LORI LOWENTHAL MARCUS: “PALESTINIAN ONLY” BUSES IN ISRAEL —A BIG LIE

‘Palestinian Only’ Buses in Israel: The Big Lies are Back Of course there are no “Jews only” roads in Israel, just as there are no Jews only buses or even ‘Palestinian only’ buses in Israel. But if you tell a big lie often enough, well, Goebbels was the master and look where that took us. […]

But which Palestinian organization would take over Judea and Samaria (the West […]

Our Real Manmade Climate Crisis By Paul Driessen

Townhall.com In his first address as Secretary of State, John Kerry said we must safeguard “the most sacred trust” we owe to our children and grandchildren: “an environment not ravaged by rising seas, deadly superstorms, devastating droughts, and the other hallmarks of a dramatically changing climate.” Even the IPCC and British Meteorological Office now recognize […]

SPEAKING OF EDUCATION IN TEXAS…HERE IS ANOTHER WINNING POLICY OF GOVERNOR RICK PERRY(FROM OCTOBER 2012)

Texas Pushes $10,000 Degree
Gov. Perry Renews Call for Low-Cost College Education as Student Debt Loads Rise

For sale: a college education for $10,000 or less.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry is renewing his call for such lower-cost undergraduate degrees, in what he hopes will be the state’s signature response to the national problem of rising college tuition and student debt.

“A $10,000 degree provides an opportunity for students to earn a low-cost, high-quality degree that will get them where they want to go in their careers and their lives,” the Republican governor said in a statement last week. The governor has repeatedly urged schools to find ways to teach students more efficiently.

Ten Texas colleges have responded to the governor’s challenge, first made a year ago. Angelo State University, a 7,000-student school in west Texas, announced Wednesday it will offer a $10,000 degree starting next fall. The 10 schools educate more than 50,000 students, or roughly 10% of the undergraduates at public universities in the state, but don’t include the state’s flagship public universities, such as the University of Texas at Austin.

As details of the colleges’ plans have emerged, so have skeptics who question the financial and academic viability of pricing college at a fraction of the roughly $30,000 that students at Texas public universities pay on average over four years. They say reaching the $10,000 goal in some cases involves big scholarships for select students rather than real reductions in the cost of providing an education, and thus the path to a low-cost degree still isn’t open to large numbers of students.

RYAN MAURO: MEDIA MISS ISLAMISTS AT NATIONAL PRAYER BREAKFAST

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/ryan-mauro/media-miss-islamists-at-the-national-prayer-breakfast/print/

Dr. Benjamin Carson captivated the media’s attention with his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, but another attendee deserved some of the spotlight: Sayyid Syeed, the interfaith liaison for the Islamic Society of North America, who was recorded in 2006 saying, “[O]ur job is to change the constitution of America.”

The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) originates in the Muslim Brotherhood, but has been embraced on a bi-partisan basis. FBI sources reporting back to the mid-1980s identified it as a Brotherhood front. In 2007, the U.S. government designated ISNA an unindicted co-conspirator in the terrorism-financing trial of the Holy Land Foundation, listing it as a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity.

A 1991 Brotherhood memo, which describes its “work in America as a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within,” likewise mentions ISNA and several of its components as its fronts. In 2009, a federal judge upheld ISNA’s designation as an unindicted co-conspirator because of “ample” evidence linking it to Hamas.

The same 1991 memo lays out how the Brotherhood network must “posses a mastery of the art of ‘coalitions,’ the art of ‘absorption,’ and the principles of ‘cooperation.’” It explicitly talks about using the “hands” of the “nonbelievers” to advance its agenda.

The work of ISNA and its allies in forging interfaith partnerships is undoubtedly a fulfillment of this directive. ISNA has used these interfaith relationships to slam its critics as “Islamophobes,” as it did at an event on January 15 at the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Washington, D.C.

MICHELLE MALKIN: SHARIA EDUCATION IN TEXAS

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/michellemalkin/sharia-education-in-texas/print/ Texas is a right-minded red state, where patriotism is still a virtue and political correctness is out of vogue. So how on earth have left-wing educators in public classrooms been allowed to instruct Lone Star students to dress in Islamic garb, call the 9/11 jihadists “freedom fighters” and treat the Boston Tea Party participants […]
