Snopes investigation underway
For decades, liberal women, feminists, have fought to re-build the FEMALE image as strong, independent, and complete in and of herself. There are a handful of physical tasks better suited to the male physique, but women are amazing being, certainly not a “lesser” being as some religious leaders believe.
“Sharia, or Islamic Law, has been seriously proposed as the answer to the world’s problems. Even in Great Britain, India, and Canada, people have proposed Muslims in those countries should be under Sharia Law. Sharia Law is based on the Qur’an and the hadiths. But what are some of the teachings of Sharia law on
women.”
“It is impossible to view Time magazine’s cover photograph of Aisha, an 18-year-old Afghan girl whose nose and ears were severed by her husband and brother-in-law on the order of a Taliban commander, without shuddering in recoil. Her “crime” was nothing more than fleeing the hellish home of in-laws who had beaten and enslaved her. That Aisha’s only recourse in the face of such abuse was to run and hide is testimony to the reality that, in Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Muslim world that Sharia law prevails, women are at best second-class citizens. Sharia is the vehicle by which the most oppressive tenets of extreme Islamic religion become the civil law of any society on which it is imposed. In many such places, daily life for women and girls remains today much as it was a millennium ago — the unrelieved tedium, oppression and drudgery of chattel.”
There is evidence that Muslim is being “shopped” on our college campuses and universities. Young idealistic, but inexperienced women are being persuaded to marry Muslim men without a clear understanding of the role she will assume as a wife under Sharia Law.
“In this Tuesday, Aug. 2, 2011 photo, children of the members of Ahmadiyah sect who fled their homes following the lynching that killed three of the sect followers in February, play in a safe house in Banten in the outskirt of Jakarta, Indonesia. Indonesia, a young democratic nation with more Muslims than any other in the world, is often held up an example of religious tolerance, but in recent years religious minorities, from Christians to the Islamic sect, Ahmadiyah, have increasingly been the victims of attacks.

Where are you, FEMINISTS??? Defend our young women from Sharia Law!
According to the Muslim Sharia (Law), the witness of a woman is equal half that of a man, “because of the deficiency of the woman’s mind.” (Bukhari vol.3 no.826 p.502) Mohammed said that a nation will never succeed that makes a woman their ruler (Bukhari vol.9 no.219 p.170-171).
REALLY???
When one is given a woman, servant, or cattle, one should seize its forehead and pray to Allah. Ibn-i-Majah vol.3 no.1918 p.157. See also Muwatta’ Malik 28.22.52
REALLY???
If a Muslim man were to rape a Muslim woman, the man’s word would count twice as much as the woman’s. The word of a nonMuslim does not count at all in a court of law against a Muslim. Muslim man rapes a nonMuslim woman, even if a second non-Muslim woman is present, his word (that he did not do it) would count equal to the word of both of them.
Are Women are simply Chattel, N-O-W???
“It is our position that shariah law imposes second class status on women and is incompatible with the standards of liberal Western societies and the basic principles of human rights that include equality under the law and the protection of individual freedoms. The shariah code mandates the complete authority of men over women, including the control of their movement, education, marital options, clothing, bodies, place of residence and all other aspects of their existence. Further, it calls for the beating, punishment, and murder of women who don’t comply with shariah requirements.”Women Against Sharia Law
Well, if it wasn’t obvious before it sure ought to be now. The liberal media elite have gone around the bend and over the cliff. The Crazy Train they’ve been riding has finally crashed.
And it’s all because of those nasty conservative Tea Party Republicans.
The same liberal journalists who won’t call a real terrorist a terrorist can’t go 10 seconds without calling conservative Republicans terrorists. Or “Wahhabis,” as Chris Mathews described them on MSNBC.
Or “Hezbollah,” as Tom Friedman described them in the New York Times.
Or as ‘suicide bombers” as Tina Brown the editor of Newsweek described them on “Morning Joe.” MORE HERE
Well, yes, the opponents believe they are on to something BIG! We’re past the simple “belittling” stage, on to the really “grown up” slander. And, prey tell, what might their objective be?
To TERRORIZE???
In their over-the-top effort to re-elect the current “Traitor” to another round in the oval office, the lackey-left media is pulling no punches in their attempt to the reverse the President’s current course downward. It is simply despicable behavior for so-called professional journalists!!!
Since when is it a BAD thing to stand up for what you believe? THANK GOD, most Americans are TOO SMART to fall for their under-handed shenanigans, right?
Almost 2 months ago, I ran across an article about the National Popular Vote (NPV). I was flabbergasted! I have since found a few more articles on the topic, but I confess frustration in my attempts to learn more! I have written multiple times to my state officials, to Rush, to Hannity, and to GB with not one reply! So, I’m posting what I have found. BTW … it is yet another breach of the Constitution, as I understand it! Former Article HERE Check out the info in the COMMENTS section, too!!!
“The function of the Electoral College has been debated for years, generally every 4 years, in fact! But it DOES have a clear and present purpose. “The Electoral College was established by the founding fathers as a compromise between election of the president by Congress and election by popular vote.’
“Equality is fundamental to representative democracy.[BUT America is a REPUBLIC - There is a difference!] Everyone’s vote should be equal when electing the president. Our current Electoral College system, grounded in state law, leads presidential candidates to concentrate their resources on voters in a handful of swing states, relegating the vast majority of the country to spectator status. FairVote advocates for direct election of the president, and has nurtured and supported the National Popular Vote plan to ensure that every vote for president is equally valued no matter where it is cast.”
ALEC Exposed: Rigging Elections
This article is part of a Nation series exposing the American Legislative Exchange Council, in collaboration with the Center For Media and Democracy. John Nichols introduces the series.
“Republicans have argued for years that “voter fraud” (rather than unpopular policies) costs the party election victories. A key member of the Corporate Executive Committee for ALEC’s Public Safety and Elections Task Force is Sean Parnell, president of the Center for Competitive Politics, which began highlighting voter ID efforts in 2006, shortly after Karl Rove encouraged conservatives to take up voter fraud as an issue. Kansas Republican Kris Kobach, who along with ALEC itself helped draft Arizona’s anti-immigration law, has warned of “illegally registered aliens.” ALEC’s magazine, Inside ALEC, featured a cover story titled “Preventing Election Fraud” following Obama’s election. Shortly afterward, in the summer of 2009, the Public Safety and Elections Task Force adopted voter ID model legislation. And when midterm elections put Republicans in charge of both chambers of the legislature in twenty-six states (up from fifteen), GOP legislators began moving bills resembling ALEC’s model.
“ALEC is also determined to ensure that citizens do not have the final say on who is elected president, an agenda outlined in such documents as its Resolution in Support of the Electoral College and its ardent opposition to the National Popular Vote project (which it has warned would “nationalize elections and unravel Federalism”). A related resolution encourages state legislatures to formally complain that an interstate compact to defer to the popular will “would allow a candidate with a plurality—however small—to become President.””
In support of the National Popular Vote State Compact, some states have already passed laws awarding all their electoral votes to the U.S. presidential candidate who wins a national plurality of the popular vote. This bad idea would be constitutional because Article II, Section 1, of the U.S. Constitution gives the respective state legislatures the right to appoint presidential electors. Congressional approval isn’t required. The Compact would take effect if states with a majority of the electoral votes pass it.
Proponents of the NPV plan are now making a push to persuade state legislators to enact it, arguing that polls show Americans favor electing our presidents by popular votes rather than electoral votes determined by each state. What proponents don’t mention is that 31 states would lose power in presidential elections under this plan. Nineteen states would lose more than 20% of their power, and ten states would lose more than 40% of their power.
The accompanying table shows the effect of NPV on each state.
“On May 12 former Senator Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) was named a co-champion of the National Popular Vote (NPV) campaign to replace the historic, constitutional role of the states and electoral college in presidential elections with a purely democratic national popular vote.
There’s a new wrinkle in the old game of manipulating the outcome of elections: A single organization is behind a massive, well-orchestrated lobbying effort in virtually every state to restructure presidential election procedures. The wealthy California-based National Popular Vote (NPV) group is bent on reforming the way Americans elect their president via the requirements contained in the Constitution by hijacking the Electoral College in a way that perverts its original purpose of allocating electoral votes to states based on their population rather than disregarding the states and basing the winner on the purely democratic national popular vote.”
America was designed as a Democratic REPUBLIC Not a Democracy!
Relevant to the discussion is the U.S.Constitution! The Twelfth Amendment covers the process to be used in the election of the President and Vice-President.
I would still like to hear MORE from anyone who knows! The fact that it is very, “hush, hush!” confirms to me the underhanded nature of the purpose. I’m appalled to see Sen Thompson supporting this.
Thick and dark, intangible and seductive,
The streaming fingers of hopelessness
Seep around our ankles, oozing, grasping,
Like a rising tide of quicksand.
Groups and clubs of purposeless people,
Empty, they do not understand it’s goal:
To steal, to kill, and to destroy each one,
Systematically, methodically, in broad daylight.
Understanding, we lack the will
To stand against this thickening mass;
We think like victims, helpless against such a foe.
Who will stand, who will light the way?
Have we lost the power to rise above,
Are we helpless and therefore doomed to drown,
Too weak and lazy to scream and shout,
Kick and stomp our way to personal freedom ?
John Paul Jones (July 6, 1747 – July 18, 1792) was the United States’ first well-known naval fighter in the American Revolutionary War. Although he made enemies among America’s political elites, his actions in British waters during the Revolution earned him an international reputation which persists to this day.
During his engagement with HMS Serapis, Jones uttered, according to the later recollection of his first lieutenant, the legendary reply to a taunt about surrender from the British captain: “I have not yet begun to fight!”
The question is not what WE-THE-PEOPLE want, but rather, how to achieve our goal. The two party system only works when the electorate is well and fairly informed and takes advantage of the right to VOTE at each and every opportunity. What has happened to bring us to this precarious point?
APATHY
COMPLACENCY
LAZINESS
So obviously, it will take WORK and INVOLVEMENT to regain our VOICE in this democratic REPUBLIC. If you are willing to work and be involved, spread the word to neighbors, family, co-workers, people at the grocery market, at the hair dressers, at the car shop, wherever you go … Then, show up at the polls! It boggles my mind that rarely does even 50% of the eligible electorate bother to vote. SHAMEFUL!!!! Can we change this? YES, WE-THE-PEOPLE CAN!!!
“Victory in the French and Indian War was costly for the British. At the war’s conclusion in 1763, King George III and his government looked to taxing the American colonies as a way of recouping their war costs. They were also looking for ways to reestablish control over the colonial governments that had become increasingly independent while the Crown was distracted by the war. Royal ineptitude compounded the problem. A series of actions including the Stamp Act (1765), the Townsend Acts (1767) and the Boston Massacre (1770) agitated the colonists, straining relations with the mother country. But it was the Crown’s attempt to tax tea that spurred the colonists to action and laid the groundwork for the American Revolution.”
“In Boston, the arrival of three tea ships ignited a furious reaction. The crisis came to a head on December 16, 1773 when as many as 7,000 agitated locals milled about the wharf where the ships were docked. A mass meeting at the Old South Meeting House that morning resolved that the tea ships should leave the harbor without payment of any duty. A committee was selected to take this message to the Customs House to force release of the ships out of the harbor. The Collector of Customs refused to allow the ships to leave without payment of the duty. Stalemate. The committee reported back to the mass meeting and a howl erupted from the meeting hall. It was now early evening and a group of about 200 men, some disguised as Indians, assembled on a near-by hill. Whopping war chants, the crowd marched two-by-two to the wharf, descended upon the three ships and dumped their offending cargos of tea into the harbor waters.
I’m working with a friend on a book, and every week we get together to conspire to that end. We meet at a local restaurant. Two weeks ago, I arrived a few minutes early and found a seat. I let the waitress know my friend had not yet arrived, and she could come back later. My friend arrived and we talked and laughed for some time before signaling the waitress. When the waitress arrived at our table, we were talking about my blog here. I was asked what I write about. I explained that I write about several things, but often I use this blog to express my own frustrations and concerns with what I see happening in America and why. She paused before unloading a tirade against the current administration. She explained that she was among those who supported him in 2008, and she admitted her deep regret for that decision. She confessed further that she still didn’t think much of Mr. Bush, but President Obama is like 100% worse. “At least with Bush,” she said, “you knew he and his wife loved America. I don’t feel that way about Obama. I think he is ashamed of our nation.” I reminded her that Michele Obama admitted she was ashamed of America. “Yes,” she nodded, “I heard that, but just didn’t believe it could be true. Now I do.”
The deaf seniors with whom I work are a couple of characters, for sure! The husband was born deaf and was set off to the local deaf school during the week. He boarded there, like many young deaf children. Both the husband and wife worked their whole lives. They did everything “right.” Recently, however, they have fallen victim to the smear campaign revolving around the budget…The images of Sen Ryan pushing granny over the cliff and the commercial of the retired teacher who is “no pushover” terrified them. That in itself, the use of “feat tactics,” turned them away from Obama’s camp. The spunky 84 yr old wife said to me last week, “If he was really a leader, this deal would already be done, and Congress could move on to other important issues. He is no leader!”
I took my clients to the local drug store, and chatted with the pharmacist as she filled the prescription. She complained of the paperwork she had to do for seniors on Medicare. I chuckled and reminded her how much worse it will be when Obamacare goes into effect. She stopped, looked up at me, and said,”He has screwed this country so bad, and most people don’t know the half of it.”
I agreed.
A relative of another client joined us for supper yesterday. My client is 88 yrs old and has been a lifelong Republican, so it is no surprise she agrees on most issues with me. Her sister, however, usually voted Democratic. In 2008, she was among those who wishfully bought Obama’s line. While enjoying our meal, she admitted it was a bad choice that she intended to “make right” in 2012. When I pushed her to see if she had a favorite, she declared her first choice would be Sarah Palin, but said Daffy Duck would do better than Obama.
Today, I went to downtown Pittsburgh, to a Bridal Fair. My oldest daughter is getting married in November 2012! I was with my daughter and two of her friends, all three of whom are in their late 20′s. All three are also blessed to be stay-at-home moms … well, my daughter will be a mom next spring! They have each chosen to raise their own children and do without the second car. I am aware of more and more young moms making this same choice, and I must say it pleases me. Their concern is the welfare and health of their child(ren). We were discussing this as we drove to the event, and walked in. One of the vendors overheard me saying that I liked the fact that each of these young ladies had made a wise choice, in my opinion, to stay home with their children. He remarked out of no where, “I don’t think Obama wants moms to stay home with their kids. He’s into re-distributing our wealth, and that includes our children!”
Whether it’s online or in the real world, it seems every place I go I run into people who are thoroughly dissatisfied with the performance of President Obama and with the government in general. At the grocery store – the check-out clerk wears a red, white and blue teapot pin on her lapel. The local fire chief has a bumper sticker on his truck with Obama’s name scratched out and “Bachmann” written over it! My car wears a bumper sticker, too, that says, “My Daughter Serves Army Proud,” while Old Glory and the Gadsden Flag hang proudly from my porch. More and more people are standing up to voice their objections to Government status quo. We’re tired of lies and deception, of back room bargains at the expense of Americans, and of politics-as-usual lead by career politicians. Time for a REAL change. Time for real representation in Washington. Time for integrity and honesty to be restored to the culture, including the White House.
