Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right, from the frame of their nature, to knowledge, as their great Creator, who does nothing in vain, has given them understandings, and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge; I mean, of the characters and conduct of their rulers. — John Adams, Dissertation on Canon and Feudal Law 1765

Rep. West: History Teaches Us About Islam

May 8, 2012   ·   By   ·   0 Comments

As usual, Rep. Allen West (R-FL) pulls no punches at the Reclaim American Liberty Conference.  He indicates that Islam, its goals and methods aren’t hard to figure out. It’s been doing essentially the same thing since the 7th Century when it was founded, not so much as a simple religion but what he calls a “theo-political belief system.” Since the days of its founder Mohammed, Islam has been a belief system built on conquest.

If you read the Quran and Hatith, you will find that Islamic terrorism is not a perversion of Islam as the politically correct among us claim, but rather the natural expression of Islam’s tenets.  Those peaceful Muslims among us who are not seeking the advancement of Shariah and the path of Jihad–and there are many–are heretics to Islam, not adherents.  They are akin to the “Christian” who calls himself a Christian but does not seek to live by the Bible, never shares his faith with a nonbeliever, indulges in the same carnal pleasures as any nonbeliever, and lives by the same ethical compromises (or outright capitulations) as any nonbeliever. In other words, such a Muslim is as much a “cultural Muslim” as what we know as the “cultural Christian” is actually a Christian.

As West points out, until we elect leadership in America that is willing to face up to this truth, “We will continue to chase our tail, because we will never clearly define who this enemy is.”

Sadly, party affiliation means little in determining who gets it and who doesn’t in this department. Despite the commendable job President George W. Bush did in defending America post-911, you will recall his repeated statements that Islam is a “religion of peace;’ I understand the practical reason he did this, but what of the harm that does to the truth? And let us not forget the head-in-the-sand approach of some “Republicans” here in South Dakota, either.

DOJ on ‘Gays’: ‘Silence Will be Interpreted as Disapproval’

J. Matt Barber

The only thing this Obama White House seems to generate is scandal. Well, here’s yet another to add to the growing list. In addition to the Benghazi cover-up, IRS targeting of political dissenters and the illegal seizure of media phone records, whistleblowers within DOJ have contacted Liberty Counsel to express grave concerns over this administration’s latest attack on freedom. Our sources have provided Liberty Counsel an internal DOJ document titled: “LGBT Inclusion at Work: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Managers.”

FrackNation: Setting the Record Straight

Bob Ellis

Looks like Zo and I have more in common than just conservatism. We both loved Battlestar Galactica (the old one) as kids, and thought Sheba was hot. But the frack they talked about isn't the kind of frack Alfonzo Rachel is talking about today: it's the fracking that produces more energy for us. I'm with him there, too. Zo discusses a film called FrackNation which dispels some of the anti-energy propaganda put out by the Left.

The Polls & What They Say

Carrie K. Hutchens

Polls, what do they tell us? Maybe a great deal and maybe only what a small group might think or wish those in power to think. But then... if one poll result doesn't agree with one's opinion... a search of the net will most likely turn up one that does. Amazing how that works.

‘Narcissist-in-Chief’ humiliates himself, yet again

Dr. Theo

When I saw the photo on The Drudge Report my reaction was the same as almost any other current or former member of the Armed Services—disgust. It reminded me of the Clintons who used uniformed military officers as servers to pass drinks and hors d'oeuvres at one of their White House gatherings.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964
