Given that it would’ve provided both lefties and righties here a chance to legitimately criticize the Obama administration, I’m a little surprised that Richard Clarke’s media tour this past week or so in support of his new book didn’t make more of a splash among the Bookmaniacs.

I’ve heard a couple of interviews with the guy (on Fresh Air and Maddow), happened upon this newsweek piece, if anyone’s interested.

NW: Where does Obama stand on cyberstrategy?

RC: He said, in general, he believed that cybersecurity should be done without regulation. [Director of President Obama's National Economic Council] Larry Summers wrote that into the president’s statement. I don’t know that the president fully understood the meaning of that. I think it’s still an issue that could be discussed with him, if the need arose, and he could be convinced. But I think Larry Summers is the obstacle that would have to be overcome there.

The Whitehouse and GM trumpeted this like their plan had been successful and GM had “paid off” its debt. Yet they fail to mention that the “payment” came from another stash of TARP money but both they and Obama claimed victory! LOSERS! GM still owe’s us tens of billions and still have not turned a profit since the government is running them. This is one of the more sad scams I have ever seen put out there by any company and by any Whitehouse.

Deceits, Mistakes and Victims of Multiculturalism

Seyran Ates, increasingly stifled by her authoritarian home environment, decided to run away from her family when she was seventeen, and sought refuge in a women’s shelter where she lived in a community of battered Turkish and German women. An ultra-nationalist band of Turkish youths invaded the women’s center in 1984, guns blazing. Ates was shot in the throat and severely wounded; the woman next to her was killed.

Ates considers left-wing activists particularly culpable for the mistakes made in the current integration policy: for a long time they hindered any debate. Despite all that left-wing activists aspire to, she maintains that they never look closely enough at what is actually happening in the communities that have settled in Germany.

The Rev. Franklin Graham has been “uninvited” to pray at the Pentagon. It apparently counts for nothing that Graham’s charitable organization, Samaritan’s Purse, has delivered compassionate care in the name of Jesus to millions of Muslim children around the world for decades.

But ……………………………

•Devout Muslims have a sacred responsibility, according to the command of Allah through his prophet Muhammad, to “slay the idolaters wherever you find them (Sura 9:5).” Over 100 verses in the Koran call for the death of infidel Christians and Jews. We have seen the tragic fruit of this ideology both on 9/11 and at Fort Hood. Islam is not, in fact, a religion of peace but of violence, death and war.

•Islam, through the example of Muhammad, sanctions the marriage of girls who are but children. Muhammad himself began having sex with his youngest wife Aisha when she was just nine years old (Bukhari, Vol. 8). Just last week, a 12-year-old girl in Saudi Arabia went to court to divorce her 80-year-old husband. In the West, these are acts of pedophilia and utterly at odds with the Christian principle that the sexual purity of young females is to be protected until they are mature enough to voluntarily and freely enter into marriage.

•Christians are granted only second class status under Islam, and are given only three choices where Islam reigns: conversion, submission or death. Conversion from Islam to Christianity remains a capital offense in many Muslim countries. In supposedly free Egypt, Coptic Christians are even today routinely harassed, persecuted and killed by Islamic fundamentalists. Freedom of religion, a profoundly American value, is utterly absent in Islam. Further, this practice is directly at variance with the fundamental concept in American jurisprudence that we are all, everyone of us, equal under the law.

•Women under the iron fist of Islam are given “horrid” treatment. In many Islamic countries, women are not allowed to receive an education or even show their faces in public. Husbands are taught in the Koran that they may literally beat their wives into submission, completely contrary to the Christian admonition that husbands are to “love their wives as Christ loved the church.” The blatant and deadly sexism in Islam is contrary to the fundamental Christian precept that men and women are full equals before the true God in spiritual worth, value and significance.

•The practice of honor killings is widespread in the Islamic world. According to the U.N., over 5,000 women a year are brutally murdered under the flag of Islam, in many cases because they have brought “dishonor” to their families by becoming the tragic victims of rape. The “horrid” practice of honor killings sadly has come to the U.S. A Muslim husband decapitated his wife in New York, while a Muslim father in Texas shot his two teenage daughters to death in the back of a taxi cab and another Muslim father in Arizona ran his daughter down with the family SUV. The crime in the latter two cases was that their daughters had become too “Westernized.” This practice is utterly at odds with the Christian teaching that fathers are to nurture and protect their children.

“THE HYPOCRISY OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA”

I THINK IT IS REMARKABLE THAT WITHIN A WEEK OF TIGER WOODS CRASHING HIS
ESCALADE, THE PRESS FOUND EVERY WOMAN WITH WHOM TIGER HAS HAD AN AFFAIR
IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, WITH PHOTOS, TEXT MESSAGES, RECORDED PHONE CALLS, ETC.AND, THEY NOT ONLY KNOW THE CAUSE OF THE FAMILY FIGHT, BUT THEY EVEN KNOW IT WAS A WEDGE FROM HIS GOLF BAG THAT HIS WIFE USED TO BREAK OUT THE WINDOWS IN THE ESCALADE. NOT ONLY THAT, THEY KNOW WHICH WEDGE!

AND EACH AND EVER DAY, THEY GIVE AMERICA MORE UPDATES ON HIS SEX-REHAB STAY, HIS WIFE’S PLANS FOR DIVORCE, AND HIS RETURN TO THE PRO-GOLF CIRCUIT.

OBAMA HAS BEEN IN OFFICE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, AND THIS SAME PRESS STILL
CANNOT LOCATE OBAMA’S OFFICIAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE, OR ANY OF HIS PAPERS WHILE
IN COLLEGE, OR HOW HE PAID FOR A HARVARD EDUCATION, OR WHICH COUNTRY
ISSUED HIS VISA TO TRAVEL TO PAKISTAN IN THE 1980′S AS BARRY SORETORO AND
EVEN MICHELLE OBAMA’S PRINCETON THESIS ON RACISIM. IT JUST CAN’T BE FOUND?
YET THE PUBLIC STILL TRUSTS THAT SAME PRESS TO GIVE THEM
THE WHOLE TRUTH . . .

TRULY REMARKABLE!

Headline: “The aliens are out there and Earth had better watch out, at least according to scientist Stephen Hawking. He has suggested that extraterrestrials are almost certain to exist — but that instead of seeking them out, humanity should be doing all it that can to avoid any contact.”

Why don’t we have the courage to call them by their real names …… Liberals?
