More Obama Muslim Pandering

Picture yourself as the US Director of missile technology in 1940.  President Auschwitz directs you to share your evolving missile technology with Nazi Nuclear Scientist Carl Friedrich von Weizsaecker.  Of course, being the dedicated public servant you are (and in the aftermath of the Great Depression you certainly need your job) you feel compelled to comply, although you don’t like it.

Now, fast forward to 2010.  You are the Administrator of NASA.  You are directed by President B. Hussein Obama to share your missile technology with Islamic nations.  These are the nations whose “religious” ideology supported and motivated Nazi Germany to exterminate Jews, the very ideology that desires to wipe our ally Israel off the map, the ideology which considers Christians and Jews as inferior “infidels”, the ideology behind dozens of terror attacks weekly, and the ideology that creates psychotic intolerance in their culture and wishes to impose this intolerance on the rest of the world.

Do you notice any parallels? 

This is real.  Read the following news story…

WASHINGTON — NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden said Tuesday that President Barack Obama has asked him to “find ways to reach out to dominantly Muslim countries” as the White House pushes the space agency to become a tool of international diplomacy.

“In addition to the nations that most of you usually hear about when you think about the International Space Station, we now have expanded our efforts to reach out to non-traditional partners,” said Bolden, speaking to a lecture hall of young engineering students.

Specifically, he talked about connecting with countries that do not have an established space program and helping them conduct science missions. He mentioned new opportunities with Indonesia, including an educational program that examines global climate change.

“We really like Indonesia because the State Department, the Department of Education [and] other agencies in the U.S. are reaching out to Indonesia as the largest Muslim nation in the world. We would love to establish partners there,” Bolden said.

As a presidential candidate, Obama espoused a space program that invited more participation from the international community and Deputy NASA Administrator Lori Garver said recently that the next time NASA lands on the moon it would be part of an international exploration effort.

So, let me understand this.  Our President is eliminating our own space program, he has directed NASA to share our space/rocket technology with Islamic nations, and declares we are not at war with the centers of terror, while his VP expresses fear of impending attacks.  Oh but of course, they would only be “isolated” attacks.

If we could only win enough seats in November to end this insanity before 2012.

Dismal State of our National Security

Within a six month period in 2009 we've had the Fort Hood shooting by a devout Muslim, the Nation of Islam-affiliated cop massacre near Seattle, and the "angelic" Muslim from Nigeria in a miraculous failure to blow up a Detroit-bound plane.

These terrorist attacks all have one thing in common.  Our failure of acknowledging the root cause of the terrorist threat.  No, the root cause is not "poverty" or "the haves vs. the have nots" or "racial discrimination" or "religious discrimination."  It is not the "evil US suppression" of other peoples or nations, although this is a popular "blame-America-first" belief.

The root cause is our failure to understand the basic historical teaching and goals of Islam, and the motivation of those who become devout in its practice.

Instead we have leaders who believe Islam must be respected and dealt with benevolently.  We have sympathizers who continue to insist that Islam is a "religion of peace."    We have national security leaders who confusedly profess that "the system worked really, really smoothly."  We have a President who rewards Islamic nations while snubbing our allies - who has the Islamic threat totally off his radar of national concerns.  Heck, he doesn't even recognize any "terror threat" as a high priority, never mind admitting that 99% is Islamic motivated.

We have been "reactive" and not "proactive."  We are being severely manipulated by our failure to acknowledge the root problem.  After 9-11, we had cockpit doors fortified and searches of passengers for box cutters.  After the shoe bomber, we all have to remove our shoes in the security line-up.  After the European plot to carry small vials of liquid explosives onto planes, no one can bring perfume, aftershave, or liquid medications in our carry-ons.  Literally tons of these were confiscated at the gates.  As a result of the underwear bomber, we will either have full body scans revealing every mole or be subject to pat downs up to our crotch.  When the devout Islamist conceal their explosive of choice in their body cavities, we may be induced to accept body cavity searches as well.

Don't you think we are missing something here?  Instead of punishing Americans who love our freedoms, why don't we focus on those whose ideology promotes the terror?  Instead of reducing the freedoms of those who respect freedom, why not reduce the freedoms of those who want to destroy our freedom?  Is this approach too logical?  Yes, it involves profiling.  Before the Islamic cancer spreads further, every individual who claims Islam as their faith, and every individual from an Islamic-dominated nation must receive special attention.  This special attention must be carried out at the airport gates as well as in our selection of individuals for sensitive positions in our government and defense organizations and industries.  This is the least we should do.  Others may soon be calling for the deportation of all who profess a devout belief in Islam, or worse, especially if we experience another successful attack of 9-11 proportions or worse.  We need to stop our demeaning harassment of the innocent majority out of our insane desire to not offend those who profess their offense toward us.

We know our President is not with us when he declares in his book "Audacity of Hope" that he promises to “stand with them [Muslim immigrants] if the political winds became ugly.”   I take that to mean that he will defend Islam and Muslims in this nation no matter how severe the political backlash might be as a result of future Muslim atrocities.  Stunning.

Daniel Pipes, in this pointed article about our security failures, asked "What size disaster must occur to inspire a serious approach to counterterrorism?"

I would add "What size disaster must occur and how much of our culture and freedom must we sacrifice to inspire a serious approach to Islam?"

Terror & Intimidation - Parallels with the “Stockholm Syndrome"

The Stockholm Syndrome: This can explain a lot of odd and counterproductive behavior created by the terror and intimidation of Islam in many parts of the world. From afar we might wonder why people don't respond more forcibly to the aggression of Islamic terrorism. We often wonder about Israel's reaction. Of all countries, we would expect Israel to react with firm and incessant resolve whenever they are threatened or attacked by the Islamic world around them. After all, six million Jews were slaughtered only 60 years ago. Several neighboring nations vow to wipe Israel off the map. Many of Israel's leaders are aware of Islam's hatred of Jews and their vow to eradicate them. Yet Israel is plagued by many of her leaders who are conciliatory, appeasing liberals, rather than the firm and resolute conservatives we would intuitively expect given the facts. Can the Stockholm Syndrome be an explanation for this?

Israel is surrounded in a manner suggestive of "captors". Israel is "Patty Hurst." The surrounding Islamic nations are "The Symbianese Liberation Army," analogically speaking. Being in the position they are in, Israel, viscerally, feels helpless and beholden. They truly are of split mind, on one hand feeling a desperate need to defend themselves, but on the other hand grateful for every reprieve from warfare or perception of annihilation they can get. So grateful that many grasp at irrational straws of conciliation and illusions of peace from illusionary treaties. The captives grow more beholden as the captive become more emboldened. The book, “The Oslo Syndrome” written in 2005 documents this very relationship.

The same principles of human behavior are at work in Western European countries whose populations near Islamic majorities. As the Muslim numbers increase, so does Muslim intolerance and intimidation. With both their dwindling percentages and the Muslim intimidation, the "natives" in those western nations reach a point where rather than face the perceived inevitable end to their culture, they reach out in a desperate, perverted "friendship" with those who are quickly overtaking their centuries old culture, religion, and political system. This, too, is where the Stockholm Syndrome is playing out.

Even in the United States, it would be no surprise to learn that some of our leaders who "buddy up" and defend Islamic leaders are doing so out of fear of what they see as "the inevitable." They see the coming Islamic wave being so over powering and so certain that they feel it is better to befriend than declare hostilities. They feel it is better or easier to compromise their own values and culture to accommodate a diametrically opposed ideology than it is to challenge it. So they accommodate it.

So while some of our accommodation of the hostile supremacist Islamic ideology is due to our ignorance of its nature, some is also due to fear. The Stockholm Syndrome provides an easier way out rather than facing up to the challenge.

The other component of our failure to face the Islamic challenge, one that is not even on the radar for many of us, is this: We don't feel our values, our religion (if any), our culture and form of government are worth defending. The fact is, the decline of a dynamic Christian faith in this nation and much of the west has left a vacuum. Nature abhors it – Islam is filling it.

We have become so critical of ourselves, who we are, where we came from, how we got here, that anything else - anything else - appears that it might be better.

That is why we were willing to embrace "hope and change" without even caring what the "change" would lead us to. We are so desperate for something different that our attitude when facing the challenge of a completely foreign and contrary ideology might as well be - "Whatever." We care that much.

Grasping in defense of Islam…

Now and then in discussing the merits of Islam with someone, they will make a comparison with Mormons. This comparison comes about after I suggest how disconcerting it is that many Muslims resort to accusing law enforcement of profiling them instead of condemning radical Muslims involved in terror plots. The majority Muslims who do this appear to be sympathizers with the radical fringe.

The response is: “But there are radical Mormons and that doesn’t make the other Mormons bad.” Yes, and “radical” Presbyterians, Catholics, atheists, and Lutherans. This is a faulty analogy on so many levels. Let me count the levels:

  1. The fringe Mormons are a separate and distinct organization.
  2. The main body of Mormons established a separate organization to disassociate themselves from the illegal practices of the fringe group. (something the “average” Muslim fails to do.)
  3. There is no moral equivalence whatsoever between the practice of polygamy by the fringe group of Mormons and the practices of radical Muslims involved in terror plots. The outcome of the Mormon radicals is more children. The outcome of the Muslim radicals is terror and killing. Both practices are illegal, but there truly is a difference in outcomes, wouldn’t you agree?
  4. The agenda of the radical Mormon is to remain separate from society and raise a moral family in peace. The agenda of the radical Muslim is to spread their faith by use of force, intimidation, terror and killing in order to force their intolerant Sharia law upon the nation in which they reside.
  5. The main body of Mormons publicly and privately condemns violence and disassociates itself from any organization that practices or promotes it. The main body of Muslims may occasionally publicly condemn violence, but privately supports their violent cohorts through teaching curriculum and monetary contributions that supports terror groups, the imposition of Sharia law and the eradication of Israel, Jews, and other “infidels” among whom are all non-Muslims.
  6. The main body of Mormons preach, teach, and practice tolerance. The main body of Muslims around the world have a continuing and in your face practice of intolerance and violent reaction to anything that offends them. Things that offend range from cartoons, to family members leaving their faith, to opinions about Muhammad to legitimate and necessary efforts to curb terrorism (99% of which happens to be committed by Muslims) including alleged “profiling.”
  7. Even if levels 1 through 6, above, didn’t exist, why do Muslim defenders believe that two wrongs make everything OK?

Comparison with Mormons, indeed. There are also too many "infidels" who have their head in the sands of ignorance.

There are various levels of complicities with the radical element among Muslims. While fewer than 5% of the 1.3 billion Muslims may actually participate in terror plots and other violent acts on behalf of Islam, a larger percentage openly cheers them on and facilitate their actions. A still larger percentage than that privately cheer them on and support them in some fashion. Another portion, those who may feel strongly against Islamic radicalism, will be intimidated by Islamic peer pressure to tacitly support the radicals, very much like the average German during the rise of Nazism. The remaining tiny percentage, the really brave, will become an Islamic apostate, with their life under a death threat.

Yet the average non-Muslim applies their non-Muslim morality to this whole scenario, denying that such beliefs can occur among so many people.

Another Kum Bay Yah Cartoon...



That's Jimmy Carter in the middle. Obama is behind Carter. You can't see him because he is bending over, bowing to the Saudi Prince.

Oh, and by the way, Carter was almost assassinated in Gaza this morning.

Dubai: Beloved Ally; World Financial Center...

...and friends Of Islamic terrorists.

Dubai cancels New Years celebrations in solidarity with the Islamic Gaza-Hamas terrorists. Egypt did the same. Wouldn't you say the Bush administrations' ill-fated attempt to have Dubai firms safeguard the security of our ports a few years ago was dumb? Wake up, Washington politicians! I can only pray that Obama surprises us.

Keep up the good work, Israel!

The only thing that can explain our coziness with Dubai is their business connections with "corporate America." Those connections will leave us sucking wind. Am I the only one who believes our federal government is a tool and witting accomplice of big business' extravagance, waste, and ill-conceived alliances, and average Joes are being screwed by this fact?

By the way, for those of you who might think I am being mean spirited, Israel endured 200 missle strikes from Islamic Hamas during the week prior to their counter-attack - AND 3,000 SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. They exercised excessive restraint.

Those who have pity on the Islamic Hamas terrorists in Gaza might very well be of the same cloth as those who had pity on Hitler and Mussolini.

Fiddling while Washington's Nuked - Why We Aren't Prepared

The current tendencies of this nation and much of our population are troublesome in several respects:

Immigration: Inability to assimilate as fast as immigration is being allowed, inviting excessive and violent cultural change in the coming years; disregard for the law by not enforcing the immigration standards we have.

Cult of "cultural diversity" and "tolerance": Belief that anyones values, culture, beliefs, religion, and behaviors are as good as, if not superior, to our own - being "tolerant" to the point of self-destruction.

Ignorance about the breadth and intent of radical Islam: What proportion of the 1.3 billion Muslims in the world would like to control our nation and dictate their religious standards to the rest of our population?

Lack of defenses for the most likely violent threats to our political system, economy, and infrastructure.

Here is a site worth exploring that describes these threats in vivid detail.
