Let's see, Muslim radicals killed about 3000 US citizens - mostly civilians - just about 9 years ago and now it is perfectly fine to build a Muslim monument (aka mosque) about 2 blocks from where the murders took place. About 150 years ago a large part of our citizens decided they wanted to seperate from the rest of the country. A war was fought to stop that and the same people that can't understand why some oppose the mosque are themselves opposed to simply flying a flag that represents those citizens. Am I the only one that sees a discrepancy here?

Finished the book That Printers of Udell and I have recommended it to several people. It should be required reading in schools and also for any Patroit.

Where is J.Edgar Hoover and why is the FBI Hiding from the Government.If J.E.H. was still alive you bet that OB-HAMA....would not have been elected in the first place and probably half of the congress.OH!I remember when all the Nazi's in the 1940's were all rounded up and we nailed them suckers to the wall. Where is the the CIA,FBI,and all the rest of secret sevices? Are they afraid of this Administration.They are government employees and they gat paid with my tax dollars.How come we don't hear about their investigations into Muslim affairs in the U.S. and our Guardian Angels(military personel)are defending our country everywhere in the world along with our homeland defense in the USA Where OH Where is the FBI.The well laid plans of mice and men..Sorry MR.Hoover,don't roll over in your grave.

Throughout history adherence to diverse religious principals has drawn a normally peaceful public into uncountable conflicts. Who really care who prays where as long as they present no danger to the neighbors. Perhaps it time to hold each religion accountable for there social impact by saddling them with deffined public/social responsibilities. Using their generous tax escapement plans to serve society according to their philosophy would go a long ways toward closing the social service gap. They all preach it but few actually do it.

Ringing endorsement: "My dad was an automobile man, he said 'Joey there is good paying jobs there.' I went and applied for a job on the third shift. Had they hired me, I'd be a proud UAW member and you would be in real good luck -- I wouldn't be vice president." --Joe Biden in Toledo, Ohio

No, Joe -- if you'd been a UAW worker, now you'd be just another guy standing in the unemployment line.

There was a news report the other day that all of the workers at the New York Times building spontaneously emptied out onto 8th Ave in Manhattan when a report cleared the wire that 3,000 bottlenose dolphins were trapped by heartless fishermen in the East River. They came with their laptops blazing, digital cameras firing, and grabbed camera crews from CBS, NBC, and CNN to capture their loud noise-making and witty put-downs of the unshaven cretins slaughtering the beloved creatures.

Suddenly, the fishermen, clearly being of the Muslim persuasion, produced signs declaring their right to fish in accordance with the divine wishes of the Prophet Mohammed and rolled their sleeves up to indicate that they were ready to exercise the other important thing that Mohammed taught them, “punch back”.

The NY Times workers, and their accomplices became wildly disoriented. Columnists Maureen Dowd and Paul Krugman, in their hysteria, shouted that they had been assured that these were Christian fishermen and would offer no resistance. “These people are not our enemy” cried Larry King. (he thought he was interviewing Flipper). We must find out who sent this wire story they screeched as they marched back arm-in arm, wailing, “We’ve been Out-Foxed”.

Once back safely in the Times castle they set to firing-off clever columns and planted news stories. Dowd claimed that this was a “deep national lunacy” to think that these proud peace-loving fishermen wanted anything but outreach and reconciliation to the dolphins. The head of the fishermen stated that if any dolphins were harmed it would only be a natural reaction on their parts to the licensed fisherman on the other shore that kept them down. “Bravo”! “Well said kind fisherman!” blared for the castle megaphones on MSNBC.

Sadly, we must report that all 3,000 dolphins were captured and consumed by the peace-loving Muslim fishermen. However, President Obama has joined with them and lauded the construction of a dolphin /fishermen understanding complex on the site of the dolphin kill. “Of course”, he said. “Only the most bigoted dolphins would refuse to help build it.’

"That nearly all of President Obama's major policies have gone against public will is fueling voter anger across the nation." --columnist Michael Goodwin

Once again: The correct policy guide is not public will, it's the Constitution. "Public will" is volatile and traditionally ill-informed - the beauty of the Constitution is that it states, in simple terms, the policy wisdom derived from time-tested observations human behavior that does not change with the political seasons.

It is not always the same thing

to be a good man and a good citizen.

----Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC)

All I can say is that November will be here soon. GOP all the way!!!

To all those lefties in favor of building the mosque within 2 blocks of Ground Zero, I ahve a suggestion. Perhaps, in exchange for a lessening of the resistance to the mosque, you would allow McDonalds, Taco Bell, Burger King, et al. to build new restaurants in cemetaries, specifically, over your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents graves. It amounts to the same thing. Just because they have the right to build their mosque on that site, does not give them the freedom to do so.

Mr. McGarry: She is not a news producer. She is a reporter who was stating that a news producer had walked the distance in 2 minutes 45 seconds.

I often wonder and consider that since [and I assume] the people running this country are not stupid why are they allowing such large debt to run this nation to ruin. The only conclusion I come up with is that it is a PLANNED EVENT. My pea brain just can’t wrap around any other reason.

Thanks – keep up the good work.

Howard Dean says the Democrats have better candidates, which is why they will hold the House in the Nov elections. Better than what? Pelosi, Rangel, Maxine Waters, all of them who could not be bothered to read the bills they are voting on and allow a bill still be written after they vote to be sent to the Senate? Better than Who?

14th Amendment: "All persons born ... in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens..."

Janet Napolitano said the right thing, but it's only right if her statement is taken out of context. It is unnecessary to amend the 14th Amendment to block citizenship for children born illegally in the United States.

Foreigners who are here illegally are not supposed to be under the jurisdiction of the United States. Therefore, it is improper to construe the 14th Amendment to automatically confer citizenship on their children. This situation is one of the reasons the jurisdiction clause was included in the amendment. "During the original debate over the amendment Senator Jacob M. Howard of Michigan—the author of the Citizenship Clause—described the clause as excluding American Indians who maintain their tribal ties, and "persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers."" http://www.ask.com/wiki/Fourteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

A QUESTION AND AN ANSWER

The question is straightforward and painfully simple. Does Islam honestly qualify as a ‘religion’? Other than Islam, which touts Allah as their supreme deity, no other ‘religion’ boasts a deity commanding his subjects to murder in his name, to enslave their women, to practice pedophilia and polygamy, to face in so-called prayers, the birthplace of their one false suspect prophet, to offer alms giving as their only charitable work, to practice deception (taqiyya) and outright lying as a defense of their beliefs. To murder their own children for any perceived slur the child may have brought upon the family honor.

The list goes on ad nauseam. The answer too is straightforward and painfully simple; No! Islam does not qualify as a religion! It is more a cult similar to but far larger than those of James Jones and of David Koresh who was mercilessly ‘crushed’ by Janet Reno and the Clinton Administration. Therefore, I would differ with those, including Sarah Palin who noted that the ‘Muslims have the right to build the ‘Ground Zero’ Mosque but should they do so?’

The practice of Islam is too far outside the pale of a beneficent, humanitarian and loving religion. It is quite obvious that there is an ulterior motive couched in the phrase, “The Cordoba Initiative” that drives Islam in this instance. Quoting Tony Vega,NY Political Buzz Examiner

“From the rubble of the WTC, Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, president of the Cordoba Initiative, called for Islamic dawa and sharia law on American soil, usurping the American Constitution.

Some that pride themselves as Patriots believe it is their constitutional duty to protect that Imam’s “right” to build his Initiative in the shadows of Ground Zero.

The framers did not intend the Constitution to be a suicide pact, nor did the framers desire that the Constitution be used by our enemies or supporters of the same to tear us asunder, or as a tool to promote useful idiots.

Supporters of dawa, jihad and sharia law and the furtherance of the same wrap themselves in a cloak of religious freedom and we say, “Welcome to America.” How easy are we?” Read Tony’s entire piece at”http://www.examiner.com/political-buzz-in-new-york/the-cordoba-initiative-mosque-near-ground-zero. Therefore, it is my unequivocal, Hell No! in answer to: Should Muslims be allowed to desecrate Ground Zero?

One final note, Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf has made use of several useful idiots to foster his nefarious scheme, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg who is doing a major disservice not only to New York City and the families of the 9/11 victims but to the Worldwide Jewish community as well.

"I'm not supposed to call it stimulus. The message experts in Washington have told us that we're supposed to call it the recovery plan. I'm puzzled by that. Most people would rather be stimulated than recover." --Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA)

This is an insite into the deception being conducted against the American people. This is propaganda pure and simple. It is illegal for our government to conduct psychological operations against American citizens. Mr. Frank is blatantly telling us they have "message experts" whose sole purpose is to package messages in a way which deceive us from their original purpose with the intention to change our behavior. We all understand this to be true, but can anyone truly understand the implications of this VERY SERIOUS offense?

In response to Joe Biden's comment in Toledo, should we not ask why he couldn't even get hired on as third shift at an automobile plant yet he's qualified to be vice-president?

To all the Village Idiots:

With its estimate Tuesday that the $787 billion Obama stimulus package created up to 2.1 million jobs in the last quarter of 2009, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) joined in the near-unanimous chorus of voices proclaiming the package's success. Of course, it wasn't just the overwhelming consensus of economists which concurred that the stimulus saved or created about two million jobs while adding over three percentage points to U.S. gross domestic product. As the Washington Times, the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and ThinkProgress all documented, the hypocritical groveling of Republican Congressmen for stimulus dollars they opposed only served the validate that the recovery package was good public policy.

Echoing Obama administration claims that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) produced a net of between 1.5 and 2.0 million jobs for the economy, the CBO estimated that the economic stimulus law added between 1 million to 2.1 million workers to employment rolls by the end of last year. As ABC noted, the Recovery Act "also boosted the country's economic growth by 1.5 to 3.5 percent during the time period and lowered the nation's unemployment rate by between 0.5 and 1.1 percentage points."

And going forward, the CBO forecasts, the picture is brighter still:

CBO projects that the stimulus measure to have a greater impact this year, boosting gross domestic product by 1.4 to 4 percentage points and lowering the unemployment rate by 0.7 to 1.8 percentage points.

Just imagine where we would be if the right-wingers had their way: 12-13% unemployment? I thought the Bush tax cuts would be good for the economy? Let the fact deniers and excuses begin...

Obama's failed "stimulus" program has cost more than the Iraq war.

Re: FACTS' comment

If you are correct(and of course, you are not),and the stimulus spent $787 billion dollars to "create or save" 2.1 million jobs, then that comes out to $374,761.90 per job. A pretty sorry bargain if you ask me.

Facts,

Member of The Deluded

Where to begin...So you think hypocritical groveling VALIDATES the recovery pkg as good public policy...?? and what of the very need to pass this act to prevent unemployment from exceeding 8%? You and the other 'useful idiots' think that since the Gov't makes money we won't run out. I would say think again, but that presupposes thought in the first place. Speaking of fact deniers, how about you and your fellow liberal sycophants in the media decrying the employment numbers when Bush was in office and that was when they were at 5%!!!!! Now the media talks as if we just have to get use to double digit unemployment. You are right to imagine, as many of us do, what it would be like if Conservatives had their way, but wrong to think it would be worse.

I agree with that guy above who posted under the name of "Facts". That guys is a sensible guy and you can trust what he says. His very name: "Facts" suggests that his every word can be relied on.

Now that the stimulus plan has gone into effect, the stock market has more than doubled in value over the last eight months. The Dow Jones Industrial Average just hit 16,000! The national debt has now been paid back, and indeed the rising of the waters has slowed to a trickle.

Unemployment is at an historical low, and the Martian Colonization Project is set to launch this fall. Every American has a home, food on the table, and a car or two in the garage.

You see? All it took was a simple understanding of the New Golden Rule: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

Don't Worry, Be Happy!, and don't blaspheme against Mohammed (peace be upon him) or we'll be forced to sever your arms and legs from your body on the right and left sides.

To all the Demo-gogues:

Facts:

When you send a e-mail that backs up the stimulus bill and the $787 Billion dollars spent by the Obama Administration, you should include some "Facts" and not "estimates"!!!

Here are some facts. Unemployment in my county is 18%. It is 10% in my home state of California. There is no high paying, high technology jobs being created under the stimulus package. Mortgage foreclosures are at a all time high.

Everything the Obama Administration has done has been an outright failure. There has been no bi-partisanship. There has been transparency and chance to review bills before passage. There has been no "Pay-As-You-Go" balance the budget as promised. ObamaCare is a joke. Twenty State are suing the Federal Government over Obamacare. Obama's Justice Department and Attorney General Holder are suing Arizona over their bill to close the border because Obama has Congress has failed to do so. His mortgage bailout was a waste of the taxpayer's money, as was his "Cash for Clunkers" fiasco.

I wonder how Daisy Kahn would explain the apparently similar "CONQUEST" goal of her fellow Muslims to want to top ground zero with a mosque rising upward from its ashes to the mosques in Istanbul and Cordoba Spain that are built directly on top of conquered Christian church ashes? It it well publicized at this point that building mosques over their conquered enemies (the infidels) is the life blood of their unsavory goal to "KILL THE INFIDEL" and build a mosque on the conquered site. So, Daisy, prove this "rumor" wrong by going to your own homeland and buid your Cordova mosque in the sand in a less devious manner. Spare us your takeover goals and rules and assimilate or leave our most amazing, belevolent country.

Its not so much we hate muslims...its just that to look at baby raping, camel screwing, wife beating, head chopping, lying , satan worshipping morons....just ...just ...makes us nauseous!

Tsk, tsk people. You didn’t recognize Facts comment as sardonic satire. Clue: fulsome praise for the brilliant recovery plan which had to be rushed thru in a hurry to keep unemployment below 8%, and everybody knows how well that goal was met.

This is a bad time to be black and running for office. Notwithstanding the economy, they have to deal with the possibility that Obama will support them.

"Victimitis: "'We are deeply concerned, because this is like a metastasized antisemitism. It's beyond Islamophobia. It's hate of Muslims.'" --Daisy Khan, wife of Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, leader of the planned Ground Zero mosque"

I would say that she's definitely an expert on anti-antisemitism after being a practitioner so long.

I must challenge Mr. Fwank on his analogy. Mr. Fwank, think of a comatose patient, 'stimulus' to this patient is someone sticking pointed probes in their extremities hoping for a reaction, 'recovery' is the patient waking up and saying "Stop poking me already!", so Mr. Fwank, speaking for myself and only perhaps the rest of the 'sane' in this country, I would prefer to 'recover'.

No we did not dislike Reagan, but we did dislike the Democrat controlled Congress and Senate he had to deal with and yes we did dislike Bush's lack of fiscal conservatism. So just imagine what we think of Obama and TTTTTTTrillion dollar DEBT as far as our children can see.

Typical liberal argument. Just like school kids they argue "well he did it too".

Oniko,

Thanks, I really got a kick out of the dolphin story.

Perhaps the mosque, wherever it may be should be surrounded by a gay bar on one side, a topless bar on the other and a southern pork barbecue grill across the street.

I agree with Newt Gingrich. When Islam allows Christian Churchs and Jewish synagogues to be built in Mecca, Bagdadh, Tehran, and all their capitols, then you can talk to me about another Mosque in the USA! Until then, just shut the hell up!

"Is there any reason to oppose the mosque that isn't bigoted, or demagogic, or unconstitutional? None that I've heard or read." --Michael Kinsley, editor at large of The Atlantic

I'm not sure how "insensitivity toward murdered victims' families" is even in the ball park with "bigoted, or demagogic, or unconstitutional".

Maybe Kinsley was one of Obama's "law students" or a member of the right Rev. Wright's flock.

Yeah, True Patriot, one really should get the facts straight...

Unless you are one of those peeps that doesn't find Wiki to be factual.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_debt_by_U.S._presidential_terms.

Every Pres. has increased spending during their term(s). One needs to take a deeper look at how that relates to GDP vs. spending vs. fed income. Additionally, taking into account the state of the Union during each presidents term is a must.

We all have had the wool pulled over our eyes with the duel of R vs. D. I remain HOPEful that most of us have had it and will make true CHANGE in November. (not just the change which is all that I have left in my pocket).

Biden probably would have gotten that job if they didn't have quotas. Maybe the union would have had a more competent worker then.

I have heard Obama is a "constitutional scholar". How can that be true when it seems apparent that he has not read it, or does not understand it.

Ahhh... my True Patriot. You are a True Riot. First of all, from '87 to '89 the Dems had a 55 to 45 seat majority in the Senate and in ALL 8 years had a minimum 71 and and a maximum 103 seat majority in the House. The House I might add is also where almost all bills originate. Reagan led one of the great economic expansions the world has ever seen, while creating 35 million jobs in the process. Reagan also REDUCED the deficit from 221 Billion to about 150 Billion when he left office. How do those deficits compare with Obama's TRILLIONS of dollars of deficits far into the future? But don't let the facts dampen your drooling eagerness to bash Reagan. Heck I'm sure you even think that Jimmy Carter was a great President too.

S.Sik, I think that may be the first time 'more competent' has been associated with Joe Biden's name.

One question, Where does all the money that is collected by the Musilum mosks go?

Overseas?

Remains in the US to support terrsts cell?

Just asking..

Remember that General Black Jack Persing ended the

islamic rebellion in the Philipines before the first

World War. He rounded up 200 of the rebels, had them tied to posts and blindfolded. Then he had a

ditch dug and he slaughtered hogs and put the entails and blood and guts into the ditch. Then he

took the blindfold off one rebel. Then his men dipped their bullets into the pig blood and then fired and killed 199 of the islamic rebels, cut

them loose and buried them in the ditch and covered

them up. Then they released the last rebel to go

and tell the other rebels what he had seen. The

USA had not had another rebel islamic attack for over 80 years because of the spine of Black Jack.

Also the British sent tins of pigs fat to their

soldiers to dip their bullets in during their

fighting in the Mideast in the early 1900's. Why

don't we become politically incorrect and end this

war in a matter of days?

Carl, I had heard this story and it sure made a lot of sense to me. If this was done to the remains of suicide bombers, I imagine it would reduce their enthusiasm for carrying out such deeds. Has Pershing's actions been documented or written about that you know of?

True, Obviously another victim of public schooling, when you go from 220 to 150 that is called a reduction. Also when you go from 18% interest for the best credit (including home loans), 15% inflation, 10% unemployment, American hostages, Gas lines and then have Federal revenue DOUBLE from approx. 500 bil. to 1 trillion, Any sane person (which eliminates liberals) would call what happened an expansion. As to adding 35 million jobs, well that includes saved jobs as well.

Point of fact, Reagan vetoed 78 bills, which was the most since Eisenhower and still is.

Why is the upper military pushing for repeal of

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell?" a)they are not required to live with, serve with, fight alongside homosexuals. b)perhaps more important, removing that admonition would also remove the capability of leaving the firing line when the temperatures get to high. Homosexuality is an abomination, and to inflict it on fighting troops is also another abominationl. Personal experience is the basis for these remarks.

The 14 Amendment does not require further amendment. The intent of the amendment is clear.It does not provide citizenship to children of criminal invaders.

Why is there little, if any, conversation regarding the reality that Bush II had a Democrat majority in Congress for the two final years of his tour of duty. The 'blame game' is worn out. The accuser in chief really should be removed, along with most of those he hired. The Republicans are not much better in most instances. Why is the National Party objecting to the win in Alaska? The sitting senator is a RINO, and should be deposed. As should all the RINO types! Clean sweep down, fore and aft, all trash over the fantail! Let us pray, and vote, in November.

JUST A THOUGHT, ALLOW THE MOSQUE TO BE BUILT AND

DEDICATED ON 9/11/2011==THEN BLOW IT UP! HOW'S THAT FOR FAIRNESS?

Every time I read through these comments from others, I gleefully see an increasing number of people who are NOT in favor of the political status quo of our great country as it stands! That fills me with hope that the elections will turn it around and clean out the filth in both Senate and Congress, and then aim to impeach the illegal Muslim in the White House!

Come on, folks, how long are you going to put up with his insanity and "crotch salutes"?? Personally, I was sick of it a long time ago! VOTE THE BUMS OUT!
