MONEY AND POWER IN THE SECOND AMENDMENT FIGHT Posted: 08 Jan 2015 05:20 PM PST Once again our friend Bluegrass Bruce sounds the clarion call that highlights the fact that all those who purport to support the Second Amendment may have self-serving motivations that condition their thinking. Many of these so-called advocates are little more than fundraising organizations that benefit their owners – money machines fed by stories of the dire consequences to gun rights should the Second Amendment be abolished or restricted by government fiat. Here is what Bruce has to say …
Well said Bruce. Bottom line … I suggest that there are those among us who are actually aiding the progressive socialist democrats and others who want to eliminate or curtail our Second Amendment rights. And that we should not be swayed by their pitches, preserving our funds for the NRA (National Rifle Association), your state’s association, and your local gun club – the people who fight for the Second Amendment on an unconditional basis. Keep up the good fight. -- steve Disclaimer: I am a life member of the NRA (endowment level), a member of the California Rifle and Pistol Association, and my local club.  | |
TIME TO LIMIT MUSLIM IMMIGRATION TO CIVILIZED WESTERN COUNTRIES? Posted: 07 Jan 2015 08:02 PM PST Islam has little or no tolerance for diversity of religious thought or freedom of the press … Once again, we see so-called radical Muslims mount a mass-murder attack, this time on a publication that publishes satirical material in a non-Muslim country where religious free speech and the right to choose one’s religion is the norm.
At this time: 12 dead, five critical, 22 injured …
While the President of the United States touts Islam as the “religion of peace,” any rational person can see that the religion has little or no tolerance for basic human rights – especially the right to practice another religion or the type of free speech that promotes societal values. Déjà vu all over again ...
Those that claim these terrorists were not religious, have perverted Islam, or do not represent a significant majority of Muslims are lying … For those who believe that a small group of radical terrorists should not be allowed to color the greater Muslim population, perhaps one should consider that Qur’an is quite explicit in the duties of the faithful and that the Qur’an itself cannot be modified as it is accepted as the literal word of God as transcribed by his Prophet Mohammad. As much as we want to believe that Islamic terrorists are a religious aberration, it is not true. Perhaps we should consider that these terrorists represent the most fundamental historic and traditional interpretation of the religion – unaltered by the western civilization’s concept of human rights. Hundreds of millions of Muslims either celebrate or condone such attacks. Proof may lie in the examination of the Whabbism that is practiced in Saudi Arabia – and exported worldwide through the funding of Mosques and the travel of radical Imams in Western nations. It is more than likely that the Saudis have given direct aid and comfort to terrorists in return for not attacking the Kingdom. Possibly why a significant section of the 9/11 report on foreign involvement, thought to highlight the involvement of high-ranking Saudis, remains classified. And, let us not forget a fundamental fact: devout Muslims believe it is their highest calling to promote the spread of Islam, and if necessary, martyr themselves in the name of Allah and are promised their reward in the afterlife. While not all Muslims are terrorists or want to return to 12th Century laws, we have yet to see a significant repudiation of terrorist tactics by their so-called “silent majority.” Perhaps they are afraid to speak out – but then again, perhaps they secretly agree with the radical faction of their religion? Problematical immigration in Europe … According to author Christopher Caldwell, who in his book, "Reflections on the Revolution In Europe: Immigration, Islam and the West" pointed out that “'In the middle of the 20th century, there were virtually no Muslims in Western Europe. And, "At the turn of the 21st, there were between 15 and 17 million Muslims in Western Europe, including 5 million in France, 4 million in Germany and 2 million in Britain." In some countries, Muslims have “demanded” autonomy and the imposition of Sharia law in their own communities.
And, it is coming to the United States … Since Muslims believe that non-believers should pay tax (jizya) to Muslims, they have no compunction from looting our welfare and social assistance programs. It is said that up to 80% of Muslims in Europe may be living on some type of welfare. <Source>
Mirror in the Blacks and their civil rights struggle … Say anything negative about Islam or Muslims in America and CAIR (Counsel on American-Islamic Relations) will scream racism, discrimination, and civil rights violations. But, who is behind CAIR? Our friends the Saudis? The Muslim Brotherhood?
It appears they have learned that they can use our own laws against us in their fight to bring Islamic traditions to America. Bottom line … If one were to describe the Muslim culture and its impact on Western nations, it would be best described as “adversarial.” Opposed to our concept of religious freedom, opposed to many of our cultural freedoms and practices, and opposed to a secular government not ruled under the Qur’an. Our Constitution is not a suicide pact nor is it a vehicle to aid and abet our enemies, both foreign and domestic, as they plan the overthrow of the United States government or plan attacks on America or American people. And, that there is little or no doubt that there is a fifth column operating in the United States which seeks to promote Sharia law and the expansion of Muslims. It also appears that the United States government is reluctant to move against organizations like CAIR – said to be the propaganda and fundraising arm of the radical Muslim Brotherhood – lest we violate their First Amendment rights. Like crying “fire” in a crowded theatre is not a covered First Amendment activity, neither should be the radicalization of Americans – notably Black Muslims and others in prison; where you have easy access to psychopaths, the disaffected, the angry, and the weak of mind. It could happen here again -- remember the Fort Hood massacre by a radicalized domestic Islamic terrorist that the President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, has refused to classify as a terrorist attack; labeling it workplace violence. The same Barack Hussein Obama that looked at the devastation in France today and could not bring himself to mention jihad, Muslim terrorists, or Islam. The same Barack Hussein Obama that wants to treat terrorism as a federal crime -- where they receive the protections of our Constitution and are told to remain silent -- instead of an act of war – closing Guantanamo in favor of keeping terrorists in the continental United States. Perhaps it is time to engage in a discussion of restricting immigration by more Muslims and curtail travel visas from any country that has a majority Muslim population. While the Islamic religion does not spread as fast as Ebola, it can be just as deadly. Perhaps we should quarantine those who want to live in the 12th century to those countries that live under 12th century laws. Where do you hide when a large portion of the world’s population want you dead? In honor of the slain French cartoonists and editorial support staff, say a prayer and send the terrorists a message. -- steve |
