Why aren’t women up in arms about Muslims in America?

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

Islam Now Exempt from Criticism:

AP Story Here:

The story mentioned above is extremely alarming.  Every man, woman, and child should be outraged by this recent vote.  This basically says that no speech that portrays Islam in a negative light will be tolerated.

On the one hand one might say “It’s just the U.N. They don’t govern us here in the USA.”  Wrong.  The United States is part of the UN council and we are very much affected by what happens there.  Besides, I predict that the United States will give up our sovereignty to UN control within the next couple of years if not later this year. If Obama thought he could get away with it, we would have already done it. And the UN doesn’t really care about our little constitutional “freedom of speech” rules. Those are going out the window.

So my question is… why aren’t our women’s groups up in arms about the spread and growth of Islam in this country?  In the Mid-Eastern nations where Islam reigns the women are horribly mistreated on an ongoing basis. They’re forced to be completely covered head to toe. They’re forbidden to drive or be out after dark without their husband. They can’t have authority over men, and their husbands can beat and kill them at will without fear of punishment. And this is just a part of the list.

The women in America are outraged when they perceive they are getting a lower salary than their male counterparts.  Where is the N.O.W.? Why aren’t they complaining about this “Honor Killing” (Article Here) by a Muslim man right here in the USA? Where is the ACLU? Why aren’t they commenting on this?  The ten commandments in a courtroom for some reason is a hideous crime, but cutting off your wife’s head “in the name of Allah” is somehow “honorable”? I don’t get it.

Women… Islam is so obviously NOT your friend. When you see the ladies dressed head to toe in the grocery store. That’s not a cute little middle eastern clothing style.  They might as well be wearing a sadwich-board sign that says… “I could be killed if I don’t follow the rules”.

For some reason America is bending over backwards to bring muslims into this country and let them promote their religon all over the place.  But beware… they are not some “neutral” religon.

Obama’s New Civilian Security Force?

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

I heard this way back before the elections and was worried about it then.  This idea of a national civilian security force is the most terrifying thing I can imagine, and also the main reason I knew Obama would win the elections in 2008 to become the next president.

Nobody else I know even brought this up prior to the election. I can’t believe it. But now it seems to be surfacing a little bit. I’m hearing some chatter on the news about it. Still, it seems that very few are coming out and talking openly about it.  Perhaps they’re waiting until the Banking and Healthcare takeovers are complete before moving on to the next thing. (That would be a joke if it weren’t so serious)

If we’re going to create some kind of national police force as big, powerful and well-funded as our combined U.S. military forces, isn’t this rather a big deal?

I thought Democrats generally believed the U.S. spent too much on the military. How is it possible their candidate is seeking to create some kind of massive but secret national police force that will be even bigger than the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force put together?

(Taken from: Joseph Farah – Between the Lines: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=69601 - July 2008) 

Listen to what Obama says, in his own words:

Seriously… this is scary stuff.  We are just one tactical nuke away from a total dictatorship. All it takes is to manufacture a “terrorist attack” and then use Government to “solve” the security problem. It has happened before (many times), I don’t know why we think it won’t happen here in the USA.

Put this together with what Joe Biden said (slipped) before the election.  He said there would be a crisis coming and we wouldn’t like how it’s handled by Obama.

Joe Biden knows more than he lets on:

God have mercy on our country!

AIG was a setup. We’re watching a play in Washington.

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

Before we all get on a bandwagon and start criticizing these AIG executives for taking their bonuses on our dime, we need to evaluate the entire situation.  It’s easy to lose perspective when we’re constantly listening to slant.

Let’s look at the facts: 

  • The American people didn’t want this bailout in the first place.  This was pushed through by the president and congress against the obvious will of the people.
  • The total bailout (and I use the word “bailout” lightly) package for AIG was supposed to be around $85 Billion. They actually received somewhere around $140 Billion from the Government. The bonuses paid out with that money totaled somewhere around $165 Million. So we’re talking less than 0.001% of the total payout went to bonuses.
  • Congress could have included a ‘no-bonuses’ clause in the bill when drafting it, but purposely chose not to.
  • Congress now owns an 85% market share of AIG stock.
  • Many if not all of these bonuses were given with the understanding the executives would only receive $1 salaries for 2009.  Not really a bonus, is it? It’s more like a paycheck advance.  And, by the way, congress knew about this arrangement before drafting the bill.
  • The threat was given by our legislators that if the bonus money wasn’t returned it would be taxed at 100%. (so congress can now tax people at will ? – interesting)

 

Here’s how it distills out.  This is what I call a “template”.  Congress right now is establishing a pattern by which it will conduct itself in the future.  The model is being instituted and they are persuading public opinion (using CNN and other news media) to back them in these decisions. They are simply setting precedence and convincing the public it’s the ‘moral’ thing to do.  After all (they say) “Why should these guys get that much money in a bonus?”. Jealousy is a powerful thing.

Honestly, do you think the congressmen and women really care if AIG employees get bonuses?  No. The people in Washington make more than that while stirring their morning coffee with their pinky finger.  

This is simply about government taking over privately owned business and then telling them how to spend their money. And I fear that this is just the beginning of this tactic.   

In the future, when Washington does this again, they’ll put in the bill a restriction on how the business can spend its money from that point on. And they’ll tell the public “we have to do this…  Remember what AIG tried to pull with their bonuses?”.   

I encourage you, don’t give into the urge to hate these executives because the bonus they just received is more than you’ll make in the next 10 years. That’s a red herring.  It’s a diversion – a smoke screen. That’s not the real issue. The hope for becoming a millionaire is what makes this country great. Don’t let jealousy cloud your thinking. 

The real point is…  why did congress give them the ‘bailout’ money in the first place? Is it really as they say, because AIG is “too big to fail”?  No, I say… let it fail. The public would have never felt the impact. That’s what makes America great – success and failure.  No, congress gave them the money because the federal government wants to OWN them. They didn’t “Bail them out”. They “Bought them out”. Now they’re trying to say “We (as in the American people) bought them out”. But really, are you ever going to see a dime of profit from this accusation? I don’t think so.

 The federal government shouldn’t own businesses. Period.  That’s socialism, and it will completely destroy our civilization. (More on that in another post). This AIG thing is simply a show,  a play, put on for the American people to establish a governmental takeover pattern that can and will be used over and over in the future.

The tragedy isn’t that the execs took bonuses. Who cares about that? The tragedy is that the government feels free to steam-roll private businesses and employees at taxpayer expense.

Get ready, we’re about to see a whole lot more of this.

“No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe, while Congress is in session.”  Mark Twain
