		<description>Actually, I think Joan of Arc must have been about that age when she became inspired to fight for her country.  Thanks, for the compliment.  It must really anger you little boys that a woman could have more strength and determination than you because you always accuse us of either being immoral or attack our feminity when we express our opinions.  Actually, I think you and the mullahs have a lot more in common than you realize because you can&#039;t stand it when a woman challenges your authority.  You will, no doubt, dislike that I am going to direct eveyone&#039;s attention to the  the Waxman-Markey Cap &amp; Trade fiasco pending in the House this week and the looming machinations of Obie/Treasury/Congressional scoundrels to give extraordinary powers to regulate our economy to a world banking authority made up of international bankers much like the non-governmental &quot;Federal&quot; Reserve.  Ordo ab chao.  First they built it up, and then they tear it down.  First they create chaos, and then they provide order.  Maximum chaos causes the little people to cry for maximum order. Move along now folks, and don&#039;t pay any attention to that man behind the curtain who is pulling Obies strings.</description>

Obama is a secret Muslim. Ha. Another in a tall, flimsy house of cards that has keep the conservative people going since 2000. Self-deception is such a pitiful sign of weakness.</description>

		<description>CONNECTING THE DOTS

So the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department will be sponsoring a booth at the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) convention on July 5th.  Apparently the feds are attempting to assuage and improve relations with the Muslim community.  On the surface this kind of governmental outreach appears worthy—mending relations, building friendships and such—and it seems difficult to condemn.  It’s simply an isolated, singular event, a dot if you will.  Or is it?  I’ve noticed liberals seem to have difficulty with the childhood game of connect-the-dots.  Whether the dots, once connected, reveal an angel or a terrorist, our leftist friends inevitably seem to end up with a flat line.  Let me add a few more dots to this seemingly benign event, so we might see a bigger, more definitive picture.

      When you scrutinize the ISNA, you might note their president, Dr. Ingrid Mattson, a born-again Muslim who got her P.H.D. in Islamic Studies at (of all places) the University of Chicago.  She was at the same U of C campus, at the same time, as Palestinian-American Rashid Khalidi, once head of AAAN (the Arab American Action Committee).  During this period, Khalidi, a Jew-basher and one-time PLO spokesman for Yassar Arafat, was director of the University’s ‘Center for Middle Eastern Studies’, a popular gathering spot for campus Islamic and middle-Eastern students.  This is the same Khalidi who openly admits he was a close neighbor and longtime friend with both Barack and Michelle Obama, as well as their other nearby neighbors, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.   It’s also the same Khalidi, who organized a political fundraiser for Barack Obama, and who accepted $75,000 for his AAAN, from Ayers and Obama, when the two sat side by side dispensing funds, as deliberating board members on the Woods Fund of Chicago.  

     Mattson is a vocal critic of Israel, she rationalizes Taliban actions against women, she is a traditionalist on Sharia law, and she likens Christians who criticize radical Islamists to Osama bin Laden.  Her ISNA publication matches her personal views:  “The hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say, “O Muslim!  There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him”, and, “I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim.”  

 
     On August 24, 2008, Ingrid Mattson was one of four keynote speakers chosen by Barack Obama to speak and pray, at an inter-faith gathering at the Colorado Convention Center, during the last Democratic National Convention.  As if that wasn’t enough of a testimony to hypocrisy, on January 21, 2009, Ingrid Mattson was chosen yet again, along with other clergy, to deliver an inaugural prayer during the Presidential Interfaith National Prayer Service, at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.  Incredulous as it sounds, the Obama administration wants its federal employees to put on a happy face, and go meet-and-greet Ingrid.  

      Added to this, a couple of months ago, the Obama administration quietly worked with U.S. Representative Keith Ellison, the Muslim Democratic congressman from Minnesota who was sworn into office with his hand on a Quran, along with J. Saleh Williams, program coordinator for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association, to ‘fast track’ a fairly long list of possible Muslim appointees, for employment consideration in the new administration.  I haven’t been able to find any evidence of the administration searching for any Christian, Jew, Buddhist, or Sikh, (never mind a list of them), but I’m still looking. 

     Also, early into his new job as Commander-in-Chief, Obama asked a federal judge to toss out a $6.6 billion class-action lawsuit against Iran, brought by the fifty-two Americans held hostage 30 years ago at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.  The American diplomats and military personnel were held by a group of Islamic students, including the current Iranian leader, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is now bludgeoning his own protesting citizens to death in the streets.  The captive Americans attested to brutal beatings, lack of food, minimal clothing, and non-existent medical care.  I regret they couldn’t have been housed at Guantanamo Bay, where they would have received all that, plus an exercise yard, showers, prayer time, a Bible, and Red Cross visits.  I&#039;m wondering if it&#039;s just me connecting the dots, or is anyone else beginning to get the picture?</description>

		<description>47 systeMFailure: &quot;OReally’s tack is to discredit the messenger instead of debating the issue.&quot;

Not really.  I think his &quot;12 year old girl&quot; analogy was quite apt.  Calling a moron a moron isn&#039;t really &quot;attacking the messenger.  It&#039;s called being accurate.  

And since when did you nutters give a rats patootie about discrimination and oppression of women?  

Oh, I love your last sentence.  &quot;That Americans can exercise their right to question what their government does is something we have seen is sadly lacking in the mullahocracy of Iran.&quot;  Ummm...wasn&#039;t that considered Treason amongst the wingnuttery for the last 8 or so years?  Sounds to me like you righties and the &quot;mullahocracy&quot; have so much in common.</description>

		<description>The discrimination and oppression of women and children in fundamental Islam should concern every fair and freedom-loving American.  OReally&#039;s tack is to discredit the messenger instead of debating the issue.  When the DOJ either spends as much time and manpower on currying favor and dispensing their legal advice to the Mormon, Hindu, Apostolic, Jewish, Wicckan and other religious communities at their cultural events on 4th of July holiday OR dismisses preferential treatment of any and all religious communities, then taxpayers will shut up.  Until then, as long as the taxpayers are supporting the DOJ and this &#039;volunteer&#039; outreach (specious terminology), we have a right to question why a religious community tied to terrorists and with a well-demonstrated history of recent human rights abuses, civil right abuses and racism requires such special service from the DOJ.  I don&#039;t remember Eric Holder being as &#039;supportive&#039; of recent requests for a Quo Warranto investigation into President Who&#039;s dual British/American citizenship at birth as he has been to Muslim thugs at polling places in Philly, terrorists at Gitmo, and ISNA.  Conflict of interest seems to be a phrase that sums it all up, imho.  But, OReally, since we&#039;re on the topic of shortages, at least the value of aluminum has appreciated more than the price of the white cloth needed to make the pacifist&#039;s flag.  That Americans can exercise their right to question what their government does is something we have seen is sadly lacking in the mullahocracy of Iran.</description>
