What 'Highly Trained and Certified' Professors Don't Want You to Know

It's about time...

clipped from pajamasmedia.com Most have heard reports about the outrages in our schools: Ward Churchill writing that the 9/11 victims were “little Eichmanns”; 1960s terrorist, now professor of education, William Ayers addressing high school and college students; Al Gore propagandizing via his film An Inconvenient Truth in classrooms; and now President Barack Obama wanting to get elementary school children to scrutinize themselves on how they are fulfilling what he “asks” them to do. I’d like to say these are exceptions, but after nearly two decades in education, I have to say that they are the tips of icebergs that aren’t melting.

The WH is infested with anti-Americans...

clipped from www.newsmax.com Obama 'Green Jobs' Adviser Van Jones Quits WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama's environmental adviser Van Jones, who became embroiled in a controversy over past inflammatory statements, has resigned his White House job after what he calls a "vicious smear campaign against me." The resignation, disclosed without advance notice by the White House in an e-mail minutes into Sunday on a holiday weekend, came as Obama is working to regain his footing in the contentious health care debate. Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs" with the White House Council on Environmental Quality was linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the 2001 terror attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans. After the resignation, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Obama did not endorse Van Jones' comments but thanked him for his service.

Same old people involved.

clipped from www.nytimes.com A wealthy New York investor and prominent Democratic Party fund-raiser with ties to President Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton was arrested on Tuesday and accused of lying about his assets to obtain a $74 million loan from Citibank.

Ramadan? In. National Day of Prayer? Out.

"One of the most beautiful sounds on Earth, is the Muslim call to prayer in the evening" -- Obama

clipped from townhall.com Obama is marking the start of Ramadan with a video message straight from the White House. In it, he says Ramadan advances the notions of justice, progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings. Less than four months ago, Obama refused to acknowledge America's National Day of Prayer with a traditional White House ceremony, and instead issued a cheap paper proclamation. Shirley Dobson, chairwoman of the National Day of Prayer Committee, said the following to Fox News before the National Day of Prayer was to take place: We are disappointed in the lack of participation by the Obama administration... At this time in our country's history, we would hope our president would recognize more fully the importance of prayer. Seems like he does....as long as it doesn't have an Judeo-Christian flavor to it.

Instead, the letter said, the plan would pay for comfort care, including "physician aid in dying," better known as assisted suicide. "I told them, I said, 'Who do you guys think you are?' You know, to say that you'll pay for my dying, but you won't pay to help me possibly live longer?' " Wagner said.

Jihadist professor at Kent State University

It's a good start...

clipped from townhall.com Secret Service Raids Professor - Blog This! Last week, I wrote an open letter to John Kasich, pleading with him to do something about a mentally unstable Jihadist professor at Kent State University. The professor has been linked to terrorist activity – such as posting bomb-making instructions on a terrorist website. He’s also posted pleas to use the bombs against American troops. And I’ve amassed evidence that he contributed to that terrorist website using his Kent State University computer. Nonetheless, the professor who should already have been water-boarded, tried, and sentenced continued to taunt me after the article ran last Friday. In fact, on Saturday, he sent me the following email – again using his Kent State University computer:

Whitehouse Strong Arming Congress

Chicago politics at work...

clipped from republicans.oversight.house.gov Issa to Emanuel: Back Off! August 4, 2009 WASHINGTON. D.C. – Following reports that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has been orchestrating an effort to intimidate members of Congress and Governors who raise legitimate concerns regarding the effectiveness of the stimulus, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R-CA) sent a letter to Emanuel saying “While this type of scare tactic may work In Chicago, it will not work to intimidate me or other Members of the United States Congress.” “I and others have dared to bring these facts to the attention of President Obama, the Congress and the American people,” Issa wrote.  “You’ve unfortunately reacted by once again resorting to the playbook of the Chicago political machine.”

Will Internet Free Speech Crackdowns Come to America?

They are trying to:

clipped from pajamasmedia.com As Canada and Australia seek broad surveillance powers over the web, an Obama advisor wants to eliminate "destructive falsehoods" online. We don’t hear much about “the Anglosphere” anymore. The term was coined after 9/11 to distinguish freedom-loving Western allies from those nations sympathetic or indifferent to Islamic jihad. Sadly, the Anglosphere’s cheerleaders have since learned that the West isn’t always a reliable champion of liberty, either. Two “Anglospheric” nations in particular — Australia and Canada — have revealed a troubling urge to stifle free speech, especially on the Internet. Geist is the Canada Research Chair of Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa and an internationally recognized expert on technology law. He warns that the act “will embed broad new surveillance capabilities in the Canadian Internet.”

The eugenics roots of the pro-abortion movement

"More children for the fit, less for the unfit." By unfit, Sanger meant the mentally retarded or physically handicapped; later her definition expanded.

clipped from groups.csail.mit.edu These articles are concerned with two separate but related things: the eugenics roots of the pro-abortion movement, and the connection between modern legalized abortion and the specter of eugenics. The Specter Of Pro-Choice Eugenics Nat Hentoff, The Washington Post Pro-choice forces are so intent on removing all obstacles to abortion that eugenics is no specter to them. The eugenics roots of the pro-abortion movement Margaret Sanger, who founded Planned Parenthood, remains a hero to the abortion movement and a "liberator" to the prestige press. In the book Pivot of Civilization she described her objectives: "More children from the fit, less from the unfit..." The people Sanger considered unfit were "all non-aryan people."

Radicalism Goes Mainstream

clipped from www.americanvision.org Why does the Left sympathize with radical Islamic extremists? Over the July 4th weekend a story about how a recent New York City Council resolution that recommend the city’s school system shut down to commemorate two of the most important Muslim holidays was picked up by Islamic groups and declared as a victory for Allah and Islam. Why would these nut-balls do such a thing? By “nut-balls,” I mean the New York City Council. This is the same New York City that went through the horrors of 9–11. What are these people thinking? Even Mayor Bloomberg has better sense. Give him time. It won’t be long before he capitulates. “Righteous violence” has always been rationalized by the Left going back to early Union violence because it was a means to bring down the establishment:

A Second Stimulus Package? Yikes!

India, Japan and the U.S. repeatedly deliver unaffordable and ineffective spending proposals.

clipped from www.forbes.com "Calls Grow to Increase Stimulus Spending," says a recent front-page Wall Street Journal headline. Author Deborah Solomon claims, "Some economists are pressuring the White House to enact a second round of stimulus spending." The article mentions only two economists, however, one of whom heads "a left-leaning Washington think tank" (the Economic Policy Institute) that always tries to pressure the government to spend more. The other, a former Bush official, dreams of "something that is relatively fast and thoughtful" like "personal tax cuts." But asking Congress to do something fast and thoughtful is like asking fish to fly. Ironically, another headline in the same paper on the same day said, "Spending Spooks India's Sensex." The article read: "Indian stocks fell 5.8% Monday amid concern the proposed government budget will add to the country's fiscal deficit."

Our Laws, Not Foreign Laws

clipped from www.centerforajustsociety.org One of the threats facing our judiciary is the view that judges can use the laws of foreign nations to interpret the American Constitution. This is not an abstract argument but a view shared by legal minds across the country and put into practice by our own Supreme Court. It must be refuted and rejected - it is dangerous, and it is wrong. It is dangerous to our rights and liberties and to the Constitution that protects them. It is wrong because it violates the entire concept of republican government, in which the moral authority of our laws derives from the fact that they represent the justly expressed will of "we the people." Simply put: Do judges serve American citizens or the citizens of the world?

Obama Administration to Involve NSA in Defending Civilian Agency Networks

The msm trashed Bush for the same thing.

clipped from www.washingtonpost.com The Obama administration will proceed with a Bush-era plan to use National Security Agency assistance in screening government computer traffic on private-sector networks, with AT&T as the likely test site, according to three current and former government officials. President Obama said in May that government efforts to protect computer systems from attack would not involve "monitoring private sector networks or Internet traffic" and Department of Homeland Security officials say that the new program will only scrutinize data going to or from government systems.

Helen Thomas: Not Even Nixon Tried to Control the Media Like Obama

This is remarkable.

clipped from www.cnsnews.com (CNSNews.com) - Following a testy exchange during Wednesday’s briefing with White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas told CNSNews.com that not even Richard Nixon tried to control the press the way President Obama is trying to control the press. “Nixon didn’t try to do that,” Thomas said. “They couldn’t control (the media). They didn’t try. “What the hell do they think we are, puppets?” Thomas said. “They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them.” “When you call the reporter the night before you know damn well what they are going to ask to control you,” Thomas said.

Helen Thomas and Chip Reid Challenge Obama Admin. On 'Controlled' Town Hall Meeting

clipped from www.newsmax.com White House spokesman Robert Gibbs and the Obama administration found the press corps slightly less friendly than they are used to yesterday, when CBS's Chip Reid asked why the questions for Wednesday’s town hall on healthcare were being selected beforehand. Gibbs tried to dodge the issue, and asked for it to be asked after the town hall meeting in question, but then Helen Thomas became involved, saying, “We have never had that in the White House. I’m amazed that you people … call for openness and transparency.” Reid and Thomas didn't let up for a second, especially Thomas. To see the video, of the full exchange, Go Here Now. Karl Rove opined on Fox News this morning that, to some extent, Gibbs had a point in saying that, since people are free to ask whatever questions they want, the president should be allowed to answer whichever questions he wants.

Fox News Breaks Records on Cable News

clipped from www.newsmax.com The Fox News Channel is having its best year ever and aired all 10 of the top-rated cable news shows in the second quarter of 2009. "Since Obama came into office, Fox has continued not only winning, but doing so at unprecedented levels," Michael Calderone noted on Politico. Fox showed a 33 percent rise in total viewers last quarter compared to the second quarter of 2008, and a 54 percent increase in younger viewers for its primetime weekday shows. The biggest gainer on Fox was Glenn Beck. "Beck, who takes aim at the administration repeatedly, is proving an even bigger draw since coming over from HLN: His 5 p.m. slot is up 110 percent from last year," Calderone disclosed.

Questions raised as top Amtrak inspector resigns

Inspector number 3.

clipped from www.boston.com WASHINGTON - The inspector general of Amtrak unexpectedly resigned Thursday night, becoming the third such federal official to leave prematurely since the Obama administration took office and the latest in a string of potentially controversial moves involving government watchdogs. Fred E. Weiderhold, a 35-year veteran of the agency who was responsible for rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse, is the most high-profile change among the group of senior government officials who have responsibility to conduct independent investigations of federal agencies and institutions. “As Amtrak’s first and only Inspector General, Fred has made important contributions in helping the Board of Directors understand key issues facing the railroad and made useful recommendations to improve how we do business,’’ Amtrak chairman Thomas Carper said in a statement yesterday. “We thank him for his dedicated service to Amtrak and wish him well in his retirement.’’

Christian Group Fined by State of Maine for Offending Muslims

The end of free speech?

clipped from www.christianaction.org FOREST, VA - In what could be a landmark legal case, the Christian Action Network has been fined $3,000 for mailing letters containing an "inflammatory anti-Muslim message" and for using Governor John Baldacci's name "without his written consent." Maine's legal action against Christian Action Network (CAN) was prompted by a letter the organization sent out nationally that exposed Islamic programs in public schools and a request that citizens sign a petition to their governor opposing such programs. Maine's Department of Professional and Financial Regulation accuses CAN of "using the name of John Baldacci, Governor of the State of Maine, without his written consent for the purpose of soliciting contributions from persons in this state…"

Key Iranian Dissident Riled at Obama's Approach

Obama doesn't speak for most Americans

clipped from www.newsmax.com A key Iranian dissident tells Newsmax he was stunned when he heard President Barack Obama tell reporters that, despite government's brutal crackdown in Tehran, the Islamic Republic has time to regain “legitimacy” in the eyes of the Iranian people. “I was hoping President Obama would lead the world and start a boycott of Iranian oil,” said former presidential candidate and opposition activist Mohsen Sazegara. “This is the best way to save the lives of the Iranian people.” Instead, Sazegara told Newsmax, he listened to Obama’s news conference on Tuesday with a sense of disbelief. It's "not too late for the Iranian government to see there is a peaceful path that leads to legitimacy in the eyes of the Iranian people,” Obama told reporters when asked for his reaction to the violence in Iran.

Barack And His Dad: A Kenyan Economy For The U.S.A.

Sad but true.

clipped from townhall.com Quick - - what do you know about the country of Kenya? That’s the country with the world’s greatest GDP, low inflation and stable employment - - right? Well, no. In 2008, the United States had the greatest GDP of any individual country in the world (it came in second behind the 27 nations of the European Union), whereas Kenya produced the world’s 82nd largest GDP. Kenya endured an annual inflation rate of 9.7% in 2008 (current inflation figures for Kenya are unavailable), while the United States recently posted an inflation rate of .1%. And while the United States is currently struggling with an unemployment rate of slightly over 9%, Kenya has suffered for most of this decade with an unemployment rate of roughly 40% (here again, precise, up-to-date figures are unavailable).

Education panel votes to add 2 Muslim holidays to school calendar

The beginning of the end?

clipped from www.silive.com Young Muslim women attend a meeting of Sisters Empowering Sisters on Staten Island in 2007. It's not easy having to choose between religion and education. Some would even say it's not fair. But for those people whose religious holidays aren't recognized by the public school system, that's the choice they have to make. Yesterday, the City Council's Education Committee advocated to eliminate that dilemma -- at least for Muslim families. The committee passed a resolution that would call upon the city Department of Education to incorporate two major Muslim holidays into the school calendar. The committee has also been pushing for the introduction of a state law that would require schools to close on those two days.
