The Obama administration’s denial of reality—
and why Rep. Allen West’s Purple Heart
legislation is so important
Please add your name today!
Dear Nelson,
Last week we emailed you about our open letter to the chairmen of both the U.S. House and Senate Armed Services Committees. The letter calls on the committees to take up and pass H.R. 1142, sponsored by Rep. Allen West, which would confer the Purple Heart upon victims of jihadist attacks (Ft. Hood, the Little Rock Recruitment Center, etc.).
Doing so would correct a grave injustice. It would also shine a light on a reality the Obama administration is desperately trying to deny:
The Obama administration has gone so far in acting on this denial that, at the insistence of radical Muslim organizations, it is expunging any references to “jihad” or “radical Islam” from FBI terrorism training manuals.
- that there is a jihadist ideology;
- that the primary meaning of the doctrine of jihad has always been warfare against non-Muslims;
- that the perpetrators of jihadist violence are not mere “criminals”—they are enemy combatants who deserve to be treated as enemy combatants;
- and that their victims, such as at Ft. Hood and the Little Rock Recruitment Center, are not victims of “crime” or “workplace violence,” but are victims of an act of war—jihad.
This pattern of denial by the Obama administration can be seen in other areas. Recently, Gen. Martin Dempsey, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made the incredulous statement that Iran is a “rational actor” and is not trying to develop nuclear weapons.
This illustrates a triumph of wishful thinking, or perhaps wishful parsing of intelligence data, over an understanding of religious doctrinal beliefs that are at least in part driving Iran’s leaders on its path toward nuclear weaponry. When Ahmadinejad, Khameini, or any other Iranian leader, express their belief in the return of the 12th imam, and how a worldwide apocalypse must occur before this happens, we should take them at their word. What better way to instigate a worldwide apocalypse than to launch nuclear weapons?
But instead of taking this seriously, it seems that this administration dismisses such notions as crazy ramblings, because, after all, no one in our leadership would ever believe such a thing.
The Obama administration has also been exhibiting a denial of reality in the way it is responding to the accidental burning of some Qur’ans in Afghanistan. It has trotted out one apology after another, from different leaders in the administration, even going so far as to promise that those who burned the Qur’ans will be held accountable.
(Interestingly, some modern and ancient Islamic authorities specifically sanction the burning of Qur’ans as a proper means of disposal. To find out more see this enlightening article by our friend and colleague Andrew Bostom.)
The Obama administration actions have been undertaken in the hope that this would somehow assuage the wrath of the Afghan rioters, when in fact it denies the reality that such repeated pleas for forgiveness are doing the exact opposite, like throwing gasoline on a fire. The Obama administration’s actions are emboldening the rioters and have failed to achieve their purported goal.
Every person who signs the Purple Heart letter is not only calling on Congress to correct a grave injustice, he or she is sending a message that we have lost patience with the denial of the reality that jihad is what is motivating Islamic terrorists and that jihad is an act of war.
So if you haven’t yet signed the Purple Heart letter, for the sake of the victims at Ft. Hood and Little Rock, please add your name today.

British Defence League web site reveals: Muslim Brotherhood in Our White House and the Murder of SEAL Team Six
Muslim Brotherhood in Our White House and the Murder of SEAL Team Six
An investigation of President Obama and his administration must commence immediately ...
Published by deedee on 2012/1/24
An investigation of President Obama and his administration must commence immediately.
Tarek Fatah, founder of the Muslim Canadian Congress, author and self-described Liberal Democrat Marxist Muslim who campaigned for Barack Obama, revealed the identity of Obama’s White House appointees who have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood (see Muslim Brotherhood in our White House – Vetting Obama).
Obama’s appointees could access sensitive military and National Defense information while in our White House, to include military missions that were planned for SEAL Team Six. Important questions surround the murder of 30 U.S. special operations troops, which included 17 members of Navy SEAL Team Six.
An investigation is fully warranted, starting with the takedown of Osama bin Laden by SEAL Team Six in May 2011, their subsequent murder on August 6, 2011 and the actions of Barack Obama and his appointees before, during and after these events.
Questions That Must Be Answered:
Why did Obama release the identity of SEAL Team Six as the specific team that took out Osama bin Laden?
Never before has a sitting U.S. President done this. Releasing their identity puts a bulls-eye on their backs by providing Al Qaida, Hamas and the Taliban (terrorist groups created by the Muslim Brotherhood) with the information they need to target those specific soldiers. It also openly provided their identity to White House appointees who have alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Now all that was needed was the time and location of a future mission for SEAL Team Six in order to take them out and avenge the death of Osama bin Laden, which appears to have happened.
Did Obama’s appointees know, in advance, that members of SEAL Team Six would be in that chopper at that location when it was taken down by terrorists?
If not, how is it that the terrorists were in that exact location at that exact time, fully equipped with the artillery needed to destroy the chopper and all who were on board?
Why were the SEALs in a standard Chinook chopper instead of the Boeing MG-47E/G (the ‘Darkhorse’ which is a SPECOPS Chinook used by SEAL Teams)?
Through her devotion and acumen, Ann Barnhardt discovered that the chopper the SEALs and special operations (SPECOPS) troops used on that tragic day was a National Guard Chinook instead of their Darkhorse Chinook. Here is more from Ann’s blog:
GEN. BOYKIN: NATIONAL GUARD CHINOOK INADEQUATE
POSTED BY ANN BARNHARDT – AUGUST 10, AD 2011 12:46 PM MST
At BigPeace.com, Lt. Gen Jerry Boykin confirms that the National Guard Chinook was “inadequate” and “not designed for Special Operations missions.
Who ordered the SEALs and SPECOPS troops to use the National Guard Chinook?
From President Obama to Leon Panetta to Hillary Clinton and on down the chain of command, an investigation must find the answer to this question to determine who ordered the troops to conduct their mission in a standard Chinook instead of the Darkhorse SPECOPS Chinook.
After the SEALs and SPECOPS troops were murdered, why did Obama release that information to the public?And that is exactly what has happened – Al Qaida is emboldened. The Associated Press (AP) reported on Saturday:
Never before has a sitting U.S. President done this. Informing America’s enemies that we have lost our most well trained elite force of SEAL Team Six soldiers and SPECOPS troops provides a direct signal of vulnerability and weakness in America’s military capabilities. It would be difficult to imagine that Obama would not realize the emboldening of America’s enemies that this would cause, to the direct endangerment of the precious lives of our armed forces.
“BAGHDAD (AP) — Al-Qaida in Iraq has vowed to carry out “100 attacks” across the country, starting in the middle of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, to exact revenge for the death of Osama bin Laden…Obama’s Outreach to the Muslim Brotherhood:
Monday marked the middle of Ramadan.
On that day, a wave of crushing attacks swept across Iraq — from the northern city of Mosul to the southern Shiite heartland. At least 70 people died in suicide bombings, roadside bombs and shootings in what was Iraq’s deadliest day this year.”
Cozying up to known terrorist leaders who say they want to destroy America and doing their bidding by going against America’s closest allies because they are targets of these terrorists is dangerous. The Muslim Brotherhood has stated plainly that they seek to destroy “little Satan” (Israel) and “big Satan” (America). Obama’s actions with regard to the Muslim Brotherhood and those who have ties to these terrorists is beyond comprehension. In the article, “Palling Around with Terrorists,” the following was noted – with links that provide the details:
“Obama and Hillary Clinton are reaching out to the Muslim Brotherhood, a radical Islamic fundamentalist group committed to the destruction of America, Britain and Israel and identified as a terrorist organization by the U.S.
Obama puts Israel on a list of countries that support terrorism while he supports the Hamas-ruled region of Gaza.
Obama began talks with the Taliban to negotiate with these terrorists.”
Now we learn more…
Obama cleanses Israel from the White House website.
Obama sells tanks and weaponry to the Islamists in Egypt who want to suspend the treaty with Israel and annihilate them. They have formed a NAZI party that is gaining strength in Egypt today.
Obama invites people to our White House during Ramadan who have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood; he omits their names on the Iftar guest list.
Other Facts Regarding Obama’s Perplexing Actions:
Obama called for Israel to return to the 1967 borders on May 19, 2011, knowing full well that Israel will be unable to protect their people from annihilation with those indefensible borders. Yet when he campaigned for the Presidency, Obama said on June 4, 2008, that he would stand with Israel if he were elected President.
Conclusion:
It must be determined whether Obama’s actions and the people with whom he surrounds himself compromised our SEAL Team Six and SPECOPS troops. The fact that Obama brings individuals into our White House who are allegedly associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, coupled with the other actions he has taken, screams for an investigation into the murder of our beloved Navy SEALs and SPECOPS troops.The American people must demand it and Congress must carry out this investigation immediately.

Best joke of the day about politicians going to Hell.
Got this today in an email. This is a parable about politicians going to hell, sort of like the old jokes about lawyers. The author is unknown and a Google search came up blank. Funny thing about the line that reads: "They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people." When I read it the first thing I thought of was those two Democrats, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and the banking home loan foreclosure crisis they caused by forcing loans to people who couldn't afford them. Isn't it odd that members of Congress conveniently exempt themselves from all the laws they make for the rest of us? Laws like Obamacare and Insider Trading and Social Security. Is there any wonder they are all millionaires?
While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Senator (that may be redundant), was tragically hit by a car and died.His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
"Welcome to heaven," says St.. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."
"No problem, just let me in," says the Senator.
"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from the higher-ups. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."
"Really?, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Senator.
"I'm sorry, but we have our rules."
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course.
In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.
They played a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and the finest champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes.
They are all having such a good time that before the Senator realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises.
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him, "Now it's time to visit heaven...”
So, 24 hours passed with the Senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity."
The Senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell."
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell...
Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls to the ground.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders.
"I don't understand," stammers the Senator. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"
The devil smiles at him and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning. Today, you voted.."
Vote wisely on November 6, 2012.

Is history about to repeat itself? If you're buying gold you need to read this.
Have you ever heard about the government order issued by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 to CONFISCATE GOLD? I'll bet someone in the White House has. Gold represents the true value of the dollar and people are buying it to offset the possibility of an economic collapse due to Barack Hussein Obama's out-of-control borrowing. And that is why the price of gold is soaring to new levels every day.Executive Order 6102
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaExecutive Order 6102 is an Executive Order signed on April 5, 1933, by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt "forbidding the Hoarding of Gold Coin, Gold Bullion, and Gold Certificates within the continental United States". The order criminalized the possession of monetary gold by any individual, partnership, association or corporation.Click image to enlarge view.
Read the whole article on Wikipedia, its an interesting piece of history. In the immortal words of the great American philosopher George Santayana, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. "

There are more reasons to throw Obama out of the White House then you can shake a stick at.
The following came today from Human Events to advertise a new book but the contents of that book described here provides a valid complaint about Barack Hussein Obama that America needs to know about. So consider this a free plug and a commentary that accurately describes the greatest threat America has ever faced. I also think that when the history of this generation is accurately written at some time in the future it will show that we have been made the victims of such a vast conspiracy to install a Marxist/Socialist puppet to oversee the destruction of our once-great country that many will not be able to comprehend it.

America's first Catholic president, Democrat John F. Kennedy, told his teenage mistress, “I’d rather my children red than dead.”
To think that if I had been a few months older I would have been able to vote for a Democrat in the elections in 1960. As a Catholic I was taken in by the hoopla over the Democratic campaign that year. Here was another Catholic, John F. Kennedy, a handsome, charismatic war hero who was being maligned for his religion. The news media carried numerous stories that asked the question, would the Pope in the Vatican have any say about how a Catholic president performed his duties in the White House. I was thrilled when JFK got elected but my hopes and dreams died a few months later on the day that JFK turned his back on the Cuban exiles who had launched an invasion against Communist Fidel Castro in the Bay of Pigs in Cuba. It was JFK and his brother Robert who had promised the exiles air support and then reneged on that promise after the invasion reached Cuban soil. The invasion at the Bay of Pigs was launched in April 1961, less than three months after John F. Kennedy assumed the presidency in the United States and failed with terrible consequences. Hundreds of Cuban exiles were captured, tortured and killed by Castro's Communist forces.
Now, today, one more piece of history about the high moral character of this cowardly low-life Democrat has been revealed. It seems that our first Catholic president was having sexual relations in the White House with a teen-aged intern before, during and after the Cuban Missile Crisis. And more so, that our brave, high-moraled Catholic president had told this young girl, after his took away her virginity, that “I’d rather my children red than dead,”.
The New York Post published a story yesterday about a book just released called “Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy and Its Aftermath,” written by Mimi Alford, who was a 19-year old girl from an influential family from New Jersey. Here is a caption from that story:
Teen mistress addresses relationship, pol's Cold War fears in memoir
In the summer of 1962, Alford was a slender, golden-haired 19-year-old debutante whose finishing-school polish and blueblood connections had landed her a job in the White House press office.
Four days into her internship, she was invited by an aide to go for a midday swim in the White House pool, where the handsome, 45-year-old president swam daily to ease chronic back pain. JFK slid into the pool and floated up to her.
“It’s Mimi, isn’t it?” he asked.
“Yes, sir,” she said.
“And you’re in the press office this summer, right?”
“Yes, sir, I am,” she replied.
And a few hours later John F. Kennedy had intercourse with her in his wife's bedroom after she told him she was still a virgin. You will have to click the title link and read the full four-page story to learn of the intimate details.
But it wasn't the salacious details of this sexual encounter describing how this teenager lost her virginity that caused me to write about it. It was a single statement of admission made by a so-called high moraled Catholic war hero, Democrat President John F. Kennedy, to 19-year old Mimi Alford at the height of the missile crisis that caught my eye. And I wonder how many other Democrats hold the same cowardly view as John F. Kennedy did when he said to Mimi, “I’d rather my children red than dead,”. Guess that's what made me grow up to be a Republican because I always believed just the opposite. I'd rather be dead than red. I would rather die standing on my feet than living the rest of my life groveling on my knees like a slave.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg insults the U.S. Constitution.
February 3, 2012
Justice Ginsburg Calls U.S. Constitution a Bad Example
www.LC.org
Washington, DC - In a recent interview with Egyptian television, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg insulted the U.S. Constitution and advised Egypt to look somewhere else when drafting its own constitution. Justice Ginsburg was asked to give insight on this crucial topic for the post-Mubarak government but focused more on liberal human rights, rather than traditional American freedom.
When describing the nature of a constitution, Justice Ginsburg did appropriately recognize the importance of a constitution and the duty of the citizens to defend it. Justice Ginsburg did not, unfortunately, take her own advice. She undermined insight of its crafters and stated, “I would not look to the US Constitution if I were drafting a Constitution in the year 2012.”
Instead, Justice Ginsburg referred to the constitutions of more supposedly progressive countries, like South Africa, Canada, and the European Convention on Human Rights. She stated, “I can't speak about what the Egyptian experience should be, because I'm operating under a rather old constitution.” This directly refutes the U.S. Constitution’s relevance today.
For a United States Supreme Court Justice, entrusted with the duty to interpret the Constitution, this type of statement is unacceptable. Justice Ginsburg failed to respect the authority of the document that it is her duty to protect. When given the opportunity to promote American liberty abroad, Justice Ginsburg did just the opposite and pointed Egypt in the direction of progressivism and the liberal agenda.
Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, said, “For a sitting U.S. Supreme Court Justice to speak derisively about the Constitution she is sworn to uphold is distressing, to say the least. Justice Ginsburg's comments about our Constitution undermine the Supreme Court as an institution dedicated to the rule of law, as well as our founding document.”
As for Mathew Staver's comment, “For a sitting U.S. Supreme Court Justice to speak derisively about the Constitution she is sworn to uphold is distressing, to say the least.", THAT is an understatement. Justice Ginsberg should be hauled before Congress and read the riot act. That old expression that says, "America, Love It Or Leave It" applies to everyone, including the Supreme Court.
