RELIGIOUS RADICALS - WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?

Representative King, from New York no less, has taken on a task that is long overdue. He heads the committee on The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community - and that Community's Response. "I want to show the extent of that radicalization, how it happens. Also whether or not the Muslim community is fully cooperating".

Since initiating this committee, he has had to increase his security because of all the threats to his life and his family. Many of the threats are coming from overseas.

Representative King intends to invite a variety of speakers so his committee can get a real feel for the facts. Many of those invited, represent the Muslims in America, yet there is this movement to trump up charges of racism against him. This begs the question: If Islam is a religion of peace, why all the threats and why not just participate to prove it is peaceful? Muslim participants certainly should be able to give an insiders view of the religion, so how about just becoming a part of the proof of your reasons that radicalization is not originated from within the tenets of the religion?

I do know this, I can't think of another religion that encourages its members to strap on suicide vests, or smash planes into towers, or call a Jihad against a cartoonist. It makes little sense that all of this adds up to peacefulness, but if radicalism is not started within the framework of the religion, than we certainly ought to find out how it does get started and both Muslim and non-Muslim should want to put an end to it.

It is my hope, and I'm certain Representative King's, this committee will find the answers to Muslim radicalism and perhaps then we can all put an end to it and save lives in the process and in the future. I also hope those who make a pretense to being the most outraged by such a committee, will cool their jets and become a part of the solution and stop being a part of the problem. Radical Islam IS a problem that needs to stopped. If the committee can point to a certain sect or organization that merely uses Islam for their dastardly deeds, that in and of itself will help everyone involved. Without this committee, nothing seems to be solving the radicalization problem; not from without nor from within the religion, and I think it would be in the Muslims best interest to solve this problem. After solving the problem, Islam could go on to flourish, free of all the doubts most non-Muslims have.

I say let's support Representative King; the world will be a better place if we can only pin-point the problem and fix it.

JIHADISTS ARE THE SOLDIERS OF ISLAM

Let's do this again; I am sick and tired of the "pundits" who are afraid to call a Jihadist, a Jihadist. They are so "politically correct" that America is on the verge of being overwhelmed both from within and without, because guys like Heraldo want to step so gingerly around the facts so as to label a Juhadist, a murderer or a confused individual, acting alone.

America has people in the Air Force, Navy, Army and Marine Corp. who are trained and expected to defend this country when called upon. These people are called "soldiers", and they represent America in various parts of the world, under a variety of circumstances. Americans number in the 300 millions, but our soldiers are merely a small number of us. None the less, America is protected and defended by these people and as citizens of America, we all "expect" this from them.

Jihadists are the soldiers of Islam and are "expected" to perform their function as their leaders dictate; attack and help bring in the Caliphate. In both cases, the soldiers are a small number of the citizenry they represent, but they are called upon to do the bidding of the country or in the case of Islam, countries, they represent. In America, we have an orderly, regimented line of military personnel numbering in the hundreds of thousands, who are called upon to perform their duties as the military leaders outline to our government; in Islam, ALL Muslims are called upon to create terror and to kill all none Muslims anywhere and everywhere in the world (and there are 2 billion Muslims) without the benefit of military leaders outlining a strategy. For them, it is simply a matter of overtaking the world, and as we see "uprisings" in various parts of the world, more and more of these uprisings can and will occur, leaderless collectively, but with the same goal in mind; kill the infidel and create a caliphate that will rule the world. As these uprisings increase, so will the "soldiers" increase. For Muslims, these people are called Jihadists. Some act alone, in selected places, others act as a group; for some the fewer involved in any specific activity, the better. But as their activities increase their numbers will increase so in time we will see them as a large number of Muslims doing the work of their  religious leaders, albeit, without a military type of leader. One of their motivators is the 7 virgins they'll get in heaven for their having died while in the prospect of overtaking the world, and as they succeed, their numbers will increase because more of them will come to believe they are on the verge of being successful. Suicide, is one of their tools or strategies to kill "infidels". They've performed these suicides throughout the world and most prominently in Israel, and usually with the suicidal "soldiers" they yell "Allahu Akbar".

Heraldo, wants Americans to believe that someone like the goof ball that shot those people in AZ is no different than those the rest of us are calling terrorists. To him, anyone that kills is a terrorist OR none are and the rest of us have no right labeling anyone who commits murder, a terrorist. He, and others like him, cannot see the difference between a crazed killer and a terrorist; a Jihadist that has a world view purpose in what he is doing. The shooting of a Congress woman in AZ along with a Judge and several others is the work of a deranged individual; that particular incident is not considered a terrorist activity by those of us who are trying so hard to show the difference. The killer did not even yell "Allahu Akbar" before he did his deed, BUT there are those who DO yell "Allahu Akbar" and we consider those terrorists or Jihadists striving to bring in the Caliphate and eliminating the world of "infidels".

Do not be comfortable with your lack of understanding; there is a Muslim attack on the world at large. It is being done by the soldiers of Islam, and they are Jihadists. Jihadism is real, it is growing and it is here in America and if we do not treat it as a threat to our way of life, it will over take us. We are being lulled to sleep by people like Heraldo, who are trying so hard to be politically correct and not offend others. IT IS WHAT IT IS. Let's stop treating these Jihadists like common criminals. They have a purpose; they have a goal, and we will lose our part of the fight if we don't make ourselves aware of the truth.

OH THOSE GRAND OLE SENATORS

To quote the "Mail online News":  

"Our tough fight with the Obama administration shows it was not keen on letting the American people know that TED KENNEDY, one of Obama's leftist politician hero's, liked to hang out with communists and prostitutes".

"The statements previously withheld, include accusations that during a tour of several Latin American countries he "made arrangements to rent a brothel for the entire night".....

Do you remember the anguish and mental suffering of those people who just adored ole Ted, after his death? And how he got a national funeral, because after all he was the Lion of the Senate and did so much good for this country.

Americans have stooped to a new low. They allow themselves to "pant" after the powerful who use their office to advance their own desires and debauchery. I've heard Rush on the radio refer to the "waitress sandwich" that good ole Ted and Chris Dodd would occasionally order. And recently a congressman was asked to resign because he was twittering partially naked photo's of himself. This is just a minute portion of the kind of perversion and debauchery going on in the houses of power, in the United States, and we keep re-electing these goof-balls, as if to say we either don't care or we do care and we encourage their behavior.

But I have always wondered why so much is made of a dead Senator. What makes these people so high and mighty that they deserve a national funeral? As we consider the next possibility, let us start right now looking into the behavior of every Senator and the kinds of bills, pork barrel, and influence peddling they have done and are still doing, then we can determine if America wants to eulogize these miscreants, at the tax payers expense.

To me, national funerals for Senators is the epitome of a warped citizenry that lines up for blocks to see a funeral spectacle of a Senator that has bilked millions from tax payers, and used his elected office for personal gain and depravity.

WE ARE BEING DESTROYED FROM WITHIN........BY OUR NEIGHBORS

Presidents appointing Czars; organizations given power to regulate business and the public (EPA, OSHA, etc.); unions; Board of Education; Clear water and Air, it goes on and on, departments and organizations designed to control the American public, with jobs and positions given to congressmen and senators who lost elections. A Constitution no one adheres to, and amends without the proper procedures, this is what has given us the USA we have today..

Originally, Federal Senators were supposed to be chosen by the legislators of each state (article I section 3)  not popular vote: The Vice President was the person who got the second most votes (article II section 1); Congress, not a "Federal Reserve" has the power to borrow money etc. (article I section 8); other than a Navy, there is no Constitutional authority, in the original, to have an Army, Marine Corp or Air Force (which is why there has to be a budget approval for each military branch), but it does allow for a Militia, or you might want to consider the National Guard as a Militia. In the original, the Constitution had in mind a country governed by the people for the people, but through the years, uneducated people have been duped into giving away the power the Constitution gave them. Even the National Senators gave themselves perpetual pay raises by circumventing the Constitution and no one led an opposition to that despicable act.

Next came the unholy alliances with lobbyists and unions, both organizations that further dictate what the rest of us WILL do; and we keep re-electing these thugs even though they admit they "bring home the bacon" to their constituents especially through earmarks and pork barrel spending; that process by which one Legislator casts a vote for anothers' bill, IF the first Legislator would only allow the second to add an amendment to take a bunch of money to their state (to assist in their re-election). If we adhered to the original Constitution, no National Senator would be able to do that, he would lose his position which is also allowed in article I section 5.

Federal Judges are to serve at the discretion of the National Congress, as it sees fit. Ergo, a Federal Judge can lose his position by merely deciding that position is no longer needed, and of course for poor behavior, which I think can be determined by their rulings, against the Constitution (article III section 1).

And today, we have a President that does not abide by the Constitution; Obama is still funding the growth and agencies for his health care program even though a Federal Judge ruled it unconstitutional; no matter, the people either don't know or don't care that the President is openly defying the Constitution he swore to uphold. And there are other areas this particular President ignores the Constitution (orders his Department of Justice to ignore blacks when they threaten voters, for instance) but he is not alone. George Bush got the Senate and the House of Representatives to vote to attack Iraq without declaring a war, and to fund the idea of "democracizing" that nation....where does the Constitution speak to that activity?

Except the people of the United States stand up and force our politicians back to the Constitution in its original form, this country is on the precipice of a dictatorship, which ALL democracies eventually devolve into, because as is outlined above, the country is no longer governed by the people for the people, but by a few groups and organizations who dictate and determine what the rest of us will do and pay.

PUBLIC EMPLOYEES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO UNIONIZE

By now you've had your share of all the blah, blah, blah from both sides concerning public employees in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, and even New Jersey. But let's look at more than the surface, but the depth of the financial problems in those states and every other state that allows unionizing public employees.

I don't have any of the figures, but let me present you with more of the costs that have not been discussed:
When an employee retires, he or she gets a substantial amount of money, PLUS medical coverage, PLUS cost of living adjustments. When someone retires, a person has to be hired to replace the retiree at the position they had, so now 2 people are getting paid for the same job, both getting "raises" or adjustments and increased benefit packages, so the new employee will actually receive more money and more benefits than the person they are replacing. And remember ALL of this is paid for by tax payers, who themselves are trying to save for their retirement and medical expenses until they die, and who in many cases, have lost their jobs and/or homes. Their unemployment benefits are taxed, to continue to help pay for those public employees who rarely get laid off, and can retire at around age 55. We live longer today, thanks to modern medicine so those retirees who do retire at 55 will probably live to 75 or 80, and in some cases longer. SO, tax payers are paying for some 30 years to one employee while paying even more for the employee who replaced that retiree. Confusing? Shouldn't be.

It is really very simple. Tax payers are the middle class workers of the USA and are paying the lions share of so many other people even those who are gainfully employed.

Is it any wonder why you and your family struggle so hard to make ends meet? What could you do with the taxes you are paying to employ a person who, today, DEMANDS that you give them what they think they are entitled to? Don't forget the legislators, they too get your taxes as wages and a pretty darn good retirement after only 10 years of service (usually 50% of their salary), but instead, they won't even do what you are paying them to do; if they don't agree, they just decide to not show up, and still get paid. What the heck is going on here?

We are a Republic, run democratically; what is happening is socialism where public employees and politicians rule, when they want to, the way they want to, and the middle class is left to pay for all the immaturity with which they govern.

It is my hope, America can still stand tall as a country where anyone, and everyone has a chance to prosper and even get wealthy, if the individual has an idea and works hard. Individualism is what we are all about, not collectivism. Freedom from unnecessary taxation; freedom of religion; freedom to be able to prosper without the encumbrances of being forced to support others; freedom to do with our hard earned money what we decide to, not what others decide we should do with it. This is America, not Europe. We are the example to the rest of the world, instead, lately, we are letting the rest of the world be our example.

People, get a grip. Life is not paying for the desires of others. Life in America, is where everyone else in the world wants to be, don't give the country away, no matter how long the wrongs have existed. It has to stop!
