Hitler to Teach Jewish Studies

Charles Manson is doing a goodwill tour..and Bill Clinton is during a lecture circuit on marital fidelity.
Sounds ridiculous doesn't it?
But it's no more ridiculous than disbarred Lynne Stewart teaching Ethics at New York University.

From Fox News:

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — A disbarred lawyer convicted of helping her client communicate with terrorists was scheduled to teach at a Long Island, N.Y., law school ethics conference, FederalReview.com reported.

Lynne Stewart, who was convicted in 2005 of providing material support to terrorists and received a 28-month sentence, was to speak at Hofstra Law School’s legal ethics conference, set for Oct. 14 to Oct. 16.

Her former client, sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, was sentenced to life in prison for plotting to blow up five New York landmarks and assassinate Egypt's president.

According to Hofstra’s Web site, conference speakers were expected to discuss "prosecutorial abuse, the challenges of representing prisoners at Guantanamo and attacks on lawyers who represent unpopular clients and causes."

In a country that allows the leaders of hostile countries to speak openly at Ivy League Universities, I suppose I should not be surprised. A University, I might add, that doesn't allow representatives from the military on-campus and apparently condones those who attack speakers from the Right.

But, it could have been worse...
It could have been Hillary Clinton teaching ethics.

A Review: Good Muslims Kill

It's been a long summer. I've spent too much time away from the computer but I've read a few good books, spend time with my daughter and basically reinvigorated myself. With the President of Iran coming to visit and "bringing the truth" to us dumb Americans, I just thought these past posts would be appropriate.


Many Americans refuse to believe the Islamic terrorists are a threat to the free world and those who talk of the danger are thought of as war mongers. They simply refuse to take them at their word as many refused to take Hitler’s warnings in Mein Kampf seriously.

In the Times article of May 29th, written by Michael Powell, he quotes a woman in Atlanta asking candidate Giuliani, “Why does so much of the world hate us? Haven’t we failed to understand Arab grievances? We misinterpret their word ‘jihad’ which is not necessarily a hostile word.”

Truly an Alice In Wonderland view.

In a May 28th New York Times article, reporters Michael Moss and Souad Mekhennet provided a chilling report on what the future holds. The article begins, “When Muhammad al-Darsi got out of prison in Libya last year after serving time for militant activities, he had one goal: killing Americans in Iraq. A recruiter…told him he was not needed in Iraq. Instead, he was drafted into the war that is seeping out of Iraq. A team of militants from Iraq had traveled to Jordan, where they were preparing attacks on Americans and Jews…”

In other words, the terrorist jihad will continue and many of the terrorists will be those who are now fighting in Iraq. It cannot be stated often enough that the goal of the Islamic terrorists is the destruction of Western civilization and the restoration of the caliphate. The caliphate would unite all Muslims in one theocratic state, running from and including Spain to Indonesia, encompassing nearly 1.4 billion Muslims.

A terrorist recently convicted in Great Britain was deported to Jamaica after trial. The Times reports in an article of May 26th by Alan Cowell, “Mr. Faisal had been convicted in February 2003 of soliciting murder and inciting racial hatred…urging his followers to kill Hindus, Christians, Jews and American citizens…During Mr. Faisal’s trial, prosecutors played a videotape showing him telling 150 young followers after the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States that the Koran justified attacks on non-Muslims.

He was also heard to promise teenage Muslim boys that their reward in paradise would be 72 virgins if they died as religious martyrs.”

You can’t make this stuff up.

Will we and the rest of the Western world wake up in time so that we can survive the 30-year war that will take place after we leave Iraq?

They want to kill us, and apparently, many Americans don’t believe it.

Good Muslims Kill Part II

"Did you think that you would enter Paradise and receive My reward before I tested you so that I might know who is loyal?" Ishaq:394

And apparently it doesn't matter who they kill...even other Muslims.

The conflict began when early in the morning of May 22 the Lebanese Army tried to attack an apartment in Tripoli, working out a version that connects the recent robbery of a bank with a group of radical Islamists known as “Fath al-Silam”. The group responded with an attack on army positions around the refugee camp. Despite the fact that the organization has some 200 members, “Fath al-Islam” is involved at least in a series of blasts, which took place in Christian districts of Lebanon during recent years.

The leader of extremists Shaker Absi assures that he is loyal to Usama bin Laden. In other words, collisions in the north of Lebanon show that “Al-Qaida” managed to penetrate even this part of Mediterranean region, which up to this moment was known for its moderate Islam and religions tolerance.

Lebanon’s defence minister told Islamic militants holed up in a "Palestinian" refugee camp on Wednesday after three days of fierce fighting with the army that they must surrender or else.

“The army will not negotiate with Fatah al-Islam, which has two choices: either surrender or the army will take the military option,” Elias Murr said in an interview on Arabic satellite channel Al-Arabiya.

At the heart of this conflict, as in every single area of explosive friction in the Middle East, is the determination of Muslim radicals to make Islamic rule the law of the land.

The leader of Fatah al-Islam, the Palestinian Shaker al-Absi, has clearly spelled out his goals. His first order of business, he told Reuters, is instituting Islamic law among Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.

It doesn't seem to matter whether or not the refugees are alive.

QUITE AN ANALOGY

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.

But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table...everywhere.

Then some of the birds turned mean: They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud: They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be...... Quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now lets see....... Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen. Then the illegal's came by the tens of thousands.

Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families: you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor, your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English, Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box, I have to press "one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than "Old Glory" are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.

The History of Labor Day

Labor Day: How it Came About; What it Means

“Labor Day differs in every essential way from the other holidays of the year in any country,” said Samuel Gompers, founder and longtime president of the American Federation of Labor. “All other holidays are in a more or less degree connected with conflicts and battles of man’s prowess over man, of strife and discord for greed and power, of glories achieved by one nation over another. Labor Day...is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race, or nation.”

Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

Founder of Labor Day

More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers.

Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, was first in suggesting a day to honor those “who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold.”

But Peter McGuire’s place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that Matthew Maguire, a machinist, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday. Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, N.J., proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. What is clear is that the Central Labor Union adopted a Labor Day proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic.

The First Labor Day

The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883.

In 1884 the first Monday in September was selected as the holiday, as originally proposed, and the Central Labor Union urged similar organizations in other cities to follow the example of New York and celebrate a “workingmen’s holiday” on that date. The idea spread with the growth of labor organizations, and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.

Labor Day Legislation

Through the years the nation gave increasing emphasis to Labor Day. The first governmental recognition came through municipal ordinances passed during 1885 and 1886. From them developed the movement to secure state legislation. The first state bill was introduced into the New York legislature, but the first to become law was passed by Oregon on February 21, 1887. During the year four more states — Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York — created the Labor Day holiday by legislative enactment. By the end of the decade Connecticut, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania had followed suit. By 1894, 23 other states had adopted the holiday in honor of workers, and on June 28 of that year, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories.

A Nationwide Holiday

The form that the observance and celebration of Labor Day should take were outlined in the first proposal of the holiday — a street parade to exhibit to the public “the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations” of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families. This became the pattern for the celebrations of Labor Day. Speeches by prominent men and women were introduced later, as more emphasis was placed upon the economic and civic significance of the holiday. Still later, by a resolution of the American Federation of Labor convention of 1909, the Sunday preceding Labor Day was adopted as Labor Sunday and dedicated to the spiritual and educational aspects of the labor movement.

The character of the Labor Day celebration has undergone a change in recent years, especially in large industrial centers where mass displays and huge parades have proved a problem. This change, however, is more a shift in emphasis and medium of expression. Labor Day addresses by leading union officials, industrialists, educators, clerics and government officials are given wide coverage in newspapers, radio, and television.

The vital force of labor added materially to the highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known and has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pay tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation’s strength, freedom, and leadership — the American worker.
