Pedopilia in Islam
Quran 52:24 Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young male servants (handsome) as Pearls well-guarded.
Also in Surah 76:19 Allah promises fresh youths to Muslim men.
And round about them shall go youths never altering in age; when you see them you will think them to be scattered pearls. The Mullahs ARE the law, justice and the government. So they can do their shameful acts in public and who is going to stop them? This may be surprising to some, but the truth about Islam will never be seen on the news.

British Teacher To Be Beat Like a Dog By Muslims
British teacher faces lashes in Sudan after class teddy bear is named 'Muhammad' From Times OnlineNovember 26, 2007 A British primary school teacher arrested in Sudan faces up to 40 lashes for blasphemy after letting her class of 7-year-olds name a teddy bear Muhammad. Gillian Gibbons, a 54-year-old mother of two from Liverpool, was arrested at her lodgings at Khartoum's Unity High School yesterday, accused of insulting the Prophet of Islam. Her colleagues said that they feared for her safety after reports that groups of young men had gathered outside the Khartoum police station where she was taken and were shouting death threats. The Unity school is a Christian-run co-educational private school that teaches both Christians and Muslims and is popular with Sudanese professionals and expatriate workers. Another source at the school blamed another teacher, from a well-connected Khartoum family, who had raised the issue with the headmistress but was rebuffed and decided to complain. Teachers at the school, in central Khartoum only a mile from the River Nile, said that Ms Gibbons had made an innocent mistake by letting her pupils choose their favourite name for the toy as part of a school project. Robert Boulos, the Unity director, said that Mrs Gibbons was following a British National Curriculum course designed to teach young pupils about animals and their habitats. This year’s animal was the bear. In September, she asked a girl to bring in her teddy bear to help the Year 2 class to focus and then asked the class to name the toy. "They came up with eight names including Abdullah, Hassan and Muhammad. Then she explained what it meant to vote and asked them to choose the name," Mr Boulos said. Twenty out of the 23 children chose Muhammad. Each child was allowed to take the bear home at weekends and asked to write a diary about what they did with the toy. Each entry was collected in a book with a picture of the bear on the cover, next to the message "My name is Muhammad". Mr Boulos said that the bear itself was not marked or labelled with the name in any way, he added, saying Sudanese police had now seized the book and had asked to interview the 7-year-old girl. He said that he had decided to close down the school until January for fear of reprisals in Sudan’s predominantly Muslim capital. "This is a very sensitive issue. We are very worried about her safety," he said. "This was a completely innocent mistake. Miss Gibbons would have never wanted to insult Islam." A spokesman for the British Embassy in Khartoum said: "We are in contact with the authorities here and they have visited the teacher and she is in a good condition." According to the Sudanese Media Centre, which is closely associated with the government, the attorney-general's office had opened proceedings against Ms Gibbons "under article 125 of the criminal law (insult of faith and religions)". It quoted Mutusim Abdallah, who heads the attorney's office, as saying that she printed the name of the Prophet on the bear. "Then she wrote letters to student guardians telling them that they should receive a doll on which the name Muhammad is printed," he said. "However this event was met with wide condemnation by guardians of the students." Under Sudan's Sharia law, the punishment for blasphemy is 40 lashes, although the teacher could also be fined or jailed for up to six months. A spokeswoman for the Gibbons family said that the teacher's two children, who are both in their twenties, did not want to comment and "aggravate the situation over there". Colleagues at the teacher’s former school, Dovecot Primary in Liverpool, also refused to comment, as did Ms Gibbons’s estranged husband Peter, who is also a teacher.

The Bushes and Clintons have been a Globalist Team For Years
Bush Rescues Hillary
Friday, November 23, 2007 8:29 PMBy: Dick Morris & Eileen McGann
Just when every poll has Hillary Rodham Clinton slipping, she has gotten a shot in the arm from a very unlikely source: President Bush.
In an interview on Tuesday featuring the first couple and Charles Gibson, the president said of Hillary: "No question, there is no question that Clinton understands pressure better than any of the candidates, you know, in the race because she lived in the White House and sees it first — could see it first-hand."
By saying that she “understands the klieg lights,” Bush lent credence to Hillary’s campaign assertion that she could “hit the ground running” if she were elected president.
Would somebody please explain to us what Bush is doing, touting Hillary just as the rest of America is finally catching on to her artificial, evasive and contrived campaigning style?
This is not the first time Bush has rescued the Clintons. After they left the White House, both the former president and the new senator had low ratings in the polls. Beset by scandal — the White House gifts, the pardons-for-sale, the payments to Hillary’s brothers for pardons, the Hasidic vote-for-pardon scandal, and Bill’s nolo contender plea to obstructing justice — Bill and Hillary were sucking wind.
But, Bush swept in for the rescue, picking the former president off the ash heap of history and elevating him to parity with his father in a two-former-president effort to raise funds for the tsunami victims. By giving him a respected place alongside a former president of unquestioned integrity, Bush gave Clinton a tremendous way to climb out of disgrace and into the limelight.
Then, when the tsunami relief effort was winding down, he re-enlisted former President Clinton to work with his father again on helping the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Not only did Bush help the Clintons in positive ways, but he let his justice department drop the investigations of the pardons, the gifts, the payments to Hillary’s brothers and the Hasidic vote scandal with no prosecution or plea dealings.
Then Bush let Clinton off the hook another time when the former president’s former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger was caught smuggling classified documents relating to 9/11 and the war on terror out of the National Archives in his pockets and socks. The Bush Justice Department accepted a plea deal with Berger which did not require him to say what documents he had taken and why he had swiped them. As a result, we never knew what aspect of the Clinton record on terrorism Berger was so anxious to cover up.
All of this kid glove treatment of the former first couple led to jokes about how George W. and Bill are the two children of President George H.W. Bush. Now the president is going easy on his putative sister-in-law, Hillary.
The fact is that Hillary has no idea what it is like to be president. Unlike Bill, she did not have to face the media daily and could keep them at arms
length as she toured the world, acting like a tourist, in carefully contrived photo opportunities. When she was really involved in public policy — during the health reform debate — her insistence on the secrecy of the proceedings led to a federal court order and judgment against her.
Is President Bush deliberately helping Hillary to win the nomination because he feels she would be the easiest one of the Democrats to beat? If he is, he’s making a serious mistake. She is the only Democrat who can bring 10 million new single female voters out of the woodwork to sway the election.
Or, is it an ex-president thing? A kind of exclusive club of former chiefs who treat one another with kindness, civility and bend over backwards to show respect? Whether it is through political miscalculation or elitism that Bush caters to Hillary Clinton, he should stop it. Every day, she bashes him full time on the campaign trail. His kind words for her are so out of place, they are jarring.
President George W. Bush has done quite enough to aid the election of Hillary Clinton as the next president of the United States already, thank you. Without his generosity to Bill and his refusal to prosecute matters that could embarrass the Clintons, he bears a great deal of responsibility already for Hillary’s rise to front-runner status in the Democratic primary.

The First Socialist Disaster in America
The Pilgrims, a study in Socialism vs. Capitalism.SFSupervisor.com ^
Posted on 11/01/2006 11:54:46 PM PST by Exton1
When the Pilgrims came to America aboard the Mayflower to establish the Plymouth Colony, they did so under the requirement that "all profits and benefits that are got by trade, working, fishing, or any other means" were to be placed into the "common stock" of the colony and that "all such persons as are of this colony are to have their provisions out of the common stock." Sort of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need"— Socialism.
But something happened at Plymouth in 1623 because "instead of famine now God gave them plenty," Bradford wrote that and in 1624 so much was harvested that they were able to export corn.
William Bradford was a "man of God" and because of that he was a student of the word of God, and there he found wisdom. First he abolished socialism and converted to a free market society. He did as the Jews did when the entered into the promised land—he divided the land—gave each household a parcel of land and told them they could keep all that they produced, or trade it away as they saw fit. Famine ended.
DeportNow....
This first socialist requirement in America was a total failure ...just as every other socialist requirement since then has failed. William Bradford found that when everyone received the same amount of food and supplies whether they worked or not, they had no incentive to work hard, and many became lazy, as the few did all the hard labor.
When Bradford divided the land into parcels...and every one knew they either worked or starved...they then had a very good incentive to work. And the Plymouth colony began to prosper.
The Free Market worked like a dream, trading post were set up and the Indians were great trading customers.........The Free Market has propelled America to great prosperity, and continues to be the best system on earth.
May Socialism burn in the bowels of hell!

Kwanzaa....The Phony Holiday and It's Deranged Creator
The Story of Kwaanza
By J. Lawrence Scholer Monday, January 15, 2001
On December 26, 1966 Ron Karenga and his family and friends lit the Unity candle, the Umoja candle, and commenced the first Kwanzaa.
Kwanzaa has only gained popularity since. On December 24, 1971 the New York Times ran their first article covering the festival, and recently the Postal Service released a Kwanzaa stamp. Hallmark, too, has begun to market the holiday.
Seven principles—one for each day of the feast—guide the celebration: Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba, and Imani. In English, the principles are unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. Today, the holiday does not serve as a replacement for religious holidays, although it may, but rather is a secular event aimed at encouraging American blacks to remember their African roots.
The founder of Kwanzaa, Ron Everett, a.k.a. Maulana Ron Karenga, stood at the forefront of the black power movement in the 1960s. Karenga distinguished himself as a 'cultural nationalist' as opposed to a traditional Marxist. In 1965 Karenga founded the United Slaves Organization (US), a group that would rival the Black Panthers on the UCLA campus. The US was more radical than the Panthers, setting off quarrels between the two.
The biggest dispute between the US and the Panthers centered around the leadership of the new Afro-American Studies department at UCLA; both groups backed a different candidate. On January 17, 1969, 150 students gathered to discuss the situation. Panthers John Jerome Huggins and Alprentice Carter used the meeting to verbally attack Karenga, much to the dismay of his followers. Two US members, George and Larry Stiner, confronted Huggins and Carter in a hallway after the meeting and shot and killed them.
A May 11, 1969 letter in The Black Panther officially denounced Karenga. Wilbur Grattan, the Minister of State and Foreign Affairs of the 'Republic of New Africa,' wrote to Bobby Seale: 'Speaking in the position of Minister of State and Foreign Affairs for RNA, I have always felt that Ron Karenga represented a great deal less than the best interests of the Black Liberation struggle against domestic colonialism, white racism, and world-wide imperialism.'
This, however, did not faze Karenga, who continued to build and strengthen the US. Members of the US followed the 'Path of Blackness' detailed in The Quotable Karenga, authored by Karenga himself. 'The sevenfold path of blackness is think black, talk black, act black, create black, buy black, vote black, and live black,' the book states.
The US would not last too much longer. On September 17, 1971, Karenga was sentenced to one to ten years in prison on counts of felonious assault and false imprisonment. The charges stemmed from a May 9, 1970 incident in which Karenga and two others tortured two women who Karenga believed had tried to kill him by placing 'crystals' in his food and water.
A year later the Los Angeles Times described the events: 'Deborah Jones, who once was given the title of an African queen, said she and Gail Davis were whipped with an electrical cord and beaten with a karate baton after being ordered to remove their clothes. She testified that a hot soldering iron was placed in Miss Davis' mouth and placed against Miss Davis' face and that one of her own big toes was tightened in a vice. Karenga, head of US, also put detergent and running hoses in their mouths, she said.'
The shooting at UCLA caused Karenga to become deeply paranoid and spurred his bizarre behavior. At his trial, the question of Karenga's sanity arose. The psychiatrist's report stated, 'This man now represents a picture which can be considered both paranoid and schizophrenic with hallucinations and elusions, inappropriate affect, disorganization, and impaired contact with the environment.' The psychiatrist observed that Karenga talked to his blanket and imaginary persons and believed that he had been attacked by dive-bombers.
Eight years later California State University at Long Beach made Karenga the head of its Black Studies Department. Karenga had toned down his rhetoric and abandoned his cultural nationalism for straightforward Marxism. As an academic Karenga has authored various books on such topics as Egyptian art and has guest lectured at Stanford.
Initially, Kwanzaa proceeded from Karenga's hostility toward Western religion, which, he wrote in his 1980 book, Kawaida Theory, 'denies and diminishes human worth, capacity, potential and achievement. In Christian and Jewish mythology, humans are born in sin, cursed with mythical ancestors who've sinned and brought the wrath of an angry God on every generation's head.' He similarly opposed belief in God and other 'spooks who threaten us if we don't worship them and demand we turn over our destiny and daily lives.'
Thus, Karenga explained in his 1977 Kwanzaa: Origin, Concepts, Practice, 'Kwanzaa is not an imitation, but an alternative, in fact, an oppositional alternative to the spookism, mysticism and non-earth based practices which plague us as a people and encourage our withdrawal from social life rather than our bold confrontation with it.' The holiday 'was chosen to give a Black alternative to the existing holiday and give Blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves and history rather than simply imitate the practice of the dominant society.'
Since then, the holiday has gained mainstream adherents, and Karenga has altered its justification so as not to alienate practicing Christians: 'Kwanzaa was not created to give people an alternative to their own religion or religious holiday,' he writes in Kwanzaa: A Celebration of Family, Community, and Culture, published in 1997.
Still, some charge that the holiday and its official black, green, and red flag promotes racial separatism and violence. Says the official Kwanzaa Information Center: 'red, or the blood, stands as the top of all things. We lost our land through blood; and we cannot gain it except through blood. We must redeem our lives through the blood. Without the shedding of blood there can be no redemption of this race.' The Kwanzaa Information Center also notes that the flag 'has become the symbol of devotion for African people in America to establish an independent African nation on the North American Continent.'
James Coleman, a former Black Panther, argues, 'By only stressing the unity of black people, Kwanzaa separates black people from the rest of Americans. Americans must unify on whatever principles ensure we live in a safe, prosperous, God-loving country, with the race and ethnicity of any American seeking to abide by those principles being of no consequence.'
DeportNow......
President Bush has embraced Kwanzaa as a legitimate holiday, no surprise here. He also states" all religions are equal", and "we all worship the same god". This genius also believes giving millions of illegal aliens, that have invaded our sovereign nation- citizenship, is not amnesty.
Just a guess, but he probably believes Santa Clause, really does fly around delivering presents to all those children.
RED SKELETON'S........
Pledge of Allegiance
(As originally recited on his TV show)
I've been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all semester and it seems as though it is becoming monotonous to you. If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word?"
I -- me, an individual, a committee of one.
Pledge -- dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self pity.
Allegiance -- my love and my devotion.
To the flag -- our standard, Old Glory, a symbol of freedom. Wherever she waves, there's respect because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody's job!
United -- that means that we have all come together.
States -- individual communities that have united into 48 great states.
Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose; all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose, and that's love for country.
And to the republic -- a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.
For which it stands, one nation -- one nation, meaning "so blessed by God"
Indivisible -- incapable of being divided.
With liberty -- which is freedom -- the right of power to live one's own life without threats, fear or some sort of retaliation.
And Justice -- the principle or quality of dealing fairly with others.
For all -- which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine.
Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country
and two words have been added to the pledge of Allegiance...
UNDER GOD
Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said
that is a prayer
and that would be eliminated from schools too?
God Bless America!

Rebel Flag History
During the Civil War, many Southern states left the Union. These Confederate or "Rebel" states wanted their own flag to fly. The first Rebel flag that flew over the Confederacy, was the Bonnie Blue. The Bonnie Blue was never adopted by the confederacy, but it was loved by the people. Officially, the first Rebel flag was the Stars and Bars. The Stars and Bars flew from March 1861 to May of 1863. Unfortunately this Rebel flag looked too much like the Union's Stars and Stripes. The Confederate states decided to look further for a more unique design.The best-known Rebel flag was the Confederate Battle Flag, also known as the "Southern Cross". The Battle flag was carried by Confederate troops during battle. So, on May 1st,1863, the second Confederate flag design was adopted, placing the Battle Flag as the canton on a white field. It was named the Stainless Banner. This Rebel flag was mistaken for a truce flag in calm weather, since it would just hang with mostly white showing. This led the Confederacy to create the third Official Rebel flag. On March 4th,1865, a new pattern was adapted. It was the same as the previous design, but with a wide, red stripe on the fly end. The third flag did not last long, since the war came to an end. It was called the Last Confederate flag.The Confederate Battle flag is the most recognized Rebel flag. Many people know it from the Dukes of Hazzard TV show. The Rebel flag was painted on the top of the Duke Boys' car, the General Lee. The Confederate flag has also appeared on several southern state flags at one time or another. The only state to keep the Rebel flag as part of their state flag presently is Mississippi.
Four Heroic Reasons POW/MIAs Cannot Be Forgotten
U.S. government representatives from all levels define the search for missing American prisoners of war (POW/MIA) in terms of accounting for the dead through the recovery of remains. U.S. and Vietnamese officials alike brag openly about communist Vietnam's "overwhelming cooperation" in the search for bones. But it is all a lie - a smoke screen.
The truth is found in volumes of reports surrounding the disappearance in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia of hundreds of American servicemen — men who were known to have been alive in captivity but not released or accounted for at the end of the Vietnam War.
The United State Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs headed by Vietnam veteran and former Vietnam War protester Sen. John Kerry,(D-Mass) after an 18 month study and investigation, was forced (begrudgingly) to admit in its final report that yes, the United States did leave living U.S. prisoners of war behind.
The Select Committee report issued January 13, 1993 said in typical Washington bureaucratic "double speak" that, "We acknowledge that there is no proof that U.S. POWs survived, but neither is there proof that all of those who did not return had died. There is evidence, moreover, that indicates the possibility of survival, for at least a small number, after Operation Homecoming."
People ask over and over again, "The war is over. Why would the Vietnamese continue to hold American POWs?"
Who knows why the communists do so many cruel things? That is not the issue. The facts are that the communists did hold back living U.S. prisoners, and the U.S. government knows it. The communists have never been required to account for these missing Americans.
The POW/MIA question will not go away because neither Washington or Hanoi has ever been able or willing to explain what happened to these missing American heroes.
Four such men are U.S. Army Special Forces Capt. "Rocky" Versace, U.S. Marine Capt. Donald Cook, U.S. Army Special Forces Sgt. Kenneth Roraback and U.S. Army military advisor Harold Bennett.
These American POWs, like many other prisoners of the South Vietnamese communists (Viet Cong), were known to have been alive and healthy in the hands of the Viet Cong, but were never released. No Americans witnessed their deaths or saw their bodies, nor have their remains been returned.
The question is not why would the communists keep U.S. prisoners, but rather what happened to our men? If they are alive, why haven't they been released? If they are dead, why did they die? Who is responsible for their deaths, and where are the remains?
These questions are fundamental to the "live POW/MIA issue" - the issue that the United States government wishes would just go away.
The communists claimed they executed Versace, Roraback and Bennett. They say Cook died of Malaria.
All four men resisted collaborating with the enemy, and the Viet Cong labeled them trouble makers and "reactionaries."
Despite daily threats from the Viet Cong that refusal to cooperate "would advance" the POWs chances of "never" being released, these brave American men continued to give unyielding loyalty to the United States.
Rather than negotiate with their captors for early release or better treatment, the POWs vehemently argued with their captors against the objectives of communism and in favor of the United States and its democratic way of life.
At night, the Americans were chained in 4' by 6' bamboo cages. As punishment for their loyalty to the United States and rebuke of the communists, the guards would remove the prisoners' mosquito net.
"Under the lenient policy of the National Liberation Front, we're going to wash your mosquito net, and we want your clothes, too," the guards would mockingly announce to the prisoners.
Through the night, the defiant Americans would be left chained at the mercy of hordes of hungry mosquitoes.
In many cases, the Americans were beaten and purposely denied food and medication.
The Viet Cong were particularly agitated at Cook, who true to the Marine Corps tradition, continued to frustrate them. Setting an example of resistance for his fellow prisoners, he often jeopardized his own health and well-being by sharing his meager supply of food and scarce medicines with other prisoners who were more sick than himself.
Cook, according to one returned prisoner, became legendary in his refusal to betray the United States. On one occasion, the Viet Cong were so agitated that they put a pistol to Cook's head. They demanded that he make and sign an anti-American statement. The Marine Captain calmly recited the nomenclature of the parts of the pistol that was pressed against his forehead. He gave the Viet Cong nothing, and they hated him for it. The communists promised, "We can keep you forever."
In March of 1965, Cook and Bennett made an unsuccessful escape attempt. The Viet Cong beat them mercilessly.
Bennett began to further resist the Viet Cong. He became sicker and soon could not eat. He and Cook were placed in cages away from each other and other Americans. Bennett soon disappeared after being marched off to another camp.
On June 24, 1965, days after the South Vietnamese had executed several Viet Cong terrorists who had been convicted of throwing grenades into restaurants, the communists announced they had executed Sgt. Harold Bennett.
Fed up with Cook who had become very sick, the communists denied him food and medicine.
Roraback remained defiant and verbally combative with his captors. He refused to stop yelling across the camp talking to Cook despite Viet Cong orders forbidding prisoners from talking to the isolated Marine.
"You have been told many times not to talk to Cook, and yet you continue to do so. Because of this, your life can no longer be guaranteed," the guards threatened Roraback.
Roraback refused to be intimidated, according to a returned prisoner. He described the scene, "The Viet Cong translator had barely finished interpreting the camp commander's orders to Roraback before Roraback defiantly laughed in his face. The camp commander's nostrils flared. His face turned red. He made a gesture as if he were going to hit Roraback but instead spun on his heel and stomped away."
That evening, while the American prisoners were sitting in their hammocks talking, a guard came for Roraback.
"The camp commander wishes a conversation with you," he told Roraback.
As Roraback was marched off to an unknown location, the other American prisoners watched in shock while Viet Cong guards took down his hammock and packed up his belongings.
The next morning, the prisoners heard two shots fired somewhere near the camp.
None of the American prisoners knew where the Viet Cong had taken Roraback, nor did any of them ever see him again.
Although no Americans witnessed the execution, U.S. government sources say that the Viet Cong slipped up behind Roraback while he was eating a bowl of rice and executed him by shooting him in the back of the head.
One released prisoner described Versace's resistance: "Rocky stood toe to toe with them. He told them to go to hell in Vietnamese, French and English. He got a lot of pressure and torture, but he held his path. As a West Point grad, it was Duty, Honor, and Country."
Another surviving prisoner said Versace believed so strongly in the military Code of Conduct (the definitive code specifying the responsibilities of U.S. military personnel while in combat or captivity) and the Geneva Convention (international rules for the treatment of prisoners of war) that "the communists went after him with a vengeance."
Versace spent long hours pointing out to his interrogators the hypocrisy of the Marxist/Leninist and Ho Chi Minh philosophy. He rebuked the Viet Cong for their violent and bloody revolution against democracy and freedom.
Finally, Versace's captors permanently moved him into isolation and an intense "re-education" campaign. Orders were issued from the Communist National Liberation Front Central Committee to either break Versace or kill him.
Versace was tortured and forced to sit in leg irons and listen to hours of lectures about the evils of democracy. The Viet Cong told him they would never release "unrepentant Americans." They taunted him with an ultimatum. If he ever wanted to go home, he would have to denounce the U.S. government and its effort in South Vietnam as "imperialistic, unjust and illegal."
On October 19, 1964, a prisoner who could not see the isolated Versace overheard him arguing vehemently with an interrogator. The interrogator was yelling, accusing Versace of being "reactionary" and "unrepentant."
According to the prisoner, Versace replied clearly in a loud voice, "I am an officer in the United States Army. You can force me to come here, you can make me sit and listen, but I don't believe a damned word of what you say."
The next day, Versace disappeared from the camp.
On Sunday, September 26, 1965, the Viet Cong "Liberation Radio" announced that Versace and Roraback had been executed on orders of the National Liberation Front Central Committee.
Cook was seen by another POW in February 1967 who said Cook appeared to be in good physical condition. Another returned prisoner of war, who was the last American to see Cook alive, said he was later told by a Viet Cong guard that Cook had died of malaria in December 1967.
For his heroic actions above and beyond the call of duty during his captivity, Capt. Donald Cook was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor and war promoted to the rank of Colonel.
On May 3, 1997, the Navy christened a DDG 75 guided missile destroyer after Donald Cook, the first in Naval history to be named after an unreturned prisoner of war.
Did the Viet Cong murder Versace, Roraback and Bennett? Did Cook really die of malaria? Or were the deaths faked so that the Viet Cong could haul the Americans off to a secret prison, making good on their threats: "We can keep you forever."
Ironically, as high ranking U.S. government officials and corporate executives flock to Vietnam to set up and close lucrative business deals, the one man they all shake hands with is former Viet Cong and National Liberation Central Committee member Vo Van Kiet. He is now Vietnam's prime minister.
During the war, Vo Van Kiet, as a high ranking member of the Central Committee, actually participated in the decisions that resulted in life or death for American prisoners of war.
If Versace, Roraback and Bennett were executed, it is Vo Van Kiet who gave the orders. If Cook is dead, it is Vo Van Kiet who is responsible for the brutal and inhumane policies which caused Cook's death.
If the Americans are not dead, then Vo Van Kiet knows exactly what happened to them. He also knows what happened to the hundreds of other American prisoners of war who did not come home.
Capt. "Rocky" Versace was captured October 29, 1963 while accompanying a Special Forces Civilian Irregular Defense Group (CIDG) company on an operation near the village of Le Coeur in the 4th Corps of South Vietnam.
A superior force of Viet Cong ambushed Versace's company. Unable to secure air support or reinforcements, the CIDG strikers, after a fierce fire fight, were overrun.
Captured that day with Versace were 1Lt. "Nick" Rowe and Sgt. Daniel Pitzer. The Viet Cong force marched the three Americans into the U Minh Forest.
Marine Capt. Donald Cook was captured New Year's Eve, 1964 while operating in South Vietnam's 4th Corps as an advisor to the 4th Battalion of the Vietnamese Marine Corps. During the fighting, Cook was wounded in the leg and later captured.
Sgt. Harold Bennett was captured December 29, 1964 during a fire fight with the Viet Cong in Phuoc Tuy Province, South Vietnam. Bennett, who was operating as an advisor to the South Vietnamese Army, was captured with fellow advisor Sgt. Charles Crafts. The Viet Cong force marched both Bennett and Crafts south into the U Minh Forest.
United States Army Green Beret Sgt. Kenneth Mills Roraback was captured November 24, 1963 when an estimated 400-500 Viet Cong overran the Hiep Hoa Special Forces camp. Hiep Hoa, which was located in the Plane of Reeds between Saigon and the Cambodian border, was one of many Special Forces camps fortified and strategically located in the midst of known heavy enemy presence. Because of their isolated locations, camps like Hiep Hoa were vulnerable to attack.
Hiep Hoa was the first Special Forces camp to be overrun in the Vietnam War. Those captured with Roraback were SFC Issac "Ike" Camacho, SGT George E. "Smitty" Smith and SP5 Claude D. McClure. Their early days of captivity were spent in the jungles southwest of Hiep Hoa, and they were later moved south deep into the jungles of the U Minh Forest.
Sgt. Pitzer, a medic, was released early to escort a nearly dead prisoner who the Viet Cong were trying to release for propaganda purposes before he died.
Lt. Rowe escaped during a B-52 strike which hit his camp.
Sgt. Comacho escaped during a heavy rain storm.
Sgt. Crafts was released.
After the Viet Cong told Smith and McClure that Versace, Roraback and Bennett had been executed, the two sergeants began cooperating with the communists and were rewarded with early release.
After Smith and McClure returned to U.S. control, they were court martialed by the United States Army and forced out of military service.
Update by DeportNow...
Over 27 years after the evacuation of the U.S. Embassy in Saigon, Captain Rocky Versace was awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery as a prisoner of war. POWs that returned to the United States reported the last that they heard of this great American, he was singing God Bless America at the top of his lungs.
Recently President Bush stated in an interview with a Arab News network that "all religions are equal" and "we all worship the same god". I can assure you Captain Rocky Versace was not speaking of some phony, imaginative moon god named "Allah" when he sang God Bless America! I also can assure the President that this brave soldier was speaking of the Almighty God , the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the creator of the heavens and earth, and all living creatures within. If the president is worshiping some phony moon god ........the time will come when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess to the creator of the heavens and earth- The Lord Jesus Christ.

The Los Angeles Police Department announced plans Thursday to map Muslim communities, hoping to identify people who might be liable to succumb to – as Deputy Chief Michael P. Downing put it – “violent, ideologically based extremism.” Downing said that the LAPD would work with a Muslim partner, and added: “We want to know where the Pakistanis, Iranians and Chechens are so we can reach out to those communities.”
The ACLU of Southern California, an association of Muslim lawyers called Muslim Advocates, the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California and the Council on American Islamic Relations wrote to Downing that “singling out individuals for investigation, surveillance, and data-gathering based on their religion constitutes religious profiling that is just as unlawful, ill-advised and deeply offensive as racial profiling.” And also, “the mapping of Muslim communities...seems premised on the faulty notion that Muslims are more likely to commit violent acts than people of other faiths.” [emphasis added]
Of course they aren’t: that’s why we see Presbyterians blowing themselves up in crowded restaurants, Buddhists flying planes into buildings, and Amish waving placards crowing that they will soon dominate the world. The mapping of Muslim communities is sensible in light of the violent acts committed around the world – over 9,000 separate attacks since 9/11 – in the name of Islam. But political correctness has kept law enforcement officials (and the media) from asking the hard questions they should ask of Muslim leaders in the United States. Absurdities abound. One police official lamented: “We’ll come back from a Kumbayah meeting with a local mosque and realize that these guys who just agreed to help us are in our terror files!” Cleveland Muslim leader Fawaz Damra signed the Fiqh Council of North America’s condemnation of terrorism — and was later deported for failing to disclose his ties to terrorist groups. [emphasis added]. Damra was never expelled from his communities in Brooklyn, New York, or Cleveland despite having said at a 1989 Islamic conference that “the first principle is that terrorism, and terrorism alone, is the path to liberation.”
Peaceful American Muslims have not moved to expose, expel, or separate themselves from those who hold such sentiments. [emphasis added]. There is no wall of separation in the American Muslim community between Muslims who accept American pluralism and want to live ordinary lives and those who hold to the ideology of jihad and the subjugation of infidels held by Osama bin Laden. And authorities have not investigated the presence of such sentiments at all, despite the fact that they could be a reliable indicator of who might commit violent acts in the future and who might not.
Are there really jihadist sympathizers in American mosques? Yes. Sahim Alwan, a onetime leader of the Yemeni community in Lackawanna, New York and president of the mosque there, has the distinction of being the first American to attend an Al Qaeda training camp. Maher Hawash’s transition from secular Intel exec to jihadist was accompanied by an increase in his Islamic fervor and frequent mosque attendance.
This doesn’t mean that every Muslim in the United States is secretly plotting a jihad attack. But would it really be wise to risk everything on the assumption that none are?
The outrage of the ACLU and the Muslim groups over “the faulty notion that Muslims are more likely to commit violent acts than people of other faiths” founders on the fact that many Muslim groups have actually declared their desire to commit violent acts in the United States. We would be foolish – suicidally so – not to take all necessary steps to protect ourselves accordingly. If American Muslim groups were genuinely concerned about the unfair targeting of Muslims, they could direct their efforts to making concerted efforts to work with law enforcement officials to identify and apprehend jihadists in the United States, and to turn Muslims in America away from the jihad ideology and Islamic supremacism. [emphasis added].
The fact that they do not do this, and instead work against genuine efforts to protect this country from a catastrophic attack, is revelatory. Despite their complaints, this mapping should continue, and expand.

Chertoff Feels The Heat from Tancredo
'We're not going to tolerate people blatantly disregarding our laws' Sanctuary cities – whether their law enforcement personnel deliberately obstruct federal immigration enforcement or simply ignore such violations when they encounter them – soon could be facing the wrath of the federal government in court, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Homeland Secretary Michael Chertoff recently told a congressional committee he didn't intend to "tolerate interference" by sanctuary cities that would block companies from participating in such programs as "E-Verify," which allows workers' IDs to be checked before hiring. "I intend to take as vigorous legal actions as the law allows to prevent that from happening, prevent that kind of interference," he told Congress.
Within days, the first fruits of that promised were revealed, with a lawsuit against the state of Illinois over a legislative proposal signed into law by Gov. Rod Blagojevich. According to published reports Illinois is "complicating" efforts by federal agents with a state law that virtually blocks corporations from participating in the program that was set up to verify if new employees have legal standing to work in the United States. "The state of Illinois has now made it illegal to comply with federal law," Chertoff told reporters when the action was filed. "That's not acceptable as a matter of the Constitution." Illinois already had become famous among sanctuary supporters, since one of the higher profile cases in recent months involved Elvira Arellano, who came into the United States illegally, was deported, returned, and when facing another deportation took refuge in Adalberto United Methodist Church in Chicago. She remained there for months before traveling to California where she was arrested and deported from Los Angeles. When the lawsuit was announced, reporters speculated the high profile Chertoff gave it was meant as a warning to other states and cities that also may be involved in such "sanctuary" issues. A department spokeswoman, Veronica Nur Valdez, told WND the department has committed to doing what it needs to, "up to and including legal action" to make sure everyone is working on the same page of immigration law enforcement. "The lawsuit is in regard to E-Verify, a voluntary program. It's free and simple to use. It's an online program where employers can match up new hires' information with government databases and basically know with a matter of minutes whether that person is eligible to be hired," she said. "It's a tool meant to serve employers who want to act in good faith and take appropriate steps and make sure they hire legal employees," she said. More than 30,000 companies already are taking part. The lawsuit said the program answers about 93 percent of such inquiries immediately or the next day, while the rest take longer. Illinois' new Right to Privacy at Work Act, however, bans participation in the program until Homeland Security reports it can do 99 percent of all investigations and return the final results within three days. Blagojevich spokeswoman Abby Ottenhoff said it was passed to "protect employees" from what she described as "unfair treatment under the federal government's flawed Basic Pilot Program." The federal government, however, views the Illinois law as an infringement of the U.S. Constitution's supremacy clause, which elevates federal law over state or local rules. "What we can't do when we pass a federal law is have the states decide they want to modify that law," Chertoff told reporters then. Valdez told WND the state law is impeding the federal agency's ability to carry out its responsibilities to the U.S. citizens. "We're very committed to our responsibility to the American people," she said. "We are using the law as it is written and enforcing it as best we can. We're very committed to this. "I think," she continued, "we're not going to tolerate people blatantly disregarding our laws. It's a disservice to our nation to have people turn a blind eye to our laws." She said such cases won't all be identical, and probably won't be handled identically. "I think what we have is fundamentally, our state and local governments are trying to impede the department and the federal government's responsibility to enforce our laws to the point that it's a concern," she told WND. "The secretary has made it clear we're not going to lay back. We will vigorously fight whatever [impedes] federal law." Many argue over the exact meaning of a "sanctuary" city, county or state, but it's generally understood in those locations, which have been compiled and listed by organizations such as the Ohio Jobs & Justice Political Action Committee, apply a lower standard of enforcement to federal immigration laws than other laws. Lawsuits might not be the only way that such "sanctuary" governments face a penalty, either. U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., has for a number of years introduced legislation that would withhold federal emergency services funding from such cities. To his surprise, the amendment attached to the funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security was endorsed by the U.S. House this year. "The people of the country really have spoken," Tancredo told newspaper reporters then. "It's a really good indicator of just how much closer to the people the House is than the Senate." The vote was 234-189, with 50 Democrats supporting his plan. Tancredo earlier had worked with other opponents of illegal immigration to post billboards in Denver, including one that said: "Welcome to SANCTURAY CITY … Relax, you made it!" However, the city long has questioned that description, contending that city policies "comply" with federal law. Tancredo, whose campaign for the 2008 GOP nomination for president has focused on immigration issues, also had ruffled feathers by urging the families of three young murder victims to consider suing Newark, N.J., over the city's "lax" immigration policies. One of the suspects was identified as an illegal Peruvian immigrant who had had two earlier encounters with the law, being indicted twice on charges of child rape and aggravated assault. However, he was released on bail both times. There, Mayor Cory Booker defended the less-than-stringent enforcement policy. "Local law enforcement officials should not be going out asking, inquiring and investigating whether people are documented or undocumented," he told reporters. A spokesman for President Bush earlier told WND that such resolutions and statements by local governments about their "sanctuary" offerings weren't anything the president would pursue. But officials for an activist group, Americans for Legal Immigration, say they would offer a solution. The question at that point was a sanctuary designation by New Haven, Conn., so ALIPAC officials said they would circulate a promotion in more than three dozen states – urging illegal aliens to move to New Haven. "Maybe New Haven needs to learn, if they want the illegals, then they'll get the illegals," ALIPAC President William Gheen told WND. New Haven's plan was to offer illegals identification cards so they could use city services such as libraries. Supporters reported the cards will improve "public safety" and give the illegal aliens protections that already are given to legal residents. New York also is embroiled in turmoil over the governor's proposal to grant illegal aliens drivers' licenses.

Global Jihad
Posted: November 10, 2007 1:00 a.m. Eastern By Art Moore © 2007 WorldNetDaily.com
A Washington, D.C., imam states explicitly on the website for his organization that he is part of a movement working toward replacement of the U.S. government with "the Islamic State of North America" by 2050.
With branches in Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento and Philadelphia, the group As-Sabiqun – or the Vanguard – is under the leadership of Abdul Alim Musa in the nation's capital.
Musa's declaration of his intention to help lead a takeover of America was highlighted by noted Islam observer Robert Spencer on his website Jihad Watch.
Spencer told WND that figures such as Musa should not be ignored, "Not because they have the power to succeed, but because they may commit acts of violence to achieve their purpose."
Musa's website declares: "Those who engage in this great effort require a high level of commitment and determination. We are sending out a call to the believers: Join with us in this great struggle to change the world!"
Musa launched the group in the early 1990s at the Al-Islam mosque in Philadelphia. His group says it is influenced by the writings and life work of Muslim thinkers and leaders such as Muslim Brotherhood founder Hasan al-Banna, Sayyid Qutb and Iranian revolutionary Ayatollah Khomenei.
The writings of Al-Banna and Qutb figured prominently in al-Qaida's formation.
Musa's organization says its leadership "has delivered numerous speeches in the United States and abroad, contributing their analyses and efforts to solve contemporary problems in the Muslim world and in urban America."
Abdul Alim Musa
"The paramount goal of the movement is the establishment of Islam as a complete way of life in America," the group declares. "This ultimate goal is predicated on the belief – shared by many Muslims worldwide – that Islam is fully capable of producing a working and just social, political, economic order."
The groups says it does not "advocate participation in the American political process as an ideal method for advancing Islamic issues in the U.S.; instead, it believes in a strong and active outreach to the people of the U.S."
Spencer told WND he does not know of any direct influence Musa has on prominent Muslim leaders or on U.S. policymakers, but he says it's "unclear how much 'mainstream' Muslim leaders harbor similar hopes – because no one dares question them about it."
As WND reported, the founder of the leading Islamic lobby group CAIR, the Council on Islamic-American Relations, reportedly told a group of Muslims in California they are in America not to assimilate but to help assert Islam's rule over the country. CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper also has said, in a newspaper interview, he hopes to see an Islamic government over the U.S. some day, brought about not by violence but through "education."
In London last summer, as WND reported, Muslims gathered in front of the London Central Mosque to applaud fiery preachers prophesying the overthrow of the British government – a future vision that encompasses an Islamic takeover of the White House and the rule of the Quran over America.
Musa says he wants to avoid what he calls an "absolutist" outlook on "the advancement of Muslims."
His group's philosophy is to stress unity between the various streams of Islam "in the attainment of common goals."
Although As-Sabiqun is a Sunni movement, it has publicly voiced support for Shia movements and organizations such as the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran and the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah, which waged war on Israel in the summer of 2006.
Musa, the group says, repeatedly has "stressed that the tendency by some Muslims to focus on the differences between Sunni and Shia Islam at this juncture in history is counterproductive to the goals of the Islamic movement as a whole."
The group says it encourages social-political advancement concurrent with a program of spiritual and moral development according to the Quran and Sunnah, compilations of stories from the life of Islam's prophet Muhammad.
The group says it has a six-point plan of action which is implemented at each location where a branch of the movement is established.
Establishing a mosque "as a place to worship Allah in congregation and as a center of spiritual and moral training."
"Calling the general society" to embrace Islam.
Establishing a full-time school "that raises children with a strong Islamic identity so they can, as future Islamic leaders, effectively meet and deal with the challenges of growing up in the West."
Establishing businesses to "make the movement financially stable and independent."
Establishing "geographical integrity by encouraging Muslims of the community to live in close proximity" to the mosque.
Establishing "social welfare institutions to respond to the need for spiritual and material assistance within the community as well as the general society."
In addition to daily classes, each mosque in the movement "also provides youth mentorship, marriage counseling, a prison outreach program, and employment assistance for ex-convicts."
As-Sabiqun says its branch in Los Angeles "was instrumental in creating a free health clinic in cooperation with other Islamic groups. The headquarters branch in D.C. has developed scout programs for young members of the community."
The group says the inspiration for its name comes from Quran, 9:100:
"The vanguard (as-Sabiqun) of Islam – the first of those who forsook their homes, and of those who gave them aid, and also those who follow them in all good deeds – well-pleased is Allah with them, as are they with Him: For them hath He prepared Gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein forever: that is the supreme Felicity."
Hate Group CAIR Targets Another Conservative Talk Show Host
Sunday, November 11, 2007 9:19 PM
By: Susan Jones, CNSNews.com Senior Editor
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is pressing advertisers to withdraw their sponsorship of Michael Savage's nationally syndicated radio program because of Savage's alleged "anti-Muslim bigotry."
Savage, on his Web site, is fighting back, urging his listeners to protect freedom of speech: "Email your representative; investigate CAIR for manipulating the U.S. media," his Web site says.
On Nov. 1, CAIR urged "radio listeners of all faiths" to contact companies that advertise on "The Savage Nation" to complain about an "anti-Muslim tirade" on Savage's Oct. 29 program. (CAIR periodically issues "incitement alerts," urging its members to contact various media outlets to express their concerns about "Islamophobic attitudes.")
CAIR was particularly disturbed by Savage's "shouted anti-Muslim attacks," which it quoted as follows:
"I'm not gonna put my wife in a hijab. And I'm not gonna put my daughter in a burqa. And I'm not getting' on my all-fours and braying to Mecca. And you could drop dead if you don't like it. You can shove it up your pipe. I don't wanna hear anymore about Islam. I don't wanna hear one more word about Islam. Take your religion and shove it up your behind. I'm sick of you."
"What kind of religion is this? What kind of world are you living in when you let them in here with that throwback document in their hand, which is a book of hate. Don't tell me I need reeducation. They need deportation. I don't need reeducation. Deportation, not reeducation. You can take C-A-I-R and throw 'em out of my country. I'd raise the American flag and I'd get out my trumpet if you did it. Without due process. You can take your due process and shove it."
"What sane nation that worships the U.S. Constitution, which is the greatest document of freedom ever written, would bring in people who worship a book that tells them the exact opposite. Make no mistake about it, the Quran is not a document of freedom. The Quran is a document of slavery and chattel. It teaches you that you are a slave."
CAIR also complained that Savage has a "long history of rhetorical attacks on Muslims and other minorities."
Savage's own Web site describes him as "explosive conservative radio talk show host" who "continues to dominate the airwaves with his brash commentary and unapologetic solutions...Savage is harder hitting than other conservatives...a media icon who is unafraid to take on the establishment."
"...In show, books and speeches, Michael Savage electrifies and galvanizes his audiences. If you're looking for someone with an opinion -- who isn't afraid to tell it like it is -- he's your man."
On Nov. 2, CAIR's Minnesota chapter announced that three companies in that state had agreed to pull their advertisements from "The Savage Nation."
And on Thursday, CAIR thanked Citrix Systems, Inc., for agreeing to drop its advertisements from Savage's nationally syndicated program. "We appreciate Citrix's principled action to disassociate itself from Michael Savage's hate-filled rhetoric," said CAIR Communications Coordinator Amina Rubin in a news release on Thursday.
"We urge other local and national companies running ads on Savage's program to follow Citrix's example in support of religious tolerance."
What about free speech?
"Free speech is a precious right that we fully support and strive to protect," Rubin added. "We are not seeking to curb Mr. Savage's freedom of speech, but to demonstrate that Americans and American companies will not tolerate hatred and bigotry."
CAIR, which describes itself as America's largest Muslim civil liberties group, says its mission is to "enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding."
But conservative commentators who have been on the receiving end of CAIR's anti-Islamaphobia campaigns disagree.
Radio talk show host Michael Graham, forced out of his job in the Washington, D.C., market for refusing to apologize for remarks that offended a Muslim group, landed a new job in Boston, Mass., last year.
CAIR, which pressed for Graham's removal, said it received complaints from Muslim listeners who heard Graham say, "Islam is a terrorist organization," "Islam is at war with America," "The problem is not extremism. The problem is Islam," and "We are at war with a terrorist organization named Islam."
Graham was suspended from his job at ABC-owned WMAL in Washington on July 29, 2005, after he refused a management request to apologize for practicing what CAIR called "hate radio."
"When CAIR is able to quell dissent and label every critic a 'bigot,' the chilling effect is felt far beyond ABC Radio and 630 WMAL," Graham said at the time.
On Thursday, CAIR said radio host Michael Savage has "stepped up his attacks on Islam and Muslims in response to CAIR's advertiser campaign."

Senator Stupid!
Quote of the Week
Debra Saunders, San Francisco Chronicle, Regarding Global Warming:
"Sen. Barbara Boxer of California delivered a speech in the Senate last week in which she linked global warming to the San Diego wildfires, Darfur, the imminent loss of the world's polar bears and even a poor 14-year-old boy who died from 'an infection caused after swimming in Lake Havasu,' because its water is warmer.
"Forget arson. Forget genocide. Forget nature. There is no tragedy that cannot be placed at the doorstep of global-warming skeptics."

Happy Birthday! United States Marine Corp
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marine.
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in ev'ry clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job--
The United States Marines.
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.
The New World Order
Is The Religion of Peace Upset....Again?
CAIR Furious over Robertson Giuliani Endorsement
Wednesday, November 7, 2007 5:11 PM
NewsMax.com
A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group Wednesday urged GOP presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani to reconsider his acceptance of the endorsement of a controversial televangelist known for scathing attacks on Muslims and Islam.
CAIR, America's largest Islamic civil liberties group issued the following press release Wednesday:
In a news release on his campaign website, Giuliani is quoted as saying he is "encouraged" by the endorsement of Pat Robertson, chairman of the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN). "His experience and advice will be a great asset to me and my campaign," said Giuliani.
In 2002, President Bush repudiated rhetorical attacks on Islam by evangelical leaders. Media reports at the time said the president's remarks were prompted by attacks on Islam, particularly those of Pat Robertson, who said that Muslims are "worse than the Nazis." Bush said: "Some of the comments that have been uttered about Islam do not reflect the sentiments of my government or the sentiments of most Americans."
Then Secretary of State Colin Powell echoed the president's remarks when he told a State Department audience, "This kind of hatred must be rejected." The director of the American Jewish Committee called Robertson's "Nazi" omment "outrageous."
On his "700 Club" program, Robertson has repeatedly defamed Islam and Muslims. He called Muslims "satanic," claimed the Quran, Islam's revealed text, is "fraudulent" and said Islam is "a monumental scam." Robertson also called the Prophet Muhammad "an absolute wild-eyed fanatic, a robber and a brigand...a killer" and said the goal of Islam is "world domination."
He called Islam the "religion of the slavers," claimed Americans who convert to Islam exhibit "insanity" and said he would be wary of appointing Muslims to positions in the U.S. government, including judgeships.
In announcing his endorsement of Giuliani, Robertson referred to the "bloodlust of Islamic terrorists."
"It is truly disturbing that a presidential candidate of any party would accept the endorsement and seek the advice of a person with such a clear record of anti-Muslim bigotry," said CAIR National Legislative Director Corey Saylor.
CAIR, America's largest Islamic civil liberties group, has 33 offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, and empower American Muslims.

Weather Channel Founder: Global Warming "Greatest Scam in History"
Posted on 11/08/2007 2:52:27 AM PST
If the founder of The Weather Channel spoke out strongly against the manmade global warming myth, might media members notice?
We're going to find out the answer to that question soon, for John Coleman wrote an article published at ICECAP Wednesday that should certainly garner attention from press members -- assuming journalism hasn't been completely replaced by propagandist activism, that is.
Coleman marvelously began (emphasis added, h/t NB reader coffee250):
It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create in [sic] allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the "research" to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.
Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild "scientific" scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmental conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minutes documentary segment.
[...]
I have read dozens of scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct. There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismissal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.
In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious.
Let's hope so, John; let's hope so.
