Cats, Guns, and National Security

Some may think this is stupid.  I really don't care about that anymore.   (NOTE: The bills costs nothing.  But even if it did, we pay out money for health care for prisoners, and as Sheriff Joe Arpaio would say, these dogs didn't commit any crimes and they work for a living.)   SENATE VERSION: S. 2134: Canine Members of the Armed Forces Act (sponsor:  Sen.

In my opinion, the character and patriotism of Brigitte Gabriel, an immigrant from Lebanon who saw her native majority-Christian country overrun and dominated by the same Jihadi-minded terrorists whom we fight today, puts most native-born Americans to shame.   Sent: Friday, May 25, 2012 10:57 AM Subject: We salute and honor you!

It's different from those who have never known or will never know how different life could be if ...

Because CAIR is on a quiet, behind-the-scenes crusade to intimidate law enforcement agencies and censor their counterterrorism materials. In a powerful new video featuring Brigitte Gabriel, we expose how CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) has been demanding that law enforcement agencies turn over counterterrorism training materials and related records. In a letter dated November 7, 2001 ( view the first page here ), CAIR writes: …we believe that by reviewing and possibly improving training materials provided to [the] County Sheriff's Office personnel, [the] County Sheriff's Office will be equipped to engage in more effective policing… Think about this for a moment. CAIR… an unindicted co-conspirator in the la...

The full article does a great job of laying out the liberal/Left approach to such issues, and might help the less educated conservatives in America understand why the Left does what it does. The discussion of how the Swedish program essentially played two liberal positions going against traditional Western positions–pro-Islam and pro-woman–against each other is quite instructive. Liberals (and I hate to be too partisan, but I must here) take sides based on which side in a dispute goes the most against traditional Western values. Think of it as a graphic where traditional Western values are at the center of a bunch of concentric circles. The further away from tradition a given position or agenda gets, the further out on the circles it is, and the more sympathetic toward it liberals are. Thus, liberals find themselves on the one hand being pro-feminist, and on the other hand, pro-Islamic. - This of course inevitably creates conflicts and contradictions in any objective exami...
