The War is Over!!! Well – Maybe Not

His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Barry-O I made the official announcement earlier this evening that “combat operations in Iraq” are complete. One would get the idea from this announcement that he has belatedly made good on a campaign promise. However, upon further inspection, you see yet another level of deceit from the factually challenged president. Allow me to explain.

For the past month, the Obama compliant main stream media has been tripping over itself to indoctrinate the American people that the Emperor was finally making good on his Iraq War promise. Troops were shown to be leaving their bases in Iraq and shifted to bases in Kuwait. However, many combat troops actually remain in Iraq in spite of the media gushing and tonight’s announcement from the Charlatan-in-Chief. Rather than pulling ALL the combat troops out of Iraq, the Obama Infestation simply renamed them and redefined their mission.

What was formally known as a Combat Battalion is now being referred to as “Advice and Support Battalion”. Instead of it’s mission being to seek out hostile insurgent forces and improvised explosive devices, our troops will remain on their bases and wait for something to happen that the Iraqi Defense Forces cannot handle on their own – which is just about everything that could happen.

The telling story in all of this comes from the Bangor Daily News published on August 24th…

As the nation watches troops being withdrawn from the Middle East, few perhaps are aware that another wave of soldiers is being deployed.

On Tuesday, a group of about 150 soldiers from the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, based in Fort Hood, Texas, had a two-hour layover at Bangor International Airport on their way to southern Iraq.

In reality, the troops being “withdrawn from the Middle East” are troops who were late being cycled back to the US. Additional troops are being filtered into Iraq and Kuwait to serve in these new “Advice and Support Battalions”. Nothing’s changed but the mission and the names of the units. Tankers, Cannoneers, and Infantrymen are still being deployed to Iraq or to staging areas outside of Iraq. The idea that the “War” is over is a twisting of the truth.

What is more offensive and hypocritical of Obamaramadingdong is the fact that he takes credit for the accomplishments that our troops have made. As a Senator he opposed the troop surge which is the reason why the insurgency has been suppressed to the point where Obama can feel comfortable with scamming the American people. Additionally, as a Senator, Barry voted against funding troops in the field.

To add insult to injury, the Emperor mentioned former President George W. Bush in passing during his announcement. Saying that he spoke with the former President about this announcement earlier in the day and although he and the former President had differing views on the War in the beginning, blah… blah… blah…

Obama is an opportunity seeking flim-flam man. If he were a box of cereal (aptly named BarryO’s) he’d be an exciting colorful box that promises great taste, zero calories, zero grams of sugar, zero cholesterol, but when you open the box, there’s nothing inside. But then again, what do you expect from the empty suit that brought us undefined ‘hope’ and ‘change’?

Speaking of which, I believe that I’ve finally figured out that whole ‘hope’ and ‘change’ thing.

Like it or not, he’s going to fundamentally ‘change’ American and we are all going to have to ‘hope’ that our freedoms aren’t all completely taken from us in the process.

Blind ‘hope’ in undefined ‘change’. How’s it working out for you America?

Unemployment nearly doubled.
Deficit nearly quadrupled.
National Debt approaching $14 Trillion with unfunded liabilities approaching $130 Trillion.
Record numbers of Americans on food assistance.
1-in-6 Americans on some form of federal assistance.

Somehow, I don’t think this is what the voters were expecting.

As for August 31, 2010 being the date to end combat operations, truth be told President George W. Bush negotiated this event. Even though August 31, 2010 date wasn’t mentioned specifically in the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), it has always been understood that events on the ground would determine the ultimate time-line of events. According to the agreement…

The U.S. has been involved in military operations in Iraq since March of 2003. The legal framework under which the U.S. has operated includes H.J.Res. 114 (P.L. 107-243), multiple U.N. Security Council Resolutions, as well as orders under the Coalition Provisional Authority. The U.N. Security Council extended the mandate for the multinational forces through December 31, 2008.

On November 26, 2007, U.S. President George W. Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Kamel Al-Maliki signed a Declaration of Principles for a Long-Term Relationship of Cooperation and Friendship Between the Republic of Iraq and the United States of America. Pursuant to this Declaration, the parties pledged to “begin as soon as possible, with the aim to achieve, before July 31, 2008, agreements between the two governments with respect to the political, cultural, economic, and security spheres.” Among other things, the Declaration proclaims the parties’ intention to enter an agreement that would commit the United States to provide security assurances to Iraq, arm and train Iraqi security forces, and confront Al Qaeda and other terrorist entities within Iraqi territory.

On November 17, 2008, after months of negotiations, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker and Iraq Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari signed two documents: (1) the Strategic Framework Agreement for a Relationship of Friendship and Cooperation between the United States and the Republic of Iraq, and (2) the Agreement Between the United States of America and Republic of Iraq On the Withdrawal of United States Forces from Iraq and the Organization of Their Activities during Their Temporary Presence in Iraq. The second agreement is commonly referred to as the SOFA between the United States and Iraq and is incorporated by reference into the larger strategic agreement.

Congress has several tools by which to exercise oversight regarding negotiation, form, conclusion, and implementation of agreements by the United States. The agreements with Iraq were negotiated and concluded as executive agreements and entered into force on January 1, 2009, and yet there remain many unanswered questions about the specific terms within the SOFA. This report begins by discussing the historical legal framework governing U.S. military operations in Iraq. The report then provides a general background as to the content of agreements traditionally considered Status of Forces Agreements (SOFAs). Finally, the report discusses specific aspects of the SOFA, highlighting issues that may require continued congressional oversight. [1] – emphasis mine

In reality, as long as US forces were withdrawn from the cities by June 30, 2009, and the mandated date for full withdrawal “no later than December 31, 2011[2]” hasn’t expired, anything short of full withdrawal is consistent with the US-Iraq Status of Forces Agreement which became binding 19 days prior to Obama assuming the Presidency.

To put it bluntly, Obama just rode in as the current Lib Infesting 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W. to take credit for the withdrawal as if he had to actually do something to bring it about. It’s pretty easy to be seen as making the difficult decisions when they have already been made by more responsible and prudent individuals before you ever needed to take the matter under consideration isn’t it?

In conclusion, Iraq is still a potentially dangerous place and the United States is still under an obligation to provide security and training for Iraqi Defense Forces. There is a reason why U.S. troops haven’t left the region entirely, but rather withdrawn to another friendly host country in the region from which rapid deployment is possible.

As the Obama Infestation plays games with semantics in regards to our fighting men and women in Iraq, the Emperor has egg on his face in regards to Afghanistan. In the past 3 days 21 U.S. troops have lost their lives in Afghanistan. One has to wonder, if Obama would have given Gen. Stanley McCrystal the full number of troops he asked for, could these 21 deaths have been minimized or avoided?

Education Secretary “Suggests” Employees Attend Sharpton’s Rally

August 31, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Democrat Corruption, Democrat Incompetence, Education, News, Opinion, Presidential Politics, The REAL Culture of Corruption View Comments

Education Secretary Arne Duncan sent a memo to 4,000 Department of Education Employees suggesting that they attend Rev. Al Sharpton’s rally last Saturday. Of course, Duncan was speaking at that event but somehow I doubt Duncan’s desire to have 4,000 of his employees in attendance was just simply for moral support. No. I actually suspect that they were “suggested” to attend as a way for Duncan, Sharpton, and company to further indoctrinate them.

Let me remind you dear reader that there is a law banning federal employees from attending partisan demonstrations (the Hatch Act). And although the Sharpton rally technically does not fall under the ban, the mere suggestion by Duncan that they attend could be construed as undue influence by a superior.

Department of Education employees are not political appointees and have a right to be insulated from partisan bickering in the context of their employment. Duncan’s “suggestion” that his employees attend may have crossed the line of appropriateness. If Duncan wanted to speak at this rally, he had the right. But he did not have the right to “suggest” his employees attend especially if a lowly federal employee wishes to keep his/her job and feels compelled to attend as a condition of keeping said job.

In the light of this memo, and its inappropriate “suggestion”, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan should probably re-evaluate his position with the Obama Infestation. Personally, if I were Barry O, Duncan would be shown the door. That said however, the Emperor hasn’t shown any signs of booting any member of his cabinet due to inappropriate behavior or lack of vocational aptitude. Why should he? He hasn’t any vocational aptitude.

So I guess that we on the right should just add Arne Duncan’s name to the list of Infestation Appointees that need to be put under tighter scrutiny. His foibles should be exposed at every opportunity and the goal of sending his incredibly incompetent arse back to Chicago should be pursued.

As I pointed out when Duncan was nominated by Emperor Barry-O I, Arne should never have been nominated in light of the fact that under his watch, Chicago Public Schools became one of the nation’s most failing public school districts. You don’t reward failure. That is unless you are Emperor Barry-O.

Obama, Religion, Ideology, and Deception

August 30, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Communism, Opinion, Pelosi - The Wicked Witch of the West, Presidential Distortions, socialism View Comments

The Presidency and religion is something the American voter has been wrestling with since the 1960 Presidential campaign when many questioned whether John F. Kennedy would hold a greater allegiance to the Constitution (the American people) or to the Pope. The question itself showed a complete lack of knowledge of Catholicism.

His Holiness the Pope, in this case John XXIII, had no direct influence over the political inter-workings of any nation. Popes by definition are the successors of Peter (Christ’s right hand man so to speak) and not a politician or king. Allegiance to the Bishop of Rome is limited to the theological teachings within the Church. The degree in which those teachings spill out into public policy is rather subjective depending upon the level of devotion a President has to his chosen faith. A more devout and “conservative” Catholic would subject his policy decisions to the scrutiny of his faith. For example: a devout Catholic as President today would be compelled to seek out a way to strike down Roe v. Wade and limit the cold-blooded murder of the unborn. However, if the person infesting 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W. happens to be Nancy Pelosi, there isn’t much chance of that happening.

My point is this: when considering the religious beliefs of a potential or sitting President of the United States, it is important to understand what those beliefs are. In the case of John F. Kennedy and Catholicism, there existed no conflict with public policy. Right was right and wrong was wrong. However, when you do not understand the religious beliefs held by the sitting President, there is a conflict. He/she can impose a hidden theological agenda on the nation stealthily and the American people would have no chance to defend the nation against that agenda.

With regard to Barack Obama, nearly 25% of this nation believes he hasn’t been honest in declaring his religious preference. Many will say that he has declared himself to be a Christian, but his actions do not seem to mirror that declaration. He has made speeches apologizing for “America’s arrogance” in the Muslim world. He has, on at least one occasion while in Saudi Arabia, quoted many verses of the Qu’ran calling it “the Holy Qu’ran”. In contrast, he has mocked the Holy Bible on many occasions. He has told an American reporter in an interview that he sees Jesus as a “man of history”. What?!? No Christian of any true Christian denomination would EVER refer to the Son of God as a “man of history”. Strike one against the claims of Christianity.

Obama attended Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago for 25 years. He has claimed to have been baptized in that church. What does that mean?

Trinity United Church of Christ is led by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr. Rev. Wright is a teacher of Black Liberation Theology which is a hybrid of Liberation Theology which itself has its origins in Latin America and the brain child of Catholic Priests. It has been denounced by the Vatican because it has Marxism as its core. To understand the appeal of this church’s teachings in Obama’s mind you must first understand the man and his history.

From the socialism seeking itinerant upbringing of his mother to his father’s denouncing of his Islamic faith, young Barack Hussein Obama was doomed to a life of confusion. He was abandoned by his father in favor of a graduate degree from Harvard and the goal of returning to Kenya to enter politics. He was then abandoned by his mother as she pursued her career. Young Barack was sent back to his grandparents in Hawaii and exposed to some of the most radical Marxist teachings at the hands of Frank Marshall Davis.

According to Obama, as he wrote in his book Dreams of My Father, he sought out Radicals and Marxists in college. He, like his father, attended Harvard for Graduate School to earn his law degree. I believe that I must remind you that Harvard was the transmission point for Fabian Socialism into academia.

According to Islamic (Sharia) Law, a child born of a Muslim father is Muslim and the faith of the mother is immaterial. Sharia doesn’t recognize conversion from Islam into any other faith. Barack Obama, since he has exhibited a keen knowledge of the Qu’ran, must surely understand this fact and yet he claims he is Christian.

While living in Indonesia, young Barack was registered in public school even though only the children of citizens are eligible to attend. On the registration documentation, his name is listed as Barry Soetoro, son of Lolo Soetoro – a Muslim. Incidentally, young Barry Soetoro’s religion was listed as Islam and yet he claims to be Christian.

At this point, I’m going to divert from religion to eligibility to be President of the United States. Many who claim Obama is ineligible are attempting to make the case on the ambiguity surrounding the place of his birth. Because the matter of the location of his birth seems to be impossible to prove, I say we should concentrate on making the case based on what we know to be true.

Barack Hussein Obama was registered in public school in Indonesia under the name Barry Soetoro. Obama does not deny this.
Indonesia at the time required Indonesian citizenship to attend public school.
Indonesia at the time did not recognize dual citizenship.

It is my contention that these three facts speak to Obama’s ineligibility alone. To be President of the United States you must be a natural born citizen. Even if we were to stipulate to that fact, it can be, and should be, argued that he was voluntarily expatriated by his mother and step-father when they registered him in public school in Indonesia. As such, if he never applied for citizenship upon his return to the United States he is in fact an illegal alien. If he had applied for citizenship and it was granted, he is no longer an natural born citizen but rather a naturalized citizen and ineligible to serve as President.

Back to my original topic…

If you understand that Barack Obama is the child of a socialist and a marxist, raised in various parts of the world, sought out socialists and radical thought throughout his formative years, it is reasonable to understand why he would adopt such a radical theology when seeking out a church. Trinity United Church of Christ was identified as a stepping stone for black politics in Chicago. After all, Oprah Winfrey attended that same church and an endorsement from her would carry a young politician a long way.

I submit to you, that his “Christian” faith is a sham which he has used as a political tool to get him where he is. Sure he closely identifies with many of that church’s teachings because they conform to his Marxist roots, but that does not make him Christian.

On the topic of Liberation Theology which Black Liberation Theology is based upon, one must understand the reasons why the Catholic Church rejected that teaching…

From Spe Salvi – Encyclical written by Pope Benedict XVI November 30, 2007 -

20. The nineteenth century held fast to its faith in progress as the new form of human hope, and it continued to consider reason and freedom as the guiding stars to be followed along the path of hope. Nevertheless, the increasingly rapid advance of technical development and the industrialization connected with it soon gave rise to an entirely new social situation: there emerged a class of industrial workers and the so-called “industrial proletariat”, whose dreadful living conditions Friedrich Engels described alarmingly in 1845. For his readers, the conclusion is clear: this cannot continue; a change is necessary. Yet the change would shake up and overturn the entire structure of bourgeois society. After the bourgeois revolution of 1789, the time had come for a new, proletarian revolution: progress could not simply continue in small, linear steps. A revolutionary leap was needed. Karl Marx took up the rallying call, and applied his incisive language and intellect to the task of launching this major new and, as he thought, definitive step in history towards salvation—towards what Kant had described as the “Kingdom of God”. Once the truth of the hereafter had been rejected, it would then be a question of establishing the truth of the here and now. The critique of Heaven is transformed into the critique of earth, the critique of theology into the critique of politics. Progress towards the better, towards the definitively good world, no longer comes simply from science but from politics—from a scientifically conceived politics that recognizes the structure of history and society and thus points out the road towards revolution, towards all-encompassing change. With great precision, albeit with a certain onesided bias, Marx described the situation of his time, and with great analytical skill he spelled out the paths leading to revolution—and not only theoretically: by means of the Communist Party that came into being from the Communist Manifesto of 1848, he set it in motion. His promise, owing to the acuteness of his analysis and his clear indication of the means for radical change, was and still remains an endless source of fascination. Real revolution followed, in the most radical way in Russia.

21. Together with the victory of the revolution, though, Marx’s fundamental error also became evident. He showed precisely how to overthrow the existing order, but he did not say how matters should proceed thereafter. He simply presumed that with the expropriation of the ruling class, with the fall of political power and the socialization of means of production, the new Jerusalem would be realized. Then, indeed, all contradictions would be resolved, man and the world would finally sort themselves out. Then everything would be able to proceed by itself along the right path, because everything would belong to everyone and all would desire the best for one another. Thus, having accomplished the revolution, Lenin must have realized that the writings of the master gave no indication as to how to proceed. True, Marx had spoken of the interim phase of the dictatorship of the proletariat as a necessity which in time would automatically become redundant. This “intermediate phase” we know all too well, and we also know how it then developed, not ushering in a perfect world, but leaving behind a trail of appalling destruction. Marx not only omitted to work out how this new world would be organized—which should, of course, have been unnecessary. His silence on this matter follows logically from his chosen approach. His error lay deeper. He forgot that man always remains man. He forgot man and he forgot man’s freedom. He forgot that freedom always remains also freedom for evil. He thought that once the economy had been put right, everything would automatically be put right. His real error is materialism: man, in fact, is not merely the product of economic conditions, and it is not possible to redeem him purely from the outside by creating a favourable economic environment.

Because Liberation Theology has Marxism at its roots, it is impossible for any Catholic, and by association any Christian, to adhere to such a teaching because it is inherently anti-Christian. Marx wrote that religion is “the opiate of the masses”. Teachers of Liberation Theology are less concerned with the teachings of Christ than those of Marx. This is heresy.

In conclusion, at best Obama is a shadow Muslim. At worst, and what I believe is actually the truth, Obama is a Marxist who wears Christianity as a cloak like all followers of Black Liberation Theology; using his faith as a conduit to achieve the goal of advancing socialism in this country. He has succeeded because those who cast votes for him failed to understand who he was and is.

Misery Index? You’d Be Surprised At The Numbers [UPDATED]

August 29, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Democrat Incompetence, Fiscal Irresponsibility, News, Opinion, The Economy View Comments

Austin Hill has a new post up at Townhall.com in which he discusses a term that I haven’t heard discussed in the media since the days of Jimmy Carter’s Infestation of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W. That term? The misery index.

In simple terms, the misery index is calculated by adding the unemployment number by the rate of inflation. Sounds simple enough and using the raw data you would get the impression that things aren’t much worse now than before Obama took office. But that is deceiving.

By artificially growing the economy through political trickery designed to offset true unemployment numbers and inflation rates, the Obama Infestation has to this point been able to get around admitting they are making things worse. Utilizing the raw data available, the current misery index is sitting at 10.8352. How bad is that? Well compared to Carter’s numbers that is spectacular. But compared to George W. Bush’s 8.10, it’s beginning to look dismal.

But the numbers as I have said have been distorted by the Infestation and their desired to remain blameless for the economy. The 10.8352 number is derived from the current unemployment rate (9.6%) added to the current rate of inflation (latest numbers are from July – 1.2352%). However, what isn’t taken into account are the underemployed and those who have given up looking for work. If you were to factor those numbers Obama is looking nearly as bad as Carter.

The underemployment number according to Gallup (a Democrat friendly polling agency) is 18.3%. Added to the latest inflation numbers (July 1.2352%) and we get a misery index number of 19.5352.

Compared to Jimmy Carter’s high of 20.76 in 1980, Obama is looking pretty bad. What do you think?

*NOTE: The actual use of the misery index was to calculate an economic average over the previous 12 month period. The numbers stated in this post are for one single month – July 2010 – utilizing the most accurate data about that month.

[UPDATE 0207] Poking around the net for more accurate information regarding the data needed to calculate an accurate misery index metric, I came across an article related to a new misery index developed by Moody’s. In the Moody’s misery calculations, instead of calclating the unemployment rate added to the rate of inflation, fiscal deficit numbers are combined with unemployment giving a more accurate dynamic to the equation in my opinion.

Currently, the federal deficit as a percentage of GDP is 10.64% – an astronomical sum by-the-way and yet, the possibility of it rising before September 30th is great – and as stated above, the estimated unemployment rate is 9.6%. Add them together and you get 20.24. If you were to consider the underemployment numbers, we are in real trouble America. How about a misery index of 28.94 America?

Keep in mind, it is Moody’s who determines credit ratings for countries. No wonder our AAA rating is in danger.

Justice for Maria

August 23, 2010 Announcements. Comments Off

Former Marine Corporal Cesar Laurean has been found guilty of Murder in the First Degree in the death of Marine Lance Corporal Maria Lauterbach and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. This has been a long time in coming for the Lautherbach family in Vandalia, OH (a suburb of Dayton, OH).

D-Bag Laurean Guilty!

The POS Laurean killed Lauderbach, buried her under a fire pit in his back yard then fled the country like a cockroach. Extradition was only granted by the Mexican government if the US agreed to not seek the death penalty even though this turd so richly deserves it.

Now perhaps young Maria can finally rest in peace and the Lauderbach family can have closure. The Lauderbach’s are in the thoughts and prayers of all of our family.

What Are They Up To? Nuclear Iran & The GZM – Could There Be Ties?

August 21, 2010 Opinion, War on Terrorism, World Events Comments Off

This is a post of pure speculation and all I’m asking is – IS IT POSSIBLE?

Today nuclear fuel has begun to arrive at a nuclear plant in Iran and engineers are beginning to fuel a reactor.

We know from being a nuclear nation for over 60 years that spent reactor fuel can be used to produce weapons grade Plutonium. As-a-matter-of-fact, the United States is the only nation in the world which uses spent reactor fuel to impregnate conventional weapons such as tank rounds. This gives the ammunition a greater ability to penetrate the armor plating of other tanks. So why is it beyond the comprehension of those hedging on the idea that a nuclear Iran is a dangerous Iran? It isn’t.

The Russians are attempting to give assurances that they will monitor the nuclear fuel and remove the spent fuel from the country. But what assurances does the world have against Iran deciding to expel Russian influences from their country once they have the ability to enrich uranium themselves? None.

In recent days it has come to light that a dedicated airline flight from Iran to Venezuela exists. But this is not a passenger flight as tickets on this flight do not exist. Speculation is that Iran is using this flight to transport Iranian agents to South America with designs on infiltrating the United States through our southern border. What is to say that nuclear materials cannot be transported through this same clandestine flight to Venezuela then across our southern border? Nothing.

The proposal to build the “Cordoba House” Mosque and “cultural center” in the heart of the financial sector should be a cause of worry. After-all, what was the goal of the Islamofascists in their efforts to attack the World Trade Center twice? Disrupt the US and world financial sector. What better way then if they can get an atomic bomb in the center of the financial sector.

Over the past week or so, I’ve been concentrating on the idea that the planned mosque is an effort to claim Ground Zero (and Lower Manhattan for that matter) in the name of Islam as Muslims have done throughout history. This I speculate is why they decided to name the mosque “Cordoba House”. Why else would the planned dedication of the construction site be on September 11, 2011?

But what if the real plan for the mosque is to make the building itself a safe haven to house an atomic device? This is a question that should be keeping you up nights. But before you discount it, look as some evidence.

The planners won’t deny that money from terrorist organizations and rogue states are finding its way into this project.
The area in which they wish to build this mosque is a business district with little to no residential areas.
The largest Muslim community is in Brooklyn not Manhattan.
There is an existing mosque approximately 20 blocks away from the planned site.
The planned site is in the heart of the financial district just blocks away from Wall Street.
The goal of the 9/11 terrorists and the 1993 WTC bombers was to disrupt the global financial markets.

What purpose does building this mosque serve? None. Unless it is either to insult the American people (which it is already doing), claim the area in the name of Islam as conquered territory, as ground zero of a larger attack on our financial sector, or all three.

The possibility of it being all three is too strong to deny. A possibility is a potential threat and all potential threats should be eliminated before they become actual threats.

We can no longer be a nation which reacts to incidents. We must be a pro-active nation which identifies potential threats and eliminates them before they become actual threats. The mentality of reacting to incidents is what got us into trouble in 2001. And it lead to the deaths of 3,000 people.

How many would we lose if even a small device, able to be smuggled into the country through our unsecured southern border, were to be detonated in Lower Manhattan? One would be too many much less the thousands that could be killed if a blast were to take place during the week just prior to the opening bell, during the trading day, or just after the closing bell.

The biggest threat of a nuclear Iran is the fact that they would not hesitate to use a nuclear device. The radical Islamofascits running that nation welcome the idea of mutually assured destruction (M.A.D.) so the threat of self inhalation is not a concern for them. They see it as their duty to bring about the end of days and we – the United States of America – are the means by which they mean to achieve that end. The Cordoba House Mosque may be the Trojan Horse the Iranians need to bring this all together.

In writing this post I’m only asking you – the reader – to ask the question, “IS IT POSSIBLE?”

Oh, and one more thing. That secret Iranian flight that makes a monthly trip to Venezuela is said to have already transported Iranian “shock troops” to the western hemisphere. Where they are is anyone’s guess. Perhaps they are already here in the land of milk and honey. Troubling thought, isn’t it?

GZM (Cordoba House) Faces New Obsticle; AP Loses Spine and Chooses Newspeak

Those behind the Ground Zero Mosque are being deceptive when they say that its purpose is to build understanding. The truth is they wish to project an aura of dominance over the Infidel Society that they refer to as “The Great Satan” – The United States.

The Ground Zero Mosque project, affectionately called “Cordoba House” by Jihadis in honor of the conquering of Cordoba Spain in the name of Allah. In 711 A.D., Cordoba Spain was conquered by an Islamic army and became the provincial capital of the Caliphate of Damascus. The Arabic name for Cordoba was قرطبة (Qurṭuba). In 716, Cordoba was elected to become the capital of an independent Emirate known as al-Andalus. Not long after, it became it’s own Caliphate.

I submit to you that any talk of “building understanding” is nice talk to worm their way into our society in order to lay a “framework” to conquer us from within. Jihadis no longer attack with armies. They stealthily infiltrate their opponents and conquer from within like cancer does to the human body. If we allow this mosque to be built in the name of our Constitution and in the name of religious freedom, they will use this mistaken tolerance against us and soon, there will be no religious freedom left. You will submit to Islam or you will die. That is the ONLY reason for calling this Jihadi Citadel “Cordoba House” and building it in the heart of our financial center. Allowing it to be built will complete the work of the 9/11 terrorists.

The planners are running into an obstacle they hadn’t counted on – workers.

According to a report in the New York Daily News…

A growing number of New York construction workers are vowing not to work on the mosque planned near Ground Zero.

The grass-roots movement is gaining momentum on the Internet. One construction worker created the “Hard Hat Pledge” on his blog and asked others to vow not to work on the project if it stays on Park Place.

It would be difficult to have a mosque that builders refuse to build.

However, the planners are getting aid from the Progressive State Controlled Media (to use a Rushism).

The Associated Press is encouraging news reporters, especially those who contribute to the AP, to refrain from using the term ‘Ground Zero Mosque’.

AP Standards Center issues staff advisory on covering New York City mosque

Associated Press Deputy Managing Editor for Standards and Production Tom Kent sent the following note to the staff about covering the New York City mosque story and then discussed the guidance and reaction in a Facebook entry headlined “Behind the News: Describing the proposed NYC mosque.”

Aug. 19, 2010

Colleagues,

Here is some guidance on covering the NYC mosque story, with assists from Chad Roedemeier in the NYC bureau and Terry Hunt in Washington:

1. We should continue to avoid the phrase “ground zero mosque” or “mosque at ground zero” on all platforms. (We’ve very rarely used this wording, except in slugs, though we sometimes see other news sources using the term.) The site of the proposed Islamic center and mosque is not at ground zero, but two blocks away in a busy commercial area. We should continue to say it’s “near” ground zero, or two blocks away.

WE WILL CHANGE OUR SLUG ON THIS STORY LATER TODAY from “BC-Ground Zero Mosque” to “BC-NYC Mosque.”

In short headlines, some ways to refer to the project include:

_ mosque 2 blocks from WTC site
_ Muslim (or Islamic) center near WTC site
_ mosque near ground zero
_ mosque near WTC site

We can refer to the project as a mosque, or as a proposed Islamic center that includes a mosque.

It may be useful in some stories to note that Muslim prayer services have been held since 2009 in the building that the new project will replace. The proposal is to create a new, larger Islamic community center that would include a mosque, a swimming pool, gym, auditorium and other facilities.

2. Here is a succinct summary of President Obama’s position:

Obama has said he believes Muslims have the right to build an Islamic center in New York as a matter of religious freedom, though he’s also said he won’t take a position on whether they should actually build it.

For additional background, you’ll find below a Fact Check on the project that moved yesterday.

As you can see, the Associated Press is taking its marching orders directly from the Emperor. So much for freedom of the press.

You know, I think I’ve read about a society which changes their modes of speech and their memories of history based solely on political necessity. What was that… ? I can’t remember what… Oh yeah! It was George Orwell’s ’1984′!

To all of you who said that I’m barking up the wrong tree or I’m some sort of tin-foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist for comparing Obama to Orwell’s antagonist Big Brother perhaps you need to wake up and hear the suicide bombers. They are telling us in plain terms what they are doing! You need to pay attention!

Obama wants to advance the Progressive agenda and the Progressive agenda is total control. However, what they do not realize is that by allowing Jihadis to build mosques of this type on US soil will short-circuit that agenda. For my part, I reject both as an option. They are both entirely anti-American and they are perverting our Constitution in order to wage war against it.

Those entering our armed forces take an oath as does the President of the United States and all other members of our government. And although they each have wording that differs slightly from the others, the basic concept and basic pledge is exactly the same…

I [state your name], do solemnly swear (or affirm), that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States, against all enemies, foreign or domestic, and that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same…

Nothing that this Infestation is doing is supporting, defending or bearing true faith and allegiance to the US Constitution. In fact, it is attempting to tear it up with every new bill signed into law and every new regulation put into place through executive order or bureaucratic edict. The Obama Infestation and, dare I say the entire Democrat Leadership apparatus, is focused on a “fundamental transformation of the United States”. We should all fear what that “transformation” entails because I fear it won’t be anything resembling freedom.

It’s no wonder 18-24% of the American people believe Obama is a Muslim. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck…

Obama’s MSM Shill, Questioning His Muslim Heritage, and Journalistic Malpractice

Amid the fresh controversy created by the recent release of the results of two polls showing an increasing number of Americans believe Barack Hussein Obama is Muslim, a headline on The Drudge Report caught my eye. It involves some items printed in that bastion of legitimate news, The New York Times (all the news that is fit to wrap fish in; or line bird cages for that matter).

On May 12, 2008, the NYT asked the question – President Apostate? The Times actually had the audacity to ask the questions that needed to be asked, however, they failed to deliver an answer.

From the NYT:

One danger of such charisma, however, is that it can evoke unrealistic hopes of what a candidate could actually accomplish in office regardless of his own personal abilities. Case in point is the oft-made claim that an Obama presidency would be welcomed by the Muslim world.

This idea often goes hand in hand with the altogether more plausible argument that Mr. Obama’s election would raise America’s esteem in Africa — indeed, he already arouses much enthusiasm in his father’s native Kenya and to a degree elsewhere on the continent.

But it is a mistake to conflate his African identity with his Muslim heritage. Senator Obama is half African by birth and Africans can understandably identify with him. In Islam, however, there is no such thing as a half-Muslim. Like all monotheistic religions, Islam is an exclusive faith.

As the son of the Muslim father, Senator Obama was born a Muslim under Muslim law as it is universally understood. It makes no difference that, as Senator Obama has written, his father said he renounced his religion. Likewise, under Muslim law based on the Koran his mother’s Christian background is irrelevant. – emphasis mine

The Times never went beyond this statement of reality. Instead they chose to point to his “chosen Christian faith”.

Since asking the question back in May 2008, the NYT and other “legitimate” news sources have conveniently avoided revisiting the question of Obama’s faith. However, in the dust-up created by the proposed Ground Zero Mosque (the so-called Cordoba House), questions of Obama’s faith has once again entered the American discussion.

A Pew Research poll revealed that 1-in-5 Americans believe Barack Hussein Obama to be a submissive of Muhammad’s delusional visions and rantings. A Time poll on the same subject revealed that 1-in-4 believe Obama is a Muslim. Given that Obama has hosted a Ramadan celebration at the White House, snubbed the Boy Scouts of America by not attending their prayer breakfast, and making statements supporting the planned Cordoba House, the American people are beginning to look more closely at the man with the middle name Hussein. But where is the press?

[cue crickets]

While we again wait for the main stream media to catch-up to the American people and ask the tough questions they should have asked prior to November 4, 2008, perhaps we should move on as if they will choose to continue to ignore their responsibilities in favor of being Mr. Obama’s dissemination of propaganda conduit. Although I think that is beginning to wear on the media as well. After-all, who can glean any information out of Robert Gibbs? The man stutters more than Mel Tillis.

As for the Emperor… What I can’t understand is the love affair that American academics have with the moron. I mean, who takes a teleprompter on vacation? Obama, that’s who. For someone who was to be a great departure from the poor rhetorical skills of George W. Bush he seems to be extremely dependent upon prepared remarks. Bush was best when he diverted from the prepared statements. Obama on the other hand can’t function without his teleprompter. Off-the-cuff Obama is a stammering idiot. No wonder he keeps Gibbs. Birds of a feather etc…

And what is with that smug Leninist posing? It’s like he has a need to show that he is superior to everyone else staring off into the distance in an attempt to show he’s a visionary. It’s called arrogance – a disease of the elite.

The American press has failed the American people. To get honest reporting about the Obama Infestation one has to read news sources in the UK. This fact alone should be proof positive of the journalistic malpractice being committed by the American dead trees and alphabets. Save FoxNews, America’s journalistic community is devoid of any integrity as they actively shill for the Progressive Utopian Emperor. And they aren’t even attempting to hide it anymore.

The White House addressed the latest questioning of Obama’s faith by having a Communications underling tell the White House Press Pool that Obama is Christian and he prays everyday. The fact that he prays everyday isn’t the concern of the people. What the people want to know is if he finds the need to orient his body towards Mecca when he does. “He prays everyday” what kind of fools do they think the people are? Muslims pray everyday as well – 5 times!

I don’t give a rat’s ass if he’s a Muslim unless he wants to be President. If he’s the President of the United States, in a time of war, against an enemy that is waging a war in the name of their religion, and that religion is the same one that the President is accused of being a member of, there are questions that need to be answered.

In 1960, many Protestant Americans worried that John F. Kennedy’s Catholic faith would be an impediment to his ability to govern. After-all, who would he be loyal to, the US Constitution which translates into the American people or the Pope. The same should be asked of Obama. Who is he loyal to? The Constitution – which he has a track record of downplaying as a contract of negative liberties – or is he a submissive to Islam? I fear the truth may be that he is a submissive follower of Islam. Especially when he refers to Muhammad’s horror novel as “the holy Qu’ran” and greets Muslims in perfect Arabic.

In 1960, the American press asked the questions and answers were given. John Kennedy WAS elected President and by all accounts his faith never played a direct roll in his governance. However in 2010, nearly 2 years into the Obama Infestation and the American people are still asking the same questions of Barack Hussein Obama. And like all the other questioning of Obama’s past, it gets avoided. Why is it so important for him to shield the American people from his past? Perhaps it is because he’s on a mission that he’s already explained to the American people at $20 a copy. His book “Dreams from My Father” outlines what his father dreamed of for Kenya. Perhaps Junior is following in his absent daddy’s footsteps and wishes to carry on his pappy’s dream in the United States. It’s called Communism.

At a time when the socialist societies of the world are beginning to downsize their governments, Barry O is expanding ours. Why? It fulfills the strategy of instituting socialism outlined by Columbia Professors Richard Cloward and Francis Fox Piven. The Cloward-Piven Strategy to Implement Socialist Revolution was written in 1966 at the height of civil unrest in the United States. Progressives and Socialists believed they could force revolution. The strategy was then and is now to overwhelm the system and cause it to collapse. It’s on its way thanks to Obama’s Keynesian economic policies.

But where is the press?

[more crickets]

I won’t hold my breath.
