Islamic Conference in Chicago

A group calling itself Hizb ut-Tahrir held a conference at a hotel in Chicago this past Sunday. The name of the conference was, "The Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam". Why not, "The Fall of Fascism and the Rise of Islam"? Why not, "The Fall of Socialism and the Rise of Islam"?

Attacking capitalism is en vogue these days and Islamists seem to be riding the wave on the same boogie board as the socialists.

Fox News reported:

"Free market, organization, capitalization — all has failed and brought disaster to America," said one of the group's speakers.

Ask yourself how many people who voted for the current administration agree with that statement? Doesn't Bill Ayers and his ilk subscribe to such a notion?

Here's the entire Fox Story.

How about the DHS report? It would seem to me that DHS would be better served by shifting gears and doing a report on Islamic Extremism instead of Right Wing Extremism. If ever there was a group that deserves an entire DHS report dedicated to it, wouldn't Hizb ut-Tahrir qualify? Fox reports that it is

a global Sunni network with reported ties to confessed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Al Qaeda in Iraq's onetime leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi

The State Department doesn't even have them listed as a terrorist organization.

Should we really be all that surprised? In order to win a war, isn't it first necessary to identify an enemy? The west has been fighting a tactic and ghosts. Those are not tangible enemies.

Failed wars:
War on Poverty
War on Drugs
War on Terrorism

After 9/11, George Bush gave all Muslims a pass by throwing a "peaceful" blanket over the entire religion instead of saying Islam is a religion that is home to militant Jihadists.

George Bush uttered the phrase, "Islamo-fascism" ONCE and backed down out of political correctness.

At the heart of American leadership not facing the enemy of militant Islam can only be one of two things.

Cowardice or Complicity

Exlaining Obama's Rush to Pass ObamaCare

Barack Obama is rivaling the maturity of an adolescent when it comes to his insistence that his health care plan pass before the August recess. The question is, why? Some have speculated that he's concerned legislators will see how angry their constituents really are when they go back to their districts.

But what if it's more than that? What if it's another version of the check-cashing game? The AP is reporting that the Mid-Summer budget update, usually presented in mid-July is being put off until the middle of August. Why, that would be DURING the August recess, would it not? That would be another factor over and above constituent anger that could significantly influence the votes of legislators.

Quoting from the AP:

The release of the update — usually scheduled for mid-July — has been put off until the middle of next month, giving rise to speculation the White House is delaying the bad news at least until Congress leaves town Aug. 7 on its summer recess.

The response in opposition to the notion that Obama is trying to stave off bad news until his plan passes seems legitimate at first glance.....

White House budget office spokesman Tom Gavin disagreed, noting the delay was "really not something out of the norm" and is typical for a president's first year. Gavin noted that President George W. Bush's budget office did not release the mid-session review in his first year until August 22; in President Bill Clinton's first year, it did not come out until Sept. 1.

.....but on second glance, that stance raises even more questions. Among them is why is it ok to delay the mid-summer budget report but not ok to delay passage of the monstrosity of a Bill? Isn't that like buying a big luxury item before you assess your ability to pay for it? Isn't it like writing a check without balancing your check book?

Citing the CBO testimony, House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, on Monday accused Democrats of "burying this budget update until after Congress leaves town next month." He called the budget-update postponment "an attempt to hide a record-breaking deficit as Democratic leaders break arms to rush through a government takeover of health care."

There is simply no reason why the release of the budget can be delayed while this bill can't be.

Brian Williams: The Most Shameless Man in America

Folks, saying I cannot get excited about honoring Walter Cronkite would be an understatement. In fact, I'd be willing to give Michael Jackson more of my time. Walter Cronkite undermined our military and our war effort in Vietnam. There's no telling how many American soldiers died as a direct result of Cronkite's deceptive and manipulative reporting.

Now we have Brian Williams who is neck and neck with Chris Matthews for the "Most Shameless Man In America" Award. Williams appeared on Larry King and had this shameless message about his reverence for Cronkite:

I announced my intention to my family, apparently, at the age of 8, that he was the man I wanted to be. And this was the profession I wanted. And I have lived such a charmed life that I got the chance to explain that to Walter and tell him that and make it clear. And just was able to breathe the air he exhaled and know him a little bit, as friends.

Hey Brian, you breathed the air Cronkite exhaled? UGH. So how close did you really get to Walter? Was it closer than this?


Considering that Cronkite was a globalist, I was struck by how many times Williams referenced the words, "universe", "world", "air", "globe", and "space".

I did discover the globe behind him was just kind of a lime green and a wood model of the -- of the earth, and he sat at a mundane white Formica wrap-around desk. But to me, as a little kid, as a viewer who watched him narrate the cold war, the space program, the Vietnam War, it was the center of the universe from small-town America.

I personally find this glorification of another man to be more than just a little disturbing.

Williams simply couldn't help himself:

Again, just to have known him, to occupy this same space just means the world.

SNAP OUT OF IT, MAN! You're like a teenager ogling over Hannah Montana, who is actually more deserving.

Speaking of "earth" and worldly things, perhaps Williams should take the time to look at this despicable award being presented to Cronkite in 1999 along with his despicable acceptance speech.

Not only did Walter Cronkite attempt to deceive the American people during the Vietnam War but he was also a globalist. Check out this video (you will need to use external force to keep your jaw shut, especially when you see what Mr. Cronkite had to say about Satan). Watch all the way to the end and guess who honors him via satellite (you may or may not be shocked but it speaks volumes either way).
