ISLAMIC JIHAD - DO THE SIMPLE MATH

When confronting and debating the left-wing, liberal, secular, socialist "progressives" on the growing danger of the radical Islamic jihadist movement; in their constant defense of Islam no matter what, and after they finish calling me an islamophobe, they will come up with the statistic the "only 10%, (and some will even go as high as 15%), of all Muslims are radicalized."

Okay, then lets do some basic math for the liberals so that even they can figure it out. Basic, pre-algebra math.

The last I heard, there are 1.6 BILLION Muslims in the world today. So, to make it fair I will use the lower figure of 10%.

1, 600, 000, 000 x 10% = 160,000,000.

160 MILLION radicalized Islamic jihadists - - - world wide.

Here are some comparisons with that number.

That is ONE HALF the population of the United States.

That is FIVE TIMES the population of Canada.

That is 47,500,000 MORE PEOPLE than live in Mexico.

And now take this into consideration: That is 107.5 TIMES MORE than the population, (men and women), of the ENTIRE U.S Military.

Now I know that not all Muslims are terrorists - - - but I do notice that all of the terrorists are Muslims.

And what about this remaining 90%? Their silence speaks volumes. I, just recently, have started to see just a handful of the peaceful Muslims beginning to speak out against the people who are bastardizing their religion.

And if they believe for one second that their silence is going to get them off the hook from the violence, they are totally wrong. Because the jihadists not only want Muslim domination of the world, they want it to be THEIR type if radical Islam based on Sharia Law. The silent and apathetic Muslims will be beheaded last.

So, after two bombings on the World Trade Center, (the second being successful), the attack on the Pentagon, shootings on our military bases, attempted car bombings in Times Square, more attempted airline bombings, and even Sharia "honor killings" by Muslim fathers on their daughters in the borders of the United States, my question is this:

Do we have to start seeing be-headings here in America before we ALL decide to get serious about this problem?

FREEDOM OF SPEECH-SUPPORT ALL OF IT, OR NONE AT ALL

On August 6, 1966, Lenny Bruce, the hip comedian of the 60's "Beat Generation" was found dead in his home from an apparent drug overdose. Funny as it may seem, I consider Mr. Bruce on of the leading figures in our country for the right to free speech as guaranteed by the 1st Amendment of our constitution. He fought tooth and nail for his right to speak as he wished, and say what he wished, no matter how obscene or obnoxious some other Americans deemed it to be. He went broke doing so, and in a strange way I see his death as a sacrifice for his battle against any government intervention into his First Amendment rights.

Ironically, I also have to bring up the name of Larry Flynt, founder and publisher of HUSTLER MAGAZINE and the empire that it helped him to build. Even though the product he sells and publishes is obscene and pornographic, he fought for his rights guaranteed to him under the First Amendment.

However, to make things even more ironic, when these two men fought for their First Amendment rights, yes, they were also fighting for yours and every other American in our country.

But this entry into my blog is not about the efforts of Mr. Bruce or of Mr. Flynt. No, it is more on the efforts of those who represented them in their fights. Mainly, liberals and the ACLU. It was liberal activist attorneys such as Alan Issacson, Phillipa Strum and William Kunstler who help fight for the Freedom of Speech for these two men. Not only for the rights of Mr. Bruce and Mr. Flynt, but others whom they have represented and fought for:

They fought for the rights of the AMERICAN NAZI PARTY, and their rights to gather, demonstrate and state their opinions publicly. Even in the town of Skokie Illinois in the early 1970's where the Nazi's were allowed to march. A town in which at the time showed that 1 out of 6 of it's Jewish citizens - - - was a survivor of the Holocaust.

These liberal "progressives" have also fought for the right of the BLACK PANTHER PARTY, (new and old), to publicly shout their hatred of whites and Jews and for their right to gather in demonstrations also.

These left wingers also fight for the right of the racist organization of the KU KLUX KLAN, an organization that was founded by southern democrats, to gather on the public streets to spew their rhetoric and white power vitriol.

However, my point is this; in the aftermath of the attempted assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, democrat representing the 8th district in Arizona, these same left wing, liberal, socialist, secular "progressives"; whether they be in the legal profession, the entertainment industry, or be elected officials in the halls of our congress, senate, or state houses are now calling for the control of, or outright ban of talk radio and certain news media. (Yes, they are bring up the debate of the so called FAIRNESS DOCTRINE again).

These liberals even stand up today for the COMMUNITY OF AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS, (CAIR), and their pro jihadist, pro Sharia Law agenda.

Listen, the First Amendment means this: YOU STAND FOR THE RIGHT OF ALL FREE SPEECH - - - OR YOU STAND FOR NONE AT ALL!

The First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America guarantees each American:

The RIGHT --- to be obnoxious.

The RIGHT --- to be obscene.

The RIGHT --- to your opinion.

The RIGHT --- to offend.

The RIGHT --- to dissent.

The RIGHT --- to your vitriol.

The RIGHT --- to your rhetoric.

The RIGHT --- to not agree.

And yes, even the RIGHT --- to be a racist. Just look at Hip/Hop and Rap music and the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, you all have witnessed how he, and it, has been defended and more importantly, by whom.

Left wing, liberal, secular, socialist "progressives"; not only are they trying to eliminate the Second Amendment, but they are targeting now the First, and trying to modify it into something that will benefit only them.

GIFFORDS - HOW SHE IS BEING USED

I wonder how she is going to feel. U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, Congresswoman, Democrat of Arizona representing the 8th district. I wonder how she is going to feel, after she recovers from her injuries. I wonder how she is going to REALLY feel when she realizes that when she took a bullet to her head; that all her "distinguished" colleague's used her and her assassination attempt. Used her and her attempted murder in order to promote their left wing liberal agendas.

I wonder how her family, friends and loved ones are really going to feel after it all sinks in. Not only her, but the family, friends and loved ones who either lost their lives or were wounded on January 8, 2011. I wonder how they are all going to feel when they realize that they have been, and are going to continue to be - - - USED.

It happened within two hours after the shooting, the left wing, liberal, secular, socialist "progressives" began spouting their rhetoric and, yes, I'm going to use the metaphor, began taking their own aim at all those that they consider their enemies.

To these liberals, it was not the act of an insane man who never watched the news or ever even listened to talk radio, that shot Congresswoman Giffords. No, Jared Loughner would HAVE NEVER done what he did if it were not for the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, the National Rifle Association, gun owners, Republicans, conservatives, Sean Hannity, FOX NEWS, etc., that influenced Jared Loughner with their, in the liberals words, "hate speech" and "rhetoric" that made Loughner carry out his heinous crime.

Even the Democratic Sheriff of Pima County Arizona, Clarence Dupnic, without a shred of evidence, lays the blame of this tragedy on conservatives, talk radio and political discourse.

If we the people are as gullible, stupid and as easily influenced as they believe, then we would be blaming the Beatles for the Tate/La Bianca murders, because Charles Manson claims that the British rock group was sending him "secret messages'" to him through their music. Let's blame all heavy metal music for the Columbine High School massacre. Let's blame all hip-hop and rap music for the negative mindset of today's youth. Every time a law enforcement officer is wounded or killed in a shooting, let's pin the blame on Eric Clapton for writing "I Shot the Sheriff".

Let me ask you, if you were the parents of the 9 year old girl who was killed in this tragedy, how would you feel having her and her death being used to promote the political agenda of any political hack?

These people place their political agendas over their country, over their families, over their loved ones, over their friends, and even over their own children. They would sell out family and friends to advance their politics and beliefs.

These people are amoral.

They are liberals first --- Americans second.

They are democrats first --- Americans second.

They are secularists first --- Americans second.

They are left wingers first --- Americans second.

They are socialists and "progressives" first --- Americans, parents, friends, loved ones, brothers, sisters, and family members second.

Plus, they are also EVERYTHING that they claim that they are against. I challenge anybody to give me examples of any of the aforementioned conservatives that may have incited any type of violence anywhere. And I'm talking about REAL hate speech, not metaphors, where they are calling for the death of anybody besides Osama bin Laden or any foreign enemy of our country.

Because I can show where the liberals have.

Actor Alec Baldwin, who is considering running for public office himself, once called for the stoning death Congressman Henry Hyde. He did so on national television and not only did he say that Mr. Hyde must be dragged out of his home and "stoned to death", Mr. Baldwin went on to say that we should do the same to Mr. Hyde's family.

Bill Maher, who has actually uses the word "hate" when speaking of anyone who disagrees with his way of thought, he is rewarded by having his own television talk show on HBO where he has a platform in which to spew his hate filled rhetoric every week.

And then their is William Ayers, the founder of the 60's radical group known as The Weather Underground. This man acted out on his anti-government, anti-capitalism, and anti-establishment hate. This man bombed federal buildings and actually caused the death of American citizens. Did he serve any real hard time, NO! As a matter of fact he was rewarded for his domestic terrorism with tenure at the University of Illinois in Chicago where he is a professor and allowed to teach our children.

DON'T START GOING BACK!

Today, the 112th congress shall come to power and Nancy Pelosi will no longer be the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The reason being is because we all rose up and started a movement that has not ever been seen in this country. The so called "Silent Majority" began to open their mouths and stood up to the arrogant and corrupt politicians that we have allowed to come to power.

We have all realized that we made a huge mistake in electing Barack H. Obama President of the United States. I'll wager that most who did vote for Barack Obama have great remorse in doing so.

Now I say that now is the time we speak even louder. Yes, we won back the House, and made the Senate more balanced. But they are still there, the left-wing, secular, socialist, liberal "progressives". We voted most of them out, but the main characters survived. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Dick "TURBAN" Durbin, Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders. They must be next, they MUST BE rendered powerless and voted out.

We must not stop now, in fact we must triple our efforts. The Internet is a wonderful thing because now you can write you congressman and senators and get the message to them instantly. Get the websites, save them on your computers and relentlessly write them and give them your opinions and demands. Always remember that they are YOUR EMPLOYEES and you must treat them as such. And when you do write your representatives and senators with your demands, always end your correspondences with these words: "OR WE WILL VOTE YOU OUT!"

And as far as the new congressmen and senators that we elected, keep their feet to the fire and do not let Washington DC claim them and change them.

This is a very critical time in our history, our first demands, and I mean demands, not requests, is NOT for new taxes, but for the corrupt politicians in Washington DC, and in our state and local governments TO STOP SPENDING! I am going to demand from my representatives a 25% spending cut across the board, starting with their salaries. There is NO REASON why a Vice Admiral in the Navy after 20 YEARS OF SERVICE makes $153,000 a year, or a Master Chief Petty Officer in the Navy and Gunnery Sergeant of the Marine Corps, also with 20 YEARS OF SERVICE makes $65,000 a year; while a freshman congressman starts at $175,000.

Listen, we must make serious cutbacks in how our government has been spending our money. Right now, if the foreign governments whom our elected officials have been borrowing money from were to call in our loans, then every man woman and child in this country would have to pony up $45,000. A family of four has to come up with $180,000. Next time your out and about, look at everyone you see and just start counting by 45,000.

If we do not make the hard decisions now, then our children and grandchildren will not be stuck with the financial burden of our generations mistakes, no, this country WILL GO BANKRUPT!!

And if that happens, then it will not matter how hard or long you have worked, it will not matter how much you have saved, it will not matter how great your portfolio is, it will not matter how your family estate is and it will not matter what you will or may already have inherited. It will all be wiped out. There will be nothing for anybody.

And the only good thing about that is that then --- we will all be equal in every way.

Thank You from a Veteran

With today being Veteran's Day and all, there is something that I would like to share.

Lately, whenever people find out that I served in the United States Navy, they stop and thank me for my service to our country, even though I served over some 35 years ago.

First of all, it was an honor and privilege to serve my country. I believe every young person should enlist in one of the branches an do so.

When I served it was in the 1970's, in the tumultuous times during and following the noble cause of the Viet Nam conflict. So, second of all, I have something to say to all of you who take the time to do this:

On behalf of all my fellow veterans, from all branches of our military, thank you all - - - for thanking us.

JOHN & BOBBY --- ARE DEAD

Recently I have seen one of the local Chicago newspapers selling a special edition commemorating the 50 years after the death of President John F. Kennedy.

Fifty years later, and the liberals are STILL infatuated with John and Bobby Kennedy; so consumed by them in fact that they have been doing nothing for the past five decades but trying to find a replacement and copy of them.

So far, look who they have pushed on us, Gary Hart, Michael Dukakis, John Kerry, Bill Clinton, Al Gore and now Barack Obama.

Hey, left-wing, secular, socialist liberal "progressives", I have a fact of life for you that you have made yourselves blind, deaf, mute and in denial over these past five decades. It is this:

JOHN AND ROBERT KENNEDY - - - ARE DEAD! THEY HAVE BEEN FOR A LONG TIME! THEY ARE NOT COMING BACK! THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENTS FOR THEM! THE IDIOTS YOU TRY TO REPLACE THEM WITH CAN NOT FILL THEIR SHOES!

Plus:

JOHN KENNEDY WAS NOT THAT POPULAR OF A PRESIDENT ANYWAY! HE WON WITH THE NARROWEST POPULAR VOTE COUNT IN HISTORY!

You all also kept looking to their brother Teddy to fill their shoes, but it could never happen. Why? Well, I use a little movie analysis here. It comes from the epic motion picture, "THE GODFATHER". When it comes to the three Kennedy brothers:

MICHAEL AND SONNY ARE DEAD - - - AND YOU WERE STUCK WITH FREDO!

So please, stop using the deaths and legacies of John and Bobby Kennedy to push your liberal agendas. Their personal lives tarnished their legacies anyway. I'll have to hand it to Barack Obama though, the only thing that he DOES NOT HAVE in common with the Kennedy boys, is that he, (so far as we know), does not have the Secret Service bringing Hollywood starlets into the White House or elsewhere for trysts and secret rendezvous's.

A SIMPLE STIMULUS PLAN

I have come up with a simple economic stimulus plan that every American can participate in.

For those of us who were the last to have taken Economics as a mandatory class in high school, you will remember the one law of economics on the first few pages of any Econ textbook: THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH.

However, there is one other economic fact that I'm going to deal with here; and that is for any economy to flourish, then the money supply has to be in a constant motion, always exchanging hands. This is called CASH FLOW.

Any money that is taken out of circulation, lies stagnant and does not continue to flow hurts the economy more than helps. That is one reason that we are going through this current depression, banks and lending institutions are holding on to their money, afraid to lend it out. It stays in their coffers, making interest for their clients, but not helping new businesses to open, or for current ones to remain open.

I was thinking about this current stagnant money the other day when I came home and did something that I believe that 99.9% of all other citizens of our country do. And when I did this little task that we all do and take totally for granted, an idea came to me on how every American in this country has the power to help bolster our economy sitting right there in our homes. That little task I did was to take all of the loose coins from my pocket that I have accumulated throughout the day and place them in an old coffee can in my closet.

I thought to myself of how many other households in this country must have their own coffee can, glass jar, or even a five gallon plastic water bottle from a water cooler that is either filling or is filled with loose change accumulated over the years. I then thought of just how much of a positive effect it would have on our economy if everyone in the country took all of that loose change to their banks and exchanged it for paper currency. And then, took that currency --- and spent it on something --- anything.

Take yourself and your friends to lunch or dinner, pay off a bill or two, buy yourself something that you have always wanted but never needed, go out on a Friday or Saturday night and hit a few nightspots, (tip those bartenders and waitresses a little extra), anything, just spend that money and put it back into the economy.

Can't think of anything to spend it on? Then give the cash to your kids and/or grand kids for them to go on a little spending spree, send it to your kids in college for them to have a little extra spending money, donate it to a charity, or even go downtown, (in my case that would be Chicago), and hand it out to all the homeless on the street.

Just spend it and get all that stagnant cash back into the economy. This is old money, not all the new stuff that they are busy printing in Washington, DC. And don't stop there, find all that loose change that is around your house or office, lying in the ashtray or cup holder section of your cars. Ladies, take all that loose change that is in your purses, and that overstuffed coin pouch on your wallets, and spend it. In fact, ALWAYS give exact change when paying with cash. For example, if you have a total of $7.68 due at the cash register, instead if handing the cashier a ten or twenty dollar bill and get change back, find the sixty-eight cents in coins and give that to the cashier and get nothing but paper currency in return.

Citizens of America, we have the power to boost our economy in the most simple of ways, find all of our loose coins, and spend them. Do some simple math, if the coins you turn into the bank give you a return of $50, $100, $200 or even $300 or more, just multiply that by all the other households in the United States that have the same amount that you came up with and just think about all that money that is being put back into the local economies.

While we are at it, for those of you who have done it, go in and take your collections of those state commemorative quarters that have been minted over the past ten years, tear them out of their cardboard displays, and go spend those also. Those coins are far from rare, they will not change in value for another century and a half, and they are just sitting there doing nothing. Your collections will be far more valuable when you put those quarters back into circulation.

So there you have it America, a simple economic stimulus that we can all participate in. In these hard economic times, we deserve a little break and that little extra cash that we have not paid any attention to for so long is the way to get that break. I would love to witness how this one little "sacrifice" by all of us will boost our economy. And this plan comes from an average American citizen, not the self anointed geniuses that currently occupy our local and federal governments.

Those Who Boycott Arizona - PROVE IT !!!

To all of you left-wing, liberal, socialist, secular “progressives” who are calling for the boycott of the state of Arizona because of the state’s new immigration enforcement law, (SB 1070). I say that --- you are all full of crap --- and that you really could care less about all the illegal aliens in Arizona or any other state for that matter.

I find it appalling that you would all, especially in these hard financial times, would boycott a state that is populated by your fellow Americans, because of your illusions of grandeur of how the world should be. Your adding to the financial worries and stresses of LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS because of their decision to protect themselves from ILLEGAL ALIENS, in order to promote your misguided agendas, (no matter what the cost, and no matter to who of your fellow citizens whose suffering you now add too), is in my opinion nothing more but equal to treason.

Here is what I say to you, if you really care for the plight of people who are in the United States illegally, then by all means, continue your boycott on Arizona, (and to all of the other states and cities who are now considering passing the same laws). But I challenge you to PROVE IT. That right --- PROVE IT!!!

Prove it to all of us just how sincere you really are in your beliefs. Prove it to all of the illegal aliens in this country how much you care for them, and prove it to them that you are really concerned for their well being.

How do we want you to prove yourselves? Simple. Invite all of the illegal aliens in Arizona, (and the other states who are proposing similar laws), to move to your cities, to move to your neighborhoods, to come in and live in your communities --- among all of you. In fact I challenge you now to stand in front of all of the welcome signs in your cities and towns and welcome them with open arms, shake their hands as they come in, and even tell them where all the low income housing is in your areas and who will hire them and pay them under the table, and have them do all of those jobs that you claim no American will want to do.

There it is --- PROVE IT TO ME --- and the rest of America --- have them all come to live with and next to you.

HELEN THOMAS - UGLY INSIDE AND OUT

HELEN THOMAS --- has proven that a person can be as ugly inside as well as out. On May 27, 2010, outside of the White House for a Jewish heritage event, Ms. Thomas was asked by Rabbi David Nesenoff her opinion on the country of Israel. Ms. Thomas’ reply was that the Jews “should get out of Palestine”, a country that they are “occupying”. That the Jews should return to their “homes”, which are really in Germany, Poland and in the United States.

This is a woman who has sat front row center in the White House press room for decades. Why? She is NOT a reporter, she is an opinion columnist.

First of all Ms. Thomas, if you should go purchase any world atlas published by Rand-McNally, you will discover that there is no country in the world known as Palestine. There once was, but your dear friends at your beloved United Nations in 1948 decided that there shall be a Jewish homeland named Israel. If you look harder you will find that there is no longer a Yugoslavia or Burma also. The U.S.S.R. no longer exists either.

Second of all Ms. Thomas, you are one of the main reasons nobody reads or trust newspapers anymore. If it were not for the sports section, newspapers would not be selling at all.

Why is it that among the left-wing, socialist, secular liberal “progressives”; that Anti-Semitism is the only accepted form of hate, bigotry and racism?

Now she has given one of the pseudo apologies that are famous among the liberals. Ms. Thomas, apology NOT ACCEPTED. You have disgraced yourself and it’s time you do us all a favor and retire from your “profession”.

JOE CAMEL IS INNOCENT !!!

I am here today to proclaim that JOE CAMEL is innocent! JOE CAMEL, the most vilified cartoon character of our time was framed.

In 1992 a group known as the Coalition on Smoking and Health began to petition the Federal Trade Commission to ban JOE CAMEL, citing that because he is a cartoon character, he has a great influence on young people, teenagers and even pre-teens in influencing them to smoke.

Well then I say that if these same left-wing, socialist, liberal, secular “progressives” really think that cartoons are powerful enough with that type of influence, then the Cartoon Network and all modern day cartoons are the reason why young people today are so naïve, ill educated, self centered and shallow.

Why am I defending JOE CAMEL? Because JOE CAMEL was finally banned from being in all types of advertising in July of 1997. No longer could we see JOE in magazines, billboards or even t-shirts. In fact all cigarette advertising was banned by the federal government I would say by 95%. (If you think about it, when the federal government banned cigarette advertising, how many jobs do you think that eliminated?) Banned so much so, that the makers of WINSTON cigarettes could not even advertise, or even put their name on anymore --- on their own NASCAR race.

With that all said, I defend JOE CAMEL because I still see the same amount of young people today smoking as much as when I did, and I quit smoking 33 years ago. Cigarettes today cost anywhere from $6.00 to $8.50 a pack, I would estimate that 90% of the price is for taxes. When I smoked they were 50 cents a pack, 35 cents on the Naval Base I was stationed at. Plus, we had vending machines, which have since been banned, (more jobs lost?). If there are no vending machines, then where are these underage kids today getting their smokes?

With all the campaigns to quit smoking, and the constant attack on the tobacco industry, there are just as many young people today smoking as when I did. Hey kids, I’ll give you an incentive to quit. You girls who smoke? Well --- kissing you is the equivalent of licking an ashtray.

JOE CAMEL is innocent, and since Bill Clinton was president at the time, (who is known for his own infamous use of a tobacco product), I believe he owes JOE an apology, and should formally find a way to totally exonerate him from all blame --- and even pardon him.
