Michael Coren & Robert Spencer: Leftist/Islamic Supremacist Efforts to Enable Jihad (Video)
Michael Coren & Robert Spencer – Jihad Watch – Oct 31, 2013
Opinion by AAABTonto:
Many of us are consumed by the dysfunction of our own government and political events here in America, but there is an unspoken issue boiling below the surface of our awareness. It is the creeping advancements of radical Islam. I have not been able to comment on this as often as I would like, but I have not and will not cease to follow the “religion of peace” as it continues to expand its influence within our country.

Opinion by AAABTonto:
The accusative Progressive chorus that “conservatives are racist” is never-ending. It has rendered the GOP lip-locked and utterly terrified at the thought of criticizing Obama at a time when Liberty is suffering its most intense assault in the history of our country. Not responding to this salacious slander is, to the Progressive, tantamount to admission of guilt. Add the blame the GOP has heaped on the Tea Party only serves to embolden the Left further.
RUSH: Republicans Seeking To Get Rid Of Their Conservative Base
If the GOP has any hope for a future, it needs to stop attacking its base and start attacking the assailants of Liberty. Socialism has failed everywhere and every time it has been employed throughout the history of mankind. How many times does this need to be heralded?
Answer: for ever and ever!
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.”
– H.L. Mencken
Progressives seek to eliminate individualism. The individual is threatening to the collective—the state. They seek to modularize various groups of people (by race, class and sex) so they can stack them like toy blocks and thus fulfill their precious societal architecture. This is utterly un-American and it is the very substance of Obama’s “fundamental transformation.”

Ben Carson Warns: ‘Socialized Medicine Is Keystone to Establishment of a Socialist State’
Opinion by AAABTonto:
Washington, D.C. is 22 square miles surrounded by reality. I don’t think there is any other group in the world that is more detached from the truth than those who occupy our nation’s capitol. Now, I am not the brightest bulb on the tree nor the sharpest knife in the drawer, but the fundamental problem with Obama is his “fundamental transformation” of the greatest human experiment in the history of man—America.
His centerpiece for said transformation is the Affordable Healthcare Act (ACA); affectionately known as ObamaCare. Socialized medicine has been the goal of Progressives for nearly a century and even Ronald Reagan was steadfastly opposed to its implementation. This damnable piece of cheese was jammed through the legislative process via numerous and nefarious methods. While it was being promoted, the President promised us it was not a “tax,” not a single Republican voted for it, a majority of the people were against its implementation and once it was passed and it made its way to the scrutiny of the Supreme Court, Justice Roberts “saved” its demise by declaring that it was a “tax”! Thank you, Justice Roberts …. What happened there? I wonder if he wasn’t blackmailed somehow, but I digress.
Everything that the President promised us regarding ObmaCare has turned out to be untrue—yes, LIES! And yes, I am calling the President a liar; because he lied. It is NOT because he happens to be black. I don’t care if he is mauve with orange pinstripes; he lied, he is lying and will probably continue to lie. ObamaCare is an unmitigated disaster!
Obamacare: Impact on Taxpayers
1 The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 will raise taxes on middle-income families in direct violation of President Obama’s pledge not to do so.
2 Many families that make far less than $250,000 a year have high-end health plans and will be subject to the excise tax.
3 The increased hospital insurance payroll tax rate will fund a new entitlement separate from Medicare for the first time.
4 Applying the HI tax to investment income will discourage investment and lead to slower economic growth, fewer jobs, and lower wages.
5 The individual mandate amounts to a de facto tax on individuals who do not want to purchase insurance.
6 The biggest tax hikes will take effect after President Obama’s first term and many Members of Congress are out of office.
7 The health legislation includes a myriad of smaller tax hikes, many of which will fall on middle- and lower-income Americans.
Ronald Reagan Speaks Out Against Socialized Medicine
This disaster is not any kind of of improvement on healthcare. In fact, it is a hindrance to obtaining healthcare. I wholly admit that there are problems with our healthcare system, especially from the insurance side of things. However, socializing medicine and erecting a bloated, vindictive bureaucracy to lord over and dispense healthcare is hardly an efficient method by which to streamline the industry. Issues with free market economics tend to repair themselves if given the opportunity, but socialist are opportunists and socializing medicine is the socialists on ramp to ultimate power.
Seniors Will Lose Big Under Obamacare
Obamacare’s Impact on Seniors
Take an aspirin and die. “There are no death panels,” yea right … This is redistribution at its most evil. Anyone with half a brain can understand that healthcare costs increase for all of us as we begin to age. Under this new system bureaucrats will determine who will get certain treatments based on a person’s age—the older you are the less efficient it is provide expensive procedures and thus our quality of life in old age is going to be diminished. Expenses will have to be curbed and distributed to those “most deserving.”
How Much Is Your Health Insurance Going Up Thanks to Obamacare?
Liberty is lost. This all about the limitation of choice, which is ironic because the people who are in favor of ObamaCare are almost all “pro choice” when it comes to abortion. However, when it comes to choosing anything else you need to ask their permission first. So is the government’s healthcare website just an exchange or is it something more? Is it a personal information vacuum designed to collect data on citizens?
Top IRS ObamaCare Official Advised White House On Groups Challenging Contraception Mandate
The Left claims that healthcare is a right. Really? If it is a right, then why do they need to penalize us for not “exercising” our right? Do rights need to be enforced by the IRS? Their entire contention that healthcare is a right cannot stand up to logical scrutiny; it is an intellectual fraud. The whole thing is unconstitutional and they know it.
Alright, conservatives expect the persecution and derogatory drivel from Democrats, but we’re also receiving it from the ungrateful GOP. After several dozen symbolic bills to “repeal” the dreadful ObamaCare were passed by the House—only to be placed in Harry Reid’s morgue drawer for Republican legislation—boneless Johnny Boehner was finally persuaded to pull the plug on the funding of ObamaCare and asked the President to delay its implementation for one year—money for government spending is controlled by the House.
Obama, the ONE who waited for himself, threw an toddler’s temper tantrum and forced the shutdown of the government—well, 17% of it. Then promptly blamed the Tea Party for holding his beloved bill hostage and then began calling them “anarchists, legislative arsonists, terrorists with bombs strapped to their chests, kidnappers, extortionists …” and numerous other hateful, childish names. How erudite and sophisticated. Man, what a leader!
RINOs Strike Tea Party Over Shutdown
“It’s time for someone to act like a grown-up in this process,” former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu stated, laying blame at the feet of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Tea Party Republicans as much as President Barack Obama for their uncompromising stance. Sununu, Rove and the whole host of beltway RINO elitists fault the Tea Party for their own failed strategies. They believe the media when they tell them that the GOP’s problem is their nasty base—the Tea Party. They think that trying to de-fund ObamaCare is going to make them look bad, that anything we might do to oppose Obama will cause the Republican Party shame. The media NEVER says anything favorable about Republicans unless they have forfeited some core conservative belief. When will Republicans come to realize this fact?

More Conservative, Less Republican
The truth is that these RINOs don’t want to upset their beltway buffet of privilege. They don’t want to effect any political change or reduce the size of our bloated government. They just want to be in control of it themselves. They claim that they need to control the White House and both houses of congress in order to effect change, but the last time they had all three legs of the stool, they just spent more taxpayer dollars and increased the girth of the government’s bloated bureaucracies. They don’t care to defend their own constituents or their own country from the clutches of socialism? Apparently …
New ObamaCare premiums come as shock to some consumers (Video)
Then there is the epic failure of the government’s Obamacare website. The President calls it a “glitch,” but they’ve had three years to set this up and spent $634 million of taxpayer’s money on it and the damn thing does not work! It is a turd!
Obama, the Progressive Left and the ruling class Republicans are flawed. They are ruling this country against the will of the people. They are trying to rig the game so that the people can never win. ObamaCare is not the “law of the land”—it is the flaw of the land!
Harry Reid – Professional Jackass
Harry Reid Goes Off on GOP for Causing Shutdown: ‘Embarrassing’ Tea Party ‘Anarchists’ Run the Show
Opinion by AAABTonto:
I am sick and damn tired of the pompous ass, Harry Reid. Shutting down the pathetically inefficient government is NOT an “blow to America”—it is about damn time!
Harry says, “All they (Republicans) have to do is accept what we already passed … they are fixated on embarrassing our President …”
No, Harry, all we have to do is give you the finger, which we should have began doing four years ago when you began ignoring the law by NEVER passing a budget and allowing the President to spend us into oblivion! We don’t HAVE to do ANYTHING YOU think we have to do, because we are AMERICANS! We are not “anarchists”—we want YOU to follow the rule of law! We tell dishonest, snake oil salesmen like you to let the door hit you in the ass!
No one wanted ObamaCare when you originally got it passed … on a Friday … at midnight … after bribing and arm-twisting half the congress—not a SINGLE Republican voted FOR it. Yet, you shoved it down our throats anyway and now it’s killing everything it touches. The President ran all over the country promising that it wasn’t a tax and THEN the ONLY way it survived the scrutiny of the Supreme Court was when Justice Roberts contorted himself into a pretzel and decided that it was constitutional because it was a tax!
There is seat in hell reserved solely for you, Harry!
Separation of Mosque and State
Musnad Ahmad – Muhammad said: “The whole earth has been shown to me until I saw the east of the east and the west of the west and I saw that the authority of Islam ruled all that I saw.”
Opinion by AAABTonto:
Like many of the meaningful issues that are being obscured by the situation in Syria and the negligence of our main stream media, Islam is silently worming its way through our societal superstructure while our elected officials default on the defense of religious liberty and the 1st Amendment.
The problem with Islam is that it is a 7th Century ideology trying to claim superiority in the 21st Century. Add to that, that there is no compassion within its theocratic discipline and confusion as to what those theocratic duties actually require and you have all the elements required to facilitate fanatical activism.
Shariah’s Assault on Free Speech: Warriors Who Refuse to be Silenced
Then the Progressive Left comes along, and while simultaneously bashing Christians, they embrace the plight and need for the “rights of Muslims” because they are another minority which they can add to their inventory of victims—and YOU are Islamophobic! The problem is not that radical Muslims are beheading Christians and burning churches, it is that YOU are a heartless, thoughtless, cruel, conservative Christian. You are an extremist Neanderthal who believes in the Bible and the constitution of all things!
THIS … is the “fundamentally transformed” America of Obama’s dreams.
And your own political party won’t even bother to defend you—that is the mystifying, aggravating issue with the ruling class Republican elitists … they are willing to sell us all down the river in order to preserve their beltway buffet of privilege. They made that clear when they denied the Tea Party electorates ANY speaking platform at the RNC. They nominated that all-time winner Mitt Romney—because they believe that the Tea Party is a bunch of religious rubes and we couldn’t possibly fathom the erudite and genius methods of the beltway RINOs.
Led by Karl Rove, this crowd is more nefarious than the Democrats because we expect Democrats to stab us in the back, but the Tea Party carried all of the water for the Republicans in 2010 and our reward was ridicule and scorn. Rove engineered the Romney campaign and yet he blames the Tea Party for his own miserable failure. Thus, they are unwilling to focus any blame on the Obama administration for fear of reprisal in the media. Silently, Sharia creeps into the fabric of America, while we fight amongst ourselves.
Sahih al-Bukhari 6922 – Allah’s Messenger said, “If anyone changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.”
Hamza Yusuf prooves that Islam is the truth
Oh, I’m sorry … did someone lie about the prophet of Islam? I don’t think so …
Qur’an 98:6 – Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islam, the Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikun will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures.
In her book, Cruel and Unusual Punishment, former Muslim Nonie Darwish outlines the incongruities of Sharia law and American law, including:
1 Death penalties for anyone leaving Islam
2 Death penalties for adultery
3 Death penalties for homosexuality
4 Special taxes imposed on non-Muslims
5 Institutionalized inequality; Muslims are respected over non-Muslims, as are men over women, the wealthy over the working class.
6 Allowance for slavery
7 Allowance for polygamy
8 No minimum age for marriage
9 Harsh penalties, like flogging, dismemberment, and beheading, for speaking against Islam and specifically Mohammed.
And exclusively for women:
1 Your testimony is only worth half that of a man’s
2 It’s not rape without four male witnesses. Otherwise it’s adultery. See #2 above.
3 High burdens of proof for divorce (while husbands merely have to speak a phrase)
4 Forced marriages
5 No protection against domestic violence
6 Losing custody of your children if you remarry
7 Strict clothing/modesty laws…you can be imprisoned for forgoing a veil or showing your ankles
As David Swindle noted right after the Boston Marathon jihad bombing,
“We are now entering a new phase of the Islamic war to replace liberal societies with Sharia law. This is World War IV, a multi-decade conflict that will be for our generation what the war against Nazism and Fascism was for our grandparents. Except it will probably be worse.”
The very idea that Sharia should or even could coexist within our constitutional republic is absurd! Islam is a theocratic culture—the law is the religion. To make it even more absurd and complicated, Sharia is administered by Imams, so there is no consistency in their rulings. If one is looking for advice you can “shop around” for an Imam that will give you a favorable ruling, but if you are being judged on a matter of criminality, then the judgement is final and there is no appeal.
Still confused? Well then, let’s take a look:
Sharia in Syria
Robert Spencer in PJ Lifestyle: Could the Rape Jihad Come to America?
Sunan Ibn Majah 4337 – It was narrated from Abu Umamah that the Messenger of Allah said: “There is no one whom Allah will admit to Paradise but Allah will marry him to seventy-two wives, two from houris and seventy from his inheritance from the people of Hell, all of whom will have desirable front passages and he will have a male member that never becomes flaccid (i.e., soft and limp).” Hisham bin Khalid said: “From his inheritance from the people of Hell” means: “Men who enter Hell, and the people of Paradise will inherit their wives, just as the wife of Pharaoh will be inherited.”
Robert Spencer is probably America’s foremost authority on Islam:
The Brutal Truth About Islam
Ibn Kathir on Qur’an 5:51 – Allah forbids His believing servants from having Jews and Christians as friends, because they are the enemies of Islam and its people, may Allah curse them. Allah then states that they are friends of each other and He gives a warning threat to those who do this, (And if any among you befriends them, then surely he is one of them.) Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `Umar ordered Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari to send him on one sheet of balance the count of what he took in and what he spent. Abu Musa then had a Christian scribe, and he was able to comply with `Umar’s demand. `Umar liked what he saw and exclaimed, “This scribe is proficient. Would you read in the Masjid a letter that came to us from Ash-Sham” Abu Musa said, `He cannot.” `Umar said, “Is he not pure” Abu Musa said, “No, but he is Christian.” Abu Musa said, “So `Umar admonished me and poked my thigh (with his finger), saying, `Drive him out (from Al-Madinah).’ He then recited, (O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as friends…)”
Numerous states have passed or are considering passing “American Laws for American Courts” (ALAC) legislation, which block the use of foreign law in American courts when the application of said foreign law would deprive Americans of their Constitutional rights. You would think this would be a no-brain-er, but amazingly enough, ALAC bills have many critics—imagine that? In the following video, Robert Muise of the American Freedom Law Center responds to criticisms of ALAC:
Defense of American Laws for American Courts (ALAC) & Response to Critics
Sahih Muslim 4366 – It has been narrated by ‘Umar b. al-Khattab that he heard the Messenger of Allah say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim.
Team B II: Shariah, the Threat to America
Christians Under Siege in Middle East While Politicians, Church Leaders Silent
The Obama administration is failing in its duties to protect us from the aggression of Islam both at home and abroad. His Muslim sympathies are a direct conflict of interest to the safety and security of the United States. He has said almost nothing in respect to the persecution of Christians and non-Muslims in the Middle East and elsewhere.
Syrian Quagmire and Obama’s Silence on Persecution of the Church
Resistance … there should be an organized Christian militia and it should be large and suitably equipped with best technologies available. NO ONE is standing up to Islam while political correctness inhibits common sense … Our next president should make an exception to the legality of raising such an army. I am quite positive their would be no shortage of volunteers.
I guess I see this as being an effort independent from the US government, though I wouldn’t refuse their help if offered. I don’t hate Muslims, I detest the teachings of Islam—its purpose is to subjugate ALL other religions. I see this idea (and its only an idea there Mr. NSA operative) as being a multinational group of Christian mercenaries, whose sole purpose would be to defend fellow Christians from persecution. They would also provide food, financial aid, weapons and medical assistance. Maybe there already is such an organization, if so I am unaware of it?
If you want to be Muslim then I think you should be able to do so, that said I think that if someone wants to renounce Islam (apostasy is a crime under Islamic rule) and leave said country he or she should be free to so—not punished by death! Islam’s presumed supremacy flies in the face of our constitution and human rights in general.
You Want to Help Syria’s Christians? Send Guns
Nina Shea, citing Syria’s large but defenseless Christian minority—the most vulnerable group in Syria because they have no militias or army to protect them, writes:
The American people and their political representatives must raise the issue of reprisals against Christians and other minorities. It is clear that neither our allies on the ground nor Prince Bandar and their other benefactors in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf care.
Our diplomatic efforts in Syria will never result in a cessation of violence between the varied Islamic sects, our efforts there should be to provide the Christian minority with the means to defend themselves—guns and ammunition. This would, of course, hold true in any part of the world.
Let’s Blame Bush’s “Lies” for Obama’s Syria Fiasco
I have yet to say anything about the recent terrorist attack at Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya. Western leaders and the media assure us that it had nothing to do with Islam, and that, by killing and torturing unbelievers, al-Shabaab is violating the commands of Allah and Muhammad. However, when we open the Qur’an to see what it teaches, we discover that Islamic teachings prescribe the actions taken by the terrorists at the Westgate Mall. We learn that Islam has been subjugating and persecuting unbelievers for fourteen hundred years.

This is Not America
Parent Arrested from Common Core Meeting for speaking out of turn
Opinion by AAABTonto:
I have to tell you, there are many things I see that anger me, but not very many that make me come out of my chair swinging. This video is evidence of the Progressive Left’s superiority complex. This man did NOTHING to warrant his removal from the meeting much less his being arrested.
The meeting was centered around a new curriculum that is being implemented in public schools throughout the country called “common core”. Critics of this this new curriculum contend that it lowers scholastic expectations and is less challenging. This trend is evidenced in by the dilution of academic material in public education over the past 3 decades. More is taught about former president Bill Clinton than is taught about World War Two.
Robert Small, age 46, was one of the only parents who possessed the courage to speak up, despite the many other parents cheering him on.
“Look, I am being manhandled and shut down because I asked inconvenient questions,” Small declared. “Why won’t they allow an open forum where there can be a debate? We are told to sit there and be lectured to about how great common core is.”
As he was being removed, Small said, “Don’t stand for this. You are sitting here like cattle.” Then he said, “Is this America?”
The Baltimore Sun reported that he was taken to the Towson precinct and detained. Small was charged with second-degree assault of a police officer—a fine of $2,500 and up to 10 years in prison, and disturbing a school operation—a fine of $2,500 and up to six months. So, asking a poignant question is unruly? Being a concerned parent is criminal?
I sincerely hope that Mr. Robert Small has retained legal council and planning to file suit against the school board in question, the arresting officer and the municipality of jurisdiction. He is entitled to his 1st Amendment right to speak and I think the other parents present should have done more to protest the situation. More here:
The arrogance of the Progressive Left has no limits and they don’t seem to have any problem with just shutting you up as opposed to debating you in a civilized, honest forthright manner. No, take the none-believer away, he isn’t thinking “correctly” and should not be allowed to contaminate the rest of the people they are attempting to indoctrinate.
