Lindsey Graham, Neocon Knucklehead: Part Whatever


Does Lindsey Graham think you are so stupid you don't know about these laws? Yes, he thinks you are that stupid. I suspect you do not agree.

From The Star Ledger

By Paul Mulshine

As you might have deduced from my prior post, I believe South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham is as complete a fraud as anyone who serves in the Senate. On the one hand, he endorses the neoconservative view that says the U.S. should get bogged down in endless wars overseas against potential terrorists. On the other hand, he is part of that contingent of liberal Republicans who have stymied immigration enforcement while insisting on an amnesty for illegal aliens.

To that end, check this screed he co-wrote for the Washington Post with Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, a Democrat. He and Schumer won't use the A-word, instead endorsing "a tough but fair path to legalization for those already here."

They then go on to offset that call for amnesty by pretending to seek tough enforcement. Note this howlingly funny line:

"We propose a zero-tolerance policy for gang members, smugglers, terrorists and those who commit other felonies after coming here illegally."

Zero tolerance for terrorists who enter the country illegally? Are you sure you want to go out on a limb like that, Lindsey? Heck, maybe we can give them amnesty after all. Sorry, I meant "a path to legalization." Actually this sort of thing isn't funny. Neocons like Graham and the dreadful George W. Bush seem to honestly believe it's impossible to keep foreigners, including terrorists, on the other side of the border. Therefore we need to engage in endless wars to straighten out every country on Earth.If we invested just a tiny fraction of that military spending on making sure dubious characters don't sneak into our country, we could be infinitely more secure. But this is how the neocon mind works. And it does not work well. AND NOW THAT I THINK OF IT: Don't we already have on the books laws against the illegal entry into the United States by gang members, smugglers, terrorists, and felons? For that matter, do we not have laws on the books against illegal entry by any person whatsoever? Does Lindsey Graham think you are so stupid you don't know about these laws? Yes, he thinks you are that stupid. I suspect you do not agree.

Santorum Announces Formation of Iowa PAC

From The Hill
By Elise Viebeck


Former Pa. Senator Rick Santorum (R) announced Thursday he has formed a political action committee in Iowa to donate "at least $25,000 to candidates before November."


The organization, to be known as the Iowa Keystone Political Action Committee, comes in addition to his federal PAC, "America's Foundation."

"I am eager to do more and the Iowa Keystone PAC will help us do that," Santorum said in a statement. "There are many strong conservatives running in Iowa and assisting them with financial support may help put them in the victory column come Election Day."

The announcement also noted he will appear in Iowa on Oct. 13 and 14 — his sixth trip to the state in recent months. The former two-term senator, who subscribes to what he calls "compassionate conservatism," has said he is considering a run for president in 2012. A poll conducted in mid-September at the annual Values Voters Summit ranked him sixth behind Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), former Govs. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark.), Mitt Romney (R-Mass.), Sarah Palin (R-Ala.) and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Claire Berlinski on 'Why Margaret Thatcher Matters'






As conservatives begin to take America back from the Marxists who are deliberately destroying her, Claire Berlinski has written an important book about Margaret Thatcher: There Is No Alternative: Why Margaret Thatcher Matters.

Margaret Thatcher achieved for Great Britain what must be achieved in the United States. The "iron lady's" belief in the redeeming moral value of freedom, which she believed should apply to economic life, as it should to every other aspect of human life," the power of her principled conviction, the boldness of her agenda, and her fierce defiance in the face of opposition, are qualities that America needs in its Congressional leadership and in the next President. In the words of Margaret Thatcher, "failure is not an alternative."


Berlinski earned a doctorate in international relations from Oxford and has lived and worked in Britain, Thailand, Laos, and France; she now lives in Istanbul.

Obama & Co Election Fraud may be Worst in US History


From Gulag Bound
By Sher Zieve


As the lawlessness of the Obama regime becomes evident to all who can think overseas, here at home it has metastasized throughout the body of our nation. Obama and his US Marxist Party (formerly known as the US Democrat Party) are working with increased speed and vigor to destroy all that once was the United States of America; to the point of Obama’s DOJ now openly flaunting both the upholding of equal-access voting laws and engaging in blatant election fraud.

Continuing their arrogant attitude of “we have our jack boots on yours and your country’s neck and you can’t stop us!,” Obama and his minions have already bled We-the-People dry of most of our resources and are currently embroiled in their now-overt plans to negate our votes against our own enslavement to the tyrant. One of Obama’s protected emissaries Malik Shabazz–the same New Black Panther leader Malik Shabazz who said black people need to “kill white people and their babies”–has, apparently, been a regular guest at the Obama White House. Corrupt and violent minds think alike?

Further, this is the same Malik Shabazz who was convicted in one of the most blatant and egregious cases of voter intimidation in US history. This is also the same Malik Shabazz whom DOJ chief and Obama lackey Eric Holder protected by throwing out the conviction against him and officially acknowledging that if the victim is “white” no one will be prosecuted under the fraudulent Obama regime. The illegitimate Obama regime has been kicking the sands of racism into our eyes since it usurped our country in 2008 and has become the foreign occupier of our US White House.

Former DOJ employee J. Christian Adams and his, under subpoena, supervisor Christopher Coates testified before the US Commission on Civil Rights that the Obama DOJ is hostile towards enforcing crimes against whites. Coates further stated: “That anger was the result of their deep-seated opposition to the equal enforcement of the Voting Rights Act against racial minorities and for the protection of white voters who have been discriminated against.”

Even though all viable polls point to the fact that the November ousting of the US Marxist Congress will–most likely–be of epic proportions, the Dictator-in-Chief Obama’s dark and dangerous plans for the cancellation of his opposition will be fierce. Expect New Black Panthers and Union thugs intimidation at US polling places. From Obama’s DOJ policies that have now been brought into the light of day, it seems blatantly obvious that Obama will pull out all the stops in keeping “white folks” from voting. Note: This is the worst, most openly racist–not to mention most illegal–government in US history.

If the historic actions and words of this regime are to be taken into consideration, dead people, family pets, illegal aliens and all other ineligible Marxist Democrats will be allowed to vote, while legitimate and eligible US voters will be denied. Note: This is the same regime that supports known terrorists, threatens US States and continues to suppress the US military vote.

Again, folks, if We-the-People are to have any chance of taking back our country we must vote in such overwhelming numbers that we cannot and must not be denied. We must scare the current totalitarian rulers into submission to us–not the other way around. It’s time to begin cleaning out the House and Senate of all Marxists and RINOs. But, be prepared for a fight as corruption and evil never leave willingly…or quietly.

Key Russian Orthodox Prelate Sees New Springtime for Christian Unity

Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev of Vienna and Austria (1966- ),
MP representative to the European Institutions
From Catholic World News

Speaking in Spain, and echoing language used by Venerable John Paul II, the Russian Orthodox Church’s leading ecumenical officer said on October 5 that this century will see a springtime of Christianity.

“A Christian spring is just about to arrive,” said Archbishop Hilarion Alfeyev. “The 21st century will see the divisions between Christians healed and a rebirth of the faith, gift of God, just as it was preached by the apostles and preserved by the Fathers.”

Archbishop Hilarion’s remarks came less than two weeks after he downplayed the optimism prevalent at the official dialogue between Eastern Orthodox and Catholics.

In his address at the Conciliar Seminary of Barcelona, Archbishop Hilarion also called for a renewed appreciation of the Fathers of the Church.

“Contrary to the recipes of modern teachings such as psychoanalysis, the advice of the Fathers exhales a healthy spirit, founded as it is on the solid understanding of the human spirit, and the need to combat one's own sinful tendencies and put goodness into practice,” he said. “The counsels of the Fathers are much more universal than the basic postulates of Freudianism, and can be applied to people who live in the most diverse cultural and temporal contexts.”

“The works of the Fathers will never be irrelevant,” he added, “given that they treat questions, the answers to which are decisive for humanity's destiny.”
