Dear 0 for 4 Democrats

During the unconstitutional eight-year reign of Barack Obama, your party lost over a thousand governmental seats nationwide. You lost numerous governorships and state legislatures, some for the first time since the Civil War. You lost the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate and the White House… You also lost the trust of average working stiff Americans across the country.

Since then, you have lost four of four special elections as of Georgia’s 6th House District on June 20, despite record campaign spending and Republicans shooting themselves by running a dozen GOP primary candidates. Maybe it’s time for some introspective thought…

Can you become an “American” party again?

While socialist Bernie Sanders and his fans insist that your party must shift even further towards global Marxism, away from American principles and values of national sovereignty, security and individual liberty, maybe you should actually consider becoming an “American” party again…

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” – Declaration of Independence

How did your party drift so far away from the most fundamental American precepts?

We hold these truths to be self-evident? You think everything is subjective in nature and driven by political agenda alone. Nothing seems “self-evident” to you. Everything must be decided by an unelected and unaccountable oligarchy of lifetime political appointees or their surrogates downstream. Even the most obvious truths are rejected by you, when those truths do not suit your agenda.

That all men are created equal? According to you, this is not so. Some are created less than equal, namely your laundry list of less than equal special interest voting blocs, that you labeled “minority” groups with special rights to help make them “equal.”

That they are endowed by their Creator? You folks don’t even believe that any of us were created. You think we evolved from apes, or birds or fish. You not only refuse to acknowledge that there is a Creator, you attempt to block all public discussion of relative foundational doctrines within our Founding documents, especially in your re-education system.

With certain inalienable Rights? You openly deny that all Rights are “natural rights” endowed by that Creator and insist that our rights are alienable by men in congress and your British Common Law courts – ignoring entirely the following from our Declaration – “to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them…” – In your “world view,” all rights come from you and none are inalienable by you, as a result.

That among these are Life? The womb was once the safest place on earth for any infant child, but thanks to you folks, it is now statistically the most dangerous place on earth for any American child. You fail huge in the “right to Life” department! You own the “right to kill” agenda.

Liberty? Your party is even worse on individual Liberty than it is on the inalienable right to Life itself, if that’s possible. You have turned every federal asset intended to protect and defend the American people and the American way of life, against these people and their inalienable right to individual Liberty. You have replaced the right to individual Liberty with your right to take Liberty from some for the alleged benefit of others, enslaving both in that process.

The pursuit of Happiness? Your idea of happiness is undermining Constitutionally protected freedom, liberty, sovereignty and security for the American people with the pursuit of happiness for people in our country illegally, and the greater good of the global commune.

Your party has not only failed the American people in all of these basic precepts, you have become overtly destructive of these ends…

Can your Party become American again?

My opinion is, NO… you can’t. Your party is too far gone. Not only is it no longer of any use to the American people, it is an active agent for the global commune and destructive of all things American.

Because the American people have soundly rejected you and your anti-American ideas in election after election after election, you now employ “jihad” war tactics of targeting innocent unarmed Americans in soft zones like a baseball field, college campuses, inner city markets and malls. You provide aid and comfort to our enemies at the expense of American lives. Your entire party has become treasonous against the American people!

Because you have so completely failed all Americans in your anti-American pursuit of “social justice” for every non-citizen seeking to bring harm to America, including through your so-called “refugee resettlement” program for jihadists, your party is now on the brink of extinction.

Still, you don’t seem to get it! (Some Republicans don’t get it either)

It’s quite simple really…

  • When asked to protect human life, you protect the right to kill instead
  • When asked to protect Americans, you protect illegal aliens instead
  • When asked to protect our national sovereignty, you build a global commune instead
  • When asked to protect our borders, you attempt to erase our borders instead
  • When asked to uphold and enforce our constitutional laws, you seek to undermine them instead
  • When asked to protect our economy, you outsource our economy to benefit others instead
  • When asked to protect our 1st and 2nd Amendments, you attack them instead
  • When asked to respect the 10th Amendment, you act as if it doesn’t exist instead

I could keep going with this list for several pages, but hopefully, you can see your problem here. You are 180-degrees opposite of our founding principles and values and every American citizen. I’m shocked you can get any votes at all today, anywhere in America. If not for your dumbing-down efforts through your Common Core public re-education system and your mind-control over the weakest among us, you wouldn’t get a single vote anywhere.

So, what now for you?

If you allow the Bernie Sanders of the world to push your party even further left, that will be the final death of your party in this country. It’s over at that point… You should see that clearly by now, though I doubt that you do. Your collective heads have been fried, turned inside-out. You couldn’t be more backwards if your life depended on it.

Your only option for party survival at this late date is to purge your party of all anti-American global Marxists and rebuild from the ground up on American foundations. You don’t have any other options…

The odds that you will do this are worse than your 0 for 4 record in recent special elections. It’s time for the Democratic Party to join the ash-heap of history. Your future is hopeless in America. Voters across the political spectrum are no longer manipulated by your anti-American rhetoric or your campaigns based on nothing more than unfounded character assassination of your opponents.

It’s time for America to move beyond the Democratic Party of yesterday and towards a new second Party based on American principles and values. You really screwed up!

Handel wins handily, Democrats 0 for 4, pollsters wrong again

In an article titled Heavily Funded Democrat Falls Short as Georgia House Seat Stays Republican The Daily Signal’s Rachel del Guidice reports:

Republican Karen Handel soundly defeated Democrat Jon Ossoff in Tuesday’s closely watched, historically expensive race for the congressional seat once held by GOP superstar Newt Gingrich.

Handel, 55, a businesswoman who was Georgia’s secretary of state, had 127,021 votes or 53 percent with 99 percent of precincts reporting.

Ossoff, 30, a documentary filmmaker and former congressional aide who does not live in the House district, had 114,390 votes or 47 percent.

Polls had the race going down to the wire.

Ossoff out spent Handel by a margin of 7 to 1 and lost by 6%. Ossoff spent $200 for every vote he received. It’s the message not the money. President Trump’s message resonates as do his tweets supporting Handel. Presidential tweets cost Republicans nothing but win elections.

Additionally, conservative businessman Ralph Norman (R-SC) defeated liberal Archie Parnell (D-SC) in the special election for Congress in South Carolina’s 5th district.

There are four takeaway points from these four races:

  1. Trump and his make America great again agenda is a winner for Republicans.
  2. Money is no longer king when it comes to winning elections.
  3. The political pollsters still can’t get it right when it comes to predicting election outcomes.
  4. The Democrat Party is in big trouble and needs to rethink what it is doing at the local level. They are out of touch and out of office.

“This is a huge win for conservatives,” Cole Muzio, president of the Family Policy Alliance of Georgia, told The Daily Signal in an email. “A record-setting fundraising haul, busloads of out-of-state volunteers, and national unity around Jon Ossoff could not convince Georgians to vote against their own interests.”

There have been four hotly contested special elections where Democrats have lost. They have lost because voters are voting “in their own interests.” It’s the economy stupid, not Russia.

This race is just another indicator that President Trump’s agenda is in tune with voters. The question is will the Republican congress deliver on repealing and replacing Obamacare, lower taxes, eliminate the regulatory burden on businesses and build the wall.

If Republicans do what they promised the 2018 midterm elections will see America turn deep red.

VIDEO: Banned documentary on anti-Semitism in Europe posted on internet

Elder of Zion has published parts of a German documentary on anti-Semitism in the EU. Elder of Zion reports:

A chunk of the documentary on European antisemitism that was barred from being shown on TV has been translated and subtitles added, by the Vlad Tepes blog.

Here are the three parts released so far:

Today is the UN-designated World Refugee Day

The first World Refugee Day was held on June 20th, 2001 (3 months before 9/11) and it is used as a focal point, for open borders activists and leftwing media, around which to organize a political message.  So, you have probably noticed many stories in the last few days about the need for more third world peoples to be admitted to the first world.

Just to give you an idea, there are pages and pages of World Refugee Day logos like these around which to build propaganda campaigns (to guilt trip the West, especially the US, to take in more third worlders).

You likely know, but here (below) is a handy graphic to confirm that the US takes the majority of the refugees that the UNHCR is selecting for western countries from their camps. (BTW, recently a Somali man wrote to me to tell me about the fraud in a UN camp in Africa where people were being paid off to move certain applications to the front of the line. Of course, I have no way of verifying this.)

If you are scratching your head and saying, but doesn’t Germany take the most? the answer is that Germany is being flooded by ‘asylum seekers’ and economic migrants who have gone there on their own steam.  They are not considered third country refugee resettlement cases.

Germany will presumably sort through the hundreds of thousands of Africans and Middle Easterners and make a determination about how many will be given permanent residence as legitimate refugees and ultimately citizenship.

Favorite Open Borders talking point: small neighboring countries (to Syria) take more refugees.

When you see stories about Turkey (I’m posting one shortly) and their millions (?) of Syrian refugees, remember those are NOT people going to be granted permanent resident (citizenship) status in Turkey, likewise those in Lebanon or Jordan will not become voting citizens of those countries.

Resettled UNHCR refugees will be given citizenship in the country in which they are placed, so for this the United States is destination number one!

See here, from IRIN:

According also to IRIN yesterday, Canada is going to take up some of the 2017 slack that meany Donald Trump is supposedly responsible for.

LGBT Groups: Christians ‘Have No Place in Government’

In a Christian Post column Samuel Smith reports:

LGBT activist groups are outraged that the Trump administration’s Department of Education invited speakers from two prominent conservative Christian family organizations to participate in a panel discussion on fatherhood held in advance of Father’s Day last week.

Politico reports that experts from the Family Research Council and Focus on the Family were invited to speak at a day-long conference hosted by the Education Department that addressed how fathers can be engaged in their children’s lives.

Both FRC, headed by Tony Perkins, and Focus on the Family, led by Jim Daly and founded by James Dobson, are known for advocating in accordance with biblical beliefs on sexuality and the belief that marriage is only a union between one man and one woman.

However, the pro-LGBT advocacy group Human Rights Campaign believes that the organization’s’ beliefs in traditional marriage and opposition to same-sex marriage should make their employees disqualified from being given a government-funded platform to voice their views on marriage and family.

This sentiment was echoed by Senator Bernie Sanders during the questioning of Russell Vought, who was nominated by President Donald Trump to be Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget:

The First Amendment to the Constitution reads:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Groups like the Family Research Council and Focus on the family and individuals like Russell Vought, are exercising their right to exercise their Christian religion.

GLAAD has labeled the Family Research Council and Focus on the Family “anti-LGBTQ hate groups.” In April 2017 the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) had their Free Speech bus damaged. According to NOM:

LGBT extremists did everything in their power to prevent us from completing the #FreeSpeechBus tour to promote a national conversation on the biological nature of gender – including engaging in violence, property damage and acts of intolerance, as well as coordinating with anarchist groups – but I’m pleased to say that we overcame them and completed the tour this morning in Washington, DC.

NOM joined with CitizenGO and the International Organization for the Family (IOF) to sponsor the tour as a way of provoking a national discussion about the biological truth of gender and to hit “pause” on the headlong push by the left to redefine gender based on “identity” and “feelings.” Throughout the tour we encountered the ugly side of the LGBT movement, which repeatedly engaged in violence and assault, and inflicted substantial property damage, in a failed effort to derail the bus tour.

Shockingly, we also discovered the deep coordination that exists between Democratic politicians, LGBT groups and extremists, including anarchists who are bent on destroying civil society.

America’s public schools, via homosexual groups like the Gay, Lesbian, Straight, Education Network (GLSEN), have worked to recruit America’s youth to the homosexual lifestyle. GLSEN has used the mantra of bullying and ideology of diversity to gain access to our most vulnerable, our prepubescent children.

Only One Political Party Incites Violence

In response to a radicalized Leftist domestic terrorist shooting Republicans at a baseball practice, fake news media said both sides of the political aisle are guilty of inciting violence and should tone down their rhetoric. Disturbingly, in an attempt to sound bipartisan, conservative voices are parroting fake news media’s lie.

This both-sides-are-guilty-lie offends me folks. I have been a black Tea Party activist since 2009; spoken and performed my “American Tea Party Anthem” at over 500 rallies on 14 nationwide bus tours.

Never, I repeat never, have I witnessed language inciting violence coming from the stage or spoken in the crowds. The attendees were hard working salt-of-the-earth Americans. Many of them voted for Obama, but did not vote for him to drive us down the road to socialism.

As a matter of fact, rally organizers were extremely sensitive not to take our disagreement with the president too far. While performing on stage at a rally, I spotted a gentleman in the audience wearing an Obama vampire mask. I thought it was funny and pulled the guy on stage. Immediately, rally management escorted the guy off the stage and later reprimanded me.

While black attendance at Tea Party rallies grew over the years, in the beginning my black face was rare. Attendees repeatedly apologized to me explaining that they opposed Obama’s agenda and not his skin color. Bottom line, Tea Party attendees were good people who loved their country. They simply were opposed to Obama’s vow to fundamentally transform America away from her divinely inspired founding.

And yet, for 8 years, fake news media successfully branded the Tea Party the new KKK in the minds of low-info-voters.

In life there are good guys and bad guys. As a kid, I babysat my siblings after school until mom and dad came home from work. Jerry played in our bedroom building things. Just to be annoying, David would break whatever Jerry built which led to them fighting. Hearing mom’s key in the front door, they would greet her pleading their case. Tired, mom would punish both boys for fighting. I’d say, “But mom that is not fair. Jerry was minding his own business. David is the bad guy.”

Leftists are the bad guys who relentlessly spew hate 24/7, generating violence upon the America flag, whites, cops, Republicans, Conservatives, the rich, achievers and Trump supporters. Trust me folks, conservatives simply do not do that. For 8 years, the GOP was for the most part silent; submissive to fake news media’s ruling that negative comments and opposing Obama was racist.

Leftists’ radicalization begins as early as preschool. Public schools teach white kids that they are born racist, that they owe blacks and they should feel guilty because of their “white privilege“.

Black students are taught white Americans are instinctively racist, the deck is stacked against them and cops murder them practically on sight. Remember Democrats’ despicable ad telling blacks to vote or buy bulletproof vests for their kids to protect them from racist cops?

For far too long, anti-American 1960’s old hippies have dominated public education, teaching our kids that patriotism is racist and America is the greatest source of evil on the planet. 

After decades of filling American’s heads with hate-filled lies, Leftists act shocked when their disciples act-out violently; gunning down Republicans, Black Lives Matter assassinating police and attacking people for wearing “Make America Great Again” caps and t-shirts. 

It is not the nature of conservatives to disrespect our laws. Leftists routinely protest outside of the law, cuss-out and physically attack anyone who disagrees with them.http://bit.ly/2aWycvp

As a seasoned black Conservative activist, it has been my experience that our side desires equal rights for all Americans. We conduct orderly respectful protests, leaving rally sites cleaner than we found them. To divide Americans into angry voting blocs, Democrats tell women, homosexuals, minorities and underachievers that they are victims of America. At Leftist protest events, they f-bomb Trump from the stage and routinely destroy private property. They typically leave mountains of trash after inciting their attendees to commit violence. Leftists outrageously marched on a NY street chanting, “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want them? Now!” Conservatives could never conceive of doing such an evil thing. That is not how our side rolls.

It is foolish for Conservatives to nod in agreement with Leftists that say both sides are guilty of inciting violence and must modify their tone. This lie is another case of Leftists exploiting a tragedy to demonize and silence conservative speech. Conservatives must continue fearlessly telling the truth in love to educate low-info-voters and help Trump make America great again.

Illegal alien kills a 17-year old Muslim girl, discredits ‘open borders’ propaganda

Illegal alien from El Salvador allegedly murdered Nabra Hassanen a Muslim teenager walking with a group from the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) Center.

Diversity is supposed to be beautiful, right?  Immigrants who come to the great American melting pot are supposed to love and respect multiculturalism, right?  Unlike in Europe, we do everything to foster ‘assimilation’ of races, religions and cultures, right?

Well, here is a case that goes so far against the Left’s message that many predict it will disappear so fast you will think you imagined it …  This is not supposed to happen!

It is just run-of-the-mill road rage says Fox 5 headline:

Man charged with murder of Muslim teen; road rage appears to have led to killing, police say

HERNDON, Va. – A 22-year-old man has been charged with murder after police say he killed a 17-year-old Reston girl whose body was found in a pond hours after being reported missing during an early morning road rage incident in Virginia.

Illegal alien Darwin Martinez Torres (left); seventeen year old Nabra Hassanen (right)

Fairfax County Police say the victim, Nabra Hassanen, was with a group of teenagers of about 15 people walking and riding their bikes along Dranesville Road from a McDonald’s restaurant at around 3:40 a.m. Sunday. The group got involved in a dispute with the driver of a vehicle after they attended an overnight event at the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) Center, a mosque located in Sterling and is one of the largest mosque in the country.

Police say a teenage boy got into an argument with the driver, identified as 22-year-old Darwin Martinez Torres.

Continue reading here for awful details.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement regarding Torres [guess this means he was not a DACA darling?—ed]

“On June 19, ICE lodged a detainer on Darwin Martinez Torres, a citizen and national of El Salvador, with the Adult Detention Center in Fairfax, Virginia. ICE lodges detainers on aliens who have been arrested on local criminal charges when the agency has probable cause to believe an alien is removable from the United States. Mr. Martinez Torres has no prior encounters with ICE.”

[….]

On Monday afternoon, Fairfax County police say the killing appears to be the result of a road rage incident and they have no evidence that Hassanen was targeted.

“No evidence has been recovered that shows this was a hate crime,” said Fairfax County police spokesperson Julie Parker. “Nothing indicates that this was motivated by race or by religion.”

However, Mahmoud Hassanen, the victim’s father believes otherwise and says his daughter was targeted because she is Muslim.

Just a reminder readers that this is Virginia, a leading diversity-is-beautiful state if there ever was one! You can tell the authorities are working overtime to keep a lid on the story.

This is a story, not about refugees, but one about the idea that we can continue to pour immigrants (legally and illegally) of all sorts in to the US at such a rate that the tensions will inevitably build and become so disruptive to the social order that civil unrest is inevitable.

If you see more on this case going forward, please send links my way.

Common Sense Soapbox: Don’t Be PC, Be Polite by Seamus Coughlin and Sean Malone

As someone who fights on the side of free speech, I’m the first to tell ya, we do have a tendency to strawman political correctness. You may have heard things like “them snowflakes just don’t like being ‘fended” or “they want to suppress the truth!” and though I agree in PC cultures worst form all these things are true, those aren’t the actual arguments they make.

So let me arm you with the intellectual tools you need to successfully contribute to the discussion! And if you’re PC, listen with an open mind- maybe I can change it.

One argument they actually make is that “political correctness” is just a bogeyman term invented to lash out against polite society without seeming crude or uncivil. That what we call “political correctness” is actually politeness, and we just don’t wanna be polite!

But this is just plain wrong. There’s a difference between being PC and being polite, and I can prove it! Let’s look at an example: Jim and Jill.

The Motivations to Be Polite vs. PC

Jill doesn’t like racist humor because it offends others, and she doesn’t want to be a jerk. Jill is polite. Jim doesn’t like racist humor because he believes problematic social attitudes inadvertently contribute to the upholding of systemic power structures that strengthen systemic bigotry and subconsciously influence us to commit acts of violence.

Let me break it down. Jim believes when you say bad words, you contribute to negative social attitudes which cause others to commit acts of violence. For example, trans people have a high suicide rate. When you question modern gender theory, misgender somebody, or commit another similar microaggression, you contribute to a culture which marginalizes non-gender-conforming people, and increases their suicide rate.

This may sound convincing – until you realize this logic can be applied to any group if you’re willing to make the same kinds of assumptions. Veterans and soldiers have a very high suicide rate and aren’t well cared for. But we can still criticize US foreign policy and military action. We even burn flags.

Young men have a very high suicide rate as well. Should male-bashing be a hate crime? We can do all the same mental gymnastics to make either case, and whether or not you’re taken in by them, it’s clear that the motivations for being PC and just being polite are different.

Jill doesn’t want to upset or alienate anyone with her language. Jim believes stumbling across improper uses of language is tantamount to violence.

Jill is a nice person. Jim is an ideologue.

Jill is polite. Jim is PC.

Jill: I’m polite.

Jim: And I’m PC. You know, there’s no difference between us, really.

Jill: I don’t know about that. I mean I want people to be polite, I don’t wanna ban impolite speech.

Jim: Neither do I, that’s just an insane strawman argument. Name ONE country where PC folks have gotten ANY forms of speech banned.

Jill: You mean besides Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland…

Don’t be PC. Be polite!

MIGRATION: Death by Diversity

In 1965 Ayn Rand wrote,

“The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees… by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other – until one day when they are suddenly declared to be the country’s official ideology.”

One of the great uncontested absurdities, which has become the official ideology of today, is “diversity.”

In his June 18, 2017 Wall Street Journal article Europe’s Elites Seem Determined to Commit Suicide by ‘Diversity’ Douglass Murray writes:

From the 2000s legal and illegal immigration picked up [in Europe]. Boats regularly set out from Turkey and North Africa to enter Europe illegally. Syrians fleeing civil war pushed into the Continent, soon joined by people from across sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, the Middle East and Far East.

Today the great migration is off the front pages. Yet it goes on. On an average weekend nearly 10,000 people arrive on Italian reception islands alone. Where do they go? What do they expect? And what do we expect of them?

To find the answer to these and other questions it is necessary to ask deeper questions. Why did Europe decide it could take in the poor and dispossessed of the world? Why did we decide that anybody in the world fleeing war, or just seeking a better life, could come to Europe and call it home?

The reasons lie partly in our history, not least in the overwhelming German guilt, which has spread across the Continent and affected even our cultural cousins in America and Australia. Egged on by those who wish us ill, we have fallen for the idea that we are uniquely guilty, uniquely to be punished, and uniquely in need of having our societies changed as a result.

Former U.S. Army Chief-of-Staff General George W. Casey, Jr. after the Fort Hood slaughter on November 5th, 2009 said that this was a case of “work place violence” and that the real victim of the shooting were not the soldiers murdered by Nadal Hassan – rather it was “diversity.”

Ayn Rand warned, “There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.”

Diversity lies squarely in the middle.

GRADUALISM: The Strategy of the Tortoise

London’s Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan believes that terrorist attacks are part of living in a big city. REALLY? Why should Western cities and societies accept the barbarity of jihadis determined to conquer the West and impose Islamic sharia law? Mayor

Khan’s attitude of submission is extremely troubling. Is Mayor Khan part of Islam’s gradualism strategy that seeks to lull the West into a false sense of safety? Is Mayor Khan’s bizarre statement “I want to reassure all Londoners, and all our visitors, not to be alarmed. Our city remains one of the safest in the world“ part of Islam’s tactic of taqiyya? Or is Mayor Khan simply out of touch with objective reality and living in the politically correct dreamscape of subjective reality?

Whatever the answer, Mayor Khan’s attitude will never keep Londoners safe and this is why.

The Tortoise and the Hare

an Aesop Fable

One day a hare was bragging about how fast he could run. He bragged and bragged and even laughed at the tortoise, who was so slow. The tortoise stretched out his long neck and challenged the hare to a race, which, of course, made the hare laugh.

“My, my, what a joke!” thought the hare.

“A race, indeed, a race. Oh! what fun! My, my! a race, of course, Mr. Tortoise, we shall race!” said the hare.

The forest animals met and mapped out the course. The race begun, and the hare, being such a swift runner, soon left the tortoise far behind. About halfway through the course, it occurred to the hare that he had plenty of time to beat the slow trodden tortoise.

“Oh, my!” thought the hare, “I have plenty of time to play in the meadow here.”
And so he did.

After the hare finished playing, he decided that he had time to take a little nap.

“I have plenty of time to beat that tortoise,” he thought. And he cuddle up against a tree and dozed.

The tortoise, in the meantime, continued to plod on, albeit, it ever so slowly. He never stopped, but took one good step after another.

The hare finally woke from his nap. “Time to get going,” he thought. And off he went faster than he had ever run before! He dashed as quickly as anyone ever could up to the finish line, where he met the tortoise, who was patiently awaiting his arrival.

Slow and steady wins the race.

The Tortoise and the Hare is the story of gradualism and is a cautionary tale for Western societies interested in preserving their democracies and freedoms. The moral of the story is the essence of gradualism – Slow and steady wins the race.

European societies lead by left-wing liberal globalist leaders (the hare) are bragging about their tolerance, virtue, humanity, as they continue the mass importation of Muslim immigrants with cultural norms hostile to their own. The Europeans (the forest animals) are excited about the race and support their leaders   by welcoming the hostile immigrants to their forest. The Europeans believe in the superior abilities of their leaders and laugh with derision at the idea that the immigrants (tortoise) could possibly pose a threat.

Western societies are driven by speed – they believe that faster is better. Faster cars, faster computers, faster airplanes – speed equates with success in the West. Islam is not driven by speed. Islam is driven by ideology and plays the strategic long game of gradualism. 

Since the 7th century Islam has been a socio-political expansionist ideology with a religious wing. Islam has expanded and contracted over the last fourteen centuries depending upon its successes and failures but its mission remained unchanged – world dominion and the imposition of religious sharia law worldwide. The Ottoman Empire, carrying the mantle of Islam, lost most of its European territories until it finally collapsed in 1922 and the former empire was transformed into the nation of Turkey.

In 1938 the discovery of oil in Saudi Arabia changed everything. Islam was back in business and on the march again.

Oil wealth exponentially increased Arab buying power and its ability to bring Islam to the West disguised as a “religion like any other.” Islam went on a buying spree. Islam began buying political influence through lobbyists paid to ignore the blatantly anti-Western tenets of Islam embraced by the Muslim Brotherhood and every one of its hundreds of offshoots. Islam began buying academic influence through enormous donations and the purchase of endowed chairs and endowed professorships that allowed Islamists to influence curriculum and hiring practices. Islam began buying properties and building mosques and Islamic centers to advance itself. Islam began buying media outlets, television stations, movie studios, and then finally the Internet gave Islam the final vehicle it needed to spread its message worldwide to a generation of Western young people easily manipulated by the disinformation they were receiving.

Islam plays by the rules of gradualism and taqiyya – lying in the service of Islam. Islam is a supremacist ideology and considers “peace” to mean when all the world is Muslim. Islam also teaches that conquering non-Muslims (infidels) is an act of altruism because the infidels will then be brought into the superior light of Islam. Taqiyya has its own anti-infidel language and anti-infidel norms that the Middle East understands.

The West, dangerously ignorant of Islam, has been ill-prepared to oppose the Islamic campaign that seeks to conquer the West through gradualism and taqiyya and replace Western secular constitutional governance with religious sharia law.

Raymond Ibrahim of the Middle East Forum explains the language of Islam and the dilemma it poses for the West:

“Whereas it may be more appropriate to talk of ‘war and peace’ as natural corollaries in a Western context, when discussing Islam, it is more accurate to talk of ‘war and deceit.’ For, from an Islamic point of view, times of peace—that is, whenever Islam is significantly weaker than its infidel rivals—are times of feigned peace and pretense, in a word, taqiyya.

Islamic law unambiguously splits the world into two perpetually warring halves—the Islamic world versus the non-Islamic—and holds it to be God’s will for the former to subsume the latter. Yet if war with the infidel is a perpetual affair, if war is deceit, and if deeds are justified by intentions—any number of Muslims will naturally conclude that they have a divinely sanctioned right to deceive, so long as they believe their deception serves to aid Islam ‘until all chaos ceases, and all religion belongs to God.’ Such deception will further be seen as a means to an altruistic end.”

Central to understanding taqiyya and the principles of deceit is Muhammad’s famous utterance “War is deceit.”

According to Islam the world is still at war so deception is fully endorsed and has extreme implications for our new President Donald Trump. If President Trump intends to make America-first decisions in the Middle East he needs a translator because the Arab leaders speak “Islamic” English and not the same English that President Trump is speaking. Words like peace, terrorism, and extremism have very different meanings in the West than they do in the Middle East.

Former FBI counterterrorism special agent John Guandolo gives a brilliant explanation of the challenges President Trump is facing in his report:

“In his speech, which preceded President Trump’s comments, Saudi King Salman made many references to “terrorism” and “extremism” and the need to eradicate it from the planet.  Specifically, he said the world must  “stand united to fight the forces of evil and extremism whatever their sources are in response to the dictates of our Islamic religion…Terrorism is a result of extremism.”

When Muslim leaders use words, those words must be understood as they are defined in Islam, not as they are understood in the West.

“Terrorism” is defined in Islam as “killing a Muslim without right.” Under sharia Muslims may be killed if they apostatize from Islam, kill another Muslim without right, or if they violate any other law under sharia for which there is a capital crime. Otherwise, to kill a Muslim is to be a “terrorist.”

“Extremism” in Islam is to exceed ones ability – to move the Islamic Movement ahead too quickly, thus putting the Muslim ummah (global Muslim community) in danger because this risks losing muslims who do not understand their duties under sharia and exposing Islam’s true intentions to the non-Muslim community thus bringing violence upon Muslims – terrorism.

Saudi King Salman spoke at the summit yet he sent two messages:  one for the Muslims and one for the non-Muslims. Americans and the rest of the non-Muslim world heard the King say he is going to eradicate “terrorists” from the planet and thought he was talking about ISIS and Al Qaeda. The Muslim world heard that the United States was providing hundreds of millions of dollars and weapons to support the Islamic world’s effort to destroy anything on the planet that stands in the way of the complete implementation of sharia – a command from Allah in the command and reflected in the words and actions of Islam’s prophet Mohammad.

Therefore, since President Trump has already killed Muslims without right under sharia by ordering the U.S. military to launch strikes against Syria and elsewhere, Islam views him as a “terrorist,” and the Saudi King is speaking about the U.S. President and the United States when he says “Terrorism” must be eradicated.

The Saudi King was not referring to Muslims who bomb an arena in Manchester, England or kill Americans in an Orlando, Florida bar or Muslims who fight on battlefields in Iraq or Afghanistan when he uses the word “terrorist.”

Understanding this necessarily completely changes America’s perspective of what took place in Saudi Arabia last weekend.

The President of the United States is being given counsel and advice from U.S. officials who appear to lack any understanding of any of this, which will lead America’s to defeat. Exactly the Islamic world’s objective.”

Understanding Islam’s gradualism and taqiyya’s stealth jihad as it is practiced against the West exposes the mass immigration of Muslims into Europe as the Islamic war tactic called population jihad. Former radical Muslim Isis Abla identifies 8 distinct jihads being waged against the unsuspecting West: Population jihad, Media jihad, Education jihad, Economic jihad, Physical jihad, Legal jihad, Humanitarian jihad, and Political jihad.

While the West brags like the hare about its speed, tolerance, and moral superiority, the slow-moving tortoise speaking Islam’s deceptive language of taqiyya is confident his gradualism and creeping stealth jihad will win the race. The Tortoise and the Hare is a cautionary tale.

TAKE ACTION: Put the brakes on the refugee resettlement program

Thanks to reader Denise for making a very cool flyer to remind you to call your Washington representatives to counter the lobbying campaign by the refugee industry this week.  They are ginning-up thousands of calls to Congress in advance of World Refugee Day tomorrow.

This is a very handy way to get the phone numbers for your representatives.  I just tried it, and in addition to my reps in Washington, I received phone numbers for my state reps too!

Post is filed in ‘What can you do’ because you asked!

Judicial Secularists Attack Religious Freedom

On June 7, the U.S. District Court of the Middle District of Florida dealt the latest blow to religious freedom in our country.

The case arose from a request by Cambridge Christian High School, which had earned the opportunity to compete in the 2A division playoffs finals, to use the stadium’s public announcement system in prayer prior to the beginning of the game. The team’s opponent was another Christian school equally devoted to serving God and to conducting itself in His image with every activity it undertakes.

Citing issues of potential coercion and fearing that such prayer might be offensive to others, Dr. Roger Dearing, the executive director of the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA), declined the request.

Of course, in so doing, Dr. Dearing dismissed the fact that the same FHSAA had approved such a request in 2012. He also dismissed the national tradition of engaging in prayer prior to the start of a football game. And most astoundingly he ignored that both teams, meaning all parties involved, wished to engage in a unified prayer as one community under Christ.

Following the denial, Cambridge Christian brought the case to the judiciary for consideration. After all, they weren’t asking for the announcer to lead everyone in prayer. They weren’t asking for the FHSAA to buy new equipment. They weren’t even asking for the game to be delayed for one moment because, in point of fact, the two teams were going to pray on the field and in front of the fans anyway.

No. The only question they were asking was, “Hey, man, can I borrow your microphone?”

Court predictably quashed religious freedom

But almost predictably, the court ruled against religious freedom citing issues of perceived endorsement of religion by government and of the infringement praying might have on the rights of others (yes, this is not a misprint).

Every time I learn of a case like this, I am baffled at the extent to which the state squashes the public’s ability to pray in an open forum merely because of government’s presence. This catastrophic road upon which the Supreme Court of the United States has placed us suppresses our right to worship and to pay reverence to God — in direct violation of the original intent First Amendment.  It ignores the spiritual aspects of human existence, and most importantly, casts aside the foundational roles of religion and religious worship in our nation’s birth.

Repeatedly, I am told that the reason for following this road is the wall of separation between church and state espoused by Thomas Jefferson in his letter written on the first day of 1802 to the members of the Danbury Baptist Church.

But there is so much that runs counter to this assertion.

First, President Jefferson’s comment was completely extrajudicial in nature.

Second, the concept of a wall of separation between church and state has been tainted by the agenda-driven nature of the Supreme Court’s 20th-century opinions. Following the 19th-century Court’s introduction of Jefferson’s wall into the legal corpus, the first two 20th-century cases invoking it did so in an effort to keep the government from interfering with state-based, religious-supporting programs.

But in 1947, the Court changed direction to one that would inhibit, rather than support, religious worship. With its McCollum decision, the court prohibited Bible verses from being recited in public schools, and later, it struck down prayer in schools as well as the observance of even a bland and neutral moment of silence.

The subsequent deterioration in the nation’s moral posture and the breakdown in the family as a central societal unit are the predictable consequences of these actions.

An alternative route ensuring freedoms

But lost in these recitations is the overt bias the Court displayed in selecting Jefferson’s wall of separation in its interpretation of the First Amendment.

Let’s consider a few similarly applicable observations made by some of the nation’s foundational greats in equally extrajudicial fashion.  George Mason, in writing the Virginia Bill of Rights, wrote, “all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and. . . it is the mutual duty of all to practise Christian forbearance, love, and charity toward each other.” His proposed amendment was subsequently approved by the Virginia legislature, the same legislature Madison and Jefferson inhabited — a far greater weight of influence than one man’s personal letter.

Based on Mason’s language, would it not have been more appropriate for a 20th century court to hold that in interpreting the First Amendment we should recognize that our nation was created with the purpose of guaranteeing that all men be able to engage in Christian forbearance? If so, wouldn’t using a public microphone for spontaneously requested prayer be not only allowed, but encouraged?

Or how about using John Marshall, the most prolific justice in the history of the Supreme Court? When asked about the nexus of Christianity and the nation’s government, he wrote in a letter, just like Jefferson did, that, “The American population. . . is entirely Christian, and with us, Christianity and religion are identified. It would be strange indeed, if with such a people, our institution did not presuppose Christianity.”

Consequently, wouldn’t a more appropriate truism for the Supreme Court to follow in its interpretation of the First Amendment be that the United States of America, through its foundation and its culture, presupposes Christianity?

Or consider the observation made by Justice Joseph Story, one of the early members of the Supreme Court, who extra-judicially wrote, “My own private judgment has long been (and every day’s experience more and more confirms me in it) that government cannot long exist without an alliance with religion to some extent; and that Christianity is indispensable to the true interests and solid foundations of free government.”

From this, wouldn’t a more appropriate guide for the interpretation of the First Amendment be that Christianity is indispensable to the true interests, foundations, and existence of these United States of America?

Back the need for a legislative override

If any of these guides had been adopted instead of, or perhaps in addition to, Jefferson’s wall of separation, imagine how different American jurisprudence would be as it relates to religious liberty and our freedom to worship! Sharia law would be an impossible legal threat, and the concepts of love for one’s neighbor and respect for the dignity of man would be freely taught in our schools under the direct supervision of the community’s parents.

From this analysis a few conclusions may be reached.

First, there is no inherent reason for Jefferson’s wall of separation, at least as the courts apply it today, to be the only compass in interpreting the First Amendment of the Constitution. So long as all religious views are respected, the government can peacefully cohabitate with worshipers be they Christian, Jewish, or any peace-loving faith.

Second, neither the people of this great nation nor its elected representatives selected the road our nation has traversed regarding religious liberty. Instead, it was embraced by an oligarchy of legalists unaccountable to the will of the people.

Consequently, if it is true that the Courts have interpreted the Constitution in a manner inconsistent with the will of the people, then isn’t it up to We The People, as the true purveyors of the Constitution, to override an opinion of such a Court and reverse an ill-conceived opinion? We know, through their writings, that at least Jefferson and Madison would think so.

Truly, the road we are following regarding our religious freedom is nothing short of harrowing. It has diminished our sense of morality and has curtailed our abilities to teach our children that there are things bigger than themselves.

It is time for our country to navigate back to the road built upon Christian forbearance; the same road that would lead us to the shining city on the hill.

What You Should Know about My Good Friend, Republican Bill Coleman

William Thaddeus Coleman, Jr. died on March 31, 2017 at the ripe old age of 96. He was the most famous and most accomplished person you have never heard of and he was also a good friend of mine. I used to affectionately call him “my oldest son.”

I was told early in my life, “Never try to explain your vision to anyone, but rather invite them to stand beside you and see for themselves.”

That’s what Bill gave to me. Yes, I called him Bill, because he insisted that I do so. I knew Bill for almost half of my life.

This is why most people have little to no understanding of me and who I am. I have sat at the feet of some of the biggest names in sports, entertainment, politics, business, and religion, etc., and to be able to call people like Bill Coleman, Bob Mosbacher, Kenny Gamble, Dave Steward, Oral Roberts, Bona Malwal, Bill Duke, Bishop Macram, and Max Gassis friends is nothing short of amazing.

So, as I scoured the Internet and various media sites upon being notified of Coleman’s death, I was dismayed that neither the White House, nor the Republican Party’s leadership reached out to the family; or, at a minimum, issued any public statement of condolences to the family.

Adding further to my dismay was the silence of Black Republicans who have a media platform.

Unfortunately, most Republicans and most Blacks have no idea who Coleman was, but I did have the pleasure of him honoring him with the first Black Republican Trailblazer Award back in 2013. I think my event was his last public appearance.

Bill Coleman was born in Philadelphia in 1920. Though he had a middle-class upbringing, that didn’t shield him from racism and discrimination that every Black faced during that time. But, like most Blacks, he overcame.

His family, on his mother’s side, came from a long line of Episcopal ministers and was an intricate part of the Underground Railroad. Growing up, it was not unusual for the likes of W.E.B. DuBois and Langston Hughes to drop by the family home for dinner.

As these luminary figures of the Black community took time out for Coleman, he returned the same by making time for people like me.

According to his 2010 biography, “Counsel for the Situation: Shaping the Law to Realize America’s Promise,” Coleman graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania in 1941. He then attended Harvard’s Law School, but left to join the Army Air Corps; after his service, he returned to Harvard and graduated first in his class magna cum laude in 1946. He was the first Black to work on the Harvard Law Review.

He went on to become the first Black to clerk for a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Felix Frankfurter.

He accomplished all this after being suspended for a few days for cursing at one of his Germantown High School teachers who said to him, “Someday, William, you will make a wonderful chauffeur.” This is one of my favorite stories from him.

He was the second Black and first Black Republican to serve as a cabinet secretary for a president. President Gerald Ford chose him to be Secretary of Transportation in 1975.

Of all of Coleman’s accomplishments, the work he did with former U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall, will always be the most important to me.

Most people know about and celebrate former Justice Marshall; but most have little knowledge of Coleman.

Marshall was the first Black to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, but prior to that he worked with the N.A.A.C.P., when they were a “legitimate” civil rights organization. He was the face behind the historic legal case, Brown vs. Board of Education (1954) in which the Supreme Court ruled separate but equal was unconstitutional.

But, liberal Blacks have totally erased the role of William T. Coleman in this case. As a matter of fact, he actually wrote the legal briefs and put together the legal strategy for the case.

Coleman and Marshall were very dear friends, law partners and both lifetime members of the N.A.A.C.P; Both Black, one Republican and one Democrat.

I wrote a column in 2014 excoriating the civil rights community for insulting Black Republicans like Coleman, Bob Brown, Art Fletcher, Judge Sara Harper, etc., by leaving them out of the 50th anniversary celebration of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The bill was signed by then president, Lyndon B. Johnson. The event took place at the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin, Texas.

I was once asked by a reporter to define a trailblazer. A real trailblazer is like a candle. He consumes himself to enlighten the way for others. The more light a candle gives off, the less it becomes. That’s the essence of a trailblazer.

Coleman was one of America’s true candles of light. He spent a lifetime giving of himself so that America could live up to its promise of equality for all.

Though Bill’s candle was extinguished, his light still shines in the glow of the legacy he left us with.
