ADDENDUM -- Fw: From ACT! for America--Houston: [New post] Suicidal Democracy

The biggest point of this article is this:

-

Concern exists that passage of SB 1360 would have ushered in restrictions on other religious courts, such as Halakhah.  But a crucial difference that is overlooked is that "some  Muslim sharia [forces] have pressed for their decisions to carry legal force in the national law. In contrast, no similar pressure has been exerted by the rabbinical courts. A fundamental principal in democracies is that equality before the law must refer to all citizens, [and] take care to maintain the wall of separation between church and state. By contrast, shariah law has been used to justify breaches or defiance of national, secular law."  As delineated by Michael Curtis, "[t]he rabbinical courts do not seek to be in disharmony with national law. By contrast shariah law has been used, on the basis of religious principle to justify breaches or defiance of national, secular law, the question of polygamy being a notorious example.
-
David Yerushalmi, an Orthodox lawyer, argues that sharia differs from Halakhah or Christian canon law because it sanctions jihad, which he says amounts to sedition through seeking the overthrow of governments through nonviolent and violent means.

-

It is good to address this issue.  By offering a definite distinction between Shariah and Jewish and Christian law--and most other religious laws as well--it helps silence civil libertarian arguments against anti-Shariah laws.

The title is an understatement.

Read the entire article here at http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/03/suicidal_democracy.html  I am reminded of the British Muslim who said, "We will use your democracy to destroy your democracy"--and through that, our Western culture.  Americans and Westerners need to reevaluate their democracy from a PC-rejecting perspective of reality.

ltw03y@yahoo.com has shared: The Case for the Empire

Darth Tommygun. I like it!
	The Case for the Empire Source: weeklystandard.com STAR WARS RETURNS today with its fifth installment, 'Attack of the Clones.' There will be talk of the Force and the Dark Side and the epic morality of George Lucas's series. But the truth is that from the beginning, Lucas confused the good guys with the bad. The deep lesson of Star Wars is that the Empire is good.

If Obama or Ron Paul (or the Tea Party movement) gets their way in Afghanistan (14-minute AUDIO)

But then, of course...

 

- Obama is a Muslim.

- Paul is a ZOG believer.

- The Tea Party thinks an "afghan" is some sort of weird blanket, and is only concerned about their portfolios anyway.

 

http://www.securefreedomradio.org/2012/03/21/a-war-of-attrition/ Starts at 13:10 point of the main 53-minute podcast.

 

Mark Thiessen examines the five real risks to the United States if it loses in Afghanistan. The drone war in Pakistan would stop, the Taliban would be free to reconstitute themselves and take control of the Pashtun area in Pakistan, Al-Qaeda will regain its sanctuary, Al-Qaeda and other groups would be embolden to strike against the United States, and finally it would send a sign of weakness to the enemies of the United States, especially Iran. Considering these disadvantages, should the U.S. withdraw from Afghanistan or should they maintain presence in the region?

Answer to military question boggling men's minds since "long ago."

How did the Empire in Return of the Jedi have a new Death Star (DS2) ready in a relatively short time, when it apparently took decades to build the first, smaller one (DS1--the one destroyed in the original movie)?

 

The answer is a combination of factors:

"9/11 phenomenon": When the "petty, insignificant rebellion" was just that--petty and insignificant--there was less pressure to get the thing built, and so the Emperor was satisfied with taking decades.  After DS1 was destroyed and the Rebellion increased in intensity, there was both impetus and justification for diverting resources to such a military project.

DS2 was rushed: Notice the structure is lacking pieces, almost like a Jenga game.  The focus was on getting the main weapons system up and online.

DS2 had higher relative priority: Note Vader's and the Emperor's personal presence.

DS2 had specific focus: DS1 was being used for a number of functions, like holding prisoners.  DS2 has no indication of being anything other than a dedicated weapons platform.

DS2 had less secure design: DS1 was vulnerable only through a small thermal exhaust port.  DS2 was structurally by design far more open to penetration by attacking craft.  (This is an unfortunate common byproduct of rushing such projects, one which will not occur under my own fuehrership.)

New technology: After decades, something had to develop.

Lessons learned: The experience of building DS1 taught lessons and shortcuts for DS2.

Increased efficiency: DS1 was built largely on the pre-Empire infrastructure of the Republic, and republics/democracies are never as efficient as the kind of system I would run..., ur, I mean, an authoritarian empire--"[The Emperor] is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress."  The decades gave the Empire time to change institutions.  Note the reference at the beginning of Episode 4--the original movie--to the Emperor finally getting rid of the Senate--"The last remnants of the old Republic have been swept away".

Resources freed up: No more need to support that poor planet Alderaan (it was destroyed).

Reduced activities by the Rebellion: After destroying DS1, the Rebels basically spent their time freezing their asses off on Hoth and running like scared taun-tauns.  No apparent attacks were launched, whereas there is indication that during DS1's time they had done SOMETHING to be considered a "rebellion."

Increased activity of The Force: The Dark Side had gradually increased its knowledge of The Force, and the little non-partisan Midi-Chlorians were more energetic than ever with Luke's self-proclaimed ascension to "Jedi Knight" status.

Probably less comfortable on DS2: I'll bet the storm troopers' quarters weren't even wired for Internet yet, and the MWR ("Morale, Recreation, and Welfare") facilities weren't completed.  (The thing was probably build by the Navy, not the Air Force! LOLOL).

Probable aid from Ewoks: Far more intelligent and better fighters than the Gungans ("Meesa Jar-Jar Binks!  Messa no have a boomba!"), the Ewoks likely aided Imperial operations since the Empire established their home as a "sanctuary moon," before the little ingrates turned away from their benefactors.

 

Thus, we see how the true good guys of the movie series--the Imperials--could indeed have produced a follow-up Death Star so quickly.  It is truly unfortunate how, according to the historical documents, they lost.  Perhaps our people will learn: (from the conservative Weekly Standard) "The Case for the Empire" - http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/001/248ipzbt.asp?nopager=1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From ACT! for America--Houston: [New post] The Jihad in France

Sheethead shooter is dead: http://news.yahoo.com/blasts-heard-french-gunman-siege-enters-second-day-015748437.html

 

1. How did he get an Uzi and an AK in gun-controlled France?

 

2. How can the guy claim links to Al Qaeda and was trained in Waziristan, and yet "[l]eaders of the Jewish and Muslim communities... point... out the gunman was a lone extremist"?

 

3. Isn't it amazing how the French will experience this, have people like LePen complain the Sarkozy government isn't doing enough to deal with Jihadism among French Muslims and creeping Shariah in French law, and then demand France pull out of GWOT in a Ron Paultardian, "They are only hitting us because we are over there" claim?  (Such is typical of too many on the far-Right, both here and in Europe--see, I criticize wrong people, wherever they are on the spectrum, including the Tee Pardee!)

From ACT! for America--Houston: [New post] A Kafir Brotherhood

Efforts along the lines of a "Jihad Brotherhood" have been and are being made.  There is an "American Defense League," modeled after the UK's English Defence League, and a "United States Defense League."  United West and even ACT! for America both do similar things, even reaching internationally. 

-

The problem is that the theoretical "Kafir Brotherhood" all agree on about 90 percent of issues... and let the 10 percent of disagreement react with their purist inclinations and block cooperation and cohesion.  How many times on A4A's Facebook page does a Second Amendment advocate--and I'm pro-gun--go off complaining about championing anti-gun but pro-GWOT New York Republican REP Peter King?  How many Christians won't work with non-Christians?  How many...  Well, I could go on and on. 

And of course, there is the ego thing--everybody wants their own little group or work, or want everything as they wish.  And so we see little groups form, not as chapters or cadres, but as independent operations.  It's almost childlike.  I volunteer on a forum site for young people of all ages, and years ago we had a rash of kids all setting up their own little chinsy forums.  Everybody wanted everybody else to join their forum and post there.  Of course, no one could be a part of everything, and just about all of them collapsed.  And the original main site suffered a bit as well.  But every kid wanted their own thing, many of them tried to have their own thing, and most of those failed, causing hurt feelings, demoralization, and an undercutting of the larger purpose.  Too many adults are simply really big children with more money and bigger issues to hurt.

-

To accomplish something akin to what is laid out in the article will require prioritization of positions, compartmentalization of issues, and subordination of preferences.  In simpler terms: Pick THE important thing, separate out other things, and follow the lead set by the leaders (even when it's not quite the best).  That's not easy for traditional Americans to do.  That's not easy at all for modern American conservatives to do.  And it's darn near impossible for most libertarian-minded people to do.  But it must be done--that attitude must be set--and only then, with that attitude, can the next step be taken.-

Visit our News page Brigitte Gabriel to Speak in Waukee, Iowa, and Lincoln, Nebraska! Brigitte Gabriel Leading expert on Global Islamic Terrorism Dear Lee, It's my privilege to invite you to one of two special events featuring Brigitte Gabriel, ACT! for America President. The events will be held as follows and are free and open to the public. Here are the details: 1st Event Date:         Tuesday, April 24, 2012 Time:         7:00 PM to 9:00 PM Location:  Point of Grace Ministries                     305 NE Dartmoor Drive                     Waukee, Iowa 50263 2nd Event Date:         Wednesday, April 25, 2012 Time:         7:00 PM to 9:00 PM Location:  Calvary Community Church                     4400 N. 1st                     Lincoln, Nebraska 68521 The events of the past eighteen months have been a sobering wake-up call to America. Without question, the threats radical Islam poses to America have increased. Brigitte will discuss these threats to our security and our freedoms, such as… The growing threat of homegrown jihad, with the number of such jihadist plots skyrocketing over the past two years. How terrorists are exploiting our porous southern border, often working with drug cartels. The increasingly militant—and successful—effort by Islamists worldwide to suppress free speech and criminalize any criticism of Islam. The growing Muslim Brotherhood threat and how Islamic sharia law is creeping into America. How the history and doctrines of Islam are being misrepresented in public school textbooks and classrooms. For a taste of the treat we have in store for you, check out one of Brigitte's recent speeches at an event in Nashville, Tennessee: http://www.tennessean.com/VideoNetwork/1271237687001/ACT-for-America-founder-speaks-at-anti-Shariah-conference-in-Nashville But even more important than this, Brigitte will spell out the strategies and tactics ACT! for America is employing to effectively fight back against these threats. Brigitte's message will be illuminating, at times disturbing and even shocking—but ultimately inspiring, empowering, and filled with hope! You will hear first-hand how ACT! for America is successfully rolling back the tide of radical Islam…how we are winning legislative victories…how we don't have to live in fear or resign ourselves to the inevitability of the threats arrayed against us...and how we will prevail. I also encourage you to email this to people you know who might be interested in attending. A few years ago we did an event like this in Indiana and one of our members in Oregon found out about it and emailed a friend in Indiana—who then brought 21 people to the event!! We're sending this email to all our members in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and South Dakota because we know, from prior experience, that many people are willing to travel to hear Brigitte speak and they forward announcements like these to people they know who live in the area. I know those of you who have heard Brigitte will agree—you don't want to miss this! It will be an event people will be talking about for a long time to come! Invite your friends and come join us in either Waukee, Iowa, or Lincoln, Nebraska. We look forward to seeing you on April 24th or 25th!

From ACT! for America--Houston: [New post] Pat Condell: Tell the truth about Islam

The answer to the problem described is to use every opportunity presented to you to expose the reality of Islam. It is a violent spirituality, a theo-political construct as insidious as 1930s German Nazism and as expansive as Soviet and Chinese Communism. Islam as a political factor must be treated as we treated Nazism and Japanese Shintoism (only much more so) after World War II, and contained and crushed as we did Communism in the Cold War (only with less "cold" and more "war"--not exactly on topic, but here's my dream for 2013: http://youtu.be/n96hCfLEcDE ).

From ACT! for America--Houston: [New post] Why deterrence won’t work against Iran

Dershowitz: "The first question therefore is whether the United States would actually be willing to retaliate against a nuclear attack on Israel by dropping nuclear bombs on Tehran, killing millions of its civilian inhabitants. The second question is whether any civilized country—the United States or Israel—should be willing to kill millions of Iranian civilians because their leaders made a decision to use nuclear weapons against Israel or the United States. The third question—and the one never asked by advocates of deterrence—is whether it would be legal, under the laws of war, to target millions of civilians in a retaliatory nuclear attack."

 

What I would say to the Iranian people about this is what my drill sergeant told us when things didn't work out fair:

 

"SUCKS TO BE YOU."

March 20, 2012 Textbook analysis report released today! A special message from Brigitte Gabriel, President, ACT! for America Education www.ACTforAmericaEducation.org Dear Lee, It is with great delight that I announce to you that today we released "Education or Indoctrination? The Treatment of Islam in 6th through 12th Grade American Textbooks." ACT! for America Education Executive Director Guy Rodgers and I began discussing this project nearly four years ago. Today, that project is a reality—and I believe that one year from now you and I will look back on this as a truly historic accomplishment that helped change the course of education in America. This report shines a bright light on a pattern of errors, omissions and bias in the textbooks reviewed. Our children deserve better. Our children deserve facts and accuracy, not historical revisionism. To give you just one example of the errors our research uncovered, in discussing the 9/11 attacks, the textbooks typically fail to mention the perpetrators were Muslims or that they acted in the cause of Islamic jihad. In one book the terrorists are portrayed as people fighting for a cause. In just a few years after September 11th, the history of what happened on that tragic day was rewritten in our school textbooks. Omitting this vital information, that jihad was the motivation for the attacks, makes it difficult, if not impossible, for today's young teens, who don't remember 9/11, to really understand what happened that day—and why. Please forward this email to anyone and everyone you know. Help us get the word out far and wide! Over the next few months we hope to wake up America to what this report has uncovered! To access the report log on to www.ACTforAmericaEducation.org. Once there you will find the following: The Executive Summary of the Report, which was mailed to over 70,000 state and local school board members nationwide; The full Report; Sub-reports, sorted by each textbook publisher; A plan for taking action. The few have always made a difference in this crazy, dangerous but wonderful world we live in. This is our time, those of us who "get it" and are concerned about the direction of our future, to come together and work together to make a difference for our country and our future generation. I am honored to put my hand in yours and work with you to ensure our children receive the best historical education, and America remains the greatest and brightest nation on earth. Brigitte Gabriel
