Israel was ever created. The root of the violence stems from Mo’s idea of spreading the Great News of God. Go figure....
