Radical Islamic Terrorist Hearing

As I sit hear and am watching the committee hearing on the "Extent of Radicalization" Among American Muslims, I find myself angry at some of these politicians, and the media's hatred towards Rep. Peter King. Almost all of the Democrats except one, Rep. Brian Higgins (D-NY 27th Dis.), has accused the hearing of being a witch hunt against peaceful Muslims. I'm sure before the day is over he will be branded a traitor by his fellow Democrats, for not towing the line with them. In some cases, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, was so disrespectful, that Rep. King had to step in.

I am listening to the father of the young man, Carlos Bledsoe aka Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, who shot up the Recruiting Station in Little Rock, Arkansas. Melvin Bledsoe, was very articulate in getting his point across that radicalism in this country a lot of times starts in college.

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA 12th Dis) was so disgusting in her questioning, by criticizing the fact that the people who are on the panel were not experts in her eyes, because they weren't associated with the government, except for the Los Angeles County Sheriff, Leroy Baca, that the good Sheriff had to put her in her place and tell her that without the members of the panel, the problem of Islamic terrorism CANNOT be solved. She claimed that the testimony of the father, Mr. Bledsoe, and Abdirizak Bihi, the uncle of a young man who joined Jihad and was killed in Somalia, were interesting, but not expert testimony. Mr. Bledsoe's very apt response was what makes the politicians on the committee an "expert" to do what they do on their various committees...

Our representatives have an obligation to listen to these people who are living in fear from radical Islam. Not look down their noses at them with contempt.

Dr. Zuhdi Jasser held his own very well against Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA 47th Dis), who got so angry during her questioning of him, that she constantly tried to cut him off from speaking, because he said something she didn't want to hear. The people on this panel have risked their lives to be here, and some of their families have already been threatened.

I'm tired of hearing about comparing Christianity, and Judaism, to radical Islam. I don't ever recall hearing in Mass, my priest saying that we need to go out and kill Muslims because they are not of our faith. And for the love of God, please stop mentioning Timothy McVeigh. He was an atheist. Period. Those two young men that shot up Columbine, were specifically killing Christian students also. They were not Christians. I'm also tired of hearing that we need not paint everyone in the Muslim community with a broad brush, because the Tea Party has been deemed a racist group, because of the actions of a few. There are those of us in that movement that have spoken out, but to no avail. Muslims were cheering in the streets on 9/11/01, and there are those here in this country that are still finding ways to attack us again. As someone who lived in a Muslim country as a child, I can tell you first hand, radicalism is very real, and for us to ignore the fact that they come from the Muslim community, is a grievous error on our part. If Islam is a peace loving religion, then why are these families in danger for speaking out?

Government run health care at its best...

For those of you who want to emulate the health care systems of Europe and Canada as the example we should follow, please read the following article:

The original article can be found here.

I just got finished listening to the heart-wrenching testimony of this little baby's father, who was told that his son will not be given a tracheotomy, because his son will feel too much discomfort at home. But at the capacity board, this same doctor told the board that since the baby felt NO PAIN, that the breathing tube should be removed to let him die. Well which one is it? Either he feels pain or he doesn't. The family will try to move their son here to America for continued care. I pray for their success. Right now when the father wants to visit with his son, there is security in the room with him. He can't even pray in private with his little boy.

This is what our health care system will look like if we allow this new health care law to proceed. We will be putting our care in the hands of some medical board, to determine who will live and who will be too expensive to keep alive. Are you willing to take that risk? I know I'm not.

Why do true racists and liberals get a pass?

These men I have pictured here are two of the biggest hate filled people I have ever heard. How is it that a sitting Congressman (Moran - Top), and a now deceased Senator (Byrd - Bottom), can spew so much hatred and still have a job? Byrd was a Klansman. He started the KKK in West Virginia, and used to recruit new members. And what was his reasoning for joining? He chalked it up to being young. Oh, well since that's all that needs to be done to make amends, then why didn't Christine O'Donnell get a pass about the whole witch thing when she was in high school? She was young. Why did they rake her over the coals mercilessly, until she had to come out with that commercial (albeit a silly one)? Why is it that Byrd can call someone a "white nigger", and no one barely says a word? The left wing media will continue to give him a pass, and exhalt him as a great leader.

Jim Moran (D) 8th District-VA is at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to saying hateful things. He said that the only reason Democrats lost in November 2010 is because America doesn't want to be led by an African-American, that we're racists. To an Arab t.v. station no less. Right, that's why Obama won the presidency with a win in Virginia. That's why there were a number of African-American Republicans who won in this last election. We don't hate Obama because he's Black, we don't want him telling us that we're hateful, or that we're the enemy, or how to spend our money. Moran also said that a decorated Army veteran of 24 years, COL Patrick Murray, had no public service. To possibly die for the safety of this country is the ultimate public service. Moran is a disgrace, and I'd like to ask those residents of VA- 8th district, "Are you proud of who you have representing you? Why did you vote for him?" This is just two examples of his animosity to conservatives, and the country as a whole.

Who's going to hold them accountable? Who going to tell them to their faces that they are a disgrace? I hope that one day the elitist MSM would treat this kind of hatred to the right, with the same disdain they assume the left receives. Until then, we'll continue to be sickened with the so called media corps.

Spike Lee can move abroad anytime he wants...

I wanted to wait and see if the all knowing Spike Lee would apologize for the comment above. And I'm wondering why Meredith didn't question him further about his comments...and I'm still waiting...

So Spike Lee thinks this country is the most violent in human history huh? Has he not read anything about history? If not let me give a little overview about recent human history:

WWI 1914-1918:

During World War I, there were 16 million deaths, and 21 million wounded. These deaths were soldiers and civilian alike.

Josef Stalin 1925-1953

Kill tally: Approximately 20 million, including up to 14.5 million needlessly starved to death. At least one million executed for political "offences". At least 9.5 million more deported, exiled or imprisoned in work camps, with many of the estimated five million sent to the 'Gulag Archipelago' never returning alive. Other estimates place the number of deported at 28 million, including 18 million sent to the 'Gulag'. [1]

WWII 1939-1945:

During World War II, there were an estimated 60-80 millions deaths that was military and civilian.

Holocaust 1933-1944: I'm sure there are people wondering why I separated WWII casualties and casualties from the Holocaust. The deaths from the Holocaust had nothing to do with the war. The Holocaust was the systemic killing of Jews, and the killing of P.O.W.'s, Gypsies, the disabled and mentally retarded, and those deemed inferior in any way to the Aryan Race. Approximately 11 million people were killed, with approximately 6-7 million of the deaths to be Jews.

Korean War 1950-1953:

During the Korean War, there were an estimated 5 million killed, these were civilian and military.

Vietnam War 1955-1975

During this time period an estimated 1-1.2 million people were killed, these included civilian and military.

Chairman Mao Zedong 1958-1968

Over 80 million people were killed during the reign of Chairman Mao. During the "Great Leap Forward" about 43 million people died. During Mao's "Cultural Revolution" apx. another 40 million people died.

Pol Pot 1975-1979:

Under the reign of Saloth Sar aka Pol Pot, an estimated third of the countries population (apx. 3 million) perished.

Rwanda 1994

In less than 100 days, over 800,000 people died in widespread genocide. The Hutu power group known as the Akazu directed the genocide. [2]

Darfur, Sudan 2004-Present Day

The genocide in Darfur has claimed around 400,000 lives and displaced over 2,500,000 people.

If anyone's counting, that's around 217,400,000 people in the last century. If Spike still thinks this country is the most violent in history, I'd be more than happy to help him pack and find another bright and sunny place to live. One that grants him all the freedoms he has here, so he can say all the crap that has come out of his mouth. Maybe he'll like it somewhere nice and quiet...Siberia perhaps...

Again...hypocrisy from the left

Before the bodies were even removed from the parking lot of a Safeway in Arizona, the left was already condemning the Tea Party and Conservatives for the horrific shootings at Rep. Giffords event on Saturday. And even when it was starting to be known that this guy was a raving lunatic, that had his sights on her long before the Tea Party was around, and long before anyone even knew who Sarah Palin was, they continued to ignore the obvious. There were no apologies for blaming a group of people that have nothing to do with this type of thinking. I am sick and tired of the left blaming everyone but themselves when it comes to the political rhetoric that is so heated, even some Democrats were saying that the left was jumping to conclusions on who this guy was. The left is blaming Palin, but why didn't they condemn The Daily Kos for putting up a similar photo with targets, aimed at Giffords, claiming that she wasn't liberal enough. How about the comment left by BoyBlue on the Daily Kos where he claims:

Blue Boy posts apology...


This post is now taken down from their page, but not until her life was almost taken. During the Bush and Cheney administration, there were always protests with pictures of their faces in crosshairs, and people chanting, "Death to Bush and Cheney". I don't recall the left wing media saying to tone down the rhetoric. I know many who said to me all the time they wished someone would just assassinate Bush. And don't forget about the movie depicting the killing of a sitting president. Or how about Sen. John Kerry's comment of going to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave and killing Bush...

Ironically every other instance of this video has been scrubbed from the internet. Why? Because what he said is an outrageous statement to say considering he was a sitting senator at the time...

Or how about the Democrat party using bullseye symbols to describe their efforts to go behind enemy lines:

Here's a few more for nostalgia's sake:

Obama campaign rally October 2008


Note the Lee Harvey Oswald reference

And this one tops the cake:




The sheriff of Pima County could possible taint the jury with his obvious left leanings, and if he's not careful, he will give the defense all the leeway they need to blame their clients illness on the Tea Party and Conservatives. In case people forgot, a nine year old child is dead. She was born on September 11, 2001, and wanted to learn more about how her government works. What type of world are we leaving for our children, when the only thing they hear from this event on the left is nothing but hatred for people that had nothing to do with this massacre? We need our leaders to be at the forefront keeping this country together, not being the very ones tearing us apart. President Obama did it the right way on Saturday...everyone else should follow his lead...

Good Samaritans Face Fine After Rescuing Deer From Icy Water


http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2010/12/17/good-samaritans-face-fine-after-rescuing-deer-from-icy-water/


I have one simple question? If this were a person, would the authorities have said to let them drown? Of course not. If someone has the means to save a living being, why on earth would someone ticket them for trying to do the right thing? What has this world come to where we should sit and watch something drown right in front of our eyes? Shame on that natural resources police officer...these tickets should be thrown out with the courts apology...

The First Lady can't leave it parents to properly feed our children at school...

The First Lady said that it can't be left up to just the parents to provide healthy food for their children at school. Yes that's true to a point. But on the other hand, if I want a certain type of food fed to my children, I would send lunch with them.

You know as a mother of 5 children, I think I am perfectly capable of knowing what diet is proper for my children and what isn't. Anyone who has ever seen my kids will tell you they are very fit, and yes they eat happy meals. Why are they fit if they eat some junk food? It's about exercise. My kids are non stop energy machines. They play and run almost all day from the moment they wake up, until they go to sleep at night. Getting them to sit still through lessons is challenging because their metabolism is so high, that they need to move around between lessons. So since I home school, I can let them go outside for about 15 min between lessons and run around.

When I was a little kid we played on monkey bars, merry-go-rounds, tag, football, dodge-ball (my personal favorite), and actually had P.E. more than once a week. You very rarely saw really obese kids on the playground. We played hard all day, until I could hear my dad's booming voice coming down from my house, (those of you who know where my house is in relation to the park know what I'm talking about). Either that or we kept an eye out for the street lights to come on. Most of us played competitive sports, where they actually kept score, and yes we ate fast food. Not every day, but maybe once a week, or every other week.

Growing up I had to work twice as hard to stay slim. I had always thought I needed to be a little thinner all throughout high school. Looking back at my high school prom picture now, man I would kill to be that size again! When I enlisted in the Army I weighed 150 pounds with 18% body fat, and the Army said I need to weigh 141. So over the next 10 weeks, I literally ran my butt off and lost 14 pounds, and got down to 12% body fat. My battle buddy gained 14 pounds.

Why is this important? It goes to the First Lady's comment that the military says this is a national security threat. I wanted to be fit enough to serve. It was difficult. I worked hard to fit the standards, no matter how hard and painful it was. My battle buddy on the other hand spent a great deal of time complaining of how much work it was. How much her knees hurt affected our performance in training. It slowed us down and frustrated me to no end. Don't get me wrong, I love her dearly, but sorry honey this wasn't Girl Scouts, it's the military. The military is a great group of men and women who give their all, but it's primary mission is defense, and finding the bad guys and killing them, before they can kill us. If you don't want to do what it takes to stay in, don't join thinking you'll be able to work it off in Basic, or that they will make exceptions for you. If you're not going to give it your all, find another career field.

I am aware there are some crappy parents out there who could care less about their children, but you don't denigrate all the others by saying that caring for their children's diet shouldn't be left up to the parents when our kids are at school. Ever heard of a lunch box, or brown paper bags? If your kids eat breakfast before school, and take their own lunch from home, where is the problem? If on the happen-chance I don't send lunch with my kids that day, I'd like to know that they are eating something they enjoy. If you take away all the food kids like to eat, and also take away the activities necessary for them to stay fit...they are still going to gain weight because they are not going to want to eat what's provided if they don't want what's there. It's a waste of money. Their bodies will go into starvation mode, and store what little food they eat as fat. You might as well give them a a variety of foods, and increase their P.E. requirements, and leave the rest of us alone. I propose that P.E. be extended by an extra 30 min, and they should have it at least three days a week. That gives the teacher a little more time to organize the activities, and more time for the kids to actually be moving around.

I joked yesterday on the radio, that if I wanted to give my kids Ho Hos and Twinkies, that that was my priority. That government intervention (again) is not the answer. In response, the guy who was next right after me, said that my kids would probably die from diabetes by the time they were fifty. One, don't talk about my kids like that. If someone wants to criticize me on something they disagree with fine, but leave my kids alone. Two, I have family members with diabetes, and my oldest has Sickle Cell Disease. I am not careless about my families health, and to make a harsh comment about children is unacceptable. Thankfully the show's host defended me.

Yes you are going to have some that aren't responsible, that goes for any walk of life, and any profession. That doesn't mean that the government is the solution. Most times they are the problem...
