		<description>CNN -- THE BULLY CHANNEL

According to their politics -- if you don&#039;t want illegal aliens here then you are a &quot;hater.&quot;  You hate brown people.  You are a raaaacist.  According to CNN, if you don&#039;t want Obama&#039;s health care you are a hater.  You hate Obama because he&#039;s black.  You hate all black people.  You are a raaacist.  According to CNN and their talking heads, if you don&#039;t want the NY mosque you are a hater.  You hate Muslims and Islam.  You hate Arabs.  You are Islamophobic.  You are a raaacist.

CNN is the defender of the smoking police, the obesity police, the word police, the food police.  CNN tells me that certain words can be used by African-Americans only.  I reject that!  CNN wants to control what I say and what goes into my body.  CNN wants to tell me how to think because they think they know better.  CNN thinks it can force people to be politically correct and offenders like Dr. Laura and Jennifer Aniston, who never used words maliciously, can be chastised and denigrated because they dared or accidentally used words not sanctioned by CNN.

CNN has presented programming on bullying in school but oddly enough doesn&#039;t recognize itself as one of the biggest bullies on the block.  CNN uses all the tactics of 3rd graders, like name-calling and ridicule to attack -- JUST LIKE ALL BULLIES.  CNN spent over a year trying to find racists in the Tea Party while bullying the Tea Party and making fun of it all the way.  Sanchez and Cooper even giggle like 3rd graders while showing childish contempt for what they don&#039;t understand.

CNN thinks it&#039;s cool, thinks they are part of the in-crowd, thinks they should educate and harangue us with their dangerously liberal world view that is becoming so anti-American I can barely watch.  CNN makes the mosque political when it has nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans or conservatives or liberals.  Iman Rauf so far has the law on his side but this is a matter of RIGHT AND WRONG, SENSITIVE AND INSENSITIVE.  Rauf and Daisy are building no bridges of understanding but CNN will support them to the end because it is the popular liberal point of view, the Obama view.  CNN should change its name to OBAMA PRESENTS CNN.

I&#039;m not saying other channels couldn&#039;t use some criticism.  What I&#039;m saying is that CNN used to offend me part of the time but that&#039;s changed to most of the time.  If I want a jolt of childish name-calling, arrogant rants, biased opinions and unsupported by fact reporting then CNN will do it.</description>

		<description>YOUR MODERATE MUSLIM PART II

The quotes and excerpts I will be using are from the book &quot;Londonistan&quot; by Melanie Phillips.

(QUOTE)&quot;A number of public figures have posed as virtual cheerleaders for suicide bombers under the guise of &#039;compassion.&#039;&quot;

Ah, the word &quot;compassion.&quot;  Do you recognize it?  This is the same word our open borders people have been using to sway us to accept illegal aliens, open borders, anchor babies.  Are Americans that dumb?  Some are.  Their compassion and suicidal tendencies runneth over.

(QUOTE) &quot;In Britain, the notion of Jewish victimhood has now been all but expunged.  In its place has come &quot;Islamophobia.&quot;  While the Jews are defamed as Nazis, the Palestinians are considered to be the &quot;new Jews.&quot;  Thus have the Islamists captured the citadels of thought at the heart of the Western alliance.&quot;

Hey guys.  I guess this explains our President&#039;s cool reception of Netanyahu and our outreach programs to Muslims.  Some were puzzled, as was I, but Obama is just following the example set by the UK.  I think Obama is turning out to be a great follower of the &quot;European Model&quot; but no leader at all.

On page 138 of &quot;Londonistan&quot; we find a situation  oddly reminiscent of the &quot;mosque controversy&quot; we are now experiencing.  QUOTE:  &quot;After relatives of the murdered victims (London bombings)expressed their outrage at this suggestion, the government declined to accept it.  The reaction of these churchmen was typical.  The first instinct of many British clerics was to empathize and agonize not with the victims of the atrocity but with the community of the faith in whose name it had been committed -- and to deny that religion had had anything to do with it at all.&quot;

WE ARE REPEATING BRITAIN&#039;S MISTAKES.  Here is where the church is failing:  QUOTE:  &quot;Presented with a society that has lost its moral compass and descended into the nihilism of moral relativism, the Church has feebly followed suit.  The prevailing view, as one bishop observed, is that &#039;there is no one truth, and we all have to respect each other&#039;s truths.&#039;  A church that can no longer distinguish the truth from a lie no longer believes that its own message is true.&quot;

Islamophobia and hate are the two words coming at me from talking heads on TV right now.  I know neither is true but it will be what channels like CNN so often follow.  With no apology, I think Muslims like Rauf and Daisy will lie, cheat and steal to build their religion into our society, pushing all other religions aside and installing their laws wherever they can.

But -- it&#039;s all for our own good.  There is no God but God, and Allah is his name.  If your idea of heaven is virgins and rivers of honey then Islam is for you. 

QUOTE:  &quot;...When polled, most Muslims reported no incidents of prejudice against them.  Even after the July bombings, 80 percent of Muslims polled said they had experienced no hostility against them as a result.  Nevertheless, the claim of Islamophobia is deployed as a weapon to shout down legitimate and, indeed, crucial debate on the basis that to criticize a minority faith group is by definition an act of prejudice.&quot;

Don&#039;t let &quot;them&quot; (whoever they are) use ISLAMOPHOBIA as a weapon to shut down debate.  Using Islamophobia in that way is the same as calling someone a racist and we&#039;ve seen this tactic before in our Mexican problems.  I do not &quot;hate&quot; or &quot;fear&quot; and I&#039;m not &quot;Islamophobic&quot; but I do have my eyes open and I can see what&#039;s happened in the U.K.  and I can see what&#039;s happening here.

I will say it again.  Wherever Muslims go trouble soon follows.  Give Muslims and inch and they&#039;ll take a mile.  Muslims don&#039;t want to fit in; they want you to change your culture and way of life to accommodate them.</description>

		<description>YOUR &quot;MODERATE&quot; MUSLIM -- PART I

I will be using an excerpt from the book &quot;Londonistan&quot; written by Melanie Phillips.  In her book Phillips tells us what has already happened in the U.K. and I see the NY mosque controversy as a wake-up call to what is coming to the U.S.A.

In the U.S. we&#039;ve been tolerant and lucky where religion is concerned but we&#039;ve never dealt with so many Muslims before and I believe Americans are unprepared for Islam, a demanding, aggressive religion that will trample us and all other religions if given the chance.

EXCERPT FROM &quot;LONDONISTAN&quot; PAGE 95

&quot;....  At the University of Leicester, Muslim students asked for halal food and were told they could have their very own cafe.  Elsewhere in the city, municipal swimming pools provide separate women&#039;s sessions and even a separate session for women to swim fully clothed in chadors.  When sporting or music activities are planned, some Muslim groups say they don&#039;t want men and women to sit or participate in the activity together.  Meetings held in public buildings are sometimes divided by screens so that woman are separated from men.&quot;  No other minority group has asked for such privileges.  That is because they run counter to the normal relationship between British society and its minority groups.  While minorities are free to pursue their own customs, they do not expect public services available to all to be adapted to their requirements, let alone encourage a form of separate development.

NO SPECIAL MUSLIMS, NO SPECIAL RULES, NO SPECIAL CONCESSIONS

I have said before 1) Wherever Muslims go, trouble will soon follow and 2) give them an inch and they&#039;ll take a mile.  It&#039;s your country and if you want to give it to Muslims to rearrange you make problems for the rest of us.

Many, not all Muslims, do not want to fit in.  Many Muslims want you to change your rules and your culture to accommodate them and their religion. On CNN today I saw my first &quot;Poor, Poor Muslim&quot; story.  Usually CNN does &quot;Poor, Poor Illegal Alien&quot; stories but today begins a new chapter.

Today is the day you must ask yourself the question, &quot;Is Islam compatible with America&quot; and if not -- what can MUSLIMS DO TO MAKE IT RIGHT?  WHAT CAN MUSLIMS DO, OR CHANGE OR ACCEPT TO MAKE IT RIGHT?</description>

		<description>I WANT AN EXPLANATION

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton needs to explain why Iman Feisal Abdul Rauf was chosen to represent the United States and travel throughout the mid-east as part of a special State Department cultural program.

Everything I learn about Rauf tells me this man is no &quot;moderate Muslim.&quot;  Just exactly what is Clinton&#039;s definition of a &quot;moderate Muslim.&quot;?  Just the fact that Rauf wants Sharia law tells me this man is not compatible with the U.S. and its laws and should not be representing the U.S. around the world.

The U.K. has been struggling with its &quot;Muslim Problem&quot; for awhile and now our &quot;Muslim Problem&quot; has become evident with this mosque.  I&#039;ve had enough of American Government dumping on its citizens while they pretend to know what&#039;s best.  Obama, for all his book learning, has no common sense.  He is so busy being multicultural he has no idea who he is or what he represents.  I&#039;m not even sure who this man called Obama thinks he is.  

Tolerant?  What are you talking about.  Mohammed, in is time, gave every city he conquered a choice, &quot;Convert of die.&quot;  That&#039;s how tolerant Muslims were and are.  That&#039;s how tolerant goofball Rauf is.  I want Hillary Clinton&#039;s definition of a moderate Muslim and I want it now.  

So far Hillary has been able to avoid the mess that Obama rule has created but not this time.  Hillary Clinton, you are a part of this chaos full of confusing messages, economic stagnation, unwelcome strangers called illegal immigrants and now you have the nerve to gift us with this Imam who is happy to live here but represents everything Muslim this country doesn&#039;t want or need.  I haven&#039;t forgotten that health care was your cause and I blame you for ObamaCare.

True moderate Muslims live here and you don&#039;t hear about them because they do their jobs and live their lives without demanding their own laws and special treatment JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE MUSLIMS.  You couldn&#039;t have found one of them to represent us?  Get Rauf off the government payroll.</description>

		<description>COMMON SENSE LACKING

Every country builds monuments to its dead.  They don&#039;t build monuments to the religion claimed by those who murdered their people. So should it be in this instance.

If Islam wants more monuments then it should send a coherent message to those within the religion who kill and dirty the name of Islam.  Islam, a religion that seeks to control everything about its women, can&#039;t or won&#039;t control its men. Islam can&#039;t claim to be a religion of peace until it has culled out the jihadists and made jihad murder a crime.  I know Islam is still writing and changing its laws and rules.  Perhaps Islam should look to the future and not to the past when it passes down law to its people.  Or -- as I suspect -- is Islam so rooted in the dirt-floor ideas of implacable Imams that it fears change, truth and its future? 

Nancy Pelosi must be an &quot;old-timers&quot; victim.  Her statement about investigating the funding of those who oppose the mosque is insane.  Here I am Nancy, arrest me!  I OPPOSE THE DAMN MOSQUE and I haven&#039;t donated a penny to anyone.</description>

		<description>AMERICAN CULTURE UNDER ATTACK

On one front we have Mexicans bringing us everything Mexican, an effort supported by Obama.  On the other front we have Muslims bringing us everything Muslim, another effort supported by our government.  Americans are in the middle being squeezed.

There are two truths about Muslims you must understand.  1)  Wherever Muslims go trouble will soon follow and 2) If you give them an inch they&#039;ll take a mile.  I didn&#039;t just make this up.  If you study and read &quot;Londonistan&quot; you&#039;ll understand and you need to understand because this is still your country FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN KEEP IT.

I consider the NY mosque controversy a wake-up call.  Some see no harm, no foul.  Simply follow the law and allow them to build.  Others, who actually read and think, see a sinister motive in building this mosque so close to ground zero. Still others think it&#039;s about being sensitive and they address the wisdom of the building of this mosque and cultural center.

A question has been asked:  Is Islam compatible with America?  You&#039;re going to have to answer that question a hundred times over, in many little, different ways, as an aggressive ideology and religion seeks to own this country.

Here are some passages from &quot;Londonistan&quot; as they author tries to explain what happened to her country.

1)  (page xix)  &quot;More fundamentally still, many do not accept the terms on which minorities must relate to the majority culture in a liberal democracy.  Instead of acknowledging the Muslim values must give way wherever they conflict with the majority culture, they believe that the majority should instead defer to Islamic values and allow Muslims effectively autonomous development.&quot;

2)  page xix)  ... &quot;No other minority attempts to impose its values on the host society like this.  Behind it lies the premise that Islamic values trump British ones, and that Muslims in Britain are necessarily hostile to the values of the society of which they are citizens, a premise with which many British Muslims themselves would not agree.&quot;

3)  page 189)  ... Yes, a few thinkers have now questioned the wisdom of multiculturalism.  But the push for Islamization continues, British Muslims are still being recruited for the jihad, and the country&#039;s elites are still in the grip of the nation-busting, universalist mindset that has hollowed out Britain&#039;s values and paralyzed it in the face of the assault by Islamism.  A liberal society is in danger of being destroyed by its own ideals.&quot;

This is London, England today and it will be hometown, USA tomorrow -- or perhaps we&#039;re already there.  It is a mistake for anyone to give Islam even one tiny concession to its religion because they will come back and demand more tomorrow.  

The &quot;trouble&quot; that Islam brings is evident.  As I said before, Islam wants the U.S. to bend to its rules, and laws, and culture.  They do not want to bend to fit into American culture.

The line between a &quot;moderate&quot; Muslim and a &quot;terrorist&quot; is often blurred and I think they like it that way.  It gives all Muslims, through the fear of physical assault and murder, a leverage no other religion has.  All the other religions have grown up, matured, and come into the 21st century -- ALL BUT ISLAM.

The author said, &quot;A LIBERAL SOCIETY IS IN DANGER OF BEING DESTROYED BY ITS OWN IDEALS.&quot;</description>

		<description>PROVOCATIVE AND OFFENSIVE

A talking head on FOX just used those words, provocative and offensive, and those words were perfect to describe the proposed mosque and cultural center near ground zero.  They were perfect because they&#039;ve already been proven:  THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PROVOKED BECAUSE THEY WERE OFFENDED.

And what a perfect ruse:  the bad Muslims did it.  How convenient is it that you have these bad Muslims running around destroying American lives and property, and what arises from the dust and ashes of their horrible offenses:  A MUSLIM MOSQUE AND CULTURAL CENTER.  That sounds like bad acts being rewarded to me.  That sounds like an invitation to attack, attack, attack because Americans are so stupid they will allow Muslims to create Islamic shrines over the conquered land.

That&#039;s what Muslims do, isn&#039;t it Mr. Feisal Abdul Rauf, head of the Cordoba Initiative?  Mulsims conquer and convert, right?  Isn&#039;t that what Muslims have been doing from the time of your prophet, Mohammed.  Isn&#039;t that what Mohammed did?

And you, you little sweetie, just want to build bridges between cultures even though you really can&#039;t say that Hamas is a terrorist organization, even though you don&#039;t admit that Muslims were responsible for 9/11, even though you&#039;re on record blaming U.S. policies for 9/ll.  I do not understand why you are part of a special State Department cultural program explaining what it&#039;s like to be a practicing Muslim in the U.S.  Only Obama the appeaser could have picked you.  Only Obama the appeaser, a cerebrally challenged man, could think of telling NASA its new mission was to make Muslims feel good about themselves and their contributions to science.  Only Obama would be trying to attract more Muslims to this country when he knows some of them will become jihadists.

If you don&#039;t get it by now, Mr. Rauf, then something is truly wrong with your bridge-building skills.  What happened on 9/11 is still an open wound with many Americans.  I know it is with me.

When you go on your speaking tour tell Muslims they are not special.  Tell them they will get no more or less respect than any other religion operating in the U.S.  Tell them that Sharia law is out.  We have our own laws here and &quot;Muslim Law&quot; cannot replace them.  Tell them we don&#039;t tolerate &quot;Honor Killings&quot; and the subjugation of women, or stoning or mutilation.  Tell them we don&#039;t like to see women draped in robes from head to toe.  Tell them, if they don&#039;t want to be Americans, STAY OUT.

Tell them I&#039;m still tolerant of other religions but I&#039;m more careful and much more suspicious.  Tell them they can earn respect by fitting in and not sticking out.</description>

		<description>A COUNTRY GOING BROKE

Isn&#039;t it amazing what you see when a country goes broke.  As resources become more scarce you can easily identify the people vying for them.  You can see who has what and what they are willing to do to keep what they have.  Stealing and wasting resources is highlighted.  Government incompetence in delivering resources is evident.  

OBAMA&#039;S TALE OF WOE

Bush did it!  I am creating and saving jobs.  The border is more protected than every before.  I have fixed Wall Street.  Everyone has affordable health care.  I have taken care of the oil spill.  NASA, through Administrator Charles Bolden, must improve relations with the Muslim world.  We are &quot;wining hearts and minds&quot; in Afghanistan.  A NY mosque is going up against the wishes of the people of this nation.

Obama&#039;s sees all the hands out, waiting to be filled by his largesse. Obama sees all the problems of this nation coming at him like a giant snowball. The figurative wailing from all the needy groups must be almost incapacitating.  No wonder he allowed Gibbs, his press secretary, to tell some from his party to stand back.  No wonder he must play golf or shoot hoops to keep his sanity.  I would feel sorry for the man if I didn&#039;t despise all his programs and the way he implements them.

STOP THROWING MONEY AT THE BORDER!

The money our government has wasted at the border is sickening -- and for what -- to strengthen the border, to make it safer, to make it more secure?

We don&#039;t want it &quot;safer&quot; or &quot;more secure&quot; or &quot;strengthened&quot;.  We want you to do your job, Mr. President, and own the American side of the border.  We want to know who and what is coming in and out.  No more illegal aliens, anchor babies or drugs.  Keep the terrorists out.  OWN THE AMERICAN SIDE OF THE BORDER!

You and Janet Napolitano and John Morton are a joke.  There is one thing you can do now, for your country, AND THAT IS CLOSE THE BORDER AND CONTROL IT COMPLETELY.  Ahmadinejad will still be doing his insane dance in Iran, China will still be collecting our money, Russia will shake your hand and stab you in the back, Muslims will use you because you can&#039;t identify your friends -- BUT WE CAN HAVE A BORDER THAT WORKS.

I am way past being &quot;fair&quot; to everybody.  I want to be fair to Americans.  I am way past &quot;being careful not to antagonize&quot; Latinos.  They have been antagonizing me for years by calling me names like bigot, and racist, and hater.  I am sick to death of their slogans and marches and lies.  The Republicans and Democrats may not want to antagonize Latinos but I don&#039;t care anymore. Let the Department of Mexican Propaganda die a natural death.

We&#039;re broke, you government idiots, and I want you to stop wasting my money at the border. It&#039;s not your money; IT&#039;S MY MONEY. Close that border and do it right.  It&#039;s not space science.  Only you idiots can make it sound like something beyond human capability.</description>

		<description>THE NEW YORK MOSQUE MISTAKE

Who are Muslims?  They are tribes, within primitive tribes, within sects who have been killing each other since their great prophet, Muhammad, died.  Now they are here to kill us -- or as the politically correct would say -- one small element of Islam is radical.

Here&#039;s what Muhammad said before he died:  &quot;Know that every Muslim is a Muslim&#039;s brother, and that the Muslims are brethren; fighting between them should be avoided and the blood shed in pagan times should not be avenged; Muslims should fight all men until they say, &#039;There is no God but God.&#039;&quot;

Obama-style appeasement is not the answer to getting along with Muslims, if that is even possible.  Muslims don&#039;t want to get along with you; they want you to change to accommodate them.  If you give them an inch they take a mile.  Wherever Muslims go trouble soon follows.  Read &quot;Londonistan&quot; to see what&#039;s coming our way.

This good Muslim/bad Muslim bunk is just stupid.  There&#039;s no way to tell the good from the bad by looking and there&#039;s too many of them to monitor.  Muslims must be treated as a group, a religion with radical elements who may, when they become unhappy, call up their Imam overseas, or in the next American town, and ask for permission to kill.  America is now in the business of raising, teaching, nurturing young jihadists who kill Americans.  It is a fact that a certain number of American Muslims will become radicalized.

Now our President, a clueless appeaser whose main concern is how low do I bow to the next Saudi King, says we must not treat Muslims differently.  Well, I beg to differ.  Muslims are different, distinct, unlike any other religion that has put its roots in this country.  An element of Islam wants to kill us, Mr. President, or at least drive us into their religion by whatever means they have.

Prejudice is having preconceived ideas without facts.  I have facts.  The twin towers are a fact. Nearly 3,000 Americans dead is a fact.  I still shiver when I think of 9/11 and the cold cruelty of the act never leaves my consciousness.

If you expect me to welcome a Muslim mosque and cultural center near ground zero then you are nuts, insensitive and your sense of self-preservation is completely gone.  If this mosque-building gentleman wanted to build cultural bridges then he would not continue against the wishes of the majority of the American people.  It is that simple.

Once again, President Obama, you so easily slap the American people in the face.</description>

		<description>NAUGHTY BUT BLACK

Oh, no.  I can&#039;t look.  Both Waters and Rangel are black.  Am I allowed to notice?  Is noticing racial discrimination?  Perhaps I&#039;m profiling.  No, it probably falls under political correctness.  Yeah, well it&#039;s most likely a conspiracy by the far right.

Will I be shunned for noticing?  Will they write nasty things about me?  Maybe Al Sharpton will show up on my doorstep to ask for help for the NAACP -- you know, just a little donation for the cause.  What about the PC police?  Is there a warrant out?

Hmm.  I&#039;m not sure what to think.  I guess I could be a little paranoid in this racially oversensitive atmosphere where attacks can pop out of nowhere.  Don Lemon of CNN already told me there are certain words that blacks can use but whites can&#039;t.  I&#039;m not a rapper and I&#039;ve never used the &quot;n&quot; word but what if I used it by mistake.  You heard what they did to Dr. Laura?

I guess I bristle when told I can&#039;t use a word.  Aren&#039;t words for everyone?  Doesn&#039;t the First Amendment allow me freedom of speech, no matter how ribald, insensitive or stupid?

I think Don Lemon and talking heads were wrong.  I don&#039;t want words erased, extracted from history or banned.  We need to remember who we were. I think everyone should have a chance to show what idiots they are by their speech.  After all, people don&#039;t wear signs on their foreheads saying &quot;smart&quot; or &quot;mean&quot; or &quot;stupid.&quot;  Their speech is a good indicator of who they are and if we don&#039;t like that speech we can always walk away.</description>
