Islamism Fills the Vacuum Left by Socialism By David Warren http://www.realclearpolitics.com/printpage/?url=http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2011/10/26/islamism_fills_the_vacuum_left_by_socialism_111823.html THE WORD “ISLAMISM” IS REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES…IT IS MILITANT ISLAM, STRICT INTERPRETATION OF THE KORAN’S INVOCATION OF SHARIA AND JIHAD…..RSK The message that “we will see” is not what readers turn to pundits for; yet it has to be said before proceeding […]
http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/story/2011-10-25/Dick-Armey-flat-tax/50917466/1 A flat tax will mark a significant victory for the American people over the iron triangle of lobbyists, special interests and politicians in Washington. The current tax code is a byzantine jumble defined by loopholes and special interest carve-outs. It throws taxpayers into a 60,000-page mire of dead weight, red tape, inefficiency, loss, cost, […]

MORE COMMENTATORS ARE SLAMMING THOSE USELESS DEBATES….WITH IDIOTIC QUESTIONS AND ONE MINUTE TO ANSWER AND THIRTY SECONDS TO RESPOND …..RSK
“Continue looking carefully, and positively, at Cain, Gingrich, and Perry. All three are very much alive, and each is a highly credible and qualified conservative candidate behind whom the overwhelmingly conservative Republican Party could enthusiastically unite and whom those same voters could carry to victory. ”
For the legacy media, Romney’s nomination becomes a greater certainty every day, if indeed it was ever in doubt to them, and their drumbeat and trumpet flourishes for the politically androgynous former Massachusetts governor grow ever louder and more difficult to ignore.
It’s probably time to take another serious look at what’s going on.
First, some outtakes from media’s fawning attempted anointment, all from persons who even now are sharpening the knives they will use on their current favorite Republicrat after his nomination is secure:

Lush might be a soap company, but as is probably well-known by now, it’s been engaging in something very grubby. I’ve made several posts on the subject, starting with the one here
It’s great to see these Californians taking a principled stand, in view of Lush’s demonisation of Israel. And as the uploader of the video points out on YouTube, there’s hypocrisy and double standards involved in Lush’s despicable campaign against Israel:
“They set up shop in countries where it is illegal for women to drive a car (Saudi Arabia) and where being gay faces a death penalty. It asks for you to support the PLO, who has asked for death to Israel and everyone it it, that includes Jews, Muslims, Christians.
But it seems to think that the only point to get on a high horse about is Israel, and ignore Syrian, Libyan, Iranian, Egytian slaughtering of people for protesting.”

Homeland Security: The bleaching of Islam from the terror picture is almost complete. Eric Holder has ordered a purge of FBI training manuals. Soon the 9/11 hijackers’ religion will be censored, too.
Last week, top Justice Department officials huddled with several Islamic groups — including a Muslim Brotherhood front implicated in a terror-finance scheme — to discuss “post-9/11 discrimination.” They promised the aggrieved they’d pull back references to Islam from terror-training materials.
“I recently directed all components of the Department of Justice to re-evaluate their training efforts,” Deputy Attorney General James Cole announced during the Washington conference. U.S. Attorney Dwight Holton explained that FBI training materials that even remotely link Islam to violence will be banned…..READ THE REST AT THE SITE
http://townhall.com/columnists/victordavishanson/2011/10/27/global_warming_–_rip/print Not long ago, candidate Obama promised to cool the planet and lower the rising seas. Indeed, he campaigned on passing “cap-and-trade” legislation, a radical, costly effort to reduce America’s traditional carbon energy use. The theory was that new taxes and greater regulations would make Americans pay more for fossil-fuel energy — a good thing […]
http://www.hudson-ny.org/2539/limits-of-limited-war Since 1945, we have lived through a time when, thanks to the Cold War nuclear standoff and US military supremacy, there have not been any all-out wars. This relatively happy time, however, might be coming to an end. Carl Von Clausewitz, in his classic study, “On War,” pointed out that there are conflicts “where […]

The report, titled “Final Document: Investigation on Anti-Semitism,” was commissioned by the Committee for the Inquiry into Anti-Semitism of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of the […]

Our Libyan Adventure Qaddafi’s dictatorship was preferable to an Islamist Libya.
‘Are you suggesting that we would be better off with the Qaddafi dictatorship still in effect?” asked Chris Wallace, browbeating presidential candidate Michele Bachmann.
And why shouldn’t he? After all, the Fox News anchor had just gotten Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Sen. Lindsey Graham to perform the requisite “Arab Spring” cartwheels over the demise of Libyan strongman Moammar Qaddafi. Apparently, when leading from behind ends up leading to a vicious murder at the hands of a wild-eyed mob, even folks who once got the sniffles over fastidiously non-lethal waterboarding can feel good about pulling out their party hats.
Imagine, then, the gall of Bachmann. The Minnesota Republican persisted in finding the cankers on the Arab Spring smiley face.
The most obviously ugly of these is that a throng of seething Islamists stripped, beat, paraded, and finally shot Qaddafi execution-style, all the while screaming the signature “Allahu Akbar!” battle cry with a fervor that would have made Mohamed Atta blush. They then shoved the despot’s corpse into a refrigerator — to maintain it for further triumphant display before thousands of gawking spectators. Too bad there was no official from the Obama administration’s Islamic Thought Police on hand to remind the mob of the Koran’s oft-quoted (but oftener ignored) teaching that to slay a single person is to slay all of mankind.

This, Andy explains, is more formally known as “facing the Qiblah,” which means turning toward the Kabaa […]
