The Day
Beck Shook America
NoisyRoom.net Everything you want to know about Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial in articles, pictures, and videos. An estimated 200,000 to 600,000 people attended. Accurate count will be forthcoming. Oh, Al Sharpton held a rally in Washington too on the same day. Sharpton drew a whopping 3,000 attendees. It's a shame that ACORN couldn't have provided more busses or there would have been more - maybe as many as 3,100. Beck vs.
Sharpton: And the Winner Is…
Hot Air Green Room Whether by design or by accident, as claimed, TV and radio commentator Glenn Beck chose the date and place of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech to stage his “Restore America” rally this past Saturday. Whether it was a success is difficult to say, although if turnout is any indication, the event — which attracted somewhere between 200,000 and half a million followers — accomplished its mission. Obama
Hauls Arizona Before the UN Human Rights Council
ResistNet.com Apparently Barack Obama is not content to make a federal case out of his immigration feud with Arizona; he just made it an international one. The president’s first-ever report on U.S. human rights to the UN Human Rights Council contains a rich vein of offensive material. So far, one aspect has not been reported: our petty president used the situation to bash Arizona’s immigration law — and possibly transfer jurisdiction over the law from Arizona to the UN. Obama
administration reports to the UN on human rights issues in
U.S.
Canada Free Press The report is the product of about a dozen conferences held across the U.S. between January and April 2010. The participants of these conferences featured such luminaries as Stephen Rickard and Wendy Patten, from George Soros’ Open Society Institute; Devon Chaffee, Human Rights First; Andrea Prasow, Human Rights Watch; Imad Hamad (a suspected member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a Marxist-Leninist terrorist organization), American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee; Dawud Walid, Council American Islamic Relations; Nabih Ayad, Michigan Civil Rights Commission; Ron Scott, Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality; Osama Siblani, Arab American News; Shannon Minter, National Center for Lesbian Rights and Cynthia Soohoo, Center for Reproductive Rights, among others. US State
Department builds mosques in 27 countries
Dr. Laurie Roth - NewsWithViews.com What I have uncovered is unacceptable, obscene and should be fought at all levels by the American people. Our State Dept. is using undisclosed amounts of US tax dollars to build and renovate Islamic Mosques in 27 different countries. They do this under an ‘outreach’ program with the purpose of fostering ‘good will’ in Muslim countries. The state department will not reveal just how much they spend on overseas, foreign programs but a very reliable source told me most likely it is in the hundreds of billions. Here is the State Dept. List of Foreign Mosque Building Projects Aren't you glad your government is so helpfull and tollerant? AFL-CIO
Joins Communists, La Raza, ACLU, Other Unions in Voter Registration
Drive
First Things Looks like the AFL-CIO is no longer even trying to hide the fact that it no longer sports a traditionally American political outlook. The labor union has announced that it is joining a voter registration drive called One Nation Working Together. This coalition is filled with some of the most extremely leftist groups in America today including the ACLU, Enviro extremists, La Raza, Code Pink, various anti-war groups, and the Communist Party USA. This new move by the AFL-CIO finds hearty support from the People’s World newspaper, a publication dedicated to communism and the “direct descendent” of the communist Daily Worker newspaper. Expect massive voter fraud in November. Documentary to Reveal the Extent of 2008 Voter
Fraud
Pajamas Media I am a documentary filmmaker, a Democrat. During the 2008 primaries, I was asked by a former congressional investigator to watch for and document any voter fraud occurring in the Democratic Party caucuses. Complaints had been filed, claims that Hillary Clinton had won the popular vote but lost the caucus vote. What I witnessed in Texas — and later in many other states — were things I could never forgive. GOP
plans wave of White House probes
Politico If President Barack Obama needed any more incentive to go all out for Democrats this fall, here it is: Republicans are planning a wave of committee investigations targeting the White House and Democratic allies if they win back the majority. Everything from the microscopic — the New Black Panther party — to the massive –- think bailouts — is on the GOP to-do list, according to a half-dozen Republican aides interviewed by POLITICO. Under
Siege
Oliver North - Townhall.com TUCSON, Ariz. -- "We're under siege," said rancher Ed Ashurst as he pointed to where he had tracked the killer of his friend and neighbor to the U.S.-Mexico border. "Five years ago, we didn't even bother to lock our doors. Now my wife and I carry firearms everywhere we go." John Ladd is a fifth-generation cattle rancher in southern Cochise County, Ariz. The southern boundary of his family property is a 10-mile stretch of steel fence erected by the U.S. government. On the other side of the fence: Mexico. He told us, "Mexican drug cartels are running this part of America." Texas
fights global-warming power grab
The Washington Times The state's slogan is "Don't mess with Texas." But the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is doing just that, and at stake is whether the Obama administration can impose its global-warming agenda without a vote of Congress. President Obama's EPA is already well down the path to regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, something the act was not designed to do. It has a problem, however, because shoehorning greenhouse gases into that 40-year-old law would force churches, schools, warehouses, commercial kitchens and other sources to obtain costly and time-consuming permits. It would grind the economy to a halt, and the likely backlash would doom the whole scheme. Justice
Department Gives Second Ultimatum in Sheriff Arpaio
Investigation
ABC News Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the Maricopa County, Arizona, man who calls himself “America’s toughest sheriff,” has until Sept. 10 to comply with a Justice Department request to explain his office’s “operations, policies and procedures” involving the arrest and detention of Hispanics, according to a letter obtained by ABC News. An attorney for the Sheriff’s Office said he is preparing a response to Preston’s request but reiterated complaints that the Department’s allegations of wrongdoing remain unclear. Stimulus
Jobs Cost Taxpayers $195,000 Each
Gateway Pundit Not only was the Obama-Pelosi Trillion dollar stimulus a complete failure by every objective measurement, but each job it created cost taxpayers $195,000. A Government Accountability Office report released Thursday shows that the Department of Energy has spent more than $1.9 billion in stimulus funds to create 10,018 jobs through May, an average of $194,213 spent per full-time job created. Florida’s Marco Rubio… ‘We Must Repeal
Obamacare!’
First Things Marco Rubio is running for Senate in Florida. He is a former speaker of the Florida House of Reps and is currently leading in the polls in the Sunshine State. Some have been wondering if the national GOP was going to actually run on repealing Obamacare. Well, this is the official GOP address, Party approved, so I guess we have our answer. They certainly DO intend to run on repealing Obamacare. Muslim,
Christian, or Marxist?
Right Side News When questions came up during the campaign about Barack Obama's religious affiliation, his aides flatly asserted that he was a "practicing Christian" and was "baptized" in the Trinity United Church of Christ. However, some of the same questions have come up again in the wake of opinion polls finding people confused about Obama's religious identity. Our media cannot understand the confusion. While Obama may have been a Muslim by birth, that doesn't mean that he accepts the Muslim faith or philosophy. Instead, Islam may be seen as just another religion/ideology that can be used for his own political purposes. The case for Obama being a Marxist is far more convincing. 9/11
MOSQUE IMAM BOASTS, "Obama's historic speech in Egypt came from
me!"
SpecialGuests.com The Shoebat Foundation has obtained a shocking audio recording of Rauf's own voice boasting in Arabic that Obama’s historic speech in Cairo was provided by the Imam's work with the Cordova Initiative in what the Imam called “The Blue Print” which, according to him, was the solution to the Islamic-American divide. Rauf claimed that Chapter 6 of the Imam’s work engineered by the Cordova Initiative was the construct for the entire speech: “This is an example of the impact of our work in a positive way to be used by the President.” "The blue print," Rauf elaborated, included everything from U.S. policy to Jewish and Christian relations with Muslims. Soros
Has a Pastor Close to Obama On His Payroll
American Thinker The tangled web woven by George Soros served as a safety net for Barack Obama when he needed rescue from the exposure of Jeremiah Wright as an America-hating radical. Pastor Jim Wallis lied about receiving money from George Soros's Open Society Institute. When the Jeremiah Wright scandal erupted, candidate Barack Obama had to find religion -- fast. Fortunately for him, he had a backup pastor in place and ready to go: Jim Wallis. Apparently, Obama felt right at home with Wallis. Islamists Threaten Suicide Bombings in Florida to Avenge “Burn
a Koran Day”
First Things If you didn’t already know, Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida will call for Sept. 11 to be an “International Burn a Koran Day.” Provocative? Yes. Inflammatory? Absolutely. Bridge-building? No. Act of good faith? Uh…no. Necessary to put “Islamic tolerance” to the true test? Abso-freakin-lutely. The Muslim community has a great opportunity here…sure they’ll be rightly offended by this provocative act, but it should be used to show their tolerance for freedom of speech. Show the world that you actually ARE a religion of peace…Good luck with that! Obama
Knew He Was Killing Thousands Of Jobs With Drilling
Ban
Flopping Aces Two months ago Federal Judge Martin Feldman threw out the Obama ban on deep-water drilling citing the huge effects this ban will have on the regions economy.A new report today from the Wall Street Journal not only backs up Feldman’s claim of a destroyed economy, but also describes how Obama knew….absolutely KNEW….that tens of thousands of jobs would be lost and they still went ahead with the ban anyway. Knowing Obama as we do now he probably figured these 23,000 people would be better off getting unemployment checks. What better way to get them hooked on federal freebies while gaining some Democrat votes right? New
Microbe Discovered Eating Gulf Oil Spill
FoxNews.com A newly discovered type of oil-eating microbe is suddenly flourishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Scientists discovered the new microbe while studying the underwater dispersion of millions of gallons of oil spilled into the Gulf following the explosion of BP's Deepwater Horizon drilling rig. And the microbe works without significantly depleting oxygen in the water. This microbe thrives in cold water, with temperatures in the deep recorded at 5 degrees Celsius (41 Fahrenheit). Maybe this explains why the new TV commercial spokesman for BP is still flying around the Gulf looking for oil, but can't find it. Maybe it's time for him to go home. The
Government Can Use GPS to Track Your Moves Time.com Government agents can sneak onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go. That is the bizarre — and scary — rule that now applies in California and eight other Western states. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which covers this vast jurisdiction, recently decided the government can monitor you in this way virtually anytime it wants — with no need for a search warrant. It is a dangerous decision — one that, as the dissenting judges warned, could turn America into the sort of totalitarian state imagined by George Orwell - and welcomed by President George Soros. | ||

It is rare in any
age that a single book can so comprehensively document and analyze a
historical movement as to be capable of defining it. In the aftermath of
World War II, which shattered western civilization to a degree
unparalleled in history, it was William Shirer’s monumental “The Rise and
Fall of the Third Reich” which cohesively linked the chain of events that
led to the nightmare of Hitler’s Germany. Yet Shirer’s work came as a
heartrending post-mortem of the European War, explaining to a yet
unbelieving world how such an atrocity could have unfolded in its midst,
among ostensibly “civilized” people.

There
is an old adage which says that man exists in a continuum. He goes from
bondage to faith, from faith to hope, from hope to courage, from courage
to freedom, from freedom to abundance, from abundance to complacency, from
complacency to dependency, and from dependency back to bondage. The
original author of the adage is not known, but it matters little who said
it. What matters is whether or not it is an immutable truth and whether or
not American “exceptionalism” might allow us to bypass the ugliest stop on
that continuum.

Recent polling
results would have our attention
pulled toward the issue of Obama’s faith; is he Christian or Muslim? The
answer would have to be, neither; Obama is a statist and has no faith in
anything other than big government, bigger government and eventually total
government.There’s an old lawyer joke which
goes, “How do you know when a lawyer is lying? — His lips are moving.” The
same holds true for Obama; but it’s no joke and nobody’s
laughing.

Just before London morphed into
Londonistan and became the hotbed for international terrorism, the Muslims
in the UK cowed the Brits into submission by calling them “bigots” who
were being “intolerant” of their “Religion of Peace.” If you don’t believe
me, check out Melanie Phillips’ heavily footnoted book, Londonistan, which
spells out with Windex-like clarity how our cousins across the pond fell
under the PC spell, got neutered and now have a Muslim mess on their
hands. This book will wake you the heck up regarding what’s going on right
now in NYC … I ga-ron-tee!

Marcus Tullius
Cicero, who was born in 105 B.C. and was beheaded by Antony's soldiers in
43 B.C, writes in On the Laws, “Law was neither a thing to be contrived
by the genius of man, nor established by any decree of the people, but a
certain eternal principle, which governs the entire universe, wisely
commanding what is right and prohibiting what is wrong.” In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson echoes this
eternal truth when he explains that the function of government is to
secure God-given rights. How do we know about these
rights? Cicero explains that the supreme law is “the
mind of God” and that from the moment of our existence, through our power
of reason, God incites us to do good and deters us from evil.

The controversy
surrounding the Park 51/Cordoba House project – promoted by the Cordoba
Initiative and headed by Feisal Abdul Rauf – is one that illustrates the
full range of the ideological clash between the Islamic culture and the
culture of the West. Whether Liberals, Progressives and apologists care to
admit it or not the fundamentalist Islamist factions of the Arab world are
actively attempting to advance their influence on the world; in every
nation and every culture. In their attempt at establishing an elevated
influence around the world this fundamentalist faction seeks not to be
accepted as equals or to assimilate, but to enter into foreign cultures as
a privileged and exempt
class.

Given the
far-reaching implications of illegal immigration, and more recently the
Left's objections to enforcing immigration law in border states like
Arizona, the 14th Amendment of our Constitution is receiving some
long-overdue attention.Like every contemporary
political debate, the questions raised concerning the meaning of the 14th
Amendment are, essentially, about whether we are a nation subject to Rule
of Law codified in our Constitution, or we are subjects under the rule of
men, subject to a "living constitution" amended primarily by judicial
diktat and legislative mischief, rather than amended by the people, as
prescribed in Article
