From the cradle to the suicide bomber, this is how hate is perpetuated against Jews and infidels around the world.

The EPA's Mess with Texas
By Ben Voth
AmericanThinker.com
January 30, 2011
As part of Obama's new political initiative to bypass a Congress that rejected his political leadership in 2009 and 2010, he has announced executive orders to allow the Federal government to restrict economic activity to fit legislative goals he apparently no longer believes he can win in political debate. One of the most important new targets in this new post-Congressional agenda is Texas. The EPA is messing with Texas in ways that threaten to disrupt the biggest jobs producer in the United States.
The EPA is moving to restrict Texas' ability to continue as the largest production base for natural gas in the nation. As the largest consumer and producer of natural gas, Texas provides an important alternative in energy production to the conventional fossil fuels of coal and oil Those fuels have fallen into dire regulatory restrictions that Vice President Biden suggested should eventually lead to the end of coal production in the United States. Natural gas has emerged as an important transitional fuel to the green economy. Despite this, the Obama administration is moving to limit this component of Texas' economic boom.
'Kill the Infidel' in America
By Brian Fairchild

January 28, 2011
In the latest issue of Inspire magazine, published by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, American al-Qaeda commander Anwar al-Awlaki declares that Sharia law requires American Muslims to commit robbery, embezzlement, and theft, for the purpose of funding jihad attacks, financially supporting groups committed to Salafi-jihadi causes, and covering their living expenses.
Al-Awlaki admits that Islamic law allows legitimate Muslim rulers to enter into binding treaties and covenants with non-Muslim nations, but he quickly dismisses this possibility by stating that there are no legitimate Muslim rulers in the world today because they are all apostates. He adds that — even if there were legitimate Muslim rulers — treaties and covenants could not be made with the U.S. because it is at war with Islam.
After a lengthy analysis of how the four schools of Sunni Islam view this topic, he concludes that:
In the case of the United States, both the government and private citizens should be targeted. America and Americans are the Imams of kufr in this day and age. The American people who vote for war mongering governments are intent on no good. Anyone who inflicts harm on them in any form is doing a favor to the ummah. … Since jihad around the world is in dire need of financial support, we urge our brothers in the West to take it upon themselves to give this issue a priority in their plans. Rather than the Muslims financing their jihad from their own pockets, they should finance it from the pockets of their enemies.
Many commentators have mistakenly focused on this new statement as a sign of al-Qaeda’s financial weakness, but they widely miss the point.
Why does MSNBC tolerate Chris Matthews's misogyny?
By Amy Siskind
The Daily Caller
January 27, 2011
Well, apparently Chris Matthews missed President Obama’s Tucson Memorial Speech. The speech in which the president called for civility and toning down the rhetoric. Either that, or Matthews prefers to ignore it!
On the eve of the SOTU, Chris Matthews was back on familiar ground: demeaning women in power. Matthews’s latest target: Representative Michele Bachmann. In fact, Matthews got so wound up in his misogyny that he lost his composure and control. He referred to Representative Bachmann as a “balloon head” three times; referred to her as “this woman” five times (foregoing the proper salutation of Congresswoman or Representative), and just for good measure, used an alleged quote from Stephen Schmidt: “She doesn’t know anything.”
That’s in a span of three minutes. Honestly, how is this women-hatred tolerated by MSNBC without rebuke?

Who Needs a Sputnik Moment?
By Ion Mihai Pacepa
AmericanThinker.com
January 28, 2011
Never in my worst nightmares did I expect to hear the president of the United States give voice to a dream of building "our generation's Sputnik moment." For the privilege of becoming an American citizen some 32 years ago, I paid with two death sentences, both levied on me by one of those Soviet bloc countries that spawned the Sputnik era and later collapsed under its own weight. From my vantage point, ObamaCare now looms over us with disturbing reminders of the Soviet bloc's Sputnik-era health care system.
Last November, an overwhelming majority of Americans rebelled against ObamaCare, fearing that it would generate an outrageously expensive and ineffective bureaucracy which would destroy the excellent health care that we have proudly enjoyed until now. Our wealthy country thrives on a capitalist economy, and we are accustomed to measuring things in terms of cost and the quality of the product we get for our money. But this greatest nation on earth, where "We, the People" have always been masters of our own lives, has never experienced a Sputnik-style society, and therefore most Americans have trouble predicting the long-term consequences of a health care system run by a Sputnik-era bureaucracy. I've been there, and I know what would happen -- the future would be scientific stagnation and human degradation.

Sharks Are Not Misunderstood Dolphins, and Islam Is Not A Religion of Peace
By Kevin DuJan
AmericanThinker.com
January 28 2011
I've often been told rumors from very old, wise people about a time, long before I was born, when "Saturday Night Live" was both funny and relevant. It's hard to believe, but in those unimaginably distant days deep into the past, Chevy Chase played a Land Shark who wore various disguises in attempts to break into people's apartments and eat them. When subterfuge and gimmicks failed, he just lied and told various idiots he was a dolphin.
[Knock, knock]
"Who's there? It's not that Land Shark I've heard about, is it?"
"Nope. Just a candygram, Ma'am."
"Candygram? I've never heard of such a thing. I think you are that Land Shark."
"No, Ma'am. I am just a misunderstood dolphin."
"A dolphin? Well, okay then. No cause for alarm if you are only a dolphin. I certainly wouldn't want to appear to be species-ist by having reservations about trusting a dolphin."
In case you haven't seen it in late-night reruns, that scene ends with a monstrous foam shark head bursting through the door to devour Jane Curtin, Gilda Radner, Laraine Newman, Lily Tomlin, and other unsuspecting New York City victims in one hungry gulp.
Whenever there's a new Islamic terrorist attack somewhere in the world (and that's somewhat redundantly phrased because just about the only terrorist attacks that occur in this world are Islamic, unless of course you have heard of murder sprees the Amish and Buddhists often go on whenever someone draws a cartoon they don't like or names a dog after a self-proclaimed prophet they revere...oh wait, no, those are Muslims who do that, as usual...never mind), I always think of this dusty old SNL skit. The American media deliberately plays the role of stunned bystander shocked that there really was a Land Shark at the door.

State Eligibility Law: Obama's Achilles' Heel in 2012?
By Monte Kuligowski
AmericanThinker.com
January 28, 2011
In his recent AT piece, Paul Kengor looks at Obama's aggregate poll numbers and concludes that the president may cruise to reelection in 2012. And Kengor didn't even factor in the additional votes Obama may secure with our tax dollars via entitlements, subsidies, and his ever-increasing army of government workers. Neither did he factor in the effects of widespread voter registration fraud complements of ACORN-type front groups.
On the other hand, it does appear that much of Middle America has awakened to the consequences of electing Obama in 2008. The Tea Party movement is not going away; in fact, it is getting stronger. And based on the amount of fiscal damage the Democrats have already wrought, it doesn't appear that the economy will be lifting Obama at election time.
There is something else that might provide a little optimism: the eligibility laws of the states. Presently, at least ten states are working on election law eligibility requirements for candidates who wish to be placed on their respective 2012 ballots for the presidency.

If Gov. Neil Abercrombie Really Wanted The Records . . .
By William A. Jacobson
LegalInsurrection
January 26, 2011
The Obama birth certificate controversy continues, with Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie starting and then abandoning efforts to release more documentation. Claims in The Daily Caller and on Drudge that Abercrombie has admitted to a friend that the birth certificate is not on file (contrary to representations by Hawaiian officials) adds just more fuel to a highly charged political fire.
Put aside whether Abercrombie should be looking to release documentation. That is such a hot issue that it is impossible to have a civil discussion about it anymore (my position is here and here). (Please, no comments regarding the meaning of "natural born citizen" will be put through, anyone who wants to read about that can read the comments to my prior posts.)
But when such stalwart supporters of Obama as Chris Matthews, David Corn and Clarence Page all have joined Gov. Abercrombie in seeking release of the original birth certificate, one wonders why Gov. Abercrombie didn't take an obvious route.

Game-changer! Arizona to pass 2012 eligibility law
Obama will have to produce birth certificate to run again
By Bob Unruh
World Net Daily
January 25, 2011
It could be a game-changer.
A plan in Arizona to require presidential candidates to prove their eligibility to occupy the Oval Office is approaching critical mass, even though it has just been introduced.
The proposal from state Rep. Judy Burges, who carried a similar plan that fell short last year only because of political maneuvering, was introduced yesterday with 16 members of the state Senate as co-sponsors.
It needs only 16 votes in the Senate to pass.
In the House, there are 25 co-sponsors, with the need for only 31 votes for passage, and Burges told WND that there were several chamber members who confirmed they support the plan and will vote for it, but simply didn't wish to be listed as co-sponsors.
The Birther Trial Balloon
By Cindy Simpson
AmericanThinker.com
January 25, 2011
Is anyone really surprised that Hawaii's new governor, Neil Abercrombie, was unable to produce the promised Obama long-form birth certificate? No matter how Abercrombie's words are parsed or interpreted or spun, the fact is that there is no new evidence -- just a story about a supposedly well-intentioned but bungling Hawaiian governor, prohibited from access to the certificate because of Hawaii's privacy laws, who must cease the search before he finds himself labeled another "vexatious requester."
The only thing I've found surprising lately was Chris Matthews' tacit admission that a real long-form is indeed an additional document that Obama should present. And this revelation came after months of repeated, condescending scoffs that the online images of the short form and newspaper birth announcements were more than enough evidence for any sane, non-racist person.
Rush Limbaugh recently implied that the entire Abercrombie debacle could be part of a stunt that, once concluded, would result in such rejection and ridicule of the "birthers" that their questions would finally be dismissed once and for all. He may be correct, and a rolled-up copy of a legitimate Hawaiian long-form might be used to further beat the sizeable percentage of the population with doubts into either embarrassed or apologetic submission. Perhaps that long-form may even contain a tidbit of embarrassing personal information, brilliantly spun by the adoring media to garner a touch of sympathy, just in time to assist a 2012 reelection campaign with a significantly toned down opposition and votes for Obama hailed as the ultimate atonement.
Evidence of State Department Cover-Up of Obama's Birth Story
The most open and transparent government ever has actually done it's best to delay responding to FOIA requests, and even to destroy records conveniently tied to Barack Obama's past, as the following embedded FOIA appeal will attest.
In a letter to the Appeals Review Panel for the U.S. Department of State, a retired military officer claims that the DOS destroyed Stanley Ann Dunham's passport records for the years when Dunham was traveling with her young son, Barack Jr., to Indonesia. Since Dunham is now deceased, her passport records become public records. Obama Jr.'s passport records, like all his other records, remain private so long as he refuses to allow the public to view them.

Sarah Palin 4 POTUS...Get Used 2 It.
As we approach 2012 there are a lot of things we can do right now to support Sarah Palin. It does not matter at all that she has not announced her candidacy for POTUS (...yet?).As a patriotic, united, and faithful citizenry we need to be operating as if she already has. Now is the time to get motivated, to get activated, and to get organized.
We proved to ourselves, to our country, and to our government what we are capable of doing in the 2010 midterm elections. We also proved to ourselves, to our country, and to our government what Sarah Palin is capable of.
And they know it. They don't like it...So what. It's not about them, it's about us. Period.
Our hard work changed the country in November 2010. Because of our hard work there are now: 37 Sarah Palin approved members of the House of Representatives, 6 Sarah Palin approved Senators, 7 Sarah Palin approved Governors, 2 Sarah Palin approved Attorney Generals (or is it Attorney's General?), and 1 Sarah Palin approved Secretary of State.
Sarah Palin's Class of 2010 hasn't even really gotten started yet. Just wait.
Gee, I wonder why Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, and the majority of Americans are being demonized, slandered, and marginalized by the Obama supporting Lame Stream Media? (Can you guys believe we actually got accused of Murder two weeks ago? WOW! Hoax & Chains Hope & Change in action!)
Could it be because the formerly Silent Majority is waking up, standing up, speaking out and becoming silent no more? Yes, it is. It is also because we have figured out what they already know. What terrifies them. There are more of us than there are of them...And we're pissed.
There is no room for Trans-Nationalism, Socialism, and Collective Salvation in the American White House. Regular, everyday, hardworking, patriotic, Americans know this and so we did something about it last November.
We took the U.S. House of Representatives away from Team Obama and gave it back to who it belongs: Team America.
That was Step One. Now it is time to get ready for Step Two.
The Republican Nominee for President will either be Sarah Palin, or it will be a Sarah Palin endorsed candidate. To win a Republican primary when the base is activated, the nominee must have the bases support.
A fancy, cocktail party, Establishment Republican cannot be snuck in with an active, motivated base. Sorry, not this time, we are paying attention. There will be no Bob Dole, John McCain (Bless his heart he means well), or Nelson Rockefeller in 2012.
Fake Conservatism is no better than Fake Patriotism.
The American people led the Tea Party are awake, ready, willing, and able to do what needs to be done. Our voice needs to be heard. Our voice will be heard.
Our voice, our vote, our America.
We know what we are up against too. Two weeks ago the Un-Holy alliance between the Lame Stream Media and Team Obama led an all out assault on Sarah Palin , the Tea Party, and you.
The majority of regular Americans were gleefully and devilishly called Murderers in a futile attempt to: Stop the Message and destroy the Messenger.
We won't be stopped. We won't be silenced. We are united, and we are silent no more.
This is 2008 all over again. Anyone who thinks the Lame Stream Dinosaur Media is not going to do anything, say anything, pervert anything to get Obama re-elected is either naive or lying.
Going into 2012 let's be on the offense:
1. First thing to do is to sign up at Organize4Palin (O4P)
Organize 4 Palin (O4P) is a site many Governor Sarah Palin supporters have been waiting for…a chance to put all of our gifts, talents, and plain old elbow grease to work behind the ideals and leadership of Governor Palin. A sister site to Conservatives 4 Palin and PalinTV, O4P is a grassroots effort and not affiliated with SarahPAC.
Sign up HERE
2. Show other Americans that there is no stopping us and that you stand with Sarah Palin.
Let's combat the Lame Stream Media by participating in O4P's Project Letters to the Editor.
Project "Letters to the Editor" is an effort by Organize4Palin volunteers to utilize that fact through writing letters, op-eds, and articles for their local newspaper. The publicity is free and may be your neighbors' only opportunity to hear Gov. Palin's stance on the issues, as many Americans continue to get their news and opinions from the mainstream media. Many newspapers have an online digital version that can be posted to as well, allowing your writings to reach an even greater audience.
Check out the guidelines and helpful tips HERE.
3. It's not too early to show your support for Sarah Palin by wearing 2012 buttons and T-Shirts. It's not too early to put that bumpersticker on your car either.
Cafe Press and Zazzle have a great collection of Sarah Palin 2012 merchandise to choose from.
The best part about wearing Sarah Palin 2012 buttons is that they act as a conversation piece and you can initiate discussions about your support for Sarah Palin very easily.
4. The tools you will need to do this are literally at your fingertips:
When talking to people about Sarah Palin I have found it helpful to have something to give them. Something for them to take home, read, and share. I keep these with me at all times. Especially when I’m running errands. Familar faces from the pharmacist, to the bank teller, to the check out lady at the grocery store create wonderful opportunities to share. Regular, everyday, hardworking Americans are tired of the stuff going on in Washington and not surprisingly they like to hear about an ordinary person who is doing some very extraordinary things for our country. Two of my favorite pieces of literature to pass out are available online.
101 Reasons to Support Sarah Palin by Nicole Coulter is one of my favorites. It’s an amazing list of reasons to support Sarah Palin with a few tongue in cheek reasons thrown in for fun (Reason #82 “She named her kid after Van Halen”).
What I do is a basic cut and paste job to make these. I copy the text from the link above (cut) and then copy it into a Word file (paste). Then I add the title: 101 Reasons to Support Sarah Palin. The link above just has the title of: Reasons to Support Sarah Palin. But I like to add the 101 myself. I don’t think Nicole will mind.
The next piece of Sarah Palin literature I keep with me is called: Governor Sarah Palin’s Accomplishments. This is a color two page document. You can make these yourself. But I email the document to my favorite Mom and Pop Print Shop and they print these up for me too. This document highlights Sarah Palins numerous legislative victories while she was the youngest governor of our largest state. When people see this document they are shocked at how Sarah Palin got more done in two years than most governors have ever done in eight years. Mama Grizzlies get things done.
5. Educate yourself on Sarah Palin's policies so that you can educate others.
It's very easy to educate youself on Sarah Palin's policies. To get started all you have to do is:
A. Read her Facebook Page
B. Watch her speeches on You-Tube. You know what? Watch her speeches on PalinTV!
One of the best summaries available on Sarah Palin‘s policy ideas is a November 13, 2010 Facebook note. It was: An Open Letter to Republican Freshmen Members of Congress.
Use Sarah Palin's facebook page as a reference. You may even want to get some index cards and write down her positions on the issues. Keep these cards with you so you are ready to discuss Sarah Palin 2012 with people.
These 5 simple things are enough to get you started.
Well, we have our work cut out for us. It is time to take our country back from Team Obama and stop being deceived and dictated to by the 20% of America who call themselves progressives.
We outnumber them 2-1. Let's act like it.
This time around we're going to be prepared. We are prepared to be called RAAACIST, dangerous, crazy, divisive, negative, and Unelectable. Name calling is all they have. We have the numbers, we have the facts, and we have the truth. When they call us these names we just take the darts and arrows and we remember what we are fighting for.
We are fighting for something greater than self and being called names makes no difference in the restoration of America.
We got snookered in 2008. But 2012 will be a different ballgame. Masks are off, we know the game, we fight back, we fight harder. Or we die. As a republic we die.

Warning to Candidates: Softly Mimic The Palin Haters At Your Peril
By William A. Jacobson
Legal Insurrection
January 23, 2011
If you have noticed, I am very intolerant of cheap shots and snide comments directed at Sarah Palin, particularly when those cheap shots and snide comments come from conservative bloggers and Republican politicians.
Perhaps I react this way because when Palin Derangement Syndrome first struck, this blog was not yet established, and I just stewed. In many ways, PDS -- along with Obamamania -- was the motivating factor in my creating this blog in October 2008.
This account of the first days of PDS by Kay Hymowitz in Sarah Palin and the Battle for Feminism (h/t @SissyWillis), brings back the memories:

And it is why people like me, who currently are open-minded as to the field of potential candidates in the absence of knowing who will run, will not support any Republican candidate during the primaries who attacks Palin. (Yes, the Lombardi Rule still takes effect after the primaries are over.)
Palin may not run, and if she runs, she may not win the nomination. But any other Republican candidate who thinks the way to win is to softly mimic the Palin haters does so at his political peril.

One For All, And All For One, Or Else Republicans Fail in 2012
In this video Rush Limbaugh reads a post from one of my favorite blogs, Legal Insurrection, which discusses the media's attack strategy on Sarah Palin. Rush, like Jacobson, agrees that if Republicans do not stand up to defend Palin, the media will continue to destroy her, and once they've shot her ambitions down, the media will move on to their next Republican target, and so on, and so on. All Republicans, regardless of their political ambitions, must defend Palin against the media blitz, because if we don't, our party will fail in 2012.
Yellowstone's Supervolcano Is Rumbling
When this supervolcano blows, the entire United States will be impacted. Politics will have little meaning afterwards. Yellowstone's magma chamber is as big as three Lake Michigans combined. The supervolcano may not explode in our lifetime, but the geologic record proves that this supervolcano has erupted approximately every 500,000 years. The last eruption occurred about 640,000 years ago. Therefore, when magma begins to move at Yellowstone, it is wise to pay attention.
By Brian Handwerk
National Geographic News
January 19, 2011
Yellowstone National Park's supervolcano just took a deep "breath," causing miles of ground to rise dramatically, scientists report.
The simmering volcano has produced major eruptions—each a thousand times more powerful than Mount St. Helens's 1980 eruption—three times in the past 2.1 million years. Yellowstone's caldera, which covers a 25- by 37-mile (40- by 60-kilometer) swath of Wyoming, is an ancient crater formed after the last big blast, some 640,000 years ago.
(See "When Yellowstone Explodes" in National Geographic magazine.)
Since then, about 30 smaller eruptions—including one as recent as 70,000 years ago—have filled the caldera with lava and ash, producing the relatively flat landscape we see today.
But beginning in 2004, scientists saw the ground above the caldera rise upward at rates as high as 2.8 inches (7 centimeters) a year. (Related: "Yellowstone Is Rising on Swollen 'Supervolcano.'")
The rate slowed between 2007 and 2010 to a centimeter a year or less. Still, since the start of the swelling, ground levels over the volcano have been raised by as much as 10 inches (25 centimeters) in places.
"It's an extraordinary uplift, because it covers such a large area and the rates are so high," said the University of Utah's Bob Smith, a longtime expert in Yellowstone's volcanism.

Using Tragedies and Disasters as Political Tools
The political left, calling themselves Democrats, have been using tragedies and disasters as political tools to keep their followers in-line and recruit new political club members in the continual fight against conservative constitutionalists and the tragic Arizona shooting spree by a deranged, mentally disturbed young man is no exception.
I am happy that Representative Giffords is on the road to recovery being transferred from the ICU to a rehabilitation center actually standing after such a short time after taking a bullet in the head. Others died in this tragedy and there are those who want to take it out upon an inanimate object – firearms, as well as use it as an excuse to take the Second Amendment away from law-abiding citizens.
Lives may have been saved if anyone present at that political event would have been carrying a firearm to bring down the culprit behind this horrible tragedy. Media and anti-firearm enthusiasts jump at the revelation of a crime committed using firearms, but never revealing that daily, somewhere in America

Seven States Will Use An 18th Century Nullification Law To End Obamacare
By Howard Portnoy
HotAir.com
January 22, 2011
Idaho, the first state to sue the federal government over the health care overhaul, has announced plans to resort to an obscure 18th century legal remedy that recognizes a state’s right to nullify any federal law that the state has deemed unconstitutional.
The doctrine, known as nullification, has its roots in the brand of governance practiced by the nation’s founding fathers. It was used as early as 1799 by then-law professor Thomas Jefferson, who wrote in a response to federal laws passed amid an undeclared naval war against France that
nullification, by those sovereignties, of all unauthorized acts … is the rightful remedy.As a legal theory, nullification is grounded in the assumption that states, and not the U.S. Supreme Court, are the ultimate arbiter in cases where Congress and the president have “run amok.”

Obama's Civility? or Hate Mail?; A Death Threat From Carmine
The other night on the Palin Promotions website we got a lovely little note from Carmine. Perhaps Carmine was moved by The Obama Murder Rally and has joined the presidents call for a more civil tone in our political discourse.For the record I believe it would be unfair of me to suggest that Obama's 2012 campaign rally Memorial speech influenced Carmine to send us this sweet little note full of hope, change, and civility. Carmine writes to us:
I am working to start an army to take up arms ( vote right?) against Sarah and you. The wrath of the real America is coming. I will advocate cross hairs and bulls eyes on her to everyone I speak. This shit goes both way.,You and your kind need to be taken out of the political scene and your party disbanded. It will come to pass as the Bible tells. Look it up . Good luck – we are coming after you and you and you . The time for arms as the Constitution says is here.

Martha Cano tried to send Carmine an Email asking why he would send us such a hateful threat. She quickly found out that Carmine had supplied us with a fake Email address (similar to Barack Obama's fake centrism and fake patriotism).
To learn more about Carmine, hate mail, and Obama's fake centrism be sure to tune into The Dewaine & Susie Live Show on Palin Promotions Blog Talk Radio: Upcoming Show: 1/23/2011 5:00 PM (PST)
The Un-Holy alliance between Barack Obama and the lame stream media are in full swing to silence dissent. They have lost the narrative; America has rejected Big Government Socialism and they know it.
Stop the message. Destroy the messenger.
These next two years we can expect more meaningless gestures of fake civility and ridiculous discussions about tone and rhetoric. And like Carmine, we can expect intimidation.
It won't work. Masks are off, horns are out, and America sees what we must cast back into the lake of deception.
These next two years we must continue to STAND UP and speak out for a common sense, conservative, smaller, smarter government.
Obama's collective salvation is not the American way.
These next two years while Obama's Un-Holy alliance yells, screams, whines, and threatens lets lay our cards on the table.
When they cry, let them cry. When they scream: "Ooooh Negative Polls", "Ooooh Divisive", "Ooooh Dangerous", "Ooooh Unelectable", look them squarely in the eye and tell them what we believe in. Tell them what we know to be true. Tell them what we know to be right. Do not flinch. There is too much at stake.

Obama: Birth Certificate Debate Heard Around The World
By Rush Limbaugh
January 21, 2011
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT:
RUSH: I've been sitting on this story all week, purposely, just to see where it would go. And it has grown. This governor out in Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie, a well-known socialist, by the way, longtime member of Congress, now the governor of Hawaii, really stepped in it earlier, well, I think it was not even this week, it was last week. The governor, Neil Abercrombie, some time ago said, (paraphrasing) "Look, I was there when Obama was born in Hawaii. That birth certificate, it exists. Everybody knows it. I was there when that kid was born." Turns out he wasn't there, and he admitted he wasn't there. He was there in spirit. He was trying to say he's that certain. See, he thinks that Obama ought to just get this off the table. Abercrombie is worried that this birth certificate thing is going to be a lingering problem heading into 2012. So Abercrombie, big friend of Obama, tried to step in there and head this off at the pass. It turns out he can't find the birth certificate, the governor of Hawaii cannot find it. It's just a notation that somebody wrote down.
[snip]
Now, it's still entirely possible all this is a giant head fake. For me, ladies and gentlemen, the sophisticated political figure that I am, it's really hard for me to believe that Neil Abercrombie just one day woke up on his own and without consultation said, "This birth thing bugs me. I'm gonna call a press conference, and I'm gonna tell people I was there when he was born, and I knew his mom and dad, and he was born here and I'm gonna prove it." I said earlier, Abercrombie's no fool. Many Hawaiians would disagree with me on that, many have. But if this guy is acting on his own as I have just described, that's unbelievable. The alternative is he's not acting on his own, this is all part of a continuing head fake and that at some point after a lot of people have gotten revved up cause now, the UK Daily Mail Online is more mainstream than anywhere else in America this has. Okay, so it ratchets up and ratchets up and then a couple years down the road, year and a half down the road, guess what, the thing's found, and, oh, can you imagine the air that will be let out of people's sails then?
[snip]
RUSH: I'll tell you why I think Abercrombie may just be toying around with everybody on this to pull a political trick later on down the line. Remember October 31st, 2008, there was a statement from the director of the Hawaii Department of Health. His name is Chiyome Fukino, and here is the statement. I mean, all Abercrombie would have to do is ask this guy because this guy in his statement says he's seen it. "There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.
Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures." So right here in his statement in 2008, he said he's seen it. Yet Abercrombie can't find it. Now, what gives here? Abercrombie is a Democrat. He's from the Pelosi, Jim Wright school. This guy was a Democrat for a long time. This guy knows every trick in the book. This guy voted with the Soviets over the Contras in Nicaragua.
This guy is every bit as far left as anybody in the House is today and he's running around saying he can't find the birth certificate and he's the governor. Yet the Department of Health director issued a statement on Halloween (I'm sure that's a coincidence) of 2008. He's seen it. "I as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
"No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawaii." So the director of health for Hawaii says he personally saw it. I've got the PDF file of his statement. I could link to it. We could post it at RushLimbaugh.com. Now, out of the blue here comes the new governor, Abercrombie, saying he can't find it. Now (sigh), folks, I'm just warning you: Be very, very careful on this. Something here is just not right . . .

Yahoo! House GOP To Unveil $2.5 Trillion In Spending Cuts Today
By Jon Ward
The Daily Caller
January 20, 2011
A number of the House GOP’s leading conservative members on Thursday will announce legislation that would cut $2.5 trillion over 10 years, which will be by far the most ambitious and far-reaching proposal by the new majority to cut federal government spending.
Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, will unveil the bill in a speech at the Heritage Foundation on Thursday morning.
Jordan’s bill, which will have a companion bill introduced in the Senate by Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina Republican, would impose deep and broad cuts across the federal government. It includes both budget-wide cuts on non-defense discretionary spending back to 2006 levels and proposes the elimination or drastic reduction of more than 50 government programs.
Palin Putting Out Presidential Feelers in Iowa
By Scott Conroy
Real Clear Politics
January 20, 2011
DES MOINES, Iowa -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has tasked her aides with quietly gauging her level of support for a potential presidential campaign by making inquiries to a select pool of likely allies and grassroots activists in Iowa, RealClearPolitics has learned.
Key Republican officials and operatives in the nation's first voting state had begun to assume that Palin would not run for president in 2012 since most of them have not heard a word from her or from her small circle of aides, even as other likely candidates have begun jockeying more forcefully behind the scenes. But a Palin adviser confirmed that although the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee's footprint has not been as heavy as that of other possible candidates, her political action committee has indeed been taking discreet steps in Iowa that would help her build a credible campaign here if she decided to launch one.
Flying the Terrorist Flag in D.C.: Not A Meaningless Symbolic Gesture!
By Mark Cantora

Sometimes a flag is not just a flag. In the current era of postmodern "whatever-ism," symbolic gestures are largely understood as just that -- a meaningless symbolic gesture. A low Presidential bow to a foreign sovereign is just a bow. The gift of an iPod to an allied sovereign is just a kitschy gift. And on January 18, 2011, a raised Palestinian flag in Washington, D.C. is just a flag -- a little wink and nod to the Arab residents of the disputed territories.
But in the Middle East, a symbol is never just a symbol. Even the smallest of gestures is packed with diplomatic meaning, and the policy ramifications of that gesture are almost always far-reaching.

Judge Ok's 'flag of Islam on American soil'
By Bob Unruh
WorldNetDaily
January 19, 2011
Attorneys for a Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq War say they have filed a petition to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals after a federal district judge ruled it is OK for the U.S. government to fund commercial enterprises that promote the indoctrination of Islamic law, or Shariah, in the United States.
The decision came from Judge Lawrence Zatkoff, who changed his perspective on the issue and said just last week that he would dismiss a constitutional challenge brought by Kevin Murray against the U.S. government's bailout of AIG, the insurance giant.
AIG used more than "$100 million in federal tax money to support Islamic religious indoctrination through the funding and promotion of Shariah-compliant financing. … SCF is financing that follows the dictates of Islamic law," said the Thomas More Law Center, or TMLC.
Homeschooled Family Torn Apart By The State & Told They're Not Allowed To Pray Together About Reunification
Christian homeschooling family broken apart by N.J. agency
By Brian Fitzpatrick
January 20, 2011
It's every parent's nightmare.
Army Major John Jackson and his wife Carolyn, devout Christian homeschoolers with a history of serving as adoptive and foster parents, had their five children taken away in April 2010 by the New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services – and despite the collapse of the evidence against the Jacksons, DYFS hasn't returned the children to their parents.
During the course of a nine-month legal battle to regain custody of their children, the Jacksons say they have encountered prejudice against their religion and homeschooling as they fight a state agency determined to see the children adopted by strangers no matter what the evidence says.
