A Canadian patriot explains American-Middle East failed relations.

Howard Galganov is a journalist from Canada who has an eye for history and a very good memory. In a commentary posted today on his web site Galganov.com titled “Carter – The Shah . . . Obama – Mubarak” Mr. Galganov reminds us of the cast of characters that have all helped shape the results of Islamic extremism that began with America’s first Leftist president Jimmy Carter. Carter was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts at peace in the Middle East that led up to the exile of a staunch American ally The Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, the only Muslim friend America ever had.

The fact that Jimmy Carter tacitly allowed the return of the Ayatollah Khomeini to rule Iran resulted in the entire staff of 52 US citizens working at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran to be taken hostage on November 4, 1979 and held captive for 444 days by Islamic militants.

Jumping forward to present day, Galganov draws an apt comparison with another Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Barack Hussein Obama, who embarked on a trip to Egypt six months after capturing the White House. Speaking at Cairo University on June 4, 2009, Obama quoted the Qur’an in perfect Arabic and heaped unjustified praise on Muslim contributions throughout history. Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, fills in a little unknown detail about that speech by revealing: 

“Mohammed Habib, the deputy leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest opposition group, dismissed Obama's trip and said it would be "useless unless it is preceded by real change in the policies of the U.S. administration toward the Arab and Islamic world." Nevertheless, Obama's administration insisted that at least 10 members of the Muslim Brotherhood be allowed to attend the Cairo speech.”

Quoting Galganov, he writes: 

“Six months into his Presidency, Obama embarked upon his pro Moslem Tour, telling the world how wonderful Islam is, and how many incredible gifts Islam has given to mankind. He also told the world how fortunate America is for having their Moslem community that has made so many contributions to the American condition.

Two years into his Presidency . . . just like Carter, Obama has the same dilemma Carter had, as the people of Egypt demand a complete change in leadership - NOW!”

And the dilemma we are seeing unfold before our eyes on the nightly news is the revolution taking place in Egypt, another staunch American ally in the Middle East, and into the mix is one more Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Mohammed El Baradei. And once again Howard Galganov has his fingers on all the hot keys as he mentions that Baradei was best known when he was: 

“the head of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), the UN agency entrusted to regulate and report on the International use of nuclear energy.

But we know him best, because MOSTLY he was charged with inspecting the nuclear capabilities of countries such as North Korea and Iran.

El Baradei determined that North Korea’s nuclear program, as well as Iran’s program, were of little threat.”

The cast of characters is not yet complete in this tragedy-of-errors soap opera that has thrown the world into a cauldron of Islamic terrorism. For yet another recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, the late Yasser Arafat, Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, the parent organization for Al Qaeda, Hamas and Hezbollah. Yasser Arafat was a nephew of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who happened to be a close friend of Adolf Hitler during World War II. The Muslim Brotherhood was responsible for the assassination of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat in 1981 which led to the current leadership of President Hosni Mubarak. Now there is talk about Mohammed El Baradei becoming the new president of Egypt as soon as the revolution is over. Next up will be a regime change in Turkey, a country that already has a pronounced influence of Islamic extremism. Then the circle will be complete and the last remaining American ally, Israel, will be standing alone surrounded by nations whose bloody hands hold the power of nuclear weapons, Islamic nations salivating over the final demise of their sworn enemy.

UPDATE: JihadWatch had more information today on the connection between Mohammed El Baradei and The Muslim Brotherhood. 

The Muslim Brotherhood is also an international organization. According to a captured internal document made public during the trial of the Hamas-supporting Islamic charity, the Holy Land Foundation, in 2007, its goal in the United States is “eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

Last summer, when ElBaradei floated the possibility of running for President of Egypt, the Brotherhood strongly supported his candidacy. And so now, with the prospect of a Muslim Brotherhood/ElBaradei regime in Egypt closer to reality than ever, the United States faces an ominous replay of the events in Iran in the late 1970s: an authoritarian pro-American regime was toppled by pro-democracy forces that were forthwith co-opted by Islamic supremacists who installed a fanatically anti-American Sharia regime that turned out to be far more repressive and draconian than the one that had been toppled.

UPDATE: The web site The Investigative Project on Terrorism has posted the original Muslim Brotherhood document entitled An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America written by Mohamed Akram in May 19, 1991 that was used as evidence by U. S. prosecutors in the Holy Land Foundation trial in Dallas, Texas in 2008. The document, in Adobe Acrobat PDF format in its original Arabic and English is available here. Here is the English language introduction:

An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America

by Mohamed Akram
May 19, 1991

View the full document

Summary:

This May 1991 memo was written by Mohamed Akram, a.k.a. Mohamed Adlouni, for the Shura Council of the Muslim Brotherhood. In the introductory letter, Akram referenced a "long-term plan…approved and adopted" by the Shura Council in 1987 and proposed this memo as a supplement to that plan and requested that the memo be added to the agenda for an upcoming Council meeting. Appended to the document is a list of all Muslim Brotherhood organizations in North America as of 1991.

Notable quotes:

• Enablement of Islam in North America, meaning: establishing an effective and stable Islamic Movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood which adopts Muslims' causes domestically and globally, and which works to expand the observant Muslim base, aims at unifying and directing Muslims' efforts, presents Islam as a civilization alternative, and supports the global Islamic state, wherever it is.

• In order for Islam and its Movement to become "a part of the homeland" in which it lives, "stable" in its land, "rooted" in the spirits and minds of its people, "enabled" in the live [sic] of its society and has firmly-established "organizations" on which the Islamic structure is built and with which the testimony of civilization is achieved, the Movement must plan and struggle to obtain "the keys" and the tools of this process in carry [sic] out this grand mission as a "Civilization Jihadist" responsibility which lies on the shoulders of Muslims and – on top of them – the Muslim Brotherhood in this country.

• The process of settlement is a "Civilization-Jihadist Proecess" with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim's destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny except for those who chose to slack. But, would the slackers and the Mujahedeen be equal.

Sen. Chuck Schumer shows how ignorant he is about our government.

Not to be outdone by Barack Hussein Obama's ignorance over our country's National Motto, which is "In God We Trust" and NOT 'E Pluribus Unum", as he told an audience in Indonesia, NY Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer went on yesterday's State of the Union program on CNN and stated:

"So I would urge my Republican colleagues, no matter how strongly they feel, you know we have three branches of government, we have a House, we have a Senate, we have a President and all three of us are going to have to come together and give some."

If you happen to have learned anything about the way our Constitution lays out the organization of the Federal government you will know that the three branches of our government are the Legislative Branch, the Executive Branch and the Judiciary Branch. The Legislative Branch consists of the House of Representatives and the Senate, the Executive Branch is the President and the Judiciary is the Federal Court system and the Supreme Court. Of course if you learned about our government in college you might be thinking it was designed to formulate a socialist collective which accounts why so many college graduates become Democrats. Maybe that's why so many New Yorkers voted for this dumb-ass Liberal.

 

Man with firecrackers threatens to blow up mosque.

 

GantDaily.com, a Clearfield, Pennsylvania newspaper web site, carried an informative story about a mentally disturbed Vietnam-war veteran, who suffered from the wartime illness called PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) who was arrested in Dearborn, Michigan after he made threats to blow up a mosque. His weapon of choice was a large quantity of M-80 firecrackers, something much less dangerous than the car bomb found in Times Square, New York that was constructed by a radical Muslim terrorist.

California man charged in threat to blow up Michigan mosque

January 30, 2011 at 4:43 PM by AHN

Dearborn, MI, United States (NewsBahn) – A 63-year-old Vietnam veteran has been charged with threatening to blow up one of America’s largest mosques.

Roger Stockham, of Imperial Beach, CA, was arrested Jan. 24 in the parking lot of the Islamic Center of America. Police found a large quantify of class-C fireworks, including M-80s, in the trunk of his car.

Much to the credit of other mainstream news media, many other stories have correctly identified the contents of Roger Stockham's car as being class-C fireworks which are the favorite but none-the-less illegal 4th of July noise-maker. The classification of class-C fireworks is the outdated category used by the US Dept. of Transportation to describe "common fireworks" available for sale to and use by the general public. The most dangerous consequence for the misuse of M-80s, as shown in this photo from Wikipedia, is premature explosion in the hand of the user causing loss of fingers. Traditionally, M-80s were made from a small red cardboard tube approximately 1½ inches long and 9/16–5/8 inches in diameter, with a Visco fuse coming out of the side, holding approximately 2½–3 grams of pyrotechnic flash powder.

Pretty soon the salient facts of this case will begin to disappear and the only thing we will hear about is another domestic terrorist venting rage against a peaceful religion because of hatred stirred up by racists. Another web site, Gates of Vienna commented on this incident by saying:

So the man is a Vietnam combat vet with PTSD. Normally the MSM would be greatly sympathetic towards the poor fellow. The narrative would describe him as “troubled”, and reporters would examine the negligence of the Veterans’ Administration in allowing one of its charges to deteriorate to this level.

However, to his great misfortune, Roger Stockham messed with the most untouchable special interest group in America: Muslims. This puts him beyond the pale.

Forget “troubled” — enter the “deranged loner”. In the cloud around this news story, expect these additional keywords: militias, Tea Parties, right-wing extremists, Second Amendment, and Sarah Palin.

Wait and see. Tomorrow, when the news bureaus are fully staffed, and all the Homeland Security apparatchiks are behind their desks again, the full-court press will begin.

Gate of Vienna reported that according to the local Dearborn, Michigan newspaper  Press and Guide:

The story was first reported by The Press & Guide Saturday night. Though the incident happened almost a week ago, information wasn’t made public until Saturday when the Council on American-Islamic Relations-Michigan issued a press statement on the incident.

“We thank law enforcement authorities for their quick and professional actions in this troubling incident,” said Dawud Walid, executive director of CAIR’s Michigan chapter. “The increased number of bias incidents targeting American Muslim institutions must be addressed by local, state and national authorities.”

Yeah, wait until the big name commentators start covering this story on the Monday night news.

 

If George W. Bush had done this.....would it still be OK?

 

If George W. Bush had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two decades to accumulate, in just one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 2 years -- so you'll have the next two years to come up with an answer.

Every statement in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.

Credit to the original author, whoever you are.

The only thing I'd like to add is this thought. George W. Bush wasn't perfect, by any means. Barack Hussein Obama just makes him seem perfect by comparison.

The real heroes of the Left: Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, favorite KKK speaker and Nazi Party advocate.

From an email message from Ambassador Alan Keyes, Chairman of the Faith & Freedom Foundation. For more detailed information on the KKK see the story about their connection with the Democratic Party: KKK Terrorist Arm of the Democratic Party on the National Black Republicans web site.

Planned Parenthood has worked hard over the years to whitewash its history and hide the truth. But thanks to US copyright laws and diligent internet activists, the truth is finally widely available and publicly revealed.

Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood and the abortion movement wrote prolifically during her career. However, Planned Parenthood, who owned the copyright to these publications, did everything they could to keep those books and pamphlets out of the public eye. Why, you might ask? The answer is because Margaret Sanger was a notorious eugenicist, favorite KKK speaker and Nazi advocate (click the picture to see a larger view) who believed that "the weak, the poor and the blacks were little more than weeds who needed to be uprooted and/or sterilized to further the good of mankind." Sounds harsh, doesn’t it? But that was exactly her point in “The Pivot of Civilization” published in 1922. Thankfully, the copyright on Sanger’s works have finally expired, and Planned Parenthood can no longer hide their racist roots. Pro-Life truth tellers are working hard to make scanned copies of Sanger’s unedited works available on the internet in an effort to expose Sanger, and the abortion industry’s war on blacks. Consider this quote from Sanger’s evil diatribe “What Every Girl Should Know,” many versions of which she publicly delivered and which she published in 1920:

“…the Aboriginal Australian, the lowest known species of the human family, just a step higher than the chimpanzee in brain development, has so little sexual control that police authority alone prevents him from obtaining sexual satisfaction on the streets.” Margaret Sanger, “What Every Girl Should Know” 1920, pg. 47 (emphasis added).

Or this quote, written in a 1939 letter to a Dr. Clarence Gamble who was helping her establish her sterilization initiative called “The Negro Project” - “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro Population”

Ancient history? Think again. Consider these facts as reported by the Guttmacher Institute, a PRO-ABORTION think tank:

•  Minority women constitute only 13% of the 15-44 year old female population, but receive 36% of all abortions.
•  Black women are 5 times as likely as whites to get an abortion
• On average, 1,876 black babies are aborted every day in the US
• 16 million black babies have been aborted since 1973. Since the number of current living American blacks is 36 million, this represents an over 30% reduction in the black American population. 
•   A 2004 Center for Disease Control report showed nearly half of all pregnancies among black women end in abortion.

If destruction of the black population isn’t the aim of the abortion industry; why are 94% of abortion clinics located in urban black neighborhoods?This figure comes directly from former Planned Parenthood board member Dr. LaVerne Tolbert.

Do modern, educated Americans still believe in eugenics and eliminating “undesirables? Apparently so, if they think like Justice Ginsburg... "Frankly I had thought that at that time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of." - Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in “The Place of Women on the Court” New York Times 7-2-2009 AND YOU ARE PAYING FOR THE EXTERMINATION! Planned Parenthood alone receives over $300 Million in taxpayer dollars every single year, which enables PP to continue building nearly all their abortion factories in poor black neighborhoods. Clearly, Margaret Sanger’s influence still reigns at the International Planned Parenthood Council, where her grandson, Alexander Sanger heads the corporation to this day.

Sharia Law and the Qur'an: Islamic scholars approve of prepubescent sex with a child.

 

The lead to this article originated with JihadWatch but all of the material used here was verified from within the actual sources as identified. I am going to extra lengths to write about what may be a very controversial subject and have taken every precaution to present a factual background because in America, having sex with a child is one of the most deplorable acts imaginable. Before getting into the actual subject here are some references as to what a "Fatwa" is and how it applies to Sharia Law and the Qur'an.

The authoritative online encyclopedia Wikipedia defines a "Fatwa" as this: A fatwā (Arabic: فتوى‎; plural fatāwā Arabic: فتاوى‎) in the Islamic faith is a religious opinion concerning Islamic law issued by an Islamic scholar.

According to the authoritative Islamic web site Islamopedia Online a "fatwa" is a legal opinion issued by an Islamic scholar. This web site defines a "Fatwa" as follows:

Here you will find fatwas and opinions on contemporary social issues.  A fatwa is a religious "responsa" given by a religious authority or group of authorities who are commissioned to issue guiding legal opinions.  A fatwa can be a response to a question asked by an individual or a response to a contemporary societal concern.  Religious opinions may also be articulated by persons who do not hold formal credentials for issuing fatwas, and such opinions can still be influential because of the legitimacy of the religious authority or issuing body.

The web site Translating Jihad  has discovered that an Islamic scholar issued a Fatwa that answers the question about the permissibility of Muslims having sex with prepubescent girls. The subject is necessary because it has been found that some courts in America have begun to recognize that Muslims who hold a  strong belief in their faith and consider following the principles of Sharia Law as a higher authority than U.S. Civil Law have legal defenses against criminal charges brought against them.

Fatwa: "It Is Permissible to Have Sexual Intercourse with a Prepubescent Girl"

This is another fatwa from IslamOnline.net, which again is the sixth most popular Islamic website on the internet, according to Wikipedia. As the author of this fatwa points out, this ruling is entirely based on the Qur'an and the example of the prophet, who is considered the perfect example for Muslims in all ages. How many young girls have been and continue to be abused due to Muhammad's perverse actions in having sex with a nine-year-old, which now must be made permissible for all Muslims? (See the original Arabic here.)

Translating Jihad links their sources to the Islamic web site IslamOnline.net  that has the original Arabic text of this Fatwa. Rather than ask anyone to accept the word on faith that this is an accurate report, I used the online services of Google Translate to give me the English translation. Here is a screen shot of the Google Translate page. To use this feature all you need is to copy the foreign language text from the source and paste it into the translate box, then identify the source language.

Title: Is it permissible to restrict the age at which girls can marry?

Submitted by: Ahmad

Date: 24 Dec 2010

Question: What is your opinion of the calls from more than one Islamic country to prohibit girls from marrying before the age of eighteen? Which is nearest to Islam--these calls or not specifying a certain age for marriage the nearest to Islam? Is it correct that Islamic scholars permit the father to marry off his young daughter (I mean, a child)?

Answer: In the name of God, praise to God, and prayers and peace be upon the prophet of God, etc.

Scholars very nearly agree that it is the right of the father to marry off his young, immature daughter. This is owing to his authority over her, for as he is responsible for directing her and providing for her, he is also responsible for doing what he believes is in her interest on the issue of marriage.

Ibn Qudama in al-Mughni said:  "No one but the father can compel a woman, or marry off a young girl, whether a grandfather or otherwise." This was spoken of by Malik, Abu-'Ubayd al-Thawri, and Ibn Abu-Layli. This was also spoken of by al-Shafi'i, except he said it of the grandfather, making him like the father, because he has the authority of a parent, including to compel her like the father.

Al-Hasan, 'Umar Ibn-'Abd-al-'Aziz, Tawus, Qatada, Ibn-Shirama, al-Awza'i, and Abu-Hanifa said: "No one but the father can marry off a young girl; but she has the choice if she has matured." All of them but Abu-Hanifa said: "None but the father can marry two children, for they have the choice if they have matured."

It is important for us to understand that it is not a duty for a father to give his young girl in marriage, but it is restricted to her best-interest. For it is not permissible unless he believes that her best-interest requires it, and God is his judge on that.

[...]

The Noble Qur'an has also mentioned the waiting period [i.e. for a divorced wife to remarry] for the wife who has not yet menstruated, saying: "And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated" [Qur'an 65:4]. Since this is not negated later, we can take from this verse that it is permissible to have sexual intercourse with a prepubescent girl. The Qur'an is not like the books of jurisprudence which mention what the implications of things are, even if they are prohibited. It is true that the prophet (PBUH) entered into a marriage contract with A'isha when she was six years old, however he did not have sex with her until she was nine years old, according to al-Bukhari. [...]

The original Arabic text is long and quite rambling and the Google Translation is not as good but the message is perfectly clear. Muslims are encouraged to follow the example of their Prophet Muhammad and in doing so have adopted a view of morality that is totally alien to Western Culture.

The threat of Rising Worldwide Jihad

January 28,2011

Rising Worldwide Jihad
by Guy Rodgers, Excecutive Director

A recent column by Jeffrey Kuhner in The Washington Times reported the following:
     
    * “The Vatican estimates that from Egypt to Iran there are just 17 million Christians left.” Why? Persecution by Muslims.
    * “Nearly two-thirds of the 500,000 Christians in Baghdad have fled or been killed.” Why? Persecution by Muslims.

Other reports that have come across my desk in recent weeks report increased Islamic terror activity in Sweden. Thousands of Hindus have fled Pakistan’s Sind province due to increased persecution by Muslims.

While the church bombing in Egypt received some worldwide press, none of these developments I refer to above have received much worldwide attention.

Meanwhile, after Pakistani’s Punjab governor Salman Taseer was assassinated because he opposed Pakistan’s anti-blasphemy laws, over 500 Muslim clerics defended the actions of the murderer. What’s more, when Pope Benedict XVI urged Pakistan to repeal these laws, the leader of the nation’s most powerful Islamic party declared “The Pope’s statement is an insult to Muslims across the world.”

Crime perpetrated by Muslims against non-Muslims throughout Europe is accelerating. Terrorist threats are on the rise. Counterterrorism forces in Great Britain are tracking some 30,000 potential Islamic terrorist suspects in that country alone. Jews are fleeing Europe in response to increased persecution.

All of this is occurring against the backdrop of decades of appeasement and accommodation extended by European governments to militant Muslims.

Lebanon’s government was recently toppled by Hezbollah. Now, for all practical purposes, Hezbollah is in control of Lebanon.

Throughout history Islamic jihad has ebbed and flowed – but it has never completely ended. Today we are witnessing an emboldened and empowered worldwide jihad the likes of which has not been seen since before the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

In the face of this reality Rep. Bennie Thompson criticizes Rep. Peter King’s plan for hearings on Muslim radicalization, foolishly arguing that Muslim radicalization shouldn’t be singled out when we have mass shootings like the one recently in Tucson.

Organizations like CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, insist that terror and violence around the world, perpetrated by Muslims, has nothing to do with any doctrines of Islam. This in spite of the fact that since 9/11 over 17,000 incidents of Islamic terror have been documented worldwide. (Note: see the counter in the left-hand margin from The Religion of Peace.com) CAIR’s contentions would be laughable if this weren’t so tragic.

Over the past two years we saw more homegrown terrorists arrested than in the previous eight years since 9/11. Yet the Obama administration can’t even bring itself to use terms like “jihad” and “radical Islam” in its assessment of this worldwide threat.

The good news is the 2010 elections elevated Members of Congress like Peter King to chairmanships of key committees. Many of the new freshman class are more aware of the threat of radical Islam – and more willing to define it as such. More Americans than ever have heard of sharia law.

While issues like jobs, the economy, and exploding federal deficits dominate the headlines and are the top concerns of most Americans, we who understand the seriousness of the threat of rising worldwide jihad must continue to be the voices of warning to America. We must be the modern-day Paul Revere’s, who sound the alarm while most people don’t see what’s coming. We must connect the dots so that people understand why we are threatened by both cultural and violent jihad.

Preaching to the choir about the threat of Islam.

"I can't understand whether you're a kafir trying to make people hate Islam with your commentaries or whether you're a Muslim trying to make people read the Quraan"

So begins an article posted today on Jihad Watch about another piece of hate mail they received from a writer in Syria. In my blog, Conscience of a Conservative, I am most certainly, not, one of the great cooks that stir the pot. I am more like the janitor that sweeps the kitchen floor who happens to write once in awhile about the dangers of Islam. http://oldironsides-thesilentmajority.blogspot.com/2011/01/cutting-off-your-nose-to-spite-your.html But I have often wondered about something similar to what this writer said: "I can't understand whether you're a kafir trying to make people hate Islam with your commentaries or whether you're a Muslim trying to make people read the Quraan." Here is my reason.

We all know of the violent passages in the Qur'an where Muhammad commands his followers to hate the unbelievers and wage war on them. We know this as well as the Muslim clerics do who use those same verses to remind their moderate followers of their obligation to Jihad. So my greatest concern is do we ever "try to make people read the Qur'an?" and in doing so remind some moderate Muslims of the same thing their radical clerics remind them of?

The Qur'an is the most violent book of hatred in use by any religion in the world. Hopefully, the only people we convince to read it are non-Muslims who need to be educated in the truth. We don't need to point out to Muslims that their prophet has commanded them to hate us, kill us and wage war on us.


   

ABC World News alters sound track admission about Islamic militants in Russia

ABC News has altered the sound track commentary on their web site of the broadcast report last night, 1-24-2011, about who was responsible for the Domodedovo airport bombing in Moscow.

On the 1-24-2011 show on ABC World News with Diane Sawyer of last night's coverage of the Russian Domodedovo airport bombing, a live feed has their reporter Jim Schutto doing a voiceover in which he said the bombing was the caused by Islamic militants fighting to create an Islamic nation in Russia. I went to the ABC News web site today to transcribe the exact quote from that broadcast but found that someone has altered the tape. Go to this link to see it here.

Voiceover: Jim Schutto reporting.
"Tonight Russian authorities blame a single suicide bomber carrying 6 pounds of explosives packed with nuts and bolts shrapnel to increase the death toll. Suspicion immediately fell on militants fighting from Russia’s southern border fighting for +++++++"

Just at the point after the word "for" the audio is erased and the video turns to hash. Since I watched this show live it is apparent that ABC News is trying to cover up the admission made by their own reporter that the bombing was caused by Muslims fighting to turn part of the country into an Islamic nation.

Meanwhile, ABC News in Australia gave a more complete picture of the Islamic terrorist events in Russia along with some background history.

ABC News Australia

“At least 35 people have been killed and more than 150 injured in a bomb blast at Moscow’s busiest airport." ... "Last March, two female suicide bombers from the volatile north Caucuses region killed 40 people on the Moscow Metro and in November 2009 a bomb ripped through an express train killing 27 people. In all cases Islamic militants from the Caucasus who have been fighting the Kremlin were blamed for the attacks. They are also the prime suspects in this bombing.”

 

So why can't American's get the whole, unedited picture of these acts of terrorism? Why must all mention of Muslims and Islam get erased from our news coverage? The answer is simple: the left wing news media is covering it up.  The original comments by ABC News reporter Jim Schutto is right on target, the Muslims in Russia are fighting to create an Islamic Republic on Russian soil, but he probably wasn't reading from a script. Maybe someone will post the whole, unedited video on YouTube.

   

Another example of news media coverup.

In the Crosshairs
Mike Piccione, Editor

Hey Gunners,

Prince George's County in Maryland borders Washington, DC. Democrats dominate the county and 88.87% of the residents voted for Obama. What you did not hear in the news was that there were 13 shootings in the first 13 days of this year in PG County. Why not? While the press is eager to paint Jared Loughner, the Arizona gunman, as the face of conservative talk radio and associate him to Republicans they completely ignored the murder spree in an area dominated by Democrats. Why isn't the press painting the picture of this overwhelmingly Democratic county as the face of today's Democrat - violent and out of control? Can we assume that if 90% of the people vote Democrat that there is the highest probability that those responsible for this killing spree are Obama supporters? What would the mainstream media say if this occurred in a county that was overwhelmingly Republican? They would say it was fueled by Republican hate. I guess the murder mess in a Democratic stronghold that borders our Nation's Capital needs to be ignored.

   

Another example of “interfaith dialogue” with Muslims.

    

The following was received from ACT For America.

Muslims of the Americas’ New Target: Gullible Christians
Posted By Ryan Mauro On January 23, 2011

On Saturday, January 8, 2001, a nice-sounding organization called the United Muslim Christian Forum ^[1] (UMC) held an event in Binghamton, New York, for members of both faiths to “share, in unity, their love and admiration for Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him).” Gullible Christians and officials have supported the event, unaware or unconcerned that it is a front for the anti-Semitic extremist group Muslims of the Americas ^[2] (MOA) and its leader in Pakistan, Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani.

There is no excuse for those who have embraced the UMC, as its website says it was founded by Sheikh Gilani and no effort is made to disguise UMC’s status as an MOA front. The UMC website also spouts the same ideology. At a 2008 event, the leadership proclaimed ^[3] that “…we will no longer be duped or manipulated by a ‘hidden hand’ into fighting, or going to war with each other.” The write-up on the event, which claims 3000 Muslims and Christians attended, then argues that the 9/11 attacks were an “inside job” by the U.S., UK, Israel and international bankers. It describes the attacks as “Stage One of getting the Western world, on behalf of the Jews, to go to war with the Arab world.”

The UMC’s website also carries a letter ^[4] to President Obama asking him to stop an anti-Muslim conspiracy within the United States. It warns of a “hate campaign, within our own borders, against the American Muslims, [that] MUST come to an end. This campaign is an integral part of the nefarious scheme to bring this nation to its knees by those who have no love for humanity.”

The UMC is an affiliate of the MOA, whose extremism is thinly concealed and well-documented. Sheikh Gilani has called ^[2] Jews an “example of human Satans.” Even his outreach to Christians is based on anti-Semitism, as he says that “the Jews tried to murder Jesus, son of Mary.” Sheikh Gilani and MOA, like their UMC, blame a Satanist-Zionist conspiracy for 9/11 and not Osama bin Laden, whom Gilani describes ^[5] as a “Saudi activist.”

In 2009, the Christian Action Network ^[6] released a film about the use of the MOA’s compounds, some of which are dozens of acres large, for guerrilla warfare instruction. Since then, a law enforcement source has given me a secret MOA videotape ^[7] showing female members in military attire receiving paramilitary training that included simulated combat with knives and swords and firing guns into a lake at the group’s “Islamberg” headquarters in Hancock, New York. We have also received videotape with the sound of gunfire coming from the MOA’s compound in York County, South Carolina. This is the group that runs UMC.

The spokesman claims that at least 500 people attended this month’s event, including Dr. Diane O’Heron of Broome Community College and a representative of Binghamton Mayor Matthew T. Ryan who said ^[8] “events like these enrich our community.” Mayor Ryan has also spoken at UMC events where and he is seen on the group’s website holding their sign. A local news report states ^[8] that members from the 22 MOA “villages” around the country and even as far away as Canada, Pakistan, and Venezuela came to the event.

One of the speakers at the January 8 event was Dr. Ali Mazrui ^[9], director of Binghamton University’s Institute of Global Cultural Studies. He said in 2002 that “there is … suspicion that some members of the Bush administration in collusion with Israel are more than ready to plunge the Middle East into turmoil in the hope that the final outcome would be to the territorial advantage of Israel and the strategic advantage of the United States. All this is part of the emerging sadism of the United States, a readiness to hurt others abroad.”

Dr. Mazrui also wrote an article in April 2002 titled “Is Israel a Threat to American Democracy?” in which he says that “Israeli neo-Nazism” and “militarism” is what caused the creation of Hamas, al-Qaeda, and other terrorist groups. He accuses Israel of committing “ethnic cleansing” and being the “most effective war machine since Nazi Germany.”

The UMC is just another trick used by MOA to present itself as a moderate group with the help of incredibly naïve officials. In August 2008, the New York State Police and FBI gave awards ^[10] to members of the MOA’s Muslim Scouts of America in Islamberg. In 2005, an FBI Special Agent sent ^[11] them a note of appreciation, and in the previous year, FBI Special Agent in Charge Leslie Wieser spoke ^[12] at the graduation ceremony for the scouts at the York County site. Also in attendance were Mayor Eddie Lee, the York County sheriff, and three other FBI Special Agents.

The inclusion of Dr. Mazrui, the publicly available information about MOA, and the extremist rhetoric readily available on the UMC’s website should have been enough to stop any public official, especially Mayor Ryan, from supporting the event. Any official involved with this group is guilty of negligence of an unthinkable magnitude. The community of Binghamton and the surrounding areas need to let Mayor Ryan and other officials know that their participation in the UMC’s events is unacceptable.

The Third Jihad, Radical Islam's Vision For America.

If you are as concerned as I am about the spread of Islamic influence in America, the removal of every trace of our Judeo-Christian heritage from our public life, the threats to our safety from homegrown Muslim terrorists, the insidious substitution in our courtrooms of Islamic Sharia Law for our Civil Law, then you must watch the following four video excerpts from the much-longer film called The Third Jihad that describes what our future could become if Islam becomes the dominant religion in America. And please visit the web site that produced this film and buy a copy for yourself. And look for two other revealing films, "Obsession" and "Iranium" while you are there.

The Third Jihad, the newest offering from the producers of the captivating documentary film, Obsession, explores the existence of radical Islam in America and the emerging risk that this “homegrown jihad” poses to national security, western liberties and the “American way of life.”

The film, which is narrated by devout Muslim American Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, opens with the following statement: “This is not a film about Islam. It is about the threat of radical Islam. Only a small percentage of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims are radical. This film is about them.”

In 72 minutes, the film reveals that radical Islamists driven by a religiously motivated rejection of western values cultures and religion are engaging in a multifaceted strategy to overcome the western world. In contrast to the use of “violent jihad” and terror to instill fear in “non-believers,” The Third Jihad introduces the concept of “cultural jihad” as a means to infiltrate and undermine our society from within.

Now some Muslims are trying to rewrite history while atheists attempt to eliminate religion.

Some apologists say that Islam is a religion of peace that has been unfairly hijacked by radicals. Others point out that judging by the words in the Koran itself, Islam is a radical religion and has nothing to do with peace. Some Islamic scholars like to claim that Muslims have made vast contributions to the world in the fields of science and art and literature. Others say that Islam falsely lays claim to accomplishments belonging to cultures subjugated through their conquests. Now a spokesman for the Ground Zero Mosque, Imam Abdallah Adhami has attempted to lay claim that Moses, one of the earliest leaders of the Jewish religion, the man who brought God's Ten Commandments down from Mount Sinai, was a Muslim, thus attempting to rewrite another piece of history. This latest boast comes from Imam Abdallah Adhami who, as revealed by Pamela Geller from Atlas Shrugs, was a character witness in the trial of convicted terror plotter Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Imam Adhami was recently appointed to head the proposed Cordoba House/Park 51mosque near the site of the World Trade Center after the previous mosque leader Imam Feisal A. Rauf became immersed in scandals over slumlord properties he owned in New Jersey. It should also be mentioned that the World Trade Center was destroyed in an attack by Islamic terrorists waging Jihad on America in the name of Allah on 9-11-2001.

As another web site, WorldNet Daily News, writes that "Imam Adhami claimed in a lecture he gave in 2008 that Muslims have "more of a right" than Jews to the biblical prophet Moses, declared the Imam who has become the new face of the proposed Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero in New York City."

False prophets and charlatans are never deterred by facts when they are boasting about undeserved claims to glory. Before the birth of Jesus Christ there were no Christians but there were Jews, Hebrews and Israelites. The Isrealites existed as long ago as 1350 years before Christ was born and during this time Moses was one of their first leaders. More importantly, in the context of this argument being advanced by some radical Muslims trying to rewrite history, what they fail to acknowledge is that before the death of their Prophet Mohammad in the year 632 A.D. there were also no Muslims because Mohammad started the religion of Islam, himself.

As a side note something must also be said about the reason we use the abbreviation "A.D." in our dates because of a concerted effort now underway to discontinue its use. The internationally accepted civil calendar that we now use is called the Gregorian Calendar. It replaced the Julian Calendar in order to correct erroneous elements that existed from the days of the Roman Empire. It was through the influence of Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, for whom the calendar is named, that gave us this more accurate present-day Gregorian calendar.

The effort to replace A.D. after our dates has already begun. "A.D." stands for the Latin term "Anno Domini" which means "In the year of our Lord" and begins on the year Christ was born. Several web sites, Wikipedia in particular, have started using the term "C.E." after dates which means "Common Era" and "B.C.E." for “Before Common Era” to eliminate the reference to Jesus Christ. This may be just another stupid example of trying to be politically correct or it may be an atheist plot to erase all recognition of religion from our culture. Either way it should be vigorously opposed. While it may be impossible for atheists to challenge the fact that the year 2011 A.D. is two-thousand and eleven years after the birth of Christ, they can, by repetition, divert the acknowledgment away from this fact.


    

What we need is a little more humor.

  

Barack Hussein Obama has really done wonders for our country. In two years he has awakened an entire nation and rejuvenated the Republican Party and for that reason I am posting two jokes to bring some smiles to everyone's faces.

A doctor from Israel says: "In Israel the medicine is so advanced that we cut off a man's testicles; we put them  into another man, and in 6 weeks he is looking for work."

The German doctor comments: "That's  nothing, in Germany we take part of the brain out  of a person; we put it into another person's head, and in 4 weeks he is looking  for work."

A Russian doctor says: "That's nothing  either. In Russia we take out half of the heart  from a person; we put it into another person's chest, and in 2 weeks he is  looking for work."

The U.S. doctor answers immediately: "That's nothing  my colleagues, you are way behind us....in the USA (about 2 year ago) we grabbed a person From Kenya with no brains, no heart, and  no balls....we made him President of the United States ,  and now....... the whole country is looking  for work !!!!!!"

    

 

John McCain called Barack Hussein Obama a Patriot but serious questions remain about both.

Senator John McCain is already known as one of the worst RINOs in the Republican Party but the one attribute that seems to keep getting him reelected, his status as a Vietnam war hero, may be just as fake as his Republican credentials. Now McCain, the person some fellow veterans have called a traitor and an enemy collaborator, has once again jumped in to defend our Marxist/Socialist leader by calling Barack Hussein Obama a “Patriot”. If Barack Hussein Obama is a 'Patriot' he must be the same variety as John McCain and Hanoi Jane Fonda.

McCain’s admiration for Obama first became evident during a Town Hall meeting in Lakeville, Minnesota during the 2008 presidential campaign, McCain showed his Republican audience the depths of his ignorance for which he was soundly booed when he said he respected Obama for his accomplishments and considered him a decent family man. As reported by Amie Parnes in Ben Smith’s column on Politico on October 10, 2008:

A man in the audience stood up and told McCain he's "scared" of an Obama presidency and who he'd select for the Supreme Court.

"I have to tell you. Sen. Obama is a decent person and a person you don't have to be scared of as president of the United States," McCain said as the crowd booed and shouted "Come on, John!"

Well, the facts are in and there is no need for more proof about who Obama appointed to the Supreme Court. He has added two of the most liberal women in politics and one of them, Elana Kagan, is even being accused of falsifying evidence while representing Obama’s White House as Solicitor General in a case she brought before the Supreme Court. And another, Sonya Sotomayor, who as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York was an activist judge who liberally interpreted the law based on her concept of social issues.

But no one will ever get a chance to resubmit that original question to John McCain about fearing Obama court appointees and pin him down on the answer he gave two years ago, so moving on to the subject of patriotism its time to burst a few bubbles about the war hero from Arizona because it seems that John McCain is a fake. According to the opinions expressed below the injuries McCain received that left him with restricted arm movement were the results of his ejecting from his aircraft and being stabbed with bayonets during his capture not as a prisoner of war. Here are some comments from military veterans and respected Republicans about John McCain’s service in Vietnam and his treatment of POW/MIA supporters while in Congress. These comments were originally posted on the web site mccainbetrayspows.com

Whenever criticism is lodged against Sen. John McCain's military record or his post-war involvement with the POW/MIA issue, many are quick to dismiss the detractors as liberals, anti-American, anti-military and many more superlatives that would fill this page.

Such arguments are easily dismissed here because the "detractors" featured on this page are mostly respected, conservative Republicans and many are military veterans with stellar service records.

None of these prominent Americans can be off-handedly dismissed by anyone who considers him/herself to be intelligent and judicious individuals.

One characteristic all of these people have in common is their dedication to serving the cause of America's Prisoners-of-War and Missing-in-Action.

    McCain had roughly 20 hours in combat.  Since McCain got 28 medals that’s equal to about a medal-and-a-half for each hour he spent in combat. There were infantry guys -- grunts on the ground -- who had more than 7,000 hours in combat and I can tell you that there were times and situations where I’m sure a prison cell would have looked pretty good to them by comparison. The question really is how many guys got that number of medals for NOT being shot down.

   For years, McCain has been an unchecked master at manipulating an overly friendly and biased news media. The former POW turned Congressman, turned U.S. Senator, has managed to gloss over his failures as a pilot and his collaborations with the enemy to become America’s POW-hero presidential candidate.

    "McCain is the classic opportunist--he's always reaching for attention and glory. Other POWs won't even sit at the same table with him.  There's evidence, evidence, evidence and McCain was adamant about shutting down anything to do with recovering POWs.

Col. Hopper posted a lengthy testimony against John McCain on his own web site before he died which should be read in its entirety in order to get the full picture. Col. Earl P.

John McCain: Privileged 'War Hero', Liar, Collaborator, Traitor

The impression that McCain and the media has attempted to portray of McCain's 5 ½  years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam is about as far from the truth that one could possible go. McCain, from the first moments of his capture, had behaved as a COLLABORATOR and propaganda tool for his North Vietnamese captors. McCain had engaged in no less than 30, and likely as many as 38 anti-American propaganda broadcasts for Radio Hanoi during the period of his captivity. Far from the image of a dedicated American "hero" sweating it out in a North Vietnamese prisoner's "hotbox" for 5 ½  years, McCain was often given "special" treatment by his captors, who were fully aware of his father's and grandfather's 4 star admiral positions with the Navy. No one has ever witnessed McCain's supposed "torture" at the hands of his jailers. The consensus opinion of other POWs in McCain's camps was that McCain was NEVER tortured by the North Vietnamese. McCain's disgraceful and wholly reprehensible conduct (along with John Kerry) during the 1991-93 Senate Committee on POW/MIAs leaves no doubt that McCain is a traitor to this country and its veterans and especially to the families of POWs and MIAs. ..Ken Adachi].

Another revealing story about John McCain's days as a POW in North Vietnam and his life after returning home also surfaced during the 2008 presidential campaign. This was posted on another veterans web site. Here is the complete story as it was posted on The U.S. Veteran Dispatch.

Politicizing the Congressional Medal of Honor

Col. Bud Day, his Medal of Honor and the McCain campaign's abuse of our nation's highest award for valor.
By Ted Sampley
U.S. Veteran Dispatch
May 09, 2008

Former Air Force colonel and Medal of Honor recipient George "Bud" Day, 83, has been a close friend of presidential candidate John McCain since 1967 when they shared a cell for 3 months in a Vietnamese POW camp.

For years, Day has been waving his Medal of Honor at political events in support of McCain's political ambitions. His politicizing of our highest military award for valor has bothered me for as many years. When I finally took a look at his Medal of Honor Citation, some discrepancies stood out like festering thumb splinter.

Day, who claims to be the most decorated serviceman since Gen. Douglas MacArthur with more than 70 medals including the Medal of Honor, is McCain's leading frontman and apologist.

North Vietnamese gunners shot Day down Aug. 26, 1967, two months before they shot Navy pilot McCain's bomber out of the sky on Oct. 26.

When Day ejected from his crippled F-!00, he broke his right arm in three places when he struck the side of the cockpit. He also sustained eye, leg and back injuries.

Although Day and McCain suffered similar injuries, they had unique POW experiences. Day claims he escaped after being "hung upside down and severely tortured for two days." He said that despite being "barefooted, severely crippled, disoriented, vomiting blood" and with no equilibrium, he outran enemy soldiers and their tracking dogs for two days before being captured again. Day said he managed to escape again outrunning the enemy and their dogs for nearly two weeks before he was captured a third and final time.

Day was released after five years and seven months as a North Vietnamese prisoner on Mar. 14, 1973. Three years later, President Gerald Ford awarded Day the Medal of Honor citing his personal bravery "above and beyond the call of duty" while a captive in North Vietnam.

McCain's right arm was broken in three places and his left arm and right knee were fractured when he ejected.

He says that on his fourth day of captivity, he was so sure he was going to die if he did not get special medical treatment, he offered the communists "military information" in exchange for taking him to a hospital.

After being told that McCain's father and grandfather were famous high-ranking American admirals, the Vietnamese rushed the seriously injured McCain to Gai Lam military hospital (U.S. government documents), a medical facility normally unavailable to treat U.S. POWs. McCain's father, Adm. John McCain, was later appointed commander of all U.S. forces fighting in Vietnam. His grandfather was a famous WWII admiral.

Because the communists believed McCain was from "royal family," they considered him a "crown prince" who would when finally released return to the United States to an important military or government job.

While being treated in the hospital, McCain made a series of propaganda statements for the communist including at least one television interview during which he gave specific "military information" pertaining to his mission. McCain was quoted in the communist press describing the number of aircraft in his flight, information about rescue ships and the order of which his attack was supposed to take place.

In December, six weeks after he was shot down, the Vietnamese transferred McCain from the hospital to a POW camp called "The Plantation" and into the hands of Day and Air Force Major Norris Overly.

Day and Overly helped nurse McCain until he was eventually able to walk by himself. Day spent about three months with McCain before he was moved to another camp.

McCain was released from captivity on March 14, 1973 after spending 5 ½ years as a POW. He returned to the United States to his wife Carol and children.

McCain was awarded a Silver Star Medal for resisting "extreme mental and physical cruelties" inflicted upon him by his captors from late October to early December 1967, the exact time frame during which McCain was in the hospital making propaganda statements for the enemy in exchange for medical treatment.

During their stay in POW camps, Day and McCain developed a close personal (and now political) friendship which continued after they were released in 1973.

In January 1980, soon after McCain met Cindy Hensley, a former cheerleader whose family owned one of the country's largest Anheuser-Busch distributorship, it was Day, then a Fort Walton Beach attorney, who McCain called on to file divorce papers against his wife Carol.

While McCain was imprisoned, Carol was in an auto wreck (Christmas Eve 1969). She was thrown through her car's windshield and left permanently crippled. Despite her injures, she refused to allow her POW husband to be notified about her condition, fearing that such news would not be good for him while he was being held prisoner.

When McCain returned to the United States in 1973 after more than five years as a prisoner of war, he found his wife was a different person. The accident "left her 4 inches shorter"  (The Nightingale's Song, by Robert Timberg) and on crutches, and she had gained a good deal of weight.

McCain wasted no time before he was out on the town partying. While Executive Officer and later as Squadron Commander of a Navy training unit, McCain used his authority to arrange frequent flights that allowed him to carouse with female subordinates and "engage in extramarital affairs" (The Nightingale's Song, by Robert Timberg).

McCain eventually met Hensley, 17 years his junior, and fell in love at first sight.

Day used the soft touch of his friendship with Carol to obtain an uncontested divorce from her in Florida on April 2, 1980. McCain promptly married Hensley on May 17, 1980. Today, Cindy Hensley McCain is said to be worth 100 million dollars.

When McCain set out to help Hanoi by discrediting POW/MIA families, former POWs and veterans who were demanding no normalized trade or diplomatic relations with Vietnam until Hanoi accounted for the POWs known to have been alive in captivity, but never released, Day, unhesitatingly answered the call.

In a Jan. 24, 2000 letter to conservative columnist Paul Weyrich, Day described POW/MIA activists as "a cottage industry of nut cases and 'Bring them Home' frauds that victimized POW families and the public after we [U.S. prisoners of war] were released from Vietnam." Day signed off in the letter with "George 'Bud' Day, Medal of Honor, POW 1967-1973."

Day was upset over a column in which Weyrick quoted Col. Earl Hopper, Ret., a former chairman of the board of the National League of Families, criticizing McCain for "never turning a finger to help any of the [POW-MIA] families."

Hopper, a Vietnam veteran and father of MIA Lt. Col. Earl P. Hopper, Jr., lost over North Vietnam in 1968, contends that at a minimum, 66 men were left behind when McCain and the other POWs were released in 1973.

Former N.C. Congressman Bill Hendon and MIA daughter, Elizabeth Stewart put the number much higher in their book "An Enormous Crime." Hopper says that McCain undermined every effort to get the federal government to acknowledge that men were left behind.

Here are the names of some returned POWs Day slandered with his "Bring them Home frauds" remarks: Navy Captain Eugene "Red" McDaniel, Col. Ted Guy (deceased), Ltc Col. Nick Rowe (deceased), Msg. Daniel L. Pitzer (deceased), Maj. Mark Smith, Mike Benge, Larry Stark and Maj. John Parcels.

During that same period, Day emailed me a mean spirited letter in response to articles I had written questioning McCain's behavior while a prisoner. He called me a lair and falsely claimed that it was impossible for McCain to have collaborated with the enemy because he knew where McCain was and what he was doing during the entire 5 ½ years McCain was held POW. That was an impossible feat since McCain claims he spent most of his time being tortured in solitary confinement away from other U.S. POWs.

Recently, Day and his Medal of Honor have been thrust to the front of McCain's campaign again, this time to deflect criticism of McCain and give testimony about the "strength of McCain's character."

Just before the South Carolina primary, I released a flier to the South Carolina press for Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain that offered specific information detailing McCain's collaborations with the enemy. McCain's campaign responded immediately, parading Day in front of the press introducing him as "a famously heroic Medal of Honor winner who also shared a cell with McCain."

On cue, Day stepped before the cameras and declared the flier "the most outrageous f--king lie I've ever heard." Day claims that McCain's collaborations with the enemy were technically not violations of the Military Code of Conduct.

Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for actions on Jan. 6, 1968, near Chu Lai, South Vietnam said the following of the Medal of Honor: "I was awarded the Medal of Honor, but my fellow soldiers who supported me in the actions and took the time to write it up earned it. I wear it for them. They own my medals. And every Medal of Honor recipient and hero I know believes as I do. Medals should be a sign of patriotism, a symbol of sacrifice, support and defense of a great nation. The highest form of patriotism is service to our youth; heroes also wear their medal for them to signal the importance of courage. Heroes do not use their medals for personal political gain. As I said they are not theirs to use."

During the 2004 election, Day used his Medal of Honor to weigh in on the controversy surrounding presidential candidate John Kerry's military service and medals. Day was very critical of Kerry declaring that by bringing up his Vietnam service Kerry had "opened up his character as a war hero" for criticism. Day said, "Kerry's character is not only fair game, it is the primary issue."

Day has habitably and fragrantly politicized his Medal of Honor. By using it's awe-inspiring prestige as authorization to attack the credibility of other POWs, veterans and POW/MIA family members, he has "opened up his character as a war hero" to questions about the award of his Medal of Honor.

The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration awarded by the United States government. It is awarded by the President in the name of Congress to a military person who distinguishes himself or herself significantly by gallantry above and beyond the call of duty while engaged against an enemy of the United States.

The deed performed must have been one of personal bravery or self-sacrifice so outstanding as to clearly distinguish the individual above his or her comrades and must have involved risk of life.

Unquestionable proof in the form of eyewitnesses to the deed is required before the award of the Medal of Honor can be considered.

Other than surviving captivity, exactly what deed did Day perform that was "above and beyond the call of duty?"

What life threatening action of personal bravery and self-sacrifice did Day perform that "clearly distinguished" him above his comrades?

The following is a paraphrased account of Day's escape and evasion  from the North Vietnamese that U.S. authorities used to justify awarding him the Medal of Honor:  On 26 August1967, Air Force Maj. George "Bud" Day was forced to eject from his aircraft over North Vietnam when it was hit by ground fire.
 During the ejection, his right arm was broken in 3 places, and his left knee badly sprained. Upon landing, Day was immediately captured by hostile forces and taken to a prison camp where he was hung upside down and severely tortured for two days.

Day managed to escape on September 1. Barefooted and severely crippled, he traveled south for 2 days outrunning enemy soldiers who were using dogs ... both of his feet became bruised and cut from sharp rocks and battle debris.

On September 3, Day was wounded again from either a bomb or rocket. The blast ruptured his eardrums and sinuses. Shrapnel cut large open wounds in his right leg. He became disoriented and began vomiting blood and lost equilibrium. Totally debilitated, he crawled into bushes and lay hidden for two days.

Although seriously wounded, with an arm broken in 3 places, a severely swollen knee, ruptured eardrums, large open wounds in his leg, vomiting blood and no equilibrium, Day managed to resume his escape south on September 5. Existing only on berries and two raw frogs, he wandered aimlessly for several more days.

Despite all his broken bones and other injuries, on approximately September 8, Day swam the Ben Hai River which marked the boundaries of the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Vietnam. For another week, Day evaded communist patrols in South Vietnam.

Sometime on or about September 15, Day was surprised by an enemy patrol. Although, shot and wounded again, this time in his left hand and thigh, he managed to escape once more, staying on the run for another day and a half.

On Sept.17, 22 days after being shot down, Day was recaptured and marched to a POW camp back in North Vietnam. The communists tortured him for 48 hours straight causing him to become totally incapacitated and unable perform even the simplest task. His wounds festered into dangerous infection and his captors continued to refuse him medical treatment.

Sometime in middle November, Day was sent north to the infamous Hoa Lo prison camp where he was subjected to non-stop torture and refused any type of medical treatment. Finally, this captors had totally destroyed him physically.

Near the end of November, about two months after Day was shot down, he was placed into a prison cell with U.S. POW Norris Overly.

In December, the Vietnamese put seriously injured POW John McCain in the cell with Day and Overly. They took care of McCain until he was able to walk again.

By involving his Medal of Honor in politics and using it as an authority to trash other veterans, Day has "opened up his character as a war hero" for criticism. Day planted the standard for himself when he said that "Kerry's character is not only fair game, it is the primary issue."

Day's character and the legitimacy of his Medal of Honor "is not only fair game, it is the primary issue."

Military regulation requires that before the award of a Medal of Honor can be considered, unquestionable proof in the form of eyewitnesses must be provided.

Day had no witnesses because he was alone. Why was the "eye witnesses" requirement waived for Day?

Who approved Day for the Medal of Honor and did McCain or his admiral father have anything to do with it?

John McCain and Bud Day have formed a political tag team to deflect inquiries about McCain's questionable conduct while in captivity. They have cynically used the Medal of Honor as a shield - but in the process they have stained it.

As the wise man once said: "Politics makes strange bedfellows". The state of the Nation and our monumental problems today are a direct result of people like Sen. John McCain and other RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) like him. America has a renewed hope following the mid-term elections last November but the overwhelming majority the TEA Party conservatives handed the Republicans wasn't enough to curb the power hunger Democrats in the Senate. And Sen. John McCain now has a full six-year term to do his dirty work. Since he doesn't seem to know a patriot when he sees one it is questionable if he understands that America is a Constitutional Republic.
