American Muslim children taught to hate: Inside three of America's mosques.

2012-01-18T11:53:00.000-06:00

What a surprise.

Muslim Children in America are Being Taught to Hate

This is a brand new publication detailing the account of author Dave Gaubatz as he goes inside three of America's mosques.

In the last five years I have personally visited over 250 Islamic Centers, Mosques, and Islamic Schools throughout America. The goal of my research has been to determine what Islamic leaders are teaching the young and innocent Muslim children. The findings are abhorrent, sad, unbelievable, frightening, and most disturbing is the fact our government is keeping this dangerous fact from the American people. Muslim children attending mosques and Islamic schools are being taught to hate America, our government, our military personnel, and its non Muslim population. In this article I will identify three significant mosques in America that are leading the way in teaching Muslim children to hate and to influence them to commit violent acts inside our country.

In America we have been programmed by the media and political leaders to believe violent teachings of Islam are only being taught to children in Palestine. We have watched the Muslim Palestinian children spew their taught hatred of the Israelis. What Americans are not being shown (due to political correctness) are that Muslim children throughout the world and specifically inside America are being taught violence and hatred in mosques, Islamic schools and Islamic Centers.

Children as young as 7 years old are being taught that to assimilate with America is to disrespect and dishonor Islam. They are being taught our military personnel are the enemies of Islam and it is justifiable to kill anyone who dishonors or oppresses the Islamic ideology.

During my research I have identified numerous mosques that are teaching young Muslim children to hate America and are leading them to commit future violent acts against our country and innocent people. I would like to focus on three such mosques. They are:

Dar al Hijrah, Falls Church, VA
Al Farooq, Nashville, TN
At Taqwa, Brooklyn, NY

My researchers and I spent several weeks at the Dar Al Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, VA. Almost immediately we were informed to obtain our study material from the Halaco Bookstore which is located nearby the mosque. It was very apparent upon entering the store and reviewing the materials that the bookstore provides materials for the Sunni (Wahhabi) Muslim population across the U.S. and specifically for Dar Al Hijrah. I was able to spend many hours talking with store personnel and was invited to the home of one employee to discuss Islamic issues. There is a large section in the store dedicated to the education of the Muslim children. I discovered materials that are being sent to Islamic schools across America. Much of the material deals with Sharia and Jihad. One of the DVD’s and books I obtained was by an Islamic scholar Ahmad Sakr. Sakr travels the U.S. visiting Islamic schools and educates them in Sharia law. I have watched one of his videos in which he tells the young children our government is evil and not to follow the laws of our country and Americas government leaders will all go to hell.

The material provided by Dar Al Hijrah and their selected Islamic bookstore also was filled with violent Jihad. There were manuals informing the readers how to destroy America and how to kill anyone who oppresses Islam. They are told how to obtain weapons to include weapons of mass destruction. Although all of the above is very disturbing and should (and actually is) against the law, the Muslim leaders of Falls Church, Val are allowed by our government to indoctrinate the Muslim children into future violence against our country. The next mosque (Al Farooq/Nashville, TN) is even more disturbing.

My research team and I spent two weeks at the Al Farooq mosque in Nashville, TN. The mosque was Sunni and had the typical violent books and DVD’s/videos pertaining to the overthrow of any government system that oppresses Islam. They also had numerous teachings from current Islamic leaders operating in America who are teaching the Muslim population to hate our country and its people. Although this should frighten all concerned citizens, there was even sadder and disturbing intelligence collected at this mosque. Lately we have all read about the child brides and forced marriages in Afghanistan and in Saudi Arabia. What most Americans do not realize is that child marriages are occurring throughout our country and specifically in Nashville, TN.

One young 7 year old Muslim girl at Al Farooq talked to our researcher about being beaten (MP3 file) by her Islamic leaders and being married (MP3 file) to a Muslim man. I reported the matter to the Nashville authorities but almost from the beginning they were reluctant to intercede because this was a religious institution and more importantly to them it was Islamic. Senior law enforcement authorities of the Nashville police department informed me they were afraid of being sued by Islamic organizations such as CAIR if they got involved and it would be a political nightmare to get anything done at the mosque. What bothered me most of all is the fact I contacted Islamic organizations to help this innocent Muslim child and they also balked. This reinforced to me that Islamic law (Sharia) is alive and very active inside our country, to include child marriages. The next mosque I am going to discuss is led by an Islamic leader I have previously described as the most dangerous man in America.

At Taqwa mosque in Brooklyn, NY is led by an Islamic scholar who is not only a major fundraiser for CAIR (terrorist supporter) but travels throughout the U.S. teaching his violent ideology of Islam. He is Imam Siraj Wahhaj. For those who have never visited the Islamic district of Brooklyn it would come to a surprise to many that the area around At Taqwa is similar to the Wahhabi land of Saudi Arabia. I have previously described Wahhaj as the most dangerous man in America. I have reviewed hundreds of his Friday (Juma) mosque lectures.

In this speech (MP3) he tells his followers that around the world Muslims will wake up and say

“I don’t want to follow the way of the colonial masters any more. I want the Sharia. I want Islam. We want to be ruled by Islam. And all we have to do is go back to that golden generation.”

He routinely called America an evil country and is a strong leader in developing Sharia law inside our country. His violent lectures are available to the adult and child Muslims throughout America.

"Those who struggle for Allah, it doesn't matter what kind of weapons, I'm telling you it doesn't matter! You don't need nuclear weapons or even guns! If you have faith in Allah and a knife!! If Allah wants you to win, you will win! Because Allah is the only one who fights. And when his hand is over your hand. whoever is at war against my friends, I declare war on them."

From a video by Sirah Wahhaj called "The Afghanistan Jihad," Toronto, Canada, of a sermon from Sept. 28, 1991.

“If we go to war, brothers and sisters – and one day we will, believe me – that’s why you’re commanded [to fight in] jihad. When Allah demands us to fight, we’re not stopping and nobody’s stopping us."

Sermon by Siraj Wahhaj entitled “Stand Up to Justice,” delivered on May 8, 1992 and distributed as a video.

Islamic teachings such as this are what led the Major Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood Murderer, to commit his acts.

Although I have only focused on three mosques that lead the way, introducing Muslim children to violence and hatred, there are hundreds scattered across the U.S. Few states are immune from this growing threat. The violence spewed by these Islamic leaders will ultimately lead to more violence in the name of Islam. I have witnessed firsthand the violence being taught. There are numerous such Islamic centers in NC, FL, VA, NY, and CA.

Unless Muslim parents decry the violent teachings of Islam to their children, there will continue to be more and more Siraj Wahhaj type Islamic leaders in America. The ultimate result will be the suffering of our country as we now see in France, Britain, and Canada.

More flaming retardation from the Ron Paul cult

2012-01-17T03:43:00.004-06:00

Looking back on tonight's debate in South Carolina, which was clearly a win for Newt Gingrich, I find it wildly entertaining, and all too typical, that the Drudge Report's poll on who won the debate has Ron Paul in the lead.

Now, this is likely due to spamming, as is the nature of Paulbots. But what is even more entertaining is the fact that they do things like this regardless of, well, everything.

Face it, whether you are a Ron Paul supporter or not, he did absolutely awful in this debate. Now all the Paul cultists are trying to explain away, much the same way Paul routinely explains away the actions of terrorists, that the audience was planted by Fox News to boo Ron Paul, that he was strategically placed on the end, and that there is a grand conspiracy by the media to shut him up.

I have seen just as much coverage of Ron Paul as any other candidate, if not more so. You can defend the deity Pope Ron Paul all you want but you can't escape fact. And the facts are this: Ron Paul is by far the worst debater in the GOP field. Ron Paul is absolutely awful at trying to convey his message. I think there is a delusion among the Ron Paul militant brigade that they are the majority, sweeping the country in their wet dream "Revolution". Has it ever occurred to you that just because you live on the internet, spending hours a day in DailyPaul chatrooms, message boards, threads, Yahoo News comments sections, Youtube comment sections, and any comment section under any given article on the web, not everyone regards Ron Paul so highly? I guess when you surround yourself with others who think like you, it is hard to believe that there are actually people out there that don't agree with you, and even harder to believe that they outnumber you. This was the case tonight at the debate, and Ron Paul, the defeatist, got booed because he doesn't have a spine and he doesn't have a solid plan for defense in a time of war. His plan to "bring all the troops home" and close down every military base abroad is naive and foolish. It is only viable to someone with a simplistic worldview and someone who does not understand history in a broader context. Does Ron Paul or any Ron Paul followers have any knowledge of the Battle of Tours or the Siege of Vienna? Probably not. And does Ron Paul or any Ron Paul supporters have an explanation (other than blaming the United States of course) for the Islamic terrorist attacks in 2011 that occurred in Brazil, China, Russia, and Thailand? Denial of an explicit threat is dangerous. And running away is even more dangerous. The world is not a utopia. Evil doesn't simply disappear if you run and hide in your tree fort and put your hands over your eyes.

As for Ron Paul zombies, I have never seen such a disgusting bunch of mob like cult followers in all my life. It is borderline insanity anymore. I know I am not the only one who thinks this way. Just look at some of the comments around the web. Just read them. Unbelievable. I have heard Ron Paul supporters attack every single conservative in the United States. I have heard Ron Paul supporters attack every voice for conservatism in this country. Beck. Hannity. Limbaugh. Boortz. Levin. Savage. O'Reilly. Granted, these people are by no means perfect. But they aren't our enemy. I have seen harsher words from Ron Paul supporters towards these people than from Obama supporters. And these people are supposedly representative of the Republican party?! How about fellow conservatives in government? We already see the vicious attacks within the current GOP race. Let's call it politics and go beyond that. There is not a single Republican out there worthy of even the most tepid support from a Paulite. I have heard Paulites attack Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, Sarah Palin, Jim Demint, Eric Cantor, Mitch Daniels, Allen West. I have heard Ron Paul supporters on more than one occasion attack RONALD REAGAN! This insanity has to stop, and conservatives need to understand that this is not who represents our values. There is not a single Republican or conservative out there who is immune to the scathing ridicule from people who follow Ron Paul. This is none other than cult behavior by the book.

To further the asininity, another common comment from the Paul crowd is...."If Ron Paul is not the nominee, I won't vote. America deserves 4 more years of Obama." Talk about sour grapes. Whiny little losers. Well, I can tell you one thing...after tonight's debate, I am pretty sure Ron Paul is not going to be the nominee. In fact, it is a safe bet that after the vote in South Carolina, Ron Paul's campaign will be over for good. Good riddance. Then wait to see the whining, crying, and bedwetting by these donkeys in red paint. We will hear about how the media shunned Ron Paul. We will hear about how the Zionist New World Order kept him from winning. We will hear about how whoever is nominated is just as bad as Barack Obama. The list of gripes, complaints, and messy diapers will be endless.

Oh, and according to hundreds of comments I have read from Ron Paul supporters over the past week and a half, if Ron Paul is not nominated they will vote for Barack Obama. If that, along with the above, isn't an indicator of the Ron Paul base, I don't know what is.

I hadn't planned on writing this post. In fact, I had vowed to tone down my criticism for Ron Paul and his followers after recently posting quite a few blogs against him. What stirred me enough to hastily write this? A simple attempt to watch a video of Marco Rubio on Youtube, a conservative I admire and wish was running for president, getting marred by anti-Rubio comments from raving lunatic Ron Paul supporters who say he is just as bad as a Democrat. Unreal.

Newt Gingrich mops the floor with Juan Williams at South Carolina debate (VIDEO)

2012-01-16T21:01:00.009-06:00

Halfway through....

-Romney is stuttering like a misprogrammed robot

-Santorum has been better than usual

-Rick Perry has miraculously woken up from his 2 month long hangover

-Ron Paul has brought the house down on occasion and brought boos on others

-And Newt Gingrich absolutely bitchslapped Juan Williams

Post Debate analysis

This was Newt's night. Period. There is nothing else to say except that all the others did very well, but nothing memorable like Newt Gingrich's passion, finesse, and debating skill. Here is a video of Newt making a twistie tie out of Juan Williams....

This was the highlight of the night and something people will remember.

As I enjoy a mountain of views today coming from my most recent post about NFL referee Bill Leavy rigging the Packers/Giants game, I decided now would be a good time to link to some of the interesting stories of the day.

Crooked NFL official Bill Leavy does his best to help the Packers win...

2012-01-15T16:30:00.009-06:00

Talk about blatant corrupt officiating. Kudos to the New York Giants for silencing the overrated Packers and sticking it to the referees who did their very best to help Green Bay win. Especially Bill Leavy.

"Pay me enough and I'll make sure you win...."

First we have an instance where the Packers complete a pass to Greg Jennings and the ball is stripped^ before he hits the ground. Giants challenge, giving the officials ample time to review the play in slow-mo replay. The result of this call only proves that this official, or maybe all of them, have a hidden agenda besides calling a fair game.

This play was clearly a fumble and Bill Leavy, a lifelong Packers fan I take it, doesn't do his job. What highlight was he looking at? Either he is a paid off official or he shouldn't be officiating games if he can't make a simple, obvious call that even a 12 year old could see. He should be fired!

But wait. We aren't through yet. A quarter later, the New York Giants get a first down on a short run- wait, what? Why did Bill Leavy place the ball a full YARD and a HALF behind where the runner was down? Why, to prevent New York from driving any further, stop the momentum, and give Green Bay the ball of course.

Fast forward to the 4th quarter. The Packers are reeling after another fumble and touchdown by the Giants. The Packers have the ball, down 30-13, and Aaron "untouchable" Rogers with his little yellow dress get plastered on a completely clean hit on 3rd down. In runs Bill Leavy to the Packers rescue, calling a ridiculous helmet to helmet "roughing the passer", giving the Packers a fresh set of downs and new life. This coming right after a series where Eli Manning took a ridiculous late hit by Clay Matthews that wasn't called.

Bill Leavy gave it all he got, but it just wasn't enough. Well done Giants!

I support the Marines who urinated on dead Taliban bodies.

2012-01-12T17:56:00.000-06:00

The reaction by the military brass, the mainstream media, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the president of Afghanistan, and anyone else condemning these Marines is appalling.

A long time ago, in a land far far away, Americans and military command, the American media, and those in high positions of power supported our fighting men and their mission, in good times and bad.

Today we live in an America that has turned its back altogether on the military, whether it be outright hostility towards their cause in Afghanistan or this disgusting, tantrum like reaction to this video of our brave troops desecrating Taliban bodies.

What is more vile than urinating on dead enemy bodies? The public outcry here at home and the traitorous abandonment by the military brass, the liberals, and everyone else is deplorable. It's disgusting. They act as if these are civilians. It's the enemy for goodness sake.

Imagine this. You are a 21 year old Marine deployed in the most hostile region of Afghanistan. You endure the heat, the physical toll of day to day operations, and heavy combat nearly every day. You have little food. No comforts of home. You know that the American public back home doesn't support your mission, yet you have to put your life on the line every single day anyway. You never know if the next day might be your last. You have seen first hand the brutality of the Taliban. Get the picture?

These people quick to criticize our fighting men as "animals" or whatever term they want to use have absolutely no idea what combat is like. They probably have never even held a rifle before.

What's worse, the media continues to run this story, plastering it everywhere they can and at the same time they pretend to play neutral, as if they have absolutely no involvement whatsoever in the story exploding worldwide. SHAME on them.

These people in the media and elsewhere whining and complaining about these 4 Marines make me sick. They are "outraged" all day by what these boys did overseas while they surf their internet, drink their lattes, eat their burgers and fries, watch their big screen HDTV, kiss their husband/wife/children, buy their new cars, new Ipods, new cameras, new clothes............ They couldn't imagine in their wildest dreams what it is like to be in a combat zone, fearing for their life every day.

I support these Marines. I still support the mission in Afghanistan. The Taliban are evil, evil people. Kill every last one, Marines. And keep desecrating the bodies.

The Cult of Ron Paul

2012-01-11T16:43:00.007-06:00

My original idea for this post was to simply share some outrageous online posts in the Youtube community by Ron Paul supporters but this effort proved futile. There are just too many, and so many to choose from. We would be here all day long. Here are some of my favorites...

Police are targeting drivers with Ron Paul bumber stickers, The city and township are coming after homeowners with the signs in their yard, ect. They would lock me away until after the election. All the while insisting that I'm not their prisoner. Afterward they would deny ever having done that. This isn't me kidding!
j69reap

The nerve of some people! Why you could never get a good Communist regime off the ground if everyone thought this way! Thank God for those who love Communism like Romney supporters, Gingrich supporters, Santorum supporters, etc.
In the meantime I'll be over yonder seeking freedom with my man Ron.

There is no doubt in my mind that Ron Paul has been unfairly treated by some media stations. I've seen it, Jon Stewart obviously has seen it. It exists! That much is true. However, many supporters of Ron Paul tend to go one step further. That it ISN'T just a smear campaign -- that Jon Stewart wants to bring to our attention, because he doesn't want candidates to be treated unfairly -- but a conspiracy. By the New World Order or the Illuminati or god knows what else. I mean ... ehh.

I completely agree with you on his honesty.1-2 weeks ago i didnt know who this guy was (im from Finland) and after seeing on many comments sections Ron Paul for 2012 i started to do a research and know I love that guy. I used to think Obama is the best choice, but this man rocks! If u wonder y i care about your elections its cos the president of the USA has so big influence around the globe :) Ron Paul would be good for USA and good for the world.

Ron Paul is not getting mainstream Zionist Run Media attention because the Zionist Jews in U.S. congress don't want to see him elected as a president!

Great speech! Our American Government is Zionist controlled and until that entity is removed we won't have peace.
HumansOpposingJews

Now, of course these above comments are not indicative of the Ron Paul base as a whole but.....well, all you need to do is spend a small amount of time on Youtube, Facebook, Yahoo! News or any other online public forum to see that there are a lot of Ron Paul supporters out there who are absolutely certifiably insane, and that's putting it lightly.

It is shocking really, and disgusting to see liberals and former Obama voters flock to this guy as the new Messiah. Much of what I see written and said by Ron Paul supporters closely follows along the ideological lines of the Occupy Wall Street protesters or the Cindy Sheehan crowd of years past.

I'm going to take the gloves off. And to the decent, civil, non cultish, and truly conservative Ron Paul supporters this isn't concerning you so don't crucify this "neo-con" just yet.

I am sick and tired of getting talked down to and chided by deranged Paulbots just because my first choice for president isn't Ron Paul. I am sick of hearing any of the following talking points...Alex Jones, 9/11 Truth, Illuminati, Zionist Occupation, Zionist media, Zionist Congress, Zionist Jews, Illegal wars, legalizing weed, New World Order, the end of the world if Ron Paul doesn't win, a conspiracy to silence Ron Paul, and that anyone who doesn't support Ron Paul is a pro-war "Neo-con" who bows down to the Jews.

These keyboard warriors take to the message boards day and night to spout their convoluted drivel. They are a dedicated bunch. They have earned the name "Paulbots". They spam anywhere they can, targeting mainly social networking sites and spamming any online political poll they can find. They create multiple accounts under Youtube, Facebook, Yahoo, and any other message board they can find. Just look at Youtube. Ron Paul has taken over Youtube because these maniacal Ron Paul supporters virtually live on Youtube. This is none other than cult behavior. There are thousands of Ron Paul videos made by Ron Paul cult followers, viewed millions of times by other Ron Paul cult followers and "liked" thousands of times by said cult followers. Look below any one political video on Youtube. 8 out of every 10 comments is by a crazed lunatic who follows Paul (likely too young to vote) spewing any of the above conspiracy theories, anti-Semetic crap, or insulting anyone who voices even the slightest concern about Ron Paul as being a "sheep". Eh- hypocrisy much?

Even Urban Dictionary has mentioned this phenomenon with their definition of a Paulbot:

A portmanteau word combining "Paul" and "bot" used as a moniker for avid followers of 2012 Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul. Supporters who act in a habitual, drone-like nature via constant domination of internet forums, polls or even real-life events (due to their overwhelming support for the candidate) are often subjected to the term.

(On a lighter note, here is the "Paulbot Creed" from Conservative Hideout 2.0.)

Says JJ Jackson of LibertyReborn.com:

"Yesterday I explicitly warned Paulbots that their attempts to spam me and pretend to be more than one person was not unknown. I said in my article, “In email after email the message is the same, word for droning word. Checking the IP Addresses in the email headers shows that many of these messages are being sent from the same computer under different emails. One enthusiastic Paulbot sent me the same message, under different Gmail addresses, thirty-seven times within the span of three hours. He even forgot to change his signature every time he sent it.” Yet how did Paulbots respond to my article about Ron Paul? If you guessed by spamming my inbox from multiple email addresses give yourself a gold star.

In fact, despite receiving over 1,000 emails calling me a liar, a traitor, a fool, etc. all these emails came from just four, that’s right four, IP addresses. Really Paulbots? Is that the best you can do? Sit around all day and send out hundreds of emails repeating the same thing over and over and over again? At least the four of you were smart enough to either not use a signature or change it with each one you sent."

Look on the message boards under any Yahoo! News article that has even the slightest connection to the 2012 election. Nothing but Ron Paul fanatics, accompanied by dozens of "thumbs ups" from other Ron Paul fanatics. Head on over to Facebook. It is the same story.

If you look around the internet, one would be convinced that Ron Paul is the front runner in the GOP race, and destined to be the next president of the United States in a landslide. This is because a large portion of the Ron Paul base is completely fanatic, obsessed, and devoted to him much like the mostly younger vote was devoted to Barack Obama in 2008. And most are tech savvy. They spend their time spreading Ron Paul love wherever and whenever they can. And while this may be a noble cause for these cultists, it isn't going to reshape the electorate which includes a lot of senior citizen voters who don't even know what Youtube or Facebook is.

I am just sick of it all. This Ron Paul hype from keyboard patriots is annoying, not just to other conservatives like myself, but to anyone else who isn't exactly fond of Ron Paul. Above all, the most sickening aspect of this online invasion by Paultards is the snide, self righteous, "I know more than you" attitude espoused by such radicals. You dare not even question anything about Paul, not his defense of Iran, not his empty voting record, not his support of Cynthia McKinney or Julian Assange, and definitely not his dislike towards Israel. You will be met with a hail of insults from the Paulbots, usually accusing you of being a "Zionist", "Jew lover", "Neo-con", "Pro-war Commie" (???), or my personal favorite, like earlier mentioned....a "sheep". I can only continue to laugh. (Oh where did my gold Star of David go).....

Joe Newby of the Spokane Conservative Examiner put it perfectly:

"Many of them support Paul because in their view, there simply is no viable conservative alternative to the current President. Again, that is just fine. But a large number of them - dubbed "Paulbots" by many - follow Paul as one might a cult leader. For those supporters, Paul is the "only man who can save America," a cross between Moses, George Washington and Plato. Intelligent political disussion with these creatures is literally impossible, as they start with the false premise that anyone who criticises Paul about anything is an unpatriotic, warmongering "neo-con" bent on death and destruction."

Ron Paul has truly attracted the most filthy of political activists across the entire political spectrum from far right neo-Nazis who hate Jews to the most far left anti-war Code Pink crowd. Has anyone even thought that maybe the fact that Ron Paul has attracted former Obama voters and Democrats might say a thing or two about Ron Paul?

Said one Paultard: "I'm thankful Ron Paul is man enough to face the warmongers head on. One day, as you sit in self imposed chains of despondency, withering in self pity and despair, wondering why you are so poor, pathetic, and imprisoned, perhaps you will think back to this moment--a moment when the chance to turn things around was staring you in the face--and you will groan in utter despair at your total depravity." One word: WOW.

Let's move on to another point. Ron Paul, our Savior and Messiah, can do no wrong. Ron Paul: "Hmm, well I uh, I think we need to uh, abolish the entire federal government, uh, and cut defense spending by 85%, uh.." Ron Paul cultists: "Praise be!! We are free! RON PAUL 2012!!" Ron Paul: "Nazis actually, uh, did what they thought was right, uh and uh, it wasn't our business..." Ron Paul cultists: "Right on! F Yeah! Dr. Paul! It's either him or no one! LIBERTY!!!!!!" Ron Paul: "Why wouldn't Iran want a weapon? I mean they are surrounded by all these countries...the Israelis are there, the Chinese are there, the Americans are there. If they got a nuclear weapon they would get more respect!" Ron Paul cultists: ....*crickets chirping* Oh, they fainted...

Now of course the first two statements above were only written to prove the point. The third statement was actually said by Ron Paul and that should prove an even bigger point.

To Ron Paul followers, the fanatics anyway, "DR. Paul" can do no wrong nor say no wrong. He is the embodiment of Jesus, Mohammad, Ghandi, and Mother Teresa all in one. Ron Paul is the savior of America and if he is not elected the world as we know it will cease to exist.

3) Changes in diet or sleep patterns (up day and night commenting on Ron Paul message boards and Youtube....CHECK)
4) Refusal to attend important family events
5) Inability to make decisions without consulting a cult leader or guru
6) Sudden use of a new ideology to explain everything (Can I check this one 8 million times?)
7) Black and white, simplistic reasoning ("Bring the troops home! War over forever!" uhhh. Check)
8) New vocabulary ("Blowback", "Fed", "Zionist"? How about we check this one.)
9) Insistence that you do what they are doing (CHECK!)

Of course this is evident with any popular public figure, but this insanity is so rancid, you can smell the stench of the 2008 Obama zombies in it. Ron Paul's base once held by decent conservatives committed to the principles of limited government and free markets has been hijacked by young people craving some V for Vendetta style revolution. They are devout, passionate, committed, and completely infatuated with Ron Paul. It is Ron Paul's way or the highway to them and if Ron Paul isn't nominated they are sitting this election out, even if that means Barack Obama wins a second term. Don't believe me? Just ask them. Make no mistake, this post is not an attack on Ron Paul. Further it isn't an attack on all Ron Paul supporters. Ron Paul has some really great ideas and I agree with him on virtually everything but foreign policy. This is a shout out to the thousands of Ron Paul cult member keyboard warriors who flood the internet with their insane babblings day and night. It is really just getting old, and the rest of the country feels the same.

I will end with a bit of humor, although eerily accurate...

Whittling away the GOP field. It is now a 2 man race.

2012-01-10T22:03:00.000-06:00

The New Hampshire primary results are in. Mitt Romney, as predicted, took first far and away (38%) over surprising second place finisher Ron Paul (24%).

In third place was Jon Huntsman with 17%, followed by Santorum and Gingrich who each had 10%.

Effectively, this primary vote has separated the men from the boys. Rick Perry, Jon Huntsman, Rick Santorum, and Newt Gingrich are all finished. The only two candidates with enough support, money, and ability to run a national campaign against Barack Obama are Mitt Romney and Ron Paul.

As we look ahead to South Carolina, a win there by Romney would seal the deal. However, if Ron Paul could garner enough support there to upset Romney this might change things. Already, the Paul campaign is calling for all others but Romney to drop out of the race and unite behind him. Unlikely, but if it were to happen the race could change entirely.

The latest poll, released Saturday has Romney in a commanding lead there, followed by Gingrich, Santorum and Ron Paul in 4th.

In light of this thinning of the herd, it is time for conservatives to start looking ahead down the road. No matter who gets the nomination, whether it be Romney or Paul, needs votes from everyone on the center-right in order to beat Obama. There is nothing Obama and the Democrats want more than a divided, splintered GOP, as is the case now.

Potentially, who would be the best ticket to defeat Obama?

Romney/Paul?
Paul/Romney? (haha)
Romney/Ryan?
Paul/Ryan? (no pun intended)

How about Marco Rubio or Rand Paul as a potential VP pick?

NBC/Facebook Debate more appalling than ABC Debate

2012-01-08T19:39:00.000-06:00

I watched the NBC/Facebook "Meet the ~~Press~~ Mess" debate hosted by none other than the pitiful left wing talking head David Gregory, and I must say, the complete and utter idiocy displayed by Gregory and his fellow instigator who seemed to be obsessed with homosexuality put George Stephanopolous and Diane Sawyer's circus act the night before to shame.

This "debate" was nothing more than a constant, pre planned effort by left wing journalists who hate conservatism to make the GOP splinter even further. David Gregory is an absolute joke. His questions were ridiculous and he routinely interrupted candidates while they tried to answer. Then he brings in some bozo from the NBC Boston affiliate who asks Rick Santorum how he would treat his son if he were gay.

*clap* *clap* *clap* Wonderful question. Where does the left come up with these people? The questioner seemed so adamant to keep the subject on homosexuality, I wonder if he himself was a homosexual. If so, SHAME on him, and shame on anyone who keeps making homosexuality an issue. No one cares about your sexuality! No one wants to hear about it! Just like Georgey whatever his name is the night before, having some fetish for contraception, this fool can't put down the issue of sodomy. This is the Democratic party of today.

Why are none of these candidates, except for Newt on occasions, calling out these blatantly biased debate hosts on sub-par, non objective journalism? Why do any of these candidates continue to play along in their game?

If you'll recall in 2008 during the Democratic primary debates, Barack Hussein Obama was routinely given questions that might sound like this....

"Senator Obama, what is your favorite food? We heard it was pizza, but could please elaborate?" In contrast, Hillary Clinton would then receive a question sounding something like this..."Senator Clinton, is it true you are Satan's mistress, or is this merely speculation?"

Now we have these absolutely idiotic left wing debate moderators with a deliberate preconceived notion to make these GOP hopefuls look and sound like fools, because they have to answer foolish questions.

Someone needs to quit playing the nice guy and take off the gloves, not towards each other, but towards the left wing talking heads who are openly, blatantly trying to weaken them before they, whoever they is, go up against Obama. Not only would it be wildly entertaining and satisfying for the conservative base to see this, it would be a huge boost to any of the GOP campaigns if they did so.

Ron Paul's microphone at New Hampshire debate and post debate analysis

2012-01-07T20:18:00.003-06:00

What was with that? I am no Ron Paul supporter but I am convinced that his microphone malfunction to start was absolutely no accident.

More to follow...

Post Debate Analysis

First of all, Rick Perry is done. He sealed his fate the instant he said he would send troops back to Iraq. Newt Gingrich had a good rant about anti-Christian bias that elicited cheers from the crowd, then finished with a thud when he said he would be watching college basketball on a Saturday night. As a whole...tonight was the Mitt Romney show from start to finish. Nothing but a big fat slobberfest over Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney, the king of platitudes, was smooth as usual. But, my goodness, why doesn't anyone truly, directly, boldly attack him and his liberal record? This was highlighted by the ABC commentators (not that I have much respect for them) but why didn't Ron Paul of all people do it? Instead, Ron Paul, in his erradic, quirkiness, lambasted Newt Gingrich for not serving in the military. Who cares?! I resent Ron Paul and his foreign policy, but a big part of me does want to support him, because I am all in on his domestic views. Part of me was rooting for Ron Paul tonight, especially after his microphone had issues to start. What a coincidence. It didn't take long before that sympathy for him faded, when he went on some ridiculous whiny rant about minorities not being treated fairly in the military and whites getting preferential treatment in the justice system. A meager attempt at Ron Paul to reign in the minority vote. I would like to hear any Paul supporters' thoughts on this. My support for John Huntsman as slowly grown these past few weeks and I think he would be a great pick for vice president. Santorum had his moments, and reiterated he is a strong candidate. His best line was in response to Ron Paul saying what a wonderful thing it was that our Navy rescued the Iranians in the Persian Gulf: "Under your presidency, we wouldn't have had any ships to rescue them." The bottom line from tonight's debate is this. No one did anything meaningful or unforgettable to attack Romney. In fact, who is the candidate who consistently attacks Barack Obama? Romney. While Romney attacks Obama, the rest bicker amongst themselves. And Ron Paul, the one with enough power and pull to bring down Romney focuses on his old worn out whining about government being too big instead of ripping Romney. If Paul wants mainstream GOP support he's going to have to do that. Mitt will win New Hampshire, and the way it is looking, South Carolina. Another thought to end with. Supposedly, according to the token Democrat commentator (don't remember her name and don't care), Mitt Romney is the weakest candidate to challenge Obama. That only tells me the opposite, that the Dems are most afraid of him.

As always, no matter who wins the nomination, they have my vote. Anyone but Obama. Your thoughts on tonight's debate are welcome in the comment section.

Teenagers beat girl unconscious on school bus. What would you do?

2012-01-07T15:27:00.001-06:00

7 teens charged with beating classmate unconscious

One girl allegedly asked students if they wanted to hit the victim, then instructed the teens to form a circle and began hitting and kicking the victim. Several witnesses said they saw the girl fall to the floor and "appear to have a seizure and pass out," according to the arrest report.

The victim, who is not being identified, was taken to the hospital and diagnosed with a concussion, severe bruising on her head and muscle spasms.

Seven teens, ranging in age from 12 to 15, were charged with battery and disorderly conduct. The Associated Press is not identifying the suspects because they are minors.

I am going to go out on a whim and say the majority, if not all, of the assailants, who should be charged as adults in my opinion, were black. I say this simply because of the fact the article mentions nothing about race. Had it been a black girl getting pummeled by a mob of white or hispanic students this story would be plastered all over CNN and MSNBC. Just a thought.

A second thought: what would you have done if you were the bus driver?

The article says he intervened the first time and the second time he couldn't control the situation so he drove to the school to notify officials. Were these 12-15 year old kids on steroids? Were they 6 foot 2 and 190+ pounds? Maybe the bus driver was an old man, who knows. All I know is, had I been the driver and saw the mob of animals beating a 13 year old girl to death I would have slammed on the brakes in the middle of the road, put the bus in park, and charged back there fists flying like a crazed maniac. Any man when put in a situation like this should have his adrenaline pumping paternal instincts to protect a child completely take over. Or if you are a woman, that maternal "Mama Bear" instinct. I think I would be more afraid of that one! Anyhow, when it comes to something like this where a girl's life is at risk, these attackers are not children. They are subhuman animals beneath dogs. I would have found no more delight than to have been able to land a clean blow right on the nose or jaw of each one of these animals. The more blood the better! I am sure a few of them would have been light enough to pick up and throw clear to the back of the bus.

So I ask what would you have done?

The religion of peace did well in 2011!

They wasted no time in continuing to spread the religion of peace, killing 5 people in a bomb blast in Kenya...just minutes after midnight.

All these attacks are most certainly the work of Zionist propagandists and Mossad agents in close cooperation with the CIA. Russian, Indian, and Chinese authorities in agreement with Paultard Academy graduates conclude that most, if not all, attacks were the result of interventionist American foreign policy and Israel.

If you have not heard of Brigitte Gabriel you will not forget her name after watching this video series. Learn a little bit about the history of the global conflict between the Islamic world and the Western world. This woman has an amazing grasp of history in a broader context and truly understands the real reasons why we see such violence in the world today from the Islamic world. It isn't retribution for American actions. It is deep seeded ideology that predates America itself.

The Ron Paul Divide

2012-01-03T21:50:00.000-06:00

This debate over Ron Paul really has me metaphorically tossing and turning. Those of you who read here on a regular basis know my distaste for Ron Paul, his foreign policy, and his zealous following. This has likely aliened my mainly libertarian/Tea Party readership. Maybe a few of you even have a personal dislike for this "neocon" as I have a personal dislike for the average Ron Paul follower. That's okay. It's part of the political process. We are living democracy.

I will admit, I feel bad about not supporting Ron Paul because I side with him on 90% of the issues. It is that 10% foreign policy thorn in the side that just makes me seethe sometimes. And it is enough to cause myself, and most Republicans, to shy away from him.

The divide is not social issues. It isn't economic issues. It isn't health care. And it isn't taxes. The fundamental difference that divides the Republican party right now is national defense, and the philosophy behind it.

We all hate Obama. We all hate big government. We all hate the nanny state, government run healthcare, crooked politicians, bailouts, high taxes, illegal immigration, gun control and a skyrocketing national deficit. I get it!

We can all agree on these issues.

This is to educate those zealous Ron Paul supporters on why some conservatives, like myself, do not support Ron Paul. I know there are many fervent patriots out there who support the banner of liberty, freedom, and Constitutionalism who cannot seem to fathom that another conservative or libertarian will not side with the Ron Paul "revolution".

Here is why. Radical Islam. I believe the threat of Islam around the world is real and not some CIA fabricated fake threat to get me to support a war for oil. It isn't the "Zionist" media framing the Muslim world. Islamic terrorism exists everywhere. It strikes everywhere. It is real. Ron Paul says terrorism exists because of American intervention everywhere. I fundamentally disagree. Why do Islamic extremists strike in China, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Russia, Spain, Canada, and India? Surely these attacks were not prompted by the United States or Israel. Ron Paul and Ron Paul followers refuse to accept these truths. That there is an evil enemy in the world now just as there was in 1938. That we need to identify this enemy. And that we need to stand up to this enemy. I believe the best way to do this is to continue a close alliance with Israel. I also believe we need to continue annihilating terror networks through military action. I also believe the biggest state sponsor of terrorism, Iran, should not be simply ignored.

To me, Ron Paul and Ron Paul followers have a simplistic view of the world. "Bring all the troops home. Guard our borders." "No more wars." "We shouldn't get involved." Ok....what does that even mean?
It's so easy to say. "Bring all the troops home! Yay! The war is over forever! Worldwide peace!"
Are we to withdraw our entire fleet from Bahrain? Had we done that, Iran would have already closed the Strait of Hormuz. Are we to completely leave Korea? Had we done that, a 2nd Korean War would certainly be inevitable. Are we to bring all our troops home from Ramstein and Landstuhl in Germany? The Germans and other European allies of ours like having us there to train together and continue building a good military relationship together.

Having troops abroad is a deterrent to war. That's a fact. Are we supposed to sit back and watch while an ally, South Korea, gets ravaged by the North Koreans or Chinese? Are we supposed to sit back while another arab state alliance surrounds and attacks Israel? Are we supposed to sit back while Iran obtains a nuclear bomb?

Maybe, if you support Ron Paul's view of the world, you do believe we should just sit back. Put Americans first. It's okay if our allies get attacked. We can't afford to help them and it isn't our business or our fight. Or maybe you, as a Ron Paul supporter, detest Israel and our alliance with them. Then it would make sense to side with Iran, Hamas, and the rest of the nations that hate them. Maybe you believe there is no threat at all. "Neocons" like myself are "warmongers" who hype up fabricated threats for some grand conspiracy ridden agenda to expand the American "empire". You are wrong on all levels. You are foolish to ignore that there are hostile states and hostile terrorist networks who despise us and want to destroy us as a nation. You are foolish to think that bringing all of our troops home to "guard the homefront" is a viable strategy in protecting our country. You are foolish to think there is no evil in the world. And if you are one who does believe there is evil in the world and that non interventionism is a good option, you are even more foolish.

I also understand the overused concept of "blowback" and that foreign policy intervention has consequences and ripples later in time. Yes, our country has made some mistakes. Yes, sometimes we get too involved. No country is perfect! The bottom line is pro-defense conservatives, like myself, believe we have a responsibility as a world power, not to be the world's policeman, but to be a protector and defender not just of ourselves, but our friends as well, because there are evil powers at work in the world besides the Federal Reserve and the global oligarchy. There are people who want to kill you and there are people who want to see a world without America. And a world without Israel and Britain as well.

I believe we have a justified obligation and responsibility to take a stand against evil nations and evil people who want to kill us. But before you can believe that, you have to believe the enemy is out there. To deny the existence of the threat of radical Islam is naive. Perhaps my worldview is simplistic to you, just as yours is to me. But this is where I stand.

Now to Barack Obama. Something we can all agree to hate. We can agree to disagree on foreign policy. Whether you are a libertarian Ron Paul supporter, a moderate liberal conservative who likes Mitt Romney, or an evangelical Christian who prefers to see Rick Santorum in the White House. Let's not forget this. Whoever wins this GOP nomination needs full support from the entire center-right. Tea Partiers, libertarians, southern Baptists, New England moderates, Midwest social conservatives, Ron Paul independents, Sarah Palin fans, Michele Bachmann fans, hard right Micheal Savage listeners, and everyone in between. Everyone needs to get behind the nominee, whoever that may be. Because we are going to need all the momentum, power, and fire to steamroll Barack Hussein Obama in November!

The infighting right now in the GOP will eventually come to an end, and that is when we all can focus our attention and anger at the real enemy. That disgrace that's been occupying the White House.

Ron Paul's best friend Iran threatens to attack US Navy in Persian Gulf

2012-01-03T14:13:00.002-06:00

Pentagon pushes back on Iranian warnings to U.S. aircraft carrier

"Iran will not repeat its warning ... the enemy's carrier has been moved to the Sea of Oman because of our drill," Iran Army chief Ataollah Salehi said Tuesday, Reuters reported. "I advise, recommend and warn them over the return of this carrier to the Persian Gulf because we are not in the habit of warning more than once."

Probably just big talk but a direct threat nonetheless. Please bear in mind a few things.
1) Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons.
2) They have openly vowed to attack and destroy our ally, Israel.
3) They have openly threatened the United States and covertly supported terrorism in Iraq that has killed hundreds of American troops.

And most importantly...

4) They have the complete support and sympathy from US Presidential hopeful Ron Paul.

When the question of Iran comes up, EVERY SINGLE TIME, Ron Paul defends them, defends their actions, and tries to explain away and justify why they are so hostile. And why are they so hostile? Because of America, of course.

At least Obama pretends to support and defend this country!

UPDATE:

I do not support, advocate, or desire the idea of going to war with Iran! And neither do other pro-defense conservatives.

Connecticut middle school students take a field trip to a mosque.

2012-01-01T22:27:00.000-06:00

Hartford kids visit local religious facilities

I calmly and civilly call upon on all religion hating liberals to denounce this open violation of separation of church and state.

A mosque, synogogue, and a ~~Christian~~ Greek Orthodox church? A Catholic or Protestant church, of course, is unacceptable and dangerous. Could you imagine the outrage if the good liberal children in Connecticut were forced to take a field trip to Hartford Baptist Church or St. John's Cathedral? Learning about the 5 pillars of Islam, menorah lighting, and, well-whatever it is Greek Orthodox Monks do, is educational you see.

Couldn't learning about the birth, life and teachings, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus be educational too? Pardon my french and irony...hell no! Not in today's modern society strangled by progressive liberal political correctness.

This kind of crap really just makes my blood boil.

Watch out for Obama/Clinton in 2012.

2011-12-31T16:52:00.000-06:00

As 2011 comes to a close and 2012 right around the corner, let's not underestimate the boy king and his hopes for a second reign.

As awful a president as Barack Obama has been in his first term, he will still get a significant number of votes because there are still many people in this country who are stupid. Many people who actually like him. And many people who still hate anything and everything Republican from the 8 Bush years.

An Obama/Biden ticket poses some threat. An Obama/Clinton ticket will be extremely, painfully tough to beat.

There is a lot of bickering, mud slinging, name calling, and divisiveness within the GOP as the Iowa Caucuses approach. As conservatives, libertarians, and Americans, let's not let the current infighting take our eye off the primary goal...defeating Barack Obama at all cost.

Whether you support the spineless, whiny WronG Paul, who blames America more than Barack Obama, or the Obama-Lite Mitt-for-Brains Romney, or the screeching crow Michele Bachmann, or even the money grubbing fat, tub of lard Newt Gingrich...no matter who wins the nomination, we all need to support them in any way we can throughout the year up until election day!

Let's not forget that going into 2012. Have a blessed and safe holiday!

More reasons why I (still) won't support Ron Paul.

2011-12-29T17:11:00.001-06:00

The more I see Ron Paul gaining steam, and the more people I know personally begin to profess their love for Ron Paul, the more I feel compelled to voice my staunch opposition to him.

I know I am not the only one who feels like their head is spinning, and sometimes downright sickened, by this year's GOP candidates, their campaigns, and the upcoming Iowa Caucuses.

I will admit, I was sucked in by a few GOP hopefuls who appeared to have potential and promise. Rick Perry, the Texas Governor turned intoxicated retard. And Herman Cain, the successful businessman and orator...who turned out to have a little too much personal baggage with the ladies. Michele Bachmann and Newt Gingrich also enjoyed short lived rises to the top and horrific crashes to the bottom. I never had any real interest in either of them.

Which leaves us with 3 candidates with less than a week left before the Iowa Caucuses begin. Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, and a guy who has been under the radar for a while and punctuated on the devastating failures of the other former front runners...Rick Santorum.

To any freedom loving conservative who supports defending America, Rick Santorum is the obvious choice.

To liberal Republicans and moderates, there is Mitt Romney.

To liberals, anarchists, Truthers, right wing extremists, and libertarians who have no desire to defend America, there is Ron Paul.

And so I get to the main body of this post. Why I (still) won't support Ron Paul.

Julian Assange and the Wikileaks scandal
In December of 2010, the Wikileaks scandal involving Army private Bradley Manning and Wikileaks mastermind Julian Assange was full blown in the media worldwide. Manning had sold top secret US military documents to Wikileaks that included sensitive information that put US servicemember's lives at risk, as well as compromising missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. How did Ron Paul react? Ron Paul defended Julian Assange saying, “In a free society we're supposed to know the truth. In a society where truth becomes treason, then we're in big trouble. And now, people who are revealing the truth are getting into trouble for it.” Paul also referred to Bradley Manning as "a true Patriot" and "political hero".

Views on Israel and Palestinians
Anyone who has ever listened to Ron Paul speak knows he is clearly anti-Israel. Take it from Eric Dondero, who has worked for Ron Paul since 1987. “He wishes the Israeli state did not exist at all. He expressed this to me numerous times in our private conversations. His view is that Israel is more trouble than it is worth, specifically to the American taxpayer. He sides with the Palestinians, and supports their calls for the abolishment of the Jewish state, and the return of Israel, all of it, to the Arabs.” Need I say any more? See this, this, this, and this. If you believe in supporting Israel as an ally, you simply don't support Ron Paul.

Blowback and WWII
Again, Dondero says this, "he strenuously does not believe the United States had any business getting involved in fighting Hitler in WWII. He expressed to me countless times, that ‘saving the Jews,’ was absolutely none of our business. When pressed, he often times brings up conspiracy theories like FDR knew about the attacks of Pearl Harbor weeks before hand, or that WWII was just ‘blowback’ for Woodrow Wilson’s foreign policy errors, and such." Don't take his word for it though. Ron Paul himself, when asked whether he would have sent troops to fight Nazi Germany in response to the Holocaust said, "No, I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t risk American lives to do that. If someone wants to do that on their own because they want to do that, well, that’s fine, but I wouldn’t do that." And here is something as simple as supporting military actions in World War 2, and Paul, like he so often does, refusing to agree.

Refusing to go after bin Laden
Following the raid and killing of Osama bin Laden, Ron Paul, instead of supporting the actions and commending the SEALS like any normal American, said this, "It was absolutely not necessary. What if he had been in a hotel in London?" For any American victory, Ron Paul has an antidote.

Denial of Islamic terrorism
In response to Michele Bachmann calling out Islamic terrorists, Paul said,
“she doesn’t like Muslims, she hates them, she wants to go get ‘em”. What kind of pro defense Republican attacks another Republican for vowing to defend America? Watch this video where Paul refuses to acknowledge Islamic suicide bombers, shifting the blame to America yet again. And watch this, straight from his own website.

Bill Maher supports Ron Paul

Ron Paul's words of wisdom regarding 9/11
On, of all days, the day before the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, Ron Paul posted this on his website, saying the war on terrorism has only made things worse. He does not even support the idea of attacking the Taliban in Afghanistan following 9/11. Listen to Ron Paul's anti American diatribe when asked about 9/11. Here is Paul declaring the war in Afghanistan as "illegal".

Views on Iran
Iran has repeatedly denounced the United States and Israel as evil nations with threatening words of war.
"A world without America" they say. "We will wipe Israel off the face of the earth" they say. "We should offer friendship to Iran", Ron Paul says. He even went on Iranian state TV to spout his support for Hamas and hatred towards Israel.

If you agree with Ron Paul, that Israel should not exist, and is the source of the world's problems, along with the United States, victimizing poor Muslims for decades now, and that we should be friends, even with the most despicable of nations, then it would make sense to support Ron Paul.

If you have even the slightest bit of backbone, and hold libertarian conservative beliefs and ALSO believe that evil does exist in the world, that America is not the cause of all the world's problems, and that America should be defended from evil nations then it is ever so clear that Ron Paul is cut from the same cloth as Barack Obama.
