Don’t you love those peaceful Leftists?

Che Guevara supporters with a radical pro-amnesty coalition viciously attacked and bludgeoned tea party protesters at a Florida anti-illegal-immigration rally, including a 62-year-old man who was beaten and kicked in the face.

ANSWER members carried Che Guevara signs and other black and yellow placards that stated “Full rights for all immigrants.” They shouted, “Amnesty yes, racists no!”

As the two men attempted to film the protest, an ANSWER member in a black tanktop and blue jeans lunged after one of the cameramen and beat him with a sign, pushing him into traffic. Another ANSWER member in a white T-shirt attacked the same cameraman while the victim defended himself with what appears to be a camera tripod.

A female tea party protester began screaming as Dave Caulkett of Floridians for Immigration Enforcement and the initial ANSWER attacker fought in the middle of the street.

The following is a video of the attack released by ALIPAC:

These followers of peace loving Che Guevara are demanding that if anyone gets into the U.S. illegally, otherwise called Criminals, that they should get amnesty and full rights as citizens. Pardon me, but isn’t that rewarding criminal behavior and destroying our national sovereignty?

I guess the fight is over, Lord Obama decides fighting with the #1 Cable News Network is stupid strategy.

NEW YORK – President Barack Obama will give an interview to Fox News Channel’s Major Garrett, perhaps signaling a thaw in relations between the network and administration.

The White House confirmed today that Garrett will be included among a round of network interviews that the president is giving tomorrow in Beijing. Garrett also posted news of the interview on Twitter.

Fox and the administration have been in a public fight since former White House communications director Anita Dunn said the network acted like the research or communications arm of the Republican Party. The president pointedly avoided Fox when he gave a round of interviews to Sunday shows about his health care plan.

Garrett, Fox’s senior White House correspondent and a CNN reporter before moving to Fox, will have 10 minutes with the president. Other network correspondents traveling with the president — Chip Reid of CBS, Chuck Todd of NBC and Ed Henry of CNN — will also get interviews. ABC gave up its slot when Jake Tapper spoke to Obama earlier.

It’s the first time Obama has spoken specifically to a Fox correspondent since he talked with Garrett in July. Obama gave one other interview to Fox as president, to Sunday morning host Chris Wallace in February.

The White House was annoyed by Fox’s aggressive coverage of protests against the president’s health care plan over the summer. Dunn’s comment that Fox is “more of a wing of the Republican Party” brought the administration’s displeasure into focus.

Israel triggered a fresh rift with Washington over settlement building on Tuesday by approving the building of 900 homes for Jews on West Bank land it occupied in a 1967 war and annexed to its Jerusalem municipality.

The Israeli decision drew an unusually sharply worded rebuke from the White House, which said it was “dismayed” and accused Israel of undermining Obama’s efforts to resume peace talks with Palestinians stalled since December.

“At a time when we are working to relaunch negotiations, these actions make it more difficult for our efforts to succeed,” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said.

In his statement, Gibbs also said the United States objected to continued evictions and demolitions of Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem.

Israel rejects the international description of Gilo as a settlement and says it is a neighborhood of Jerusalem, the city it claims as its capital.

Some 500,000 Jews live in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, also captured in 1967, among 2.7 million Palestinians.

Israel annexed East Jerusalem after the 1967 war, a move that was not recognized internationally. Palestinians want East Jerusalem to be the capital of a state they hope to establish in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

“Jerusalem is Israel’s capital and will remain as such,” he said, stating an Israeli position not recognized by world powers.

Obama is pressing for a resumption of peace talks and has asked Israel to show restraint on settlements while seeking to persuade Abbas to resume negotiations without a total freeze on the construction.

Netanyahu has offered a temporary restriction on building projects, but Abbas has rejected this as insufficient, both in scale and because it does not include areas Israel annexed to Jerusalem.

Palestinian officials asked the United Nations and the European Union earlier this week to consider whether they might at some point endorse the framework of a Palestinian state without a negotiated solution to the conflict with Israel.

The 70-29 vote limited debate over the qualifications of U.S. District Judge David Hamilton of Indiana, and assured his elevation to the Chicago-based appeals court. Sixty votes were needed to end the filibuster, but confirmation only requires a simple majority of the 100-member Senate.

Ten Republicans repudiated their own party leaders and voted to limit debate. The Obama administration made a crucial decision from the outset by getting the support of Hamilton’s home-state Republican senator, Richard Lugar.

Conservative Republican senators and their judicial-watching outside groups then launched a major political assault on Hamilton.

They criticized his rulings against Christian prayers in the Indiana legislature and against a menorah in the Indiana Municipal Building’s holiday display.

Conservatives were furious that Hamilton struck down part of an Indiana law requiring women to make two trips to a clinic for counseling before they could get an abortion. He said the requirement placed an undue burden on a woman’s constitutional right to choose to end a pregnancy.

This Union is dangerous in the extreme, but I never thought they would be so stupid as to act like cheap thugs to stop a Boy Scout from doing labor that only union members should be allowed to do.

The labor union backed by President Obama to the point he expressed the desire to “paint the nation purple with SEIU” is threatening action against a Pennsylvania city for allowing a Boy Scout to build a park trail for his Eagle project.

Kevin Anderson, 17, worked more than 200 hours on weekends to clear a 1,000-foot walking and biking path at Kimmets Lock Park in east Allentown, putting him in the crosshairs of the local Service Employees International Union, reported the Allentown Morning Call.

Local SEIU chief Nick Balzano told the Allentown City Council the union might file a grievance against the city for allowing Anderson to work on the project.

“We’ll be looking into the Cub Scout or Boy Scout who did the trails,” he told the council, the Morning Call reported.

Balzano later told the newspaper he isn’t targeting Boy Scouts but argued no one but a union member should be allowed to pick up
a hoe or shovel, plant a flower or clear a path for the city.

”There’s to be no volunteers,” he said, according to the Morning Call.

The SEIU seems to be backing off, but it still shows what cheap bullies they are!

U.S. police were today hunting for a missing five-year-old girl who was sold for sex by her mother.

Shaniya Davis has been missing for six days after she was last seen being carried into a hotel room by a man.



FBI agents and U.S. Marshalls have joined the nationwide search for the toddler amid fears she had been sold to a paedophile ring.

Police have charged the girl’s mother Antoinette Davis with human trafficking and prostitution offences.

An arrest warrant issued for the 25-year-old said she allowed her daughter to be taken ‘with the intent that she be held in sexual servitude.’

The man accused of taking her turned himself in on Friday. Police said he admitted to kidnapping the child and has been charged with kidnap.

According to arrest documents, Davis ‘knowingly provided Shaniya Davis with the intent that she be held in sexual servitude’ and she ‘permitted an act of prostitution [on her 5-year-old child.’

BEIJING – Liu Mingjie expected that President Barack Obama’s first visit to China would bring more business to his little boutique shop in Beijing’s popular Houhai area, a lakeside district filled with trendy restaurants and bars, souvenir shops and lots of tourists.

Until last weekend, Liu had been interviewed by both Chinese and foreign media about what he was selling: T-shirts that superimposed Obama’s face over that of China’s late Chairman Mao Zedong on the front, and the words “Oba Mao” on the back.

But Lui’s brisk business was suddenly terminated by local government officials, just days before Obama’s arrival in China, without any explanation. He says he was simply told, “No, you cannot sell Obama T-shirts anymore.”

A survey by China’s leading Web portal Sohu.com and the English newspaper China Daily asked, “What’s your viewpoint on Obama’s visit to China?” Almost 40 percent of respondents said “I don’t care” or “I have no expectations.”

When asked “On what issues do you think China and America will reach more agreements after Obama’s trip?” 56 percent answered, “I don’t think the two countries will reach any more agreements.”

And when our NBC News team went to Wangfujing, one of Beijing’s most popular shopping areas, to speak with people about Obama’s visit, more than half of the people we approached were unaware he was coming. 

Oh and Still, out of all of China’s 1.3 billion residents, there is one who may be looking forward to the big arrival most: Mark Obama Ndesandjo. He is Obama’s half-brother, a Kenyan businessman who lives in Shenzhen, in southern China, just 15 minutes from Hong Kong.

Beneath the spotlight of both Chinese and Western media, Ndesandjo published his first book in China last week, “From Nairobi to Shenzhen.” The semi-autobiographical story is about his personal journey from Kenya to China, with a lengthy account of the allegedly abusive father he shared with Obama. Ndesandjo is reportedly already on his way to Beijing to meet his half-brother.

The following is not posted just to irritate the liberals or atheists, although without intending to it surely will do that, my only goal is to say this is how I feel about America and our great legacy of faith:

More idiocy from the Hollywood crowd. Montel thinks anyone trying to link Islam to the Hasan shootings really want Muslims put in FDR style Japanese internment camps.

Television talk show host Montel Williams says he’s worried the “rhetoric” about the Islamic connections of alleged Fort Hood murderer Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan could trigger a backlash against Muslims.

”We [America] pulled something like this back in World War II when [President Roosevelt] decided to round up all Japanese Americans and put them in internment camps,” he said on his show yesterday:

In the interview about the Fort Hood shooting last week that left 14 dead, including one unborn baby whose mother was shot and killed, Williams says: “We pulled something like this back in World War II when we decided to round up all Japanese Americans and put them in internment camps. ... The [anti-Muslim] rhetoric ... could get out of hand. What do you think?”

Responding is Frank Farley of Temple University: “I agree totally. ... The possibilities of prejudice and racism and so on are incredible here. We should be treating this as a unique incident and look at the factors involved in this very unique and specific incident and not overgeneralize. Unfortunately, we tend to overgeneralize all the time. The idea that all Muslims are the same is ridiculous.”

Surveillance video of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan at a 7-Eleven the morning of the Fort Hood attack

Continued Williams: “Even if it comes out ... that his frame of reference was his religion and that was what was giving him the power within himself to make his stand, that doesn’t mean that the religion is to blame.

So, Hasan connects his Islamic faith to his murders, wears traditional Islamic garb on that day, shouts his loyalty to Allah and yet if anyone makes an Islamic religion connection to the shooting, they are not only wrong, they obviously want all Muslims in Concentration Camps.

Sounds just a tad irrational to me!

The GOP is threatening, as they should, this judge’s confirmation. It is one thing to have liberal views and for a liberal POTUS and Congress to nominate and confirm such partisan people to the bench. It is quite another thing altogether, when they nominate one that believes his role is to by small steps amend the constitution and one that has a clear (see decision below) bias against the leader of the Christian Church, while having no such views towards any other religion.

Reid speeds confirmation of anti-Jesus, pro-abortion judge. Obama nominee claimed [his] primary job [was] to ‘write footnotes in the Constitution’

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced his plans to move forward as early as Monday with a confirmation vote on the pro-abortion appeals court nominee who ruled against praying “in Jesus name” on the floor of the Indiana Legislature.

Hamilton struck down an Indiana informed consent law requiring women to receive information about risks and alternatives to abortion in the presence of a physician or nurse 18 hours before the procedure. Hamilton said the provision imposed an “undue burden” on women. His ruling was later dismissed by a panel of the 7th Circuit after appeal.

Reid said he plans to pursue a cloture process that would force a Senate vote on U.S. District Court Judge David Hamilton’s nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit if 60 senators vote for cloture.

Hamilton made yet another controversial ruling in the 2005 case Hinrichs v. Bosma. He ruled that the speaker of Indiana’s House of Representatives could not allow “sectarian” prayers as part of its official proceedings. He said prayers that use “Christ’s name or title” are sectarian, but he ruled in a post-judgment motion that it’s not sectarian for a Muslim imam to offer a prayer to “Allah.” In the post-judgment motion, he wrote: “The Arabic word ‘Allah’ is used for ‘God’ in Arabic translations of Jewish and Christian scriptures. If those offering prayers in the Indiana House of Representatives choose to use the Arabic Allah, the Spanish Dios, the German Gott, the French Dieu, the Swedish Gud, the Greek Theos, the Hebrew Elohim, the Italian Dio, or any other language’s terms in addressing the God who is focus of the non-sectarian prayers … the court sees little risk that the choice of language would advance a particular religion or disparage others. Prayers are sectarian in the Christian tradition when they proclaim or otherwise communicate the beliefs that Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God, or the Savior, or that he was resurrected or that he will return on Judgment Day or is otherwise divine.

This is by any reasonable definition a liberal extremist jurist, his decisions mentioned above were overturned by higher courts. His belief that his job is to write footnotes to the Constitution is another way of saying he can amend that precious document at will, outside the amendment process, to force it to conform to liberal orthodoxy. His religious views are wholly contrary to the First Amendment.

There can be rational debates held about whether or not churches should have a tax exempt status and as a Christian, I am not in favor of it in the best interest of the Church. But, when groups like militant gays can “use” the IRS to intimidate (terrorize) pastors to keep them from speaking out in the pulpit on political issues (unless they are black churches supporting liberals of course), then it is the First Amendment which is under attack and that should cause every American great concern.

Christian churches in Maine whose leaders encouraged support for a referendum that repealed a law allowing same-sex marriage are being targeted in an intimidation campaign urging homosexuals to file complaints against them with the Internal Revenue Service.

A “Maine Marriage Equality” website that lobbied for the same-sex marriage measure is asking its followers to file the complaints.

You are probably already aware of churches that supported and actively promoted a ‘YES’ vote on Question 1. Please take the time to file an IRS complaint against them. Examples of supporting documentation to include with your complaint are pamphlets or other material created and/or distributed by the church or religious organization, photographs that show attempts to influence legislation (see below), witness statements or recordings of individuals who were aware of the campaign activities, and any other evidence that may prove a church or religious organization attempted to influence the public to vote ‘YES’ on Question 1.

With your help, we can reaffirm our Constitutional Separation of Church and State [A most damnable lie] and ensure that in the future, nobody’s civil rights are stripped away [Another damnable lie] by religious fanatics attempting to force their religion on all of us [A third most damnable lie!].

Named in IRS complaints for opposing same-sex ‘marriage’

Either the Bill of Rights, every part thereof, are sacrosanct and should be assiduously defended by every American or they are no longer a Bill of Rights at all, but only a list of privileges that can be withdrawn at anytime by the whim of whatever party is in power. If we allow Freedom of Religion to be undermined in the smallest way, then we have no cause for complaint of any kind when our Freedom of Speech or Freedom of the Press or prohibition against unlawful searches and seizures are no longer defended by our courts.

The homosexuals have thus far been 100% unable anywhere in America to convince the voters that marriage should be made available to them, even many liberals voting against that change in marriage. So being woefully unable to win their case based on the merits of their arguments, they are using the courts, state legislatures and now even the IRS to FORCE gay marriage upon the nation. This is by any reasonable measure acts of political violence (use of fear to force unpopular views on the majority).

Once again in this case, gay activists are advancing the lie that to deny them marriage is to deny them a civil right, when marriage is clearly a privilege granted by the individual states based on the minimum requirements set forth by the voters, not unlike for drivers, fishing or hunting licenses.

John Klein, CNN president, said Thursday that veteran reporter John King will move into the 7 p.m. EST slot vacated by Lou Dobbs. King will host a show about politics beginning early next year.

That puts him in direct competition with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews and Fox News Channel’s Shepard Smith, who dominates the cable news ratings in that hour.

It sounds to me that: (1) Obama has his feelings hurt about being pressured to make a decision about Afghanistan and like a little child is going to hold his breath and turn blue rather than give in to his critics. (2) While he may send in more troops, half fighting and half in support, the sounds of this appears to me that he is looking for a quick exit strategy out. Gorbachev recommends that option.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team, pushing instead for revisions to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government, a senior administration official said Wednesday.

That stance comes in the midst of forceful reservations about a possible troop buildup from the U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, according to a second top administration official.

In strongly worded classified cables to Washington, Eikenberry said he had misgivings about sending in new troops while there are still so many questions about the leadership of Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

Obama is still close to announcing his revamped war strategy — most likely shortly after he returns from a trip to Asia that ends on Nov. 19.

http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20091109/US.US.Afghanistan/

I have recommended we get out of Afghanistan because I never thought Obama would commit the troops, weapons and change the rules of engagement to ensure victory; and his playing around would only get more NATO troops killed, without any success for the price we woulds pay in lives. So, if this is a half-hearted approach as it appears it will be, I hope he is trying to get us out this next year and I only hope it won’t be like in Vietnam and a lot of people get killed running away in the middle of the night with America’s tail between its legs.

Here is the real kicker in this story, CNN claims to be positioning their network as the moderate network between the extremes.

Lou Dobbs, the longtime CNN anchor whose anti-immigration views have made him a TV lightning rod, said Wednesday that he is leaving the cable news channel effective immediately.

“Some leaders in the media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond my role here at CNN and engage in constructive problem-solving,” Mr. Dobbs said just after 7 p.m., suggesting that he would remain involved in the civic discourse, but perhaps not on television.

“I’m considering a number of options and directions,” Mr. Dobbs added.

Wednesday’s program will be his last on CNN, one of his employees said earlier in the evening.

Mr. Dobbs’ contract was not set to expire until the end of 2011. He told viewers that CNN had agreed to release him from his contract early.

Well known for his political positions, Mr. Dobbs is an outlier at CNN, which has sought to position itself as a middle ground of sorts in the fractious cable news arena.

Obama refuses public photo ops with Netanyahu
Another sign of major rift between leaders.

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=115693

Mahdi Obama, IMO a strong anti-Semite, was also so petty as to send a plain van to drive Netanyahu to the White House instead of the usual limousine provided for such visits by heads of state.

Mahdi Obama not only refused the customary after meeting brief news conference, Mahdi Obama also asked Netanyahu not to hold any press conferences on his own about the meeting.

Mahdi Obama also refused to release any photographs of their meeting, if any were even taken at all.

It has been apparent that Mahdi Obama has been trying to force Israel to accept the Palestinian, laughable, peace proposal completely and that at the risk of Israel’s national security. But, because Netanyahu has resisted such persistent pressure and not bowed down to Lord Obama, it appear Mahdi Obama is punishing Israel’s Prime Minister by treating him as a rebellious servant in the White House kitchen, rather than as head of state of a for
