PRESIDENCY 
THE PEACE PRIZE PRESIDENT - From the day he announced he would run for president, the media has depicted Barack Obama as a genius and the proof was his being a Harvard graduate who understands all things. (Of course, George W. Bush who was also a Harvard graduate was depicted as an idiot.) Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize after serving just a few months in office. Since receiving this humanitarian designation, he has fostered revolts in the Middle East that have caused thousands of deaths and allowed the slaughter of Christians and other religious minorities in Muslim nations without as much as a token protest of these human rights abuses. The failure of the Nobel Committee to recall Obama's "peace prize" is proof that it is a political rather than humanitarian organization.  
DONALD TRUMP, THE LEFT/RIGHT, UP/DOWN CANDIDATE - Billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump this year gave a keynote speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and has become the heartthrob of conservative media outlets by joining the "birther" movement. REALITY CHECK: Trump has no history as a conservative and has supported liberal Democrats and "moderate" or liberal Republicans in the past. He has given large sums of money to the campaigns of Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY); Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY); Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY); Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ); Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV); Sen. John Kerry (D-MA); former Senator Tom Daschle (D-SD); former Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE). Republicans he supported include turncoat Senator Arlen Specter and Governor Charlie Crist, who bailed out of the GOP rather than face Marco Rubio in a primary. Who is this guy?
YOU MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO - Obama's Intel-chief says the Muslim Brotherhood is secular. Is it? 

THE CONGRESS
CONGRESSIONAL RESOLUTION ON KING JAMES BIBLE - In this year of the 400th anniversary of the publishing of the King James Bible, Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-AL) has introduced H. Con. Res. 38, which recognizes the contribution which the King James Version of the Bible has made to American law, language, history and culture. The Resolution notes that "the teachings of the Scriptures, particularly read from the King James Scriptures, have inspired concepts of civil government contained in our founding document, and subsequent laws." The Resolution also notes that the King James Bible is the most printed and widely distributed work in history. President Andrew Jackson called it "the rock upon which our republic rests." The Resolution ends with these words: "Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That Congress expresses its gratitude for the influence it (the KJV) has bestowed upon the United States." The Religious Freedom Coalition delivered a letter to Congressman Robert Aderholt, thanking him for introducing this Resolution.  
SENATOR REID DROPS "UNDER GOD" FROM PLEDGE - In the Pledge of Allegiance the words "under God" appear in this context: "One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all". When quoting the Pledge on the Senate floor Reid states, "one nation indivisible" and leaves out "under God." This tendency to "forget" about God seems to be a systemic problem with this Administration. "In God We Trust" is the national motto, although President Obama has falsely stated in several speeches that the motto is "E Pluribus Unum". He also regularly leaves the phrase "endowed by our Creator" out of the Declaration of Independence when quoting it. See at Youtube
WERE BUDGET CUTS REAL? - Various Tea Party elements have attacked the $38 billion reduction in the 2011 budget agreement not only as too small but actually a phoney cut, saying it is money that would not have been spent anyway. REALITY: Congress does not spend money, contrary to what most people believe. Congress only AUTHORIZES the expenditure of money by the Administration. Over a period of ten years the $38 billion in cuts actually reduced AUTHORIZATION to the Administration of $315 billion or one third of a trillion dollars. Forty programs were cut or eliminated; for example the high speed rail program that has caused such controversy (because it was planned for areas where it is not needed). It is not just cut for 2011, it is gone. There are NO future authorizations for it. Read Speaker Boehner's explanation of the program cuts. 

RELIGION AND CULTURE 
NO SHARIA IN TEXAS? - Texas legislators are considering a ban on state courts using foreign religious or cultural laws. Sharia is not mentioned by name, but the intent is to stop the use of Islamic law. State Rep Berman, (R-Tyler) stated the goal "is to require a Texas court to uphold and apply only the laws ordained by the constitutions of (Texas and the United States), prohibiting any other interpretation." He stated, "We all know what Shariah law does to women - women must wear burqas, women are subject to humiliation and into controlled marriages under Shariah law. We want to prevent it from ever happening in Texas." Florida and other states are considering the ban as well after seeing the devastating effects of Sharia laws being enforced in the United Kingdom where Muslims, because of sharia, are allowed to have polygamous marriages.

NO 911 MOSQUE 

HILLARY CELEBRATES THE MOSQUE AND ISLAM - The first ever U.S.-Islamic World Forum, a large black tie gala at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium, was held in Washington, DC on April 12, 2011, with Hillary Clinton giving the welcoming address. Hillary told the audience how glad she was for the "chance to celebrate the diverse achievements of Muslims around the world." This is especially so since, as Hillary said, "Islam has always been a part of American history." Well, that is a new rewriting of history that came in with the Obama administration. It would have been hard to find a mosque in all of America in the country's early days, and our major interaction with Islamic nations was the thrashing of the Barbary pirates by U.S. Marines in their first foreign war.

INTERNATIONAL 

EGYPT: THREE MORE CHURCHES DESTROYED - In the last two weeks three attacks on churches were undertaken by Salafis, or Islamic Fundamentalists, in Egypt. The Salafis demanded churches move to locations outside communities and be forbidden from making repairs, "even if they are so dilapidated that the roofs will collapse over the heads of the congregation," says Father Estephanos Shehata of Samalut Coptic Diocese.

The latest of these incidents took place in the village of Kamadeer, in Samalout, Minya province on April 5, which escalated to the point where it was feared the church would be torched and demolished, as was done in the case of St. George and St. Mina Church in the village of Soul, Atfif, on March 5th.

CLEARED THEN MURDERED FOR BLASPHEMY - No, this is not a repeat of the story I wrote about in November, 2010. Mohamed Imran was wrongly accused of insulting Mohammed, a crime that is punished by death in Pakistan. Being proved innocent is normally as much of a death sentence as being found guilty. Every person ever found innocent and released has been murdered by Muslim vigilantes. Two gunmen burst into the shoe shop where Imran sat and shot him numerous times in front of his friends. Two high level politicians, Punjab governor Salman Taseer and minorities minister (and Christian) Shahbaz Bhatti, have been assassinated this year for criticism of Pakistan's blasphemy laws. The United States will give $3 billion dollars of our tax money to Pakistan this year. Good report on CNN
ANOTHER CHRISTIAN CHARGED WITH BLASPHEMY - On April 5th, 2011, 40-year-old Christian Arif Masih from Faisalabad, Pakistan was arrested and accused of ripping the pages of the Holy Quran and writing a threatening letter to the Muslims. The complaint was lodged on the testimony of Shahid Yousaf, a neighbor he was having a property dispute with. If he is found guilty he will be executed. If he is found innocent, Muslim vigilantes will track him down and kill him. Arif is being aided by the Masihi Foundation which helps those being persecuted by blasphemy laws. The Foundation is also trying to help Asia Bibi, the Christian woman imprisoned in Pakistan for drinking from a cup reserved for Muslims (a blasphemous act). Asia has been imprisoned for months and is seriously ill. Read more

March 11, 2011 - Washington, DC

Egypt, death of Christians and Barack Obama / Obama's vision of democracy / Congressman King's Islamic terror hearings / Wisconsin's fascist legislators / School allows Ten Commandments / Imam Feisal Rauf rallies his atheist troops / More attacks on Egyptian Christians / Muslim murdered because he refused to murder daughter
 
NEW FEBRUARY 24, 2011 CHAIRMAN'S REPORT- Issue highlights: Exclusive report from Iraq - Christians in Nineveh Plain try to survive / Congressman's plan to help Christians, other minorities / South Asia suffers Islamic attacks / Freedom on trial in Europe / Liberal media confused about Ground Zero mosque / White male Islamophobe plans to bomb mosque?  

PRESIDENCY 
ABOUT EGYPT MR. PRESIDENT - The number of dead and injured Christians in Egypt grows each day. Apparently the "democratic revolution" that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton supported in that nation just does not include any human rights for Christians. Hosni Mubarak was a dictator, but he was a secular dictator. Without that secular presence the imams of Egypt are directing the wrath of their faithful virtually every Friday toward the minority Christian population. What do we hear from the White House or the State Department about these murderous attacks on Christians? NOTHING!  
ABOUT DEMOCRACY MR. PRESIDENT - President Barack Obama has a very strange view of democracy, as do all liberals. Obama's definition of democracy goes something like this: "If we win an election, we pass whatever laws we want to and we enforce them. If conservatives win the election, we use force and mass demonstrations to stop them from passing and enforcing laws." In the liberal mind any law that is passed which they do not like, even if it is passed by a majority of the people at the ballot box, is fascist in nature; therefore, stopping its enforcement by any means, even by force, is justified.
 

THE CONGRESS 

ISLAMIC TERROR HEARING - Congressman Peter King, the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, began hearings this week on the "radicalization" of American Muslims. The goal of the hearings is to determine the cause of the dozens of arrests during the last two years of American Muslims who were planning terror attacks. The liberal media, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN and NBC, have whipped up such hysteria and hatred against Congressman King because of his honesty on the subject of Islam, that 24 hour security had to be put in place to protect him and his family. Yesterday I wrote a letter to Congressman King thanking him for shining a light on extremism in American mosques. My letter to King
 

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

WISCONSIN'S FASCIST LEGISLATORS - The liberals' definition of a fascist is a democraticly elected official who will not bow to the wishes of a violent mob. Last November the people of Wisconsin elected a governor and legislators who said, in advance, that they would reduce the debt of the state by cutting union benefits and wages of state employees. Unwilling to accept the election results, the left has staged mass disturbances, vandalized state property and made death threats against the governor and Republican legislators. While the media painted the peaceful gatherings of Tea Party members as dangerous, the violence of union members in Wisconsin for the most part goes unreported. SCHOOL BACKS DOWN, ALLOWS TEN COMMANDMENTS - On February 23, Jacob Agee and other students who are members of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes posted copies of the Ten Commandments on their assigned lockers. Very quickly thereafter, Principal Barry Hollandsworth and Assistant Principal Tony Deibler removed each copy. The Liberty Counsel then sent a letter to the Floyd County High School administration, requesting the reversal of their censorship of religious material posted by school students on the front of the students' own lockers. Liberty Counsel gave school officials two weeks to reverse course or face a federal lawsuit. As a result, Floyd County High School officials did reverse course and will now allow students to display the Ten Commandments on their own lockers. Read more
 

NO 911 MOSQUE!

IMAM FEISAL RAUF RALLIES HIS ATHEIST TROOPS - On Sunday, March 6th, Imam Feisal Rauf and his wife, Daisy Khan, rallied together leftwing nuts of all kinds, including atheists, for what was billed as an "I am a Muslim, too" protest against Congressman Peter King's efforts to investigative radical Islam. Imam Rauf, who was at one time the lead publicist for the Ground Zero mosque, refuses to refer to the Jihad attack on 9-11 as terrorism. He spoke to a crowd of what the NY Times claimed was about 300 people. Read more at no911mosque.org

INTERNATIONAL 

MORE ATTACKS ON EGYPTIAN CHRISTIANS - Violence against Christian Copts in Egypt escalated this week. A mob of 15,000 armed Muslims using Molotov cocktails, guns, and clubs, attacked Christians just outside Cairo. The Egyptian army, rather than restoring order, joined in the attack, shooting the Copts with live ammunition. So far ten Christians are known dead with hundreds injured. This attack came after Christians protested earlier attacks and church burnings in Christian neighborhoods. (See below)  
MAN MURDERED BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO MURDER DAUGHTER - This is Islam, this is a true story. Last week the father of a Muslim woman was killed by his cousin because he refused to kill his daughter to preserve the family's honor. (The daughter had a romantic relationship with a Christian man). The woman's brother then killed the cousin to avenge the death of the father. Got that so far? Imams then blamed both murders committed by Muslims on Christians. Hundreds of Muslims then attacked a Christian village killing innocent people, burning down homes and churches. When Christians near Cairo protested the attacks on the village and the murder of Christians they were attacked by the army (see above.) Read more
