Debt Ceiling Analagy

Here's another way to look at the Debt Ceiling – it’s called common sense – something those in DC lack:

Let's say you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood....and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.

What do you think you should do ……
Raise the ceilings, or pump out the shit?

Your choice is coming Nov. 2012

Hopefully the black community, the majority of whom voted for BHO because of his skin color, not because of his qualifications ( or lack thereof) or voting record, will have a choice between a white liberal (BHO) and a black conservative (Cain). I’m confident that the majority of the black community, when presented with the positions/agendas of the two, will see that their core values align with Cain, who was correct when he said people have been brainwashed. The black community has been brainwashed for 60 years by the Demoncractic party. If they give Cain, a black conservative, a chance, we’ll all see our lives improve dramatically. Maybe they’ll also listen to the chairman of BET, Robert Johnson, who said this:

BET founder Robert Johnson on the "FOX News Sunday" program: "Well, I think the president has to recalibrate his message. You don't get people to like you by attacking them or demeaning their success. You know, I grew up in a family of 10 kids, first one to go to college, and I've earned my success. I've earned my right to fly private if I choose to do so.

"And by attacking me it is not going to convince me that I should take a bigger hit because I happen to be wealthy. You know, it is the old -- I think Ted and Fred and I we both sort of take the old Ethel Merman approach to life. I've tried poor and I tried rich and I like rich better. It doesn't mean that I am a bad guy.

"I didn't go in to business to create a public policy success for either party, Republican or Democrat. I went in business to create jobs and opportunity, create opportunity, create value for myself and my investors. And that's what the president should be praising, not demagoguing us simply because Warren Buffet says he pays more than his secretary. He should pay the secretary more and she will pay more."

Cheeseburger...I Mean Terrorists in Paradise

Anwar al-Awlaki & Samir Khan were killed last week. We can breath a little easier knowing that these jihadists are no longer prowling God's creation planning their next mass murder.

Here is an email I received on 9/30/2011 from ACT for America. While I like their reporting, I must disagree with their statement that "there are clear signs that we have turned the tide against radical Islam here in the U.S." We have a very lax (due to political correctness) Dept. of Homeland Security and just last week the FBI arrested another home-grown jihadi. It is unfathomably to me that al-Awlaki preached at mosques in Virginia for 18 months prior to the 9/11 attacks, that 3 of the 9/11 murders attended his mosque and preaching, and the U.S. didn't freeze his assets until 2010! We're soft and stupid, and the terrorists smell our weakness and are encouraged:

"September 30, 2011

"Another one bites the dust

"The latest blow to radical Islam

"The killing of Anwar al-Awlaki is the latest blow to the ideology of radical Islam. Additionally, according to the news story below, Samir Khan, a Saudi-born U.S. citizen from North Carolina who was the brains behind al Qaeda’s English language “Inspire” magazine, was also killed.

"This is a significant blow to more than terrorism. It is a blow to the jihadist ideology that drives terrorism. The message to jihadists around the world echoes again—you can run but you can’t hide.

"As we have noted in our emails recently, the advance of stealth jihad and sharia in the U.S. is also being successfully confronted. For instance, our successful efforts to pass “American Laws for American Courts” have our opponents reacting with fear and fury.

"We join in rejoicing with freedom-loving patriots across the world at the justice that has been served with the killing of al-Awlaki. But let us not be fooled. While there are clear signs that we have turned the tide against radical Islam here in the U.S., our enemies, whether they be violent jihadists or stealth jihadists, are committed and tenacious.

"Now is not the time to let up. Now is the time to redouble our efforts."

Radical American cleric al-Awlaki killed in Yemen, officials say

GOP's Peter King praises Obama over death of a man he describes as 'more dangerous even than Osama bin Laden'

NBC News and news services

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44727191/ns/world_news-mideast_n_africa/?GT1=43001

SANAA, Yemen — Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born radical cleric linked to al-Qaida who led an organization labeled as one of the most serious threats to U.S. security, was killed by an airstrike in Yemen Friday, according to the country's defense ministry and U.S. officials.

"The terrorist ... has been killed along with some of his companions," the Yemen defense ministry said in a statement sent by text message to journalists, Reuters reported.

The Yemen Defense Ministry announced later Friday that another American in al-Qaida, Samir Khan, was killed with al-Awlaki.

A Yemeni security official told Reuters that al-Awlaki, who is of Yemeni descent, was hit in a Friday morning air raid in the northern al-Jawf province that borders oil giant Saudi Arabia.

He said four others killed with him were suspected al-Qaida members.

NBC News reported that U.S. officials had confirmed that an unmanned American drone had launched the airstrike. A U.S. drone aircraft targeted but missed him in May.

Story: Plenty of al-Qaida targets remain after Osama bin Laden's death

U.S. Rep. Peter King, a Republican who is chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, hailed al-Awlaki's death as "a great success in our fight" against al-Qaida and its affiliates in a statement sent to NBC News.

"For the past several years, al-Awlaki has been more dangerous even than Osama bin Laden had been. The killing of al-Awlaki is a tremendous tribute to President Obama and the men and women of our intelligence community," he added.

'We must remain vigilant'
King, however, warned that "we must remain as vigilant as ever, knowing that there are more Islamic terrorists who will gladly step forward to backfill this dangerous killer."

Al-Awlaki was considered such a threat to the U.S. that the Obama administration took the unprecendented step of putting him, an American, on the U.S. military's and CIA's "kill or capture" target list.

U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News that the fact he was an American made him an even more insidious threat.

"As an American he knows how we think, how we react, and how to push all our buttons," one told NBC News.

However, some U.S. military officials were hesitant to confirm al-Awlaki's death, because they have no forces on the ground to positively identify the body, NBC reported. It was wrongly reported that al-Awlaki was killed in an airstrike in December 2009.

Al-Awlaki was implicated in the so-called underwear bombing attempt on a U.S.-bound plane on Christmas Day in 2009.

He was one of the top officials at Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which was also thought to have been behind the plot to send printer cartridges packed with explosives to the U.S.

AQAP usually confirms the deaths of its members or affiliates on Internet posts a few days after the attack.

Propagandist

Al-Awlaki was not the leader of AQAP — that role belonged to Nasser al-Wuhayshi — but he ranked as its most gifted English-language propagandist.

He preached at mosques in northern Virginia and San Diego attended by three of the Sept. 11 hijackers in the 18 months before the attacks.

In 2010, U.S. officials designated him an individual who had committed or was likely to commit a terrorist act and froze his assets.

#275 of 365 Ways to Drive a Liberal Crazy

Enthuse about 9/11 conspiracy theories, the wackier the better.
You'll be preaching to the choir here: in a May 2007 Rasmussen poll, 35 percent of Democrats said they believe George W. Bush had advance knowledge of the attack, while another 26 percent said they're not sure. Say if it wasn't personally ordered by George Bush or Mossad, then it was almost certainly the Illuminati or the lizard-headed master-race known as the Babylonian Brotherhood, whose membership includes George W. Bush, the Queen of England, Kris Kristofferson, and Boxcar Willie.

Explain sincerely how it was you realized the "official version" of 9/11 couldn't possibly be correct: "Well Islam, right, it's a peaceful religion. No way would these devout guys get on a plane and blow innocent people up. Where's the motive? It's not like Muslims have a track record of major international terrorism..."

Iranian Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani Set to be Executed

Iranian Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani, after enduring a sham trial in Iran, has been sentenced to death for converting from Islam to Christianity, and refusing to recant his Christianity.

This is from an email I received from the ACLJ on 9/30/2011:
"As you may already know, the ACLJ has been engaged in a global effort to save the life of an Iranian Christian Pastor who has been condemned to death by hanging for his Christian faith. His only crime: He embraced Christianity and, for that, has been sentenced to death by the Muslim-controlled government of Iran. The Iranian court demanded that Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani recant his faith three times, to which he responded, “I cannot.”

"Working with contacts on the ground in Iran, international media, and congressional leaders, the ACLJ has been fully engaged in an aggressive strategy to put pressure on Iran to save Pastor Youcef's life. The White House spokesman has issued a statement condemning the promised execution of Pastor Youcef and is demanding his release. We are calling on Secretary of State Clinton to step forward and put the full diplomatic weight of the United States behind this international outcry to save Pastor Youcef. Our attorneys have been working directly with Pastor Youcef’s attorney in Iran, literally around the clock, in an effort to save his life and secure his release from prison.

"I want to share with you a video we have compiled - a brief snapshot of our media outreach on Fox News, CBN News, and the 700 Club - to share Pastor Youcef’s story and put pressure on Iran for his release. Please watch the video and share it with anyone you know who would like to support this pastor.


"As Pastor Youcef’s attorney told us yesterday, the most important thing we can be doing for Pastor Youcef is sharing his story and urging our leaders to pressure Iran to spare this man’s life and release him from prison.
The situation in Iran is very fluid. Pastor Youcef remains under the threat of death, and we are working aggressively to save his life. And, thanks to you, we are making a difference. Since you have been sharing our blog posts, tweeting our updates, forwarding our emails, and signing our petition, we have been able to put the spotlight on this tragic ordeal, and the news coverage and statements of support from congressional leaders are keeping this important story at the forefront.

"This pressure on Iran is not going unnoticed. Our contacts in that country tell us that the judges in the case - who hold the power to execute or free Pastor Youcef - are aware of the international concern - especially in the U.S. It is crucial that we continue to keep the pressure on Iran. And we are committed to doing just that.

"The only reason that we have been able to engage this issue fully - in this country and in Iran - is because of your generous support. We are engaged in so many battles around the globe - some that we are not able to publicly discuss for the safety of those involved - but none of this would be possible without your generous support.

"Please stand with the ACLJ by making a tax-deductible donation today, so that we will have the resources necessary to continue fighting for life and liberty around the world.

"Thank you for your support, and please continue to keep Pastor Youcef in your prayers and share his story with anyone you know. His life truly hangs in the balance."

Jordan Sekulow
ACLJ Executive Director

"P.S. It is absolutely critical that we keep the pressure on Iran to release Pastor Youcef by sharing his situation and keeping it in the media spotlight. Please read my new article on Washington Post, "Working to save the life of a Christian pastor in Iran." You can help Pastor Youcef by clicking the Facebook "Like" buttons in this email and sharing this with your family and friends - keeping his story in the news is very important."

Islamic Terror Attacks on Christians

From TheReligionOfPeace.com:

This site link above does a great job of tracking the horrors perpetrated by "The Religion of Peace." This database only tracks attacks on Christians since 9/11/2011. As you will see, wherever Islam dominates, their sick and perverted belief system allows them to kidnap, torture, kill and rape with impunity. Scoroll through the list of atrocities - it is long. Let your temper boil and your stomach churn. Then give thanks to God that you live in a country where you have freedom of religion and don't have to face biblical-style persecution. Then pray to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to protect their servants from the evil of Islam.

#245 of 365 Ways to Drive a Liberal Crazy

Affect puzzlement at the curious fact that the 2002 Beltway sniper murders were initially blamed by investigators on an "angry white man."

Then wonder why, after the perpetrators were discovered to be inconveniently black and Muslim, the liberal media persistently referred to killer John Muhammad by his pre-conversion name John Williams; and why authorities chose to play down the possibility that the cold blooded assassination of ten Americans by two Islamic converts rambling about jihad had anything to do with terrorism or the "Religion of Peace."

American Moozlums Still Approve of Suicide Bombings

From a 9/2/11 article on GodfatherPolitics.com: American Muslims Still Approve of Suicide Bombings

"A new study out by the Pew Research Center has some interesting statistics out on American Muslim feelings towards suicide bombings. While all the news agencies appear to be reporting on the “wonderful” news that the amount of American Muslims that approve of suicide bombings on civilians has decreased since 2007, no one seems to be reporting that we have American citizens who believe it is ok to do!

I’m sorry, but 9% of Muslims in the U.S. are ok with blowing up civilians! Think about that. According to the CIA World Factbook, in 2010 there were 1.8 million Muslims in the United States. I’m going with this lower figure because no one really knows and I’d rather err on the side of caution. If the 9% holds steady through all 1.8 million American Muslims, then that puts us with at least 162,000 people in the United States that believe it is ok to suicide bomb civilians!

Where are the Muslim leaders speaking out against suicide bombings if it is really against Islam’s teachings? Muslim leaders should be denouncing that 9%. Yes, it is nice to see that fewer people want to murder civilians in the U.S., but even the survey may not be completely accurate, because the sample may not be completely honest. More on that in a minute.

Just for curiosity sake, if we were to take the larger number given by the Council on American-Islamic Relations which is 7 million Muslims in the America that would give us at least 630,000 that are ok with murdering civilians for Islam! Either way, Muslims want to murder for Islam.

This doesn’t factor in the Muslims who are lying and misrepresenting themselves, which is why the survey may not be accurate. While statistics are useful for an accurate survey, if the participants are purposefully misleading, the results are skewed. Muslims are allowed to lie to deceive non-believers. When asking a Muslim a question about their cult, you can’t be assured a straight and honest answer. These scientific polls are only useful when you can trust the person answering the question. In Islam, Muslims are allowed to lie to advance Islam, so we do not have a true grasp of what American Muslims actually believe. There may be a much higher percentage of Muslims in America who would have answered that it is ok to suicide bomb civilians, but we just don’t know."

Dallas Moozlum Accused of Drowning Sons

This upstanding member of the "Religion of Peace" has a history of violent behavior. In 2009 he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second degree felony, for striking his sister in the head with a hammer.

Man Accused of Drowning Sons Held on Murder Charges - story on FoxNews.com.

DALLAS – A Dallas man accused of drowning his two young sons Monday after abducting them while they were walking to school with their mother was being held on capital murder charges, authorities said.

Naim Muhammad, 32, was held on $2 million bond Monday evening in Dallas County Jail on two counts of capital murder. Online jail records didn't indicate if he has an attorney.


Police identified the boys as 5-year-old Naim and 3-year-old Elijah. They have their father's last name, but police have spelled it differently than court and jail records.

A police report said the 32-year-old Muhammad forced his 3- and 5-year-old sons and their mother into his vehicle Monday morning by threatening her with a brick.

She jumped out of the vehicle after it stopped at an intersection when she saw a Dallas constable drive up. She told police that when she got out of the vehicle, the suspect jumped the curb and took off. The constable did not chase the suspect but called police, according to the report.

Police said that while they weren't able to reach the suspect on his cell phone, he did call relatives.

Hours after the boys were taken, authorities received a 911 call from a woman who said her son had drowned her grandchildren and that she had the children, who were unresponsive, in her car awaiting paramedics, Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans said in a statement.

Muhammad's mother, Naimah Muhammad, told KDFW television station in Dallas-Fort Worth that when she located her son she asked to see the children and he took her to a creek.

"At first when I saw them I was saying, `It can't be true! It can't be true!' But once he got them out of the creek and brought them to my car, and I seen they was dead I knew it was true," she told the television station. "That's when I called 911 and told them I had my grandkids and they're dead."

The boys were pronounced dead at a hospital.

The children's mother told police that the suspect told her he was going to kill the children. She also told them that he had previously threatened her life and the lives of the children.

Muhammad also tried but failed Monday to take his youngest child, a 1-year-old, from another location, Police Deputy Chief Craig Miller said at a news conference.

Miller said there was a "continuing family violence situation" between Muhammad and the boys' mother.

Muhammad was previously convicted of violent behavior.

In September 2009, he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second degree felony, and received five years' probation. According to court records, the charge stemmed from a complaint from his sister that he had struck her in the head with a hammer.

Muhammad also has convictions for burglary of a vehicle, theft by check and marijuana possession, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety's online data base.

Hezbollah Setting Up Shop in Cuba

Excerpts from the article by Humberto Fontova, Hezbollah in Cuba for Attacks on Israeli Targets in the Americas

“The Italian daily Corriere della Sera is reporting that Hezbollah is setting up a base of operations in Cuba in order to extend its ability to reach Israeli targets in Latin America…According to the Tel Aviv daily Yedioth Ahronoth, three members of Hezbollah have already arrived in Cuba to set up the cell, which will allegedly “include 23 operatives, hand-picked by Talal Hamia, a senior member tasked with heading the covert operation. The clandestine terror operation is reportedly called "The Caribbean Case."

"...his roaming ambassador Aleida Guevara (Che’s daughter) was in Lebanon posing [to] next to Hezbollah missiles aimed at Israel.

The biggest question now is whether Hezbollah will content itself with Israeli targets. The arrest of a Hezbollah member tasked with setting up a cell in Tijuana was confirmed in a memo from the Tucson Police Dept. in April 2010. "Many experts believe Hezbollah and drug cartels have worked together for decades.” wrote U.S. Rep. Sue Myric R-NC to the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security. “Hezbollah operates almost like a Mafia family in Northern Mexico, often demanding protection money and "taxes" from local inhabitants." She also noted that lately gang tattoos of many prisoners in Arizona jails are written in Farsi.

"Several reports, citing U.S. law enforcement and intelligence sources, document that Hezbollah operatives have provided weapons and explosives training to drug trafficking organizations that operate along the U.S. border with Mexico,” testified Roger Noriega (former U.S. Ambassador to the OAS) to the House Committee on Homeland Security's Subcommittee on Counter-terrorism and Intelligence on July 7th.

“If our government and responsible partners in Latin America fail to act,” continued ambassador Noriega’s testimony. “I believe there will be an attack on U.S. personnel, installations or interests in the Americas as soon as Hezbollah operatives believe that they are capable of such an operation without implicating their Iranian sponsors in the crime.”
