PRESIDENCY
OBAMA'S MARINES - In the mind of President Barack Obama, somehow Islam and the gay agenda are completely compatible, despite the fact that in Islamic nations homosexuals are hung. During his campaign and after obtaining office, Obama promised homosexuals they could serve "openly" in the military. At the same time women service members in Muslim nations, including Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia, are forced by Obama's generals to wear Islamic religious clothing when off base. Will homosexual soldiers in Afghanistan be told not to hold hands off base? The liberal double standard of pandering to Islam as it tramples the rights of women is appalling. Meanwhile the liberal agenda of attempting to destroy the traditional family continues. In the photo above, a heavily armed Marine receives assistance to look acceptable in a Muslim town.
OBAMACARE WILL REDUCE WORKFORCE - The bad news keeps coming for ObamaCare. Congressional Budget Office director Doug Elmendorf has issued a report stating that ObamaCare includes work disincentives that will shrink the economy. The CBO estimates that "the legislation, on net, will reduce the amount of labor used in the economy by roughly half a percent." That 1/2 percent is equal to about 800,000 jobs. The CBO report states that the expansion of Medicaid will reduce "the amount of labor that workers choose to supply." Some impact comes sooner. Beginning January 1st, millions of American who have HSA (Health Savings Accounts) will be required to get a doctor's prescription to buy thousands of common over the counter drugs including aspirin, Tylenol and cough syrup. Obama wants to make sure those millions of Americans are not "cheating" and buying aspirin they don't need.
THE CONGRESS
CONGRESS ADJOURNED - The House and Senate have now both officially adjourned until after the November 2nd elections.
ELECTION COMIC RELIEF - Although next week's elections could determine the future of the nation, there have been some humorous moments including President Obama being called "dude" when he appeared on John Stewart's program on Comedy Central. One of my favorite videos is a Youtube parody of California Senator Barbara Boxer that refers to her demand that a military officer call her "Senator" at a hearing instead of "ma'am."
CULTURE AND RELIGION
MUSLIM PLAN TO BOMB SUBWAY IN DC - This week the Washington Post reported that, "more than 60 U.S. citizens have been charged or convicted in terrorism cases" so far in 2010. This fact was part of the reporting on the arrest of Farooq Ahmed, a Muslim who planned to kill as many people as possible with bombs on the Washington Metro system. On the day of his arrest ABC Nightly News managed to report the story without once mentioning that the terrorist was a Muslim. Indeed, a reporter stated that there was no pattern to terrorists arrested in the United States and that they were both black and white as well as both men and women. The ABC reporter was correct, there is no pattern as long as religion is not considered a factor. ABC News has also depicted slum lord imam Feisal Rauf, the proponent of the Ground Zero mosque, as a near saint. ABC is owned by the Disney Corporation.
OK TO ASK FOR PROMISCUOUS ROOMMATE? - The Michigan Department of Civil Rights has filed charges against a woman for posting a note on a church bulletin board seeking a "Christian roommate." Apparently the state believes that specifying religious beliefs is a grievous punishable offense. Keep in mind that this is Michigan which has a large Muslim population which practices Sharia law and forbids interfaith dating. There is a Muslim roommates internet site that clearly discriminates by religion and lists Muslim roommates in Michigan. Why are only Christians targeted by this agency?
NO 911 MOSQUE!
RAUF JUST CAN'T SAY THE "T" WORD - The New York Post reported that Feisal Rauf just could not get the "terrorist" word out when trying to describe the 9-11 Jidhad attack on America while he was being interviewed on Al Jazeera TV. Previously he called the the 9-11 hijackers, "those who attacked America." This time, while in the Persian Gulf, he referred to the terrorists as, " ... those who've attacked America utilized the vocabulary of religion."
THE MOSQUE AND SHARIA - One of the most overlooked aspects of the mega-mosque planned for Ground Zero is its influence on Wall Street and the continued spread of Sharia finance which is directly tied to Sharia Law. One of the speakers at a conference in which I participated this past week was Clare Lopez, a former CIA agent who was one of the editors of a trestise on Sharia law produced by the Center for Security Policy. The full 170 plus page document is available in PDF.

WEAPONS FOR GAZA - Why are "humanitarian groups" so anxious to have the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip lifted? Most of the groups, which are also anti-Israel, believe sea containers should be delivered directly to Hamas controlled Gaza with no Israeli inspection. Meanwhile Nigeria's State Security Service discovered military arms inside of 13 shipping containers from Iran at Lagos' Apapa Port. The arms, headed for the Gaza strip, included 107 mm rockets and launchers as well as fragmentation grenades and ammunition. The munitions have been hidden in the port since July awaiting a route to open up to Hamas in the Gaza Strip. MIDDLE EAST MINORITIES - This week I participated in a conference on "The Plight of Minorities and Expatriates in Arab and Muslim Countries: What the US Should Do," presented by the Center for Democracy and Human Rights in Saudi Arabia (CDHR) in collaboration with Human Rights Advocates and Religious Freedom Defenders. The conference occurred on Tuesday, October 26, 2010 in the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center Congressional Meeting Room. Other speakers included representives of Copts, Hindus and others repressed by Muslim majorites. My comments are at Youtube/Christianrefugees.

PRESIDENCY
OBAMA DROPS THE CREATOR - In a little more than one month President Barack Obama has misquoted the Declaration of Independence three times, and each time he has deliberately deleted the "Creator." On October 18th Obama said, "As wonderful as this land is here in the United States, as much as we have been blessed by the bounty of this magnificent continent that stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, what makes this place special is not something physical. It has to do with this idea that was started by 13 colonies that decided to throw off the yoke of an empire and said, 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that each of us are endowed ... with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.'" Where the three dots appear Obama deleted the words, "by their Creator." The same thing happend on September 23 at a Democrat fundraiser in New York City. All three times Obama was reading from a teleprompter so this was no accidental omission. See video of September 15th incident.
THE CONGRESS
CONGRESS ADJOURNED - The House and Senate have now both officially adjourned until after the November 2nd election.
WHO IS BIGGEST ELECTION DONOR? - This should not be a surprise. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), which has 1.6 million members, is spending a total of $87.5 million on the November 2nd election. They are so desperate to keep Democrats in office that they have tapped their 'emergency account for $16 million and borrowed another $2 million. The union is spending the money on television advertisements, phone calls, campaign mailings and other efforts. Indeed the AFSCME is spending far more than the Chamber of Commerce which has been targeted by President Obama as being an evil outside organization trying to affect the election outcome.
CULTURE AND RELIGION
JUDGE ROBERT BORK - On Wednesday of this week I was privileged to attend an Alliance Defense Fund awards breakfast in which Judge Robert Bork received the Edwin Meese award for his faithful struggle in the cause of originalism. As a law professor and a judge his writings pointed to the fact that judges free of originalism could interpret the Constitution as they pleased and render any verdicts to fit their personal agendas. Bork may have been unjustly refused a seat on the Supreme Court, but he opened a discourse on the Constitution that continues today.
NPR FIRES JUAN WILLIAMS - I don't always agree with liberal news commentator Juan Williams, but I do admire the fact that he is logical and sticks with issues rather than personal attacks as do most other liberal commentators. Apparently he is too logical for the publicly funded National Public Radio (NPR) which fired him this week. He was fired for saying that being on airline flights with Muslims who deliberately identify themselves by dressing up in Muslim garb makes him nervous. On the other hand an NPR commentator who wished AIDS on the children of a conservative Senator is welcome at NPR. The reality is that NPR fired Juan Williams after getting a donation of $1.8 million dollars from George Soros to "investigate" conservative journalists on Fox News. Juan Williams is a frequent liberal commentator on Fox. While Soros' desire to harm the Fox Network was the main reason behind the firing of Juan Williams I am sure that an e-mail campaign by a Muslim group associated with the Muslim Brotherhood helped as well.
NO 911 MOSQUE!
SAUDI PRINCE DUMPS RAUF The New York Times reported this week that Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal is now against the Ground Zero mosque. Alwaleed's Kingdom Foundation has long supported financially Feisal Abdul Rauf, the alledged "spiritual guide" of the Ground Zero mosque. He has donated more than $200,000 to Rauf's American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA). Alwaleed told the Times, "I am not for putting a mosque there." He gave two reasons, first that he thinks the construction would offend the families of 9/11 victims and second that it is near a strip club that would offend Muslims as they went to pray there.

MUSLIMS BOMB BUS IN PHILIPPINES - Ten people have died and fifty were injured when Muslims exploded a bomb on a bus in a rural area of the southern Philippines. Muslim gangs there have threatened to plant bombs to extort funds from Christians. The wounded were brought to hospitals in North Cotabato province. In the last month Muslims have attacked innocent civilians in other areas of the Pacific including Thailand and China.
CHURCH ATTACKED IN PAKISTAN - More than ten armed Muslims attacked and vandalized a Church next to the Gordon College in Rawalpindi October 20th. The pastor and his family were tied up while Muslims desecrated Holy Bibles and threw away Hymn Books. The chapel of the college itself was similarly attacked in 2009.

PRESIDENCY
OBAMA AND THE RULE OF LAW - "Equal in the eyes of the law." Beginning in the 1960's liberals began their attack on this concept of the rule of law that made America a great nation morally and financially. Beginning with government job point systems that punished white men because of their sex and color, our society moved to one of special privilege that "protected" some groups and punished others. President Barack Obama has taken upon himself to bury what is left of the concept of the rule of law. Here are a few examples: ObamaCare, which he claimed would benefit all, has now issued exemptions to some very large corporations, while forcing other businesses to enter the system. Interns can no longer train in for-profit corporations, but can in government jobs. His Justice Department made it clear it will not file charges against anyone violating the voting rights of whites or orientals. The list goes on, but the difficulty of predicting which arbitrary laws will apply to which groups is destroying our economy as investors can't figure out the rules that apply to them. Hope is the casualty of the Obama war against the rule of law.
I WANT YOUR MONEY - This week my wife and I were privileged to attend a private viewing of "I want Your Money" with the producer, Ray Griggs . The movie, which is a documentary, explains the liberal concept of Utopian government and why it does not work, contrasting it with the proven success of Ronald Reagan's concept of limited government. While at times repetitive, it is funny and does make good points. This is movie that grandma and grandpa should take the grand-kids to. Younger kids will enjoy and understand the animation while older kids may learn concepts not taught in school. See trailer
OBAMA AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM - Rich Daly of the National Catholic Register has written a major article on President Obama and his view of religious freedom. The article, "Where is Obama on Religious Freedom?" cites his refusal to confront Islamic domination of religious minorities and the Islamic push to force Western nations to enforce blasphemy laws. The article quotes me and uses the Religious Freedom Coalition as a reference.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOVEMBER 2ND? - Virtually all polls show that Republicans have momentum and will retake the House in November; however, there is no clear victory in the Senate where Republicans would have to pick up ten seats for a majority. If the Republicans win nine and there is a 50-50 split, Vice President Biden will have to spend a good deal of time in the Senate chamber to cast a deciding vote in favor of the Obama agenda. I am the chairman of the social conservative political action committee, Government Is Not God -PAC. You may be interested in learning about the candidates I have endorsed.

50% OF DEBT FOREIGN OWNED? - The official chart issued by the Department of the Treasury shows that 50% of the debt issued by our government is "foreign owned," but is that true? Note the small slice in the pie for the Middle East. do you believe for a second that this is correct? Of course not. While China owns US bonds directly, many of the Saudi princes own US bonds and other debt instruments through hedge funds that are incorporated in the United States. Much of the Saudi ownership of our debt is shown as "domestic." We owe so much to so many that recovery is virtually impossible.
CARTOON FEAR STRIKES NEWSPAPERS IN US - The Non Sequitur" comic strip by Wiley Miller has won many awards and appears in hundreds of newspapers." But when Miller did a take off on "find Waldo" called "find Mohamed," major newspapers dropped the strip out of fear. Miller said that editors, "... didn't see the satire was on them, of being petrified to run anything related to him (Mohamed)." There was no actual depiction of Mohamed in the strip. See strip and related article.

IRAN ARRESTS MORE IN STONING CASE - Iran arrested two foreigners for interviewing the son of a woman facing execution by stoning. Iran will not give the nationality or even sex of the two, but claims they have links with "anti-revolution" groups. Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said that the two posed as reporters and were "preparing a report" on their meeting with the family of Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani. Ashtiani is facing death by stoning, on trumped up charges in Iran. Her attorney has also been arrested as punishment for bringing the brutality of the Iranian government to the attention of "foreigners."
MAHMOUND ANUTCASE TAUNTS ISRAEL AT BORDER - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a threat to world peace and may bring the world to war in the same time frame of his dictatorship as did Adolph Hitler. He is also a man that President Obama wants "dialog" with. This week he stood at a border crossing in Lebanon, in sight of Israel, and incited tens of thousands of rallying Hezbollah supporters, calling for the destruction of "the Zionists." Mr. Ahmadinejad cried out to the rally, "The world should know that Zionists will perish!" Iran has heavily armed Hezbollah in the last few years. The United States has also furnished Lebanon with war supplies and funds that have in turn been turned against Israel as well.

EVEN MORE JOBS LOST - The economic miracle of massive government spending doesn't appear to be much of a miracle at all, as even more jobs vanished this past week and the reported unemployment rate stood at 9.5%. (NOTE: Gallup Polls put the real unemployment rate at 10.2 and those underemployed at 18.8%) Most of the newly lost jobs are layoffs by local governments whose stimulus checks have been spent. President Obama's stimulus spending only put off the layoffs by a year. Reality for local governments has arrived.
THE ANSWER? EVEN MORE SPENDING - More, not fewer, people are unemployed after hundreds of billions of dollars in stimulus spending. The answer from the Obama Administration and from Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is to print even more money and to increase the federal deficit even more. Under Obama the rate of spending has increased to the point that for every two dollars in tax revenue it receives, the federal government spends three dollars. How long can this last?
FEDERAL STUDY ON BAR ROOM BRAWLS - The Obama Administration spent $918,856 of our tax dollars on a study that found that bar fights tend to occur in darker, dirtier bars frequented by heavy drinking people. Who would have guessed? More at CNS News

CAMPBELL'S MUSLIM ONLY SOUP - Campbell's Soup of Canada is now producing a line of halal certified soups for Muslims. The Islamic Society of North America is certifying the soups for Campbell's under its "Halal Certification Program." Apparently the giant soup company either did not check or did not care that the ISNA has direct ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, according to Jihad Watch. Already a Boycott Campbell's Soup page has been established at Facebook.
MY OATH TO USA WAS A LIE - Faisal Shahzad, the jihadist who attempted to set off a car bomb in Times Square, has been sentenced to life in prison. At his sentencing hearing this week, Shahzad said he lied when he swore an oath to become a citizen and then said, "Brace yourselves because the war with Muslims has just begun. Consider me the first droplet of the flood that will follow." He then told the judge what virtually all Muslims in America are taught by their imams, "We do not accept your democracy or your freedom because we already have Sharia law." Welcome to the reality of Islam that President Barack Obama and his political correct crowd do not understand.

MUSLIM AREAS IN EUROPE "BAD FOR CHRISTIANS" - A new Pew report says that the growing Muslim population in Europe is bringing with it sharia law. The report states that the situation is "really bad for Christians where Muslims are now in the majority in Europe." A longer article was carried by World Net Daily on the study but it was largely ignored by the mainstream media.
MORE VIOLENCE AGAINST PAKISTANI CHRISTIANS - Islamists had threatened to kill Edwin Paul, an attorney and evangelist in Pakistan. He was ordered to leave his home within 24 hours or face death because he had taken a Muslim to court to collect a debt. Despite the major floods on September 28th, the Muslims carried out the threat, killing him and his entire family. Meanwhile thousands of Pakistani Christians are homeless from the floods but virtually all of the tens of millions of dollars in aid flowing to Pakistan is going only to Muslims. The Pakistani government is also blocking fuel and other supplies from being delivered to NATO troops in Afghanistan. What would America do without "allies" like Pakistan and Saudi Arabia? Probably be a lot better off.

TIRED OF DEFENDING OBAMA - A middle class African-American woman was very frank in dealing with President Obama at a townhall meeting saying, "I'm one of your middle class Americans. And quite frankly, I'm exhausted. Exhausted of defending you, defending your administration, defending the mantle of change that I voted for." She went on to express her frustration, "My husband and I have joked for years that we thought we were well beyond the hot dogs and beans era of our lives, but, quite frankly, it's starting to knock on our door and ring true that that might be where we're headed again, and, quite frankly, Mr. President, I need you to answer this honestly. Is this my new reality?" President Obama gave a very strange response saying that people would be frustrated with him even if he was purple. Story and clips at Real Clear Politics.
THE NEW PRESIDENTIAL LOOK? - As the Congress adjourns and prepares to return home to campaign, President Obama has shed his jacket and begun a daily campaign swing to help elect Democrats. The more he runs around in his shirt sleeves not only attacking the GOP but ridiculing individual Americans and the Fox News network, the more his ratings continue to drop. Perhaps his ratings would improve if he would act and speak more like a President and less like some guy with bad poll numbers running for city council in Chicago.
IS YOUR KID'S COLLEGE "AUTHORIZED" ? - Obama's Department of Education has drafted new rules to take effect in November that require all public and private colleges and universities to become "authorized" institutions or lose their accreditation. To become authorized a school must submit to the Department of Education's requirements on curriculum, faculty, textbooks, evolution, climate change, abortion, sexual orientation ... you get the concept. Any school or college that does not meet the requirements will be shut down. The Department of Education is very serious about this and will proceed with this power grab if not stopped. Read more.

NO BUDGET, NO TAX RATE, BUT A LOT OF HOT AIR - On Wednesday, September 28th radical left Speaker Nancy Pelosi adjourned the House leaving the nation with no budget and total uncertainty about tax rates beginning January 1st. The Pelosi run House had no time for budget votes, but it did have time for comedian Stephan Colbert. (see below). Meanwhile without knowing tax rates or rules for 2011, both individuals and companies are in a limbo that will slow economic growth.
THE COMIC, THE COMEDIAN AND THE SPEAKER - Ruth Marcus writing in the Washington Post said, "Stephen Colbert is no Elmo -- which is why it was crazy for House Democrats to have him testify before a subcommittee last week about migrant labor." The late night comic made a mockery of the legislative process, making it clear in his "immigration" testimony that he was there to tell jokes to be used on his show. Many Democrats were actually embarrassed, but not House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who said, "Of course I think it's appropriate. He's an American, right? He comes before the committee, has a point of view, he can bring attention to an important issue like immigration." For no other reason than to get this nutcase out of the Speaker's office, Republicans should take the majority in the House in November.
CAN DICTATOR IN AFRICA TELL YOU HOW TO RAISE YOUR CHILD? - If the United States ratifies the the UN's CRC (Convention for the Rights of the Child), the answer is yes. This is complicated: Only three nations in the world have constitutions that require them to enforce international treaties as law within their borders. The United States is one of those nations. All other nations can sign treaties, but are not required to enforce them inside their borders, which is why Muslim nations sign these kinds of treaties as they have no intention of honoring them. The CRC would require all domestic laws in the United States to conform to the CRC and whatever dictator happens to be running the commission set up by the United Nations at the time. This must be stopped. Learn more at www.parentalrights.org

J Street is a Jewish lobby group that, when they are not busy shining the shoes of President Obama, work for the closure of Jewish settlements and the establishment of a Palestinian state. And where does such a group get its funding? From George Soros. About a third of the total budget of J Street comes from the wacky billionaire who also provides funds for groups who want drug legalization, amnesty for illegals, and reduced sentences for sex crimes. J Street keeps interesting company. Another third of J Street's funds come from Consolacion Esdicul, a mysterious woman in Hong Kong who gave the funds through an unregistered charity. And yes, the White House calls J Street a "friend of the President."
UNDER GOD UPHELD - A Freedom from Religion Foundation lawsuit against the Architect of the Capitol to prohibit 'In God We Trust' and the Pledge of Allegiance in the Capitol Visitor Center, has been tossed out by a court. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin issued an order granting the motion to dismiss because the court found the FFRF lacked standing. While this is a victory it can be expected that the atheists will continue to file lawsuits. Oddly, atheist groups never file lawsuits against special privileges for Muslims at schools, airports and other public buildings.
