A Report By Geert Wilders

patriot1949 — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 20:14:20 +0000

Geert Wilders is a Member of the Dutch Parliament.

In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: “Who lost Europe ?” Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom the Netherlands , at the Four Seasons in New York , introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem ..

Dear friends,
Thank you very much for inviting me.

I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First, I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe . Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem .

The Europe you know is changing.

You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.

All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It’s the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe . These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.

There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe . With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.

Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden . In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.

In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.

Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear ‘whore, whore’. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.

In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin . The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.

In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels , because he was drinking during the Ramadan.

Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel .. I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.

A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live. San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.

Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France . One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call ‘respect’. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.

The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey .

Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I call the perpetrators ‘settlers’. Because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.

Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.

The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages – at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.

Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means ‘submission’. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.

Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam ‘the most retrograde force in the world’, and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel . First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz; second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.

This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam’s territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines , Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan , Lebanon , and Aceh in Indonesia . Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.

The war against Israel is not a war against Israel . It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel , Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.

Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel , they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a ‘right-wing extremists’ or ‘racists’. In my country, the Netherlands , 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat. Yet there is a greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America – as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome , Athens and Jerusalem ….

Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe , American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe ‘s children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.

We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.

In 2012 Fox News And The GOP Will Not Allow Mr. Smith To Washington

patriot1949 — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 19:54:55 +0000

Written by SKADI
I’d like to say it does not surprise me that regular folk are not allowed into the GOPS good ol’
Boys club, but it does. Why? For the simple reason that it was not too long ago that regular folk showed up in huge numbers to vote Republican in 2010. We removed Nancy Pelosi as Speaker and won the House back for the party. We could use a quid pro quo with the beltway power elite however they’d just sneer down their pointy noses at us. We are not allowed to the table anymore. What is strange is this: It’s our country, our government and as far as the GOP is concerned we are their voters. Yet, when it comes to actually doing what we want them to, they ignore us.
With the election upon us we are being told that Bain Capital CEO, Robber Baron Mitt Romney is the only candidate that can beat Barack Obama in the election. This man was governor of Massachusetts and his record was fiscally irresponsible. His judicial picks were horrifying, His record on abortion ridiculous and his record on gun ownership dismal. In fact he is the father of Obama care. Romney care in Massachusetts was the template for the fiscal Godzilla that Obama care is. Of course the beltway GOP, the Georgette Mosbachers, the newsies at Fox, the editors at National Review, Weekly Standard and several members of congress are foisting this man down the throats of the voters and all but sneering at any outsider who has a chance to actually beat Obama. These people definitely are not fans of Mr. Smith, regular Joe. It also appears that Romney has the cash for a quid pro quo with these beltway drones, while we the voter is merely taken for granted. If Megyn Kelly dislikes a candidate for whatever shallow, vacuous reason she can put through her pea sized brain then by GOD we should too. And sadly many of us Mr. Smiths take the word of botoxed air heads and insipid communications majors as gospel. I forget Ms. Kelly is a lawyer. This of course brings on an entirely new reason to roll one’s eyes and say that’s nice Megyn.
Here is the honest truth to you voters who think guys like Rick Perry are unworthy of office. You have been lied to and had. You have been manipulated by cynical beltway sleaze and New York media who do not have your best interest at heart. They are forcing you to think that Mitt Romney, Mr. Man Made Climate Change is the candidate. The reason is this: They like the status quo. They want a guy that will do their dance and they don’t care about the country. If Mitt Romney was actually a good man he’d be the transparent candidate that others are but when a guy doesn’t even let the media see his tax returns, well we all need to stop and pause.
What bothers me about this is the media has made it too easy. Too simple for the voter to go along with everything they say. They treat us like inane idiots, and the dc establishment helps foster this by attacking any GOP outsiders. If you want to balance the budget, reform Medicare, make the hard decisions you are isolated and called stupid. For an example look at what the GOP establishment has done to Rick Perry.
The Governor of Texas is for a fact the most successful political figure running in this year’s election. He has never lost an election, he has championed all of the conservative causes that the base holds dear and his personal story is compelling. This is a man who never sought national office, never looked to the next big step. His greatest dream was to be Governor of Texas and he has become the longest serving Governor in Texas history. What he brings to the race is unique, the view of a powerful leader mixed with the heart of the common man. He is regular folk. He is like us. Yet, here we are hearing from Bill O’Reilly, Martha McCallum, and others at FOX News that he is unworthy of high office. Why? It is because he is not one of them. Let me say, that when they say that about Rick Perry, they say that about all of us.
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, a film starring Jimmy Stewart and Claude Rains comes to mind when I think of Governor Perry, about all of us. The synopsis from IMDb tells much.
Naive and idealistic Jefferson Smith, leader of the Boy Rangers, is appointed on a lark by the spineless governor of his state. He is reunited with the state’s senior senator–presidential hopeful and childhood hero, Senator Joseph Paine. In Washington, however, Smith discovers many of the shortcomings of the political process as his earnest goal of a national boys’ camp leads to a conflict with the state political boss, Jim Taylor. Taylor first tries to corrupt Smith and then later attempts to destroy Smith through a scandal
Those short comings were always in Washington but even back then in the 30’s and 40’s our politicians actually were patriots. Now, politicians are not so much. patriotic as they party hacks George Washington cautioned us about the rule of political parties and the attacks on Governor Perry, by his own party prove that political parties are corrupting forces. There is a seedy side to the process brought on by people who insidiously gather their power within a party apparatus in order to steer it towards a certain man or woman who will do their bidding. We voters are only there as useful sheep. If the power elites in DC, if Sean Hannity and his elf like little dwarf Frank Luntz say so n so is smart and we should follow him, compromise what we want and believe in to elevate the party, then many of us do so. We have been co-opted by a herd of cynical, unethical, amoral bottom feeders that put their party allegiances ahead of the nation. They’d never allow Mr. Smith to their party and certainly would never allow Mr. Smith lead their band. Just who does this peon think he is after all?
Mr. Smith this year is Rick Perry. He embodies every decent honorable ideal that Americans have been taught were the hallmarks of a great statesman. He talks plainly, does not make long winded rhetorical speeches, nor is he a painfully boring policy wonk. You can see he is a man who does not have time to get himself mired down in the minutia. His governance of Texas has been the lightest of footprints. His integrity is apparent in his actions. Yes, his words are few, his actions are great. From assisting Louisiana in many of the disasters of recent date, before the Federal Government ever lifted a finger, to making sure at least 400 million dollars of Texas tax payer money went to border security while the federal government under George W. Bush and Barack Obama did absolutely nothing for border security. These two presidents sat on their hands over the border with Mexico while we are still fighting Islamic fundamentalists around the world.
So voters, what are we to do? Are we to slavishly and dimly like brainwashed characters in the movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom chanting Kali Mal follow whatever whims the denizens of the FOX news make up chair, and Georgette Mosbacher’s salon have? Or do we stand back, throw off the chains of party loyalty and MSM anti regularfolk propaganda and tell them to go to Hades. We are bringing Texas to the White House, and not Bushes Texas, but real Texas. We are going to see our country fixed. Washington DC and every job there, every federal office, every appointment, ever y elected official belongs to us. Therefore we will decide. Mr. Smith aka Rick Perry must be President, he must go to Washington or very soon because of the graft and corruption of the party’s and the MSM and political establishment there may not be a Washington to go to.

Why I Support Rick Perry by Skadi

patriot1949 — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 01:06:32 +0000

I am a military wife. In particular I am a USMC wife. This is not merely a statement of what my husband does. When a woman decides to marry an active duty military officer, she is not just marrying the man; she is marrying into the military. I married into the Corps. Happily I might add.
But as to why I support Rick Perry. The reasons are many. His record as Governor of Texas has few if any blemishes. None that is meaningful in a general election. Of course there are bloggers out there who took the Gardasil issues and ran with it, making a mountain out of a mole hill. However the Governor realized that the law he wanted passed was unpopular and it never took effect. Still Michelle Malkin, RS McCain and others decided they had to attack him for it. All for the sake of what they said was “vetting”. When the dust settled these bloggers who threw such fits over the Gardasil issue seemed to have been self-serving. Finding the right conservative is the last thing many self-important yappers are concerned with. I might add a lot of conservative writers, talkers and bloggers I had once respected have sold out but that is another story entirely.
Then there was the Texas in state tuition for children of illegal immigrants. A little factoid: These kids have to pay that tuition. They are not given anything. They have to have gone to high school in Texas for three years. This law that was passed in Texas does not even really concern these children in particular, rather than out of state residents in general. For example: if a family from Red Wing Minnesota moves to Dallas for work for a few years and have kids in high school their children would be able to get in state tuition if they had gone to Texas High Schools for three years and got a certain high GPA. The children of illegals were allowed to have the same chances. Considering that the bill was overwhelmingly supported by the Texas state legislature, and that only four legislators voted nay, Perry did not have a choice but to sign the bill. Sure on the surface it looks bad. But if one actually thinks about it, the mess Texas has been left with is a mess of the Federal Governments making. In no way could Governor Perry deport illegals, which some so called constitutional genius’ think he has the power to do. Texas made do with what they had. If anything it is a good reflection on Perry that he understands the predicament states have in dealing with a shiftless, uninterested and obese federal government.
The Texas economy is booming. Well over half the jobs that have been “created” in the United States have been in Texas. Under Perry, Texas has a predicable regulatory climate, and tax policy. Business leaders know what they can expect from quarter to quarter and year to year. This is how an economy is run. It is run in Texas with a very light, unnoticeable footprint by the state government.
Perry’s record on abortion issues is outstanding. Under his governorship, Planned Parenthood abortion clinics have been closing all over the state. Considering that this is a near and dear issue to the base of the Republican Party, Perry should get huge kudos. Unlike Santorum who is pro-life but has never really done anything about this problem besides talk about it, Perry has actually done something about the issue of out of control abortions by pushing for defunding of these heinous clinics.
On Gun Control, Perry has been an outstanding defender of the Second Amendment. He is a hunter, and has a passion for shooting sports that is refreshing in a presidential candidate. Unlike John McCain 2008, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, Perry does not merely pay lip service concerning the rights of gun owners, he is a gun owner, and he is not unfamiliar with fire arms and knows the fears of those of us who do own personal firearms. The NRA endorsed him for a good reason.
Concerning Foreign Policy, which is a shambles of promises not kept, allies disrespected and dishonored, and national security left in tatters. We have been led down a path for years by the democrat president whom I personally believe dislikes our country. We are about in the same position we were in 1980 when Carter was president. The other candidates all talk a good game but are they trust worthy? Would they saddle us with a halfhearted political mealy mouth in a Secretary of State like a Colin Powell or a devotee of Real Politick? A Bismarkian wanna be Henry Kissinger type? Or would they bring in a John Bolton, who has always stood for what is best for our country and our near and dear friends around the world? Would they actually ignore the UN when the UN’S leanings go against what is best for the nation? Rick Perry is a man of his word. His record speaks for itself. If he says he believes so, and will do everything he can to do so, then you can count bank on that.
On the military, a subject that is near and dear to my heart. Perry is a veteran. Unlike Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, the governor actually served our country as an Air Force pilot. He understands the sacrifices made, the long deployments, the separations and the discipline. He can count among his endorsers MOH recipients, well known retired members of the military. Men who have seen the horrors of combat and whom have paid the price for serving the nation in wounds and scars, seeing friends killed. These are men of honor, men whose words are their bond and they have faith that the military under the command of President James Richard Perry would be better off than under anyone else. Perry would never forsake our heroes, our defense. He would be a prudent and wise commander in chief, guided by his love of our country, and regard for our men and women in uniform. We know we can trust him. I would not support the Governor if I did not know in my heart he would never take our military for granted. He is after all one of us.
In regards to our budget crisis. Perry was one of the first to say the super committee was a bad idea. He is championing a balanced budget amendment; he also has a flat tax plan that echoes the ideas of retired House Majority Leader, the sage of Flower Mound Texas, Dick Armey. Rick Perry has a vision for America that is huge, but to paraphrase Reagan, Americans should never dream small dreams. The economic plan Perry has put together is not merely a plan, it is a recommitment to ensuring our greatness as a country and a commitment to our posterity.
Rick Perry is one of those self-made men that the United States is famous for. Reagan was self-made; many of our founders were self-made. These men are the brick and mortar of our nation’s history. The road is never easy for a self-made man because the powers that be understand that self-made men are never one of them. There is a disconnect between the GOP establishment and regular voters that is wide and deep. The disconnect is a chasm. The establishment is championing Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and even Newt Gingrich because these three candidates will play the DC beltway game. Rick Perry, self-made man, who came from the dusty dry cotton fields around Paint Creek Texas will never toe the line. He will always put our country ahead of the party, ahead of politics as usual and that is reason enough for rank and file Republicans to vote for Perry.
Unlike Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich, Perry is running for President because the nation needs someone to fix the problems. Unlike Romney in particular, Perry never wanted to be President. He never looked at national office as something he desired but he was coaxed by his wife and others to run because the country needed a leader and if anything else, Rick Perry has always been a leader.
These are many of the reasons why I support James Richard Perry, Governor of Texas for President of the United States. I cannot imagine supporting any other candidate. It is my great honor to do whatever I can to help him get the nomination and then the White House. Our problems are great, and require a real man to fix them. Rick Perry is that man.

Where Loyalties Lie by Victoria_29

patriot1949 — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:07:19 +0000

It has been a bit since I have written a blog, mainly because I only write them when I moved by the heart to do so. I have also been staying off twitter out of disgust for watching so called conservatives judge not by past deeds but only by words that a candidate is spinning today-sorry I don’t tolerate fools easily. Sorry, I am more into judging by actions, the character of a man does not change they just learn to hide it better (& no that was not a veiled swipe at Newtie & Mittens it was a direct hit).

I would imagine by now anyone that has known me over 10 minutes knows that I am a Rick Perry supporter, but let’s talk about why. I bet you can’t find many people that have supported Romney, Newt or even Paul (even Paul bots sometimes grow up) for 20+ years. Yet, in the next 2 weeks not just a handful but close to 2000 TEXANS plan to descend on Iowa. We are talking about a very long drive in dead of winter-many of us abandoning our own families shortly after Christmas, spending New Year in lonely hotel rooms. Have you heard of 1000s or even 100s of Georgians braving the Iowa winter to support Gingrich? How about 100s of MA rushing to Iowa for Romney? And they are used to frigid weather. So what is it about Rick Perry that brings that undying loyalty? No, it is not because I have always agreed with him-been times over 20 years that I would like to have choked him. His answer on in-state tuition sucked he should have just told the truth & blamed us Texans & not tried to explain our in-state tuition to a bunch of anti-10^th Amendment RINOS. First off-what Gov. Perry should have said is, “I was governor a few months when that was enacted, it was passed by 99.6% of the legislature & was veto-proof, so there was nothing I could do, veto would have been over-rode.” That is the FACTS but unlike other candidates that would have been quick to pass the blame Rick Perry is a Man & a Texan-this law was supported in 2001 by 80% of Texans so he took his stand with us & said hey Texas made a decision & I stand with her. REASON #1 In 20+ year I have never heard Rick Perry play the blame game. Right or wrong he accepts responsibility period, the buck stops with him. REASON #2 Rick Perry has always listened to the people of the state of Texas, even his enemies admit this. REASON #3- When Rick Perry is wrong he is enough of a man to say I was wrong, I made a mistake. (& yes direct attack here to be clear-not like Newtie & Cain who constantly claim they are misunderstood or we are too stupid to understand what they really meant, or they play semantics which Newtie is excellent at & suckers buy).

I first met Rick Perry when he was running for Agriculture Commissioner; he came to Crockett, Texas. For those of you that do not know Houston County where Crockett is located is farming, ranching & timber land-it is the heart of the area known as the Piney Woods. Now, 90% of us were registered Dems-we never even considered voting for a Republican (not local or state)-this still had a bad stigma in Texas. In fact, I don’t think face to face I had ever met anyone that admitted to being one. But Perry won us over-he was a cotton farmer, he actually “got it”, he told us what he would do, how he would do, his values of work, God & country matched ours-he was a Vet-he was a Christian, he was just like us & most important of all he was an Aggie. (Where I am from you go to A & M or Sam). I would be less than honest if I didn’t say that campaigning for a Republican in conservative but blue Houston County was sort of an embarrassment (but that is personal issue). However, as is history now Rick Perry prevailed – & trust me this was my 1^st experience with nasty campaigns & as his opponent will assure you Rick Perry can play hardball with the best of them. REASON #4 Rick kept his word on everything (under a Dem Governor btw) that he campaigned on & easily re-elected by 67% of the vote (& remember Texas was STILL primarily conservative Democrats at this time). Quick education here-do not confuse how southerners vote nationally with how they vote local/state-2 very different things. Rick Perry helped open up Texas products to other markets outside our state & as the daughter of a rancher-with farmers & ranchers in family-he made a difference. Iowa as a farm state should not even be considering another candidate if you care about family farms surviving-Rick Perry believes in land & family farms-they are as much a part of him as breathing. A family farm is what made him who he is. Somehow I can’t picture Romney or Gingrich even knowing how to start a tractor much less plowing, but Rick Perry can.

Slam, Rick Perry all you want for being a Democrat at 1 time but understand this his votes as a Democrat in Texas were more conservative than the votes Newtie cast in DC (i.e. Newt voted to create Dept. of Ed, he voted to nationalize land in multiple states, he voted for every increase in foreign aid, he voted against every decrease in foreign aid & I could go on & on). Unlike others Rick Perry says what he means & lives his beliefs. Reason #5 Rick Perry has never quibbled about being a Conservative-he was a pit bull in Texas legislature, he has always been very pro-life-REASON #6, he has always been pro-defense-REASON #7, pro-2^nd amendment, pro-Israel-which brings us to Reason #8 as a Christian Israel is extremely important to me. Rick Perry has been & is the ONLY candidate that has in reality stood with Israel consistently & openly-that is why the Nation of Israel has bestowed on him the highest Honor of Israel. The others talk about it but obviously Perry made a difference. http://www.thepoliticalguide.com/Profiles/Governor/Texas/Rick_Perry/views/Israel/

This is a history of Perry’s stand on Israel-NOT just what he is saying in an election year.

REASON #9- Rick Perry got the Castle Law passed in Texas & is a very big supporter of the 2^nd Amendment to the point he personally carries. Both Newt & Romney are anti-2^nd Amendment-very weak in this area. Sorry, y’all call me a hick but I like the idea that my POTUS is not a wimp that I could beat up & that knows how to lock & load.

REASON #10- Rick Perry is a Veteran-he had the guts to put his life where his mouth is. While he did not have to Rick Perry stood ready to defend this piece of ground we call America with his life…..Newt & Romney BOTH took deferments-that to me sums up their whole lives. As the mother of a son that has served in the US Army during a war-while I don’t want my son in a combat zone I damn sure what his commander in Chief to have been in his shoes, not a coward that avoided serving his country (& yes deferments are exactly that).

For those of you that still don’t get it, then I am sorry but please keep one thing in mind as you elect either Obama or Obama-lite. When things keep on keeping on-please don’t come to Texas. Nothing personal but you have a choice to make & if you choose to stand with conservative hating Newt or RINO Romney then please don’t expect my Governor & my state to bail you out when it all goes south for you. We have the best economy, best cost of living, best healthcare, best overall life for a reason & Rick Perry has played a large role in that as often by what he hasn’t done as what he has done. This brings up #REASON 11-Rick Perry knows when to butt the hell out. I know this is way too long & the sad part is that I could list another 20 reasons just off the top of my head. But what you really should think about is why 2000 Texans are willing at their own expense (NOT 1 of us are being paid a dime or any expenses this is ALL on us) would make this trek to Iowa (we are not exactly snowbirds you know).

Finally – The White Side

patriot1949 — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 00:14:59 +0000

BUCHANAN TO OBAMAFinally…………It is said publicly. I have never seen the white side explained better! Pat Buchanan had the guts to say it. It is about time.

BUCHANAN TO OBAMA

By Patrick J. Buchanan

Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America . Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation.. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to…. This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:

First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.. Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ‘ 60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream. Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks — with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas — to advance black applicants over white applicants. Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.

We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude??

Barack talks about new ‘ladders of opportunity’ for blacks. Let him go to Altoona ? And Johnstown , and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for ‘deserving’ white kids…? Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America ? Is it really white America ‘s fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke Rape case and Jena . And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.

I am
Not racist,
Not violent,
Just not silent anymore.

Social Justice And Marxism

patriot1949 — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 19:11:29 +0000

Trying to achieve Social Justice is perhaps the most dangerous endeavor that has ever been tried. Social justice does not exist in this world and it never will.

Social Justice is nothing more than a Godless effort to make things equal for all people, and create a utopia on earth. While it may sound good, it has had as crippling effect on every society where it has been attempted. It has been attempted by people like Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Castro, and the beat goes on.

People who typically want Social Justice fall into two economic groups. Poor people, many of whom have made bad decisions and have no marketable skills, have addictions, or are just plain lazy. They live only for the day knowing that the government or someone will meet their daily needs. The other group is even more pathetic. They are wealthy people who want to provide Social Justice for the poor group with other people’s money. This second group are wealthy enough that they are above the fray. Perhaps they would like us to think they feel sorry for the poor, or maybe that they feel some guilt for being wealthy far beyond their needs or wants. While those things may contributing factors I believe the real reason is their ego.

For many people it doesn’t seem to matter how they acquired their wealth. The only thing that matters is they have it, so they must be more intelligent than those who are not wealthy. They feel this gives them the right to micro manage the lives of the poor. The problem they face is that they are not willing to use their own money, and the poor have no money, so that leaves the middle class. They reason that it’s only just to take from the middle class and give it to the poor. It doesn’t matter to them that there will no longer be a middle class, and that the people who work hard everyday will be the ones who are hurt the most. They just know it will work if the right people are in charge, and of course they are the right people.

As I hope you know this is Marxism, or whatever ism you would like to use. The bottom line is, it is a Godless society that is trying to create a heaven on earth. They don’t believe in God. The only hope they have is some type of “justice” here during this lifetime.

I feel sorry for both groups. If this life is all they have to live for it’s understandable why they are angry at everything and everyone. People who live to please God, which is far different than people who believe in God (even Satan believes in God), have a wonderful peace knowing that God is in control and a better place awaits them regardless of what happens. It’s all part of God’s plan. The peace that Christ offers, and paid for sustains people throughout this life and into eternal life. Money can’t buy that.

If you read this and want to leave a comment feel welcome to do so. However if you believe in evolution, the big bang, or are an atheist be advised I will take your criticism only if you can answer the following questions:

Where did matter come from?

Why can’t Steven Hawking find a cure for his illness?

What has mankind created from nothing?

I will still consider posting your comments even if you choose to not answer these questions, but I will not argue with you.

Failin Palin

patriot1949 — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 17:23:24 +0000

This was written by a friend of mine on Twitter in response to many people who have tweeted her RE:governors Palin & Perry.

Gee, I hate it that you have so many so-called “problems” with my Governor, Rick Perry. I have found that most of the vile comments seem to be coming from either the Ron Paul supporters or the Palin cultists, so in Texas terms “bring it on”. Speaking of problems I have a few with Sarah Palin (sorry I tend to believe that when you quit half way through a job you shouldn’t be entitled to the honor of being addressed as former anything-but then “Political Correctness” has never been my strong suit).

Let’s start early-Gov Perry went to Texas A & M-which by the way is not only an excellent school but a much respected one. Palin, gee went to 6 colleges including the little community college that she went to trying to get a Bachelors degree. Do you want to talk about that? I mean heck it only took her five years to get a four year degree, and no she had no responsibilities-she did not work, was not married, didn’t have kids-she just seems to have lacked the stick to it needed to finish a college degree.

Hmm, let’s see you say (words of one palin blogger) Gov Perry graduated and served in the Air Force and then gasp was a cotton farmer…until he got tired of it -okay let’s compare. Six years in AF where he flew big complicated planes worth millions of dollars, traveled all over Europe, and the Middle East, then when discharged he went home and joined his father in the family tradition of dry land cotton farming. Which he did for years. Yes at some point he ran for State legislature, but I guess you Palin cultists forgot to research Texas. He did NOT stop farming when he ran for the legislature in Texas. They meet every 2 years, make a pittance (it was even worse then), and guess what, they kept their day jobs-all of them. Sorry to disappoint-oh that Democrat thing-once again you should have researched, 80% of Texas was Democrats-on a local/state level was Democrat controlled and another FYI in many Texas counties you couldn’t even vote Republican because there were none on the ballot. Sigh, just a fact of life in the south, during the 2 yrs around the time that Rick Perry left the Democrat party-so did probably 100 well known Dems including Judge Roy Moore, Gov Bob Riley, Senator Richard Shelby (and none of them quit either as Falin did-that is a southern thing I guess). What did Sarah Failin do when she left college-wow she held a job all of a few months (Aug 28, 1988) before she “eloped” and began having kids- April 20,1989-interesting dates there seems there could be a family tradition working.

Sarah obviously got tired after a few years of playing housewife and mommy. She ran for city council, where she sat for four years-basically doing nothing. After this unremarkable career in 1996 she ran for Mayor. We won’t even go into the conflicts about how she ran that this race brought up. But suffice it to say yes she won, but during the 1st year she was nearly recalled (another way that she was different that Rick Perry), she also tried to pack the city council (the problem Palin supporters have is that Wasilla has the records-recall was stopped by the City Attorney), while the city at the time she took over had a positive financial balance, it certainly didn’t when she left, she increased sales tax .5%, created a new job immediately on taking office-City Administrator (gee really needed in town of 5000), summary is that she created massive debt, involved the city in multiple lawsuits, made poor decisions-for some reason she seemed to NOT know that you have to own land before you build on it. WSJ called Wasilla on Palin’s departure a financial mess. But, let us move on her Lt Gov race and her LOSS (also not like Rick Perry). Once she lost Governor Murkowski bribed her (the Republican party was trying to get women involved & since he appointed his daughter to senate) by appointing her to the Oil & Gas Conservation Board even though she had NO experience-wow this job lasted all of 10 months (real staying power Failin has, I am sure this will be attempted to be explained away by cultists.) Oh in 2006 she finally got a passport, and wow in 07 she made a trip to Kuwait. Her short little term as Gov is so riddled with conflict of interest and turmoil (also unlike Gov Perry) I’ll leave it for the Democrats to shine the light on. You know another great comparison is spouse’s. Anita Perry has never crossed the line and there has never been a word said in Texas about her “abuse” of the Governor office. Todd not so, there are multiple documented incidents where he not only misused the Gov office but in fact butted in. Then we have the BP conflict of interest-funny how Todd just happened to be working for them on North Slope & Failin made a deal with BP-gee, one of the many complaints filed, still pending and that was filed way before anyone ever heard of Palin-so I can’t wait to see cultist blame this one on media. Guess that is another BIG difference Palin is thin-skinned, and blames others for all her problems, and gee media makes her do all those gaffes like not knowing what she has read.

There are so many negatives against Palin. And while her cultists deny it, she has no legislative accomplishment. Alaska’s economy (much like Mitt’s economy) was basically flat during her term, she has no job creation expertise, she did not bring one company to Alaska in her short tenure, she has no immigration experience, no border experience. Please show me all the bills that she got passed, that she personally worked for and lobbied for. She hired consulting firms in Wasilla and as Governor to bring home the pork, and sorry Y’all that is also documented in both city and state budgets. Palin did sign a bill to build a pipeline-her one accomplishment-however, it is also important to NOTE it was NOT with an American company. She wasn’t satisfied with just causing Wasilla to be sued; her great Alaska pipeline has created a legal mess for the state and is still in court under legal challenges from Canada. I could go on and on, but this whole comparison is absurd. But, let’s see, a couple things stand out, Failin has NEVER held a private sector job (6 mo hardly counts), the only job that she has been able to maintain for even a while before quitting was sucking off the Government dole-so do you really want to make that comparison? LOL I only wrote about surface things. I didn’t even get personal or point out facts that others will point out. Can’t wait for the attacks, but to compare a Governor that has been elected three times to a half term quitter is laughable. And hon, yes as a Perry supporter I am hoping Palin jumps in race. This will be her 3rd election loss (and yes primary will count as #3) (unlike Gov Perry who is 9/0). Fact is once she losses in the primary she has shot her wad and will be another Geraldine and be out of site most of time (sort of like crazy aunt in closet).

What if he is Right?

patriot1949 — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 01:20:27 +0000

What If He’s RIGHT?

Take the three minutes to read this. Maybe it’s is wrong, but what if it’s RIGHT?
Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?

We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has “loaned” two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of “we the people,” who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.

We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy… Why?

We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) – the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten. We are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla, Alaska. All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary {Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borers? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you and over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe are more important.}

Mr. Obama’s winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why?
I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.

This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. When it comes, you will never see the same nation again.

And that is only the beginning…
As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s In those times, the “savior” was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory. Conservative “losers” read it right now.

And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his “brown shirts” would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did – regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand – the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course.

How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media – did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and …………… CHANGE. And the people surely got what they voted for.
If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It’s all there in the history books.

So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. {He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to.}

Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.. All with the best of intentions, of course.. The road to Hell is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me…

I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe and why I believe it.

I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections.
