Meditation For Memorial Day

An exquisite essay appeared in the Washington Post for Memorial Day. Please take time to read and meditate upon the words and sentiments below:

I stand under an aged oak, and the rows of simple white headstones extend in their heart-stopping sweep across the Virginia hills of Arlington National Cemetery. Each stone sentinel is dressed and at attention, calling to mind both the life and the death of the soldier who lies beneath. Solid, steady and unyielding, the markers stand in counterpoint to the soft green earth and capricious light that dances across their faces.

One weekend in May, each of these white uniforms is decorated with a small American flag, placed there by a living soldier's hand. These flags are brilliant in the afternoon sun, and it is my privilege to walk among these honored ranks to remember those who died in service to me.

But the men and women who sleep in these rolling hills didn't know it was for me that they fought in the forests of the Ardennes or in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan. They didn't know it was for me that they left behind wives, husbands and sweethearts, children and parents, friends. I, too, didn't know until life's experience began to teach me how precious my freedom is. Only by examining my life -- taking stock of all the blessings and opportunities that have been mine because of the freedoms I can count on as an American citizen -- could I begin to understand the purpose of their service and the meaning of their sacrifice.


Here, in the staggering serenity, it can be hard to feel worthy of the price they paid. I stoop to read the headstones -- this one so old the inscription is nearly gone, that one so new the sharply chiseled name and date take my breath away. Who are you, young soldier, and how did you come to be here? How far from home did Basra, Hue, Inchon, Corregidor, Verdun or Bull Run seem when you were in harm's way?

The shadows lengthen, and I am a dot among ranks of white that advance toward the horizon in all directions. Here and there a canopy above a fresh grave briefly interrupts the procession, but still the warriors continue their silent march. These are the generations who fought to preserve the freedoms that our forefathers bequeathed us, and though I do not know their names or faces, they are a part of me.

So on this day of memories, I come to tell them thank you. I come to tell them I honor their service and the heritage they have given me. Most of all, I come to tell them that they are neither alone nor forgotten. I will be here for them, in spirit and in deed, and for their fellow soldiers trying to make a safer world so the children of every mother and father can sleep securely at night.

I turn to leave as a bird alights on a headstone and chants a twilight benediction. I realize that I, too, am like this little bird -- free as well to sing my own song wherever and whenever I choose -- because someone I never knew died to ensure I could. I am grateful for the gift.

The writer's parents, Col. Lewis F. Townsend Jr. and Mary Carr Townsend, are buried at Arlington National Cemetery. She wrote this essay while visiting the cemetery grounds on Memorial Day weekend in 2009.
In my view, the above essay should have been front and center in today's Washington Post. Instead, two of the print-edition headlines on May 30, 2010, a Sunday edition widely read throughout the D.C. area, read "Gulf Coast reeling as PB 'top kill' effort fails" and "Big footnote in Sasquatch tale?" Priorities skewed.

This Week's Dose Of Outrage

Due to out-of-town company, hauling Mr. AOW to post-stroke neuro physical therapy, and work obligations, I've been on the web very little for over a week or even had time to read the daily newspaper. But I simply must make mention of the following from the Washington Post on May 24, 2010, pointing out that BHO will not be at Arlington Cemetery on Memorial Day this year to place a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier:

...On Monday, Obama will make remarks at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery, south of Chicago - missing the usual tradition of presidents speaking at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day....
I'm thoroughly disgusted with BHO as commander-in-chief in the above willful act of his disrepecting our military, especially as my young cousin will shortly be shipping out, to put his life on the line.

BHO reaches out to the Islamic world, but refuses to attend Arlington Cemetery on Memorial Day? What kind of American President is THAT? Especially when we are at war!

I've never said the following before about any President of the United States, but I will say it now: I will not call the present occupant of the Oval Office my President.

I don't usually cite Michael Savage, but I will this time:

Interfaithing Equals Dhimmitude

Ongoing since 2002, the year after 9/11:


This week, at Georgetown University, in Washington, D.C.:
From May 25-27, 2010, Georgetown University President John J. DeGioia will host Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams and his 9th Annual Building Bridges Seminar. Since 2002, the Archbishop of Canterbury has chaired an annual seminar bringing together leading Muslim and Christian scholars from around the world to explore issues at the heart of the two traditions. Georgetown University has become a partner in this significant dialogue process and hosted the seminar in 2004 and 2006.
Prince Al-Waleed of Saudi is, no doubt, gratified by the dhimmitude of a Jesuit university as he watches mainstream Christianity submit to Islam via his "educational charities", which finance centers of Islamic study at Western universities.

According to
Campus Watch:
Perhaps Alwaleed's animus toward the instruments of "Jewish pressure" explains some of his less-advertised investments -- among them, a $27 million contribution to a Saudi government telethon that raised more than $100 million for the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. Both the Middle East Media Research Institute's Steven Stalinsky and columnist Diana West have called attention to the prince's co-ownership of the Saudi ART TV network that, under Alwaleed's watch, aired not only the aforementioned telethon but also the fundraiser "Jihad in Palestine," which encouraged Muslims to triumph over the West through suicide bombings and "slitting of throats and shattering skulls."
Charming, huh? [heavy sarcasm]

Islamic Terror Threat At Logans Warning

The text of the threat, left in a comment thread can be read HERE, following Everybody Draw Mohammed Day on May 20. Warning! Vile language!

Christopher of Logans Warning forwarded the threat and the IP address to the FBI.

What is it with Moslems and CARTOONS?

Um, never mind. They simply must rush to aid of their pedophile prophet if they even PERCEIVE ridicule.

I say: Ridicule MTP all the more. Heh.

A little personal anecdote below the fold.

Way back when, when I was ranting on and on about the threat of Islam, Mr. AOW looked at me as if I had three heads. Then, when I told him about the Motoons, he said, "Shouldn't insult a person's religion." Mr. AOW's tune changed when Moslems broke out into a cartoonifada, at which point Mr. AOW said, incredulously, "Over a bunch of CARTOONS? Get over it!"

My point: The more ruckus that Moslems raise over CARTOONS, the quicker the general population of the West will wake up.

Quote Of The Day

(Note to readers: Three posts today! Please scroll down)

"Let me get this straight: If you think I can't win, you're not going to spend political capital on me, even though I spill buckets of blood for you?" Connolly said. "The White House can't be [keeping] distance from people who have walked the plank for them, even when they might lose. Loyalty matters in this business.

Occasionally, U.S. Representative Gerry Connolly does manage to utter the truth. He stated the above, directed at BHO, about BHO's needing to step up and help Democratic candidates in the November 2010 elections.

What Connolly doesn't seem to realize: BHO has become political poison. Endangered Democratic Party candidates this fall are going to go down in flames.

Pocono Mountains: New Haven For Terrorists?

On the May 7, 2010 edition of The Gathering Storm Radio Show, Dr. Williams discussed the following:

PENNSYLVANIA PERFECT STAGING AREA FOR NEXT 9/11
by
Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.

The Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania has become a staging area for terrorism and the establishment of a universal caliphate.


The latest evidence supporting this claim comes from Faisal Shahzad’s trip to Matamoras, at the foothills of the Poconos, where he purchased boxes of M-88s from a fireworks store.

The high powered firecrackers, which sell for $10.00 a box, ended up as detonators for a crude bomb that Shahzad tried to set off in Times Square last weekend.

Matamoras is less than an hour’s drive from the George Washington Bridge.

Fifteen miles from Matamoras is Saylorsburg, a sleepy rural Pocono community, where powerful Turkish pasha Fethullah Gulen has established a 45 acre mountain fortress. The fortress remains protected by 100 Turkish guards and a sentry post. Local residents have complained of automatic gunfire coming from the complex and of a low flying helicopter that surveys the area for would-be intruders.

Gulen, who has been labeled “the most dangerous Islamist in the world,” has amassed a fortune in excess of $25 billion for use in the restoration of the Ottoman Empire and the established of a New Islamic World Order.

In 1998, Gulen fled to the United States from his native Turkey to avoid prosecution on charges that he was attempting to undermine Turkey’s secular government in order to establish an Islamic republic.

Undercover Crusaders on the trail of Gulen in Turkey

With his vast fortune, Gulen established the Justice and Democratic Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma or AKP) which gained control of Turkey in 2002.

Under the AKP, Turkey has transformed from a secular state into an Islamic country with 85,000 active mosques – - one for every 350- citizens – - the highest number per capita in the world, 90,000 imams, more imams than teachers and physicians – - and thousands of state-run Islamic schools.

The tentacles of Gulen’s movement now stretch throughout central Asia, including the newly formed Russian republics of Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmernistan which are becoming increasingly Islamic and radicalized.

Gulen has also established thousands of madrassahs (Islamic religious schools) throughout the world, including 85 in the United States.

The Poconos have lured other radical Muslims, including the six terrorists who sought to inflict mass casualties at Fort Dix, a military base in New Jersey.

In February 2007, the would-be terrorists rented a place in Big Bass Lake, a gated community of 1,400 homes in the tiny Pocono town of Gouldsboro.

During their month-long stay at Big Bass Lake, the six radical Muslims – - all foreign-born and in their 20s, rented a public firing range to practice attacks on the military base.

Because of its close proximity to New York and other major metropolitan areas, the Poconos appears an ideal place to launch terror attacks on U.S. soil.

“We still have very remote areas. These people can come and get lost,” says Robert G. Werts, program manager for the Northeast Pennsylvania Terrorism Task Force.


John Horgan, director of the International Center for the Study of Terrorism at Penn State University, maintains that it’s not unusual for terrorists and radical Islamists to seek out areas that lie beneath the radar screen.

“It’s precisely because they’re overlooked that they’re attractive,” Mr. Horgan says. “In these rural areas, you’re not subject to the intense surveillance.”

France: Burka Rage

A bit of a clash of civilizations...

Hat tip to Infidel Bloggers Alliance, citing the Telegraph's article "France has first 'burka rage' incident: A 60-year-old lawyer ripped a Muslim woman's Islamic veil off in a row in a clothing shop in what police say is France's first case of 'burka rage'":

The astonishing scene unfolded during a weekend shopping trip after the woman lawyer took offence at the attire of a fellow shopper resulting in argument during which the pair came to blows before being arrested.

[...]

At one point the lawyer, who was out with her daughter, is said to have likened the Muslim woman to Belphegor, a horror demon character well known to French TV viewers. Belphegor is said to haunt the Louvre museum in Paris and frequently covers up his hideous features using a mask....

A spokesman for Trignac police said that two complaints had been received, with the Muslim woman accusing the lawyer of racial and religious assault. The latter, in turn, had accused her opponent of common assault.
The Muslima who had her veil ripped off is a twenty-six-year-old Muslim convert.

Read the entire story in the Telegraph HERE.

Being offended is running both ways now. Bound to happen as Muslims throughout the West are forcing Islamic supremacism down the West's throat.

And make no mistake: wearing Islamic garb, particularly the burka with the slits for eyes (aka "the black bag") is a political statement of political supremacism and, according to apostates of Islam, akin to wearing a swastika.

At UC Irvine

(If you desire a break from politics, please scroll down to the post below)

From Infidel Bloggers Alliance:



Information about Malik Ali below the fold.

From Discover The Networks, an invaluable resource:
Amir-Abdel Malik-Ali (also known as Abdul Malik Ali and Abd Al-Malik) is a black Imam associated with the Masjid Al Islam mosque in Oakland. A graduate of San Francisco State University and a former Nation of Islam member, he is a frequent guest lecturer at Muslim Student Union and Muslim Students Association events. A passionate supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah, he helped organize a July 1999 rally in San Francisco at which Imam Abdul-Alim Musa proudly displayed a cashier’s check made out to “Hamas, Palestine.” Malik-Ali endorses suicide bombings as a legitimate “resistance” tactic: “Palestinian mothers are supporting their children who are suicide bombers, saying, ‘Go honey, go!’ That ain’t suicide; that’s martyrdom.”

[...]


Malik-Ali is a favorite guest speaker of UC Irvine’s Muslim Student Union (MSU).

[...]

Also among Malik-Ali’s notable quotes and positions are the following:
* “The enemies of Islam know that when we come back to power we’re gonna check ’em.”

* “Stay conscious and ask Allah to raise the Muslims and give us victory over the disbeliever.”

* “When it’s all over, the only one standing is gonna be us [Muslims].”

* “Sooner or later, today’s Muslim students will be the parents of Muslim children. And they should be militants.”

* “Neo-cons are all Zionist Jews.”

* “The wars against Iraq [Gulf War and Operation Iraqi Freedom] were manufactured by the Jews in America to avert attention from the two [Palestinian] Intifadas.”

* “You [Jews] made all the mistakes we wanted you to make. You went after [former Georgia congresswoman] Cynthia McKinney. So now black folks don’t like you.... You’re walking into all the traps we want you to walk into. You hijacked American foreign policy.”

* “[T]he Israelis were in control of 9-11,” which “was staged to give an excuse to wage war against Muslims around the world.”

* Israelis ought to return “to Germany, to Poland, to Russia. The Germans should hook y’all up. You [Israelis] should go back to Germany.”

* “In America, you’re mostly fighting with your tongue, but you should also learn how to fight with the sword.”

* At the Sixth Annual Muslim Student Association Conference held at UC Berkeley in February 2004, Malik-Ali denounced “the white man, who is the enemy.”

* At the Universal Heritage Foundation’s December 2003 Islamic Conference in Florida, he warned moderate American Muslims that their desire to be “liked” was turning them into “‘house slaves’ in the mansion of a racist, imperialistic and destructive America.”

* He has described Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a “pretty good guy.”
Read it all. The article has embedded links.

Onyx Magazine, the annual awards gala of which is sponsored every year by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida (Floridians, how are your health-insurance premiums these days?), has referred to Ali as "defender of the people."

Apparently, Ali is quite selective as to exactly which people he supports and defends.

One can hope that Ali doesn't gain much support on the campus of UC Irvine. But the fact remains that this traitor and racist is repeatedly invited back there.

This Week's Dose Of Outrage

From this posting at Infidel Bloggers Alliance, "Obama and Napolitano Decide to Slash Anti-terrorism Funds 11 Days after Times Square Bomb Try":

WASHINGTON (NY Daily News) - The Department of Homeland Security decided Wednesday to go through with cuts to New York anti-terrorism funding, just 11 days after the Times Square car bombing attempt.
Rep. Pete King's office said the final DHS budget decision for the year gives the New York City area $111 million for transit security - a 27% cut from last year's funding of $153 million.

Also, the port security program for the metro-area is area is getting chopped from $45 million to $33.8 million - a cut of 25%.

The cuts had been proposed before but King said he thought that after the botched bombing attempt in Times Square - a literal crossroad and major transit hub - that officials would reconsider.

"The fact that the Obama administration would cut New York's homeland security funding just 11 days after the Times Square car bomb attempt is dangerous and unconscionable," the Long Island Republican said.

"The threat against New York City, the top target of al-Qaeda, is increasing, not decreasing. In fact, since 9/11, New York City has been the target of at least 11 foiled terror plots. Yet the Obama Administration is inexplicably slashing New York's homeland security funding," he said.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) joined the chorus of outrage.

"For the administration to announce these cuts two weeks after the attempted Times Square bombing shows they just don't get it and are not doing right by New York City on anti-terrorism funding," he said, "Instead of distributing funding all over the country, they should focus their attention where the greatest threat exists -- right here in New York."
Does the Obama Administration just not get it? Or does this administration care more about reaching out to the Islamic world than about protecting America? You decide.

SCOTUS Nominee Kagan's Coddling Of The Saudis

From Infidel Bloggers Alliance, citing Weasel Zippers:

Arlen Specter accused Kagan of “coddling the Saudis”…

PHILADELPHIA — At a time when the ideal Supreme Court nominee comes coated in Teflon, the better to fend off partisan attacks, Elena Kagan has a pretty good resume.

She has never served as a judge and her writings reveal little about how she would rule on the most ideologically divisive issues of the day. The absence of any meaningful paper trail, apart from things such as her decision as Harvard Law School dean to ban military recruiters, makes her less of a target.

Yet there is one legal case in Kagan’s background that to a small group of litigants constitutes a profound distortion of justice, a slap in the face that they say stings even now, one year later.

And they contend the Senate Judiciary Committee should keep this case in mind, painful though it may be to revisit the matter, as it reviews Kagan’s nomination in the coming weeks.

It was on May 29 of last year that Kagan — as U.S. solicitor general — filed legal papers with the Supreme Court urging it not to hear arguments in a lawsuit against the government of Saudi Arabia brought by thousands of family members and other victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Days later, the Supreme Court rejected the case, following the lead of the solicitor general, as it often does in deciding whether to weigh in on a matter.


The Supreme Court decision effectively let stand lower-court rulings that the Saudi government and senior members of the Saudi royal family could not be sued by U.S. citizens — even if the plaintiffs had shown that millions of dollars in Saudi government money went to bankroll al-Qaida in the years leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks.

“We were terribly disappointed with her ruling,” said Beverly Burnett, of Northfield, Minn., whose son, Tom, perished on United Flight 93 when it went down near Shanksville, Pa. “We had hoped she would be with us so that we could have our day in court.”

What Burnett and many others desperately want to know is why, after evidence that some believe points to Saudi government responsibility for the attacks, they so far have been barred by U.S. courts from having their case heard. And why the Obama administration argued, through Kagan, that their case should not be heard.

Burnett and the other plaintiffs alleged in lawsuits brought by several law firms, including the Philadelphia firm of Cozen O’Connor P.C., that for years the Saudi government funded Islamist charities that in turn supplied money and logistical support to al-Qaida fighters in the Balkans and southeast Asia.

The plaintiffs charged that the Saudis continued to finance the charities even after U.S. officials on two occasions warned the money was being used to support terrorist operations.

Because of long-standing economic, military and diplomatic ties between the two countries, the litigation was sensitive for both the Obama administration and Saudis.

The Saudis complained in court papers that the lawsuits had upset relations between the two countries. And, as Kaganlast year weighed what position to take in the Supreme Court appeal, plaintiffs’ lawyers lobbied the administration to decide in their favor.

It didn’t work.

Kagan’s amicus brief, which said such lawsuits would interfere with U.S. foreign policy, and the ensuing Supreme Court decision, prompted Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., to introduce legislation that would amend the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. The law was cited as a reason for ruling against the plaintiffs. Specter sought to make clear that U.S. citizens can sue foreign governments that finance acts of terrorism, even in politically delicate situations.

Specter, who was joined by co-sponsors Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., was blunt in his criticism of Kagan. He contended that the Obama administration urged the Supreme Court not to hear the case because the litigation had become an irritant to U.S.-Saudi relations.

Of Kagan, he said, “She wants to coddle the Saudis.”

Specter had earlier voted against her nomination to be solicitor general because, he said, she had ducked questions during her confirmation hearings on the Saudi litigation and other matters.
The lamestream media and their various cohorts aren't talking much about the above, are they?

In addition, Kagan supports extended executive-branch power:
...[M]uch of the Obama Administration’s progressive agenda is being carried out through the administrative apparatus that has been in place for some time. This has included, but certainly not limited to, using the IRS as an enforcer of healthcare reform, increased regulatory power of health insurance to the Department of Health and Human Services, new regulations for Wall Street (and Main Street), as well as new EPA regulations on carbon dioxide. While there has been opposition and public scrutiny on these maneuvers, the challenge to this agenda has not (and will not) only originate from the political arena, but also from the courts. With new FCC regulations on the internet and potential cap and trade legislation around the corner, Elena Kagan will be an incredible ally for the Obama Administration on the highest court in the United States.

Kagan has argued, as early as 2001, for increased presidential authority in the decision making process of administrative regulation...
Be sure to read it all, including THIS at Discover the Networks.

Kagan's appointment to the United States Supreme Court won't really change the tone of this particular court at this time. But when Justice Ginsburg, who has been ill recently, leaves....

L.A. TEACHER CALLS FOR MEXICAN REVOLT IN THE U.S.

(crossposted from THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS, where I'm privileged to have access to posting)

Note the ranting about the "global struggle against imperialism and capitalism." Much more leftist ranting below from Sanchee High School's history teacher Ron Gochez, paid on the taxpayers' dime:



The above consumer of taxpayer dollars spoke at the UCLA La Raza rally.

UPDATE (RELIAPUNDIT) FROM DONALD DOUGLAS/AMERICAN POWER:
Ron Gochez, Anti-Semitic Social Justice Teacher and Reconquista Activist, Connects With Underage Student Hotties on MySpace

There's
a little buzz tonight surrounding a three year-old protest video featuring Los Angeles revolutionary/reconquista activist Ron Gochez -- who's listed as a Social Studies Teacher in the School of Public Service and Social Justice at Los Angeles' Santee High School.

Here's this from
Gochez's speech at UCLA in 2007:
We are revolutionary Mexican organization here. We understand that this is not just about Mexico. It’s about a global struggle against imperialism and capitalism… At the forefront of this revolutionary movement is La Raza. We will no longer fall for these lies called borders. We see America as a northern front of a revolutionary movement… Our enemy is capitalism and imperialism.
Well, we find more on Ron Gochez with a little digging.

This Week's Dose Of Outrage

From Pastorius of Infidel Bloggers Alliance:





13-Story Mosque To Be Built Two Blocks From WTC - Committee In Charge of Development Named After Seat of Islamic Caliphate In Spain




From Watcher:
Islam gets a foothold right near the place where some 3,000 people were killed in the name of Allah on September 11, 2001.

(NY Daily News) A proposal to build a mosque steps from Ground Zero received the support of a downtown committee despite some loved ones of 9/11 victims finding it offensive.

The 13-story mosque and Islamic cultural center was unanimously endorsed by the 12-member Community Board 1's financial district committee.

The $100 million project, called the Cordoba House, is proposed for the old Burlington Coat Factory building at Park Place and Broadway, just two blocks from the World Trade Center site.

"I think it will be a wonderful asset to the community," said committee Chairman Ro Sheffe.

Imam Feisel Abdul Rauf, who helped found the Cordoba Initiative following the 9/11 attacks, said the project is intended to foster better relations between the West and Muslims.

He said the glass-and-steel building would include a 500-seat performing arts venue, a swimming pool and a basketball court. "There's nothing like it," said Rauf, adding that facilities will be open to all New Yorkers.

Daisy Khan, executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement and a member of the Cordoba Initiative's board, said donations are being sought to pay for the construction.

Khan said the project has received little opposition.
Cordoba was the Seat of the Islamic Caliphate, and the location of the Grand Mosque.

This Mosque is named after the Seat of the Caliphate for a reason....

[This woman is signing] away Western Civilization for a few beads of PC feel-goodiness.
And what does a mosque signify to Islamic supremacists yearning for the caliphate?
“The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers…”
And let's not forget about The Crescent of Betrayal in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, the site of the crash of Flight 93.

Dhimmitude, surrender, and submission are running rampant!

Quote Of The Day

About Faisal Shahzad, the car bomber in Times Square, come these words from Revere Rides Again over at Infidel Bloggers Alliance:

Had it been a "right wing lone nut", it would have been all about "right wing ideology" and "tea baggers" and "hating the government" and "racism" and "anger over a black man in the White House" and "not liking the health care bill". But instead it's this little Muslim freak so it's all about his "life unravelling" and vague remarks about "Bush" and "looking lonely". What used to be reporters and journalists are now approval whores who wouldn't mention the words "Islam" or "Muslim" in an un-PC manner if some jihadist had just beheaded their firstborn kid.

Faisal Shahzad did NOT unravel slowly. See THIS, and follow the links.

A Brief, Intermittent Pause

(This post, published on May 3, stuck here for a while)

I was going to put up an I'm-fed-up-with-blogging-and-I-quit announcement.

After all, I've got a lot to do besides blogging: work, housekeeping, cooking, and caregiving Mr. AOW, including transporting him to outpatient therapy twice a week. Furthermore, other bloggers are posting regularly on the topics which interest me and doing a better job than I can do right now.

Besides, preaching to the choir and cataloging all the negative events and trends grow soooooo weary.

Then, I saw the following video and changed my mind about going to live under a rock (hat tip to Mustang of Social Sense):


Posting here will pause for a time as I have students' research papers coming in on May 4 and out-of-town company arriving on May 17. A few weeks later, the 2009-2010 school term ends, resulting in a lot of work to complete before the final day arrives.

But I have decided not to abandon blogging at this point.

I will continue to "tweet" (I HATE that word!) at the top of the sidebar and to read the web as time allows. And I will continue to check comments here at my primary web site.

Thanks for your understanding as this blog takes a brief pause, which may be broken. So, scroll down.

In the meantime, remember the words of Samuel Adams:
It does not take a majority to prevail...but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting the brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.

Welcome To The Shari'a States Of America

The trademark registration has been refused for the following banner, designed by Stop Islamization of America (SIOA):



A portion of the refusal notice:

The applied-for mark refers to Muslims in a disparaging manner because by definition it implies that conversion or conformity to Islam is something that needs to be stopped or caused to cease....The proposed mark further disparages Muslims because, taking into account the nature of the services (“providing information regarding understanding and preventing terrorism”), it implies that Islam is associated with violence and threats....The trademark examining attorney refers to the excerpted articles from the LEXISNEXIS® computerized database referencing how many Muslims view terrorists as illegitimate adherents of Islam....Therefore, the suggestion that Islam equates terrorism would be disparaging to a substantial group of Muslims.

Accordingly, the applied-for mark is refused under Section 2(a) because it consists of matter which may disparage or bring into contempt or disrepute Muslims and the Islamic religion.
This ad, however, is a-okay:



Or how about this one?



I can't say if the above bus ads for Why Islam? bear registered trademarks.

But, clearly, the governing municipalities where those ads appear on buses are not offended by the lie that Islam is the way of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. It's a-okay to post that lie all over the place.

As I said in the title of this post, "Welcome to the Shari'a States of America," wherein Islam gets preferential treatment, i.e., shari'a.

Sponsor an SIOA bus ad here. While you still have the freedom to do so.
