So We Should Suddenly Trust Them On Iran?

As my father always taught me, if anyone lies to you ever, you can never trust anything they say in the future because you will never know when they might lie again.  After all the lies from the Obama administration, why should we trust what John Kerry says about the Iranian nuclear deal.  Answer: we shouldn't.

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran will continue its nuclear enrichment program, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said after five days of marathon talks between Iran and the six world powers led to the endorsement of a deal early on Sunday.

“The (nuclear) program has been recognized and the Iranian people’s right to use the peaceful nuclear technology based on the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) and as an inalienable right has been recognized and countries are necessitated not to create any obstacle on its way,” Zarif said in a press conference in Geneva on Sunday.

“The (nuclear) program will continue and all the sanctions and violations against the Iranian nation under the pretext of the nuclear program will be removed gradually,” he added.

He said the next six months will be a serious start towards “the full removal of all UN Security Council, unilateral and multilateral sanctions, while the country’s enrichment program will be maintained." "Production of 5-percent-enriched uranium will continue in the country similar the past,” Zarif continued.

“None of the enrichment centers will be closed and Fordo and Natanz will continue their work and the Arak heavy water program will continue in its present form and no material (enriched uranium stockpiles) will be taken out of the country and all the enriched materials will remain inside the country. The current sanctions will move towards decrease, no sanctions will be imposed and Iran’s financial resources will return,” he continued.

“I hope that we can reach the goals designed by the Supreme Leader (Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei) and constantly pursued by the Iranian nation with solidarity and sympathy and consensus," he said. [FARS]

And now it has been revealed that the USA was secretly meeting with Iran without telling our ally Israel.

So as you watch and listen to the Obama administration celebrate this "achievement" remember how many times they have lied to us in the past before you believe in the fairy tale this time.

Obama's Ex-Body Guard: "It's Worse Than You Know"

Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino – “It’s to the point where these (Obama) scandals in and of themselves would be huge, backbreaking scandals are just lost in the ‘scandal fog’ of this administration.” He added: “It’s worse than people know; I’m not trying to scare you either.” [gopthedailydose.com]

 

What Would The TEA Party Say About Women's Rights?

We are constantly being told that the GOP is struggling to win votes among American women.  This suggests that the democrats have a better reputation among women voters for women's rights.  Now we hear of a shocking answer by Secretary of State John Kerry to a female reporters question on his trip to Saudi Arabia.

Following recent news of a Kuwait woman being arrested for driving her ill father to the hospital, in violation of the law there that prohibits women from driving cars, a reporter asked Kerry where he stood on the issue of the Saudis having the same rules in the larger context of women's rights.  Here was Kerry's response:

“It’s no secret that in the United States of America we embrace equality for everybody . . . [but] it’s up to Saudi Arabia to make its own decisions about its own social structure.”

As one commentator pointed out:

[T]he response was immediately noted by civil libertarians as coming off as remarkably relativistic and restrained. Yet these responses are clearly scripted on diplomatic trips. Women’s rights is not a question of “social structure.” That is how the Saudis view it. It is their religion and social structure that is cited for the medieval treatment of women. Equality is a human right that by definition transcends “social structures” and national preferences. Otherwise, racial and religious discrimination would be simply a matter of cultural tastes. [Turley]

I want you to re-read that again.  It was "civil-libertarians" who objected.  Aren't the "civil-libertarians" a big part of the TEA party?  And isn't the Ron Paul influenced TEA party decidedly "non-interventionist" when it comes to foreign policy?

So why would civil libertarians feel entitled to even comment on how another country treats its women?  Moreover, let's not forget that this is a democrat Secretary of State presumably representing our democrat president.  So tell me now, how is it that the democrats can claim the "women's vote" and the civil libertarins can complain like toothless dogs on a short heavy chain barking with no chance of biting, but the GOP with its strong record of standing up for women's rights is the party that has problems winning the women's vote?

Oh, yeah, I forgot.  The GOP thinks the government shouldn't pay to have baby girls suctioned apart or burned alive with chemicals or pulled out of the womb and stabbed in the brain.  It's all about that abortion thing isn't it?  You know, the FIRST civil right, the "right to life".

Libertarian Muslims Infiltrating TEA Party To Help Spread Sharia Law

I've used this analogy many times before.  Do you remember the movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"?  In one scene the local sheriff has gathered a crowd of men around a platform trying to organize a posse.  After a while, a man in the crowd joins the sheriff on the platform and applauds the effort.

But then, before his very eyes, the man usurps the sheriff's effort at gathering a crowd and turns the discussion into a sales pitch for a new invention, the bicycle.  Pretty soon the entire crowd has lost interest in the sheriff's effort to get the bad guys and are enamored with the bicycle salesman.  The follow-up to that scene shows Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) riding around the house with Etta Place (Katharine Ross) on the handle bars to the sounds of B.J. Thomas singing Burt Bacharach's "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head."

I believe that the modern TEA party followed a similar incarnation.  A few good people gathered a crowd in order to go get the bad guys, the democrats who controlled Congress and gave us the Bailouts and the Stimulus Packages and who controlled both houses of Congress which was in lock step with a far left progressive President.

But soon, having gathered a crowd and gotten their attention, others jumped on the stage and usurped the momentum.  First it was Libertarians looking for a vehicle to propel Ron Paul forward.  Then it became the political parasites who needed jobs and lusted after attention who began chanting what the crowd wanted to hear.

Then the democrats and Obama saw a use for the TEA party and began to fan the flames of discontent with the help of their buddies in the media in an effort to divide the republican opposition to their plans for "transforming" America.

Now it's those who want to see Sharia law in America.

Tea Party circles in East Tennessee might seem an unlikely environment for launching a Muslim organization. Will Coley, a 31-year-old Tennessee native, Muslim convert and Tea Party activist did just that.

His one person outreach project to Tea Party conservatives and libertarians grew into the first national organization countering Islamophobia on the Right.

Their message: Islam is compatible with an anti-big government or libertarian philosophy. They do not denounce sharia, but defend it within a libertarian framework. 

"Our approach is different," says Coley. "We use principles within sharia like maqasid (primary goals) to show their connection with John Locke's principles of life, liberty and property."

After speaking with fourteen Tea Party chapters about Muslim beliefs on liberty and sharia (Islamic religious law code), twelve of them agreed to reject anti-Muslim appeals. They even publically supported a petition opposing a proposed "sharia ban" in Tennessee.

Coley's efforts drew the attention of members of the small but growing community of Muslim libertarians, especially after an initial article on the anti-Islamophobia website Loonwatch.com.[Illume Magazine]

I tried to warn you.  Be careful who is stirring your tea.

Religion Of Peace Update: Destroy All Christian Churches

Shhhh....Whatever you do don't criticize Muslims.  They are no threat to us, or the peace of the world.

I’m sure if the Vatican called for the destruction of all mosques in Europe it would go unnoticed by the media.

Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia Abdulaziz Bin Abdullah has once again called for the destruction of all Churches on the Arabian Peninsula.

Bin Abdullah, head of the Ulema Council and the Standing Committee on Fatwas, made this statement after a presentation by the Kuwaiti parliamentarian Osama Al-Munawer of the bill that bans construction of new non-Muslim religious buildings in Kuwait.

The Mufti stated that, according to Islamic law, all churches in the region must be demolished; i.e., Islam is the only legal religion here. The words of Muhammad that “there cannot be two religions on the Arabian peninsula” the head of the Sunni always interprets in favor of Islam. [Weaslezippers]

Oh, and if you would like to compare what our President has said about Islam vs. Christianity, well then, take a look:

10 Quotes By Barack Obama About Islam

#1 “Islam has always been part of America”

#2 “we will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities”

#3 “These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.”

#4 “America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.”

#5 “So I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed”

#6 “Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality”

#7 “As a young man, I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith.”

#8 ”I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month.”

#9 “That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t. And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.”

#10 “I also know that Islam has always been a part of America’s story.”

10 Quotes By Barack Obama About Christianity

#1 “Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation”

#2 “We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.”

#3 “Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy?  Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is OK and that eating shellfish is an abomination?  Or we could go with Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith?”

#4 ”Even those who claim the Bible’s inerrancy make distinctions between Scriptural edicts, sensing that some passages – the Ten Commandments, say, or a belief in Christ’s divinity – are central to Christian faith, while others are more culturally specific and may be modified to accommodate modern life.”

#5 “The American people intuitively understand this, which is why the majority of Catholics practice birth control and some of those opposed to gay marriage nevertheless are opposed to a Constitutional amendment to ban it. Religious leadership need not accept such wisdom in counseling their flocks, but they should recognize this wisdom in their politics.”

#6 From Obama’s book, The Audacity of Hope: “I am not willing to have the state deny American citizens a civil union that confers equivalent rights on such basic matters as hospital visitation or health insurance coverage simply because the people they love are of the same sex—nor am I willing to accept a reading of the Bible that considers an obscure line in Romans to be more defining of Christianity than the Sermon on the Mount.”

#7 “I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell.  I can’t imagine that my God would allow some little Hindu kid in India who never interacts with the Christian faith to somehow burn for all eternity.  That’s just not part of my religious makeup.”

#8 “Those opposed to abortion cannot simply invoke God’s will–they have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths.”

#9 On his support for civil unions for gay couples: “If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount.”

#10 “I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.”

Egypt Outlaws Muslim Brotherhood, Again

Prior to the ouster of Hosni Mubarak the Muslim Brotherhood had been outlawed in Egypt for 85 years.  After Mubarak was removed the Brotherhood re-formed as a political party and took control of the nation.  Egypt has once again outlawed it.  Why?

Here's a little three minute video of the history of the Muslim Brotherhood.  This might help explain it.

 

World War Z: Muslim Brotherhood Spawned Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Al Qaida

The Muslim Brotherhood has vowed to infiltrate the United States Government and to destroy us from within.  They are the parent organization of Hamas.  They are the primary central organization of the Islamic Jihad, the goal of which is global domination which spawned Al Qaida.

They have now infiltrated the Pentagon, the White House and according to recent reports, had very significant influence over Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.  Hillary is still being talked about as the next, likely to be coronated, president of the United States.

The goal of these radical Islamists is to convert the entire world to their version of a theocracy.  If any refuse to convert, then they must be killed.  In fact, the movement is all about killing Christians. The entire world is at risk of harm from this growing cancer.

I don't think I've ever watched an entire zombie movie in over 40 years, but the other night, at the request of a guest in our home, I watched World War Z.  I doubt that the makers of that movie had any intention of using zombies as metaphors for Radical Islam, but the imagery struck me as apt.

The world is being over run with murderous zealots who convert entire nations to their way of "life".  The imagery of the zombies over running Israel and defeating armies by infecting soldiers who then turn on their fellow countrymen was not lost on me.

We are indeed at war.  War has been declared upon us.  Watch the movie and then decide whether there is any chance that the world can survive if a single zombie is left alive outside of captivity.

Oh, no, I am not suggesting mass murder or mass imprisonment, but rather mass containment without access to the rest of the world, without access to nuclear or chemical weapons.  Containment without travel rights, without government jobs within the United States, without the same rights we give to those who are not our enemies.

There is little time to escape their murderous rampages.  These zombies move very fast.  We must move faster.

Egyptian Forces Arrest Muslim Bro/Clinton Aide

This from the Washington Free Beacon:

A senior Muslim Brotherhood official who, until recently, had been employed by the William J. Clinton Foundation was arrested in Cairo on Tuesday and charged with inciting violence.

Gehad el-Haddad served as one of the Muslim Brotherhood’s top communications officials until Egyptian security forces seized him as part of a wider crackdown on officials loyal to ousted former President Mohamed Morsi.

Before emerging as a top Brotherhood official and adviser to Morsi, el-Haddad served for five years as a top official at the Clinton Foundation, a nonprofit group founded by former President Bill Clinton.

Religion Of Peace Update: Pay Tax Or Die

From Turley:

The Muslim Brotherhood has continued its crackdown on Christians and has now implemented a tax or Jizya for Christian Copts who do not agree to convert to Islam. Based on Koran 9:29, Christians are being told in Dalga that they must pay jizya or tribute to their Muslim overlords as described in the Koran.

The same demand has been seen among Syrian rebels who reportedly have gave a shopkeeper three options: become Muslim; pay $70,000 as a tax on non-Muslims or be killed with his family. The same practice has been noted in Iraq with Islamic militants.

You see, the goal of radical Islam is not to live in harmony with the rest of the world, but to take over the world, convert everyone to Islam or kill them and their families.

We are at war with this movement.  Keep that straight.

Who Convinced Who? Obama's Speech Met By Rand Paul

EDITORIAL

President Obama gave a silly speech in which he basically called upon the United States to do nothing about the chemical weapons used upon innocent civilians by Syria's Assad.  It was a mouth full of mush after a week of watching any semblance of leadership drain from his presidency.

Then Rand Paul went on FoxNews to immediately proclaim that the president didn't convince him that America needed to use force in Syria in reaction to the chemical weapon use.  But Obama didn't call for force, in fact he asked Congress to not vote on his earlier request for the use of force so as to allow some sort of brokered deal to be worked out with the help of Moscow.

So who convinced who?  Or is this not about action, but about politics?

Bret Baier at FoxNews asked Rand what he would do, assuming he was talking to President Paul.  Rand said he liked the premise of that question.  He then went off and said what he wouldn't do, admitting that what to do was a much tougher question.

Obama said much the same thing.  He had just said that the use of chemical weapons was horrible.  Rand agreed.  Obama said that the world is less safe when dictators get by with things like this.  Rand didn't disagree.

Obama said that the interests of America and our friends in the region are threatened by instability.  Rand seemed to agree, calling for greater "sta-bility".

Obama said that when men like Assad and his allies in Iran see that they can get by with using weapons of mass destruction and that the USA does nothing, that the threat of harm to us increases.

On this point Rand said he wasn't convinced.  He drew the line at the notion that American engagement would have the desired result of trimming back the intentions and/or capabilities of nations like Syria and Iran to use WMD's against us or our allies.  Rand said that on this point he was not convinced.

So who convinced you?

There are many reasons why we should not take military action as requested by the President against Syria.  Chief among my reasons is that the commander in charge of that action doesn't have the balls to fight to win. 

Many who oppose Obama's plan are still advocates of "pre-emptive strikes" when our national interests are threatened.  History shows that allowing rogue leaders to "get by with" bad behavior emboldens them. 

Many among us still consider America to be a Christian nation, and that we must go to the aid and assistance of those suffering human rights violations, anywhere in the world. 

While Rand's form of non-interventionist foreing policy has its supporters, many Americans do not believe that we are an island unto ourselves.  They see every human being as a brother or a sister, all children of one God.  Liberty is not free just because it has come cheaply in our lifetime.  To many foreign policy is not about our riches, it's about doing what is morally right.

But every misbehavior doesn't deserve the death penalty.  And as history tells us, sure as hell we cannot merely slap the wrist of a murderous dictator and send him squealing into submission.  Opposition to Obama's plan even among the more hawkish then seems to be based upon the belief that neither the commander, nor the mission itself deserves our support.

On the other hand, it is a legitimate question to ask, how much closer to nuclear weapon delivery capabilities are we going to let Iran get?  Are we going to arm the Syrian rebels and help the Al Qaeda wing of that opposition to win battles in which they might acquire Assad's chemical weapons to unleash against us on some future date?

Many agree with Rand, we can't be sure who the good guys are.  But for a lot of Americans the problem seeems to be that we do know who the bad guys are, we know where they are and we know that they are plotting our demise and yet we don't seem to be doing anything about them.

Where a lot of Americans will depart from Rand's philosophy is over what to do about the guys we know are bad and who are in fact threatening our interests.  It seems very clear that don't need Congress to declare war in this context.  We are already at war, it is an ongoing war and the enemy is Radical Islam.

Radical Islam is a political movement determined to take over the world.  In that way it is no different than Hitler's National Socialist movement.

No, Radical Islam is not confined to one nation, or one national leader.  It goes by many names, it is a patchwork coalition of groups fighting with terrorist tactics and guerrilla movements.  And this enemy is well funded, organized, determined and undeterred by our panty waisted military efforts to date.  We know who the leaders are, we know where they are, we know where they get their funding.  If we want to fight THAT war, and win, a lot of frustrated Americans would say we need to get busy.

With regard to Obama's Syrian adventurism America seems to be saying no, and in their own way siding with Rand. 

But as it relates to the larger war on terrorism Americans may not be as "non-interventionist" at their core as Rand might interpret our current uneasiness with Obama's plan to indicate.

In fact, on this anniversary of 9-11, when it comes to taking military action to end the threat of Radical Islam once and for all, Rand and Obama both might be surprised to find that a "silent majority" of Americans is ready to say....LET'S ROLL!
