Senators Feinstein and Craig add amnesty legislation to Iraq war spending bill!

In an underhanded and deceitful move, an amnesty bill was added to the Iraq War spending bill in the Senate Appropriation Committee.  The amendment was approved by a 17-12 vote.  The Ag-Jobs amendment, was sponsored by Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Larry Craig (remember the bathroom incident?) (R-Idaho):

There is an unwritten rule in Congress that the appropriations process should not be used to pass major legislation. So when the Senate Appropriations Committee makes an exception to this rule, you can bet that they are doing so only to deal with some burning crisis.

...What were the compelling interests that led the Senate Appropriations Committee to include major legislation as part of the military spending bill on Thursday? Amnesty for illegal aliens, and lots of new foreign workers for powerful business interests.

In one afternoon, the Appropriations Committee approved amnesty for 1.35 million illegal alien agricultural workers, and made available an additional 650,000 skilled and unskilled foreign guest workers over the next three years. That’s 2 million new, or newly legalized, foreign workers entering our labor force over the next three years – even as our economy has been losing jobs.

The 2 million figure does not include the dependents of the amnesty recipients or new workers who could be admitted under existing agricultural guest worker programs. Townhall

Outraged by this tactic and abuse of the legislative process?  Let your U.S. Senators know asap.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce sues the state of Oklahoma

What can you say about a national organization like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce who sides with illegal foreign nationals against a state?  This is exactly what happened in Oklahoma Friday when a third lawsuit, in as many court jurisdictions, was filed against the state of Oklahoma and its citizen-supported anti-illegal foreign national law, HB 1804.

How dare this national organization, who clearly favors slave labor, sue Oklahoma and its citizens!

ACTION ALERT:  Every American who believes it's the right of citzens and their own state laws to determine the direction of their own state should call or write the U.S. Chamber of Commerce expressing outrage.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has joined forces with the Oklahoma City and Tulsa chambers to sue the state over its immigration reform law.

The U.S. Chamber filed for an injunction Friday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma.

The lawsuit targets specific aspects of House Bill 1804. Among other things, the new law creates state barriers to hiring illegal immigrants, requires proof of citizenship to receive certain government benefits and makes it illegal to knowingly transport illegal immigrants.

Through the injunction, the U.S. Chamber is seeking to stop the implementation of two sections of the measure.

The lawsuit challenges a requirement that employers doing business with the state use the federal government's voluntary experimental program for verifying work eligibility.

It also challenges require ments for businesses to verify the work authorization status of individual independent contractors to avoid state tax penalties.

Britain will no longer use the terms "war on terror" or "Islamic terrorist"

Government officials in Britain will no longer refer to Islamic attacks that have occurred since 9/11 as part of the "war on terror" but rather they will consider them simply aimless "death cults".  Nor will British officials use the term "Islamic terrorist".  Why?  Because Britain doesn't want to link Islamic terror to the religion of Islam. 

An Islamic terrorist is one because of Islam and its teachings, right?  And there appears to be a never-ending supply of them, which should be getting your attention.  Millions of children in a number of Islamic countries are being raised to hate the West and Israel and to believe their mission in life is to die for their religion.  This is a serious and it cannot be dismissed.

Excuse me, Britain, but isn't this "burying your head in the sand tactic" just what the enemy wants?  How can you deny, that in many of the written and spoken announcements from Islamists, they state the West is their enemy and that Islam is their guide?  Funding comes directly from Islamic governments to aid Islamists, in many instances.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said following the assassination of Bhutto. "...We must take immediate action and we will give [Pakistan] whatever help we can. This deadly attack is a potent reminder of the threat we face from terror."   

What kind of terror do we face, Mr. Brown?  What kind? 

According to your government, the threat we face are just simply members of an aimless "death cult".

Time will tell if this decision was a wise one.   

The words "war on terror" will no longer be used by the British government to describe attacks on the public, the country's chief prosecutor said Dec. 27.

Sir Ken Macdonald said terrorist fanatics were not soldiers fighting a war but simply members of an aimless "death cult."

The Director of Public Prosecutions said: 'We resist the language of warfare, and I think the government has moved on this. It no longer uses this sort of language."

London is not a battlefield, he said.

"The people who were murdered on July 7 were not the victims of war. The men who killed them were not soldiers," Macdonald said. "They were fantasists, narcissists, murderers and criminals and need to be responded to in that way."

His remarks signal a change in emphasis across Whitehall, where the "war on terror" language has officially been ditched.

Officials were concerned it could act as a recruiting tool for Al Qaeda, which is determined to manufacture a battle between Islam and the West.

The term "Islamic terrorist" will also no longer be used. Officials believe it is unhelpful because it appears to directly link the religion to terrorist atrocities."

ACTION:  If you are a British citizen, it is urgent you sign the e-petition that will go to Prime Minister Brown which states: 

"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Not be afraid to use the word Islamic when it comes to terrorism if appropriate."

Dont say "Merry Christmas" per directive from Southwestern Oklahoma State University

I read on Bateslines this evening one university in Oklahoma has asked its employees to stop saying Merry Christmas!  Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford instructed their employees to stop using the word Christmas or Christ which has, understandably, caused quite a stir.  After looking into this a little further at various Internet news sites that are reporting on this, here's the short version:

In was first reported today by the Liberty Counsel, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing religious freedom, that the university was following the advice of Oklahoma State Attorney General Drew Edmondson when they instructed their employees to refrain from the use of the word Christmas.  The University's Director of Human Resources visited various departments and said that decorations featuring the word "Christ" or Christmas" in any area of the University must be immediately removed, according to Liberty Counsel.

Liberty Counsel sent a letter demanding this action be stopped after receiving a complaint from a university affiliate.  It's against the law for the government to be hostile to any religion and Liberty believes the university violated the constitution and the Civil Rights Act with their actions.

An updated alert by Liberty stated:

..."Earlier today we informed you in a Liberty Alert about a ban on the word "Christmas" by Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford.---When public officials start to feel the heat of public scrutiny, they often try to make excuses or deny that events took place. Some staff members who are answering the phone are even telling people that the incidents we are reporting never happened!

...After Weatherford City Commissioner Warren Goldmann heard from a constituent that the word "Christmas" was banned by the university, Goldmann contacted the Provost of the university, Dr. Blake Sonove, who confirmed the "Christmas" ban policy and indicated that the university was relying on an opinion from Attorney General Drew Edmonson (who denies ever giving such an opinion). Commissioner Goldmann then reported the information to Liberty Counsel.

Connie Phillips, an Admissions Coordinator, reported that David Misak, Director of Human Resources, entered the registrar’s office with Tom Fagan, Vice President of Finance. They ordered the words "Christ" and "Christmas" covered up in decorations and instructed that there could be no use of "Merry Christmas" in emails!

A records coordinator verified that her department was told they could not use "Christmas" in email or voice mail..."

Drew Edmondson issue a press release stating it wasn't him who advised the university.  I wonder how his name got dragged into this whole thing in the first place? 

Adding a touch of humor, he wrote:

..."The attorney general also had a message for the original circulators of the grinchly tale.

“The folks at the Liberty Counsel will find lumps of coal in their stockings on Christmas morning,” Edmondson said. “That’s what Santa leaves for bad kids who tell lies.”

The university issued a statement saying they didn't ban Christmas (as if they could) but they didn't deny they instructed their employees to stop using the word Christmas: 

December 20, 2007

An attempt to be respectful of the diverse religious population at Southwestern Oklahoma State University has been misinterpreted as an attempt to ban Christmas on the Weatherford campus.

The rumor of this ban is not true.

The university attempted to prevent the appearance as a state agency of endorsing any particular religion.

John Hays
SWOSU President

It was also reported the university removed the words "Merry Christmas" from their website, which is not there now, if it ever was.

This just blows my mind.  80 to 85% of the people in this country are Christians!  Isn't America the country where religious freedom is one of our strengths? 

I wonder what triggered the university to do what they did?  Did one person's complaint cause all this to happen?

You may want to let the university know how you feel about their ban on saying or writing Christmas or Christ:

Please be polite

UPDATE 12/21/07:  In the Tulsa World damage control by the university was in full force.  The headline states the university denied they banned the use of the word Christmas, at all, and said the following.

..."Brian Adler, director of public relations at Southwestern Oklahoma State University, said Thursday that the information was false and that there is no ban on Christmas at the school.

Faculty and staff members also can decorate their offices however they want, he said, although someone did question a "Merry Christmas" sign in a public area.

The issue "has been resolved, and it's fine," Adler said. "We're going to have a merry Christmas here."

Update 12/21/07:  The President of SWOSU has issued another update:

...some supervisors or department leaders within the university who meant well may have suggested to employees that caution should be taken with respect to Christmas decorations. One thing led to another and the result was that some mistakenly assumed that Christmas decorations were being prohibited.

Update 12/21/07:  Liberty Counsel press release

Boycott advertisers who have pulled their ads from Savage Nation

Advertisers who have pulled their ads from the Michael Savage radio show, The Savage Nation, as a result of a campaign against his statements about his views on Islam, has grown to include Universal Orlando Resorts, AutoZone, Citrix, TrustedID, JCPenney, OfficeMax, Wal-Mart, and AT&T.

Savage's statements were not kind about the religion of Islam but, I believe, were heart felt as of the violence that occurs on a daily basis from followers of the religion of peace that we hear about on the news nightly.    For an Islamic organization, the Council of American Relations,  with a proven history of their alignment with HAMAS and the Muslim Brotherhood, to go after Savage in this manner should be a major wake up call for all Americans.

Here is part of a recent press release from CAIR, which used Savage's statements as a pretext to partner with other liberal minority groups primarily in California to form The Hate Hurt America Coalition, headed by CAIR-Orlando Executive Director Sabiha Khan:

The Hate Hurts America Community and Interfaith Coalition (HHA) today announced that Universal Orlando Resorts has joined a growing list of advertisers that have stopped advertising or refuse to place their ads on Michael Savage's "Savage Nation" radio program.

HHA, a group of religious and civic organizations seeking to challenge hate speech on talk radio, was formed as a result of Savage's recent rhetorical attacks on Muslims, Islam and the Quran, Islam's revealed text. Coalition members are calling on advertisers nationwide to stop airing commercials on Savage's nationally-syndicated program.

The problem is, these groups who have partnered with CAIR to destroy Savage's career, obviously have not done their homework about CAIR's past or if they have, must be fine with CAIR's partnering with the terrorist organization HAMAS, who wants to seek the destruction of Israel, and the Muslim Brotherhood, who seeks to destroy our democracy.   They have been successful in getting the above mentioned advertisers to agree with them.  Scary.

Cliff Kincaid with Accuracy in Media said it this way:

"Radio personality Michael Savage wrote a book on why liberalism is a mental disorder. That helps explain why he is under attack by radical Muslims, who are fellow travelers with the liberals in trying to dismantle American defenses against terrorists and criminals...."

I believe Americans need to know this fact, don't you?  For more background on CAIR, click on the CAIR category on this page.

I plan to e-mail each one of these advertisers and voice my complaint about their actions.  I don't not like what Savage said but I do defend to the death his right to say it.  I urge you to do the same.

Didn't a famous American once say something similar about our right to free speech?

ACTION ALERT:  Contact the advertisers who pulled their ads from Savage Nation to express you concern about their actions which fly in the face of free speech.

Politely request you support free speech on the radio and disagree with their position to remove their ads from “Savage Nation.”

Governor's Ethnic American Council: Islam is Goal

In the Tulsa World today I read about the influence of a family member of the recently controversial Governor's Ethnic American Advisory Council - to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars! 

This council brought serious attention to themselves when they offered to provide all Oklahoma Legislators with a personalized copy of the Quran to help celebrate the state's 100th birthday.  A number of legislators took offense about being offered a religious text through the auspicious of a governor's council which meets in a public building with support staff all paid for by taxpayers.  Some legislators clearly didn't like being offered a religious text that speaks so ill of Christians.  Muslims took offense.  I wrote  here when 16 legislators joined in and here when it grew to 31. I think the list is now about 35.

Aside from this problematic news, the council chairwoman seem to makes it abundantly clear, in the very last sentence of the article, the goal of the council is to advance a better understanding of Islam.  To me this is teaching or advancing the religion of Islam.

"The family of a Muslim member of the Governor's Ethnic American Advisory Council has spent nearly $100,000 to influence elections since 2002, state Rep. Mike Reynolds said Wednesday.

Reynolds, R-Oklahoma City, said the political contributions prove that the council's intentions "run far beyond education efforts" and that Gov. Brad Henry is "simply rewarding key campaign contributors."

Among members on the council is Mohammad Farzaneh, whose family made contributions to candidates in several Democratic and Republican races for both state and federal office. Paul Sund, spokesman for Gov. Brad Henry, said Wednesday: "Like all U.S. citizens, they have the right to support whatever cause or candidate they choose. They exercised that right when they contributed funds to the governor's opponent, Republican Ernest Istook, and a number of other Republican and Democratic candidates."

Records indicate that family members gave about $8,000 to Henry, and about $2,250 to Istook in the 2006 governor's race.

The council has been the subject of controversy recently with about 35 mostly Republican lawmakers declining to accept centennial editions of the Quran. Members of the Farzaneh family could not be reached for comment late Wednesday afternoon. Brothers Mohammad and Jalal Farzaneh are owners of Home Creations, a homebuilding firm based in Oklahoma City.

Reynolds recently called on Henry to disband or reform the ethnic advisory council, saying the group's members are all Muslim. Council chairwoman Marjan Seirafi-Pour said the intent of the council is to work with the government and others to build understanding of Islam."

If you find it offensive that this government council is trying to advance Islam,  please call the Governor of Oklahoma at 800 865-5853. 

Also call your two state legislators to complain - they can cut off funding if they get enough complaints.  Click on this link to find yours.

ACTION: Blogging for the Truth?

I think this story highlights how much effort it takes to uncover the truth and how people can twist it or fail to recognize it.  A blogger in Ohio, Patrick Poole, recently wrote about an upcoming Islamic forum to be held at the Ohio Statehouse sponsored in part by the Ohio Humanities Council and the Council on American Islamic Relations here, here and here.  He points out that two of the speakers, Anisa Abd El Fattah, and Robert D. Crane (and former aide to President Nixon), previously worked for the United Association for Studies and Research an organization started by the leader of HAMAS, Mousa Marzook, a person named a global terrorist after he fled the U.S.!

"Founded in Chicago in 1989 by Hamas operative Mousa Abu Marzook, the United Association for Studies and Research (UASR) is an Islamic think tank professing a commitment to “the study of ongoing issues in the Middle East, such as the Arab-Israeli conflict." It also promotes the ideology of Hamas."

UASR was named in a May 1991 Muslim Brotherhood memorandum as one of the Brotherhood’s likeminded "organizations of our friends." These "friends" -- which included also the Islamic Society of North America, the Islamic Circle of North America, the Muslim Students Association, the Muslim Arab Youth Association, the Islamic Association for Palestine, and the International Institute of Islamic Thought -- were identified by the Brotherhood as groups that could help teach Muslims "that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands ... so that ... God's religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions."

A copy of the Muslim Brotherhood's memorandum and plans to take over America is here and was used as court evidence in the Holy Land Foundation Trial (translation in English starts on page 15).

Poole further writes, "A 3rd speaker, Dr. Zilfiqar Ali Shah, worked for organizations that have been closed by the U.S. government for terrorist support activities. Shah is ...the former Southeast Asia director for KindHearts, a Toledo, Ohio-based charity closed by federal authorities in February 2006 for financing terrorist organizations. 

Shah has also has made his own questionable statements that compromise his interfaith image. As reported by IslamOnline (owned in part by Specially Designated Global Terror Yousef Al-Qaradawi), during a June 2001 meeting of Muslim leaders in Chicago, Khan said:

"If we are unable to stop the Jews now, their next stop is Yathrib (The Prophet's city of Medina), where the Jews used to live until their expulsion by Prophet Muhammad. That's the pinnacle of their motives."

Shah is listed on the flyer for the upcoming program as a executive committee member of the Figh Council of North America - recognized as the highest-Islamic authority in North America.  Oh goodie.

An open letter from Mauri’ Saalakhan, Director of Operations, The Peace And Justice Foundation was done in rebuttal of Poole's comments.  I think it does more to help give credibility to Pooles' statements rather than discredit him.  I don't believe Saalakhan disputed anything Poole said but called him a deeply disturbed bigot for saying it.

..."Mr. Poole also attacked a number of others who I’ve come to know only through careful research, in my capacity as an advocate with a Metropolitan Washington-based human rights organization - individuals and organizations such as Fawaz Damra, Sami Al-Arian, Sheikh Ahmed Yasin, Mousa abu Marzook, the World Islam and Studies Enterprise (WISE), HAMAS, the Muslim Brotherhood, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and al-Qaeda."

WHAT?  Why are these facts being ignored by the organizers of this forum.  So it makes me wonder what is going on in Ohio???

The Columbus Distpatch wrote an article called "Talk of Terrorism Ties Discounted" stating "Poole paints the (Islamic forum) it as something sinister" even though they admit one of the speakers, Anisa Abd El Fattah,  did work with a person who later became a political adviser to Ismail Hanieh, the Hamas Prime Minister.  I wrote about her here after Poole explained she applied for a school board position in Ohio using her American name - not her Islamic name.  The paper interviewed the president of the Interfaith Association who had this to say:

"There is no story, says the Rev. Les Stansbery, a retired Presbyterian minister and president of the Interfaith Association, beyond attempts by Poole and others to smear Muslims by "spreading hate."

It has taken me a while to figure out that often when a person cries foul at criticism it is because they do not want to be held accountable for the substance of the complaint. 

Heard enough?

ACTION ALERT: Charges of Ethnic Cleansing in Tulsa by Latino Leader

In an October 4th Presidential Bulletin, Rev. Miguel Rivera, President of the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and member of President Bush's White House Immigration Reform Coalition, said that within hours a lawsuit to defeat Oklahoma's anti-illegal foreign national law will be filed. He also said the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund will jointly contribute their legal support. In a translated version of the bulletin, Rivera makes the deeply disturbing claim that ethnic cleansing is taking place in Tulsa.

"CONLAMIC out in defense of the hundreds of immigrant Latino members of our member churches in Oklahoma, who are being abused by abuses of the City Police Department and the Tulsa County Sheriff Tulsa, as a result of agreements between the two police areas, attempting to clean the city of Tulsa the presence of undocumented Latinos according to statements by the leaders of that community anti-latinos.

It is surprising that most of the police actions, roadblocks on the main avenues and the arrests and prosecution of deportations is greater and meaningful, in the vicinity of Tulsa County, and these ethnic cleansing action, they happen before the elections on October 9, when residents of these communities adjacent to Rio de Tulsa, are preparing to vote in favor of a draft multimillionaire tourism development, housing and economic development... The Police and the Sheriff of Tulsa have become enemies of the Latino community in Tulsa and the only thing that can make our families to be able to report when they are victims of any crime, is calling the Federal Agents from the FBI, so that they realize and realize his superiors of the conditions so aggravating is that the Latino community in Oklahoma.  Even the School Districts of metropolitan areas or high minority residence, reported very high percentages of loss of Latino students who have not returned to class this school year; as a result of this avalanche of persecution and abuse by local police organizations under the excuse of program implementation 287-G."  The entire bulletin is attached below.

ACTION ALERT: Americans, especially Oklahomans, need to stand up to these charges and take their country back.  If you believe the Tulsa Police Department is looking out for the best interests of its citizens, I encourage you to call them and give them your support.

ACTION ALERT: Governor of Virginia Appoints Muslim Brotherhood Leader

UPDATE 4:45 PM:  Governor Timothy M. Kaine's statement:

Kaine Announces Dr. Esam Omeish's Resignation

Gov. Timonthy M. Kaine released this statement today in regards to the resignation of Dr. Esam Omeish, recent appointee to the Virginia Commission on Immigration.

I have accepted Dr. Esam Omeish's resignation as one of the 10 gubernatorial appointees to the 20-member Virginia Commission on Immigration. Dr. Omeish is a respected physician and community leader, yet I have been made aware of certain statements he has made which concern me. Dr. Omeish indicated that he did not want this controversy to distract from the important work of the Commission. I intend to name another representative of the Muslim community to the Commission in the near future.

UPDATE  2 PM CT: SUCCESS!    Dr. Esame S. Omeish, a surgeon at the INOVA Alexandria Hospital, has resigned from the Immigration Commission he was appointed to by the Governor of Virginia.  It appears the Governor did NOT do his homework on this man. 

-----

The Governor of Virginia, Gov. Timothy M. Kaine has appointed a leader of the Muslim American Society, Dr. Esam S. Omeish, a Northern Virginia physician,  to his Immigration Commission. To watch a video of this physician blast Israel see below.   

80 to 85% of Americans are Christians and believe in the Old Testatment with its roots and history firmly rooted in Israel.  People like Omeish do not recognize Israel's right to exist!!!  What will it take for Americans to WAKE UP to this assault on our Biblical history.

A delegate has asked Democratic Gov. Timothy M. Kaine to re-think his appointment of the head of the Virginia-based Muslim American Society to the Virginia Commission on Immigration.  Del. Todd Gilbert, R-Woodstock, wrote to Kaine earlier today, saying he was concerned about the appointment of Dr. Esam S. Omeish, a Northern Virginia physician and the group's president, to the panel. The commission was created earlier this year to study the impact of illegal immigration on the commonwealth. The Muslim American Society has significant ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, a group founded in Egypt, Gilbert said.

A caller to Kaine's program on WRVA radio in Richmond asked the governor Thursday morning about the Omesh appointment and the video.

That is news to me, what you say, and it's something we will check out Kaine told the caller, identified on the air only by the name Kent.

Kaine spokesman Kevin Hall said the governor had been unable to reach Omesh.

Mahdi Bray, a spokesman for the MAS, told The Associated Press that Omesh was performing surgery and not available for comment.

JIHAD IS THE WAY...  Speech on 12/22/2000

Too Many Mosques in the U.S.?

Rep. Pete King recently did an interview with Politico where he said there are too many mosques in America.  The Democrats National Committee (Islamist sympathizers?) apparently thought what King said was deplorable according to the Council of American Islamic Relations. 

Now CAIR is trying to silence him with an Action Alert.  They are requesting Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani dump King and commentator Daniel Pipes as campaign advisors because of their extremist and Islamophobic views and comments. 

"The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on Muslims and other people of conscience to ask Republican leaders to repudiate remarks by Rep. Peter King (R-NY) in which he said “we have too many mosques in this country.”

CAIR also asked that Americans of all faiths contact Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani and urge him to drop King and commentator Daniel Pipes as campaign advisors because of their extremist and Islamophobic views and comments."

Have you noticed how vocal this group is?  My God, aren't Muslims a very tiny part of our society?  Then why does it seem they complain so much of the time?  Is it just me?  What is worrisome is this just the beginning of CAIR's efforts to silence those who speak out about their concerns with Islam?

It's just like CAIR,  who has given a speech or two under the Hezbollah flag, who has stated publically that the Koran should be the highest authority in America, who planned and participate in a meeting with HAMAS, who is associated with the Muslim Brotherhood which seeks to destroy our democracy, to get offended because someone stands up bravely about what's going on in our country. 

If you believe Rep. King had a right to say what he did, please think about contacting these groups:

1. Contact Republican leaders with your support of Rep. Peter King (R-NY) in his right to free speech and the concerns raised in his interview.
