Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, being heckled at UC Irvine by anti-Israel students, February 8, 2010. He persevered, completing his speech, while the anti-free speech students were thrown out and arrested.

A higher quality version will be up soon. Check back!

We had to disable the comments as some comments were very anti-Jewish, anti-Semitic, etc.. We didn't want to inadvertently promote anti-Jewish conspiracy theories. Others would be the same thing over and over. I was also getting 100 emails every 30 minutes to my in-box telling me there was a comment. That's too many for me to deal with. After a lengthy discussion, it was decided to pull the comments.

More despicable Hussein Obama shenanigans

Harry Finn — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 19:14:58 GMT

"Glen Beck Show" on FOX
(Fox Cable News) was the following report:

"Today, even though President Obama is against off shore drilling for our country, he signed an executive order to loan 2 Billion of our taxpayers dollars to a Brazilian Oil Exploration Company (which is the 8th largest company in the entire world) to drill for oil off the coast of Brazil ! The oil that comes from this operation is for the sole purpose and use of China and NOT THE USA ! Now here's the real clincher...the Chinese government is under contract to purchase all the oil that this oil field will produce, which is hundreds of millions of barrels of oil".
We have absolutely no gain from this transaction whatsoever!

Wait, it gets more interesting. Guess who is the largest individual stockholder of this Brazilian Oil Company and who would benefit most from this? It is American BILLIONAIRE, George Soros, who was one of President Obama's most generous financial supporter during his campaign. If you are able to connect the dots and follow the money, you are probably as upset as I am. Not a word of this transaction was broadcast on any of the other news networks!

Check it out for yourself.

I told you so!

Barack Hussein Obama: I Told You So, Yes I Did
By Howard Galganov
Montreal, Quebec, Canada

When Obama won the presidency with the help of the leftist media, Hollywood and entertainment liberals, ethnic socialists (ACORN), stupid non-business professionals and Bush haters, I wrote: It won't take six months until the people figure this guy out and realize how horrible a mistake they've made. And when they come to that realization, the damage to the United States of America will be so great it will take a generation or more to repair - IF EVER.

The IDIOTS who not only voted for the messiah, but also worked hard to promote his lordship, are now left holding the bag.

Here are two things they will NEVER do: they will NEVER admit to making a blunder out of all proportion by electing a snake-oil salesman with no positive social history or management experience of any kind. They will NEVER take responsibility for the curse they've imposed upon the immediate and long-term future of their country.

In essence, the people responsible for putting this horror show in power are themselves responsible for every cataclysmic decision he makes and the consequences thereof.

In just six months, the messiah's polls are showing the following: on Healthcare Reform, he's going under for the third time with polling well under 50 percent, even within his own party. Even though he might be able to muscle a Healthcare Reform Bill by using Chicago bully tactics against his fellow Democrats, it will just make things worse

On Cap and Trade (Cap and Tax), the fat lady is already singing. On the Stimulus Package (Tax and Spend), his popularity is in free fall. On the TARP package he took and ran with from President Bush, it's all but Good-Night Irene. On the closing of GITMO and "his" war on what he no longer wants called the War On Terrorism, he's standing in quicksand with his head just about to go under. On a comparison between himself and George W. Bush at the same six months into their respective first term presidencies, Bush is ahead of him in the polls. On a comparison between "he who walks on water" and the 12 preceding Presidents between WW II and now, Obama ranks 10th. On a poll just conducted, that asks who would you vote for today between Obama and Mitt Romney, it's a dead heat. Between Obama and Palin, Obama's only ahead by 8 points and she hasn't even begun to campaign!

It seems to me that Obama wants to be everywhere he shouldn't be. He's personally invested in totally insulting America 's only real Middle Eastern ally ( Israel ) in favor of Palestinian despots and murderers. He's traveling the world apologizing for the USA while lecturing others on how to do it right, when in fact and truth he has no experience at doing anything other than getting elected.

He went to the moslem world in Egypt to declare that America "is not a christion nation" while he heaped praises on Islam, where he compared the "plight" of the Palestinians to the Holocaust.

The Russians think he's a putz. The French think he's rude. The Germans want him to stop spending. The Indians want him to get his nose out of their environmental business. The North Koreans think he's a joke. The Iranians won't acknowledge his calls. And the British can't even come up with a comprehensive opinion of him. As for the Chinese, he's too frightened to even glance their way. (After all, China now owns a large portion of the United States .)

Maybe if America 's first emperor would stay home more, travel less, and work a little bit instead of being on television just about everyday (or forget about his Wednesday date nights with his amazon wife) or stop running to "papered" Town Hall Meetings, perhaps he would have a little bit of time to do the work of the nation.

In all fairness, it wasn't hard to be right in my prediction concerning Obama's presidency, even in its first six months, so I'm going to make yet another prediction: OBAMA WILL PROBABLY NOT FINISH HIS 4-YEAR TERM, at least not in a conventional way.

He is such a political horror show, and so detrimental to the USA and his own Democratic Party, that the Democrats themselves will either force him to resign or figure out a way to have him thrown out. Who knows, maybe he really isn't a born US Citizen and that's a way the Democrats will be able to get rid of him.

Or, more likely than not, the Democrats will make Obama THEIR OWN LAME DUCK PRESIDENT.

I don't believe the Democrats have nearly as much love for their country as they do for their own political fortunes. And with Obama, their fortunes are rapidly becoming toast.

The Democrats and Dick Forman can keep on blaming Bush for everything, but that game's already begun to wear real thin.
Their mantra was "WE DON'T WANT 4 MORE YEARS," which the STUPID people bought, since McCain was nothing at all like George W. Bush. The new mantra will soon become: "WE DON'T WANT 6 MORE MONTHS."

Get Ready!

Harry Finn — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 00:22:41 GMT

Get Ready!

With the attempted Christmas bombing fresh in mind, I thought this was a bit of important information. See the Truth or Fiction web site for comments about this story.

Advice from an Israeli Agent

Juval Aviv was the Israeli Agent upon whom the movie 'Munich' was based. He was Golda Meir's bodyguard, and she appointed him to track down and bring to justice the Palestinian terrorists who took the Israeli athletes hostage and killed them during the Munich Olympic Games.

In a lecture in New York City he shared information that EVERY American needs to know -- but that our government has not yet shared with us.

He predicted the London subway bombing on the Bill O'Reilly show on Fox News stating publicly that it would happen within a week. At the time, O'Reilly laughed, and mocked him saying that in a week he wanted him back on the show. Unfortunately, within a week the terrorist attack had occurred.

Juval Aviv gave intelligence (via what he had gathered in Israel and the Middle East) to the Bush Administration about 9/11, a month before it occurred. His report specifically said they would use planes as bombs and target high profile buildings and monuments. Congress has since hired him as a security consultant.

Now for his future predictions. He predicts the next terrorist attack on the U.S. will occur within the next few months.

Forget hijacking airplanes, because he says terrorists will NEVER try and hijack a plane again as they know the people onboard will never go down quietly again. Aviv believes our airport security is a joke -- that we have been reactionary rather than proactive in developing strategies that are truly effective.

For example:

1) Our airport technology is outdated. We look for metal, and the new explosives are made of plastic..

2) He talked about how some idiot tried to light his shoe on fire. Because of that, now everyone has to take off their shoes. A group of idiots tried to bring aboard liquid explosives. Now we can't bring liquids on board. He says he's waiting for some suicidal maniac to pour liquid explosive on his underwear; at which point, security will have us all traveling naked!

Every strategy we have is reactionary.

3) We only focus on security when people are heading to the gates. Aviv says that if a terrorist attack targets airports in the future, they will target busy times on the front end of the airport when/where people are checking in. It would be easy for someone to take two suitcases of explosives, walk up to a busy check-in line, ask a person next to them to watch their bags for a minute while they run to the restroom or get a drink, and then detonate the bags BEFORE security even gets involved. In Israel, security checks bags BEFORE people can even ENTER the airport.

Aviv says the next terrorist attack here in America is imminent and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide bombers in places where large groups of people congregate. (i.e., Disneyland, Las Vegas casinos, big cities (New York, San Francisco, Chicago, etc.) and that it will also include shopping malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, etc., as well as, rural America this time. The interlands (Wyoming, Montana, etc.).

The attack will be characterized by simultaneous detonations around the country (terrorists like big impact), involving at least 5-8 cities, including rural areas.

Aviv says terrorists won't need to use suicide bombers in many of the larger cities, because at places like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, they can simply valet park a car loaded with explosives and walk away.

Aviv says all of the above is well known in intelligence circles, but that our U. S. Government does not want to 'alarm American citizens' with the facts. The world is quickly going to become 'a different place', and issues like 'global warming' and political correctness will become totally irrelevant.

On an encouraging note, he says that Americans don't have to be concerned about being nuked. Aviv says the terrorists who want to destroy America will not use sophisticated weapons. They like to use suicide as a front-line approach. It's cheap, it's easy, it's effective; and they have an infinite abundance of young militants more than willing to 'meet their destiny'.

He also says the next level of terrorists, over which America should be most concerned, will not be coming from abroad. But will be, instead, 'homegrown', having attended and been educated in our own schools and universities right here in the U.S. He says to look for 'students' who frequently travel back and forth to the Middle East. These young terrorists will be most dangerous because they will know our language and will fully understand the habits of Americans; but that we Americans won't know/understand a thing about them.

Aviv says that, as a people, Americans are unaware and uneducated about the terrorist threats we will inevitably face. America still has only a handful of Arabic and Farsi speaking people in our intelligence networks, and Aviv says it is critical that we change that fact SOON.

So, what can America do to protect itself? From an intelligence perspective, Aviv says the U.S. needs to stop relying on satellites and technology for intelligence. We need to, instead, follow Israel's, Ireland's and England's hands-on examples of human intelligence, both from an infiltration perspective as well as to pay attention to, and trust 'aware' citizens to help. We need to engage and educate ourselves as citizens; however, our U. S. government continues to treat us, its citizens, 'like babies'. Our government thinks we 'can't handle the truth' and are concerned that we'll panic if we understand the realities of terrorism. Aviv says this is a deadly mistake.

Aviv recently created/executed a security test for our Congress, by placing an empty briefcase in five well-traveled spots in five major cities. The results? Not one person called 911 or sought a policeman to check it out. In fact, in Chicago, someone tried to steal the briefcase!

In comparison, Aviv says that citizens of Israel are so well 'trained' that an unattended bag or package would be reported in seconds by citizen(s) who know to publicly shout, 'Unattended Bag!' The area would be quickly & calmly cleared by the citizens themselves.

Unfortunately, America hasn't been yet 'hurt enough' by terrorism for their government to fully understand the need to educate its citizens or for the government to understand that it's their citizens who are, inevitably, the best first-line of defense against terrorism.

Aviv also was concerned about the high number of children here in America who were in preschool and kindergarten after 9/11, who were 'lost' without parents being able to pick them up, and about our schools that had no plan in place to best care for the students until parents could get there. (In New York City, this was days, in some cases!)

He stresses the importance of having a plan, that's agreed upon within your family, of how to respond in the event of a terrorist emergency. He urges parents to contact their children's schools and demand that the schools too, develop plans of actions, just as they do in Israel.

Does your family know what to do if you can't contact one another by phone? Where would you gather in an emergency? He says we should all have a plan that is easy enough for even our youngest children to remember and follow.

Aviv says that the U. S. government has in force a plan, that in the event of another terrorist attack, EVERYONE's ability to use cell phones, blackberries, etc., will immediately be cut-off, as this is the preferred communication source used by terrorists and is often the way that their bombs are detonated.

How will you communicate with your loved ones in the event you cannot speak to each other? You need to have a plan.

If you understand, and believe what you have just read, then you must feel compelled to send this to every concerned parent, guardian, grandparents, uncles, aunts, whomever. Don't stop there. In addition to sharing this via e-mail, contact and discuss this information with whomever it makes sense to. Make contingency plans with those you care about. Better that you have plans in place, and never have to use them, then to have no plans in place, and find you needed them.

If you choose not to share this, or not to have a plan in place, and nothing ever occurs -- good for you! However, in the event something does happen, and even moreso, if it directly affects your loved ones, then this e-mail will haunt you forever.

Telling yourself after the fact, "I should have sent this to so and so, but deleted it as so much trash from old Bill Jones, plus, I just didn't believe it", will not change anything. You were alerted, had the chance to do something, and instead of erring on the side of caution, you chose to disregard, if nothing else, a sensible, valuable warning.

Obama Screws Freedom-Loving Americans

Harry Finn — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 01:19:02 GMT

Obama signs away your legal protections
ExposeObama

With the signing of an under-publicized amendment to Executive Order 12425, Barack Obama has fundamentally altered your constitutional rights. His actions are undermining your rights to protect personal privacy from a foreign internationalist police agency named Interpol.

Obama has given an international organization unsupervised freedom to investigate Americans on our own soil without recourse or the supervision of our own government.

Obama’s executive order has done more to weaken civil liberties than the much-maligned Patriot Act. The silence in the mainstream media on this issue should scare all freedom-loving Americans. Obama just signed away parts of our precious legal protections.

Farms-to-forest plan worries Vilsack

The Washington Times
By Edward Felker

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has ordered his staff to revise a computerized forecasting model that showed that climate legislation supported by President Obama would make planting trees more lucrative than producing food.

The latest Agriculture Department economic-impact study of the climate bill, which passed the House this summer, found that the legislation would profit farmers in the long term. But those profits would come mostly from higher crop prices as a result of the legislation's incentives to plant more forests and thus reduce the amount of land devoted to food-producing agriculture.

According to the economic model used by the department and the Environmental Protection Agency, the legislation would give landowners incentives to convert up to 59 million acres of farmland into forests over the next 40 years. The reason: Trees clean the air of heat-trapping gases better than farming does.

Mr. Vilsack, in a little-noticed statement issued with the report earlier this month, said the department's forecasts "have caused considerable concern" among farmers and ranchers.

What You Need to Know About Milk

What You Need to Know About Milk
mercola.com
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/12/29/The-7-Foods-Experts-Wont-Eat.aspx

I strongly recommend you avoid milk that has the added growth hormone rBGH.

Samuel Epstein, MD, a scientist at the University of Illinois School of Public Health, is one of the top experts on cancer prevention, and he has been speaking out against rBGH in milk, the so-called “crack for cows,” for years.

For starters, Dr. Epstein points out that rBGH milk is “supercharged with high levels of a natural growth factor (IGF-1), excess levels of which have been incriminated as major causes of breast, colon, and prostate cancers.”

But that’s not all.

"This milk is qualitatively and quantitatively different from natural milk," states Dr. Epstein. "In addition to the issue of increased IGF-1 levels, these differences include:

•Contamination of milk by the GM hormone rBGH
•Contamination by pus and antibiotics resulting from the high incidence of mastitis in rBGH-injected cows
•Contamination with illegal antibiotics and drugs used to treat mastitis and other rBGH-induced disease
•Increased concentration of the thyroid hormone enzyme thyroxin-5'-monodeiodinase
•Increased concentration of long-chain and decreased concentration of short-chain fatty acids
•A reduction in levels of the milk protein casein."
You very well may be drinking rBGH milk and not know it, as no labels are required. This is despite the fact that nearly every American wants it labeled, but the government, as usual, bowed to industry lobbyists and, amazingly, does not require this on the label.

However, as increasing numbers of people and dairies choose to avoid rBGH, you can find labels that say “rBGH-free” or a similar variation. Organic milk is also rBGH-free.

This is certainly preferable to milk that contains this dangerous hormone … but I still don’t recommend drinking any milk, organic or otherwise, that is pasteurized.

You can avoid both the risks of rBGH and pasteurization by only drinking raw milk that comes from a small farmer you know and trust. This is the only way to drink milk if you’re interested in protecting your health.

Can a Good Muslim Be a Good American?

Harry Finn — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 04:35:37 GMT

Unfortunately, I do not know the source or author. I received this in an email and it made good sense to me so I posted it. HF

In light of the murders at Ft. Hood by a Muslim Officer (who had sworn to defend the people, our Constitution and the United States) this article becomes more timely and real than ever;

Can a good Muslim be a good American? I sent that question to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:

Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia .

Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam.

Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran).

Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca , to which he turns in prayer five times a day.

Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.

Politically - no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and Destruction of America , the great Satan.

Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him.

Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.

Philosophically - no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.

Spiritually - no. Because when we declare "one nation under God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99 excellent names.

Therefore after much study and deliberation....perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both "good" Muslims and good Americans.

Call it what you wish....it's still the truth.

The US government spent your tax money to plan for a national police force to control you.

National Police Force

By Nancy Matthis | Thursday, December 17th, 2009 at 3:24 pm

The US government spent your tax money to plan for a national police force to control you. The study was performed by the Rand Corporation’s Arroyo Center in Santa Monica, CA for the US Army’s Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute in Carlisle, Pa. We have a full copy of the report on our servers here.

The purpose of the study is stated as follows:

Does the United States Need a New Police Force for Stability Operations?

Considers the creation of a high-end police force for use in stability operations, examining its ideal size, how responsive it needs to be, where in the government it might be located, its needed capabilities, its proper staffing, and its cost.

This was not an unbiased research study — government studies never are. The answer to the question posed for the study was a foregone conclusion, “Yes.” The Rand study was just to give the government cover, and to find a way to get around the restrictions of the Posse Comitatus Act, which bans use of the military for domestic law enforcement.

The development of a national police force is the second step in the subjugation of our citizens. The first was begun back in May, when a bill was introduced in the House of Representatives to create internment camps throughout the United States at military installations. Complete coverage of that legislation can be found in our article The Specter of Internment.

Here is a brief summary of the findings of the study. You will note that the “foregone conclusion” of “yes” begins the piece:

Justification and Options for Creating U.S. Capabilities

By: Terrence K. Kelly, Seth G. Jones, James E. Barnett, Keith Crane, Robert C. Davis, Carl Jensen

The authors conclude that an SPF containing 6,000 people — created in the U.S. Marshals Service and staffed by a “hybrid option,” in which SPF members are federal police officers seconded to federal, state, and local police agencies when not deployed — would be the most effective of the options considered. The SPF would be able to deploy in 30 days. The cost for this option would be $637.3 million annually, in FY2007 dollars.

Note the clever use of the US Marchals Service to get around posse comitatus. Surprisingly, there is not much discussion of this ominous development among the bloggers. Two sites carry an article by the same author:

Alex Jones’ InfoWars — RAND Corporation Blueprint for Militarized “Stability Police Force”

Lew Rockwell.com — RAND Corporation Blueprint for Militarized “Stability Police Force”

There is also some discussion in various forums, but not enough buzz to make the general public aware. Most of the forums that are carrying this are for gun enthusiasts. If our government does try to enslave its populace, the last line of defense will likely be the citizens who remain armed under the Second Amendment. Which more or less brings us full circle to the spirit of the American Revolution!

A list of Christmas friendly and unfriendly stores

Harry Finn — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 01:54:14 GMT

I’ll be damned if I will patronize a store that wants me to spend my money during the Christmas season but refuses to acknowledge Christmas so as not to offend non-Christians. If it wasn’t Christmas time there would be no spending at all. Some stores have gone so far as to issue orders to their employees to not wish customers a merry Christmas. It’s becoming the norm with most issues today for majorities to suffer for minorities. Below is a list of the most Christmas friendly stores and also the most unfriendly Christmas stores. Please do not patronize stores that will not recognize the Christmas holiday. For a more comprehensive list, visit http://standforchristmas.com/ Merry Christmas to all. HF

Some Christmas friendly stores are K Mart, Sears, Bass Pro Shop, Land’s End, Kohl’s, Lowes, Dillard’s, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Wal-Mart, Target, JC Penny,

Some Christmas unfriendly stores are Best Buy, Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, Lane Bryant and Macy’s.

White House's Acorn Cookies

White House's Acorn Cookies Surprises Republican Lawmaker

By Chad Pergram

- FOXNews.com

Lawmaker sees 'stark symbolism' in White House's Christmas cookies shaped like nut sharing name with controversial community group

Any fan of Cookie Monster on Sesame Street knows that "C" is for cookie.

But at the Obama White House, "A" may be for acorn -- as in acorn cookies served at Monday's annual Christmas party.

The chocolate cookies shaped like an acorn were quite a hit with Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa.

"I didn't expect to see such stark symbolism," King said in an e-mail.

President Obama worked with the community organizing group ACORN in the mid-90s. But now ACORN faces a host of allegations related to voter fraud in the 2008 election and has been weakened by an undercover expose that shows employees offering tax advice to a couple posing as a pimp and prostitute.

The irony of the White House dishing out acorn-shaped chocolate cookies seemed a little, well, "nutty" to King. The Iowa Republican is one of the loudest voices calling for Congress to investigate ACORN.

King pocketed several of the acorn cookies at the White House soiree and even stowed a few at home in his freezer. King even delivered a real acorn to House Judiciary Committee John Conyers, D-Mich., in an effort to launch a dialogue about the organization's legal woes.

"Bill Clinton redefined a two and a three-letter word," King said, a reference to Clinton's denial of the Lewinsky scandal . "But from the man who wrote 'The Audacity of Hope,' we were served the very redefinition of the word 'audacity.'"

More bad news for CAIR

More bad news for CAIR

The Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) reported earlier this week that CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) may now be the subject of a federal criminal investigation (see story below).

This past Monday we emailed you the report that the FBI had issued a warrant for the thousands of documents that had been obtained by David Gaubatz during the daring undercover operation at CAIR’s headquarters.

These unfolding revelations will strengthen our call for a congressional investigation of CAIR. Regardless of what the FBI or a grand jury ultimately does—or doesn’t do—with respect to CAIR, we need to do all we can to ensure that Congress takes action. After all, for years the FBI ignored growing evidence that CAIR had ties to terrorism!

We plan to submit our national petition in January, at which time we will unveil additional steps we will be taking to highlight the need for a government investigation of CAIR’s many misdeeds.

HAVE YOU SIGNED OUR PETITION YET? If yes, we thank you and the nearly 33,000 people who have joined you in signing it!

If not, please click here to do so today! There are still thousands of ACT! for America members who have not yet added their names.

Please believe us when we tell you that CAIR doesn’t want you to sign this petition. CAIR is hoping you will think it won’t make any difference. Or even that you’ll be afraid to have your name and state of residence on the petition.

Why? Because concerns about CAIR are growing in Washington—and thus there has never been a better time to press our elected officials to investigate CAIR. That’s why CAIR is doing everything it can to sweep all of this under the rug.

So if you haven’t yet signed our petition (http://actforamerica.org/index.php/petition-against-cair), please don’t delay any longer. The more names we have, the stronger our other efforts will be.

The Swiss vote to protect diversity from the threat of radical Islam

How did one of the most tolerant countries in the world reach the point where over 57% of its people voted for a constitutional amendment to ban the construction of minaret towers on mosques?

Couple this surprise vote with the public statements opposing the burqa by Sarkozy in France and the growing strength of Geert Wilders’ political party in the Netherlands, and it would appear Western Europe is indeed waking up to the threat of radical, political Islam.

Two items stand out in the story below (yellow highlights added). First, the vote in favor of the constitutional amendment was 20 points higher than polls were predicting. This means people were not telling the truth to pollsters, most likely out of deference to political correctness. But when they had a chance to cast a private vote, their true feelings were revealed.

Second, the political party that brought the referendum to a vote seems to have focused on the threat of political Islam and shariah law. It would appear that Swiss voters were able to distinguish the threat of political Islam and its shariah law from the practice of religion—which is what Americans are going to have to do if we are to protect our security and freedoms.

The effect of the Swiss vote could be summarized as follows: “We are going to protect diversity and freedom of religion by no longer surrendering to Islamist intolerance of diversity and freedom of religion.”

Contrast this with the astonishing words of Gen. George Casey, in response to the Ft. Hood terrorist atrocity perpetrated by jihadist Nidal Hasan:

"What happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy, but I believe it would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here."

More and more Europeans are realizing that, in order to protect diversity, political Islam and creeping shariah must be stopped. They are realizing that “diversity” is a casualty in any society that embraces or tolerates political Islam and shariah law.

For what could be more antithetical to diversity than a supremacist political ideology bent on imposing its will, its god, and its law, on all “infidels,” through any means necessary?

This is the hard truth many in Europe are finally coming to realize. With your continued help and support, hopefully this truth won’t be so difficult for America to come to grips with.
